3:02 pm
was. was in terms of those attacked one of the victims remains in the life threatening condition london metropolitan police say they are treating the incident as an islamist inspired terror attack it is believed the suspect grabbed the knife from a shop before carrying out the frenzied assault the perpetrator had reportedly been under police surveillance for some time british prime minister boris johnson has lengthy emergency services for responding to be incident and house expressed sympathy to those injured witnesses described what they saw. ridiculous and said it was just like us to find a school. bus going to. stick it all came down all the men. nobody. around to do. it again i'd like to show.
3:03 pm
that it was i don't. want the guy laying on the floor but definitely the road to obscene and a police a plane that police uniform has and walk to the body and this is where they realize in the got some town it. and this where they came to us they said you have to leave and you they create an entire street and a human did you leave the area i left the area. chris phillips former head of the u.k.'s national counterterrorism security office joins us live good to see you chris formerly video on social media the police response seems to have been swift and there are reports the attacker was armed or surveillance putting the together was this attack expected well clearly the. surveilling. terrorists believed that he was likely to do something today but i probably didn't realize exactly what he was up to. it appears that some kind of incident happened
3:04 pm
near by whether or not a truck stop that milly's escaped all that will become clear soon but clearly he went absolutely to earth to try and kill people or certainly do something really bad with these canisters on the on his chest he wasn't there for fun so the surveillance officers and if this is a balance is that she had to deal with it in. their own does wellesley they expected him to be armed and they had to deal with a threat that they saw that's the point like why do you think the police were so sure so soon it was terribly bad there are frequently stoppings and in london in this particular area as well isn't there in stratham link to not link to terrorism excuse me. yes trip to me is not an area you would necessarily expect to be on terrorism but they do so there has been a number of that b. was recently in and around that area but this is something different the surveillance officers were obviously behind this man they obviously believe that he
3:05 pm
was he was the 2nd some state to be following someone around on a sunday afternoon is absolutely normal and when they saw we react they reacted swiftly as well and this speed of what they were able to do shows that they must have been close to him and able to. put him to death very quickly because that you can't you can't deal with kid gloves with someone that has things to them and is trying to stop to you know for a long ago it was confirmed as being islamist terror related does not alter the investigation if had all chris to what the police would have been looking at well no because they were clearly behind this and they will know who he is where he's come from almost certainly an awful lot about it and they don't just bring out that name then she should not have been arrested earlier well that that's one of the questions that people will ask that of caylee i mean that my understanding is the
3:06 pm
adult would not have shown that you have a device of some sort under it so you couldn't necessarily or you wouldn't have known so they have to follow him until they think he's right and at that point it appears that they've dealt with it very well albeit luckily it only takes a 2nd to stab someone so so there are terrible victims in this and we feel for them even the police have a very difficult job to do yet the focus will be on other suspected terrorists or related to islamist crimes like that that night because this person has been neutralized that there's going to be you know more of a crock we're going to see more policing units being put out there. well i see we don't have more police in utah so i think it will become clear as to whether this person has been released from prison where there he has come back from syria. so that way world will know more about him and why he was considered a real threat and that will be the time when perhaps it will justice system again
3:07 pm
will be held as. because the chances are that this person is very well known. been convicted and been in trouble with the police for these little things and that's why they knew so much about ok chris thanks for your time this sunday chris fellas former head of the u.k.'s national counterterrorism security office life in the program. the true administration's long awaited middle east peace plan was released on tuesday provoking a firestorm of criticism the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas described it as a humiliating proposal which fails to respect the basic rights of palestinians. my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security today israel has
3:08 pm
taken a giant step toward peace it's a great plan proves wrong it's a great plan for peace frankly mr president given all that you've already done through israel. i'm not surprised. dear friends we heard a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu to cuba would lead to the deal of the century would we describe it as the slap of the century we will say a 1000 times no to this proposal. mood. of a vote he will allow us to spend all ties with the united states and israel the release of the plan triggered protests in parts of the west bank with militants in the gaza strip firing rockets and mortar rounds on israel scores of demonstrators also burned tires to voice their anger at the u.s. proposal. administration's recognition of jerusalem as israel's on the vita capital is the 1st nonstarter for the palestinians who want east jerusalem to be their
3:09 pm
future capital israel would also control palestine's borders their skies and the flow of goods in and out of it the fledgling states would not be allowed its own military and israel would have the right to carry out security operations there palestine would also be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without prior israeli approval but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package the state of palestine would consist of a punch work of areas in the west bank and gaza that are currently cut off from one another let's go through that there would according to the plot be connected by road tunnels and also bridges which are these parts here now most of those have yet to be built and under the proposed deal the palestinian state would be given a capital in abu dis not an our neighborhood on the outskirts of east jerusalem holistically or spoke with some of the residents there. this doesn't look exactly like a capital city and yet its hero in the village of abu dis on the outskirts of east
3:10 pm
