are being targeted to foreign buyers artie's marina explains. the f. thirty five stealth fighter jet is the crime to look ram of military planes. and the pentagon's most expensive conventional weapons program it's a game changer the f. thirty five fighter jet is manufactured by lockheed martin combining state of the art technology with highly advanced avionics and maneuverability the pentagon plans to buy nearly twenty five hundred f. thirty five but delays and cost increases have left u.s. lawmakers frustrated over the three hundred eighty five billion dollar price tag and that's where america's allies come in. lockheed martin has turned to international partners at least eight foreign contracts are on the table but none have a final price tag so far canada's latest calculations have only proved that the cost will be at least ten billion dollars higher than expected experts suggest f.
11:11 am
thirty five are something of a gamble for everyone involved there's never been anything anywhere near as expensive and the entire process is one in which the costs can only go up. the other problem is that the more they spend in the more the united states in the manufacture and now a whole bunch of other countries become invested in it more they have to go ahead in any of these countries that want to be a couple of years feel that they have no choice boosting demand from foreign investors is believed to be essential for the pentagon and lockheed martin why because the more f. thirty five are produced the cheaper each jet is to build and maintain her in a porsche nine party. the f. thirty five has suffered one setback after another in the most recent case the entire fleet was drawing dead and testing suspended after one of the planes suffered an oil leak but the engines are not the only area this aircraft has
11:12 am
experience problems with in fact as you're about to see well the plane's been suffering well documented tracks from head to tail the pentagon even stopped it from flying within forty kilometers of a thunderstorm other theories its fuel tank could explode if struck by lightning now we spoke to the man who helped design the iconic f. sixteen and a ten aircraft and he had very little to say good by this the f. thirty five it's one of the worst airplanes we've ever designed. for a lot of reasons but the most important reason is that it was compromised by having to do three different jobs you can never make a good airplane if you don't focus on a single drop a single mission and then they made it even worse by saying that we saved money by giving it up among three services so now you have three missions pulling the airplane in different directions now you have three services three bureaucracies adding their parochial point of view to the airplane it was
11:13 am
a complete mess and mind you this is the most expensive single project that the that the defense department has ever undertaken. the stain for a promo campaign coming up the u.s. offered hard cash for ideas on how to gain support for its trade agreement with europe but gets only a stream of sarcasm of condemnation which. side of the beautiful game later we sort fact from fiction surrounding the infamous hooligan takes of russia's football fans. thousands of britons are marching on parliament demanding the government rein in its wave off cuts among the protesters or politicians celebrities and union leaders all upset with a blanket a sturdy imposed by london or a surf earth reports from among the crowd. well the until starts the protesters making their way to central london at the moment if you take

11:17 am
. a welcome back to the program if you can convince them just stuff for cold hard cash that's what the u.s. government is doing offering large rewards to anyone who can come up with ways of promoting an unpopular trade pact with europe but the campaign hasn't worked out quite as planned as peter all over now explains. the united states has been accused of a cynical propaganda campaign after a tweet originated from its embassy just behind me here. this tweet was with regard to the transatlantic trade and investment partnership between europe and the united states now the tweet was offering up to twenty thousand u.s. dollars for any project people could come up that would protect the treat deal in a good light though it has come in for some scathing criticism from people here in europe mostly because of worries over
11:18 am
a decrease in standards the standards for products in europe are far higher than they are in the united states also on workers' rights as well now this is seen environmentalist environmentalists trade unions and health campaign is all railing against this trade deal to put that into perspective of the public opinion here in europe when it comes to the environment ninety six percent of germans say they have faith in european environmental regulation well only two percent believe in regulations inforced in the united states has also been controversy surrounding genetically modified foods not like here in europe people have demonstrated against them however there is concern that because of u.s. labeling laws they could inadvertently become into the european markets so all of these things the same criticism of the street well it's kind of backfired they have
11:19 am
come in for far more criticism online because of this. the investment partnership deal comes with plenty of bulls promises trade barriers would disappear along with any regulatory differences between the u.s. and the e.u. are protected just under two hundred fifty billion dollars to america and europe's collective g.d.p. would expand both economies but critics say it all comes of too high a price the fear corporations would use the agreement to gain too much power over governments and the taxpayers would end up footing the bill for anything that goes wrong the sheer size of the new trade zone on the lack of transparency would make it much harder to hold companies to account for breaching regulations michael shank of the washington based friends committee on national legislation believes is quite simply a step backwards while it's good for investors it's bad for health it's bad for the environment it's bad for labor and it's bad for regulations that countries and states have worked for decades to institute so those are some of the biggest
11:20 am
concerns and what it says to russia or what it says to china with the t p p is that we don't want you a part of this conversation and in this very globalized interconnected world particularly on trade because we don't have many barriers between us and e.u. already so when we're doing t.j. it's not really about removing trade barriers because the tariffs are quite low it's about saying to the rest of the world we have this partnership it's exclusive and you're not going to be a part of it. just a click away on our t. dot com we're looking at how environmental groups have been responding to a surprising allegation from the head of nato greenpeace didn't mince its words when reacting to chief moose taking orders from the kremlin as part of a plot to subvert governments find out what exactly was said on our website. there japan may have failed to score during their latest world cup. impression on brazil by keeping the stadium. get the full story.
