a very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron and our top story a manhunt is underway in thailand for a soldier who went on a shooting rampage killing at least 21 people and injuring many more the past couple of hours the gunman was surrounded by security forces in a shopping mall carpark in the city of cora's but he managed to flee the scene killing one serviceman in the process according to local reports all civilians have been evacuated from the building people nearby have reported the sound of explosions the massacre started on late sunday afternoon the sergeant fatally shot his commanding officer at a military barracks before storming the shopping center opening fire on bystanders whose motives are not it's known at this stage the gunman's live streamed the shooting on social media and those videos were widely shared it will be taken down well that the this is the moment terrified shoppers managed to escape.

but the morning that. he was scared and ran to the tour this to hide the gym trainer told us to hide so we all went in i heard gunshots trying to stay calm and the authorities will come and help you stay calm. i'm worried about you very much i'm outside the fortune building and i'm giving information to the authorities. ok try to save your phone battery ok and take pictures and post them on facebook. well this is what we know about the gunman so far he's been identified as a sergeant major in the thai army after killing an officer he stole military equipment and a vehicle the gunman then opened fire at several locations including

a buddhist temple and ended up in the shopping mall political commentator andre walczak gave us some context. thailand has one of the all very high homo site trades it has hired a home per capita than the united states and lately there is a huge don't show there is a social densher in thailand the income disparity is tremendous price is sort of very high tide bought. realistically high as well which makes it very difficult for both ends of millions of ties to actually sort of vibe and so this very common now to see that under the surface of the politeness and the smiles of there is a lot of anger and frustration and so many think and the bigger the only thing going through a good reaction from from the people. here to be able to talk about the

about the soldier or both. you know a person who has access to guns so this is. dangerous. cocktail if you wish. the final result from the iowa democratic primaries still remains unclear despite all the result being in party officials have spent the week trying to verify the long delayed figures following a technical glitch and many are questioning how the chaos was allowed to happen much to the amusement of donald trump the democrats don't know what the hell they're doing i. am taking care of simple votes but they want to fix your health care system. and questions of race over any election results in the u.s. they're thin followed by pledges it will be thought and quickly if caleb maupin explains when it happens in other countries washington's reaction can be very

different. often the way we interpret events can be very subjective if something happens to someone else we see it one way but it happens to us we see it very differently let's compare the electoral confusion in bolivia last october to the electoral confusion in the us state of iowa last week and both situations and election took place and the results were delayed and then authorities said that some irregularities have happened throughout the collection of records over results the i would democratic party identified in consistencies in the data and used the redundant paper records to probably correct those errors there was intentional manipulation and serious irregularities the make it impossible to validate the results originally issued by the bolivian electoral dorsey's in both instances the public spoke up and cried foul folks i don't know what is going on with the iowa democratic party and the slow trickle of results how many of the counties are

having their results foolishly reported by the i.d.p. every county needs to release the results now the iowa caucus was rigged by mayor cheap eat pasta don't. you. and in both instances the authorities agreed and said that the concerns had to be addressed what happened in iowa was unacceptable and the party chair as acknowledged that he's apologized for that and we have worked together over the last few days to fix the challenges and to see the i have decided 1st to replace every member of the supremum like total tribunal and 2nd to hold national elections to allow the bolivian people to democratically elect a new government with a new political activists except the similarities stop here in iowa a recount is being conducted to make sure the ultimate results are correct and in bolivia the military toppled the government and a woman who wasn't even

a candidate in the election has declared herself to be the new leader. i see in the presidency with the middle of the fact in line with the constitution and pres to take all measures necessary to bring peace to the country. while many have declared what happened in bolivia to be a military coup the us secretary of state branded it as a transition to democracy we recognize the importance of believe us political transition to democracy in our hemisphere and we had mire the believe in people for standing up for their constitution their democracy and for free fair and transparent elections after morale is flat things have been pretty messy in bolivia and that's why my resigning so that my opponents do not continue to persecute more socialist brothers. i'm wondering if the organization of american states as they were said in an

election i want you to figure out what's what's going on where you know it's clear that in the case of bolivia you need a clean of the electoral discrepancies to justify a campaign to demonize our list and then ultimately to overthrow him the reason why they are against us is stop them just because he pursued policies that were projecting us domination of the region so the difference is that in the case of in the case of iwo the presumption is it's just a technical problem or you know there's nothing sinister going on whereas in the case of the government that's all sided with washington and also i was on or why it's a different standard so if a u.s. state has an electoral confusion we'll look into the matter and get it straightened out however if a socialist government that is friendly to russia and china has

a mix up at the polls it's time to reduce the country to care. kaleb happen r.t. new york. the president of the philippines has threatened to rip up a long standing military pact with the us has lost the washington council to tourist visa issued to one of his close political allies over an anti drug crank down which we go to the us to reconsider. see a bottle. be a new lover go on the move and watering your this is the 1st time. i mean you're not. you know. why are you better than me may be breezes visiting forces agreement. also employ a full time inner. circle visiting forces agreement has been in place since

