because i can think. of an interior minister who will say hope for pledges to boost security for all the country synagogues in the wake of wednesday's attacks adding it's germany's duty to never again allow anti semitism to rise. governmental action group extinction rebellion rallies across the world for a 4 day blocking roads amid a growing backlash from residents this is looking good. in. the cleanup and in the feeding he. needs to believe in what they are rather than what is it for it's for the environment. and to his military operation against the kurds in northeast syria rages for a 2nd day with donald trump now offering u.s.

mediation in the conflict just days after ordering the withdrawal of american troops from the region. whether this is an international. german interior minister who has promised to boost security in all of the country synagogues adding it is germany's duty to never again allow the growth of anti semitism and made the statement to the news conference and to people was shot dead at a synagogue on wednesday evangelise sips us has more or earlier today germany's federal prosecutor mentioned the perpetrator stefan who killed 2 people and how they germany was preparing a massacre we also know about in the vigil that 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 hope 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 on lying to create weapons at their house just like the ones we saw at the attack yesterday german chancellor angela merkel shot meyer and see a hole 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 without 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 in our country but this shooting incident that took place here sort of did not go on notice on the world stage prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned the attacks

saying that the rise of extremism and the semitic extremism in your. it's 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 what i cannot understand or tool is why the synagogue had no police protection on the most important jewish day of celebration had there been the shooter would with a hood have 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're going to be taking place in cities across germany. environmental action group extinction rebellion has been rallying in central london for a 4th day as part of a global campaign demanding governments take climate change more seriously since monday police have arrested more than 800 people protesters also tried to shut down

london city airport with an activist even climbing onto a british airways plane he was detained by airport security several arrests were made and officers pulled away demonstrators who glued themselves to the floor. of the london rallies wrong going extinction rebellion activists also times square in new york protesters there giving themselves to a boat and after activists in melbourne australia blocked roads a woman there broke into tears when she couldn't get to the home of her mother who passed away on sunday. is the thing you get in their minds like instead of the killing of them and i'm sitting here. i don't even know what the right of everyone is in 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 have on people. interesting thing about this kind of protest is that it appeals to a certain section of society. british politics is divided into different bubbles

and people who identified with the exposure billions will not care if there are destruction of the 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 i've talked to a lot of people with thing that lead 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 are you going to mention the word enlightenment and nobody rolls over it's almost like seeing the devil you know it's sort of hell and people just react as if it was some kind of religious cause that you cannot criticize that in case you missed this on the right questions whether the

extinction rebellion group wants to save the world or just moving your journey to work. the extinction rebellion holds back on the streets to save the world and your souls through a new journey to 1st will 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 ramping up the contents of them swearing at. wellington madrid paris and new york they bring news of apocalyptic death and destruction for all but the using tactics which are not. really popular like the truth 1 may go by now why are you worried. that you are scared to go to feeling hell's going to freeze over before these guys give it up and then again that is climate change. 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 support 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 when i say it's worked on me and even oid 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 of flying enough 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 only 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 low going to lie is going to work on this one i think they need to start thinking differently. the books refused to give up. the future of humanity. is at stake. account though they go hard solo and indiana jones

on their side. of the trumpet suggested the united states could mediate between turkey and the kurds comes as ankara continues its military offensive in northeastern syria following trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the area. the joys of bringing in the military and defeating everybody again or you have the choice of fed actually doing some very strong things. or we can mediate i hope we can mediate. turkey's military operation is called peace brings it will extend turkey's existing buffer zone in the country and intends to evict kurdish fighters from the area a group classes as terrorists it is forces accuse anchor of targeting civilians they claim 9 of already being killed. now the 1st phase of this operation began with air strikes in the kurdish controlled border towns of ras al-ain and beyond

the kurds have ordered a general mobilization along the border with turkey and vowing to confront the attack the operations now in its 2nd phase that's the ground offensive international community has condemned the operation as also warned the e.u. it will open the gates and allow millions of syrian refugees in turkey to head to europe if the bloc calls its move and invasion russia's u.n. ambassador blamed the situation on demographic engineering by members of the u.s. led coalition against isis all sides should should should exercise maximum restraint due to the pollution but. another thing is that this operation is it is all too for demographic engineering that some of the coalition partners do. we want them a long time not to experiment with that we were calling upon took in syria to engage in the dialogue. alive now to retired u.s.

