hunting for the. information. one minute. 11 pm in sydney on. thursday nov 14th welcome to r.t. international. we begin in russia is far east where college shooting us left one person dead 3 injured a recent development to the security guard on duty at the time has been arrested on suspicion of negligence a 19 year old student smuggled into a construction college where he was studying we can show you the classroom where. of course the scene here to the attacker who is described as unquiet forced 80. i

thought of the room before putting fire on his classmates he then turned the gun on himself this is what witnesses told us shortly after the answer. 5 of us went to the toilet i was the 1st to answer and i felt how he put a gun to my stomach and he kept silent for a while and then said get out of here against his nose he was gone quiet he somehow managed to work through the security with a gun and killed. could you i wanted to see what was going on i couldn't even imagine that something like this could happen now sitting. there did this when you we've tried to call our children but no one responded and then we received the names and syria names of those who died and who were shot we've got to be careful in the aftermath of especially in the immediate hours after an event a tragedy like this there's a lot of rumors that spread the changed in the lot of misleading in our private

freak information but according to what the police have said bits and pieces and reports i wouldn't of testimony in the media at 10 am local time in blagoveshchensk a city in the far east of russia the shooter a student at a construction college arrived late for class the teacher asked him to leave and he did he came back carrying a shotgun he entered the classroom he told the teacher to get out she was forced out and then he turned the gun on his classmates. but it just got that. it took a little spill it. looks to be it's been for years. just comfortable he continued shooting after that with the kids you know teenagers . one person was killed another 3 injured one of them in critical condition.

the teacher the teacher scaped and she got help leese who arrived on the scene called in paramedics and doctors the injured were taken to hospitals to witness what you know if you live in 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 now police when they arrived at the scene thankfully apparently very quickly before there were further casualties they found him on the 2nd floor in a corridor when he saw police he fired at them there was an exchange of gunfire i went into a classroom and turned the gunman himself committed suicide. the shooter was 19 years old the firearm was licensed yeah that he had a permit for the. pain. as i see investigation underway now to stop this

the details but according to witnesses and some of his classmates there could have been animosity conflicts between the students apparently he may have been the victim of bullying which in no way excuses what he did but it certainly flushes out the circumstances investigation is under way already the security guard at the college has been arrested on suspicion of criminal negligence apparently the company that hired him a private security firm there also in hot water because he wasn't licensed to be a security guard at this college. nevertheless the investigation continues well as more information comes in we'll bring it to our viewers one thing i must mention though is you know being there in the aftermath of a school shooting i was in last year there were fortunately many. more casualties

of the. but it always leaves the mark you know the shooting at the school with society's moved to vulnerable. moving the program on bolivia has been hit by a fresh round of violent protests this time from the supporters of former president evo morales he resigned after days of rallies demanding his departure his supporters however are now on the streets calling for the new government to bring him back. as. we were in the past next to the government residence tear gas was used against protesters demanding the immediate resignation of the government built the expulsion of congress men and loot come on shore from the country you can see the gas cloud behind me this seems to be an endless story judging by what is happening now the army is also next to the police including tanks that support them.

fled to mexico along with many of us party members who stepped out on monday after weeks of bio lintz triggered by claims that last month's election victory was rigged rollo's has described the event as a coup by lynn's looting and vandalism soon fall and some of his supporters now say they are fearing for their lives. they have carried out a coup d'etat against does 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. the divisions are caused by recent they persecute us as bolivians 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. then they'll choose they believe in senator janine the 3rd herself interim president of bolivia and was sworn in by her. artie's

double quarter and picks up the story for us. 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 scene 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 relinquish 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 they're

a colorful bunch. meet mr camacho he was part of a gang that wasted little time ransacking morales is 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 powerless never again will the pacha mama goodness 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. is 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 sizeable number of the oppositions activists may be a bit unhinged but it's the political arm that is far more presentable carlos mesa was president before morales 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 messa all but acknowledged that ever would win his constitution in january and that there was little point in taking

that 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. 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 going to capital as a bolivian do your job we do not want more blood you will be responsible for everything that happens if after my order which i made as president to stand it for the crimes don't end it will be your responsibility on 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 hi nina on years declare herself president and 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. who presents himself as sort of a bookish and dapper yuppie but we've also seen her seize power in violation of the constitution of bolivia in 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. this is mosque 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 you essentially have

