4:06 pm
including the pepper spray and rubber bullets, could get even worse. in australia, you do have a small but the same time, not insignificant percentage of the population. who is part of this worldwide movement of the what i would the, the, and the explanation group. the interesting thing about these particular partners today is the way that they have scribe bio straight and officials. for example, one official described participating is i quote, he drunken, fascist on a straight in morons. so this the 1st time we've seen such language being used to describe the purpose. and as for the police, it's interesting that the police officials have said that in light of what they've heard about the intentions of the demonstrators to continue they have, they said that they will take a different approach more heavy had to approach the demonstrations continue in next
4:07 pm
few days this year, un general assembly is up and running in new york with leaders from around the world, taking the podium on the 1st addresses with us president joe biden. his operative word being cooperation, but it's not that simple. it's kind of open explain. joe biden spoke before the un general assembly in his remarks. he gave a lot of platitudes. he emphasized international cooperation. he talked about how the prosperity and security of one nation is intertwined with the prosperity and security of other nation. he talked about the need for a global fight against climate change. now what's interesting is he specifically talked about ghana stare, and he talked about how the u. s. a withdrawing from afghanistan represented the end of an era he did emphasize, the united states was prepared to defend itself against any terrorist group that might attack that the usa is even better equipped to do so than it was in previous years. and not only that, that it could cut off the financing of terrorist groups,
4:08 pm
and it could effectively counter their just information and propaganda. joe biden did not touch on the recent air strike that was aimed at icbc, but ended up killing civilians including children. now joe biden also emphasized that the united states would always come to the aid of its allies. it has its back of those countries that are aligned with it. here's what joe biden said. all the major powers of the world have a duty in my view to carefully manage their relationships. so we do not chip from responsible competition to conflict. we are not seeking a new cold war or world wide it. in the rigid block, united states is ready to work with any nation will stand up for our allies and our friends, and oppose attempts by stronger countries dominate weaker ones. now this comes amid the aftermath of a decision last week by the united states to enter a trilateral security packed with australia and the united kingdom. the august
4:09 pm
packed has been set up and this agreement was seen as a slap in the face to france. a long time nato ally of the united states resulted in submarine contracts, the sale of submarines by france to australia being canceled. it was quite a lucrative deal. and as a result, the united states will be supplying submarines to australia or rather than france. the french were quite outraged by it, as were other voices within the european union. one of our member states has been treated in a way that is not acceptable friends and allies partners talk to each other. so this is clearly, this did clearly not happen. and i think we need to talk during the discussion ministers express, clear story that 80 tory france and these announcement run counter
4:10 pm
2 calls for greater corporation. we did it the in union, in the, in the pacific. we seeing that it has made a lot of things more difficult, and i'm afraid things will remain more difficult for a while. we understand very well the anger of our french friends. what was decided that the way this decision came about is irritating. it is sobering and not only for from us. now, what's interesting is that after joe biden spoke on the official schedule of the un general assembly, we were supposed to be hearing from french president mc kron, who was going to give a pre recorded statement. however, that pre recorded address from the french leader has been cancelled. now we understand that the french foreign dentist or not the president, will be speaking to the un general assembly and that won't be happening until monday. this is quite a dramatic shift. this will be the 1st time that the french president has not addressed the un general assembly since 2005. now it's also interesting to note
4:11 pm
that france has not given an official reason for this decision, but many are looking on and saying that this is related to the new tension between the united states and france related to the office deal. now, china has also denounced the august deal saying that it is an escalation leading to kind of new cold war. now, joe biden spoken many found his words to be somewhat disingenuous. when he said he didn't want a new cold war and didn't want the world divided into blocks, many looked at the office deal and the escalation against china and were somewhat skeptical. the french probably looked on and heard jo biden's words about defending allies with some cynicism. and on top of that, we have a situation where we have the iranian leaders who are stepping up and saying that the united states didn't intervene in iraq and syria for the purpose of defending democracy. but rather preventing democracy and preventing the democratic will of the populations from being and acted. so quite a bit of skepticism from international observers about joe biden speech. this was
4:12 pm
his 1st speech to the un general assembly. let's not bring in journalist an author . chris hedges, also host of r t. americas on contact to see you again, chris, there's a few things to pick up on here. why do you think joe biden so pointedly, use words like cooperation and standing up for allies after what he did to france this week? and i've got to stand last month. i think everything, the joe biden said rhetorically, doesn't match both us policy. and more importantly, the lost power and reach that the american empire has suffered following 20 years of the tobacco holes in the middle east. it's mishandling of the covered pandemic. there, there is a kind of feigning on the part of the,
4:13 pm
