yes bond has becomes more and more. with high immigration over the past few decades germany has seen the developments of monocultural communities such as new cologne in west berlin foreign influence in this area really is very evident you've got lots of borenstein and foreign shop fronts and add to this the discussions about education failures welfare abuses and crime within immigrant groups and you've got real problems with many of these issues popping into prejudices a lot of people still holds about immigration. recent survey conducted by the french foundation in germany found that almost a third of respondents felt that immigrants were coming to exploit the country's welfare system and should be sent home when jobs were scarce almost the same amount the country is being overrun by foreigners here you have a mix so you have a german here and you have english here and english here and this is turkish this

is this is nice so everybody can read that but if it is only only in turkish people they feel strange when they think where am i living this is an arabian city merchant the ensuing to beit has focused on muslim immigrants with migrant families reluctant to integrate into a society that they feel is prejudiced against them while i have my own personality here my i believe things on my own. the way i've been brought up don't think that changing my personality the way i look the way i talk or my even my mother tongue would change. where would. have an effect on the german culture projects like this local community center and aiding integration and teaching children the german language from an early age but with few bilingual arabic or take if schools families likenesses sending their children to private schools where

they do not yet learn german despite the tough rhetoric from the top germany knowledge is that immigration is desirable for its economy migrants have to be willing to integrate we need people in all of the industrial countries because we have not so many kids anymore i have no kids not of germans have no kids so where should the kids come from to work and help the industry going on so we need people from other countries to come in getting himself. no one would talk much in society if they knew how often they misunderstood others and a major challenge now with the debate blown wide a plan b. to try and bridge cultural divides which have been simmering quietly for a long time. their affairs r.t. belin. from the german christian democrats as the politicians who have been criticized for their strong comments about immigrants were merely being

realistic. i don't think that harsh words were used the right words sensibly politics begins with looking at the reality you know this reality there are millions of examples of the best kind of integration but there are also too many examples of refusing to integrate calls and receive them for a long immigrants is true times as high as among the population of one kind of i find the system of local benefits in germany very good but not. those who come to germany must respect the constitution and our cultural traditions. and you can watch that interview in full here on r.t. in just about an hour's time. for the russian and two terrorist committee has confirmed that it has busted a foreign financial network used to fund terrorist groups in the north caucasus officials say the recent surge of militant attacks has been made possible by the

growing flow of money from abroad live now to what is extensive and for details on this developing story so certainly this is a big blow to the terrorist networks in russia itself isn't it. well the russian security forces believe that there's foreign funding is directly tied to the increase in under arrest in the north caucasus and they're primarily looking at the stand. in chechnya the agents say they have uncovered a network in which dummy companies deposit money into banks that money is then withdrawn and then brought into russia be a money how much money has made it into the hands of militants it's unclear but investigators assisted the money makes it to military leaders and then is dolled out to foot soldiers one of the leaders that it's it's expected to have been arrested for this money is doku umarov now you name. remember him as one of russia's most wanted criminals he's on the international most wanted list and he's

also believed to be behind the moscow metro bombings that killed forty and left more than a hundred injured. and this is obviously a victory for thirty's but it does follow several major terror attacks and. well they're really talking about this increase in violence and it's in the north caucuses and it's happened in the past month the most recent attack happened at chechnya when militants attacked the parliament building in the capital and killed three people also in the past month militants detonated a car bomb in a busy market in north the stats here so investigators are saying that they have that they feel that they put a hold on some of those ballots and they're putting a good defense on it because they were able to stop some of the money flow but they're still investigating to find out exactly where all of this money is coming from and what groups are associated with this. piece of state it was a reporting for us thank you. well here's

a glance at what's ahead for you this hour israeli soldiers under fire for truth movement strikes back at the army with new evidence of human rights abuse. washington is denying it ignored numerous cases of iraqi torture and killing over the past six years but allegations stem from four hundred thousand secret u.s. files on the war in iraq leaked by the whistle blowing website wiki leaks the documents detail u.s. forces handing prisoners over to iraqi interrogators despite overwhelming evidence of inhumane treatment many detainees were said to have died violent deaths u.s. military officials say their orders were not to intervene directly washington's refusing to investigate the allegations despite an outcry from half a dozen arab countries former cia analyst ray mcgovern says the american media is now trying to divert public attention from the wiki leaks report by slamming its

founder julian assange which. you know goes back to the ancient greek times when you didn't like the message you shut shoot them but you kill the messenger and in those days so what they're trying to do is deflect discussion of the hard details that have come out in these documents and have in on ad hominem arguments against a song to make it sort of to trivialize it and to make it sort of a personal sort of thing the treasure trove of documents is precisely what you would expect from a war of aggression and don't place before that word because that's the way defiant what we did in going into iraq and afghanistan i wouldn't turn back said and it was justice jackson our own supreme court justice who said perpetrating a war of aggression is to commit the supreme international crime differing from other war crimes only in so far as it contains the accumulated evil of the whole

what's the accumulated evil torture kidnapping shooting civilians it's all there right in the wiki leaks leak at one point some apache helicopter soldiers say we have some civilians that i don't want to surrender and the lawyer from headquarters says he can't surrender to a helicopter. and those civilians i mean it's the worst kind of thing and wiki leaks has done a great service to our country by exposing that. meantime azziz a military computer contributor says that u.s. forces should not be held responsible for turning a blind eye to atrocities in iraq because they were under the influence of their superiors. the question that has been mostly ignored by the international media is how come the despite the highest standard of the code of ethics in the united states army that some of those individuals in the us uniform

were involved in criminal negligence when the civilian support torture in their presence by the iraqi security forces or how the sub culture of impunity in the u.s. forces in iraq has been totally ignored by their political masters back in washington d.c. the ensor is that the united states armed forces was held hostage to political expediency of their masters so before you blame the military for what did happen in iraq take a break and think about who their real masters of the u.s. military in the overseas conflicts it was auntie's military contributor colonel you have any who shot. an israeli truth movement breaking the silence has posted new photos depicting abuse carried out by soldiers during the gaza war two years

ago the israeli defense force condemned the group for publishing the pictures on facebook instead of turning to the military police there have been a series of photos and videos posted online showing the inhumane treatment of palestinians by troops one such case is now in court two israeli soldiers are awaiting sentencing after being convicted of using a palestinian child as a human shield the founder of the breaking the silence movement says the army is using the two as scapegoats to falsely show civilian human rights are upheld. this is in a way a political trial and this is a trial to try to clean the system these two late low ranking soldiers are going to pay for the mistakes of all the a separation of all the military for the big problems of the strategy and weapons that were used in operation cast lead for the rules of engagement and they're going to pay for it and in

a way the army is trying to sacrifice them to clean itself and this is i think a problem there is a history of this of more and more cases of soldiers complaining of policy and complaining and still it seems like the ground level in the military cannot accept in a way this change because when you are in the field you always think that the judge in jerusalem they have their own idea about how to do things and you know how to do things and this is the way you were trained on and that's why this is the way you do and in a way when you're in the system and when you're on the ground enforcing the occupation you're in a way you lose the ability to really distinguish right from wrong a former israeli soldier the founder of the breaking the silence organization that's you know who to shore sharing his thoughts with us right well a little bit later we explore marriage but without the children find out why you didn't read in india are being encouraged to put off parenthood and what money it's got to do with it. now let's go to some other world news are making headlines this
