europe doesn't need britain that's the message from the french president just to protect the ears integrity you can't trust a call back powers 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. and a suspected terrorist is arrested in the u.s. three years after slipping past the country's border controls. the security isn't up to scratch.

costing from the heart of moscow this is kerry just now our top story entering his second year of power french president francois hollande has pledged to go on the offensive especially on the european front with its calls to reform the e.u. and plans for an in out referendum the u.k. has become his main target to criticize britain for splintering the book saying his duty was now to bring europe out of its lethargy there's also the 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'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 their seem so 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 criticize 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 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 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 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 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 conservative m.e.p. martin just sense says britain simply doesn't care what alone 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's own country into severe difficulties even mr hollande is asking for more political union and this will require a new treaty so on the occasion of these new treaty david cameron could really introduce our 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 the embattled economies are struggling to dig themselves out of the recession hole many big international companies are still managing to save cash shifting their profits around the world to cut their tax bills as developing countries end up paying the price we explain why 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.'s future if you will ever so much of britain's european partners fear that such a divorce could cause this traffic. well europe's financial troubles are said to be fuelling far right movements across the bloc including within its largest economy neo nazi activists are preparing to march in germany later today and with accusations the country's authorities have underestimated the extremist threat and

that appears to be the case for other members to the saudis peter all of the reports from britain in the west to greece in the east far right groups are making their voices heard in europe. 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 from the far right groups golden dawn and her organization divided by their critics who thirds of heralded by their supporters as the saviors of greece for the greeks and they systematically not only preach good and cultivate. but

they attack systematically immigrants at the present golden dawn of the most they have elected officials on their books including the current greek m.p. elias can the artist says it's not only in politics that extreme right views are permeating this goal celebration by a key athens is just cut the b.s. so the midfielder for life from the national team despite his claims that he didn't know what this meant and here in germany a country which experienced firsthand the horrors of nazi ism right wing extremist groups springing up right now with tension in germany is focused on the murder trial of better know as the nazi right she's accused of being part of a national socialist terrorist cell and claimed to have murdered nine immigrants and one police woman in the two thousands after nine hundred forty five are told about what happened in the war on the holocaust of course but some held on to those

ideas when the wall came down we saw last rise in 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. as 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 yet. it seems as long as europe's finances continue to languish in the red more and more people are seeking answers with the right peter all of a job. iraq's deadliest day in months has claimed that least seventy six lives after a series of bombings in and around baghdad the surge in violence has raised. fails that the country could see returned mass sectarian bloodshed or the worst attack

the day came when two bombs exploded near sunni mosque in who were killing more than forty people were also lost and for the funeral south of baghdad with twin bombings in a city district self muslims were the target of similar attacks before the total of one hundred thirty people killed in violence keith ellison is a u.s. congressman who believes that america's involvement has contributed to its. up think we have an obligation to stay engaged with iraq. diplomatically and developmentally militarily quite honestly i don't i i am not convinced that we can add a meaningful improvement to the situation with some point our role in iraq militarily needs to come to in and even if there is horrible military or or violence going on there i mean the question has to be raised is our reengagement

going to help i doubt that seriously but what i think we do need to do is to remember that we helped 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 are part. 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 that managed to slip through security controls and he entered the country three years ago it's increased worries that washington security programs are ineffective despite its lists of suspected terrorists featuring a million names in a point nine small. a thirty year old was specs 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 us leadin corben off with conspiring to provide material support to the islamic movement of uzbekistan an american designated terrorist organization and off he was arrested in boise idaho where he has lived since immigrating to the u.s. said nine but what's not clear is how a man allegedly tied to a terrorist network was able to bypass the u.s. is seven hundred billion dollar national security apparatus and enter the country some would argue that homeland security officials should have thoroughly vetted it was back and rejected his application for refugee status but when it comes to the u.s. homeland security system expensive doesn't necessarily equate to a fact it according to a report by the u.s. inspector general the u.s. justice department temporarily lost track of former terrorists who participate

around the 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 count but our resources to monitor each and every name on that list and as. development challenge the u.s. government has also pallets of suspected terrorists from entering or leaving the country according to new york bring up or not arson. well the terrorist identities

database was created in attempts to make sure every no enforcement body could be easily and knotted about a potential terror threat and managing editor of the monthly politics magazine reason twenty four seven says a huge lists actually create more complications the great irony 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 it gather chances are the less you know to do it and he did it and he data because it's in that database so you can have it as many names in there as you will on this 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 and if he useful diminishes the larger the database comes the more information we scoop up the less we do it so again we can talk about security measures all day long but it's a for an avid open society people are going to come and go and someone will eventually be identified as terrorism suspects. well many more stories are coming

severe tax hikes are what many countries are facing amid the ongoing global economic doldrums that's not bothering the world's biggest players large international companies are still finding ways to slash their tax bills with rising calls for more action to crack down on tax avoidance what's high on the agenda especially in the u.k. it's pretty boy reports now. 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 footsie 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 it 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 in 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 tax haven operations and companies are almost universal amongst the world's largest companies 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. 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. well coming up arundhati it's time for a show a prime interest that's off the break stay with us.

a fairly dickinson university study has been revealed to twenty nine percent of americans think that a revolution will 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 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 as 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 fundamental 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 it's truly the last resort but still is a resort but that's just my opinion. well with. science technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. good afternoon welcome to prime interest i'm hearing i'm boring here and washington
