New stations. Starting midday here in moscow on this friday thanks for joining us this is r. T. International we do begin this hour with breaking news. To a school injuring six people including a teacher in eastern siberia lets get details now on joining us live here in the studio understand the details are still coming in but whats the latest you can tell us about the incident well started around nine thirty am local time this morning when a classroom full of seventh graders. Thrown into that classroom and when they tried to flee the classroom that was of course on fire at that point there was at least one attacker waiting out in the hall with an axe and attacked those students and the teachers who were running out and the school was immediately evacuated. And the fire was quickly put out at this point a criminal case has been opened into the incident as well and as far as i understand there have been conflicting reports about the a taco or attacker and thats right thats right and of course thats not unusual in chaotic incidents such as this but local officials earlier said came out saying that there were three attackers involved in the incident and that they came to school with masks on meanwhile the Russian Investigative Committee has always said that there was one and that he is in custody other reports have said that there were two attackers so thats still something that were following closely and whats interesting to note is that one eyewitness of the attack did say that the attacker in fact warned of his plans lets take a listen. To the girl said she received a text message from the boys to mattel the school that she should not go to class morning that there will be command into the costs and inflicted injuries supposed three School Children and a teacher who the next a child received a blow to the face and the other one was struck on the back and another girl lost something. And that employee of the school wasnt alone and having heard this threat of there will be blood we can show you a screen shot right now of a mother whose child heard through the grapevine the same idea there will be blood on friday and of course thats a promise that this attack clearly made good on according to initial reports there are at least six people injured the seventh grade students and the female teacher all of whom have been taken to the hospital at least two are still in Critical Condition its also been reported that the attacker himself try to inflict some sort of injuries on himself possibly even go as far as commit suicide at the scene but he was stopped detained and is in Police Custody in hospital and as far as i understand this is the Second Attack on a school this week sadly in just this monday in the russian city of perm a stabbing took place where an eleventh grader and a former student entered the Building Armed with knives and dozens of people were injured a second look at what happened there. On the on the children screaming very loudly we were scared at first we thought it was a joke but then we realized it was serious thought there might have been a fire or a bomb we ran i saw three little children covered in blood honestly it was horrible blood was spilling from heads from necks absolutely horrible. Some guys told me that two youngsters in mosques run into the classroom teacher and start to stop being kids then one of them jumped out of the window trying to escape another cat running trying to injure the children and hit him so. So we have these two Violent Attacks happening at schools in the span of five days and the motives are unknown at this point but investigators are looking into the possibility that they could actually be connected. Thank you. And you know in germany which combats hate speech online is making headlines again thats after the facebook account of a member of the right wing alternative for Germany Party was blocked and follows cole for people to join a womens march against a rape and killings perpetrated by migrants in the country i organized a womens march through the chancery almost every day we read about how we create the magnet of lehman the more women come the more pressure it will put in america and politicians from the old parties together let us take to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and some determination despite it belonging to a party known for its strong anti migrant rhetoric leyla billed as a womens and childrens rights activist regularly takes trips to syria and iraq to help people that in fact shes of migrant origin herself and was surprised at the official reason for her facebook ban. As an interface will come ashore on my travels with facebook started a few years ago facebook has a big issue with women of migrant background you can notice that i dont have a nordic look you can see that i am originally from the south here in germany i fight for human rights which isnt always easy in islamic countries people like me are silenced by facebook it says i have a certain popularity and quite a large following i was blocked for thirty days then my account was deleted but that wasnt the first time my accounts have now been purged four times and since i am a member of the air of d. Which in germany fires for womens rights i am a nuisance for facebook and the mainstream media. Was banned under the new law that forces social media to delete offensive content within twenty four hours of receiving a complaint otherwise Companies Face large fines earlier this month the deputy leader of the alternative for Germany Party saw her facebook and twitter account suspended after she criticized the countrys police for saying happy new year in arabic. Again says people who express their anger at migrant policies in germany are seeing their voices silenced online. This problem is you know the policy of the German Government and especially of the older parties is intended to help young men from islamic or african countries get settled in europe and to accept their religion and culture for this reason and german citizen who has lived here forever is being ignored and in the case of facebook or twitter it works like this they censor all critical statements even though they are consistent with the real situation of course it runs against the mainstream political line in germany for this reason they try to silence all critics of the German Governments asylum policy. Drug related crimes are becoming so bad on parts of the powers metro the train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations