hospitals out of action medics are working around the clock to save the lives of those seriously injured in the tragedy there's one heroic nurses story. i. know that when the explosion went off the ground shook beneath us the blast told me into another room i opened my eyes and found myself covered in rubble i found my colleagues and friends line here on the ground covered in blood. in. the neonatal intensive care units in the covered in rubble as well i started pulling new going south of the units i was terrified because i thought the babies might be crushed under the rubble but thank god they were ok then i took them

through this corridor and down full flights of stairs. i carried the babies and i was determined to take them to another hospital the only way less than 2 kilograms they had nothing on them except died people on the street give me their t. shirts and clothes so i could read the new voice and keep the news the conservation the on t.v. . i was holding the 3 babies and i didn't know if i was going to be able to rescue them north all the time was counting the heads on my chest to make sure they were still there. no matter who wins the next american presidential election the us national counter intelligence and

security center apparently knows already which external actor is to blame if trump wins that the russians if biden the chinese or the iranians or both oil a statement by the center is direct. says there are many foreign actors that quote have a preference over the election results it tells us voters that china views trump as unpredictable and doesn't want him to win as for russia it's using a range of measures against joe biden and iran could undermine american democracy doesn't trump though has his own views on the matter and i think that the last person russia wants to see in office is donald trump because nobody has been tougher on russia than i have ever the last thing that russia wants and china wants and iran wants would be for don't jump to what we heard from journalist and author daniel as are the things both democrats and republicans are looking for someone to blame if they lose the election the u.s. is filled with corporate media pumping out our propaganda at top volume around

the clock. that the russians chinese and iranians can barely get a word metroid point is that they're they're able to pull these charges out of their hat they have no evidence because there is no evidence there's no indication of any kind of major russian interference and u.s. electoral processes the republicans who are accusing the democrats of cheating trump is already doing that but through the misuse of mail in ballots and the democrats are repairing to blame a trump victory on russia so our so both sides are now actor are now building up their excuses and case they lose to blame it on the other person it's a recipe for disaster this wide that could very easily be some kind of political meltdown in november going underground talk to american philosopher and political activist cornel west about the upcoming election and also the rise of the black

lives matter movement here's a preview of that interview. i'm going to say angela davis on this show endorsed endorsed joe biden in november no i'm chomsky is endorsed joe biden do you think that joe biden will save us from another nuclear conflagration as we commemorate the dead of hiroshima yeah i had a choice between a neil liberal disaster you know asked yes i would go to the older will disaster that will bite me americans are sick impact is a spiteful impact it's a most unpleasant embar we've got the number one vote human being on the inside we've got some movement on the inside we've got a magnificent courageous and visionary citizen on the inside but we are losing. we are losing we're resisting but we're still losing the greed the hatred wall

street. is they are in control of the empire and they are. what is different about these uprisings since walks in los angeles in 165 and before and after the beautiful thing is that you have. coming together and making the connection between not just police our police murder but the tweet police least murder wall street power wall street crimes and pentagon power and pentagon crimes once you make those connections and connect to the most cheap make them up the mix may develop a could make the family look rabbi abraham joshua heschel as able to make. the greatest intellectual alone with no chomsky and been making for most of his intellectual life once every day people begin to make those connections then we're on to something those could listen to be made more now than they were before. if you want to watch that episode and full you can catch that later today here on

r.t. . the mother of british police officer andrew harper who was killed last year is calling for legal reforms she's launched an andrew's law campaign demanding a minimum 20 year prison term for those who kill emergency workers in august 2019 officer harper confronted 3 teenage thieves and an effort to stop them from playing he was caught in a crane strop dangling from the rear of the car driven by one of the criminals and the harbor was dragged for more than a mile along the road and died of his injuries that killers were convicted of manslaughter but cleared of murder. the officer's wife felicity harper became a widow just 4 weeks after their wedding she has launched her own campaign calling for a life sentence for those convicted of causing the deaths of emergency service workers as receive the support of the police federation of england and wales representing thousands of officers former u.k. home office minister norman baker and journalist john gone give us their views on

the case. criminals as exemplified by these 3 thoughts yeah laughing at the rest of us we need them banged up i don't know whether it should be that 20 years with chief what his mum suggesting or life but what needs to happen is much tougher sentencing when i was the home office what was quite clear to me from the research that being done by the government was that the deterrent effect came from the ability to persuade people that if they committed a crime there would be coach prosecuted and sentenced the parents effect does not come from the length of a sentence if people feel are going to be caught so i would rather have more effort put into catching people rather than putting our sentences which maybe never apply because people aren't caught we've had good liberal attitude it's singularly failed

