investigators sure helmsley uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. you greater. in. iraq. for. crying for justice on r.t. . terror returns to france where a teacher is beheaded after reportedly showing his cast rocketry cartoons of the prophet mohammed also to come the sound. i'm standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment it's about 8 pieces in diameter our correspondent reports from the war torn region of nagorno-karabakh questioning has intensified despite a cease fire between the 2 warring sides armenia and azerbaijan and are of also been attacks outside the disputed territory with civilian casualties reported in raids on the syrian city plus washington rejects russia's proposal to extend

a major nuclear arms treaty between the 2 nations which is just months away from expiring. hello very good afternoon to you watching out international just gone 3 o'clock in moscow 9 arrests have been made in france in connection with the beheading have a schoolteacher near paris the atrocity took place after he reportedly showed his class derogatory card things of the prophet mohammed resins turn and people have been laying flowers where the attack took place is a breakdown of what happened. in .

80 a sunni one of our compatriots was murdered because he taught freedom of expression the freedom to believe or not believe our compact it was the victim of an islamist terror attack. 9 arrests have taken place following searches overnight following that attack that terror attack in that region to the northwest of paris when the stand one is a minor and 2 are parents of children who attended the school where the 47 year old history teacher has been named by french media as samuel patty taught this is the reaction from the ground that it is the school that is attacked it is the republican school that is attacked it is secularism that is attacked and the shock is obviously considerable that the alleged attacker tweeted a picture of that attack and posted your own social media house since being removed

but in the post he said he killed the 47 year old teacher because he had shown those images of the prophet mohammed but the a mom at the grand mosque in bordeaux has hit out at this attack describing it as vile and saying that there was no reason for it to have taken place whatever the thought the believe even the insult the caricature of the other nothing justifies the fact of killing the so it is the mortal capital soon to kill a person like that to carve his throat like that all because it showed caricaturists of the prophet. charlie hebdo this is called magazine which has previously published controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammed has also tweeted about the attack saying intolerance has crossed a new threshold in france and of course it was recently at the center of another terror attack in here in france after we publishing those controversial cartoons to

coincide with the start of the terror trial relating to the attack on their offices back in 20153 weeks ago an 18 year old man angered by that stabbed to people outside the former offices president raekwon recently set out his stall single be a new draft law homeschooling will be banned for the majority of people apart from in health circumstances arabic will now be taught in schools well than in mosques because of fears of potential indoctrination but many will wonder where the that will be enough given that recent polls show that almost 3 quarters of young muslims under the age of 25 who responded to that poll so that they would put their faith above that of the republic so a real question of soul searching question going on here in france as it remains under this cloud of terror with people asking where that this new law will be

enough to to fight the rot or whether it's too little too late shot at the been there we spoke to a parent of one of the students who was in the lesson when the cartoons were shown in the view. he asked a muslim children to raise their hand and leave the classroom he did it my son told me he didn't do it to discriminate rigid heard he did it to preserve the children look to not short of them he explained i'd prefer if you left because i'm going to share with the tune of the prophet of islam because i don't want to shock you get a good job but we discuss the ins and there at the hague he's a writer and political analyst in paris and he says there is a clash in france between secular and religious values that needs to be addressed. there is a problem very deep problem between islamic groups in our conception of the security reason. as we see in crims reconsider the traditions the

intimate the fear and the private of fear and we cannot mix the religion and the good life in the street in the city there is a low in preparation but. a lot of people consider that this low is too shy. is not proportionate to the very quick move prof or from the president to the spot where the tragedy happened is the. number of complying or of this conscience of descendant conscience of the. now the capital of the disputed nagorno-karabakh region has been struck by several powerful explosions overnight despite a cease fire agreed between armenia and azerbaijan last weekend reports on the ground claim that air raid sirens went off multiple times but the extent of the damage is currently unclear locals took cover in their basements the rockets are

