At least 3 people die and 100 to arrested in india as protests rage over a controversial citizenship told. About people stems in doha with all the baseboards russia is set to appeal its 4 year ban from school for doping offenses president Vladimir Putin says the sanctions are unfair and politically motivated. Has been a shooting in the heart of moscow near the headquarters of russias National Security service the f. S. B. At least one person has been killed and several others wounded and the f. S. B. Says the attacker has been killed lets go live now to step vast and hes at the scene in moscow so step what do we know so far about this. Well the road is now open but lots of questions remain after the obvious be confirmed that this shooting. Taken place here right at their headquarters and one of the f. S. B. Officers has been killed and also the attacker was shot they went completely silent and we have to remember that there were a lot of other unconfirmed reports that had very different readings of what exactly had happened there were also reports about attacks actually going inside the building portals of the obvious being something the average beat has been denying but there is a lot of speculation and a lot of questions about what exactly has happened here at the heart of russias Security Services and what caused such a huge panic. The sound of gunfire echoes through the streets of the russian capital. Signing people running to safety and initiating a major security operation by heavily Armed Special forces. According to Russian Media reports a man attacked this building a new Bianca Square in the center of moscow. Its the home of russias federal Security Service the f. S. B. And its communist era read this as the k. G. B. The attackers then reportedly fled to a neighboring building barricading himself inside Security Services then shot him that im on the scene to help several casualties. There were gunshots so of course i didnt get any closer because i wanted to live my head around the corner and watch from the Emergency Services came a bit later. Before the Police Officers ran up to a number and loaded somebody onto it quickly i dont know for sure but apparently he was already dead. The russian president was informed about the shootings that happened on the same day Vladimir Putin was holding his annual Showcase Press Conference Screen life on Russian Television putin was formally in f. S. B. Chief before entering politics its unclear what the attack might have been or whether he was acting alone. Or now trying to establish his identity. Well so far the identity of the attacker or even possibly more attacks has not been announced and also nothing has been sad about the motive also interesting leonardo the Russian Media meant mostly controlled by the state have also hardly been reporting about this incident which is so much in the heart of moscow and also at the same time off the shooting of flooding you put in was actually hosting a special event for the f. S. B. A concert at the kremlin celebrating their annual celebration for employees so these things are all. Not even know for sure connected but coincidentally happened all at the same time also a few hours after president putin held this very important annual press conference in which he also talked about terrorism saying that was the most distressing part of his 20 year rule but if we average going to find out exactly what has happened here at Lubyanka Square at the headquarters of the f. S. B. Also resteal remains to be seen thank you very much indeed. Libyas internationally recognized government has approved a military cooperation deal with turkey as yet they have been no specific details of what help turkey will offer or if it will come in time to repel an advance on tripoli by the warlord Khalifa Haftar or a child support. Its libyas warring forces are on the move here soldiers of highly for have to Libyan National army advance west theyre a break in now and hoping to open a new front its for months theyve been fighting on the outskirts of tripoli against the army of the government of National Accord on thursday the u. N. Backed g. And a announced its agreed to receive greater military help from turkey but that. After half hour as an office side is receiving support from home this is known to all by seraj with his lawful and legitimate government and not receiving any support currently based on us why decide and provide them with the assistance you can afford. This is a proxy conflict that splits the middle east and north africa and beyond the u. A. E. Saudi arabia egypt and russia have all given greater or lesser assistance to have to but if we have to our might topple the government of National Accord has spurred turkey into overt action for turkey their interest is not libya itself anybody who looks at a map of the mediterranean will see that egypt to turkey south south cyprus greece and potentially libya if it falls on the half that and therefore goes into the u. A. E. Or bit is forming a sort of maritime choke hold on to turkey for turkey libya is the final chance to prevent this chokehold from taking place although libyas g n a has ratified the security and military cooperation deal it struck with turkey last month is not immediately clear what kind of military