5:06 pm
bullets, could get even worse. in australia, you do have a small but in the same time, not insignificant percentage of the population who is part of this worldwide movement of the what i would the, the feedback sedation group. the interesting thing about these particular practice today is the way that they had described bio straight and officials, for example, one official describers participating. as i quote the drunken, fascist, straight in morons to the post time. we've seen such language being used to describe the purpose 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 had, they said that they will take a different approach more heavy had to approach the demonstrations continue in next
5:07 pm
few days. if you're in general assembly is up and running in new york with leaders from around the world, taking the podium 1st up was us president joe biden with his operative word being cooperation, but it's not that simple as kind of open explains. joe biden spoke before the un general assembly in his remarks. he gave a lot of platitudes, the 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 talked about how the usa 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, and it could effectively counter their disinformation and propaganda. joe biden did
5:08 pm
not touch on the recent air strike that was aimed at ice hill, 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, while 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 and dominate weaker wines. 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 orchestra
5:09 pm
pack 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 that resulted in submarine contrast the sale of submarine by france to australia being canceled. it was quite a lucrative deal. and as a result, the united states will be supplying submarines to foster alia, 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. there is a growing feeling in europe, and i say this will regret that something is broken in our transatlantic relations . it's probably time to pause and reset our e. you us relationship. during the discussion ministers express. clear story that
5:10 pm
80 tory friends and these announcement run counter 2 calls for greater corporation. we did it the and union in the, in the pacific. seeing that 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 france. 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 crohn 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 minister, not the president, will be speaking to the un general assembly and that won't be happening until monday. this is quite
5:11 pm
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 that france is 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 he 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
5:12 pm
democracy. but rather preventing democracy in preventing the democratic will of the populations from being acted. so quite a bit of skepticism from international observers about joe biden speech. this was his 1st speech to the un general assembly that's got more on that now. then we'll talk to journalist and author, daniela's, witness widely about american government democracy. welcome back to a bite and talk a lot about cooperation standing up for allies. i can imagine there was a snort of derision at the least a palace. how do you think it went down in europe? well, i think the speed to as a species that the sort are always sort of filled with cliches. but this one was specially, so, i mean, personally re, thing that said was at odds with the, the reality of us policy. i mean, even when he called for level playing field among nations in terms of international trade. i mean, everyone knows that the, that the day, the internet, the field of international trade is slanted toward us dance. jewish. he
5:13 pm
was the loss of american families. didn't mention john afghan, civilian or military now admit it killed for no reason. the vacuum ration, you know, talked about not wanting to divide the world up into blog. us walking on a highly aggressive power against china. i could go on and on, but you know, just every statement at odds with the reality development to get back to france in a minute. what do you make of his saying he was committed to preventing a new cold war. how does that square with those moves in the, in the pacific of late, it doesn't square at all. because the us policy in the end pacific is extremely aggressive. the chinese have every reason to be to be taken back by the,
5:14 pm
by what the us is doing. i mean, at the shoe, on the other part of the u. s. was like, you know, was, was creating international lions that patrol and waters off caliber back and threatening america away. america sounds threatening china. the us will be up and actually up in our north, but somehow it expects to react with more restraint or decade. now we heard from caleb earlier, who said that france hasn't confirmed the reason why president microns pulled out of addressing the un this time around. the timing though, i'm going to shoot a few people are going to be squinting with suspicion here just how badly is franz taking its treatment by washington. i think crap, taking it very badly indeed. i mean, france feels as if it was step instead. in the back, francis frances reaction to the, to the office deal is a form or a form or a hospital for more openly angry than china's has been. and china is, is, is deeply upset. i mean, tramps, i feel for us there is no way for us to behave to,
5:15 pm
