europe doesn't need britain that's the message from the french president just to protect the integrity of the u.k. tries to call back house from brussels. scores are killed in a string of bombings around baghdad in iraq's deadliest day in months as tension between the shiite led government and the sunni minority spiraled out of control. on a suspected terrorist is arrested in the u.s. three years after slipping through the country's security net raising fears america's poor security isn't up to scratch despite millions of names on its list of suspects.

studios here in moscow on kerry just now entering his second year of power french president francois hollande has pledged to go on the offensive especially on the european front and with its calls to reform the e.u. in plans for in the referendum the u.k. has become his main target to criticize britain for splintering the block saying his duty was now to bring europe out of its refugee there's are reports he could be trying to prop up his own plummeting popularity. there's been a lot of your skepticism growing in the u.k. and david cameron had said that he wants to put the membership of the e.u. to a vote in twenty seventeen and when a lot was asked this question a lot simply said europe existed before britain joined it. was very noticeable how a lot has really been trying to go on the offensive it was acting showing himself

to be a strong leader at this point because he himself is facing a very large and growing euro skepticism in his own country if you just look at the latest figures there's a pew research showing that even if most french people still want to remain as part of the eurozone seventy seven percent of french people think that this closer economic ties with the entire union has been detrimental to their own economies so all on there seems to be he has been talking to the french people that is his audience for this speech trying to show how france can still go on even if the u.k. does leave the union if that's the final decision now a lot also said it criticized the u.k. for being such a euro skeptic essentially saying that this kind of rocking the boat attitude of the u.k. is threatening to splinter the e.u. is what we can see here is pointing out the fact that the u.k. really has been one of the most critical voices in the union so far and also all on criticize the austerity policy of david cameron and interesting really of a lot himself is facing no growth in his own country so he said that david

cameron's policies is hindering growth in the u.k. while france right now is officially in recession now again it's interesting to point out that when a lot of this trying to rebut and answers these questions he's speaking to the french people hoping the massive this satisfaction that he's facing for the french people will eventually turn and his leadership here is under question he's facing massive unemployment he's a very unpopular man at this moment so in trying to prove that he is still a french leader he is going on the offensive and it's unlikely that we're going to hear him say that france is not going to survive without the u k. for france slipping into recession the president of the land has pledged to get this country back on its feet but also criticized the u.k.'s david cameron and his austerity measures describing them as even harsher than other countries in the usa a former u.k. minister for europe david next train says while britain likes to chide its partners the entire block do better to focus on solving its financial troubles. every day

you could have papers in britain here or go to debates the house of commons where people are lecturing the french shouldn't everybody else in europe what to do certainly europe the european union at the moment is it a kind of giant blade gate figure before you get you because you it's not me i'm a good boy i'm going to get better the british labor broach the french blame the germans the germans played in scottish try to be i think playgrounds have got but i doubt in the least a certainly top leadership of europe we're moving after the catastrophe of the banking crisis where the banks were robbed by all these people who destroyed the a car that we had two thousand and eight was still living with the disasters of their incompetence with no i think want to have more banking supervision what's called a baggy union i think should be part of that. and while embattled economies are struggling to dig themselves out of the recession hole and the big international companies are still managing to save cash and shifting their profits around the

world to cut their tax bills both in countries end up paying the price we explain why in just a few minutes. it is time for us to settle this question about britain and europe. david cameron's under increasing pressure to guarantee a vote on the case of future in the you will have a sell out of britain's european partners fear that such a divorce could cause a strong to. europe's financial troubles are said to be fuelling a far right movements across the bloc include. with and it's not just economy neo nazi activists are preparing to march in germany there today and made accusations the country's authorities have underestimated the extremist threat that appears to be the case for other members to as artie's piece all of the now reports from britain in the west to greece in the east far right groups are making their voices heard.