support turkey might offer libya or when but it reinforces turkeys role in influencing libyas future like with syria russia and turkey have taken different sides increasing their diplomatic leverage and corporation. Movement we russia by the way are in permanent contact with mr seraphinas government with marshall have to we continuously communicate with our partners including those in turkey europe and other countries in our opinion the best solution would be to find compromise between the 2 sides of the conflict. At the u. N. Aljazeera asked the secretary general spokesman for his take on turkeys military assistance i think the secretary general a couple times yesterday was very clear in his expression and frankly of his i would say is frustration at the situation in libya of the constant flouting by various Member States of the arms embargo and of the continued fighting that were seeing in and around tripoli and other places in the country but theyre fighting certainly isnt over yet marie talents aljazeera well as remind you how we got here libya has been in conflict since the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011 its divided between warring militia groups which mostly back to rival governments the un recognizes the government of National Accord based in tripoli its supported by turkey and many western powers including italy which fears that the fighting near tripoli will force more people to cross the mediterranean in the east theres the to book based government the center of power for warlord highly for have to and his Libyan National army hes backed by saudi arabia egypt and the United Arab Emirates also france is accused of providing military support and russians snipers have teamed up with have to strips traceback is the founder of the consultancy Libya Analysis he joins me now from washington thanks for being with us so how much difference will it make to the government of National Court to have to use military support you think. Well the Un Government the g. N. A. T. Has been requiring turkish support since the offensive in april began and in fact if the turks had not been delivering drones and armaments tripoli would have fallen already whats happened is that on november 27th a maritime accord was announced between libya and turkey and that was a genuine surprise and all we have today is just that a secret m o u about more military support in potential Ground Troops has been ratified in tripoli and it awaits the Turkish Parliament signature what so what you think turkey stands to gain with this well thats a very important question i would say that there are 6 or 7 different axes here but it comes down to 2 or 3 important things the turks are in economic freefall over the last 2 years and libya is a place that they have over 1000000000. 00 of Construction Contracts outstanding but thats a 2nd tier issue the main main issue is what your lead in package explained very well turkish trying to repackage itself as a gas hub for europe and that requires maritime rights and they signed on november 27th this libya turkey maritime frontier deal making a strip of territory that would connect libya to turkey for the exploration and transshipment of gas of course this has a vibrant a virulent backlash from egypt cypress and greece powers that are hurt and maybe this wasnt stage managed so well but thats a core turkish interest and theyve shown theyre willing to double down even if it risks international opprobrium now what would it mean to think for have to we mentioned so both sides have their respective backers in this country is not being free side where those countries that have to make of took his involvement. Well essentially the turks are a backstop because theres much more International Involvement on the l. N. A or huffed our side its russian mercenaries its u. A. E. Funds its russian dinars egyptian training maybe even french Technical Support so only the turks backstop the g. N. A. T. Government yes the u. S. Italy the u. K. And some Northern European countries provide diplomatic support but it would have been nice if those more neutral countries were willing to support the internationally recognized government i only wonder if the g. N. A. T. Did a good enough job in its lobbying and diplomacy to say hey were over the barrel here were between a rock and a hard place youve got to come through or were going to collapse and that could have been a way to get more u. S. And u. K. Military engagement rather than this very unsavory bad optics deal with the turks and to what progress if any is there on a political solution that everyone talks about being a requirement for india i cant say weve gotten any closer its really one step forward 99. 00 steps back when it comes to libya the u. N. Process is moribund the berlin conference is delayed constantly i feel that the economic underpinnings of the conflict smuggling corruption bad some sovereign institutional structures are not being discussed and even worse both sides wont talk to the other side so were really not close theres either needing to be a mutually hurting stalemate increased International Pressure or a huge amount of effort to prevent the proxy war dimension that weve talked so much about jason pak thank you very much indeed thank you my pleasure.