believed to have also struck the area surrounding the city these are pictures from one of the nearby villages and injuries have been reported there to where the number of regions where fighting has flared up in the going to cutback has been growing since tensions flared between back and yet a van back in september the 2 sides are trading accusations of attacks blaming each other the civilian casualties and also inflicting damage as a big guns president has meanwhile announced that his country has reclaimed 3 cities in hugo and a kind of back something armenia denies our correspondent is in the region and i reports on what life is like there after these latest strikes. this place could very easily be mistaken for the front line of nagorno karabakh but it isn't it's a small sleepy village of. also commonly known as red bazaar and last night it was battered by a very fire standing in one of the craters left by the bombardment it's about 8

meters in diameter. it was about 7 o'clock i wanted to park the car in the yard but cluster bombs had been dropped there. the cast iron explodes and splinters everywhere with a radius up to a few 100 metres today for example my house wasn't damaged but our neighbors windows were smashed someone's roof was broken already used to it. like all villages of nagorno karabakh red bazaar resembles a ghost town it's not the 1st time that it's been bombed in this escalation there's also a monotonous rhythm made by the sounds of artillery fire coming from over the horizon but those who have chosen to stay are saying that they have gotten used to this new and gruesome soundtrack to their lives he says the kind of life can there be during war everyone hides in basements even if a bomb drops

a kilometer away all the houses shake we know that it's close to us of course it's scary especially when the bombs drop nearby but i'm not going to leave anyway all the youngsters and men stayed here some of them are serving in the army depending on their age. but here it's just an echo of the fighting that is raging some 50 kilometers to the south from here around the town of drought there is no way of saying for sure who is in control of this heavily contested region which is considered to be the gateway into nagorno karabakh thing is it's one of the biggest problems about covering this conflict the lack of opportunities to independently verify the claims of both sides but one fact is. the fighting there is absolutely brutal despite the ceasefire that was announced a whole week ago but as of now there's no mechanism of in forcing the troops on the ground and as long until this mechanism is implemented the fighting one sees by

itself and we've done of reporting from the going to karabakh artsy meanwhile the conflict is against beyond the borders of the disputed territory as a beyond claims that 13 people were killed in a shelling raid in the early hours of saturday morning over 50 people were injured in as a persian 2nd largest city of ganja rescue efforts are ongoing with residential building for 43 feet in the attack this is very president calls it a war crime and his bad response on the battlefield another. has repeatedly come under fire this weight back you accuse yet of and of carrying out the attacks and the days and azerbaijani journalist and sent this report from the air. i mean is it offers or vision it is safe here now but a few days ago simply turning on our camera lights would have very. with guns firing at any source of light and dark. and go on boy.

through fire for armenian armed forces for example would be in the queue for we were taught. we hear shells exploding no more than a few 100 meters from us fighting continues along. the forms line and surveillance are called indian mido for example yesterday during a funeral procession shell exploded a graveyard killing 5 people in one day and in those of 5 shells he also residential buildings and then when lord people here in tahrir or leave the nerves never knowing when shells are start falling again. by washington gods over the extension of a major nuclear arms control treaty that after the u.s. pushed back against that in the putin's proposal to extend it for another year without any preconditions as the details as the clock ticks on the last remaining

u.s. russian arms control treaty the united states and russia seem to be locked in a stalemate while most are suggesting an unconditional 5 year extension of the treaty the u.s. wants quite extensive changes which moscow is called quite simply unrealistic now speaking early on friday president putin made a strong call to save the pact. i have a suggestion to prolong the existing treaty without any conditions for at least one year in order to have the opportunity to hold talks on all the matters regulated by such treaties and not to leave all the countries in the world interested in the preservation of strategic stability without such a fundamental document as the strategic arms reduction treaty and things between the 2 have escalated quite quickly with the us even responding with threats if their conditions are not less. the united states is serious about arms control that will keep the entire world safe we hope that russia will re-evaluate its position

before a costly arms race ensues now the issue is that washington wants a framework for a new trilateral treaty that covers all nuclear warheads and includes those of china in the future something which russia has objected to the new strategic arms reduction treaty otherwise known as the new start treaty was signed in 2010 by u.s. president barack obama and russian president dmitry medvedev and the plan to limits each country to no more than $1550.00 deployed nuclear warheads and $700.00 deployed missiles and bombers and envisages sweeping on site inspections to verify compliance but the treaty is set to expire in february 2021 so time is really of the essence here and the lack of an agreement and of course the tone of rhetoric between the 2 sides as raise concerns within the u.n. it is imperative that the russian federation and united states of america extend with. the new start treaty for the duration of 5 years. for the sake of all of