to america's oldest allied by the way, a country. and so, you know, gave, you know, help give the united states, birth and 70 and the 17 seventy's. and so it's that taken a back, it's reeling from the, from the u. s. response and really know what, what, what to do about this, this, this, you know, transit atlantic alliance. so call a bite and also hailed america's capabilities in taking on terrorists around the globe. who is going to tend to for this now that because that up until now, america, when it's barked on those anti terror adventures, it can turn to its allies and beckon them over and they will come running, enjoy it in. but after the cut and run in afghanistan of the way, france has been treated over the submarine deal, who's gonna help? well, that the, the us will be able to draw some support from, from europe and from, from, from britain, certainly. but in his, in his act, august 31st speech about the, the announcing the, the,
5:16 pm
the completion of the withdrawal from afghanistan biden says that, that, that terrorism is metastasized across the globe. so us anti terrorist measures is so affective. why is the problem spread it? and biden brags in the us, that the u. s. can i can, can, can strike at the financial sources for, for groups like alcohol, isis, but everyone knows, everyone knows it's act biden himself admitted that it's america's allies in the middle east, namely saudi arabia and the, and the gulf states who are they who provide groups like, ok, guy with financial support. these are the, the overwhelming sources of financial support for these groups. biden admitted that in 2014, at a speech at harvard. it's always good to get your thoughts on these things to in new york. daniel is journalist and also thanks for joining us to talk about the jo
5:17 pm
biden's 1st you in ga address. thank you. ok, we're heading to germany where police arrested a man who allegedly took 2 people hostage on a tourist bus in the state of the barrier. in the southeast, the hostage takers been identified as a passenger who took to drive as hostage on a highway in the southern german region. and negotiating team pressed for the man to release the victims police and intervened stopped the vehicle and arrested the man. i would have said that the hostage take had a gun, but it's unclear whether he actually did and no motive as yet, has been revealed. the central russian city of param this morning, the victims of a mass shooting at its top university. 6 people were killed, 4 of the major 20, and under a more than 2 dozen or a dozen, others were injured. a warning that you might find the following video, disturbing security recordings have been released to showing students inside the
5:18 pm
university building running for their lives as the attack of walks in. he wounds the security guard, then shoot him a 2nd time as the guard lies defenceless. on the floor, the gunman, dressed in black, then stepped over the turnstile to continue his mass killing. meanwhile, the memorials been set up where hundreds of already paid their respects to the victims. among them the woman whose daughter was severely wounded in the attack. with little short film the shot hit my daughter in the back when she was running away, she saw him and started running it, hit her in the back, she had to have a kidney removed. she'll be transported to more school. she received 1st aid. god bless those people and we got lucky in comparison to others. she was a little behind her group. they managed to walk themselves inside a classroom. parents should be aware of what they kids are doing. this is what i'm talking about. how is it possible? his parents didn't see he got all that stuff at home. friends laughing thought it was a joke. what's that about?
5:19 pm
the show, the city is still really from what's happened here. throughout the night. hundreds of people gathered a make shift and memorial here, bringing flowers to honor. the memory of the deceased. being diversity is closed now it's campus has been sealed off by the police with investigation. of course, in full swing, no one except for those who live in the student dormitory behind these fans are allowed. inside. now were stayed standing in front of an entrance where the gunman broke in. the attacker is believed to have initially gone down a security guard to make his way into the campus. now let's recap some of the key moments from yesterday's shooting. ah, i
5:20 pm
know i didn't hear the shot, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already got that turns out that we had 1015 minutes. sonya we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually can be a building next time we are in the 1st building, turned out that it was this little saved us today. ah, me. the suspect was identified as an 18 year old freshman student at the university. he'd 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 and a helmet with a hunting rifle and ammunition wrapped around his body, stormed into the campus around 11 in the morning while students were in their
5:21 pm
classes, some of the students and teachers barricaded in their classrooms. others were seen jumping out a window was trying to flee the carnation. 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 met. i should 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 now. i've heard various rumors and still don't know what to believe. i work away on contract, come to come around once a year, sometimes more, sometimes less and last saw my son around april or may. nothing could have prepared me for the one. when i 1st heard about the incident, i went into shock and i still haven't recovered from what he suspected of doing.
