a suspect is arrested after a machete attack on a synagogue in new york state in which 5 people were injured. in the stories that shape the week here in r.t. 12 people are killed after a passenger plane crashes near our matthew kazakstan moments after takeoff dozens more are being treated in hospital and police fired tear gas in the clashes during the 59th weekend if you had a better protest in paris plus the wealthiest us presidential candidate multi-billionaire bloomberg apologizes after his team used prison labor to promote

his election campaign. hello there just call me a day here in moscow you watching the weekly on r.t. international. attack on a synagogue on sas day night in new york state has left 5 people injured 2 of them in a critical condition. incident happened during a new capacity the attacker fled the scene by car before being caught by the police 3 a counterterrorism unit is monitoring the situation and commenting on the incident local assemblymen called it a people trying. to get a lot of. semitism. medicare acts in the area.

completely unacceptable we in the specially during this time of peace we don't understand. what the motivation is for all this is just pure hatred in senseless so we need to do and do whatever we care to provide safety and. provide a safe haven for everyone here the attack follows a spike in hate crimes against the jewish community in the region there have been 7 anti-semitic incidents reported in new york city this week alone and less than a month ago a shooting at a kosher supermarket in jersey city left 4 dead and newsweek columnist says that anti semitism can only be tackled 3 proper education. you can't make every target a hardened target especially in areas like muncie i mean the synagogue that i would used to go to in a suburb also called mamaroneck it's

a ready been 20 years they've had a policeman on. off duty policeman on guard during any time there were services or anything else so jews have been concerned now for a couple of decades look the only way you can fight anti-semitism is education but of course you can try to decrease its effect by having more police patrols by having local patrols by not allowing anyone in without knowing who they are that means having policemen off duty cops in every synagogue it's a big undertaking and it's very difficult in a city like new york with so many so many jewish institutions so many jews who live there it's a real problem there is no easy solution mind you i mean that's part of the problem . investigations are continuing into what caused the passions of plane to crash shortly after takeoff from porting kazakstan killing 12 people dozens were injured in the incident on friday including children these pictures do show the rescue operation investigators are considering 3 possible causes of the tragedy pilot

error a technical malfunction and bad weather the survivor told us what he went 3. felt strong jolt in the left wing literally seconds later the plane began to rock back and. i began to tighten my belt panic and already began the children who started crying when the plane began to go it was clear that would definitely go into the ground and i braced myself for impact then the ceiling caved mergence the door was open we jumped on the wing and began slipping because we helped each other to get down. 3. good. did the mention of dog a beautiful. primaries remind you can be good right now only because if you want to . see. it

is feel. good you know you know what it is it is. good that you did so when you look at there was there were just as a risk all right not to bad as the shows it was a bore at the pentagon you'd say our poor thought he would use it at the price of snake oil see when earlier in the prank i discussed what happened with colin brown . you look at those pictures and we realize what a tragedy it is for kazakstan only a few days before new year's eve but if there is a case in which the words good news could be appropriate after a plane crash this is the one because right now we already understand that the doctors have confirmed that the majority of the people who were on board survived which means that this couldn't have been a nose dive from a high altitude what actually happened was that this back air flight took

call from the airport in almaty which is the biggest city in kazakhstan it was still dark there about 20 minutes past 7 but then quickly started losing altitude then it hit a concrete barrier before crashing into a small building this was just a 2 story building i can tell you that almost like i said it's the biggest city it's a big metropolitan area the airport is not that far from it so there are suburban areas residential areas surrounding the airport so this is apparently where the plane and it up the captain of the aircraft is among the dead what about the plane itself well this is a medium sized twin turbo fan short range regional jet it's called focker 100 it was produced by a dutch company before it went bankrupt up until 1997 but this particular plane was 23 years old so was one of the final ones to be produced by that company and still

the widely operated by 2 major airlines in australia for example as a regional jet by quantas and virgin it's also being operated by an iranian airline and back air this was actually the only type of aircraft that they have and while this is a big company in kazakstan it is the 2nd most popular domestic airline that the people use there for domestic flights so the onus now on the. as i call for it is of course to establish exactly what happened what they done so far clearly grounded all flights by that type of aircraft and like i said just because its fleet only consists of this particular aircraft now they're out of operation for how long right now we don't know many people are still in critical condition so the doctors are fighting for their lives the president promised that those responsible for the crash will definitely be punished i can tell you that this particular airline was

going through some financial difficulties lately but previous the no incidents with its aircraft had led to any kind of fatalities geoffrey thomas from airline writing's dot com gave us his thoughts on what might have gone wrong. early indications point to 2 possible causes one is that as we can see snow sleet snow everywhere it was very very cold icing conditions and it may well have been that the plane was not correctly diarra still not do ya asked at all and if there's a build up of ice on the wing as soon as the plane takes off you're going to have a situation where you get the lift over the top of the wing the air over the top of the wing is disturbed therefore you lose lift and the plane or you reach now 2 to 40 feet and then crash back to earth. and the other thing we but there's a possibility there was an engine problem we know the aircraft reached takeoff

