a college student goes on a shooting rampage in russia's far east killing one and injuring 3 others before taking his own life also. supporters of the libya's former president clashed with police demanding of you government leave and bring about the old one plus. a u.s. news channel a.b.c. is under pressure to explain convincingly why it pulled an explosive story all convicted paedophile jeffrey epstein instead the broadcasters apparently hunting for the whistle blow that leaked the information.

you know in here at the r.t. world news center our top story today coming in indeed from brushes far east where a 19 year old college student opened fire on his classmates this morning killing one and injuring 3 others before then turning the gun on himself now these pictures are new and this is the classroom without tragedy unfolded the attacker reportedly forced a teacher out of the class before then opening fire described as carmen quiet area managed to smuggle a gun past college security and is believed to have assembled it in the toilet here's what witnesses told us shortly after what happened. not by the 5 of us went to the toilet i was the 1st to answer and i felt how he put a gun at my stomach he kept silent for a while and then said get out of here because there's no. us government quotes you somehow managed to work through the security with a gun and killed. you i wanted to see what was going on i couldn't even imagine

that something like this could happen now sitting. there is that when you said we've tried to call our children but no one responded and then we received a name sincerely who died and those who were shot the 10 o'clock in the morning in blagoveshchensk. at a construction college shouldn't the shooter he walked into class and he was late the teacher asked him to leave he came back with a shotgun patently shotgun and asked well told the teacher to get out teacher rushed away she ran for police for help but he turned around to his classmates and they will hear behind desks the cording to a witness one of the one of the classmates one of the students he refused the shooter asked them you know why are you hiding and he said because i don't care i'm not afraid and he apparently shot him in or there were 3 people injured one person killed after this police rushed in

a patrol that was warned about what was happening they saw him in the car door he opened fire on them and they shot back he shot himself so you know that was there was. no prolonged sort of discussion or they did they couldn't talk them they didn't have enough time as for as for the reason why this happened apparently again according to reports he was the victim of bullying there was some animosity among the students perhaps you know a conflict short can itself was legally bought he had a permit for a shotgun and as i say police are investigating how he. bring this garden for one of the college why he wasn't stopped absence is an element of negligence here but for now you know one person in critical condition the other it's stable but moderate condition. at 11 am today 217 year olds arrived at the hospital with gunshot wounds both have been operated on one is in

a critical condition the other is stable. hopes and prayers with the people of the divisions because you know i was encouraged last year the school shooting the fortunately many more casualties it always leaves a scar these things you know the children are weakest so it's it's tragic. bolivia's been hit by a fresh round of violent protests this time for the supporters of the former president over morales he resigned after days of rallies demanding instead supporters now are on the streets calling on the new government to bring him back. as long as you are up. next to the government resident of experience was used against protesters demanding the immediate resignation of the government was real says remember the ocean congressman so i moved from our children from our country

you can see the grass crown behind me this seems to be an endless story judging by what is happening now the army is also next to the police including the tanks that support them. every rose fled to mexico along with many of his party members he stepped down on monday after weeks of violence triggered by claims his election victory was rigged rudders described events as a coup violence looting and vandalism followed and some of his supporters now say they're fearing for their own lives. lost and they have carried out a coup d'etat against those as of last night we are living like a dictatorship times they are hunting our leaders they are hunting it's very likely that they will see me and want my head to that is one of the divisions are caused by recess they persecute us as bolivia and it's those from i'll tell you they discriminate against us because we come from alto in the past they discriminate against those who wear skirts and we want to allow it. on tuesday the bolivian senator jeanine declared herself interim president of bolivia and was sworn in by

our allies parties dawdle quarter picks up the story from there. a new force has seized bolivia's political reins her name is janine is and she's just declared herself interim president but if you did as president of the senate i immediately take on the state presidency for singing in the constitution and i swear to undertake all the measures necessary to bring peace to the country on us has long been a critic of her socialist predecessor of omar alice who was forced to resign several days ago after the army dropped its support she evoked the constitution to justify getting the top job and has called for new elections but i guess herself wasn't actually elected she was just next in line after the president vice president and head of the senate all relinquished their posts even the legislature itself didn't really elect her because morales supporters boycotted that session now the real

