they called it takes center stage during drug obama's state of the union address but they've targeted killing of terrorist suspects including americans without charge or trial fails to make the car to his key speech. north korea faces more sanctions as the un security council strongly condemns beyond young then most powerful underground nuclear tests to date. as part of their bags and head away europe's small business owners called their governments taxes suffocating as pressure mounts during tough financial times. international news live from moscow this is r.c. with me hello and welcome to the program. bronc obama devoted his first state of

the union address of his second term to trying to appease lawmakers and taxpayers with fresh promises to bruise the economy and slash debt and deficit but certain policy issues which washington has been criticized for or notably left out of the speech to ask is again education now for the details. he certainly talked about the economy which according to the president is healing even though the country is still wanting a huge deficit he said the u.s. is halfway through reducing its deficit by four trillion dollars economists say that's how much is needed for the u.s. to balance its budget president obama hinted that had congress been a bit less this functional the country would have made more progress instead he said the country has has been moving from one quote unquote manufactured crisis to another to reduce energy cost president obama said the u.s. would produce more of its own oil and its own natural gas as it has been doing over the past two years on foreign policy front to a while the president was talking about the u.s. so bringing troops home from afghanistan the administration will continue to chase

down terrorists across the globe and although there was no mentioning of the word drones what everybody knew that you know drones have been the hallmark of president obama's foreign policy and he didn't talk much about that again there was no mentioning of the word drone despite the u.n. raising concerns about the legality of the use of drones the u.s. is setting up new drone free basis around the globe as you can imagine we did not hear much again about this war that the administration is waging with a remote control a war that is shrouded in secrecy all the president had to say on this is this is true different kind of affiliates in extremist groups have emerged from the peninsula to africa the threat these groups pose is a bomb but to meet this threat we don't need to send tens of thousands of our sons and daughters abroad occupy other nations we're going to search through

a range of capabilities we will continue to take direct action against those terrorists who pose the greatest threat to americans. so not much of was said about the administration's no prisoners policy which has raised all sorts of red flags and most reports of civilian deaths in those drone strikes president obama did say in the speech that his justice department was working on the legal framework for those operations but one wonders what kind of a legal framework could be when the man who's been in charge of the program john brennan during his confirmation hearing last week the key explained why it would be hard for the administration to go to court with drones and he said that we don't punish people for past deals with strike before they take action basically said that the u.s. government could execute people for what they haven't done yet and it would be very hard to to you know to come up with legal framework for the state of the union speeches of course is not supposed to be controversial or detailed so the president did not have to really expend on this very controversial policy of his and during

his speech obama announced the signing of a new cybersecurity order the state of the purpose of which is to bridge the nation's defenses against her but the point to say there has been slammed by critics as an invasion of privacy journalist and also tom gjelten says the cybersphere is simply not transparent enough to be accountable we're moving into. an era where country is being able more and more to attack each other and feel that they can do so without being caught difficult years particularly here in the united states there is so much secrecy surrounding cyber war inside weaponry in general but particularly around the office so there should be perhaps no more of this will go on and. worse some discussion about. how international laws of war. are going. un will

be front sanctions against north korea that stops and imagine some easing of the international border security council resulted in a unanimous condemnation of pyongyang said nuclear test the communist state conducted a controlled atomic detonation on tuesday in defiance of the u.n. by a more central secrecy korea's main ally and aid a fact that china was among those condemning pyongyang as atomic test director of global studies at hong kong in a vast state simoncelli believes while beijing joined the united criticism its relations with a secretive state will remain intact beijing does knowledge which has the onion sewed in the in this region because mentoring is the ability is to measure more as a principle of aging at this moment however huge about the rising rate is activities in japan and south korea in the reason of seeing korea as a newcomer to balance against the understates so it's not just the be ok does nords

proud to call the interests of beijing this kind of behavior is i mean we still be tolerated by beijing at this moment says the new governor of south korea and japan just being installed and the record rain makes use of this its peers to mobilize their own writers as collusion was to build up their military capabilities so it got committed beijing but also matured as their own excuse to mobilize their own military campaign and then the result could be a competition among all the powers in the region so i'm going to go. iran says it international inspectors access to their pay chain military complex which is suspected of covert atomic research it comes as the u.n. watched this is the country for another round of talks on its controversial nuclear program tehran also said it's been conversing in which to rein him into reactor fuel and another move aimed at easing tensions with the west the process is meant

to slow the buildup of material which could potentially be used to make nuclear weapons and matthew makowski nuclear security expert from queen mary university in london believes direct talks are the only solution to the stalemate. the international society and the inspectors are allowed in that there is definitely going to be a very good sign permit on or to the international society that has to be mentioned that. this would not be the star and it would go into power to. the words if i'm not mistaken but it times and i have not found any but there are still concerns raised. on that have not yet replied to questions posed to them one thing many analysts a country agree on is that in order to in order to. stop the crisis that you are in crisis as there is in me or direct hearing in american talks this is something that