11:21 am
of the japanese fans we just saw there the reputation of russian supporters could not be in the way they reportedly displayed neo nazi bombers during their side's opening world cup match in brazil some speculated this could lead to the national team being the ducted points by. investigates the origins of russian football hooliganism like this present moment. showing support for your team in russia could mean this this. or this. one of your first of all because in one thousand nine hundred eighty when spacek was playing cisco in moscow we had a huge fight went blue warriors came up against us there was more than eight hundred people involved in a brawl but you know and that is just one of the fights i see described now a retired hooligan he says fan culture has changed massively in russia you know if
11:22 am
you a stereotype of an english football hooligan or an italian ultras is no longer applied to us we went our own way now there are no loud criminal cases against you look and compared to the ninety's back in the soviet days football was considered one of the nation's sprites history's best goalkeeper left us and the team which won the first ever european championship and the police of revolutionary managers with the break up of the soviet union football just as many other spheres of life suffered a major setback it may be a coincidence but along with these problems came whole again isn't. it's still unclear what caused this surge in violence but in recent years russian hooligans have remained visible from violent pitch invasion. and racist incidents involving swastikas in the stands near nazi views and as you know phobia are among the most debate that issues back in twenty to one a fan was killed during fighting in moscow that escalated into ethnic violence thousands of ultras made themselves heard right outside groups not only have
11:23 am
a propaganda is the culture of violence but they explained why this violence was needed that's why i know c.v.s. a popular there because force and violence are the basis of naziism and fascism but former hooligan and founder of russia's largest fan movement evocate and i have believes the issue is often blown up in the press and problems are usually solved even before they appear. to spearhead events at the my down in ukraine some of them are in the national guard now so potentially this is a very dangerous part of society but our role for it is a pursuing a very clever strategy with who live in communities so there's no danger from them in russia these fights happen every weekend but no one knows if they happen out of town in forests and strictly upon agreement of. the twenty thirteen movie tells the story of a firm of hooligans consisting partially of white collar workers where death and destruction rub shoulders with love and friendship one of its characters keeps
11:24 am
asking the question why do you fight us but with all of. the movies next world cup in twenty eighteen let's see moscow. moving on seventeen militants have been killed in iraq during infighting between anti-government sunni groups over one million people have been displaced by the insurgency since the start of this year according to the u.n. and that number is only expected to rise as the army tries to push back the advance of an al qaida offshoot isis which wants to establish an islamic state spawning several countries already in control of large parts of iraq including the second largest city mosul and it's not so easy in a baghdad meanwhile the first three hundred u.s. military advisers promised by washington to aid the iraqi security forces arrive later today but maybe east expert joshua landis believes the u.s. is reluctant to push this too far in view of the catastrophic results of the two
11:25 am
thousand and three invasion you can watch the full interview in the worlds apart tomorrow here on our t.v. but for now here's a taste or. this entire isis episode shows the incredible strategic blunder of president george w. bush in attacking iraq and casting down the cities from the top of society to the bottom destroying the state of iraq which kindled this sectarian struggle the united states is debating today about how much support to give to maliki many people believe that he is too sectarian that if america supports him it will offend sudanese turn send the world against the united states and alienate our support in the gulf therefore they're very reluctant to get in with direct military support they would like to get diplomats on the ground to begin negotiating as they did during the occupation.

follow the news with marina cost driven just over thirty minutes time but up shortly here on r t international abi martin's briefing missing it. so are we going back to iraq recently violence has flared up as insurgents are taking cities from the current iraqi government and response to this chaos obama declared that his administration is prepared to take military action whenever our national security is threatened oh well since the weapons of mass destruction were never found in iraq and the current militants can't shoot a key forty seven over the ocean i don't see how us national security is at risk now or before the iraq war even started but on the other hand the flow of oil from us but tamia well that might be at risk but sometimes i forget that obama is a politician and just
11:27 am
a day later he was quoted as saying quite the opposite about the same situation to occurring that we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq which sounds great to my ears until you wait yet another few days and now he is saying that they want to send at least two hundred seventy five troops to provide support and security for u.s. personnel and the us embassy in baghdad i think this orwellian attitude towards the truth comes from two factors one lying works and obama gets away with it and to the fear of looking weak presidents have to act confident like they were total control of that awesome plan even when they have no idea what they're going to do i think this is the case with this iraq issue but that's just my opinion. the supreme a tool european views on any want what they're going to do budget israelis think the european union's a job they don't listen to i'm sure there are a means to what will we do mean if if the european you knew it well could do both