our security the world must return to a common past wars nuclear designs now as you may remember last year saw the breakdown of the 987 intermediate range nuclear forces treaty so the new start is the only nuclear arms control pact between the 2 sides that remains so needless to say the stakes are extremely high what's going to be taken in washington. and washington what you're just going to. increase the. existence of all these weapons. point i think there were points there were more. points that very closely watched. the war. over the last 30 years so you know there are those. who are. honestly you have no arms legs arms production nuclear arms production our military industrial spending is the

most. likely won't cost well that and. so there are very strong elements in the united states and in the trunk. oh we're just seeing a new arms race because i don't mean immense once that's. so we come in and say authorities in russia's far east system trying to get to the bottom of an ecological disaster that has devastated marine life in the region but have a look at the details and hear from the local governor just after the break. thank god thank. you. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to

sit down and talk.

welcome back now u.s. democrats are again accusing the russians of hacking their e-mails to leak correspondence if genuine discredits 2020 hopeful joe biden and also suggest he was aware of his son's involvement with ukrainian gas company but he smoked something the democrat candidate had previously denied that hawkins picks up the story. what recent u.s. presidential election would be complete without a good old leak and with the ensuing scandal. of those behind it inevitably russia is like groundhog day the targets democratic nominee joe biden's campaign the useful idiot messenger for my new york city mayor rudy giuliani aim to help the apparently kremlin friendly candidate when there's a new report in the washington post the headline white house was warned giuliani was target of russian intelligence operation the russians were on to him and were using giuliani's interest in ukraine to feed him mr information almost

a russian giuliani but maybe he is rudy giuliani as a recruit as a tool that can used to influence president trump you'd think it would just be too obvious surely the russians wouldn't try the same tactics twice in a row knowing the size of the media fallout from last time and what a field day this would be for the media except that's exactly what some are claiming russian intelligence has done the media have a story worthy of the d.n.c. hacking scandal and the infamous steel dossier rolled into one complete with a mysterious laptop left in a better way a computer repair store a sex tape and even a smoking gun e-mail all curiously exposed just in time for the election even fox news found it hard to believe the whole story and u.s. intelligence agencies went to the white house to warn the president or whatever you come back with whatever information i would o'brien exposing biden and his son hunter just consider that to be contaminated material what do you say about that.

well 1st of all they never warned me that of that an american citizen one would think if i were dealing with some kind of a movie agent of this and that someone would have warned me no one did it. i have never heard of that before the kremlin must be fuming the whole web of influence has been shut down in one fell swoop 1st facebook sense of the story bearing it in its algo. with the twitter label that harmful content looking the accounts of media organizations celebrities even government officials anyone who's tried to share the story it's deja vu just like 2016 in case you still haven't had enough the pre-election focus has switched again to russian meddling all courtesy of an old laptop and that in a computer store with any non-conformist voice is swiftly shut down twitter and facebook are both absolutely. biased in favor of a demographic where he and so this point they don't really care how how obviously

biased they are i mean this is election medalists this is actual election interference which is what the democrats have been trying to say russia did live in china's innocence 2016 we see that the demographic already in the media has been scrambling for ways to damage this presidency into a sort of reputation you know russia for some reason remains this eternal bad guy the democrats go back to russia in this report which is so undeniably damaging to biden what are they going to do well they think they can attack the new york post and then they can put the message out to their propaganda machines and mainstream media to do things like inject suspicion about these e-mails where they came from and russia's involvement when they get this point their best shot is hope these stories continue to get censored out of. the arab league has slammed israel everest decision to pay were 2000 more has ins in the occupied west bank come less than a month after israel bahrain and the u.a.e.

