just one minute past 4 pm here in the russian capital this is our international my name's you know neil hello and welcome to the program we begin in russia is far east where a college shooting has left one person dead and 3 injured a recent development is the security guard on duty at the time has now been arrested on suspicion of negligence well let's actually go through what's know when a 19 year old student smuggled a gun into a construction college where he was studying this by the way what you're seeing is the classroom where the tragedy unfolded you can see clearly investigators of course on the scene the attacker who is described. quiet forced the teacher out of the room before opening fire on his classmates he. turned the gun on himself here's

what witnesses told us shortly after the incident. 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 kept silent for a while and then said get out of here again there's no. he was gone quote 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 with tried to call our children but no one responded and then we received the names in 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 a lot of misleading in our private for you can from asian but according to what the police have said bits and pieces and reports i wouldn't assess them only 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 to. it took a little spill it. didn't produce. the ball he continued shooting after that of the kids you know teenagers in all one person was killed another 3 injured one of them in critical can. addition. the

teacher the teacher scaped and she got help release who arrived on the scene called in paramedics and doctors the injured were taken to hospitals. to 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 to do a classroom and turned the gun on himself committed suicide. the shooter was 19 years old the firearm was licensed he added he had a permit for the firearm so it was neatly obtain. as i see investigation underway now to stop this the details but according to witnesses and some of his classmates

the 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 they're 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 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 encouraged last year there were fortunately many more casualties there. but it always leaves the mark you know the shooting at the school . society's most vulnerable. ok moving on to more world news

bolivia has been hit by a fresh round of violent protests this time from the supporters of former president evil he had 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 bill should demand the expulsion of congress men so come on show from the country you can see the gas cloud behind me this seems to be a members story judging by what is happening now the army is also next to the police including tanks that support them. just going back

a little bit evo morales has fled to mexico along with many office party members and he stepped out on monday after weeks of violence triggered by claims that last month's election victory was rigged well as has described the events as a coup beilenson looting and vandalism followed and some of his supporters now say they're fearing for their life. but they have carried out a coup d'etat against does as of last night we are living like in 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 reese as they persecute us as bolivians those from 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. speaking about some of the indigenous communities that lady well choose the bolivian senator jeanine is the 3rd herself interim president of bolivia and was sworn in by ortiz double quarter picks up the story in. 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 more 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 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 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 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 messam all but acknowledged that ever would win his constitution in january and that there was little point in taking that quick zone think 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 you are saying the military is being overtaken by criminal courts which are destroying 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 make as president of the sanity for the crimes done and 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 is 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 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 wal-mart it's all for but caught on camera brought a locations of a coverup into the spotlight on the heads of ruled as a result daniel hawkins looks now at how a.b.c. other channels of handled 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 clint i mean everything. i have i tried for 3 years to get it on to no avail and now it's all coming out and thinking well of revelations what we had was on real other when in fact you know. yeah i don't 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. it network have been busy doing just that the person calling themselves the whistleblower claims the company has been searching staff e-mails and logs to find the culprit really employees and encouraging them to turn in the snitch instead of addressing this had on 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 i am bagged and pleaded that he didn't know what he had done ron 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 match 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 epstein 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 npr's on the media funded partially with taxpayer dollars hasn't mentioned the story and neither have many others in the days following the scandal there seem to be almost no. mention of the story on m.s.m. b c c.b.s. america's a.b.c. or n.b.c. news it's like it 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 one of the journalists who broke the harvey weinstein story and works at 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 everyone 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. still ahead turkey in the u.s. can't seem to move past key differences despite high level talks in washington we'll look into that a little later in the program. also this thursday forecast looks bleak for the israeli economy in the coming decades on the think tanks pinning the blame on the ultra orthodox.

of the head of isis is decapitated by valerie guys a show. regrouping. not on the him in iraq but in syria to so we have to did with this problem long term. but. so. i. suggest is a call the reverse hunger games then reverse under our randomly pick $10.00 to $15.00 billionaires every year and strip them of everything that's a 0 and course i'm 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 vanity and you have no stake in the game whatsoever. embroiled in decades of conflict israel is no partly facing the threat of economic tamales that is if current demographic trends continue on changed the think tank issued the stark warning ses it's the country's growing ultra-orthodox population the heart of the problem here mideast correspondent paula. israel's survival depends on its ability to deal with external threats right wrong a new study by a news radio think tank suggest cities radiators 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 of culture or the dogs on the whole are not scientists 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 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 ultra orthodox male high school students study subjects like english math and science and with more than one in 3 and educated in 6 or less subjects israel's future economy looks bleak some little chores in the us 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 your student body will be kids who are not study these basic skills and will become unemployed dullards this is a major threat to israel's economy and its israel's future yes graham is that it may look like religious people are not working and they're not providing for their families 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 stigmatized 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. donald trump typer it on the skies 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 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 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 is 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 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 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 relate. and shipped with russia and after washington arrow on is scheduled to have a phone call with russian president vladimir putin something that washington is certainly not pleased 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 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 focus 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 killam up and what we heard from public policy expert brims who says the u.s. is unlikely to make any concessions to turkey on syria. certainly trump is not going to reverse himself in terms of the fact we have seen 2 turkish involvement in jordan syria turkey and stephanie i think that there will be some strong pressure on her long reign in the rebel forces that he's using because those are sort of his fighting proxy militia agents on the ground who are most with

fronts of all forms of. attacks from the start although the pressure is married and i think that trump is going to talk about possibly only follow the increased financial ties business relations between our 2 countries oh but otherwise i don't really 1st see any concrete way in out of this meeting on a busy thursday our website has all the latest developments an in-depth analysis to don't miss a thing this is r t international. the last time i sang caught in a joke because my. point was not every day to be good to see i walked out and seen the last. of the so-called individual is opposing this

very. strong piece of crap take on society and the freedom of the individual. to my hardest to or dashboards to cambodia. donnish. i design human to be was just good. as a letter a clue we keep. so many. things think i need to because he must tell a full scale to make us tell us your face or body has suddenly become one thing my mother but then if it had been

a boss who. said. the monkey can move the whole thing as opposed to how funny thing with the cut this is you got to send them since. the us so you don't know many of the young they have. deiced so much smoke the soup . is still so not a sin in. this

is boom bust broadcasting around the globe and covering the world of business and finance and the impact on us all on those one and i'm christiane washington has a look at what's on deck today just one day after the news of google's controversial partnership with health care federal regulators have launched an investigation our panel weigh in on what the feds might do and a warning of what this new how tech world mean for all of our futures and speaking of the telegram is now firing back at that and has asked the court to dismiss claims that one phone hacking news graham. began to buy telegrams said that he had no ok plus a professor of economics and author richard wolfe is here to talk about the latest stall in the u.s. china trade talks and the problem with the u.s. fiscal policy overseas we've got a lot to get to today so let's get right to it. to get in here with google because just one day after we told you that google has partnered with essential health care the 2nd largest health care provider in the nation to gather and process data on

tunes of millions of americans a u.s. federal regulator has initiated an investigation into this deal so we have now learned that the office for civil rights in the department of health and human services is going to look into the data collection and whether or not it violates hipaa laws and these are federal laws that protect the identity of medical patients and their information again keep in mind essential health care operates 2600 hospitals and hundreds of doctor's offices which means that about 150 google engineers now have access to very specific health information on about a 5th. 1000000 americans across $21.00 states prior to this agreement with google which launched in july of 2018 ascension had its digital records spread across 40 data centers but let's be very clear about this google is not taking over the digitization of medical records google is uploading these tens of millions of individuals records to its cloud computing service and then it's using that in.