we still are not told to have time means many in europe are finding it increasingly harder to make ends meet but taxpayers are unlikely to be given much reprieve especially when their governments have time claims record debts and was no one willing to ditch generously funded public services the here looks set to continue having one of the highest tax rates in the world peace only for investigate. he's a leading man of stage and screen however european heads of state will be hoping share our debt by do doesn't become the leader of a tax exodus by the super rich front lawns decision to push through a seventy five percent top rate of tax on those earning over one million euros saw the actor up sticks and head to russia europe has some of the highest rates of taxation in the world with many giving the law in share of the things to the state of mind fear go inside and it can be a balancing act of course you want to run

a successful business but if you make over a certain amount you find yourself paying out huge quantities of the tax i'm over fifty percent. there are warnings for europe that when compared to low tax countries like russia they could lose their competitive edge if their country was low taxes and with high taxes capital flow well to countries low tax in the same is true for people with talent there's always going to be people that think the taxes are too high but a growing number actually starting to think that it's becoming detrimental to the development of business pretty hard to owns a haulage company in munich currently he employs around ninety people transporting everything from the small to the big and bulky all over mainland europe he says that lowering the current rate of tax would not just make big changes to his business but also to the lives of this stuff that's where not only can his with him

. he would be super first i could pay higher salaries this is a very important issue right now due to the rise in the cost of living also i can invest more into the company and grow the business even employ more people everyone benefits something that isn't possible under the current tax system and that those in power argue that the problem in european countries right now is that taxpayers want to have the best of both were. the phenomenon we face regarding taxes is that everyone wants to pay as little as possible however no one is willing to give up the services that those taxes go to pay for a week few signs of any major tax cuts on the horizon in your business is like this one going to have to continue to struggle to bring home the bacon but it comes to saving fifty development peter all of a r.t. and still to come this hour a dangerous precedent and just

a couple of minutes report on a quarterly that's blown a big hole in the british government's unemployment skills. i'm saying it's the tough way to say yes after pro-democracy or holds a spot secular tunisia schools teaching children to hold great it's all spreading trust and over. the world with. science technology innovation all the least developed from around russia we've got the future covered. choose your language. we can we know if you're going to stay still some. choose to use the consensus you can. choose to get the news that you think a great tool. to use to stories could impact your life choose me

access to. three. three. three. three. three. video for your media. free media r t dot com. this is the welcome bach internees every teacher school's out spreading through observation of following the revolution two years ago some parents have no problem with their kids getting down to the nuts and bolts of islam at an early age but others feel as such occasion is only planting the seeds of future extreme as i'm

going to now report. tunisia's learned some tough lessons in the wake of its revolt but now the report card for what's going on in its schools is facing examination in the school in one of the poorest districts of the tunisian capital children come to learn about the qur'an and the way of life of true muslims religious education was banned under the old regime but it's making a comeback in a big way the rise of islam as a man has led to an increase in the number of religious schools are springing up across the country these schools are private operating outside of the control of state officials who have no say over what's being taught in these schools and some worry that this may lead to a rise in the number of young extremists even many religious experts agree filling your minds with religious doctrine is may not be the best way to bring up children . that do this and i read in one of the papers sent by

a three year old girl to her mother with a message my beloved mom teach me about the afterlife the same way you teach about this life is this a way to teach three year old children we can see it clearly attempts to brainwash these children dr ramani carried out extensive research of religious schools and to news to find out whether critics were right to say that they were damaging to the country's post revolutionary development she found most schools were primarily focused on teaching strict islamic values without worrying about the effect these methods may have on youngsters. i have noticed that all female teachers at these schools where any cub while teaching you can't see her face this is in contradiction with what's known in psychology as communication how can she communicate with the kids if her face is covered emotions and movement are vital to kids and social interaction such things do not contradict our values and morals. but parents who send their children to study at these schools believe they are on

the right track. educating our children with muslim values is the way to ensure that they will lead a proper life from childhood studying the koran improves memory increases thinking abilities and says the right course for the rest of their lives. at the moment not even the ministry of education is able to say exactly how many religious schools there are in tunisia after the revolution they sprung up over the country many operating without license from the state the government has acknowledged the problem but has its hands full trying to keep the economy together meaning education is on the backburner he says absence of control that especially worries tunisians on top of the concerns about extremist salafist groups gaining ground. to force these groups don't believe in democracy the republic and freedom they consider them to be against their religion they want to impose their way of life onto new zealand by force as if they know better than other people. after the arab

spring revolt tunisians were eager to embrace what they hoped would be a new way of life but with radical islam permeating more and more spheres of everyday life these children's future may not be exactly what many parents had hoped for in their quest for freedom and democracy in tunisia. r.t.e. . and right now and for you when marches against the president suddenly turn into a van and brawls with police and ages biggest cities so they these are big on the turning out big heat and our channel gives you an exclusive chance to hear from the secretive stars of the egyptian uprising online. also that tante dot com after suffering a tough test by mother nature and his impulse in new york which were hit hardest by hardin sunday are in for unfortunate surprise from the city's tax authority. and while some believe is that feeling sad about the pope's decision to park his