the british public want 12 hard sentencing i personally want hard sentencing but i want to education in prisons i want them to be coming out of prison if they ever come out been able to read and write and i want them of class a drugs but i want the p. word 1st punishment i also be vigilant should look at for any commonality there we ought to have been present thought of origin cation and we presently have which are just people i know people up and throw away the chief user clichy we should actually try to reform them and i also believe in not that this particular crime but for other crimes that we ought to have following gauging with the incidents and we want to have some recompense for victims and of people approach to understand what the consequences of their actions have been then i think that's more like it's a change them into better people than simply serving in prison so we have to actually look at this it perhaps in the nurse emotional way and a more practical way to get it she was young we want everybody how don i'm in it so

what about he's widow paul is 8 when she said on the steps of the court effectively . they had handed her a life sentence the so did not get a life sentence i'll tell you what i want norman is a little less officer barack love out of porridge on a bit more full chill mccaughey we need some toughness in and we need to pay people to be scared about being. so have the followers of a far right conspiracy theory known as q anon are being banned on facebook we look at what's driving the movement after the us. is the us economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of we're not financially equality and the lack

of affordable housing for a living minimum wage give many people no choice. just been a problem with the city and always turn a return and told me stay away oh miss. the food that there is no answer because yes the records resource the most vulnerable are abandoned on the streets to become the invisible clubs. the world is driven by shaped by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask.

oh. come back facebook has become the latest social media platform to crack down on q. anon conspiracy content after deleting a group with some 200000 members for violating the platform's guidelines believers of the fringe far right conspiracy theory have been voicing their support for trump ahead of november's election but as done the quarter explains the movement has only grown despite being snubbed by the political and media elites. in the world of q a labeled by the u.s. government as one of the most dangerous conspiracy theories of all time humanity is at war and president trump is here to save it he went on which essentially leaves the entirety of the democratic party are conspiring and running an underground pedophile sex trafficking ring pacifically would cue in on is a free nation in which many baseless conspiracy theories are discussed on the internet the synergy of interest in q one comes as the u.s.

skews a predilection a few years ago it was a fringe theory and tomorrow the headlines will be massive protests a few is a bunch of people there on the inside to the good guys and they know the real story what's going on and it's all about in the deep state and so now we are back to donald trump was picked by military leaders to run for president as a way to kind of bring down the deep state it's still on the f.b.i.'s list of domestic terror threats but as of late it's been entering into the mainstream even made an appearance on america's most watched television network q. can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff and the way for stuff but they've also uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to epstein and it comes to the deep state 2020 has been a year like no other and when big events happen people look for explanations so it should come as little surprise that politicians are looking to capitalize on that

sentiment around 70 former and current congressional candidates have already given their public approval would you consider yourself a follower of you and on what does that mean. well i think what we need to recognize and actually most people do know a lot about it is that there is a deep state that exists it's not clear whether these people really believe in killing on or they're just trying to win some political points but whatever the case queuing on has some seriously high profile supporters and the media is raising the alarm over it but for many q. a non's rise in popularity is the result of that media went on is this just in a mall the mace you know all of the greatest conspiracy theories thrown into one big believe i've only been actively posting it say for the past couple of months but the response is insane constantly focusing airtime on attacking the president could very well have pushed trump supporters to more radical ideas a ministration defined by ignorance of the world so that's partly him playing to

their base and playing to their audience you know the credulous boomer rube demo that backs total trauma combined that with the violence many people are facing in the us and you have yourself a very allien ating situation if you have a group of people who say that there are insidious forces working against in them to keep the word of trump from being disseminated and their band yes that fuel that that shows them your right when you are being overwhelmed right now by everything that is so not just left wing but radically left wing the only response that people can have the only rational response that many many people can add to that is a pendulum swing to the rate which might be which might lead to a some case an over exuberant. too robust embrace of war

law and order and rules and regulations in policing and that may be fine for some people but the point must be made that you are going to be. encouraging people and recruiting more americans and more voters to take on positions that a few years ago they might not positions that many many people today would be considering right wing or even ultra right or fringe right whatever that means. a 9 year old girl in germany has been punished by her teachers for speaking her native turkish on the playground her parents are now planning to sue the school our europe correspondent peter all over the story. there's a row brewing in southwest germany over the languages spoken in school it's after a 9 year old girl was given this punishment essay to write to speak turkish the
