country mounts we speak to the president's spokesperson. any concrete cares about the border security i mean you have to move those russians or anybody we have to take europe on board with you. thanks for joining us here on r.t. and. german interior minister. to boost security in all of the country synagogues adding it is germany's duty to never again allow the growth of anti semitism he made the statements at a news conference but 2 people were shot dead at the synagogue on wednesday evangelise cips us has more. or earlier today germany saw federal prosecutor mention the perpetrator stefan who killed 2 people and how they germany was preparing a massacre we also know but in the view. he had

a manifesto and he posted it online with many anti jewish comments in it he also lifestream the incident to encourage other people to follow his steps earlier today though germany's interior minister see a whole for spoke to the media saying that this event is quote shame to our nation he also mentioned that at the semitic attacks have been on the rise in germany and extremism is very high but he also mentioned that islamist terror is the central challenge for germany he also mentioned that he is working closely with germany's law enforcement agencies to make it more difficult for individuals to buy materials online to create weapons at their house just like the ones we saw at the attack yesterday german chancellor angela merkel shot myer and see a whole for all out rage with the rise of extremism in germany. hate racism and anti-semitism must not be present in our country and apart from the

consistency of our constitutional state nothing can serve this goal better than a multifaceted civic commitment because to stand up against prejudices and hatred to stand up for respect and tolerance to participate in associations volunteering services and other initiatives that makes us strong as a society. germany made a promise to the whole world after world war 2 never again i feel deeply committed to this right now the federal government must do everything so the jews in our country can live with threats and fear about. it is not enough to condemn such a cowardly attack it must be clear the takes responsibility for jewish life for the security of jewish life in germany it must be equally clear the society society as a whole must show an attitude. of solidarity with the jewish people.

but this shooting incident that took place here said it did not go on notice on the world stage prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned the attacks saying that the rise of extremism and semitic extremism in europe is on the rise but not only him here in germany jewish german leader also said that he was very shocked with the lack of police presence at the synagogue on the whole the estate of the jewish calendar one cannot understand the tool is why the synagogue had no police protection on the most important jewish day of celebration had the shooter would with all likelihood of been prevented from committing a 2nd attack politicians and community leaders will be holding sabbath tomorrow as well as a candlelight vigil in how late but there are many more they are going to be taking place in cities across germany. environmental action group extinction rebellion has been rallying in central london for a 4th day a spawn of

a global campaign that demands governments take climate change more seriously since monday police have arrested more than 800 people have also tried to shut down london city airport with one eye to vist even climbing onto a british airways plane he was detained by airport security several arrests were made offices all the way demonstrators who had glued themselves to the floor. of the london rallies wrong going extinction rebellion activists blocked times square new york protesters there a glued themselves to a boat and after activists in melbourne australia blocked roads a woman broke into tears when she couldn't get to the home of her mother who passed away on sunday. that we get the money instead of the lead up to him feeding he. needs to i don't even know what the right of that but i want to use it for it's for the environment author and sociology professor frank furedi says that many activists don't seem to care about the effect their actions are having on people. this kind of protest is that it appeals to

a certain section of society. british politics is divided into different bubbles and people who identify be dick's future billions will not care if there are destruction of these people's lives or do an upside down you no doubt will you know they will still put up with this even though it might be inconvenient i think a lot of people you know the rest of society is very irritated at the often feel that they have to censor themselves after a lot of people with thing don't need demonstrators are a bunch of children. who are who demand a lot of attention but don't do any constructive but they're almost afraid to voice their concern in case they are denounced for not caring about the environmentalists i think what happens now is only going to mention the word enlightenment and nobody rolls over it's almost like seeing the devil you know sort of hell and people just the react as if it was some kind of religious cause that you cannot criticize.

and casey mr simon right questions whether the extinction rebellion group wants to save the world or simply ruin your journey to work. the extinction rebellion hordes are back on the streets to save the world and your souls really need journey to work 1st we'll take you to melbourne where stephanie anderson is standing by intense things there they are blocking roads. absolutely divine or in fact the intensity is just rattling off of the contents of them swearing at. wellington madrid paris and new york they bring news of apocalyptic death and destruction for all but they using tactics which i'm not personally popular through. are you worried. that you are scared to go to feeling hell's going to freeze over before these guys give it up but then again that is climate change we're.