and create to normalize relations. the netanyahu government's insistence on moving forward with settlement activity to satisfy the extreme right wing reflects its rejection of this solution and even its commitment to destroy the chances of achieving it in the future the announced expansion plans are the biggest since 2012 according to israeli n.g.o.s peace now earlier this year israel agreed saying freeze the formal an exception of the west bank under the us middle east plan spearheaded by president trump however listings of finance the deal saying that it would give the green light to israeli settlement activity meanwhile un human rights observers are still being denied access to israel and the palestinian territories back in february israeli authorities announced the country was suspending its ties with the united nations office of the high commissioner for human rights after a report was published naming more than $100.00 israeli companies that work illegally in the west bank settlements but absence of international start from the

occupied territories a highly irregular situation will negatively impact on now billeted to carry out our mandate we continue to hope that the situation will be resolved soon and we're actively engaged with various relevant and concerned parties do that with care the country director of human rights watch in israel told us the defacto expulsion of the monitors is part of a trend. this is clearly being done as an effort to muzzle documentation and advocacy around israel systematic repression of palestinians and i should say it's not a one off issue i was deported myself after being more than 2 and a half years based on the ground as human rights watch as israel palestine director based on our work on the ground as well and it's part of a long standing trend and it's part of a sustained assault on the human rights movement while the us has historically always shielded israel from accountability and turned a blind eye to abuse this u.s.

administration has taken it a step further and even giving the green light for these abuses to continue sort of should come to no surprise that we see settlement activities at unprecedented levels historically and continued efforts to entrench this discriminatory reality. now authorities in russia's far east region have come chance to say that talks the galaxy was to blame for the destruction of masses of marine life early this month and i questioning that explanation it is claimed that large amounts of seattle again microorganisms grew exponentially to create a so-called red tide event that destroys of the marine life some of those allegations toxins while others depleted the water of oxygen as they grew and then decomposed we discuss the disaster and the surrounding the official version we can check because gov. we say for sure right now the winds were dead

because of the radar it's because of the microorganisms the. waters around a week ago in one of your interviews mr governor you mentioned the red tide saying initially i didn't take it seriously to be on it so what happened 87 days to completely tank your mind i am not specialists in biology i'm not a scientist and as a simple personally being. of course for me when i heard that those microorganisms. could cause such a massive death of. 1000000 inhabitants was like a joke i used to believe do serious scientists who now say that it is not a unique phenomenon that we faced it before but there are still those who do not agree with the official explanation it's not a secret for your course mr governor and they still insist that it is

a made situation disaster and what would you say to that our response is very simple it is the absolute openness and transparency we invite everybody who is concerned about the political situation to come charkha who wants to investigate all the facts and all the analytics work here and i welcome everybody who wants to participate in these investigations scientists do not have the answer why right now it happened of course we cared very warm summer and climate change may influence different processes in the ocean and in the year is the heart of the human being are doing to the ocean in global scale there to much of this higher ocean is giving their response to us to humans. sitting good enough you should stalk you should change something in your behavior written off in the putting the

questions so that's how things are looking on artsy yet this often ain't good to have you companies always were back again the topic. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. the isolation of the whole community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what's his face. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness.

plane. coming. up was still a lot but the catalyst of all the. only one look at what why did why do you know who the hell out of the. clearly hoped to be but they were here are some friends that the us are still stuck at the soul hoping to do something this year. so yeah this chart for sure slow motion. we have a lot of them as a possible ally that's also going in the most simple with someone of that you know

what would happen. join me every 1st day on the island simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the olympics business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know when the fandom occurs sit back in february the question i posed to the global audience was will this be a crisis sufficient enough to overrun the ability of central banks to paper over the crisis because for the last 30 years every crisis we've had whether it's a market crash or the 2000 a subprime crash or a hurricane or ecological or depopulation or wars always been met with paper printing by the central banks and as long as the interest rates keep going down

there's no penalty for issuing all that paper as we've seen now for 40 years interest rates have gone down so now here we are in the end of the year the question again is is the cause of it a crisis big enough to not be able to be fixed by central bank money printing. you know to go home i differ with you don't focus the muslim people everybody on

our media and those evils i suppose oh no. not this one of the whole time he left might want. to. leave because it gives me my 1st big woke up with good pussy and i'm we said. someplace he most people almost couldn't be our most came in nobody goes from believe the national security was the music to the hospital you can only try to coax. that idol meat out of the compass he will. deny someone to speak on us you're not going so smoothly live in the do you believe i caught him on the field vehicle. and also knows all the discipline little models little but if you see all of that i thank all those because i have you seen the not a clinical not someone else on board.