a right wing dictatorship a military regime in power now in bolivia with no constitutional authority. when america is a.b.c. t.v. network quietly shelved a bombshell news report on the scrapes billionaire jeffrey epstein years ago the network probably expected that was the end of the story however a recent run by one of its anchors off firm but caught on camera brought elevations of a cover up into the spotlight and heads have ruled as a result don't you hawkins looks now at home a.b.c. i'm other channels have humbled the entire affair. 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 it 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 back to you know. 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. 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'd leaked the footage let her new bosses know did you make the tape i did not impact depleted 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 newsworthy 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 the mainstream media as a sort of incest us old boy system where we kind of looks out for each other and others for one another this seems to go well beyond that into looking more like a cartel you know they are really doubling down they're going out of their way to make sure there is no one in their ranks who might make them look bad. still ahead turkey in the you. seem to move key difference since despite high level talks in washington we'll look into that a little later in the program. also this week. for the israeli economy in the coming decades.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for

indication let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. 19 minutes past the hour welcome back embroiled in decades of conflict israel is no partly facing the threat of economic demise that is if current demographic trends continue all changed apparently they think the stark warning sees it's the country's growing ultra-orthodox population that's at the heart of the problem it's been more for middle east correspondent paula slater. israel's survival depends on its ability to deal with external threats rice wrong a new study by an israeli think tanks such

a city's way he 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 sure 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 55 percent of the population will be ultra religious the implications are huge but 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 orthodox 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 in the us are actually under include all adults only are exempt from core curriculum they don't know english is adults if you don't know the word injured you can't operate a computer so israel if you leave here 2020 a quarter over a 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 it may look like religious people are not working and they're not providing for their families but that is a mistake quality of life is not just about living standards religious people don't need an expensive car they don't need a huge house they're happy with the modest things in life religious people often stigmatizes but many of those who study the torah have also studied foreign

languages and many of the things israel is one of the world's most dangerous regions it requires a 1st world economy to sustain a modern effective army just so that it can continue to exist the challenge really is one of life and death. r.t. jerusalem. the turkish president's 1st visit to the white house in 2 years has seemingly failed to ease tensions with the u.s. . on the scales the number of issues that remain on resolved between the nato allies that includes a recent operation by turkey against us by kurdish forces in northern syria which went to the spike warnings from washington. we've had a great relationship with the kurds and we fought with them bur successfully against isis we fought together we had. i have 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 organization. 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 paid no attention to it now another point of ongoing disagreement has been the issue of the f. $400.00 missile system that turkey is in the process of purchasing from russia

donald trump in the united states have 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 and 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 relationship with russia and after washington errol on is scheduled to have a phone call with russian president vladimir putin something that washington is certainly . not pleased that out now even today however donald trump emphasized that he never

really has any doubts about the friendship between turkey and the united states the president 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 are 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 yes so where does this actually go we've been getting reaction including from public policy expert mucks abrams who say the u.s. is unlikely to make any concessions to turkey on syria. certainly trouble is not going to reverse himself in terms of the fact we have seen turkish

involvement in jordan syria turkey instead i think that there will be some strong pressure on the long term rein in the rebel forces needs that he's using because those are sort of finding proxy militia agents only growing who are most responsible for the top of the sort of go the crusher with me but i think that trump is going to talk about possibly all the father increase by mutual ties business relations between our 2 countries oh but only one is i don't really see any concrete win out of this meeting what is it and where did it come from fake news as in the spotlight next on watching the whole ballots ahead in moments.

the head off ice is decapitate. ideology. regrouping they have sleeping. in iraq about the studio too so we have to did with this problem back to the long term as it was but it wasn't a copy but. it was all for it so i think the logic applied to this. about global to. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been great only implement from the inside venezuela things to different we're going

to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associated. famous will have a son of a moment. down that political battle to stay on the path to the magic moment of the who story isn't new nixon called in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream so wants to make the economy of venezuela screed. as a spy that's. the customers go by you're just in. the now. that's undercutting that what's good for the market is not good for the global economy.

readings in salutation. the federal bureau of investigations is reeling with the barest mint this week oct watchers no i'm not i'm not talking about the news that mr hire loyalty i'm so former f.b.i. director james comey has been awarded his own brand new mini series based on his book about his firing as f.b.i. director by donald trump in the midst of russert gate starring jeff daniels no not talking about that now this news is far more embarrassing and in any normal functioning society would produce massive reforms and firings it appears that our good friends at the f.b.i. were found to be in appropriately using and abusing the data collected under the

tories section 7 o 2 the foreign intelligence surveillance act ars technica reports that the united states foreign intelligence surveillance court actually ruled back in october of 2018 that the f.b.i. misused surveillance data to look into american residence including other f.b.i. employees and other family members making large scale queries that did not distinguish between u.s. persons and foreign intelligence targets and that the f.b.i. has actions were a major violation of the 4th amendment to our constitution that protects the decisions from on reasonable search and seizure these revelations even caught the eye of n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden who tweeted wow the f.b.i. is running warrantless internet surveillance program so flag really unconstitutional that even the secret rubber stamp court that approved 99.967 percent of surveillance requests over 33 years felt they couldn't turn a blind eye my friends when your surveillance scandal runs so deep that you can get .