jerusalem that the american president wants the future capital of a palestinian state to be now not only has the issue divided israelis and palestinians but as you can see by the security barrier it's also divided palestinians from palestinians so on this side you have some of east jerusalem on the other side you have the rest of it and it's anyone's guess how a city like this well if a function as a capital. structure to have b.o.'s our capital of palestine. or the people who are is just. a start everybody think it's. you know it's. one of the village in the town and we believe a 07 is a capital this is the parliament building here in abu dis now it's closed and it doesn't look like much but this is where presumably a future parliament will function from when trump says that this is a win win situation for both palestinians and israelis well it seems he's being
3:11 pm
cynical at best about acing and be able to want to make peace but they have to give us what they give israel you know the fear he doesn't give anything to us he just. doesn't give us from us most of what they have to hear our voice. i think this will lead everybody to the good to think and to conflict together say what we want to hear and the people here so want be uprising here don't be upset that key to the city of abu dis but when inhabitants here themselves are pessimistic as to the promise that it unlocks it's hard to understand why president trump is putting so much faith in it. r.t. . all rights groups as well have expressed serious concern over many of washington's proposals. the oval office there because 'd that has been a walk we'll see a display as that is going to enable. and able to actually act it's
3:12 pm
a landstuhl annex more which is biased getting an education and to. thousands of palestinians i mean it's a shoe it's. is on violation of international law and to be american administration is saying that's ok we've got to go ahead and that's that's the major roads out of this that is completely one sided well if the palestinian voice what it's about is going to stand where. this is being because without going to that one side it might add obviously the israeli government to that it's up to try it's going to be able to work with us that is on a day to day basis we see the guy in the office going to nation and out of an equality and injustice that they have been ruined historically and they are wrong on a day to day basis but the united states already declared war on the international criminal court over its investigation to afghanistan its examination of the situation in palestine its put all these conditions you know to.
3:13 pm
save the negotiations that are clearly meant as has all their actions over the past 3 years meant to produce a palestinian rejection that would pave the way for israeli fixation that the reality here is the united states national criminal court plays a critical role quite literally as a court of last resort in a case like israel palestine where there has been impunity where israel has not held virtually anyone of significance to account for serious human rights abuses over decades and the policies have been the same. the u.k. has funnily but it's for a well to the european union bringing to an end almost half a century in the block extended period of all people following the historic referendum back in 2060. and britain's new beginnings are not without its own certainty quarter.
3:14 pm
no it's not a late new year celebration it's the u.k. setting sail from the e.u. after 47 years of being docked they're going to wave goodbye i will look forward in the future so working with you pays to chandra's you in your seats put your flags away you know anything a conflicted brussels bids them farewell you will be missed especially by european bureaucrats when it comes to london's money going into their coffers on the other hand westminster has been such a nuisance lately it could be just goodbye and good riddance almost half a century of the united kingdom's membership in the european union is over we want to have the best possible relationship with the united kingdom but it will
3:15 pm
never be as good as membership that could mean after the 11 months transitional period the u.k. finds itself in rough waters stranded at sea with no trade agreements unless something can be ironed out before 2021 when they'll be alone months we will not be a rule to go we will not be in the single markets and we will not be in the customs union and we will do this by the end of the year so how are things going aboard britain's flagship well half the crew is celebrating they're free to sail wherever they want finally the country actually got together got on here and started now after we drove through your book you want to write a review because. i'm very excited for our future sovereign so you were very to make our own decisions i wrote those controlled i write migration policy. very patriotic it's a real joy and the captain's ready to steer them to a brighter future stores in the end but the beginning of the e.u.
3:16 pm
has evolved over 50 is unit direction suits this country but the other half is sea sick and predicting a doomed voyage for people to realize that if. we would because of that it's good if you try to be very productive. similar to what we have. dogs we will be worse off but see the u.k. . it's just really are is that some are even considering mutiny so angry they might abandon ship should the u.k. government continue to deny scotland's right to choose we may reach the point where this issue does have to be tasty i am not ruling that we must focus firmly on building and winning the political piece for independence persuaded to climb aboard with concessions northern ireland is watching events closely while naysayers
3:17 pm
have dared to suggest the captain is ready to surrender british sovereignty into washington's hands the signs are that this government is prepared to sacrifice our country's interests and values for short term political advantage on ascent i'll try to deal with john will trump. was foreign secretary he embarrassed this country and his prime minister he shows every sign of being prepared to sell itself when and if the u.k. find safe shore sometime somewhere it might be without the treasure it was once promised unless boris johnson finds his sea legs quickly x. marks the spot for brags that booty oil so heard from a former deputy mayor of london roger evans and international bar assert julian mullins on what might lie ahead for post breaks in britain. disentangling ourselves from the european union will be a long and time consuming problem because when the european
3:18 pm
union issued regulations they had direct effect and instead of just letting them be regulations in order to describe how much we were ruled by the commercial we enacted those regulations of a bait and as acts of parliament and the consequence of that is that we're the poor parliamentary console is going to for over the coming months and years as have to review dozens of statutes in order to change the law because if they don't it remains the law of the united kingdom because we've already got a relationship with the you a lot of the material is in place here already so it's not like we're starting from scratch in the same way that the trade deal the e.u. did with canada was and there's quite a lot of the regulations and mechanisms in place for deals around the world already i would anticipate that we probably won't want to change quite
