Were going to meet you thanks for joining us here on r. T. Internet. 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 you have guinea man europe who lived in the Moscow Region killed an f s b officer before being shot dead himself another officer later died in hospital 5 other people including one civilian were injured investigation into possible motives is still ongoing we spoke to the suspects neighbors and father. He became very secretive and also got some kind of strange accent he used to tell me that he liked shooting and even wanted to get a sports rank become a most all sports team where he worked he replied in the Emirates Embassy as a sick. God though 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 died or you east 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 with those in your house and the reason 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 now know is what weve been finding out now from the media. There are reports the russian Investigative Committee has searched the home of the suspect and interviewed his family and friends heres a reminder of how the attack unfolded. With you to meet at the end with her and 3 sounds we needed here realize that we should hide then we heard someone in the street shouting go back go back. To those signals and youll listen when the man 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 out that im certain into pos and he told us the engine has had been dragged into the cafe. 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 quarterlies 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. Patients 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 mistook the 1st bursts of fire with well fireworks. I was sitting with my friends at a bar when the shooting began and 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 apparently caught 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. We spoke to russia analyst bottom accordion security expert for their thoughts on the attack. Nobody in his right mind would take an a k 47. 00. 10 to get into the bianca and start firing at the guards hes going to be killed he knew that he could have gone into a new restaurant and floated as many people as you like but that was not his objective he just wanted to kill those associated with the Security Services know the f. S. B. And if you killed one he would then say that. Which character 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 your moscow have slammed the latest u. S. Sanctions targeting Companies Involved in russias north stream to gas pipeline to germany alone to brussels say that america should mind its own business foreign minister Sergey Lavrov added russia will respond to washingtons big. Un convince the north stream to as well as turkey stream will be completed so extremists that for launch in just 2 or 3 weeks will respond to sanctions but in a way in which we will not harm ourselves but we will definitely respond of course we will keep in mind when developing our relations im surprised that politicians reach such decisions which give no credit to high profile political figures the German Government has regretfully taken into account that sanctions against north stream 2 and turks stream initiated by the us congress they think german and European Companies and are tantamount to interference in our Domestic Affairs the pipeline is being built from russia to germany through the baltic sea and will supply enough gas to power almost 30000000. 00 households. Sanctions target Companies Involved in building the last remaining leg of the pipeline the main swiss contractor is now pulled out of a washington stuff penalties and stream spokesperson told us think that completing the project is essential for European Energy security and says it will be finished as soon as possible the u. S. Has long voiced its 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 pipeline 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 your Energy Supplies to be defended. And ukraine seem to found a solution to their dispute over Energy Supplies they had disagreed on a contract that allows moscow to send gas to europe ukraine the 2 have come to a settlement. Agreement is designed to maintain gas transit between moscow and kiev for the next 5 years it also states russia will pay ukraine almost 3000000000. 00 to settle a long running dispute in return kiev will drop legal action against moscow former u. S. Diplomat jim generous and member of Germanys Left Party be gentle for soli believe americas approach is souring relations with europe. When they say oh this will cut cut ukraine out of the transit they will they will get less money but 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 of any transit seize is that if that would be make it more difficult to put pressure on russia by having a puppet ukrainian hand on the lawn to speak it 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 people below people in washington damage to the german American Relations is down and. The idea that america is consciously imposing extra china extraterritorial sanctions to pad the German Economy to 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 u. S. Government. U. K. Promise schools in the firing line this week after parents were angered by changes to the wording of traditional Christmas Carols like old Promise School in the southeast of england has with acted several carols replacing for example little old with a baby boy jesus critics say the change is a myth the whole point of celebration and some parents have 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 the 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 as in jesus to put it very simply but what christmas is about. The school says it promotes British Values including tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs its defended the move by saying some students didnt attend last Years Service because of their religious beliefs and it wants to include all peoples during the festive period discussed the issue with to india from christine concern and social commentator mo answer. The key message 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 our degree 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 a nativity where is mary jesus a baby jesus and all the question of that is not decided on in a stable which isnt true i think that such the parents of the fix or composition i think they could cover walks 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 lord i cant even go watch 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 sign of it another person is to be made for that and 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 i. Collective worship is holy or broadly of a christian tradition but it doesnt have to be particular the question is not whether they did all those out thats not the classical to opt out no none of that the question you know you just dont see the cost of the presenter is whether you should share your word and if its not what a people should opt out if one agrees that theyre not out of what belgium says my only reason i dont have one place is not a question of my see whether she and i use the word of traditional carols to remove to keep a leaf of christianity and turn it into 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 you know migrants i mean when you have a situation that was a christianity or not you say sure it is not welcome youre saying belief and saying is this going so much as i paces Ulysse Gosset although we can see all of what hes doing then followers will say thats of christianity youre the one thats being intolerant here because youre saying they shouldnt saying the word one says it all thats the its all an attitude here or the best stories from this week here in the weekly just a few minutes. