thank you would you the dog treat you. among hundreds on the way for a soldier in thailand who went on a shooting rampage killing at least 21 people. a british couple accused of plotting the murder of their adopted son in india walks free but now u.k. high court is a block to the extradition fighting human rights concerns. and french regulators slap a 25000000 euro fine on our poll for making good software updates slow down older versions of the i o. .

a very warm welcome you're watching r t international with mean mickey errands and our top story this hour a manhunt is under way in thailand for us folger who went on a shooting rampage killing at least 21 people and injuring more than 60 others these are the latest pictures from the shopping mall in caracas where most of the killings took place the soldier is believed to still be inside the massacre started on saturday afternoon at the sergeant killed his commanding officer at a military barracks before storming the wall opening fire on shoppers one officer died and 2 were injured during a failed attempt to after heading the suspects because his motives are not known at this stage he lives dreams the shooting on social media and those videos were widely shared before being taken down this is the moment terrified shoppers managed to escape.

but the morning that. he were scared and ran to the tour his to hide the gym trainer told us to hide there so we all went in . when people saw him and bring them all everyone ran people were falling down pushing each other trying to escape and serve themselves i heard gunshots trying to stay calm the authorities will come and help you stay calm. and worried about you very much i'm outside the fortune building and i'm giving information to the authorities. well this is what we know about the gunman so far has 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 andrei vulture it gave us some context to this shooting. thailand has one of the all very

high homo side grades it has high at home or so per capita than the united states and lately there is a huge don't show there is a social don't sugar in thailand income disparity is tremendous price is sort of very high tide bart is. 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 knowledge to see that under the surface all flows politeness and smiles or there is a lot of anger and frustration so many think i'm. going through a good reaction from from the people. here to be able to talk. about the soldier a boat. you know a person who has access to guns so this is. dangerous.

cocktail if you wish. the final result from the iowa democratic primary still remains on the clear despite always the old style being in party official to spend the week trying to verify the long delayed figures following a technical glitch and many are questioning how the chaos that was allowed to happen much to the amusement of donald trump the democrats don't know what the hell they're doing i. i. was a kid. simple votes but they want to fix your health care system. when questions of race over any election results in the us they're soon followed by pledges it will be thought it quickly but is caleb morgan explained when it happens in other countries washington to 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 foresees 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 iowa caucus was rigged by mayor cheap

eat pasta don't. you know. 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 has 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 new political actors 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 a sled things have been pretty messy and 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 leftover discrepancies to justify any campaign to demonize this and then ultimately to overthrow him the reason why did he go against. them just because he pursued policies that were of objecting to us on nation 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 kill. asked caleb happen archie new york. the president of the philippines is threaten to rip up

a longstanding military pact with the u.s. and i thought the washington council the tourist visa issue to one of his close political allies over an anti drug crackdown or drink or deter the u.s. to reconsider. suit bottle. but go on the move and watering your this is the 1st time. i mean you know. you know. why are you a better man may be brief. visit being force is agreement. also boil down in the so called visiting forces agreement has been in place since 1909 it allows us troops to take part in joint training exercises in the

philippines foreign affairs analyst richard hay darian gave us his views on the disputes. here is the president the 3rd is really angry at the united states not only because of the travel ban or restriction imposed on these key allies but there are concerns that the united states might actually move forward with the priest and other kinds of sanctions against the president himself down the road especially when he's out of the power he's going to step down plenty plenty to so i think there was some complacency on the part of united states vs they ease indeed taken out that means the end all significant amount of american military the developments which amounted to $1800000000.00 or possibly a case and it's going to make it very difficult for them arrogance alteration of the light because of the if they the software that allows for the operationalization of the hardware of the bailout caroline and you get like the why . the u.k. has refused to extradite a couple accused of a ranging them that still takes on an india show yet with stuff 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 orphan boy in india and promised him a better life but now they're charged with the ranging his murder all for a lump sum of life insurance payout. indian place have been battling for over 2 years to get their hands on the couple but to no avail and now british high court judges have ruled they can't be extradited but not because the evidence against them isn't strong enough i find very circumstantial prime aphasia case that ms dear mr a jogger acted together and with others committed the offense to set out above despite all this the u.k. won't send the back why well because of one crucial piece of indian at

a sleigh sion 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 being 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 and to the good right 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 saying 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 euros fine for deliberately slowing down older versions of the i phone the countries competition and fraud watchdog says i phone owners were not informed that installing updates would lead to a slower device it also ruled apple was guilty of a misleading commercial practice by capping the performance of older models whose aging batteries couldn't handle surges in energy use well apple has admitted to failing to inform customers they could simply replace their battery instead of buying a new device or their apple has agreed to pay the fine it claims it wasn't trying to make people upgrade to new phones. well we now know in black and white apple business model i got halfway through the story and my phone died i'd love to see that friend passed on to consumers i refurbished my battery last year which means 0 difference to performance outrageous. technology expert bill new

believes our poll be more concerned by the bad p.r. than fine. i think the main damage to apple in this particular instance was the damage to its reputation when this story 1st came out back in 2017 and there was that quote apple farm all going to find that is equivalent to only about 55000000000 of revenue for the for these winds 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 laws are coming through that help people who actually have to upgrade their phones have to replace components and hopefully that'll 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 rise. but this is a complex of markets and jobs that royce biegler willing to break then that's the state of the market. court trial is ongoing in spain a surprise