vatican bides these ukrainian goes wrong only too delighted to hear the news and staged a celebration in paris and most famous trad. today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. and almost a week long manhunt for an ex and they called and the murder suspect with a one million dollar prize on his head appears to be over that's after remote woodland cabin where christopher dorner was believed to be hiding it was burnt out in a shootout dorner is accused of embarking on a killing spree after vowing to avenge his sacking into silence and then date he

was believed to have already taken the lives of three people including a police officer and antiwar activist and journalist don't believe that was the cause themselves that could have driven his instability. and i do not think violence is justified no matter what had happened to mr dorner however the. i'm reading what he had released his so-called manifesto it's clear that he's witnessed a great deal of police misconduct aside from experiencing it himself as a police officer in l.a. he's witnessed a number of incidents that were either buried under the rug or covered up in one fashion or another and so it seems game from the point of view of l.a.p.d. is to kill him before he has an opportunity to end up in a courtroom when there's a pattern of behavior that repeats itself over and over despite massive evidence in some cases that something quite contrary is going on to what's being said then the

only conclusion that you can come to is that this what is being done is not an error but rather policy when you treat people in that fashion at they lose confidence in the justice system they lose confidence in going to the courts for relief and some people decide to fight back in the only way that they know how this particular person was trained by the government to be a killer instead and let loose elsewhere in the world to kill on behalf of the interests that rule the united states. under now world updates this hour at least nineteen gunmen have been killed in thailand's turbulent south after all said to be the areas most vigorous militant attacks in several years some one hundred heavily armed men stormed the base but were repelled tableful militants had previously defected no casualties among servicemen were reported thailand's three muslim dominated provinces often suffer from the tugs by insurgents calling for greater

autonomy from bangkok. and another blow to syria's government forces the rebel free syrian army has seized a military airport east of the country's second city of aleppo following two days of intensive combat the militants are now in control of a small plane fleet which includes mig fighter jets f.s.a. commanders say the government troops although longer be able to send reinforcements to stop rebel advances in a province neighboring aleppo however damascus has played down the importance of the airbase claiming it was only used for training purposes. it was one of the u.k. government's signature policies designed to get people back to work but it's led to claims of slavery and could now result in the authorities having to cough up millions to go through to part of the staff explain. university graduate kate riley and forty year old jamison wilson succeeded in their claims that their unpaid

work scheme that they were made to take part in was indeed a little for them but it was taking place in the court of appeal today and the argument was that the surrounding issues will eagerly flawed so they were successful and a small but significant victory now the law is that that ruling say it could mean that thousands of people who have their benefits stripped from the under similar circumstances in this government work program could reclaim that money that could leave the door open to the millions of pounds compensation that would be footed by the taxpayer of course that's causing a lot of concern that the d.w.p. is saying that they are not going to be coughing up any cash whatsoever in our teeth done its own investigation into the work program it's been a hugely controversial program a lot of problems in response to what's the government has said that it was ridiculous to suggest that there were any problems with the work program and that

it wasn't helping people get back into work but look this is being quite embarrassing for the government today now speak to us more about this i'm joined by amery o'reilly from the political work there program thank you very much for joining us a small victory do you think that far enough is on the surface of it it seems like a big deal and a win the obviously the people involved in that but is this going to be as hard hitting as far reaching well today's ruling is really significant for us it shows that workfare forced unpaid work in the u.k. isn't just wrong it's also been unlawful sat means every single person who's been sent on these schemes in the last two years was sent on them unlawfully and the tens of thousands of people who faced really extreme hardship and possible destitution by having their money stopped as a result of not participating may well. be entitled to claim that money back but you're right it doesn't go far enough the still a lot to be done one of this my significant schemes mandatory where tactility is

still intact and really disturbingly the government threatening to bring emergency regulation through to bring workfare straight back in this when just today the schemes are found illegal when they've been riddled with corruption allegations from the start and the government's own research shows that has no effect on helping people find work you know there are millions of people unemployed here in the cave and of course the imperative is getting them back to work i don't think anyone's the just thing that these people shouldn't be put back to work but i think it's the rhetoric that surrounding it and indeed the figures as we said are see their own investigation and figures just do not add up the percentage of people who are actually getting jobs from this program we're incredibly full of but it was worse than doing nothing a tooth so really the figure is quite shocking but you're right this is a fair assertion and one that was put into what was there it's hugely controversial loads of criticism about these government work schemes but they all scheme still in

place and the governor is quite right getting people back into jobs are they not unemployment in the u.k. or the moment is a huge huge issue but the government nice that these schemes don't work its own research shows they have zero effect on helping people find work possibly worse and doing nothing at all. instead of helping create jobs what they're doing is replacing paid work by handing big business like our tesco pound and hundreds or thousands of hours of unpaid work effectively replacing jobs that would exist if the schemes were and place not only that the government is using these schemes to massage the unemployment figures because when people are forced to work without pay on the schemes they can't count the mistyping is just a very strange definition of having a job with not a single person is receiving a wage for them before one graduate who is on that work program certainly a small but significant victory at the low if that case said today it certainly means that the government now has to go back to the drawing board when it comes to their work schemes. should gun control be the answer to the endless string of

shootings in the u.s. that's the dilemma brought up in our special report right after this break.

a. load of. shit.
