and europe's biggest battle in a vibrantly edited clip of the right sector movement of ukraine states its mission and well something that the revolution here ended with the ousting of president of the college its leader dmitri jarosz has a different view. to fortune this is just the beginning ukraine's resurrection europe's resurrection they started our my down. but does this resurrection require the storming of political party offices the torching of politicians houses and the manhunt for journalists from the new government at this recently the offer of your award for the whereabouts of a russian journalist from the r.t.r. channel for what they call providing false information so you can see where we are heading now the jewish community in southeastern ukraine thought calm had returned but on tuesday and identified man tried to set the town synagogue ablaze with molotov cocktails pushed for masked men started throwing explosives at our
8:05 am
synagogue and around eleven pm our security tried to catch the perpetrators but they failed. the right sector is the core and the voice of the uprising but the extent of its involvement in the acts of vandalism and violence walking ukraine now is hard to verify the attacks are often perpetrated by unidentified masked men finding who exactly they represent is difficult the word on the street is that there are several armed factions operating under them i done than are now raising serious concerns about the rise of x. . just as the symbols of the tragic past resurface on ukraine streets we witness right now. a very hypocritical approach to politics especially by the european union and by the european states they say they fight against extremists inside the european union they fund extremists and support extremists and also i
8:06 am
think the opinion. despite what is widely seen as a victory over the regime to my done remains intact with that right sector standing firm some of its members may leave independence square soon though possibly jumps in the river to do real ministry one parliament forms a unity government on thursday looks you worship fortune from kiev ukraine promises of european financial aid a might be welcome in any ukraine but within the blog the lending program is facing growing criticism amid fears that it's malfunctioning as the european parliament admits that the work of international lenders needs fixing our team find out how the public views of the system so watch our full report here later this hour. with the u.k. government struggling to contain the rise of islamophobia at home some britons are not making the job any easier a group of activists has started patrolling the streets of east london in armored
8:07 am
vehicles claiming they want to protect people from being harassed by radical muslims but some locals fear the campaign is only igniting tensions as sarah ferguson now reports they want to be so obvious rather the big guns given out with christian patrolling that there's any patrolling town wholesomely hills is the small but make sure it's muslim to chose a new political group calling themselves britain first have responded by filming what they've dubbed christie and patrols and this patrol comes complete with vehicle proof the bullet proof the whole thing is all of the. he joins them as they took to the streets in east london where we had in full heading down to watch our road why the area particularly because that's where a lot of trouble to happen. was to make fun of the group has been described as far right many of their members a former b.m.p. or e.t.l.
8:08 am
but they really get to differentiate themselves from these grapes and insist they don't want to be associated with violence pick tactics such as baiting where members stand with empty beer cans to try and lure out the muslim patrols have proven controversial and some members of the creep have already faced the rest we're here to relieve. the problems for anyone the. muslim extremists are carrying they sure have drawn the running. from them do you think the christian patrols intimidating. about this point having a purely 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 our community certainly feels threatened by his antics turning up to. any
8:09 am
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 either. first trophy level with you shouldn't have been censored loud i'm sorry. l b n. yeah below is a. yeah thank you very much for that do you think it is all going to be completely peaceful here there are going to be moments where obviously there's a potential for trouble there always will be there's nothing we can do to avoid that. members of the public.
8:10 am
to some fun 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 if their patrols are actually still operating that will likely come as some relief to policing community relations workers in this diverse area of london that despite the christian patrol activity the muslim patrols of safe are not taken the bait so . the london. and coming up the hidden cost of one of israel's most a lucrative industries while the country is on its way to becoming an arms exporting superpower its test procedures are putting palestinians at risk and i'll report and that is after the break.
8:11 am
a transit route to vnukovo report you'll best way to the heart of moscow. there's a media lead us so we leave the media by the same motions to the other your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers
8:12 am
from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . welcome back to watch nineteen international live from moscow let's now take a look at what's happening in ukraine as we're closely monitoring the situation for you there all right now as you can see these are. live live pictures coming out of ukraine and southern ukraine i should say from the town of sin for awful the capital of crimea will crowds as you can see are demonstrating against the interim government in the capital kiev brand to get illegitimate taseer is that you are looking at now are calling on local officials to hold a referendum on greater autonomy for their region and stronger ties with russia meanwhile rival protesters supporting the new regime are chanting ukraine is not
8:13 am
russia and are trying to walk the local parliament and it's session several scuffles have broken out already while here and i see international will continue of course to follow all the very latest developments in the city so do stay with us for more updates and also. you can check out our online pager tito com and twitter as well as facebook pages. in the meantime the european parliament has slammed the work of international lenders and of minutes to multiple flaws in a euro zone bailout program and it's a report to admit stat financial institutions have failed in their key goal of protecting euro zone members from collapse the so-called troika of lenders is also accused of failing to consult national governments and merely giving them ultimatums moreover the reports as a troika lacks accountability and transparency at plies
8:14 am
a blanket approach to all crisis hit countries are just bitter all reports on the growing discontent with the system. their hands on the purse strings of europe's cash strapped. that confidence in the euro zone's three biggest lenders known as the troika is wavering in terms of public debt in terms of potential role in terms of unemployment there is. worse now than before the troika intervention in the country like greece made up of the international monetary fund the e.u. and the european central bank the idea behind the troika was to get the most indebted eurozone nations back on an even keel through bailouts and at times crippling austerity measures ireland became the first to leave the bailout program at the end of last year not before cutting thirty billion euro from the budget and seeing salary squeeze by twenty percent in southern europe in hopes of a light at the end of the tunnel anti especially for the generation growing up in
8:15 am