air force lieutenant colonel us karen qatar ski welcome carol donald trump pulls out the troops then office to mediate a surprise that. not really he has been whining all around the world to bring troops home i mean this is part of his 26000 campaign and he's looking at his 2020 campaign so he wants to remind his voters of. you know of what he stands for america 1st and we're not getting involved in a lot of other countries military activities or troops on the ground so it's predictable that he would do this at this time he's been trying to do it for over a year with very little help from his political appointees want to work russia's u.n. ambassador to the situation and blamed it on the use the phrase demographic engineering by members of the u.s. led coalition there fighting against isis what do you make of that claim well it's an interesting way to look at it and i think there's

a lot of truth that. we use the united states used the kurds and continue to use the kurds and we hang over here exercise. the idea that they will happen not only that the u.s. will from the listening using. territory from iraq territory from turkey. the united states and her allies communicated this with with no real intention and no real seriousness so yes in a sense we have misled the kurds because it served our purposes it no longer serves our purposes certainly not donald trump's purposes so you know yes demographic engineering certainly maybe we just lied to them we found out now that the president of turkey asked donald trump for military assistance prata this operation but was turned down just took even need the help. i don't think it

does given what i think turkey's trying to do which is to ensure that turkey has the upper hand on its border with syria i don't think i don't see turkey as expansionist in this race in this respect i mean they have a kurdish situation internally and in the region they have a refugee situation and they have hopefully a partner in syria in resolving these things so i don't see this is something that necessarily has to get out of hand i think it can be nearly focused activity really concerning syria and concerning turkey it shouldn't concern a lot of other folks it shouldn't concern the united states i personally i think trumps on the right track and if it's truly if 1500 u.s. troops came there removal is such a crisis that's a real problem i don't think it's the crisis that it's being made out to be by the u.s. congress and by some of the european countries i think this is

a border situation much like much like many that we've seen complicated by the fact that the u.s. policy in the middle east is really seeing it go away we're really seeing it pulled back partly because it's failed and partly because donald trump is facing an election and this is part of how he gets elected in 2020 you know we're seeing more votes for diplomatic behavior now trumps threatening to use massive sanctions are going to strike if they act i think the phrase that was used was an inhumane manner if they cross a certain line do you believe him do you think you'll follow through those threats . well yes i do think that he might follow through he has been quite willing to institute tariffs institut. you know trade wars. the problem is the world doesn't need us trade and us friendliness is much as it used to.

this is the fact of the of the matter really so turkey has already been threatened by sanctions it's had sanctions applied to it on i don't think it's worried about that so whether or not trump does it i don't think that's a factor it is very interesting to me that that trump is offering to help with you know some sort of negotiations i think this is good he should be talking this way all american presidents speak this way and i think trump would actually i think he actually means that. really good to speak to pressure your time retired u.s. air force lieutenant colonel karen the task is my guess thank you kyra. thank you very much ok so skilled the french interior minister has been warning of how to spot radicalize ation but it's a question. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics for. i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

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. adelitas to the pilot and the introduction of the be a fire diversity standers with plentiful introduce diverse to standards for $20.21 our aim is to bring the industry together to improve diversity and inclusion through share and best practice shows most meets at least 2 for diversity standards including at least one main character from an underrepresented social group are also requirements for gender nikken sexual minority balances among the whole cast and team working on the show we discuss the story with media and legal analyst lionel who says that the new standards will 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 explode but sometimes in the scheme of the imagine doing the godfather with the more swedes more 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 or so to speak it is what is hip what is new and what it is it's the ice 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 your commercial success is dependent upon this you must compress your particular creativity within

this particular framework it is intellectually disingenuous it modern day blacklisting horrible. after last week's attack at the paris police headquarters that left 4 officers dead officials have since admitted they missed warning signs about the killer's radicalization. but the french interior minister's ideas on how to recognize such. people have caused controversy charlotte dubiously explains. it's being a rocky week for france's interior minister christopher kasten a founder of self blindsided after telling the world the man who murdered 4 colleagues at the paris police h.q. hadn't shown the slightest cause for alarm calls for his resignation followed when it emerged that they had indeed been much to cause concern now it appears he's trying to show he has things under control but to hear it from his national assembly he outlined how the sawing of islam missed radicalization could be spotted

so in the words of just another how do you spot a radical by mrs senior in the sun that must be noted a rigorous religious practice is specially a remedy is a sign that should trigger an alert in the same way does the individual agree to team up with a woman or not does he have a regular and ostentatious practice of ritual prayer and also note a female civil servant wearing a veil in public. well that's an interesting list to start with but perhaps is most illuminating suggestion of how to spot somebody who's been radicalized is this tidbit these signs of them become more or more obvious and related to behavioral changes such as having a beard. do you think that he owns a mirror. and that point certainly wasn't lost on one of france's m.p.'s reported on numbers