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president im sure. Thats. Actually going to be close thats what the 43 in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of how. Things should be. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only. Exists i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. This week the russian president helped design your q. And a session with journalists from home and abroad the event took place in moscows will trade center run for more than 4 hours theyve been fielding questions on both domestic and International President ial terms in russia on the impeachment of donald trump among the key issues right. George what could be done is to cancel the 2 in a row amendment we have 2 terms in a row yours truly sort of 2 terms then resigned and had the constitutional right to return to the presidency because it was not up to attorneys and you know wrote them that it will be amended and confuses some of our political scientists and public figures so it could be counted on much. Its just a continuation of political infighting one party that lost the election of the Democratic Party is working with a result through other methods accusing trump of collusion with russia but then its discovered that there was no inclusion that cant be the basis for impeachment and i see now theyve come up with pressure on ukraine if i dont know whats there in your representatives have a better rightly. So 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 treat english accordingly but i know what the interests of my country are and that it doesnt matter at all what anyone else in there is absolutely you know where you are 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. Fresh doubts a big cast over the credibility of the International Chemical weapons watchdog the o. P. C. W. More leaked emails published by wiki leaks for field concerns from yet another member of the team that investigated an alleged attack on the ground in the syrian city of duma last year he says the followers bought 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 response the United States and its nato allies france and the k a quick to conduct strikes against Syrian Military targets the biggest western military action of the 8 year war the c. W. Later deployed experts to do more to investigate their subsequent report pin the blame on the Syrian Government our Senior Correspondent brian because the it 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 out on 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 to cool right there 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 team 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 and advised all relevant persons of this shouldnt have bothered it seems no one wanted to read it 48 hours later the u. P. C. W. Published its 1st report and sutherland had to 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 isnt findings the conclusions appear to have been turned completely in the opposite direction now that we can exist. Published what the preliminary report looked like heres what the u. P. C. W. Deleted one evidence that contradicted witness testimony meaning what the alleged witnesses said this wildly from the hard evidence found by inspectors to the fact that the hospital videos which shocked the world will think the victims were 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 facts what the u. P. C. W. Did is akin to saying you found radioactive materials in someones house without mentioning it was a tiny amount used in far 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 that both cylinders were money placed at those 2. 00 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 high. 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 worlds save 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 top of that a former newsweek reporter claimed he quit the magazine editors scrapped a story that question the chemical attack investigation the magazine says that the piece was tops because it was a Conspiracy Theory and not objective reporting we spoke to the journalist explained why reporters should not be exploited to justify war was a bit disturbed. You know i wasnt really given any valid reasons other than the link i had refused to decide to call unlike 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 that are reporting on this so i would say this a complete failure of the media our job as journalists are 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 and no one is reporting it then were not doing our job as journalists. Think about it today. In the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of Northern Ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks particularly catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes a mob was striking to put these attacks was a p. R. You see the Police Actually took part in the attacks so instead of presenting they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the plague more than a 100 innocent civilians women ludovic as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currents which the solution was involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named goodwin and were getting i think it went to the very very top i think if the phones crossed the water where politicians you thought was going on and give the go ahead. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. Directly. What is true what is faith. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maybe in the shallows. Hello and welcome to well to part running like rats in a maze in pursuit of yet more great things has long become a matter for for the more than lifestyle which more often than not results in the failure of success and the scarcity of abundance what happens when the rats stop running and even try to leave the main well to discuss that im now joined by Gary John Bishop by New York Times bestselling author and a life coach gary its good to talk to you thank you very much for your time yeah great thanks for having me now is the 1st time on this show that i cannot side the titles of the books because theyre peppered with the expletives except for your latest one called do their work i know how much you care about language as a means of selfexpression what was the reason for using the before its in your 1st 2 titles and defying that habit with the latest one yeah well you know thats just basically the way that i talk i really wanted to write a book that was an authentic expression of me i didnt want to do something that was just designed to sell books you know i wanted to do some that willy was my voice so the titles of the books just you know normal to me doesnt mean that at this point in your life youre relying on the expletives a little bit less than before well. You know a long time ago. Somebody said theres a big difference between being in trouble and being a bleep in trouble and you know it it really can a resonated with me i really got like theres a theres a seriousness about our lives that i think occasionally a little explicit expletive or 2 helps to can i really point to the can a gravity of what were dealing with and a lives so you know im on a by the by the occasional curse word now in your books you project this image of a nob. S. Guy and yet you cite a lot of philosophers including one of the forefathers of modern linguistics flew to quicken stein who is famous for his thinking on how the limits of our language is sad the limits of our worlds and not only him in a broad cultural sense but also in everyday life the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and about others thats essentially what your 1st book after yourself is all about isnt it yeah well you know you could put 10 people in a room