In india at least 3 people have died in clashes with police during protests against a new citizenship law ranis went ahead despite a battle with police detaining hundreds of people across the country so raman reports. They marched in the thousands across india in the capital with placards in hand they did notice the government and its new citizenship law i it was peaceful here a Civil Society leaders politicians academics and people congregated at the historic red fort near the muslim quarter of the city i confrontation with the police it was inevitable. I. Think for control of the situation has been a daily battle for police and Civil Society says the law was passed nearly a week ago the 1st. 6 of there was a heavy security presence backed up by riot control personnel this demonstrator is clear about why hes here. The government shouldnt be doing this its unfair to all the same be live here in india because we are equal in free be able to write to protest. The to protest is a right ready to be taken away by police so that you know. That. Maybe youve been saying ill go ill go peacefully with the police and thats exactly whats happened with the protests that have been coming into the red fort complex here theyve been slowly that the hundreds of protesting quietly and peacefully arriving at the barriers theyve been arrested individually and loaded onto those coaches that you can see behind me for processing and one by one they were loaded onto buses and driven away each denouncing the police. Theres a Civil Society leader you can put a yard over Many Communist Party leaders who are some of the high profile arrests those taken from here were released later while others were detained. There have been protests in over a dozen indian cities from new delhi to look an hour from mumbai to judge to go calcutta saw some of the largest demonstrations on a national day of baghdad it was being called against the new immigration law. Even in Hyderabad Police had their hands full taking demonstrators away to be processed or charged. One politician from the west bengal has a warning for the b j p led government the politicians will only be the catalyst and if in our people of people the 1st part they will not accept this law and the 2nd part is the at the 1st opportunity when it comes to at the bottom they will. Was the authorities are not taking any chances while the demonstrations grade strength a number. That the government has imposed restrictions banning gatherings of more than 4 people and cutting internet and mobile services in some areas the protesters here say they want the government to scrap the new law and that and go will likely go on until lot happens but itll be up to those in power to determine how they deal with that and reserve board in the days ahead. To hell Robin Al Jazeera you delhi. Students have been at the front line of the protests against indias new citizenship demonstrations are spread to University Campuses across the country and to many come. With police so being a shuster reports one of those universities in in uttar pradesh. Outside the elegant Muslim University in indias Northern State of with their predation there is a Constant Police presence on monday University Authorities here declared a holiday in the middle of exams and sunday police joined the campus grounds students were protesting against the controversial new citizenship law that allows religious minorities from neighboring countries to apply for indian citizenship the legislation specifically excludes muslims any minister but i missed. Anybody you talk to that muslims are excluded then its really it will create fear among the people im gonna visit of psychology i know then borders on the field. Students say police barged into their dormitories hit them and fandor lives property the Police Fire Tear gas and rubber bullets a sweeper told us that some 30 trucks cleaned up the campus before 7 am some students showed us pictures of their injuries they say the police have filed cases against them and some of them are detained and tortured in custody we all feel there was a small bomb like thing that came towards me when i picked it up to throw it back it exploded in my hand other students was stripped naked be down and forced to drink alcohol the students say they still dont know where some of their friends are its that has been. Most of the students from out of the city have already been sent back home in buses the remaining children some of whom were talked to say that they had been warned back at the bar to want to talk to media unless they want to be suspended we reached out to the campus authorities. Really. Really high values. There are loads who make their voices heard in a democratic member in a peaceful manner theres no question of this and its resolved but more to talk we were not given permission to shoot at the university we found this small group of students protesting at the main gate parties are complaining that we are protesting in an undemocratic be because this be you cant make us quite you cant be ok now no its not like that before long the campus authorities along with the police told us that we could no longer talk to the students. Other petition india well as those protests in india continue one of the tactics the governments used to stop demonstrations is to shut down the internet its not unusual in india last year there was a total of 134 shutdowns already this year an online tracker has recorded 95 the longest is 136 days and counting since services were restricted in the disputed region of kashmir with mobile internet still unavailable last year india was the global number one for internet shutdowns during it 8 times as often as 2nd place pakistan. Im joined now in the studio by an appointment on whos a visiting