by the administration that none of this happened. there is a clear rupture and a rupture with traditional allies that has seen nato partners speak of essentially going it alone. the unilateral actions of the united states, the unilateral decision to pull out of afghanistan, the unilateral decision to essentially betray the french and the french found out by reading it in the newspapers. there was no diplomatic back channel communication beforehand. i think there's a disconnect between the world view that biden presented of america of itself. and the reality is there's a pretty deep chasm there. you know, so he's brushing off, turning his back to his allies across the atlantic, and he's looking to more towards the pacific, the indo pacific. and the maneuvers around that. normally, when america wants to wait into something like that, it looks at its allies across the atlantic to say,
4:14 pm
come on join it and he's not really going to get much from them. this time round was for thinking there. well, u. s. foreign policy, this isn't particularly new, has become one that is carried out without consultation. the french sure. if we go back to the invasion of iraq were dead set against the invasion of iraq because as they correctly pointed out, saddam hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction and had nothing to do with the attacks of 911. so this kind of unilateral activity on the part of the united states, which to a certain extent, it was able to get away with when it projected that kind of power. now i think is very detrimental and accelerates the disintegration of that power on the world stage. the whole idea that this is, he speaks about not wanting confrontation and cooperation at
4:15 pm
a time when he carries out a massive deal in terms of nuclear submarines. basing them centrally, you know, in the waters that are dominated by china, is ratcheting up tensions in the same way that the united states is responsible for ratcheting up tensions with russia. by expanding nato, define the promises that were made to the time president gorbachev, that nato would not expand beyond the borders of the re, unified germany. and i think we can't discount that while the wars and afghan a stand and iraq have been harmful to us policy harmful to us, her gemini and power. it has been quite lucrative for the weapons industry is stocks of quadrupled. and i think that there is a kind of a driving force where these corporations are making billions and billions of
4:16 pm
dollars by embracing an expansion of the american footprint. yeah, well, he said he didn't want a cold war. we heard him say the general assembly, but we're waiting to see us both chris hedges from all these on contact. thank you . this is, i'll say, all the way a 3rd russian man faces charges in britain over alleged involvement in the 2018 script poisoning saga among all stories still ahead of the break. ah rather driven by shaped by those with the in
4:18 pm

4:20 pm
ah, i use the law, i didn't hear the shot, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already got that turns out if we had like 1015 minutes sonya we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually have building time we are in the 1st building, turned out that it was this little to save the today me me the suspect was identified as an 18 year old freshman student at the university. he
4:21 pm
spent just a couple of weeks there before the incident, so it's unlikely it was an act of personal revenge. investigators have been able to piece together exactly what happened on that day. so we know that a black clad shooter in a helmet with hunting rifle and ammunition wrapped around his body, stormed into the campus around 11 in the morning while were in their classes. some of the students and teachers barricaded in their classrooms. others were seen jumping out of windows, trying to flee the harness. it was a horrific scene unfolding, unfolding just meters away from where we're standing now. people were leaping from a height of about 4 meters falling heavily on the ground. many of them have suffered serious injuries because of that. our team managed to talk to you the suspects father, who lives in a different city now and hasn't kept in close contact with his son an ex wife. but nonetheless, he noticed that something was not right with his son. i am in another city right
4:22 pm
now. i heard various rumors and still don't know what to believe me. i work away on contract. come to come around once a year. sometimes more, sometimes less and lost so much calling around april or may nothing could have prepared me for. when i 1st heard about the incident, i went into shock and i still haven't recovered from what he suspected of doing. when he lived with his mother, we divorced for 12 years. and whenever i talked to him, he just sat at home by the computer. i kept asking him, why didn't he go for a walk or do something else? this year he went to university to study forensic science on a c. thank you. he hadn't even finished his 1st month. well, as you can imagine, this was a nightmare, especially for those who were inside at that moment. then we're going to listen to a story of a teacher who was lucky enough to survive this horrible blood bath most will in the school. soon as we were touring university, new hardware had arrived to spend more time on it. so my next level, but we said
4:23 pm
a bit longer and there's 3 minutes actually saved off because everything happens to do. we will late one of my students left earlier to be in time and know that she was injured. she's in hospital right now, my team and i got lucky off have instructions on what to do and everything moved on as per instructions and i'll train to summarize our to rule running case the fire barricade felt in as a terrorist attack, a force the question on everyone's mind now is how we mentally insane 18 year old got hold of a farm while he bought it legally. resume and footage taken in one of the gun stores where the shooter allegedly purchased his ammo. he passed all the medical tests. he was that advice i hired trees, who apparently hadn't noticed anything odd about this quite young man. so that would be mass shooter, got a firearms license in accordance with russian laws. and probably this is an area of
4:24 pm
legislation that is going to be revised in by authorities in the near future. now, what's crystal clear about this tragedy though? right now is that it could have been much worse if it hadn't been for 2 heroic traffic police officers who miraculously happened to be in the vicinity. when the shooting started, they both rushed to the camp. one of them quickly ran into the attacker who opened fire. that officer constantly calling and fired back one thing of the suspect and then even administered 1st aid. the gunman in the hospital. now in serious condition, although he survived and regained consciousness, i can say the same about the city though, as per miss. still trying to come to terms with the nightmare that's just happened . the british for office is someone rushes 2nd highest diplomat in london to discuss the salisbury poisoning saga i was off the u. k. named a 3rd russian over alleged involvement of the 2018 poisonings which left 3 people