999 that allows us troops to take part in joint training exercises in the philippines foreign affairs analyst richard hadari and gave us his views on the dispute. here is the president that very day is really angry at the united states not only because of the travel ban or visa restrictions imposed on. allies but there are concerns that the united states might actually move forward with priest and other kinds of sanctions against the president himself down the road especially when he's out the power he's going to step down for anybody to so i think there was some complacency on the part of united states if they ease indeed taken out that means the end of significant amount of american military developments which amount to $1800000000.00 over the past 2 decades and it's going to make it very difficult for them arrogance or gratian allies because they'll be a base the software that allows for the operationalization of the hardware of the bilateral lines and if i could. tell you kay has refused to

extradite a couple accused of arranging the murder of their adopted son and india shani at woodstock's to have the story. the old saying goes that no one is above the law but it seems that some people aren't subject to either a british couple adopted an 11 year old often boy in india and promised him a better life but now they're charged with the ranging his matter all for a lump sum of life insurance payout ringback. ending place of him battling for over till you get sick at the hands of the couple but to no avail and now british high court judges have ruled they caught the extradited but not because the evidence against them isn't strong enough. i find there is circumstantial primer for a she case that ms dear mr

a jogger acting together and with others committed their fences. despite all this the u.k. won't send that you are back why well because of one crucial piece of indian at a station that means the packet face a sentence of life without parole if convicted of double murder in the country which the united kingdom says would breach the human rights i find that there are substantial grounds for believing that they would face a real risk of been subjected to treatment like a review of a life sentence which would be inhuman and degrading this would be a breach of article 3 the court's decision falls within the european convention on human rights but the ruling is raising concerns here in britain do we really want suspected child killers roaming the streets of london this is an absolutely crime and i think many people would agree there needs to be the harshest of sentences if they are found guilty it is up to the indian legal system to decide on the appropriate penalty and we should not be standing in the way of justice being served for the victims but the decision to keep criminals here in the u.k.

raises alarm bells as the concept of human rights even for those abusing them seems to provide a quick get out of jail free card the fact is here justice has been denied to the indian people the process of a trial has been prevented because of the european human rights legislation when we're saying that they can't even stand trial because the possibility that they will receive what is called an irreducible life sentence in india means that the possible sentence violates their human rights what the british government is saying is that there is no assurance in place that these 2 people will not be treated in the same way as they would have been had they been arrested in india what we are saying to the indian government until they could draw to authorities is that your criminal justice system simply isn't good enough to try our citizens who was an incredibly serious offense indian people cannot hold people to account under the terms of the justice system without the european and british courts. so your justice isn't isn't good enough i think these cases show is that actually what it does is it creates

a difference in treatment between european citizens and the rest of the world. french regulators have issued apple with a $25000000.00 euro fine for deliberately slowing down older versions of the i phone the country's competition and fraud watchdog ses i phone users were not informed that installing updates would lead to a slower device it also ruled out paul was guilty of misleading commercial practice by capping the performance of older models whose aging batteries couldn't handle 30 years in energy use apple has admitted to failing to inform customers they should simply replace their battery is that of buying a new device that although apple has agreed to pay the fine it claims it wasn't trying to make people upgrade to new phones while we now know in black and white apple business model got halfway through the story and my phone died i'd love to see that prime passed on to consumers i refurbished my battery

last year which means 0 difference to performance outrageous technology experts build me a believes our poll will be more concerned by the bad p.r. than the fine. i think the main damage to apple in this particular instance was a damage to its reputation when this story 1st came out back in 2017 and there was a that hurt apple fall ball going to find that is equivalent to only about 55 billions of revenue for the for these fines are not actually going to make a great deal of difference what we need to do is to ensure that there are laws put in place such as the right sort of laws are coming through that help people who actually have to upgrade their phones have to replace components and hopefully that will mean at the end of the day we're all getting better value i would like to see the battery prices going down i'd like to see it would. but this is a complex of markets and in our jobs that royce and people willing to break then