5:22 pm
when he lived with his mother, we've been 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 fee basis. he hasn't even finished his 1st month. well, as you can imagine, this was nightmare, especially for those who was 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 of that are willing like school to us. we were touring university, new hardware had arrived and we spend more time on it and planned. so my next class was due at 11 30 am, but we said a bit longer. and there's 3 minutes actually saved off because everything happened just outside the door. we were all late, one of my students left earlier to be in time and she was injured and she's in hospital right now, but my team and i got lucky stuff have instructions on what to do and everything moved on as per instructions and our training to summarize,
5:23 pm
there are 2 rules running case for fire. barricade yourself in as a terrorist attack. of course, 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 then advice like high trees, who apparently hadn't noticed anything odd about this quiet young man. so that would be mass shooter. got a firearms license in accordance with russian laws, and probably this is an area of legislation that is going to be revised in by authorities in the near future. now, what's crystal clear about this strategy to do 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 campus. one of them quickly ran into the attacker who
5:24 pm
opened fire that officer constantly colleen 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. and i can say the same about the city though, as the per miss. still trying to come to terms with the new mer that's just happened. the british foreign office says someone rushes 2nd highest diplomat in london to discuss the salisbury poisoning saga i was off the u. k. named a 3rd russian suspect in the 2018 poisonings which left 3 people critically ill. on one dead mosque of insists, london, using the incident to unjustifiably prussia, russia. you can afford to say they believe the new suspect works for russian military intelligence and allegation also level 3 years ago against 2 key suspects, named as alexander, petrov, and roseland bush year of also on tuesday, the european court of human rights rule that the kremlin is responsible for the
5:25 pm
murder of alexander, the financial, and ex security service officer who the court claims died of clothing and poisoning . moscow is always denied any involvement in the 2006 death given earlier discuss these developments with correspondent alia patricia, starting with the salisbury case. according to u. k. police, his name is dennis sergei as 50 years old, and the believe that he's a very serious man there. calling him a major general working for russia is foreign intelligence service. and it is claimed that mister sir gave was in charge of the entire alleged mission to murder, former double agent surrogate script ball. even though as the prosecutors are saying, the investigators found that mister sure gave remain in london during his entire stay in the u. k. one and has authorize the charges against the man, but formerly he cannot be charged before he's arrested. the scruple case made huge
5:26 pm
headlines, you know, in britain most people knew about it, but around the world, reminders and little bit about it. it's a complicated case and we will have to go back to march 2018 when russian born served a script ball who had been working as a spy for russia. but i'm actually turned into a double agent at that time. he felt severely ill in salisbury, along with his daughter, and soon after that london, together with some of its western allies, began accusing russia of poisoning mister script ball and the cold that an attempt to murder the man. and it was claimed that to washing nationals using the names alexander petroff and wu salon, the sheer of when to saw was very and used. a nerve agent called navi shock to allegedly get rid of mr. script ball. and eventually the 2 men gave an interview toward channel in which they said that they were not involved in any kind of wrong
5:27 pm
doing. and that they had only gone to the u. k, as tourists. moscow kept asking for evidence and also kept saying that they were keen to cooperate, to join efforts to investigate this difficult case. however, when u. k. officials kept blatantly refusing to cooperate and they kept refusing to provide any kind of evidence to the russian officials. moscow began blaming london for using this case as a political tool to demonize russia internationally. so here's what the foreign ministry spokeswoman marie, as a harbor said on tuesday about this juniors or bullet drugs when they leave for over 2 and a half years. the british authorities have used the incident salisbury to deliberately complicate bilateral type, despite repeated appeals from russia, along with coal for sponsible dialog, london is still refusing to have
5:28 pm
a substantial discussion, enjoined investigation into the incident where and i want to remind you here, the russian citizen suffered, coincidentally, with the u. k. police announcement on tuesday, the european court of human rights ruled that russia was responsible for another killing. that was of former by alexander live in ankle, which dates back to 2006. what's new than that's been brought up to make headlines? well, to be honest with you, there really isn't anything new in that conclusion by the european court of human rights, because it almost entirely echoes what we heard from the british authorities before . but the story of alexander live in a co 15 years ago. it was a massive one all over the headlines. and it was really something that caused big cracks in london, moscow relations and took the u. k. investigators 10 years to roll that kremlin,
5:29 pm
quote, unquote, probably approved the killing of alexander live in a go. who was a spy for russia, but then became a british citizen. the investigation found that to was national is one of them. a for k g b bodyguard? deliberately poisoned mister, let ben ankle in london by adding polonium to his drake. so now the european court of human rights has ruled that there with initial evidence that nice to washing nationals that i mentioned acted as agents of the russian state. now, in response to that, the russian foreign ministry today has said that the decisions of the european court of human rights are becoming increasingly russo phobic granite. william. here's more evidence that the european court of human rights is positioning itself as an international. traditional authority is trying to play political role and due
5:30 pm
to cultivate an atmosphere. first with obie had become so popular in several western state. so that if there are any further international consequences of this, if there's any further reaction from any of the sides, i'll let you know and i'll help you get through it. ok that should use for now the kaiser reports next. ah. rather driven by shaped by those in me i think we dare to ask.