a security firm accused of spying on wiki leaks founder julian assange and spies judge brought the case against you see global a songe came to the spanish firm installed cameras and microphones in the ecuadorian embassy in london while he was living there where late last year sons 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's been attending the herrings he claims the spanish company illegally shared confidential data with the cia. and then there's a large amount of evidence related to the work that the u.c. global company carried out while providing security services to the ecuadorian embassy the company's e-mails indicate priority goals including mr songes lawyers doctors and ecuadorian diplomats themselves there was 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 photos 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 mr sanders meetings which led to reinforce the case mr sun 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. but assad was jailed after being evicted from the ecuadorian embassy in london last april in our faces extradition to the u.s. on espionage and hacking charges those allegations center on the publication by wiki leaks of thousands of classified military files and 2010 thank you to this incriminating video of american troops in iraq now if convicted us dollars could have a president term of up to 175 year is the final stage of his extradition trial has

been pushed back to may have meanwhile son's remains in belmarsh prison assigned was only recently moved from solitary confinement after repeated 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 client 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. seen start out 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. the french president has called for

a more coordinated in new defense strategy following britain's exit from the e.u. and i know mccrone said you were pains they too would do 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 . and 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 bad spending 37000000000 euros modernizing its arsenal between 20192025.

on a crown speech comes at a time when longstanding accords on limiting the growth of nuclear arsenals appear increasingly at risk with the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty having recently been killed of signed by the us in the soviet union in 1970 bands from shorter range an intermediate range missiles but it collapsed on august the 2nd last year when the u.s. quit the treaty and russia then followed suit professor and political commentator john bricmont believes europe there's a need the u.s. to play a key role in nuclear defenses but the e.u. has no means of pressuring washington. there's a hold of americans in you. to see what does it mean to you if you do i'm going to cause you the americans with no means of getting on the americans any means of pleasure that you 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 countries and you don't need americans so simple as this. and that even if you were going to say did.

you do with those were they don't you believe the defense because nobody said that to the french army these abused people who were going to abductions joe many. a quick look now at other stories making headlines around the globe 1st to 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 of the 30 houses with down which to the chaos the motive of the unrest is still yet not yet known. there's still no relief to such fires 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 with an estimated 1000000000 animals around 10000000 hectares of land have been destroyed. and in germany demonstrators took to the streets of munster angered that

the alternative for germany party was holding its new year congress protesters chanted slogans denouncing a.s.d. members as nazis and waving l g b t flags the congress came just 2 days after a nationwide outrage over a deal struck between the a.f.p. and the ruling social democrats over a key regional prime minister has since stepped down in the wake of the full. and now for a special of rifle and often steel is being nursed back to health in st petersburg after being discovered on the shores of the baltic sea is believed because so many . lost her mother in a storm but places say she's making good progress. joining

us on our international we're back at the top of the hour with the headlines. so the politicians have basically stuck the american public with the delegate to negotiate for drugs and both parties who are financed very heavily by the pharmaceutical industry have done this so when your own people vote they should look at how much does this politician get from the power pharmaceutical industry.

in his community there are people who believe that it's ok. 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 2 most of the conflicts i would say are overblown from money and most of them money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complex just to get some 20 a life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so you don't care might anything. and i mean another one of our esteemed accounts when you're both to assume because the ballot itself mukti if i. was in this way got to doubt so hard not to think

i'm going to dissipate this moment then walk up to a power and open this door up and if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights in his way. through our you can feel the fee on this bill frist woody allen called the ability to put the moment on the. what i think is this is the funds that is a constant. thank you because you know about the ones we got in our ships now watch this video it's still trapped in this tiny little wired patch we'll hear the crate with him he will stir reaching out into the wilderness bring him anywhere near. reading dogs or

caged in the into lane conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the cold air the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. because you. know it's true kids. across the u.s. cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a group businesses are involved but can't get them sent up there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding facilities most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog.

thank you. sir they are doing this because you are americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents i'd like to start off tonight by playing a little footage from donald trump's state of the view. i thought he did pretty well i thought. and now i'd like to play a portion of the vote this week on donald trump's impeachment.

and finally. some footage from this week's iowa caucuses. i thought they went well. but for the moment i want to focus on the state of the union as you can imagine it was filled with honesty and truth that gum drops and lollipops. very incredibly the average unemployment rate under my administration is lower than any administration in the history of our country. actually actually that may honestly be true if you count the crappy crappy truly crappy things most of us are forced to do to survive as jobs. i mean look at me of course ok t.v. show. much of this employment boom has been in the service sector doing things like delivering pizzas

or driving or not actual careers or works of passion and people doing those jobs don't earn. an mit study found that hoover drivers often make below minimum wage and large a large percent of them actually lose money plus a new analysis shows the door dash drivers make an average of a $1.45 an hour these people don't realize they're getting screwed because they aren't accounting for the wear and tear on their vehicle or their insurance cost or the cost of steam cleaning a $1000.00 coronavirus farts out of their backseat. not cheap so trump gets to run around go and look at allo one employment is. when we should really be saying look at how effectively we've exploited these workers isn't it thrilling. despite trump's lies the people of america are not doing well the un special rapporteur on

extreme poverty toward our fine country a couple of years ago and found us inequality levels are far higher than those in most european countries americans can expect to live shorter and sicker lives and my favorite stat it has been estimated that 12000000 americans live with a neglected parasitic infection of trust rompin find a chance fit that into the state of the union you know. just after giving the presidential medal of freedom to rush limbaugh he could have said oh yeah well speaking of parents. 12000000 americans have been now 30 years. when they do an official toward of alabama's poorest areas he said i haven't seen this in the 1st world but it's too easy to just pick apart from flies i want to talk about the couple of moments where both republicans and democrats all agreed and cheered for what the president said.