in the event that you actually want to talk to one of these activists more likely to avoid one how do you support them well. you know what you call them in fact british prime minister brown stones and. been. uncooperative. they can vote right there's plenty of people out there wondering whether constantly antagonizing the general public is going to be successful. it's worked on me i'm annoyed me so much my she went to find out what they're demanding demand number one the demonstrators are demanding the government tells the truth kids to love and perhaps we can get flying piggies to eat all the carbon into

rainbows too. but the government must act now to hold boiler diversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. ok well as pretty ambitious but you know no out of they want to do it they want to cut down on the amount will fly . one less hold every year they want to cut down on the amount of dairy being produced by coffee for the grandkids and they want to cut down on the amount of meat will eat who loves the grandkids anyway. and demand 3 we have a national citizen family on climate logical just inherently the idea is this citizens' assembly is going to be made up of a cross-section of society though probably not this guy let me. be honest i'm not sure democracy in a load line is going to work on this one i think they need to start thinking differently. the books refused to give. the future of

humanity. is at stake. all count though they go hand solo and indiana jones on their side. turkeys military operation against kurds in northeast syria has entered its 2nd kurdish forces accused of targeting civilians they say 9 people have already been killed the international community is also condemning the offensive but president brigitte tired when certain to send refugees in turkey to the european union if it continues to condemn ankara's actions. what. these countries are not honest they are not sincere they're just talking they talk the talk we walk the walk this is the difference now our fight is against isis the y.p. ji and the p.k. k. we are continuing our fight with all of our own and we will continue to do so we

have 3600000 syrian refugees in our country waiting to go back home hey european union come to your senses all saints again at the moment our operation you cannot define it as an invasion our job is easy we can open the doors and 2600000 refugees we will send them all back to your. operation piece spring is aimed at fighting kurdish forces and isis in syria will extend his existing buffer zone in the country and plans to evict kurdish fighters from the area he deems to be terrorists then wants to return millions of syrian refugees from turkey back home mr separation with the turkish president spokesperson. we are not interested in changing demographics in order syria or occupying any part of syria we want to establish this safe zone for the seat of our citizens and also for the syrian refugees and the local people living in that part of syria it's in. the

international law un charter article 51 and our fight against terrorism if you are attacked from another country and that country doesn't take care of their parents threat then you are entitled to support yourself any country cares about the border security i mean you have to comerica as russians or anybody we have to take care of our own borders you cannot imagine a situation where americans will allow for example a branch of al qaida or dies along the american mexican border just because of their fight against drug cartels you cannot fight one terrorist organization with another one the same goes true for russia if all the european country the real threat to their national security from their border of course they are entitled to take action. the 1st phase of the operation began with air strikes on the 2 kurdish controlled border towns of ras al-ain and the kurds have ordered a general mobilization along the border with turkey vowing to confront the attack operations now into its 2nd phase that the ground offensive thousands of civilians

have been fleeing the area and urging the international community to step in. america and other countries should protect us they are committing sin here our children and women is there really no mercy let everyone stand up for us arabs foreigners sin sin clearly this is an occupation we are a peaceful people we live calmly work to our own business it is a crime here look here on the bus real to the people here look at this can't you see you soldiers there there are children around and we we are talking about displacement and effectively genocide of innocent kurdish civilians innocent communities within that region so it is absolutely terrifying to know how you know the communities are feeding as they are continually being bombarded by the turkish

offensive the kurds have always been on the defensive but now they know they must defend themselves and their family which means that unfortunately they may not be able to police you know there are reports that actually within the camps there are some rebellions you know some isis rebellions going on so unfortunately the security threat is there for then raised and you know it is now going to cause a big vacuum and a significant problem in terms of security for the offensive follows president on terms decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the area in his latest statement he defended the move saying the kurds did not help the united states during the 2nd world war he did warn however that turkey's offensive could lead to i saw prisoners escaping and heading to europe. stink of fire just gaping hole in the thread where well they're going to be escaping to europe that's where they want to go they want to go back to their homes but europe didn't want him from us we could have given a term they could have had trials they could have done whatever they wanted but as