lecturer in Politics University of westminster thanks for coming in to talk to us so how big an effect does it have on the protest movement to have an internet shutdown. I think today is especially has been very very crucial because weve had internet shutdowns not just in faraway places like wish me to or as some but its actually come to the very heartland of india delhi itself has seen a complete come down off communication including 4 networks until 1 pm after which there were 3 stored so on the one hand the government has given the justification that this internet clampdown is only to maintain peace and to stop humor mongering but at the same time what we see from the people is an understanding that this is not just for those reasons and actively challenging it and theyre coming out plus theyre adopting originated strategies of resistance so to take inspiration from the Homegrown Movement right now theyre using apps that dont actually require internet. Connectivity and theyre switching to a native means of mobilizing and disseminating messages and information to come together and protest and so i mean aside from that the use of it in this context in the past as we saw in that graphic there is india is one of the kind of highest uses of this tactic of shutting down the internet why why is the government so keen on this what are the other issues that its trying to deal with in this way so the way we see it right now it seems like oh poor strategy to go of any kind of dissent and silence it because it is not surprising that india has a major problem of fake news that is disseminated primarily through the use of whatsapp india is whats just market and india also sees the largest number of forwards happening on the on the application without any fact made a fixation or without any source credibility so the problem here is multipronged because were having information being disseminated at crazy rates without any fact waiting for geisha in and it is really impacting on people in the sense its creating an environment of fear and paranoia among the. Because theyre like why are fundamental rights being caught up here and when they did use it with it you mentioned. There was an instance where the child kidnappers or remove child connectors on the loose and that and the companies at that time to kind of shut down that particular panic is are there times when you think its justified or was it just never the right tool for for protecting people. See the problem here of fake information being getting out and rumor mongering is definitely a big problem but the but the solution is not to shut it down completely and the people understand that the people are seeing through the night of the government is putting out and theyre actively challenging it so i dont think any kind of shutdown of internet is going to result in any kind of peaceful situation because what it leads to is slogans like the revolution will not be televised and you have more people actually coming out on the streets and might i just point out that it goes completely against mr moore these election manifesto promise of a Digital India where he was quoted to have said that in a Digital India access to information must have no bounds and thats clearly not the case right now how how damaging we mention the majority to how damaging is it to indias image to have internet shut down in the sense it is possible is to be democracies and it has a kind of trade zone that image how damaging is this internationally and i think the great thing in this case is that the International Media has really picked up on it and theyre actually making a big deal about it unlike in cases in a somber there have been internet cuts for over a 100 days and there has been absolutely no Media Coverage of it however at the same time a lot of the progovernment media is absolutely silent on the issue which is. Harming the movement of a bit but at the same time i feel the International Media has played a big role in it and they are questioning the go meant the opposition parties have come out strongly against the clampdown so have the celebrate and eminent personalities in india and theyre actively questioning it which i feel is very crucial for these protests right now and to maintain their longevity at an opponent and on thank you very much indeed thank you.

Senate has described the impeachment of President Donald Trump as toxic this off to House Speaker nancy pelosi says youre not send the case to the senate until shes convinced the trial will be fair she returns the reports from washington d. C. Article one is adopted. By Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell attacked wednesdays vote in the house of representatives to impeach the president as the fulfillment of a long held Democratic Party to overturn the results of the 26 the direction. The vote yesterday was got some neutral judgment that democrats came to with great reluctance it was their predetermined. Of a partisan crusade that began before president trot was even nominated let alone for now mcconnell has already said that he will take his cues from the white house as he oversees a senate trial for the president the democrats arent happy leader mcconnell claimed the impeachment was motivated by partisan rage this from the man who said proudly i am not impartial i have no intention to be impartial at all in the trial of president trump. What hypocrisy immediately after wednesdays vote nancy pelosi refused to commit to sending the articles of impeachment to the senate for consideration some democrats have argued no trial should take place unless there are guarantees of fairness however on thursday pelosi seemed to be speaking in terms of when a trial would occur and if a trial would take place and next thing.

The u.
