prosperity thinks partially because rhetoric puts a question mark over the upcoming negotiations with the east the talks will merely be about the conditions of their surrender so those aren't really those that really talks in the true sense of the word so it's hard to be very optimistic about it everything that i've seen has shown that the jets and the military from here who are decimating the villages and i think this shouldn't be a surprise because the new president has already said quote we will attack and liberate our way and other members of his administration have referred to the people in the east as subhumans and insects and other things so this is it is ministration that has used to sexualize in the past i think we're seeing it yet again a. grainy in troops also becoming a presence on social media videos like this surfacing on the web filmed in a high quality presenting army regiments as organized combat units and picked up by media outlets but i can create an ocean found out if they match reality on the ground. members of the national guard to demonstrate

bystander many of the isis is most violent frontline fighters are believed to be saudi nationals there widespread reports that wealthy donors in saudi arabia had been funding the isis throughout their fight in syria and beyond riyadh may now say that it has nothing to do with the rise of this radical group that it itself is spread by it but experts believe saudi arabia has helped create the floors in ways more than just providing funding and fighters they need to think. that. and i think. saudi arabia means studio. a lot. just in the span of several years bolstered by the fight against assad in syria the isis has advanced so far as to declare an islamic caliphate a process that now controls both iraq and syria the question is whether saudi arabia sees the isis as

britain's queen elizabeth has unveiled the u.k.'s biggest warship at a ceremony in scotland the vessel named after the monarch is the first of two aircraft carriers billed at a cost of more than six billion pounds expected to be her majesty's last official engagement in scotland before the referendum on the country's independence in september reports. it's birth is taking place in scotland which is why the queen is christening the u.k.'s new super carrier with whisky instead of champagne according to the u.k.'s defense secretary it's a demonstration of britain at its very best the royal navy has sixteen ships and submarines and two royal marines commando units based in scotland the s.n.p. has promised to maintain all military establishment in scotland in the event of independence but the problem is that at the moment there's simply no agreement over what would happen to britain's defense says if scotland were to leave the union the u.k.'s first scene lord has warned that the royal navy is already constrained by
11:18 am
budget cuts and the split with scotland would further weaken the effectiveness of britain's maritime defenses since the s.n.p. say that they would abolish nuclear weapons in the event of a yes vote many questions surround the future of trying to end the u.k. submarine based nuclear missile system that stationed in western scotland tridents unique deep water location is a key strategic importance as it provides quick access to the atlantic finding somewhere else to park the u.k.'s nuclear deterrent would be a long and complicated process that's likely to make nato extremely nervous scotland's had a historical role in the royal navy at the battle of trafalgar almost a third of nelson's men were gods but if they vote yes to independence britain's new us super aircraft carrier could be the last to be launched in scottish waters

polly boyd r.t. . discussed implications for the defense forces with two british military experts should scotland separate the remainder of the u.k. will still have defense forces all i would say is that if you have a single unitary for. and you split it into two parts then it inevitably costs money to set up the other part with all the admin and things like that and it ends up less efficient so there will be less money effectively and we already don't spend enough on defense assuming that an independent scotland supplication to join nato was successful then then scotland would expect the rest of the nato organization to come to their aid and vice versa i think when we talk about defense and independent scotland all roads eventually lead to tried and now the s.n.p. government has said it would seek the speediest and safest removal of trident from scottish territory however there are huge implications in that because there
11:20 am
appears to be no where the trident fleet plus warheads could go in the u.k. in the short to medium term and to move it would be hugely expensive and disruptive the cost of redeploying at the trident the ballistic missile submarines and the weapons is huge particular if you try and do it very quickly there are places you could send them to over the long term but would the rest of you k. be willing to spend that extra money that's involved to do it and i'm not sure they would the fifty thousand jobs are depending on the defense industry in scotland what's going to happen to those jobs do you think if scotland says we're off i've talked to the head of some of the big firms that have small offshoots in scotland they will move south because the amount of money available for procurement within an independent scotland will be tiny and then these firms go where the money is the s.n.p. yes campaign does have to be more upfront with exactly how it sees those defense

a four hundred thousand square foot facility they have down in san antonio and other stories that they've had existing all along at fort meade as well as other facilities around the world anger at the way germany treats immigrants boiled over in berlin this week dozens of refugees held out against eviction by police inside an unused school threatening to torch the building and kill themselves crisis only abating when authorities agreed to turn the school into an international refugee center peter all over witness the scene when it comes to refugees the message from german leaders is clear. solidarity is first and foremost a basis for any relationship and a symbol of our democracy the refugees who arrive in the italian maltese coast are not just up to its silly or malta to deal with however this is the reality around sixty people are currently holed up in the abandoned schoolhouse just behind me here in central and they're angry it's the way they see refugees being treated here
11:25 am
in germany now what we have seen is a standoff between them and police a large group of demonstrators gather at either end of this street and they're angry at what they see as a double standard by the german government when it comes to refugee rights but if you. supply the weapons that are used in the conflicts that man these people had to flee then we don't let them work and put them in countless when they get here. is that our laws that deal with these people are very repressive and inhumane they make it so hard for people to stay here they're actually recognised as refugees from the u.n. convention but germany doesn't accept this status they just want to push them back into to delhi or departing back into their countries despite the words of the german president about doing more to help refugees this district in berlin remains in uproar over what they see as hypocrisy on asylum peter all over r.t. . after the break what it's like. in one of the world richest countries there with

us. yes it's official the mainstream media must be made up of stereotypical gossipy teenage girls i mean how else can you explain the fact that michelle obama using the term chipped has become a scandal i don't white house summit on working families mrs obama explained that when she was working part time she realized she was getting gypped because she was actually king full time but only getting paid the part time salary technically the term gypped is somewhat racist it implies the gypsies are all con men but in the modern world i think most people don't even know where the term comes from i doubt michelle obama likes a medieval peasant shield her children from wandering gypsies who could give them
11:27 am
the evil eye i seriously question that there is any deep racial intent in the statement i personally would let the first lady off the hook but the question is would she do the same for me or any other person in the media probably not but thankfully for mrs obama she can't be fired from being the first lady only divorced or her husband's term ends now for me and every other person saying their opinion on camera we've got to be a lot more careful but that's just my opinion. says the media leave us so we leave the people. closest to the. party is of. course is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politicking only on our team.

here we are on the lake what they could do jersey usa and what was going on in this town is really a fight. well we called gentrification one group of people is moving into the town and getting the lion's share of the housing for what it is is this new community is going in and they're they're buying up the homes but they're buying it up with the recycled taxpayer dollars see the ten it belongs to this group but also the landlord belongs to this group also so that the welfare money that goes to a top pay for their apartment goes back to the landlord in a same group so that money stays within their community and it's just recycle and so what what's happening here is they're buying up the rest of the community with tax taxpayer dollars and so basically what it is is the person living in a home is paying taxes he's paying for his home to be bought out by this new group
11:29 am
. as you know it's just not right it's just wrong and the the politicians are allowing it because a new population has a voting bloc and they vote as one organized group. and so come election time all the politicians want those thousands of votes on their side so they look the other way what they're doing in lakewood is illegal it's it's wrong it's unethical but the politicians look the other way because they want the votes of this voting bloc. this is the abuses and. solution is the problem is so this was this that's what. it's like is that because those who like for people who are paid to flows this.