usual it's not reciprocal you know measure a real word reciprocal. speak now a house anally political analyst and commentator very good evening to you we had the claim that from the u.s. president would you agree with that do you think that this turkish offensive will increase the chances of isis fighters escaping and heading to europe. i think that's always a possibility i mean it all depends i mean look let's be brutally honest over here we all know who controlled the. mentee it's controlled out of watch out of washington out of tel aviv out of places like this it was put in syria it was put in iraq to create more oil most likely. and now where it goes this is entirely up to its own and i mean everyone says that america has withdrawn from syria from the northeast northeastern part of syria they haven't america still has troops over there that are watching what's going on and my biggest fear about the whole operation by the invasion by turkey into syria is that it. is like

baiting the kurds into getting syria to confront tomato ally which then gives me to a pretext to go away and you know complete what they wanted to do in syria in the 1st place which will you know the timing is very interesting because syria was coming to you know. everything was beginning to calm down in syria the war was essentially over more or less and now this is all kicked off again the timing is very interesting mr dunn's claims very interesting the fact that mr trump makes all of these claims about you know we're going to step aside and this stupidity that he's saying that didn't help us in world war 2 i mean what's world war 2 got to do with the price of fish very strange what common sense yes there is a risk coming to europe there's a risk oh go into syria proper will attempt to or into iraq or into many other places. saying ok do you think that that perhaps failure of.

terrorists among millions of refugees heading to europe is another reason we're not seeing any action from the e.u. against tick. i think. it could be i mean erdogan has made his. famous sort of i will unleash the refugees on europe. this terrifies europe you know it's very strange that it terrifies europe but ok fine it terrifies them maybe this is why they have taken a bit of a backseat i've heard news norway has decided to stop. at least somewhat and this is a good thing because ultimately what everyone is doing what nato is doing a living so countries are doing is essentially rekindling the war in syria this is exactly what are the guys doing he's the guy to rekindle the war at the end of the

day everyone knows what are the gun is you know any time anyone exposed or gone or what he was like the press t.v. journalists earnest him she was killed you know this is what he does this is this is how he operates he's. the friend of the west he comes along and does all these stupid things at a time where it benefits america and allies the most he doesn't actually care about what's happening to the kurdish people look to the turkish people to the syrians he's going on interest and this is part of the problem someone who has no morality question is very difficult to reason with fortunately do you think there's still room for dialogue with the russian foreign minister talked about the possibility of getting everybody to sit down the key syria is there still a possibility that there would. you know i think i think the 2 countries that could really help with the resolving this so at least calming it down is russia and iran i think the 2 of these countries along with syria can come.

down they can remove this kurdish enclave which itself is an anomaly anyway because all of that land is syrian territory the turks of the kurds rather have been occupying on behalf of america and that needs to stop all of the syrian arab army needs to come into these new areas under the protection of iranian troops and russian troops of course and cleanse this area from all of the terrorists and you know recover all of the economic assets the syria has that are being stolen day in day out everyone knows how much. syrian oil and gas are the gun was stealing through dogs so you know this all needs to stop and i think the only people the only countries that have got the morality and the decency in the honor to do it is russia and iran and i really hope they do something. finally russia noted that the

u.s. led coalition in their opinion is responsible for the current crisis to to what it calls washington demographic engineering was the phrase he used would you rather not. absolutely completely agree with that because what they're trying to do is they need to create a kurdish or they want to create america wants the american stroke israel want to create a kurdish kurdish state in that region and what people need to understand is that the kurdish people historically are a people who have never had a state just like the bedouin the bedouin people they are ethnically iranian the ethnically persian and they move around their cattle herders they're nomads they don't have a country to say that they have a country is ludicrous anyone who studies a bit of history will know that there is no such thing as a kurdish land there's a province called kurdistan in iran which is where they you know maybe there's more of a concentration but it's only a province they don't have a country and they're a part of syria they're part of turkey they're parts of iraq they're part of all of these countries and i think what america is trying to do is it wants to have this

kurdish enclave right on the border of iran and of course russia which will use its leverage and you know to create instability the same way uses israel to create instability on the western flank this is this is part of the game so i think russia is absolutely right that this is what america is trying to do its program to create a demographic scenario where none exists or at least none of the type that america says exists exists good to speak my guess is our political analyst. thank you so much. onto the news that t.v. shows will now have to meet strict ethnic gender and sexual minority diversity standards in order to win britain's top small screen awards the baptists. we are delighted to be a pilot and the introduction of the be a fire diversity standers with plentiful introduce diverse dissenters for $20.21

