3:06 am
that like greece and portugal so it's going to be a bit of a problem to reach that figure. perhaps the i.m.f. can come in to fill in the gap you know we're we're at the point where basically the governments the. economy think in a state of austerity basically or the verge of one already just simply by dint of circumstances ukraine may welcome european money but within the block the lending program is facing growing criticism over how the loans become more of a headache than a relief for debt laden countries as the trio of international lenders known as the troika faces an e.u. probe we'll look at how confidence in the institution has waned in recent years that's coming up later in the program. as venezuela continues to be plunged into a wave of protests the u.s. has expelled three of the country's diplomats this comes after president maduro ordered the expulsion of three american diplomats accused of inciting the unrest at

with the british government under increasing pressure to curb immigration divides and u.k. communities are reaching breaking point in east london tensions are being stoked by vigilante patrols formed by both muslim and christian groups r.t. sarah firth reports. that today saw the start of the big goals given the christian patrolling six there's any patrolling town halls on the hills the small but make sure it's muslim patrols the new political calling themselves britain first have responded by filming what they've dubbed christie and patrols and this patrol comes complete with vehicle proof that bullet proof the whole thing is. he joins the they took to the streets in east london where we having full body heading down the road why the area. that's. been happening so far what. the group is being described as far right many of the members
3:09 am
a full. that they really get to differentiate themselves from these grapes and insist they don't want to be associated with violence but tactics such as baiting when members stand with big cans to try to lure out. the muslim patrols have proven controversial and some members of the creep have already faced the rest we'll hear . problems for anyone. trying. to confront them do you think be. intimidating. despite having a pretty condemned the muslim patrols at the time the east london mosque has been singled out by the christian patrol for criticism the mosque say they feel caught in the middle and are worried the patrol could inflame fragile community relations
3:10 am
our community certainly feels threatened by his. turning up to any part of the country. is. putting across the street. a strong message what the public needs to understand is that none of these groups represent the mainstream community or wider society out on london streets and well there's not much support to be found here i think first of all the border you shouldn't have a sense of. i'm sorry. i don't think that. every turn. down yeah yeah i mean you could not patrol yeah just leave these members of the public to be harassed part of shari'a patrols. so the security patrols have been operating in this area to somebody but that's not what we've been told since a number of arrests last year the muslim patrols have gone to ground it's unclear
3:11 am
that patrols are actually still operating that will likely come as some relief to police and community relations workers in this diverse area of london that despite the christian patrol activity the muslim patrols have. not taken the bait so let's see london. you're watching our chance for national we have more stories coming up for you right after the break including how israel has become a weapon superpower developing some of the world's most advanced arms and testing them in its neighboring territory.

3:14 am
lab in which he argues that israel's occupation of palestine and also to have such a prosperous weapons industry what armies all over the world want are weapons which were tested on real so to say guinea pigs in a real car we have this live correlate we have an availability of the availability of conflict and availability of war it starts with the drones for decades israeli drones have been hunting for palestinian militants and they had an arms caches making as well the go to country for unmanned aerial vehicles soon to become the world's largest exporter on the defense front the iron dome system proved its capabilities in the last gaza wall lining the pockets of these really military industrial complex nobody wants to talk about. because everybody is there peter. very appley it's a lot of money the political. we have a solution the idea of deserve to have
3:15 am
a solution years of fighting in close combat in gaza in the west bank have also given israelis the edge first weapons like the gun and to avoid assault rifles and now something that even hollywood is copping a gun that shoots around corners and as controversial as israel's with bank barrier is its state of the art security system is being copied along america's borders with canada and mexico i think the israelis are the most exciting in the country because they are developing something distinct immediately in the field so the engineering. goes directly to the army and can see if they all day develop with good or not after three years of working on his documentary is adamant there is no weapon israel has successfully exporting which the israeli army is not using in gaza in the west bound but it leaves the country with a lot to answer for it's doubtful the hugely influential arms industry has an