that's the state of the market. a court trial is ongoing in spain against a private security firm accused of spying on wiki leaks founder julian assange is a spanish judge brought the case against you see global claims the spanish firm installed cameras and microphones in the ecuadorian embassy in london while he was living there they last year as thousands testified in court via video link up from the prison where he's being held in the u.k. . we heard from a lawyer for the wiki leaks founder who has been attending the herring's he came to the spanish company illegally shared confidential data but the cia. existed only when there was a large amount of evidence related to the word global company carried out while providing security services could or an embassy the company's e-mails indicate priority goals including mr songes lawyers doctors and diplomats

themselves there's also evidence that they gave the gathered information to u.s. intelligence these are hundreds if not thousands of images of. documents on the visits of mr soto's visas entry and exit stamps they also installed bugs inside the embassy one of them was placed on a fire extinguisher in the meeting room this listening device recorded many hours of missed sunday's meetings to reinforce the case mr suspected that they were spying on him and started holding his meetings at the back of the building in the female restroom as soon as they discovered it they installed the 2nd microphones there. julian a song she was arrested after walking out of the ecuadorian embassy in london last april now faces extradition to the u.s. on espionage and hacking charges those allegations centered on the publication by wiki leaks of thousands of classified military files in 2010 including this

incriminating video of american troops in iraq now if convicted assad could get a present term up to 175 years the final stage of his extradition trial has been pushed back to may meanwhile a santa remains in belmarsh prison assad was only recently moved from solitary confinement after they were paid to the appeals by his legal team citing poor health he still faces tight restrictions on visitors while his lawyers say they've also found it difficult to meet their clients in an open letter last month dozens of leading medical experts warned the u.k. government that the wiki leaks co-founder could die in prison we discussed the issue with his lawyer. so instead on in this prison he's been kept in very severe conditions during the day he spends little time outside his cell he is practically in isolation all this worsened his state of health recently the un special rapporteur on top judge mr mills meltzer visited mr sands with

a team of doctors and found that such a situation considering his health could be described by legal authorities as torture. and president has called for more coordinated in new defense strategy following britain's exit from the e.u. and money on the crunch that europeans need to reduce their reliance on the us. live from the amount of the collapse of the i.n.f. treaty france hopes for more inclusive talks in which europe's voice and interests are taken into account in talks on a new instrument to assure strategic stability on our continent if it's blocked by some we won't stand still europeans cannot confine themselves to the role of spectator to build the europe of tomorrow our norms can't be under american control . in his speech mccrone said renewing arms control needs to be put back on the global agenda but he ruled out any further cuts to france's nuclear arsenal the

country has previously reduced its warheads to less than 300 despite that it spending 37000000000 euros modernizing its arsenal between 20192025. according speech comes at a time when long standing accords on limiting the growth of nuclear arsenals the pink recently at risk with the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty having recently been killed off signed by the us on the soviet union in 1970 a bounce from shorter range and into medium range missiles but it collapsed on august the 2nd last year when the us quit the treaty russia then followed suit professor and political commentator john bricmont believes europe doesn't need the u.s. to play a key role in nuclear defenses but the e.u. has no means of pressuring washington. but the whole of the americans in addition. to see what does it mean to do arms control as with the americans. on the americans

the only means of closure that we would have in jewelry would be to leave needle and that let them do with the world if you don't want to intervene in any of the counties and you don't need them there it's as simple as that. and that even if you're willing to do. it with will they don't you believe the defense because nobody says if you get to the french army these abused people who are going to a doctor in germany for. a quick look now at other stories making headlines around the globe 1st of all the kazakstan where a mass brawl in a village has left 8 people dead and dozens injured police arrested 47 people and seized 2 hunting rifles over 3 of the 30 houses were damaged in the chaos the motive of the unrest is not yet known. there's still no relief to bushfires raging in australia aerial footage captured a wall of smoke filling the sky in the southeastern state of victoria on saturday at least 31 people have been killed since the fires 1st began in september along

thanks to cheering on. at the top of the. dance community there are people who believe that it's ok to sell practically food on the table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's

a lot of conflict in the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made. close one on each other because he knows each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex just to get some 20 a life where. you don't care and one of my cares about your so your care might anything. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront cation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
