all right. colten islanders decide to stay british while over twelve thousand kilometers away the u.k. seems keen only on the hands for the vast oil reserves around its tiny overseas territory. the x. hangs over america's wrasse of military budget putting its huge overseas presence in the spotlight on whether it's time to bring more of the troops and ships home. and you're upset to both the far reaching ban on pornography including on the web of liberty experts fear a different cover up the chance to snoop on anything users are doing online.

it is eight am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program how folk when islanders have voted overwhelmingly to remain and oversees british territory but the results are not likely to help and the bitter dispute between the u.k. in argentina when as arias claims the islands were stolen from it by britain two centuries ago are just bully boy reports on what's really at stake over the small remote archipelago. these are some very fall flung islands from britain a tiny territory but this isn't just a question of national identity we know that the argentinian government's already dismissed the vote as a propaganda exercise cooked up in london but there's the prospect of all oil that a lot of people are talking about now this speculation surrounding how much oil there is an estimated sixty billion barrels of oil potentially to be found in the

fall cleanse base and compare that with britain's oil reserves well they seem scant in comparison the u.k. has an estimated two point eight five billion barrels of oil so if this estimation proves to be correct if the falkland islands do indeed have these sixty billion barrels then we're talking about more oil than the reserves of the usa could tar or even libya to talk about this i'm joined in the studio by ken hurst he's a journalist came to what extent is this dispute a question of resources for both the british and the argentinean government well it could be argued that it's always been questionable whether it's morally or logistically sustainable to try to protect. a colony that's eight thousand miles away i suppose the argument one could have added to that is economically sustainable any warships and so on and so forth but of course the oil rather changes all that but it only changes if you believe it's morally justifiable to go

on which we call it you know a colonial plundering mission something we did in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and personally i don't happen to believe it is the national business consultant to explain to us why he thinks the referendum is a pointless step in the long running dispute between britain and argentina. it's like asking the old to right wing israeli settlers on the west bank whether they want to continue being israeli or they want to be compared to sydney and maybe they should open up immigration in twenty to thirty thousand argentinian settle there then we can have another referendum and see what happens it is a question of double standards because the guardian newspaper from the u.k. only in february of last year ran an article reminding everybody that in one thousand nine hundred sixty six britain forced the eighteen hundred inhabitants of diego garcia island in the indian ocean they just threw them right out because britain had decided to go to howard wilson actions prime minister had decided to

leave those islands to the you the us for a military base which is now even a covert cia prison so it is a question of double standard to have no qualms of throwing out eight hundred people from go up because see above now they want to protect the. well the referendum result is and but you can still vote in our poll on how you think argentina will react let's take a look at how some of our viewers voted so far so as we can see almost half of you so far said that argentina will declare the voters illegitimate about a third think folk landers will be pressured by their south american neighbor to relocate to britain well fifteen percent believe argentina will call for a future referendum on the issue well only a fraction as we can see think when attires will actually back off from its claims about which way do you see this heading tell us at r.t. dot com.

they are being parliament is set to vote on banning all forms of pornography in the media including the internet it's claimed it will help eliminate chander stereotypes that debase women but there are privacy fear is that will mean allowing web users to be policed in social networks personal emails or even their own photos fabia reinhard from the pirate party in berlin state parliament sees it as another excuse for politicians to try and control the web the initiative on the ticket right now is not legally binding but it's shaping the position of the european union for the next two years to well the internet and i think it's very important

to define and internet freedom and citizen rides on every step. process and brussels and in the book. right now it's maybe just an initiative the next step may be a different kind of proposal and i think it's very important that we take from step and say that we don't want to have any internet censorship even if the idea behind it is very noble idea and i think that. especially from the from the executive branch. and the european union i think they are somehow threatened by the internet i think the. it's very easy to control the t.v. and some of the channels but it's very difficult to control what's going on the internet politicians on all levels of trying to find all of the. different ways to

to control what is going on the internet and control of the public and free opinion there the u.s. defense budget is facing almost fifty billion dollars in cuts and it's causing mixed feelings in america some fear it will weaken security but others say they're reduction is long overdue but america's huge military presence abroad as one area manny think could comfortably take the hit our washington correspondent dan each account has been going over the numbers. there's a lot of talk in washington about the need to make some cuts to the humongous military budget in light of this conversation which checked out the latest pentagon numbers on troop deployment around the world the u.s. has boots on the ground in one hundred fifty countries that's around two hundred thousand troops. serving in from parts of the world largest contingency include of course of ghana's that six the six thousand troops well that number is supposed to be half by the end of this year there you see vast presence in asia pacific japan south korea where the announced pivot to asia those numbers may actually grow in