thats according to a letter written by a union which represents the Metro Bus Network in the capital. Charlotte do you jump on board to find out if these fears are well grounded. For most parisians the metro is a staple of life with its winding tunnels and lines that stretch across the city its often the easiest way to get from a to b. But down in the underground the gritty underbelly of the capital is being exposed drug related crime and violence has been a long standing issue paresis metro but now the unions representing the train drivers say it is spiraling out of control dealers including those taking crack cocaine a new god thing what theyve doing. Lighting up metro drivers is so fearful of attacks at some stations many are choosing to no longer stop there a survivor more force of im not pro quo is very dangerous and its terrifying if it can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives. Stations like marks dorm and market a year or especially troubled druggie says come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over for problem of. The problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters its even more dangerous they are targets of fast ive seen more than one hundred attacks take place within minutes of arriving if marks metro station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with a bag in hand he was the platform stopping and exchanging some packages with people and then he left with his bag empty this seems to be the new normal. There are lots of drug users and i think that with everything thats happening in the match though they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and everyone. Hes afraid for the security of my children. Twenty twenty five. Lived there weve weve weve heard of course. Been attacked just one time because. We had in the middle of the night is smart for. Playing with that problem because the press upon problem is the security robberies can happen sometimes its maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes too why ceasar man attack another young man. As we travelled through some of the most dangerous stations we saw Metro Security and police trying to crack down on the problem they succeeded in moving the sponge but in reality all theyve done is move the problem to another stop on to another day charlotte even ski r. T. Paris. One short statement from u. S. Military command has led to a broad uncomfortable situation for the white house the Trump Administration has been rapidly backpedaling on plans to create a border force with codes in Northern Syria after sparking a furious reaction from washingtons key ally turkey the secretary of state later tried to clarify the situation so in the u. S. Has no intention of creating a Border Security force in syria. Is he saying that when the pentagon says were going to try to come up with a force of thirty thousand people there thats long or is he just just feeling ok why would you have i would have to refer you to the department of defense on that i think they were clear in the statement that they put out so let me just refer you to them on that. Part but im asking about closing comments yesterday we said theres no Border Security force thats not thats not what it is like i dont have to refer you to the turkish government about what they became so concerned about and the fact that somebody misspoke and im not going to name any names and neither is the secretary but somebody clearly just misstated their policy its as simple as that. However the announcement how to ready threaten to create a new conflict in a war torn syria with turkey immediately dispatching tanks straight to its border. Now in turn kurds then took to the streets to protest against ankaras military actions and to denounce the ones remarks. Are free in will be aired the ones graveyard today hundreds of thousands are protesting to tell him that the people of our friend will never leave their land and. The International Community should send a message to turkey telling them to stop we have bought the white beach and so we can defend ourselves. We discussed the latest tensions between the u. S. And turkey with International Relations professor jamal wakim he believes were currently seeing our various stages of damage control set into motion is trying to limit the damage that was caused to the American Relations with this new american movie establishing this border that are to me under the pretext of protecting the border city and border with iraq and with thirty but i believe the main geopolitical objective here is for the United States to have such a good army in Eastern Syria that could ensure the United States. Foothold on syrian soil and prevent the Syrian Government from extending its control over the. North east part of syria as regional tensions between the two key allies worsen arties even to down off has been taking a closer look. The middle east has always proved a tough nut to crack for the United States hardly helping matters now though is lacking a unified game plan days ago the pentagon proudly announced it would create a socalled syrian Border Security force the coalition is working jointly with the Syrian Democratic forces to establish and train the new syrian Border Security force currently there are approximately two hundred thirty individuals training in the cynical class with the goal of a final four size of approximately thirty thousand but the u. S. Apparently forgot to run the idea past turkey for ankara Kurdish Military groups i terrorist factions its as clear cut as that and washingtons announcement drove turkey hopping mad shit. America has admitted that it has established a terrorist army at our border and its up to us to strangle that terror army at birth turkey power projected additional troops along with tanks to the southern border with syria and amid the spouse americas top diplomat Rex Tillerson intervened to save the day the entire situation has been mis portrayed mr scribed some people misspoke were not creating a Border Security force at all being a mouthpiece of u. S. Foreign policy these days is one hell of a job especially when you have to contradict your own military to keep a happy but arguably thats not to listens biggest brain wrench right now explaining why the u. S. Military is still in syria is first it was the we need to fight the terrorists mantra our military policy in syria has not changed our priority remains the defeat of isis socalled Islamic State has to all