speed of about 175 miles an hour and then quickly let's speak quickly to within a 2nd or 2 of takeoff back to 148 and that's when all the data was lost. so possible engine problem possible icing problem on the wings. well on saturday yellow vest demonstrators gathered in paris for a 50 night weekend of protest they were joined by days condemning the government's pension reform plans reporting from the capitol shelagh school. well it's the 59th week of protests by the jle asian ones out every saturday to show their discontentment with the french government and what they see as being policies for the richer they gauge the poor they've also been joined by a protest of those i came to the pension reforms at the moment in france these the reforms that the french government is trying to put through some reforms that would

see some food chichi different pension systems joining down into one universal system so to give you a sense of the crimes that we've got here you might be able to see i simply ghana's and this protest crowd heading back towards god to norwich is about a kilometer away they are in fact also in front of vs well so far this is being a generally calm protest but as you can see some of the protesters are trying to pull down some of the barriers that are there for the rude works of it going on in this area it seems like the tensions are starting to rise now here in paris as act $59.00 is underway we're being told not to feel much to show what's going on. a pretty serious series as you can see my camera is being a crash that still has the look. out

for this one of the books. for. the bulletin people just trying to do our jobs in paris here by showing what's going on with the protests as you probably can see from the end of that footage where cameraman was attacked when we tried to stop the attack us from talking in the camera and that she smacked me across the face this is the kind of reaction you get from so. of what people described as being the block blocks just literally walking me smack course both sides of my face because i was trying to explain to him that we're doing our job and to stop trying to harass my cameraman and attempting to break the camera as you can see the police going to was that fire that has been lit by the protest since you can see things very throughout the place by some of the protesters now as they try and get closer this is the area where we were trying to film earlier and were attacked during so by some of those mosques protest as you can feel the tension rising in the end now of

this 59th week of the yellow vests protests and of course joined by those on protest against the changes to the pension system bringing brought food by the french government as you can see that far been said to some of the the roadworks taking place and it looks like they've been able to get some rubbish to put on top of that police now putting that out very quickly and trying to secure the area as the protest is still around the tear gas now just purses the police trying to control those crowds you could see there were bottles they look like last vocals being thrown into the base you can still see some things being thrown into the air and not tear gas now that cloud coming pushing us away in a mechanism again for trying to control the protests picking at this is already it's coming quite close to say really need to move forward a bit faster if we possibly can just to try and get away from that particular now dispersed by the police in attempts to control the crowds here close to shuttle

a in the center of paris just give you a sense of where shuttle is it's just across the water from. that famous cathedral here in paris the police there trying to move themselves away at that tear gas unusual to see the police crying from the tear gas. perhaps nice to see for me that i'm not the only person who is impacted by the gas. challenge pinsky there reporting on the protests in paris yesterday now the u.s. democratic presidential candidate michael bloomberg has apologized after his campaign used the prison labor to promote his election message female inmates were employed to call up voters although bloomberg himself denies he knew what was happening we only learned about this when the reporter called us which as soon as we discovered which friend a subcontractor had done this we immediately ended our relationship with the

company and the people who hired them imagine being so rich you have people who have people who have prisoners to do stuff for you. being so rich you don't even bother to chair what you are spending really ends of dollars on. rita reading we sad indeed when we learn a vendor of a vendor of a vendor use prison labor we did know about it and we never would have allowed it we don't believe in this practice and we immediately stop working with pro com and the people who hired them so how do you do it pay someone to pay someone to tell them might bloomberg is a big spender he was last to do in the presidential race and he has already outspent all the other democratic candidates on campaign advertising i mean the guy has so much money he doesn't seem to have the time to check what he spent a good dog but they his credit michael bloomberg did promise america more work

just to. get it. for president jobs creator. right america more jobs even if you don't particularly want them what makes it much much worse is that many of the prisons in the states a private run for profit and there are laws that force people to work so if you are in a jail and you are told to work you have to well you'll be punished sometimes they pay you as much as $20.00 a month that's right $20.00 a month now here's the irony mike bloomberg billionaire one of the richest people in america was essentially paying for what is a slave labor to cool people apparently tell them that he's a good guy wait the bloomberg is he was paying someone to pay someone to tell everyone what