our aim is to bring the industry together to improve diversity and inclusion through share and best practice shows now meet at least 2 of 4 diversity standards including at least one main character from an under represented social group are also requirements for gender think in sexual minority balances among the whole cast and the team working on the show we discussed this story with media and legal analyst lionel who says the new standards in his opinion will hurt creativity in the industry. if i'm trying to do a story about a group of men in the war or students or whatever sometimes the subject matter lends itself to a particular demographic not because i am bi is not because i'm hateful not because i want to exclude but sometimes in the scheme of the imagine doing the godfather with more swedes or asians represented i mean it doesn't make any sense they're doing this gratuitously i respectfully submit because it is posh it is the

neck tattoo the stud the the a cool trim are so to speak it is what is hip what is new and what it is it's falling it is taking the free exercise of unbridled creativity and saying you may do this but if you would like to win awards which of course you are commercial success is dependent upon this you must compress your particular creativity in this particular framework it is intellectually disingenuous it's modern day blacklisting horrible. people have expressed outrage after us comedian ellen de generous was from sitting next to george w. bush many claim the former president is a war criminal and the even called for him to be brought to justice but it seems radically different political views and i bar to friendship just so long as you hate the current leaders on tom it has more. ellen de generous the liberal talk

show host and defender of gay rights sitting next to george w. bush the conservative former us president who actually pushed for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages who'd have thought they could be friends. after the twitter roddy pointed out the unlikely friendship ellen was quick to defend george i think i'm friends with george bush in fact i'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that i have we're all different and i think that we've forgotten that that's ok that we're all different just because i don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that i'm not going to be friends with him when i say be kind to one another i don't mean only the people that think the same way that you do i mean be kind to everyone now trying to bridge america's political gap is certainly admirable but does being kind to everyone include the man who allowed this to happen declared 500 liters of anthrax unscom estimates of saddam hussein that are producing 25000

liters at this hour american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq to free its people and to defend the world great danger. i mean i think you said i think george w. bush is a war criminal you know he sent all of these people to die. some of them came back there were dead how did not sit on our sorry until george w. bush is brought to justice for the crimes of the iraq war including american led torture iraqi deaths and displacement and the deep scars emotional and otherwise inflicted on our military that serves his folly we can't even begin to talk about kindness the weapons of mass destruction were fake news by the way but that's all in the past right a lot of american media personalities and celebrities are actually praising ellen for hanging out with they say it shows bravery. common sense we would all do well

in our lives to listen a little less to trump and those in the twisted left who think counseling people is a way to improve anything and a little more to the likes of al and george w. bush how comforting to see a real president never thought he would move me so come on republicans call trump save democracy what's remarkable about president bush's and alan degenerates friendship is that it's remarkable in today's polarized society great example you don't have to share the same use to be friends we seem to be forgetting one important detail george w. bush after all has denounced donald trump that's what matters a leader can commit war crimes and be responsible for thousands of deaths but as long as they denounce the man in the oval office with his offensive hair and nasty words they're ok with the liberal establishment bigotry seems emboldened our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories we've seen nationalism

distorted into nativism. forgotten the dynamism that immigration is always brought to america torture illegal wars bombing civilians these things just start a red line once you're out of the white house a few years pass and you can be dancing with ellen degenerates as if it never happened these things are just a fact of life in america so why lose sleep but don't forget swinging against the donald as a way to win friends among the liberals that counts for more than anything a lot more than any of your deeds in the past. r.t. new york. is to football now because russia has moved one step closer to qualifying for the next year's european championships after going 3 nil up against scotland in a game here in moscow st petersburg you must know is a host city for those euros our correspondent he spoke exclusively with the president alexander and he told us why he hopes russia will indeed qualify. in any case if countries fail to qualify how how more much more challenging with that

become in terms of logistics for the organizers for the logistics not much much more challenging but the problem is that whenever the home team doesn't qualify take some spirit out of the competition but still you have to know that 30000000 people will have the chance to be in the stadiums during the euro until july we've got 19000000 the quest for tickets. so everything will be sold out for sure i would love as many host teams to qualify but we cannot influence them. and of course the full interview on our website dot com will bring you the final score from that russia scotland game next hour here on our tail be back with the. result for you enough now.
