most active shooter investigations work with the presumption that this was an act of terrorism. this allows us to take advantage of investigative techniques that can help us more quickly identify and then eliminate any additional potential threats to the rest of our community the gunman was shot dead at the scene by officers he was a saudi military trainee and was at the base to study aviation intelligence officials say the shooter had been based there for 2 years and still unclear how he got the weapons which are not allowed on site the incident happened at the u.s. naval air station pensacola which is located on the florida coast it has 16000 military and over 7000 civilian personnel the facility has many international students who are required to undergo background checks before training or prior

to the deadly shooting a twitter account that allegedly belonged to the saudi air force officer posted anti u.s. messages condemning washington's policies in the middle east the f.b.i. said it is working to confirm the tweets strategic analyst gregory copely thinks the shooting throws a wrench into efforts to boost the u.s. saudi alliance. it's very hard to get into the minds of individuals and i think we're in an at an age where we see people radicalized online to a large extent so that they can turn at any moment clearly this young officer was personally motivated to undertake this anti american act and very hard to stop people problem that kind of allegiance we've even seen as you know in the past some u.s. officers undertake acts of terrorism of the american acts of terrorism within their own military units so this is not surprising it does however actually cause a problem for the saudi government and the u.s.
10:04 pm
government because saudi arabia and united states were busily trying to repair the fences between them because there's been a breakdown in their strategic relationship over the past few months particularly as the saudi government and the u.a.e. government each thought that the u.s. was going to abandon them and do a deal with iran and that caused a big upset with a lot of a lot of saudis who felt that the u.s. was betraying them. from seeing yet another day of demonstrations they spilled over from a one day national strike on thursday one of the biggest in the country in years protesters have been angered at the government's plans to overhaul the pension system. i. know massive demonstrations were held right across the country a day neo must say and nonce also clashes between riot police and protesters one of the largest trade union says 1500000 people watched in support over the interior

ministry claims the figures were home offices used to take up to disperse crowds at the most one of rallies occurring in the french capital challenge to bits he watched the month of. this strike has been planned for many months now and this is against a proposed changes by the french government to the pension system here in france the idea here is that they want to amalgamate number of different systems around 42 different systems into a universal system but people say that i will have a massive impact on their pensions because it will mean that their pensions perhaps could be lower in the future or in fact that they might have to work even longer and that has caused huge fury here in france the crimes go all the way back more than a close to god do nor which is where this process was originally due to start off with what was come for many hours has turned to a huge tensions with clashes between the police and the protest as we saw
10:06 pm
a van that was certain i am on fire and they got tear gas really coming quite close to us and you might get a sense of it just down that you can see there more tear gas come into the protesters shariah and move people away incredible as fame is just beginning and as you can hear you know we're seeing protests is smashing shops in front of us tear gas is bringing down and those crews are battling about battling to half contain this fire they've also been tensions elsewhere in fronts north just here tensions in places like. other cities the suggestion now is that this one take. reich that was initially planned by transport workers and is now encompassed teachers health work is the firefighters and even the police could now start a rolling strike in the lead up to christmas and going on until the new year as the
10:07 pm
strike is attempt to make the french government rethink these pension reforms for the moment here in france people are adamant that they want to have their voices heard this come out to the streets to make sure that's happening. earlier this week nato leaders gathered in the u.k. to celebrate the military alliance the 70th anniversary but it turns out many people in the host country have little knowledge of its relevance. people what they think are the main 3 achievements of late. in terms of achievements know very little i don't know what it's about have no idea any advantage of nato which i honestly don't know anything about i saw the flag seal the day and only my husband recognized what it was poor it's a good question. let me think a little bit. so one probably to be honest i don't have i don't
10:08 pm