people who put her in power there are a colorful bunch. meet mr camacho he was part of a gang that wasted little time ransacking morales's former home. but these trespassers weren't just a bunch of thieves they were searching for a more spiritual experience here's camacho and his buddies praying with a bible after breaking into the house one of their supporters praised it as christ's return to the bolivian government the bible is returning to the government palace never again will the pacha mama go to this return today christ is returning to the government powerless to live is for christ but you don't see that 2nd coming but then again come on shows long had a unique take on the lord's work he spent years leading a religious fundamentalist organization called the santa cruz youth union aside

from its reputation for p.t. it's also a purveyor of right wing ideology how far to the right. well it doesn't get much farther than this when you. get. a sizable number of the opposition's activists may be a bit unhinged but it's the political arm that is far more presentable carlos mesa was president before moralists and lost another election to him in october the think tank inter-american dialogue lists him as an expert on its website it's d.c. based and u.s. government funded but may says connections to washington run far deeper than that according to wiki leaks he was corresponding with the u.s. embassy in bolivia for years discussing the details of his political strategy no less in a meeting with the charge on october the 27th messam all but acknowledged that ever would win his constitution in january and that there was little point in taking the

quick zadok of trying to defeat it of course that makes the white house pretty happy the resignation yesterday of bolivian president evo morales is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail but the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly unstable especially now that the military isn't being 100 percent cooperative right now. because then you have refused to coordinate with the national police or you are saying the military is being overtaken by criminal records which are just entering the capital as ability and do your job we do not want more you will be responsible for everything that happens if after my order which i make as president i stand it over the crimes and it will be your responsibility and his may have gotten to the top sticking to the letter of the law

but it's going to take a lot more than that if she wants to patch up latin america's latest political vacuum what we've seen in bolivia with. i mean on years declare herself president in march into the the presidential palace holding a gigantic bible is actually more flamboyant than what we've seen anything we've seen from one why go to present himself as sort of a bookish dapper yuppie but we've also seen her seize power in violation of the constitution of bolivia a complete violation and today vote was rammed through in which anya has declared herself president but the majority of the senators who would have rejected her. party were not able to take part in the vote because their lives were threatened they basically had guns to their head their families were threatened if they showed up they could have been arrested or killed and so essentially you have

a right wing a dictatorship a military regime in power now in bolivia with no constitutional authority. when u.s. news channel a.b.c. quali spike to bomb a show report on describes billionaire geoffrey epstein years ago it probably expected that was the end of the story but the recent run by want to be sunk is that was caught on camera was put on occasions of a cover up into the spotlight and heads of rolled as a result that whole conflict next and how it would be see in other channels of humble the whole of. say you're a top media organization facing scrutiny over a controversial leaked video in case you've forgotten it makes for interesting viewing it was unbelievable what we had we had everything. i tried for 3 years to get on to no avail and now it's all coming out and thinking well of revelations well we had it was unreal there were no backing out. yeah. for years

ago now you could work to improve your credibility apologize or make amends or just brush it under the carpet and direct your efforts at finding and firing the alleged whistleblower to try to ensure they never work in news again the executives at america's a.b.c. the network have been busy doing just that the person calling themselves the whistleblower claims the company has been searching stuff e-mails and logs to find the culprit really employees and encouraging them to turn in the snitch instead of addressing this i don't like the company has in the past it has spun into a mission of seek and destroy innocent people that have absolutely nothing to do with this are being hunted down as if we were all support the audacity of that guy or girl 1st leaking the video then criticizing the company's methods but he or she is right about one thing there has been a hunt actually bianco a new hired producer at c.b.s.