you know we've got to make sure that i mean if we can play a diplomatic role to help cease the violence we should if we can certainly help rebuild this country i think we have a moral obligation to do so because we're up to par. there's becky stone national has been arrested on federal terrorism charges in the u.s. state of idaho the man is alleged links to an overseas militant organization but slipped through security controls when he entered the country three years ago it's increased worries that washington security programs are ineffective despite its list of suspected terrorists featuring nearly a million names auntie's miniport nine small. a thirty year old was becks and national has been arrested on a federal terrorism charges but just three years ago he was easily admitted to the u.s. as a refugee prosecutors have charged proselyte jean-paul but often with conspiring to provide material support to the islamic movement of uzbekistan an american designated terrorist organization put off he was arrested in boise idaho where he

a thing of the past for most americans health insurance companies are helping john pharmacy corporations drive up the competition even people with little choice in this report from. pharmaceuticals in the u.s. a major money maker. huge drug store chains are popping up on every street corner with multiple locations and list services when reid is writing aid whichever the big ones not that i prefer them but it's just that they're the only option we're from new jersey so we go to c.v.s. . one in new york doing read but mostly c.v.s. competition for mom and pop shops is steeper than ever in places like the big apple where rent alone is sky high small neighborhood pharmacies are all but it stings for the city overflowing to join chains like this one the town drugstore symbolically was always at the center of american culture and american life it now

has the big chains move in not only the prices tend to go up but they squeeze the little guys out of pharmacists however small pharmacies have more issues than just the increase of big box shops health insurance companies have been merging with drug stores taking away americans choice of where they can get their medicine if they fell at my location they would have to pay fifty percent of the cost of the medication if they feel that c.v.s. they would only pay thirty percent of the cost of the medication sarah fraud who has had her shop in a small community in upstate new york for about six months offering personal attention and a more intimate approach she's built a good reputation with the locals fast right now. but the pharmacist says an increasing number of her patients have been learning they have no choice but to do business elsewhere at a giant pharmacy across the street what they do is we just had one this week a woman came in she wanted to fill her prescriptions out our pharmacy she was sick

responsibility for the attack comes just a day after a suicide bomber hit a u.s. convoy in kabul killing two people. now severe tax hikes or large parts of the world are facing amid the ongoing global economic doldrums that's not bothering the world's biggest players well gee international companies are still finding ways to slash their tax bills rising calls for more action to crack down on tax avoidance and that's high on the agenda especially the u.k. it's not as politico now reports. there are one hundred of the u.k.'s biggest companies but new research shows that they're still cutting corners by saving money on tax ninety eight of the c. one hundred companies in the u.k. run the holding or subsidiary companies off shore these include high street giants such as barclays bank and tesco it's unlikely to make easy reading for the british government which is the past four years promising to clamp down on corporate tax

avoidance now actually is the charity that's been looking into the issue and i'm here to talk to tax policy expert mike lewis who authored the report where these findings come from. mike thank you very much for joining us the british government's been promising to clamp down on tax avoidance for a while now we've seen a number of stories and scrutiny towards companies such as starbucks and amazon and google so it looked like progress had been made but what did you find when you looked at the bigger picture on your research found that tax haven operations and companies are almost universal amongst the world's largest companies but the u.k. has a particular responsibility here one in five of the world's tax havens are under the u.k. jurisdiction what's the link between overseas tax havens and the developing world. the link quite simply is that the developing world in developing countries are suffering from tax avoidance further and faster than the u.k.

and other countries so the o.e.c.d. estimates that developing countries lose up to three times more money to tax havens every year than they receive in international aid this is to provide a real opportunity particularly to tackle the problem of tax havens and tax avoidance what we need from the g eight is a global deal that forces tax havens to disclose assets wealth. and forces them to share that information with countries from day one thank you very much for joining us they. as you've just heard david cameron has promised to tackle the issue of global tax avoidance at next month's g eight summit which britain will be chairing but so far it's unclear how firmly britain is prepared to act in order to stamp out the culture of corporate tax avoidance. r.t. london. coming up here or not he will take a closer look at bloomberg gates spying in prime interest a soft break here on. the
