Are they welcome the latest news and look back at the last 7 days to watch in the weekly here on r. T. International now Russias Investigative Committee has released the identity of the gunman who opened fire outside the headquarters of the federal Security Service building in central moscow on thursday evening the shooter was 39 year old youve gani minute of who lived in the Moscow Region he killed in f. S. B. Officer before being shot dead himself another officer died later in hospital 5 other people including one civilian were injured the investigation into possible motives is still ongoing we spoke to the suspects neighbors and father. But lately he became very secretive and also got some kind of strange eastern accent used to tell me that he liked shooting and even wanted to get a sports rank become a more star or sports team where he worked he replied in the Emirates Embassy as a Security Guard but i do not know if it is true he was a very calm guy and then somehow the change started growing his beard maybe it happened of the his grandmother. Hes a lawyer worked somewhere in moscow he comes from a good family mother grandmother he was a good man he was always very polite attentive i cant say anything bad about him i cant believe whats happened. In your house and he wasnt aggressive very calm quite quiet he was lonely no friends no girlfriend we found out about his hoby by accident he invited my husband to join him at a shooting range when he refused the topic was never raised again although we know is what weve been finding out now from the media. Reports to the russian Investigative Committee has searched the home of the suspect and also interviewed his family and friends has reminded then of her son folded at the scene of the shooting. Well usually means if the when we heard 3 sounds we needed him to realize that we should hide then we heard someone in the street shouting go back go back. Go signals and youll listen when the man who wasnt shooting randomly and i think we heard him shout out something but we didnt manage to make out what he was shouting at. Them when im with them in the city in a basement were watching now when a guy came man whod just been outside and he told us there was a shooting Alchemy Center and into the possum he told us the intricacies had been trotted into. The f. S. B. Building is just to the left of me and the whole thing happened at around half past 6 in the evening right on the opposite side of this main f. S. B. Building of this f. S. B. Had quarter according to an unconfirmed video which we can show you right now the alleged shooter took his position between behind one of the columns right again on the opposite side of this building he took aim armed with an Assault Rifle and he opened fire it seemed that he was specifically targeting f. S. B. Offices coming out of the building this is the heart of moscow its the very center of the russian capital its a trendy and hip area with plenty of buzz cafes and restaurants so at 6 oclock it wasnt just the end of the work shift wasnt just the end of the work they wasnt just people leaving their offices offices out on the streets but also plenty of people just out and about plenty of tourists i mean if you just look over their christmas decks. Agents are already up here so people were doing their Christmas Shopping theres a St Regis Hotel right across the street from me so there were literally hundreds of people out and about on this square and they were terrified by the shooting but initially many of them were confused because with christmas right around the corner many of them is still the 1st burst of fire with well fireworks. I was sitting with my friends at a bar when the shooting began it was the sound of a kalashnikov Assault Rifle i know what it sounds like my friends were like oh it must be firecrackers but i told them no way its not firecrackers and then we saw people running down the street it was scary at 5 or 10 minutes past 6 the gunfire began and it was not just a few shots it came in bursts we saw officers taking cover behind the cars. Left work met up with my girlfriend and when we heard some dull sounds in the distance i thought at 1st it was fireworks or some firecrackers but as the sound continued we realized something was wrong Traffic Police who were and because thats good bridge as usual began evacuating people they barely got on to what was going on people started running we heard the gunfire plenty of details are missing right now no more official information as as of yet we do know that the russian president is being kept in the loop of this attack right here in the heart of moscow you know she donna there we spoke to russia analyst martin accordion or so security expert charles bridge for their thoughts on the it. Nobody in his right mind would take an a k 47. 00. 10 to get into the early bianca and start firing at the guards hes bound to be killed he knew that he could run into any restaurant and floated as many people as you like but that was not his objective he just wanted to kill those associated with the secret service is now the f. S. B. And if you killed one blue he would then say they have achieved my objective because i would be killed as well given that the target appears to have been dispiriting obviously so publicly linked with the Security Services in the state and given the timing on the almost at the anniversary of. The Security Forces day. Be quite strong indications as to the motivation assuming that the government is a rational actor had this attack i think taken place against a more soft target which is usually the case with more explicit or overt terrorist acts then you would have expected i think far more casualties to have resulted. In moscow have slammed the latest u. S. Sanctions targeting Companies Involved in russias north gas pipeline to germany are the kremlin stresses washington has broken diplomatic etiquette once again early in brussels say that a nato ally should mind its own business were looking very closely at the us crossing a crucial edge of Foreign Policy as it starts imposing sanctions which russia has already become accustomed to against its own allies we can see the intention to make europe buy american