was fired after just 4 days when her former employees at a.b.c. the term in that she believed the footage let her new bosses know did you make the tape i did not impact the pleated i didn't know what he had done wrong i wasn't even given the professional courtesy to defend myself i mean why take any risks right and the epstein scandal and cover up probably wasn't a good enough story to start with at the time not all of our reporting met our standards to air but we have never stopped investigating this story now we've asked both c.b.s. and. a.b.c. for further comment the latter have already said they never stopped looking into the obscene story and will release a 2 hour documentary plus a podcast sometime next year of the high standards of mainstream media are admirable so high in fact that even those who cover well media didn't find anything interesting untoward or newsworthy in the a.b.c. will supply of story n.p.r.'s on the media funded partially with taxpayer dollars

hasn't mentioned the story neither have many others in the days following the scandal there seem to be almost no mention of the story on m s n b c c.b.s. america's a.b.c. or n.b.c. news it's like him never happened or the facts were simply reported from a.b.c.'s version of events like the new york times did but meeting standards seems to be a bit of a pattern take road and pharo one of the journalists who broke the harvey weinstein story and works in a n b c but the network was very reluctant to air it and why after 7 months without one victim a witness on the record he simply didn't have a story that met our standard for broadcast nor that of any major news organization thank god for media standards making sure only the most news worthy stories make it on air this wasn't really a political story necessarily it was simply a story about corruption and power and some very disgusting crimes that were being

committed the problem is that it looks like there's no other competing network that we just we see them all basically in bed together and protecting the same people that may see me as a sort of incest us old boy system where one kind of looks out for each other and covers for one another this seems to go well beyond that into looking more like a cartel you know they are really doubling down and they're going out of their way to make sure there is no one in their ranks who might make them look bad 15 past the hour now thanks for watching this show. well we are all t. international ahead turkey and the u.s. can't seem to get over the differences sticking points like a cruise offensive against the kurds in syria and trucks with russia it also will speak of this in the coming decades israel's economy could reportedly face serious jeopardy says they think it knows where the blame might lie will tell you about that.

suggest is a call the reverse hunger games then reverse under our randomly pick 10 or 15 billionaires every year and strip them of everything down to 0 and pour some out there and make it into the world of commerce and see if they can build it up scratch again introduce risk back into the american capital system once you have a certain amount of money there's no more risk you're just clipping coupons for finity and you have no stake in the game whatsoever. because. that's not. how the west. the so-called individual is opposing this. strong. society and the freedom of the individual.

a visit to the white house by the president of turkey simply failed to ease tensions between the nato allies in a joint news briefing donald trump and red you had to discuss the number of issues that remain unresolved including the recent turkish operation against the us but kurdish forces in northern syria which went ahead despite warnings from washington . we've had a great relationship with the kurds and we fought with them burrs successfully against isis we've put together we had we had great generals and we have great equipment and it certainly helped a lot but we were very verse 6 s. will we have to make a distinction between 2 things we have no problem with the codes we have

a problem with kurdish terrorist organizations. now turkey and the united states have had their ongoing sticking points of disagreement regarding issues like the kurds syria the arms trade and relations with russia the united states has long maintained that it is capable of having a relationship with both turkey and with kurdish forces in syria however that balancing act hasn't always worked out so well as a point of reference you can look at the letter that trump sent to the turkish president in that letter he told arrow on quote don't be a tough guy don't be a fool when urging him not to continue his offensive against curtis positions in syria that letter was actually returned to donald trump by the turkish head of state today perhaps indicating that he gave no attention to it now another point of ongoing disagreement has been the issue of the f. 400 missile system that turkey is in the process of purchasing from russia donald

trump in the united states and made clear they don't find it acceptable for a member of nato to get closer to russia and to purchase military hardware from them that trump said this issue has not been resolved and that it is holding up the resolution of other disagreements between the countries turkey's acquisition of sophisticated russian military equipment such as the s 400 creates some very serious challenges for us then we are talking about it constantly we talked about it today we're talking about it in the future hopefully will be able to resolve that situation now turkey has been trying to have it both ways they are a member of nato an ally of the united states but they also have a strong relate. and shipped with russia and after washington arrow on his schedule to have a phone call with russian president vladimir putin something that washington is certainly not pleased of doubt now even today our ever donald trump emphasized that he never really has any doubts about the friendship between turkey and the united