the gulf nations while you see kuwait bahrain the presence there has been growing since the withdrawal from iraq huge presence all across the globe so why all this this is more than fighting terror more than fighting anything colonel douglas macgregor is with me today to discuss all those wise colonel macgregor let's take germany almost forty thousand troops why so many in germany before we run through the regions let me tell your viewers something that's very important for us because all of these numbers that you've posted are about to change you have a secretary of defense name chuck hagel and a surgery of st john kerry and those of these men are committed to conflict avoidant everything that you've got post is going to change starting in germany where we've had soldiers for sixty years and we don't need them and haven't needed them certainly since nine hundred eighty nine thousand nine hundred ninety but for various reasons when the soviet state system collapsed and the soviet armed forces

withdrew from eastern europe there were people in washington who set out to find new enemies a new new justification or rationale for our global below troop presence and actually succeeded somewhat in expanding it as you pointed out with the global war on terrorism that period is no indeed what about this idea of. policing the world something that. that washington has been engaged and for for so long it has that worked out it hasn't worked out has it it's cost us trillions of dollars tens of thousands of laws it's cultivated do it i mean he's alienated hundreds of millions of people in key regions of the world so why would we continue to do that so these numbers are going to come down very very rapidly over the next thirty six to forty eight months and there are no forces in washington that would want to keep it the way it is of course but those are being drowned out by voices that say no we can't afford it we have to economize we have problems in the united states we must

address and oh by the way as i just pointed out this hasn't worked out well for us thank you sir thank you the new chief of the cia john brennan when making a case for drones last year said boots on the ground would not always be america's best defense because they were take the local population create a lot of backlash as if drones don't but nevertheless even the new drone base is that the u.s. is setting up in different countries require troops on the ground to operate them recently president obama announced the deployment of one hundred troops. so even this pivot to drones doesn't mean no troops in washington i'm going to check out. whilst i have for you this hour here in r.t. germany's famous thrift and efficiency takes a not from some oddball budgeting. fancy a purple carrot that's just one of the bizarre investments from the federal pot we'll show you more and tell you how taxpayers are reacting.

remote hills of the west bank off fast becoming an eyesore by the way noisy garbage trucks dump waste from jerusalem and its surrounding areas here. far enough to keep the stench of garbage away from city dwellers but close enough for some to conclude it's making the bed when tribes who inhabit these hills sick of not hussein is recovering from cancer he says he can prove the dumb caused it but suspects it did . our children play next to the dump our animals in the nails in the garbage and later died we always smell garbage day by day the dump is getting closer to ahmed and his family because these radio authorities don't want it spreading to the expanding settlements on the other side israeli law says a land full should be two kilometers from where people live this one's a stone's throw away. there are a lot of people suffering from a lot of illnesses that we've never seen before some of them are skin illnesses there have been cases of cancer and people have died some of the garbage being

dumped here has chemicals and gases. and for as long as these hills fall into palestinian territory they'll continue to fill up with israeli waste these bed when tribes were forcibly moved here a decade ago the one similar magic herders were compensated with cash electricity and water supplies this is a mountain of waste that's been building for seventeen years it's convenient for the israelis to dump their garbage here because it's not too far from jerusalem and this is after all contested occupied land. these reedy health ministry has found that the dump is producing methane gas amongst others with long term health risks for the last few years talk to his son has been researching the health effects of bed with living near the rotting waste water getting out of as an extra of these damming sides these waters just goes into the ground reaching the aquifers where we have the water drinking water we have a well where were the people drinking water from these wells and we found during

our research that there's some heavy metals inside the. wells but land here is expensive and building a new waste site would cost money it's also not clear where these people in communities could move to the lack of building space means they forced to put up tents closer to the landfill site. it is not normal that we live in a dump it's supposed to be far away from people who all the time it's getting closer it's very hard to live here the only solution is to move this dump away from here in its defense that you recently municipality says the site is legal but it has until the end of this month to respond to a court order to stop dumping here each day more than a thousand tons of garbage is deposited on ahmed store step potentially a ticking bomb for people who live on the fringes of society. or r t l jabal village in the west bank. and i will take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world the catholic