liquefied gas and thus to slow the development of the continents economy to undermine its capability of competing with the u. S. In the Global Markets washington has decided that even the closest nato allies dont deserve mercy if the u. S. Geo political and commercial ambitions are at stake. The German Government has regretfully taken into account that sanctions against north stream to turks stream initiated by the us congress the effect german and European Companies and tantamount to interference in our Domestic Affairs or the pipeline is being built from russia to germany through the baltic sea will supply enough gas to power almost 30000000 households the sanctions to target Companies Involved in building the last remaining leg of the pipeline and the main swiss contract has now pulled that over washingtons tough penalties in order strings Spokes Person told r. T. That completing the project is essential for European Energy security and says that the work will be finished as soon as possible the u. S. Has long voiced his opposition to the project the United States commands all our European Partners whove taken a strong stand against north stream to. And we commend others to do the same germany is totally controlled by russia because they were getting from 60 to 70 percent of their energy from russia and a new player in this pipeline if completed would make europe even more dependent on Russian Energy would generate billions of dollars for putin billions of dollars that would follow on Russian Military aggression. We dont want europes Energy Supplies to be depended on flatter me or putin meanwhile russia and ukraine the same to found Common Ground over the question on friday the 2 sides agreed to produce cooperation on gas transit the new agreement is supposed to maintain gas transit between moscow and kiev for the next 5 years it also states today that russia will pay you crying almost 3000000000. 00 to settle a long running dispute which in turn will lead to kiev dropping a legal case against moscow for us to put much into trusts and jim and Left Party Member b. N. To the sole east by say americas approach is souring relations with europe ain allies when they say oh this will cut cut ukraine out of the transit they will they will get less money we really think they care about ukraine they will carry by ukraine a lot and the only reason they would be concerned about re ukraine being cut out or going to transit is that it that would be what make it more difficult to put pressure on russia by having a puppet ukrainian hand on the obama spigot with regard to europes a gash you know that is no longer the case and all were really talking about is ukraine being included in a more cooperative relationship between europe and russia thats the worst possible outcome from the point of view of people in washington damage to the german American Relations is down and. The idea that america is consciously imposing extra charity extraterritorial sanctions to have the German Economy it hurt the german consumers is now firmly implanted into germanys minds from the left to the right that is absolutely outraged by the actions of the us government. British Primary School was in the firing line this week after parents were angered by changes to the wording of traditional Christmas Carols white hole Primary School in the south east of england has redacted several carols replacing for example little lord with baby boy jesus critics say though the changes omitted the whole point of the celebration some parents too reacted negatively. If he was just a baby boy named jesus there wouldnt be a celebration in the 1st place hes our lord and savior and king of all kings thats the whole point its also a tradition is taking away the traditions of the country i believe my children have been discriminated against and they have been denied the freedom to fully express their Faith Christian belief and tradition of being 2nd feist and silenced in the name of inclusion and Political Correctness the words lord jesus are about the central message of christmas which is that god is with us in jesus to put it very simply but its what christmas is about the school in question says it promotes British Values including tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs its defended the move by saying too that some students did not attend last Years Service because of their religious beliefs and the school wants to include all pupils during the festive period we discussed the issue with him peace from Christian Concern and also with the social commentator my answer. Christianity and the whole reason why we celebrate Christian Christmas is because jesus was born as a human being and yet it was god as well and came down and its an incredible thing to think that god became a human being but thats what actually happened and thats what were celebrating here and they wanted to remove that reference as well as jesus being king and jesus being savior if we dont have those things what are we celebrating i think its a massive distortion lets be quite clear jesus wasnt god he was odd agreed from a theological perspective not agree he was a mighty messenger a prophet there is very little theological evidence the public space and the educational space is one which is secular it does not mean it is bereft of theology or education of belief or conscience but is inclusive of it so if we want to have Standing Advisory Councils of religious education that include all strains of all walks of life of humanism as well and atheism are people who want to come in there with so of more free n. G. s they are included nowadays and the question is whether children should be free to opt out from an itty bitty whereas mary jesus a baby jesus and all the question is not decided on in a stable which isnt true but i think that such the parents of the think still composition i think they could come a watch if they wanted to theyre really so upset about people saying jesus or that they have to not even be in the same presence theres something to talk about there why are they so upset about people saying jesus is lord i cant even go on walks and observe it you know and so i think i want to discuss that with them but ultimately i want