states the president and i have been we've been very good friends we've been friends for a long time almost from day one this crucial meeting between the turkish head of state and the president of the united states took place at a time when the opening impeachment hearings against donald trump were taking place and many of the questions during the press conference were not related to turkey u.s. relations but rather focused on those ongoing impeachment hearings now the world will be left to wonder if the united states and turkey will be able to mend their relationship as the disagreements between the 2 countries seem to be rather numerous books abrams associate professor of public policy at northeastern university in boston told us that the u.s. is unlikely to make any concessions to heal in syria. certainly troll is not going to reverse himself in terms of the fact we are seeing turkish involvement in jordan syria turkey. i think that there will be some strong pressure on

her long try to reign in the rebel forces he is using because those are sort of fighting proxy militia agents on the ground old who are most of finance of all forms. are sort of go the crusher is married and i think that's going to talk about possibly all the far increased by mutual ties business with. far too culturally oh but otherwise i don't really see any concrete way in out of this meeting. the sick check ups will do stories in brief. i in hong kong there's been clashes between rival protest as one man who's been you know been confronted on to government activists who blocked streets transport of the city remains paralyzed for a 4th day and authorities have also announced that schools will be closed on thursday because of safety concerns they're also reportedly planning

a weekend curfew in a bid to try to curb increasing levels of violence. trouble yvel is to tell you the city's been hit by the worst flooding in more than half a century 2 people reportedly died around 85 percent of venice is now under water and according to the mayor the city's best known cathedral st marks basilica is sustained serious damage. in afghanistan felt people have been killed at least 20 injured in a car bombing in the center of the country's capital kabul one child reportedly among the dead the attack took place in the government offices of foreign n.g.o.s authorities confirmed that the targeted vehicles belonged to a canadian security company and that 4 employees were injured it's not known at the moment who was behind the attack. it brought in decades of conflict israel is now apparently facing the threat of economic demise that is if current demographic trends continue unchanged the think tank that issued a stark warning says it's the country's growing older author dr population that's

at the heart of the problem paul asli is got the story. israel's survival depends on its ability to deal with external threats right wrong a new study by news radio think tanks suggest cities radio does have been barking up the wrong tree when it comes to questions of existential crises one of the biggest problems to face this country in the coming years will come from the country's ultra orthodox community certainly changes the character of the zionist jewish state as we know it. will towards the dogs on the whole are not scientists but they don't serve in the army today 9 percent of israelis are ultra-orthodox in the next quarter of a century that figure will almost quadruple because of the high birth rate so that by 2065 some 35 percent of the population will be ultra religious the implications are huge but limited edition thank god the number of religious people is growing in this country and more jews want to be religious people are realizing

that they need to take care of their souls not just their bodies so they're turning to religion so there have to be afraid of anything still the effect on israel's future economy is clear only a tiny percentage of cultural if the docs male high school students study subjects like english math and science and with more than one in 3 i'm educated in 6 or less subjects israel's future economy looks bleak some little chores and that's are actually unemployed board elves and they are exempt from core curriculum they don't know english as adults if you don't know the word injured you can't operate a computer so israel if you leave here 2020 a quarter of our student body will be kids who are not study these basic skills and will become unemployed donalds this is a major threat to israel's economy and its israel's future yes chemistry may look like religious people are not working in a they're not providing for their families that is a mistake quality of life is not just about living standards religious people don't

to welcome to world a part of the kurdish strive for self-determination has long been a bargaining chip in if areas geopolitical arrangements including the syrian war they've been promised much and full even more with the americans pulling out from the territories east of the euphrates river what does the future hold for the kurds