intents and purposes now been reduced to a ragtag of guerrilla fighters but surprise surprise its left to to listen to come up with a new purpose for the u. S. Military in syria it is crucial to our National Defense to mine carrying a military and diplomatic presence and sir. Stable unified independent syria under post assad leadership is functioning as a state. Iranian influence in syria is diminished. And as if life wasnt hard enough or to listen he has the tweeter in chief as hes president rex is a bit of a to run a saurus when it comes to social media but he tries to survive. I dont even have a twitter account but i can follow what hes tweeting so my staff usually has to print his tweets out and hand them to me. International we are back in just a moment. We have a great. Strength. To keep in the back. In one thousand nine hundred forty five. At the very last. One and im hoping to bring some of that spirit to the. Recently ive had a lot of practice. Since my last. Drive. Left more or less ok stop thats really. The u. S. Ambassador to the Un Nikki Haley said on wednesday the Trump Administrations policy in afghanistan is working and they are close to a Peace Process than ever before however the un recently reported itself almost half a Million People were displaced in afghanistan in twenty seventeen. Thats a show you some pictures from the latest pictures now from that war torn country. I think like you look at. The us powerfully on afghanistan is working. Just over the border we are all were victims of the bombing is ongoing our violence a lot of houses have been destroyed and several villages about sixty seven thousand displaced families are living in this camp. But im just. Going to. Work closer to talks with the taliban and the Peace Process than weve seen before like them get your money out as we were for the taliban and i said were fighting each other with them Government Forces launched a military operation against isis our houses were destroyed our livestock. This is. What. We do not want afghanistan to be a safe haven for terrorism anymore and so we continue to go down that path twenty one International Terrorist groups are operating in this country and dozens of suicide bombers are being sent we are under siege we do everything we can to combat terrorism. Really has to pretend that u. S. Policy is working because shes Loyal Follower of donald trump she cant say that Donald Trumps policy is not working his policy is very similar to obamas except to do is now sending another four thousand troops so soon there will be Something Like fourteen thousand u. S. Troops instead of money so thats a sign that the old policy wasnt working but its not at all clear that the new policy of sending more troops will work the trouble is that writers five or ten years ago the main opponents were the taliban and since then weve had people coming into the picture there was. I dont work there was good but then the third group thats come up in the last five years is i asked so i says theyve been conducting some very dramatic suicide bombings in kabul itself so that kabul itself has become much less safe than it used to be. For people who have filed a lawsuit against the city of berkeley in california and its university for injuries they claim they received during riots on the campus there last year the violence erupted over a speech set to be given at the university by a prominent conservative. We talked to katrina redell shaima who is taking legal steps against the university of berkeley she believes the compost on the citys police acted insufficiently during the protests but when that attack started ahead especially after i was pepper sprayed i was completely incapacitated there was nothing i could do to defend myself so i had no choice but to turn around and just face the barricade i was worried about what was happening to my husband it turned out he was just a few feet away from me being beaten worse than any of us he was beaten unconscious afterwards by the police both the city and the Campus Police were clearly inadequate given what happened then the injuries that were sustained what i saw personally it was police initially standing outside of the building that they later locked us out of i saw them there they acknowledged with a wave and by the time the attack actually started they were nowhere to be seen they had locked themselves inside the building and wouldnt give us any aid at all the university of california berkeley has declined to comment the lawyer representing the victims says they want to send a message to compost stuff and police to do a better job. The injuries caused to our clients two of which were beaten unconscious and still suffer from psychological disorders posttraumatic disorders so they are seeking money damages to compensate them for that but the main goal of this case is to send a message to Campus Police and campus universities that they they have to do their job you know i liken what happened here the deliberate effort to not intervene and to not do anything to fire a man watching a building on fire with their with their opposes water pouring out of them but theyre too afraid to go into the building because they might get hurt its the goal of Law Enforcement its the role of Law Enforcement i should say to serve and protect the public and they did not do that. Friday means football here on r. T. In the latest episode of his program Stan Collymore interviews the legendary sort of Spanish NationalTeam Defender and rail madrid captain heres a quick preview. Ok so that there. Is it important that russia have a good world called the team gets out of the group for the momentum of the tournament. I think that when one plays at home backed by their country one always has a higher responsibility it is a plus and gives extra motivation which will shine through i wish the russian team the best because when we have played there they have always given us a friendly reception but i only wish them well until we crossed paths if we ever do an elementary cristiana rinaldo portugal you spain first game of the world. A very interesting going to start. I believe its going to be a very exciting game and highly anticipated as well because it is a neighboring country i think they are the ones to beat because they are the current european champions and that will make it a really nice match to watch for football fans we hope to win because it is a very important to kick off the competition with a victory against the favorite.