to respect their rights if they want to opt out of it they cannot sound of it another person should be made for that the head teacher has seen that she has had 60 people who last year opted out from religious services worshipful activities and under the education act collective worship is wholly or broadly of a christian tradition but it doesnt have to be a particular question is not whether they did i was out thats not a commercial you want to opt out no none of that the question you know you just dont see the cost of the question is whether you should tell us the wording if its not what people should opt out everyone agrees that theyre not out. Well i will just as my only reason i dont i want to say please is not a question at my see whether she and i use the word of traditional carols to remove to keep a leaf of christianity and 10 and to something thats nonchristian after all thats the question islam is best is the completion of gods revelation we are not here to supersede christians we have to live alongside people and one another and in a modern Secular Society in the educational space we need to have a plural system where everybody is welcome this is the same old tired arguments that some so. How do i know you know migrants i mean when you have a situation that was a christianity or not you say sure she is not welcome you saying belief and 2nd is the one so much as i. Said although i would say all of what i did to you then i will say thats of christianity youre the one thats being intolerant here because youre saying they shouldnt saying the word was this is a law thats the its all an attitude here so to come on the weekly a series of chilling sketches produced by an mit kuantan and i have shed light on how the cia had tortured prisoners well have a look at that story for starters today just after the break. The world is driven by a dream shaped by the person that there is greater. Than. The dares thinks. We dare to ask. You know world big part of the law and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Welcome back now this week the russian president held his annual q. And a session with journalists from home and abroad event took place in moscow will trade center run for over 4 hours and im at peace and fielding questions on both domestic and International Affairs with president ial terms in russia i mean pinch me to donald trump among the key issues right. Storm wasnt will be easy or what could be done is to cancel the 2 in a row amendment we have 2 terms in a row yours truly served 2 terms then resigned and had the constitutional right to return to the presidency because it was not 2 terms in a row and the amendment confuses some of our political scientists and public figures so it could be counseled much. Its just a continuation of political infighting one party that lost the election of the Democratic Party is working for results through other methods accusing trump of collusion with russia but then its discovered that there was no collusion that cant be the basis for impeachment now theyve come up with pressure on ukraine i dont know whats there your representatives have a better idea. That i was girls or as for statements from certain people various political figures about russia about me as the head of the country i have been used to treating this accordingly but i know what the interests of my country are and that it doesnt matter at all what anyone else says there is absolutely no value in comparing what they say with the fundamental tasks which russia is interested in solving congratulations to Boris Johnson nevertheless he turned out to be the winner he understood the mood of the british People Better than his political opponents but it. Had been cast over the credibility of the International Chemical weapons watchdog the a p c w or leaked emails published by wiki leaks reveal concerns from yet another member of the taking the probed and alleged attack on the ground in the syrian city of during the last year he says the final report into the incident suppressed and distorted their findings. The Fact Finding Mission report does not reflect the views of all the team members that deployed to doom or only one Fact Finding Mission team member a paramedic of the socalled Fact Finding Mission core team was in duma we are not insisting on being right in our assertions but we are demanding to be heard we have been stonewalled throughout by obfuscation exclusion and even thuggish bullying behavior the alleged chemical attack in april last year reportedly killed dozens of civilians in response the United States and its nato allies france and u. K. Were quick to conduct airstrikes against Syrian Military targets the biggest western military action of the 8 year war p. C. W later deployed experts to the scene to investigate and their subsequent report pin the blame on the Syrian Government our Senior Correspondent not against he has been looking at the revelations. I dont know about the 3 little piglets but the o. P. C. W is having its house blow right down from the inside the 1st whistle blower they dismissed the 2nd they sort of excuse themselves and now in what is an absolute bombshell their most qualified inspector the f f m report does not reflect the views of all the team members that deployed to duma i found that i was being excluded from the work for reasons not made clear allegedly the only team member who went to syria and there was allowed her cool right this syria report was the team paramedic and of the chemical inspectors were allowed to pitch in i attempted to submit my report to the f. M. Team leader whos starting from the 15th of february 29th teen after noting continued reluctance from the f f m team to receive my report i deposited the report in d r a for collection on the 27th of february 29th teen and advised all relevant persons of this shouldnt have bothered. Seems no one wanted to read it 48 hours later the u. P. C. W. Published its 1st report and someone had a really taken a razor to it so much so that the actual team that went to syria didnt recognize it the consensus within the f. M. Team was that there were indications of serious inconsistency eason findings the conclusions appear to have been turned completely