detroit that unemployment is not trivial to fall so we are going to be facing a. a large number of young people in countries like greece or spain youth unemployment is over fifty percent and these people have little prospect of getting a job and achieving some sort of economic security this is seen european lawmakers call into question the ability of the troika to deal with the scale of the crisis and to attack its methods the troika acts like a acts like a governor. and visits its colonies in the south though here are going to want to do the measures they came up with are not they're not always very effective the credibility of its economic forecasts is cause most unease to keep concerning greece which is received two hundred forty billion euros in loans so far in twenty eleven the troika predicted economic growth in greece of one percent however the
8:16 am
reality was a seven percent shrink just a one off you might think then in twenty twelve they predicted two percent growth which ended up as a further four percent downturn those running for election to the european parliament this year say that the current systems in place for trying to deal with the crippling debts in some parts of the eurozone just aren't working and that a new solution other than the troika will have to be found in the next parliament with some accusing the troika of trying to cover up its mistakes but there is quite a bit of propaganda going on right now trying to make people believe that there is an improvement in those southern european countries in fact there's no improvement that i can see because the debt situation is verse than ever the banking crisis is still not resolved. germany. well also in germany as some are still living in the shadows of the nazi past a new report from the council of europe commission against racism and intolerance
8:17 am
says the country's not doing enough to stamp out discrimination and homophobia let's now cross our live to her spotless account for the full is in germany for us lucy a what's in this new study. hi there will germany has to do more in order to fight racism and intolerance that's according to a new report by the council of europe the continent's leading human rights organization that this report accuses germany of focusing too much on the threat posed by the far right and that's meant that other forms of discrimination like racism or homophobia were somewhat overlooked and this is largely in terms of both both registering as well as prosecuting those kinds of crimes now the silver lining here is that germany has done a good job of luring young people away from the neo nazis see in the report also praise of the country for a program that lets people applying for jobs anonymously in order to make sure that no one's discriminated for for age or origin but when it comes to battling homophobia and racism the report says that germany simply has
8:18 am
a lot more work to do one of the things that are recommends is tougher penalties for crimes against sexual religious or ethnic minorities as well as an overhaul of the way in which germany registers these kinds of incidents because right now there simply is a lack of confidence among victims in the german investigation process as a result many victims of racist or homophobic assaults simply don't report them to the authorities that's a major problem this report says you know the council of europe also took issue with germany's penal code like the legal system here basically in many european union countries racial motivation for one example is considered as a factor in a crime one passing a sentence well not here in germany over here racial in part anyway should. be racial incitement as well as his speech is only punishable when someone is found to have disturbed the peace something which is really quite difficult to prove in a court of law now the. ports every five years the recommendations aren't binding
8:19 am
and of course it's up to the individual countries to decide what if anything to do about it but the authors of the report do say that intolerance is something they see as growing all across europe not just here in germany. or at least thanks so much for bringing us more on this report and reporting there from berlin for us. and let's move on to venezuela as a country continues to be plagued by nationwide street protests the u.s. has expelled three of its diplomats and this comes after president maduro ordered three american diplomats to leave his country accusing them of inciting the rest at least fifteen people have been killed in rioting that started two weeks ago with demonstrators demanding that endure resign over high level of crime and the stagnant economy but some experts believe the roots of the sand lead far beyond the country's borders. the united states has opposed and charges for a very long time and so has
8:20 am
a conservative government in colombia both governments have seen various ways whether it is by the r.c. for being paramilitaries going to going to split up from colombia or also the us government supporting opposition groups with funding and with this probably statements that for example kerry recently gave secretary of state kerry gave which essentially gives you a position may shorten your arm because he you know there are protests even though it's quite clear that most of the protests are over are being violent and are so you can come for tensions with the police. now israeli arms sales are booming but they're also coming under heightened criticism the industry sold over ten billion dollars worth of weapons in two thousand and eleven and two thousand and twelve what is facing awkward questions over poor to detailing its use of the palestinian territories as testing grounds our disposal year has details i think there is a very big elephant in the room in israel very big fact you know reality which is
8:21 am
seldom spoken about and that's as far as most people go on israel's arms industry but how has a country the size of the american state of new jersey become the world's sixth largest exporter people don't really ask why is it why the hell this small country became such a superpower of weapons your time feldman is a journalist and filmmaker he recently released his award winning documentary the nab in which he argues that israel's occupation of palestine and also to have such a prosperous weapons industry what are all over the world one are weapons which were tested on real so to say guinea pigs in a real cause we have this live conflict we have an availability of this and availability of conflict in. availability of war it starts with the drones for decades israeli drones have been hunting for palestinian militants and the hidden
8:22 am
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 war lining the pockets of these really military industrial complex nobody wants to talk about. because everybody is there people. in the street is very upset it's a lot of money the politicians over here we have a solution the idea of his appeal we have a solution years of fighting in close combat in gaza in the west bank have also given israelis the edge first weapons like the guy 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 west 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 the most exciting in the country
8:23 am
because they are developing something distinct immediately in the field so their engine nearing one billion dollars a day goes directly to the army and can see if they or they develop with good or not after three years of working on his documentary your time is adamant there is no weapon israel is successful exporting which the israeli army is not using in gaza in the west bank but it leaves the country with a lot to answer for it's doubtful the hugely influential arms industry has an interest in peace because for as long as this will hold on to the west bank and gaza it has a defining testing and showcasing weapons systems and industrial military front that's a main secure policy r.t. tel aviv james bond boasted a gun that could fire only. when he himself was holding it as we poured on our website such a weapon is no longer the stuff of fiction and can actually be bought in america
8:24 am