have even one leaders who used the occasion to claim that nato is the most successful alliance in history though some of the members disagree as to what the main threats to the block oh they did agree to share its running costs more evenly something the us has long. simon right from political satire showing case you missed it gives no alternative take on the summit. $29.00 nation alliance which makes up the whole of the world's military spending yet still calls itself defensive turn 7 c. congratulations nato leaders are lovely. in london some drinks spread some president trump accused the president of france and anyone michael of being nasty bullied the least popular. video from being laughed at by trudeau micron and even boris johnson has been seen around the world today wouldn't say exactly plain sailing for this nato meeting but here come all the leaders now
10:09 pm
coming in with the. many of the president of somewhere oh yes i know that one i know that one. together last. next to you. leader. that's the least popular turkey this christmas. that happy there. i suppose they are having to listen to this guy's trying to listen to. no one. before the main festivities started a select group of leaders had the tools to meet at the u.s. ambassador's residence wheeled in like kids going to. sound played by the orange one sat on a golden throne i suppose he does pay for nato presence after all something the head of the alliance un stoltenberg knows very well but they gave this critical need with the spine to resist. to get america to pay the bills
10:10 pm
you know i've always thought that being the head of nato must be the least powerful powerful job in the world so despite their recent differences france is a man you mark on did meet trump and he's got to put on a frankly awesome display of man spreading. and passive aggression this is where we . were. ok because i don't know if. you could have something different from the us. thing about this but. the water. and a coke. is not well with nato which has become like any increased 70 year old its waistline has expanded since it's prolly become a bit of a financial burden to the family they can't work out who it is like small the russians the chinese all the middle easterns. or anniversary party was marred by
10:11 pm
protests in the english capital some demonstrators vented their anger against certain attendees while others objected to nato pressuring its members to raise defense spending. america's rick sanchez off his guess about the current purpose of nato and if it really is obsolete as donald trump once put it before changing his mind. you're a diplomat you've had a lot of experience in this field what is it that nato either must do today to stay viable or does do we even need it anymore you know it's a bureaucracy in search of a mission i was right in 2016 when he said it was obsolete and so afraid was the establishment that he meant what he said on the very day he was inaugurated and they tried to ram through the addition of a new country montenegro thankfully they got it through because it turned out they didn't have to worry about trump intentions once he filled his administration with a bunch of bushies and retreads of the heritage foundation they've simply adopted the policies we've had the last few decades and somehow turned into nato as
10:12 pm
obsolete into let's make nato great again we'll just strong on these countries to pay more for their defense against nobody in particular you think they know has in fact outlived its usefulness i thought so in 1990 s. think so today it's been known as a list of from a standpoint of being a naturalized american and having read the founding fathers warning you can't seem to angling alliances i mean what is this but in entangling alliances are all foreign policy did reason nato is being kept around by the foreign policy hawks in washington is not because it's necessary for the actual military operations and nato itself doesn't really contribute a whole hell of a lot there are very few countries with the notable exception i want to say france and turkey but it would put it in as if this is not a good idea for the united states and its very close allies to have an association a military but i would close our eyes that's what i was trying to say france and turkey could theoretically mountie independent military operations everybody else is just a hanger on and they're just window dressing for us military operations but these
10:13 pm
are literally like roman exactly erisa want to do what i've been hearing go bad what word the word of the dysfunction world or what that is what it seems to be a dismissive alliance in 1991 when the soviet union and the warsaw pact would out of business nato should have as well as why didn't they let russia in that mean that literally that time i've read on many occasions boot himself has said why don't you get is that. if you are you're about to get who it was but one of the european european nato has said if we do that the nato would be like the un just a talk shop it could take action by which they meant military action although listen to what you just said if you're saying it doesn't work if we don't have enemies exactly what if we had agreed to air their ability to inflict military force and i dare to say aggression in places like serbia and libya whatever we want to using nato as a plan for what it means could change by the way russia could be s.o.b.'s at one time like the 1950 s. but not so much now. but better why don't you have a system that allows that ability i guess because because whose interest is that
10:14 pm