in the opposite direction now that we can exist publish what the preliminary report looks like heres what the u. P. C. W. Deleted one evidence that contradicted witness testimony meaning what the alleged witnesses said deferred wildly from the hard evidence found by inspectors to the fact that the hospital videos which so shocked the world will think the victims all actors the spade symptoms inconsistent with chlorine poisoning or poisoning with anything found at the scene 3 and this is the big one in the final report they found chlorine not how much just chlorine which you can fire did your kitchen in any home in any Swimming Pool maybe youre right what about removing trace or some other wording may work im still worried that a stock standard phrase such as chlorine containing compounds were detected or similar present the danger of it being misrepresented as a damning conclusion its a political word smithing situation not purely technical and it was the anti acid war hawks trumpeted the fact what the o. P. C. W. Did is akin to saying you found radioactive materials and someones house without mentioning it was a tiny amount used in fire alarms and this on top of previous whistleblower revelations hard math cast doubt that the canisters at the scene were ever dropped their observations of the scene of the 2 locations suggest that there is a higher probability. Lity for both cylinders were money placed at those 2 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft it all began with Ian Henderson when he 1st blew the whistle he was mocked smeared insulted u. P. C. W. Claimed he wasnt even part of the team they lied leaked documents clearly show he was working for the u. P. C. W. Shame on the o. P. C. W. You are aware of the highly questionable behavior surrounding this f f m we as others in the team who would like to but are unable are questioning the work practices follow during this investigation this is more than a rebellion this is a catastrophe for the u. P. C. W a best this is a case of gross negligence worse than i pray im wrong this is corruption corruption in the very organization that supposed to keep the world safe from chemical weapons either way from now on when the o. P. C. W. Says something people are going to be thinking twice before taking their word for it well on top of that a former news week reporter did claim that he quit the magazine when editors scrapped his story that question the chemical attack investigation the magazine says it was dropped because it was a Conspiracy Theory and not objective reporting we did speak to the journalist he explained why reporters should not be exploited to justify war. It was a bit disturbed. You know i wasnt really given any valid reasons other than i have a few to decide to call. A certain or source to be trusted in my opinion. And then finally what kind of happened as i was i kept pushing to try and do the story because i feel like its of extreme you know Public Interest the attacks on me these organizations have taken a long time for us to get here in terms of a historical point of view when we shouldnt be weaponized in them to kind of create the Public Opinion needed to go to war at the moment there are very few western well mainstream western journalists are reporting on this so i would say this complete failure of the media our job is john the start to hold governments to account and if governments are going to war on false premises then you know we have good evidence to suggest that now im no one is reporting it then were not doing our job as journalists. Series of chilling sketches produced by an emetic lantana and i have been published in a report called america tortures pictures show the socalled enhanced interrogation techniques used against abu zubaida between 20022005 he was captured at if you had say facts in pakistan in 2002 and was then sent to a socalled cia black sites in thailand and his drawings relate to alleged torture there was then transferred to Guantanamo Bay where he is still being held without charge he was the 1st person to be subjected to the brutal Interrogation Program which was approved by the administration of george w. Bush and has since been acknowledged by the cia is a quick overview of what happened. As soon as they locked me up inside the box i tried my best to sit up but in vain for the box was too short i tried to take a curled position but to no avail for it was too tight a very strong pain made the screen unconsciously. They kept pouring water and concentrating on my nose and my mouth until i really felt i was drowning and my chest was just about to explode from the lack of oxygen. And. The long hours went by while i was standing in that position by hands were tight to the upper bars. It felt like an eternity to the point that i found myself falling asleep despite the water being thrown at me by the guard. And my colleagues you know neal spoke to the inmates lawyer he says the u. S. Isnt transparent when it comes to how. Detainees are treated has he suffered any lasting physical psychological damage or result of the torture. Well you know he must you know anybody would but its ive visited him d 67 times a year really isnt and its really quite hard to see. That americas years in the midst of adjustments because of what techniques were used on him the waterboarding may have produced some problems. The fact is they were used on him for 17 straight he did it is. They care row didnt want to. Believe hes not going to face any charges he has not faced any charges then the clear issue is here why is he being kept for so long in kuantan him obey. Like it is yes or is theres no question that for 17 years hes never been charged ive represented for 10 years weve asked repeatedly for him to d be charged with crimes and that is very frustrating but they do it in c. And in the cia it is in the United States. As far as he was never a member or d nothing to do. d or ever and terrorist d acts whats the purpose all that when its been shown to to essentially fail to yield Accurate Information from many suspects so i think it failed to. Produce Accurate Information from almost anybody splits certainly the seal to attract any to obtain any accurate its rubbish throws a bit of