a good guy he is trump says he wants to run the nation like he's running is business god help us. everybody says stuff that comes back to bite them but when billionaires do it it's generally an order of magnitude. it gets. worse the further you dig when he launched his campaign his media bloomberg news sent out a letter to thousands of its journalists pledging to uphold its principle of not investigating its own or this is the sort of person mike is mike bloomberg started as a middle class kid to work his way through college and built a business from a single room to a global entity creating tens of thousands of could paying jobs along the way there he could've he probably should've but he didn't let me continue he became richer year after year he made billions selling bank is ludicrously priced tried and still gadgets the same bankers who threw under the old greed set off the 2008 financial

crash depriving tens of millions of people of homes of life savings and jobs vote michael bloomberg for president. despite pretty fast wealth is not a particularly strong candid. i really shouldn't be acceptable for anybody liberal or conservative to use prison labor it's forced labor bloomberg is a multibillionaire he's worth like $54000000000.00 he's made his money by you know not paying attention to things like that. he's not concerned about the little guy. which i guess becomes you know if you're if you're supposedly a democrat you're concerned about the. enormous a packer see it a big problem i think it's going to hurt him a lot i don't know where people get the idea that bloomberg is the great savior for

democrats in the race in the race to get struck he has almost no poll support all he has is money. billionaires have not traditionally done that well running for office it's. you know you got to have money to run for president but when you have that much money i think that most people are pretty suspicious of your motives in running for office. and we're back with more stories from the week just after the break.

wow yalit 2020 should be a whopper. again

you're watching the weekly now there has been a sharp increase in a weapons sales to saudi arabia over the last 5 years that's despite london signing up to a treaty to prevent exports to rights abuses oxfam which calculated the rice says it is deeply concerned about the way the weapons have been used in the conflict in yemen well according to the charity the u.k. has license sales worth nearly 6 and a half 1000000000 pounds to 8 members of the saudi coalition in the last 5 years that's more than in the 5 years before it signed the treaty a treaty that more than 100 countries have signed up to well it does regulate the arms trade in order to prevent human suffering british government was also keen to stress to its importance when it signed up. the a.t.t. is the only legally binding treaty regulating and promoting legitimate responsible trading conventional arms he remains

a unique and valuable instrument when the arms trade treaty came into effect the u.k. with a real champion of that treaty unfortunately sales to countries that are at war with in yemen are party to not war in yemen actually increased and i think this is the signal that you're yemen world's worst humanitarian crisis right now and the u.k. and far from kind of living up to the treaty n and the word is that treaty has has continued to so the countries involved in a conflict where we know international tammy know is has been disregarded. with pressure mounting the u.k. has now had to suspend the sale of weapons to saudi arabia in june the court of appeal said that they were no lawful of a government expected to appeal the decision the supreme court saudi arabia's intervention in yemen began in 2015 to fight the rebels who they say the terrorists

however it is the level of civilian casualties that's become a major cause of concern. ruth tanner again says that there is clear evidence that riyadh has committed human rights violations in yemen. the evidence is really i have a well meaning and that there's been consistent violations of international law

and and as you say the case was really clear. that the government needed to you know if it was going to continue to license weapons had to be clear about that there was a pattern of violation and that violation was clear so i find that height that system will be a pal and i think it's. you know very sad that the government have to have try and chosen to appeal this decision and wish to continue to sell weapons that have been used in a war that is causing untold poverty and homme and destruction fed the people of yemen. going on at the moment ukraine and the self-proclaimed people's republic of donetsk and lugansk in the east of the country have initiated a prisoner exchange these are live pictures we're receiving via seeing is overlooking the exchange is part of a deal brokered during peace talks in paris earlier this month the presidents of

russia and ukraine led those talks and it is the 1st prisoner swap between kiev and the rest of east ukrainian regions in 2 years and these are live pictures we're looking at of the prisoner swap which is ongoing as we speak. and that is the way keith and i were back again at the top of the. the i'm a girl is like the child in the room it's impulsivity it's narcissism it's us versus them it's fear the prefrontal cortex is empathy it's compassion it's thinking about the future in terms of what we do today that's where we need to make our decisions based from from the prefrontal cortex unfortunately when we eat the

modern diet of our planet or when we watch the news or we spend too much time online we lock in to be a make believe we've walked in to the child in the room and we're not able to make good decisions. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military. every song came to a complete. the day that i was very strong. you know told a short while to kill me and i see how would destroy. any screamed at me and he made me come in and you grab my own arm and he raped me with his birthing if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen

women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished than the offender and almost 10 year career which shows very invested in and i gave the sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. oh you know it is business what we know about how it is now because it looks. you know not you know.

people who boast because. i did not because. i would love to have done it because. i did not sit down it's because of me how can i announce him down because he meets me how can i do that because he needs to be popular and i wasn't down because it beats. yeah. i know i'm kind of i think. i don't. this is a story from going about people who just enough to ready. my name response. i'm no longer social media mr jackson. seems to