serving at all these all these are the over these these military companies and these bureaucrats who have the nice small rice balls at the expense of their taxpayers because there's a threat out there is a bear in the woods. it's been a rocky start for some us a presidential election campaigns with several runners already stumbling at the 1st hurdle and dropping out buffet seems the baby yoda character from a star will spin off could be questioned successful candidate if it through its name into the 2020 presidential race according to a recent poll baby yoda is out trending all democratic hopefuls on social media including front runners joe biden and bunny saunders but that's not going to stop the press striving to be called the perfect candidate merde gets the it has the story. in this imperfect world of ours the hooli grail is finding something perfect it is of course impossible but goodness do they really
10:15 pm
try every 4 years in america elections the eternal search for the perfect candidate a smallish chink in their houllier than that our armor is enough to sink him or her and i really mean the smallest chink for example pete booted judge currently ranked 4th in the democrat candidate polls he's a darling a mayor a family guy openly gay and he even has a disabled dog i mean what an angel but then i see he went too far he helped the homeless participated in salvation army charity events and that's a christian organization which is sometimes accused of homophobia you know hard core christians and all apparently race issues aren't the only thing. is slow to grasp what is his excuse for not realizing the salvation army is homophobic hard to
10:16 pm
imagine a more succinct visual metaphor for i will gleefully work for the active destruction of my people if it makes me seem in a yacht or more electable than boots adige shorter within a seriously antique with salvation army these activists are literally accusing an openly gay man of supporting homophobia just just let it sink in as a dropped out of the race yet unlike camelot harris and one of her crimes as a half black half tamil indian woman was that she just wasn't black enough skin pigmentation seems to really really matter for a presidential candidate then you. have bernie sanders spent his life trying to power the poor and for his troubles had the d.n.c. election rigged against him last time around but bernie just doesn't get it
10:17 pm
america doesn't want someone who cares so much for the poor sanders just does not understand that a $15.00 minimum wage will hurt the job market and there's no way we can afford to make education free for everyone and on top of bernie's you know principles and decency he's just ancient. get on much like former vice president and controller see magnet joe biden ease neck deep in just the weirdest stuff even getting really close and taking the night sniff of people's hair now embroiled in ukraine gate he got his little boy a nice cushy job that pays a standing amounts in ukraine the poorest nation in europe and modern civil war to boot i'm sure he couldn't remember all that stuff them ages getting the better of
10:18 pm
him to his memory isn't what it was then we have elizabeth warren who hasn't quite yet figured out who she is in case you missed it she tried to pass yourself off as part native american which was an exaggeration by which i mean it was entirely made up bashing. no one it seems is good enough homosexual whole move up a black woman who isn't black enough an old man that's obsessed with helping the people that need help biden in his head seriously what the hell then again perhaps people wouldn't need pick so much if you know they had something else to talk about if these people had a plan beyond beating trump a clear plan for america and americans but hey maybe not i mean
10:19 pm
seriously. living stuff. popular free dating apps such as tend not to protect in a users from sex offenders on their platforms that's according to a new investigation by american nonprofit organization pro publica the probe took a look at more than 150 instance of sexual assault over the past decade and it found that the majority of victims were women who met their attackers through much group apps in 10 percent of cases they were paired with men who had already been accused of or convicted of sex crimes or much group which owns over 40 of the most popular apps as they do conduct background checks on their members but only for paid accounts further the company says it disputes the investigation's findings the implication that we norberg such offenders on our side and don't fight to keep them off is as outrageous as it is falls as technology evolves we will continue to
10:20 pm
aggressively deploy new tools to eradicate bad actors including users of our free products where we are not able to obtain sufficient and reliable information to make meaningful bank ground checks possible and chad do it more journalist at spectator magazine and resurface in a women's rights advocate gave us their thoughts on dating platforms and their screening policies. the magic group is a $1000000000.00 company there's no reason why they couldn't allocate just a small portion of their revenue to screen the people on their ab just so that there's just a smaller since of increased safety it's a precaution it's a measure but it's deserved if they appear if they're suddenly saying that we want in order to join the service we want to perform background checks on everyone who joins 1st of all that would kill the business and they know it there's a moral responsibility on these companies that are making billions of dollars 1700000000 dollars from women looking for love to say oh you know what it's too
10:21 pm