that you mentioned having a beard can be problematic i see that you have a beard yourself come to think of it having a beer could be a bit of a problem for the others in the government to. so as the be a good men for all c's ruling elites are all probably running off to buy raises as we speak we thought we'd ask people in paris what they make of the interior minister's top tips on how to spot an islamist radical i think having a beer today in france can be. a bit solve a problem because you can you can get. more attention than you desire from the

police. i know bearded people who go out in the evening and they are not radical at all about syquest beard is a fashion for me hair and beard does not make you radical. i do not think that a beard is a sign of radicalization it does not make any sense to me and people should not be judged by their appearance so advice like that i doubt this idiot's guide is going to be on sale anytime soon charlotte r.t. paris. russia move one step closer to qualifying for next year's european football championship after they defeated scotland 4 nil in moscow st petersburg will be one of the host cities for next year's event and he spoke exclusively to you wait for president alexander cziffra who told us why he hugs russia will 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 more

challenging but the problem is that whenever the home team doesn't qualify take some spirit of the competition but still you have to know that 30000000 people will have the chance to be in the stadiums during the euro and july we've got 19000000 bequests with tickets. so everything will be sold out for sure i would love as many host teams to qualify but we cannot influence that. if you want to see more you can watch the full version of that interview to be available very shortly on our web site that is our dot com. stay with us throughout the evening we're going to make a substitution of a row now and you can check out our latest headlines with my colleague don hawkins in half an hour.

on this edition of crosstalk we demystify serious kurds almost all of the criticism launched against syria policy is not rooted in facts actually that criticism is driven by false narratives and the inability to admit that international proxy war to overthrow the damascus government has failed the sooner all american troops leave syria the better for syria and the beach. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to the press. this is like the flag for you the more people. i'm interested always in the are losing out. there should be

a. much . closer look. at the connection to mom i'm glad samson asked for the last 70 and seeing and on the rest day for the rights promotion commission she will. branch in shifts to shoot on disk in the.

asian community no mommy. legion mom. no new car so so don't know pretty much the same new mom was just that are new and. play. well can fit alex salmond she will we continue our cds of homelessness one of the issues pushed into the political shadows by the all encompassing bricks that debate . today is officially marked as world homelessness day i'm going to rise against a background of record figures for rough sleeping in london and of record deaths of

polish people across england and wales last week we focused on the practical action being taken by those on the front line of the battle against poverty and homelessness when alex visited brixton soup kitchen we've got clients who have been with us from the beginning i'm now they're volunteering with us because they want to give back they want to give back that support they got when they needed it today we talk to someone who's taken one of london's iconic images of red buses i'm apply them to come back to london shame of those excluded from the global cities prosperity and wealth we're looking a really holistic approach alex so we've got to eating sleeping learning and wellbeing you know so it was slightly different to most not shelters or day centers we're saying to these guys come down his your bunk has your storage we've got you for an extended period of time and lipo off and have

a shower and get cleaned up and then right let's get you back on your feet. i do speak to some of the famous backers who are putting their shoulders to the wheel can we celebrity supporters make a real difference which it matters and i think the thing what dunn is doing with buses for the homeless is making little poles with in london buses and that not only are they giving some people so much live they're also bringing in people to to you know rehabilitate them into society again but 1st your reaction to last week show len says great respect for the charities helping the homeless i so wish they weren't needed universal credit to has a lot to answer for eleanor says universal credit is set up to set you up to feel gary spent says the u.k. is the 5th largest economy so a soup kitchen shouldn't be needed people should be housed in unused houses it is immortal that anyone is left homeless henry says they may have a moral duty but have they got the political will to end sanctions and universal

credit and tackle high rents in the private sector build more affordable homes he saves and finally living says could be any one of us don't kid yourself these guys and girls did not wake up one morning and say yahoo i'm going to live on the street the london red bus along with bobby's helmet and the tide of london as one of the capital cities create icons fitting therefore that this same image should be applied to tackling london's hidden shame the fact that in this prosperous global city rough sleeping and death of the homeless are more slightly rising it is not in doubt that there is public support for action on this scandal otherwise there wouldn't be the public financial support for the well known charities such as shelter crisis and the big issue however today we focus on specific practical action in the battle against homelessness and one of the richest cities in the world alex speaks to dan atkins and jason armstrong of buses for homeless.
