europe doesn't need britain that's the message from the french president as he pledges to protect the integrity of the u.k. tries to claw back powers from brussels. killed in a string of bombings around baghdad and iraq's deadliest day in months as tension between the shiite led government and the sunni minority spiraled out of control. and a suspected terrorist is arrested in the u.s. three years after slipping past the country's border control raising fears america's security isn't up to scratch.

news and much more twenty four hours a day you're watching out. now entering his second year of power french president francois hollande has pledged to go on the offensive especially on the european front. to reform plans for an in out referendum the u.k. has become his main target to criticize britain for splintering the blog saying he's duty was now to bring europe out of its left. 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 he 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 is 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 that 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 criticized 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 along criticize the austerity policies of david cameron an interesting really of a lot himself is they see no growth in his own country so he said that david cameron's policies is hindering growth in the u.k.

while 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 years going on the offensive it's unlikely that we're going to hear him say that france is not going to survive without the u k. well with france slipping into recession the president alone has pledged to get his country back on its feet he also found time to criticize the u.k.'s david cameron and his austerity measures describing them as even harsher than other countries in the euro zone a conservative m.e.p. underestimate so as a britain simply doesn't care what the long thinks london and the u.k. is trying to drive its own economy in the best way possible i think orlando

is criticizing the u.k. when in fact he has plunged his own country into this deep and long term recession so really the u.k. is not here to take lessons from a socialist government that with high taxes passports the country he saw in country into severe difficulties even mr hollande is asking for more political union and this will require a new treaty so on the occasion a new treaty david cameron could really introduce a number of beneficial. for the united kingdom and eventually as i say he has promised a referendum so i don't think what mr landis saying is causing any damage or

is really influencing any situation in the united kingdom. and while embattled economies are struggling to dig themselves out of the recession hole many big international companies are still managing to save cash they're shifting their forfeits around the world to cut their tax bills and developing countries end up paying the price we explain why later in the program. 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 u.k. future in the you know ever so much of britain's european partners fear that such a divorce could be destructive. or europe's financial troubles are said to be fueling far right movements across the blocking polluting within it's not just economy you not see activists are preparing to march in germany elected today amid accusations the country's authorities have underestimated the extremist threat and

that appears to be the case for other events too as artie's peter all of the reports from britain in the west to greece in the east far right groups are making their voices heard in. the. finance this financial crisis affected everyone and it has allowed the right wing organizations to give people someone to blame for their problems it's those people's fault that is how they were cruet. greece has seen a marked increase in support for far right to be a nazi groups golden dawn an organization divided by the critics who thirds of heralded by their supporters as the saviors of greece for the greeks and they systematical the brits and cultivate.

a right wing groups that grew into today's neo nazis as well as and t. fascist organizations members of germany's mainstream right wing party the n p d insists that their policies are the only way to tackle the current problems facing the country. if we as german taxpayers have to save the entire europe we are going to go broke we have to admit that some european nations cannot be saved and focus on those that can't. it seems as long as europe's finances continue to languish in the red more and more its people are seeking answers with the right peter all over r.c. germany. iraq's deadliest day in months has claimed at least seventy six lives after a series of bombings and in the around baghdad the surge inviting fear is that the country could see a return to mass sectarian bloodshed and worst attack of the day came in two bombs

reengagement going to help i doubt that seriously but what i think we do need to do is to remember that we'll create these conditions and we haven't are going obligation and 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. and is based on national has been arrested on a federal terrorism charges in the u.s. state of idaho the man has alleged links to an overseas militant organization but slipped through security controls when he entered the country three years ago it's increased wineries that washington security programs are ineffective despite its list of suspected terrorists featuring nearly a million names auntie's arena portnoy has more. a thirty year old was pakistan national has been arrested on a federal terrorism charges but just three years ago he was easily admitted to the u.s. as

independent investigator found that officials at the witness protection program failed to share the fictitious identities that had been created for terrorism linked witnesses with the f.b.i. terrorist screening center that's the agency that maintains america's terrorist watch and no fly lists so as a result some participants of the witness protection program that were put on a no fly list could have flown commercial flights without approval in the meantime the u.s. that of these use to track suspected terrorists has reportedly reached eight hundred seventy five thousand me yes that's more people than the entire population of cyprus clearly washington does not how about our resources to monitor each and every name on the list and as recent developments have. alan the u.s. government has also pallets of suspected terrorists from entering or leaving the country morning from new york line up or not are. all the terrorist identities

a database was created in attempt to make sure every law enforcement body could be easily and to the balance of potential terror threat and managing editor of the monthly politics magazine of reason twenty four seven means there's a huge this actually creates more complications the great ironies is that the more information together and we do press or security organizations together more and more and more and more but somebody has to process that information is the more information you gather chances are the less you'll be doing any good and he datum that's in that database so you can have it as many names in there as you will on c.n.n. it's hundreds of thousands of just a million names in there at this point the chance of actually doing anything with any one of those names in the useful diminishes the larger the database comes the more information we scoop up the less we do in that so again we can talk about security measures all day long but it's going to open up in society people are going to come and go and some of them will eventually be identified as terrorism suspects. more stories coming your way arundhati including

the little guys out the 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

many countries are facing amid the ongoing global economic doldrums that's not bothering the world's biggest players knowledge international companies are still finding ways to slash their tax bills with rising calls for more action to crack down on tax avoidance and that's high on the agenda especially in the u.k. as artie's pretty boy corner 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 spent the past four years promising to climb 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 also 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 a new 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 g eight provides 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 and wealth. and forces them to share that information with countries from day one thank you very much for joining us they have 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. . well up next we take you to the helmeted museum in st petersburg where we meet some of its feline can take it as they view this.

a fairly dickinson university study has been revealed to twenty nine percent of americans think that a revolution won't just happen in america but needs to be done in order to protect individual liberty if respondents consider themselves conservative than that number is bumped up to forty four percent that's nearly half also fox news found out that since nine eleven the percent of americans willing to sacrifice their personal freedom to reduce the threat of terrorism is at an all time low this number might sound trivial but it only takes a tiny percent of the population actually start a revolution i mean how many communists were in russia at the start of nine hundred seventeen and how many were there at the end revolution may sound like a nice thing to a growing number of people but the media wrongly portrays revolution is some fun video game battle where freedom fighters topple the statue of the dictator and then

democracy just instantly comes about and life is good and happy i don't ask you to ignore movies like v. for vendetta and look at history revolutions cause horrible destruction that could take decades to repair i guess what when your economy collapses because a revolt infrastructure breaks down and the shelves go bare also professional revolutionaries get their supplies from somebody and a foreign powers would have say funded barrack and revolutionaries they would want something in return aloha and goodbye alaska if you look at history then you'll see that revolution is brutal and ugly and is truly the last resort but still is a resort but that's just my opinion.

it is easy to. see. this is the best time to come here before opening hours to hear all this.