expensive for us to do a little bit to protect you nobody's going to want to join these apps with these kind of if they're doing that they're being this invasive about background checks with that said people maybe shouldn't be on them especially women and not only are these dangerous for women but it's destroying women so just give up the dating apps if you don't perform your own background checks in your own time with your own money get off we're not going to restrict women from using the internet because there are predators we do desire for these companies to at least take the step into the right direction why do you want to put that kind of power on these monolithic tech companies and up saying you know ban women from dating apps i'm simply saying you should rely on this and you can't trust these companies to tell you who's good and who's bad you need to take that into your own hands so if you meet someone do a background check before you get for you go out on a date if they work in tandem with the courts to get the names at least of the 1st
10:22 pm
and last names in the location of where these people are and perhaps create some type of monitor of their internet that's a step in the right direction it's going to be a mess i think no matter what and there's always going to be people who perhaps squeak through or don't get picked up who then commit assaults and crimes get a gun ladies. protect yourselves and if we don't win and by the way these incidences are obviously extremely rare and you know by and large the vast majority of men are not sexual predators one woman is enough we need the companies to take a moral stance or at least have some sort of responsibility to protect the women that utilize their app and then what happens you know it's it's never going to be a perfect system. moscow has denied it's been unwilling to cooperate with german authorities over an investigation into the murder of a georgian national in both in organists but softer than expelled 2 russian
10:23 pm
diplomats a wednesday claim in the moscow hasn't been forthcoming enough foreign minister sergei lavrov told r.t. it appears moscow will again be blamed for a crime it was never involved in. the federal foreign office today declared to employees of the russian embassy in berlin to be persona non-grata with this step the federal government reacts the fact that the russian or thirty's despite repeated high level and in fact it requests did not sufficiently participate in the investigation of the murder of tony k.k. in berlin zoo. they said we did not cooperate enough this is groundless some countries today recalled the tragedy of m.h. 17 my dutch counterparts and we didn't do enough then we supplied them with all the necessary information with data from our radars and so on we gave them everything where are the satellite images the us promised nobody answered that we asked them what kind of cooperation they want from us they responded by saying you have to
10:24 pm
confess you did it that would be corporative if germany wants to follow suit nothing good will come of it that's not a good way to deal with anyone and with russia in particular. or the murder in question happened in late august in 1 of her limbs parks the 40 year old victim was shot and killed while on his way to a mosque eyewitnesses say a cyclist shot the man in the back of the head and then fled the scene the slain man's ellen can come go surely also known as tanika kay was a georgian citizen who since 2017 had lived in germany as an asylum seeker he had ties to a high profile chechen terrorist group in russia 40 against russian troops and police during the 2nd chechen war the man was wanted by russian authorities on terrorism charges the case was seized on by the controversial beilin cat investigative group which along with the german newspaper dish beagle were quick to point the finger at moscow with allegations that russian authorities had helped the assassin create his fake identity economist taken him and told us the evidence
10:25 pm
presented so far has been inconclusive. you can definitely see that there are certain interests who want to poison the relationship between russia and germany it seems that there is some cleaning out work going on where isis and everything around and this high profile terrorist who might be related to all these happenings in there with isis and syria and so on so i think there can be many more reasons why this was done and who did this apart from russia the problem is that we cannot trust any of those explanations from german governments at all it was already with the script it was with iraq all these so-called big evidences turned out to be just nothing and in this case to make such a big thing like sending 2 people home is without any proven

facebook and google starting with a great idea and great ideals and sports. only there was also a very dark so. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results based on what they think you should be seen if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election besan exist for the more growth we give them the sooner we are all.

retirement done at least a change of course to discuss that i'm now joined by yusuf political analyst for turkey state broadcaster tete a tete world. it's to everyone's good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you now turkey has been a member of nato since 952 it's the 2nd largest military in the alliance it's taken part in many of its operations including the one in libya which triggered the largest migration crisis of did take it with a profound effect on turkey itself as data celebrates its anniversary is it more of a reason for celebration or perhaps contemplation in turkey well i definitely think it's a time for contemplation because nato right now is lacking a strategic vision many of the allies inside nato right now have.
