Into the class and inflicted injuries sustained free School Children and a teacher with the next a child received a blow to the face another one was struck on the back and another girl lost some friends. Let me say this in the school as they were totally calm nothing like this could have been expected from that action and i dont know many could have anticipated this would happen. That someone in the north of the super. Well that was the latest in a string of School Attacks in russia this week Jacqueline Vega has more details. The past five days have seen a frightening trend creeping up in russia with three different attacks occurring at schools. And all of those cases the young perpetrators used basic weapons not an axis as that was likely all that they had at their disposal and a disturbing online trend may also link these incidents our sources believe that violent online groups that center around tragedies like the Columbine High School massacre may also be a common factor just to remind you the columbine tragedy took place in the u. S. Back in one thousand nine hundred ninety two students armed to the teeth killed twelve of their classmates and a teacher and that horrific massacre is apparently inspiring violence and children who werent even born when it happened its so popular that the followers of such groups even have a name for themselves columbine years now russias version of facebook called v. K. Has dozens of these pages open to all we did a simple quick search and found scores of them with post that promote violent behavior things like describing the power someone feels when they have a gun in their hands one of the alleged perpetrators of mondays incident has been confirmed to be a follower of such pages and todays and wednesdays instance are being looked into see if the same is true for them as of today russian officials have announced that they will begin shutting down pages with extremist content group where he took a number of groups like this is relatively small its not a mass phenomenon were not going to do it every single mention of every bad thing were doing with calls to action not with information per se we dont think that if a person reads about someone slaughtering somebody will pick up a knife and commit a crime. But the question remains if closing pages will really be enough in the long run especially given that a number of students have already taken the next stop and used violence against their classmates. The u. S. Ambassador to the Un Nikki Haley claims the trump administrations policy in afghanistan is working with peace closer than ever however the u. N. Recently reported almost half a Million People were displaced in the country in twenty seventeen alone here are some of the latest pictures from afghanistan. The u. S. Policy on afghanistan is working. We are all were victims of the bombing is ongoing are a lot of houses have been destroyed several villages about sixty seven thousand displaced families are living in this camp. But i think. Were closer to talks with the taliban and the Peace Process than weve seen before. As we were the taliban and i said were fighting with them Government Forces launched a military operation against our houses were destroying our lifestyle. We do not want afghanistan to be a safe haven for terrorism any more and so we continue to go down that path twenty one International Terrorist groups operating in this country dozens of suicide bombers are being sent we are under siege we do everything we can to combat terrorism. Particularly house to pretend that us policy is working because shes Loyal Follower of donald trump she can say that Donald Trumps policy is not working and 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 that. And 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 whereas five or ten years ago the main proponents were the taliban since then weve had people coming into the picture there was the Hakani Network there was. Then the third group thats come up in the last five years that. 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. Turkey has launched a military incursion into the kurdish controlled region of syria more on that after the break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics or. Im sure business ill see you then. I think that is what the world needs confidence and confidence is based on on commodores i strongly believe that the u. S. And europe have you played a big role in that the United States has been. A partner in creating that rule based system. Im afraid that. Through air force and especially language President Trump has been using and im not that confident that the contribution of the United States to that rule based system is as relevant as its been. Welcome back turkeys defense minister has announced his country has launched a military operation in syrias kurdish controlled african region starting with cross border shelling aunties policy and has more on how events have unfolded. Were hearing from the Turkish Defense minister that a de facto Turkish Military operation has begun across its border now this is been corroborated by the syrian kurds the white p. G. D. Who say that since those day night some seventy shells have been fired by the Turkish Military on to their villages now its one of the only a statement by the turkish president and the one in which he said that the United States had admitted to establishing a terrorist army on the turkish Syrian Border any chord on the United States to deal with that terror at its infrastructure and these comments by the turkish president so infuriated could see living in the afan region that earlier they took to the streets also they were protesting against what you see happening slowly on the ground interest turkish tanks needing to be extra in order this is what citizens are going to say. Right now our freedom will be the ones graveyard today hundreds of thousands are protesting to tell him that the people of african will never leave their man. The International Community should send a message to turkey telling them to stop. The why putin and stand so we can defend ourselves. Well this comes after the statement that the Coalition Forces were working closely with the Syrian Democratic forces to establish and train a new Syrian BorderSecurity Force but what weve seen happening is the American Administration backpedaling now on plans to establish such a border force essentially after it created such a huge and furious backlash from americas close ally turkey the u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson has said that the entire issue has been mis portrayed and misdescribed the u. S. State department has this to say is he saying that when the pentagon says were going to try to commit forces there because the people that took that long as you just just being i would not 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. But im asking that first comments yesterday we said theres no order Security Force thats not what it is like i 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 the situation is extremely tense on the ground and it has the possibility of igniting into something much bigger so i think what it does so us is that words have the potential to ignite a potential war. Former u. S. Diplomat jim jatra says turkeys reaction was unavoidable given the contradictory american policy on syria partially that is a very very difficult position and it really is part of being contradicted or caught in the corporate policy is that we are supposedly in syria illegally as it happens but nonetheless in syria solely for the purpose of the feeding guy of war thats been done why are we staying well without have a new mission so we settle on the kurds as the only force we think we can count on that was inevitable it would provoke a reaction from turkey theres no way out of this quandary of that i can see and now theyre back pedaling and dancing around trying to salvage something. Returning to france and drug related crimes are becoming so bad in parts of the paris metro train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations.

Within minutes of arriving if marks dorm or 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 is afraid for the security of. 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. Smart for. Playing with.