3:19 pm
a lot of it actually we have to as my old boss the prime minister was saying look forward bring the country back together and work on making this a success over the next year in the us to come. so mccallum as fears grow globally over the corona virus outbreak there is a reported spike in discrimination against people who are not so. the world is driven by a dream shaped. thinks
3:20 pm
. we dare to ask. you know world big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to the program the corona virus outbreak has now claimed its 1st
3:21 pm
victim side of china chinese national in the philippines on thursday the world health organization declared an international health emergency but made a point of commending china's efforts to combat the spread of the disease. and this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in china on the contrary w.h.o. continues to have a confidence in china's come. to control the outbreak. well the world health organization also stressed the country should avoid stigmatizing chinese nationals over the virus r t z which i love has been looking into that aspect of the crisis borders on lockdown zombie like scenes of quarantine cities the world is united in trying to concoct a healing sero virus which has infected hundreds in china has now reached the united states villages have started to physically block themselves off from the

capital and need cases have been confirmed around the world including germany and japan. in the contest of deadliest bugs the new coronavirus doesn't even come close to the or old familiar flu but tables turn dramatically when it comes to the ability to strike fear in the masses and this fear is also bringing out the racist in some people with the chinese diaspora in canada among those at the receiving end our friend of mine has told the baby other day she dropped on her daughter and her daughter was just having a bad day she's 3 years old and. the daycare teacher kept saying if she said is she ok and she kept having to justify herself and say no we haven't travelled or we've
3:23 pm
been bad or a certain amount of time i had one friend a colleague of hers went around to everybody who was asian in her office and says are you trying to lose our usual china are you chinese has become a frequent question faced by canadians of asian descent chinese school students whose parents have recently visited china have been urged to stay at home for a while in france a local newspaper published this on its front page headlines saying yellow alert and yellow peril and the internet. did what it does best made everything worse if we could all agree not to read this things like the coronavirus in china wouldn't happen just see it kicked the virus will die soon because it's made in china.
3:24 pm
i just bought a mask to protect myself from this corona virus but it's made in china so am i playing myself. when it disgustingly ironic that people are being racist towards asian people as they get in the coronavirus and back in the colonial era white people literally the illnesses the country and killed thousands of indigenous people online jokes and puns adding to the mocking of the chinese cultural habits but the asian communities fighting back with a hash tag i am not a virus we're already experiencing subtle forms of backlash people not taking our class people's everyday away from us it's 2020 what we should hope that our children won't have to deal with the same things that we had to deal with growing up and that really is the biggest concern and schools for self quarantine are being . sounded all over the world by ordinary citizens and authorities alike such tactics against the virus have been made into
3:25 pm
a trend by big governments who have cut ties with china and by beijing itself which however says that the isolation measures are a necessary evil to stop the new disease in its tracks the purpose of the government is to put 2 lives and health of the people at the top of all priorities therefore i have been personally directing and deploying the epidemic prevention and containment work this time now it seems it's a matter of whichever comes 1st either the virus all the hype around it has to stop but who knows whether the outbreak of racism will also be halted the reality is that the flu killed a lot more people people are comparing this to the sars outbreak sars killed 44 people in this country 41 people in my city alone the city of toronto are hit by cars last year. you know so the risk is much higher on the day to day life things
3:26 pm
3500 people in canada die from the flu 70800 people a year die from air pollution so there are certainly rest that are much much higher that because we see them on the day to day window internalize those as risk right now and all of canada there have been 3 confirmed cases are a crowded virus the odds of someone actually catching it are very very low and i think it's just fear based it's something that's unknown it's in the media there's a media frenzy so people have just reacted in a very illogical manner. protests continue to grip france this week on tuesday saw as ins of firefighters were already in part this and yet again the situation descended into violent clashes with police.
3:27 pm
say oh. it's a risky profession and they want to be recognized just like the police just give you a sense of what's going on here in paris with the firefighters to come from across france to try and get their food he says her it's up by the government they say that they likely need a massive recruitment troy's they need assistance because they say that the number of whole lives they receiving is increasing every year and they don't have the stuff to cover it why are we protesting for 7 months because we've had no response from the administration or from the government there are 2 problems firstly our work involves a high level of risk and this should be factored in. securing 2010 to 28. firefighters have faced an increase in the number of verbal and physical attacks
3:28 pm
against them our police colleagues get more because of the greater risk they face and we're demanding an increase also. we are facing a shortage of personnel that's partly because departments are having their budgets slashed. so in terms of attacks on firefighters there are no specific figures just for them but there are figures for all emergency crews that's firefighters police officers and ambulance workers back in august of last year those attacks are said to reached a record high with many people claiming that there is a problem luring firefighters with the police into a situation and then attacking them in fact there were some 110 assaults or tax being recorded every single day you throughout the year those attacks reached over $23000.00 so that some of the reasons why the firefighters say that they deserve to have a risk premium just like the police are paid they're out on the streets again in
