they're furious we've heard from angela merkel saying that she's surprised and stunned by the claims in the arrest of this security service employee the president of germany mr. and north is enough that if this turns out to be true well it has to be the end truth is this is far from the first time america has seemingly being called red handed snooping on one of its closest allies each time resulting in a similar ferocious barrage from mrs merkel oh no trust is the foundation of peace and friendship between nations. we have always enjoyed close cooperation with our american partners so frightening still fun sure you look great but after all that's come out from edward snowden's revelations that germany was one of the most spied on nations in the world that until america's private cell phone was booked and now

it seems that america was running double agents and the gym and security service come pain as a calling for more action from their lead is what i can only tell is on social media reaction people are absolutely inside so i mean they already have like lost face faith in their government and their elected officials it should be a strong reaction on the other hand i mean this is politics and i mean like not naive excuse me is that this is a surprise that that u.s. agents are active saw it no it's not a surprise after all that's gone on and been revealed about the shia size and scope of u.s. spying in germany what are they going to have to do before we see a real reaction from the german government peter all of the in a we're going to be back in just a few moments with lots more news on views to stick around.

dot com also there on the edge of disaster again the cooling system at japan's crippled fukushima nuclear plant is switched off after a new leak is discovered find out about the dangers it poses online. also waiting there for us sound day for boeing on a mystery for the emergency services after three earth plane fuselages landed on a remote riverbank go online to find out the. newly released video showing the moment two passenger planes almost collide at barcelona earth ports one was crossing the runway on the ground as the other came in to land at a boeing from russian airline new terror holds up the last minutes of voting the argentinian or a bus spanish flight controllers insists the two would not have collided but aviation expert christie aides told us the growing control where the plane. were in

control can quite clearly be at fault because both of these had appliance around traffic control instruction at the time so the jets landing would have been listening to the. traffic controller giving him instruction the argentinean jets would probably have been listening to ground control giving him instructions on what to do and quite frankly the crowd on the ground to the argentinian jet should have been given instruction to hold short of the runway the two pilots in the jets and not noticed the continuing jets crossing the runway it might have been that the utah jets would come down straight in. and out and to me in chat. for centuries british workers have been up the coal face of the country's economic success but these days everyone from lords popstars to

celebrity chefs even say their country folk have grown lazy but how warranted is the claim of find. the great british work force one that gave birth to an industrial revolution helped build an empire and brought the world the railways the telephone the jet engine and the t.v. brits may insist they still work their fingers to the bone but that actually found to be less productive than in countries like the us germany and even those old rivals france and the former conservative deputy prime minister lord has all time says he knows why but the veteran heavyweights great stereo get up early enough they aren't ambitious enough and they simply don't work hard enough tough as it was to steel myself from an afternoon down the pop i bucked myself up to ask the successful entrepreneur where they he agrees that brits are just lazy unfortunately you know we have situations where they come in for interviews they've got no issues

as. the scruffy that's what we want we have a lot of people. we would want to go work and you know which is a friction economy overseas allowing us to bring in a lot of foreigners and employ actual fact you know i mean i want to be sure i am but part about ten percent of charlie's two hundred staff and now foreign and that figure is likely to grow because he says they simply pull their weight but try telling that to london's office workers who are quite frankly insulted what a treat so you don't think brits are lazy that's the norm not the work i'm grateful that i work too many hours maybe compared to the coaches we have more the work life balance by that that's necessarily a bad thing. but now i would say with lazy work that we do work quite hard just because europeans i always here have ready know how the summer holidays and they

take time out also take time off in the office to me yeah it was a lot of them to be in the office right now where. so much more. and yet british workers produce about a fifth less for every hour worked than any of the leading g seven nation even celebrity employees like madonna accuse the brits of indolence top chef jamie oliver has said that his restaurants would close if they went to any european immigrants to work in them charlie mullins the work ethic starts at school believe if we can buy more trucks. we're going to get a lot more people a lot more bricks in the workplace and we need to start this is school level you know we need to go into schools and. fortunately you know. the consequence according to the international monetary fund this month is that slack staff pose a major risk to britain's future economic health but if that's not enough to gouge

brits off the couch perhaps charlie's an example of just how far good old fashioned british hard graft can get. charlie working hard they're ok more international news in brief right now police in kuwait fired tear gas this person hundreds of protesters who are demanding the release of a former opposition politician he was detained on suspicion of insulting the judiciary after revealing documents about judges allegedly taking bribes security forces arrested a number of the demonstrators the rallies over to dish will corruption have continued for several days. to mexico where a deadly stampede of a concert involving followers and of people caused a wall to cops three have been confirmed dead and over a dozen were injured officials say people rushed forward after shots were heard in the midst of the crowd.

radical militants from the so-called islamic state group have reportedly expelled sixty thousand people from their homes in eastern syria the jihadists have managed to take over large parts of syrian on a rocky territory and installed on the caliphates the occupied lands the reports radicals are demolishing shrines in northern iraq they see as the islamic the rise of extremist movements in the middle east is the subject of today's edition of cross talk you can watch the full show next hour. the idea that somehow what is resulted in the regime is the how either by design or by desire on the part of the west i think is actually a bit of a stretch don't tell me that this is not a western calculate move there is tons of equipment going into this area and it's not coming from russia it's not coming from china it counts coming from the west united states does not have an interest in the.

sony and the great extent obama are doing it if it. doesn't then. well while the experts argue over western influence in the conflict the leader of the jihad just has demonstrated that at the very least he has a taste for luxury western goods during his speech the declaration of a caliphate he was sporting a very expensive watch worth thousands of dollars which looked like a rule x. that prompted ridicule across social media users have mocked his love of luxury western brands while he publicly denounce is western culture. schools traffic jam to highways and byways road rage can strike at any time in fact the roads are becoming so aggressive the authorities are stepping in as paul scott reports. unfortunately they sort of seeing a school too common in russia so common in fact will make his have recently and for

the first time introduced an aggressive driving belt and punishing those who use their vehicles to intimidate or harass other road users campaigners say it's a step in the right direction however they still have concerns because legislation is gradually getting tougher in russia but it forced many just isn't in place was to have a long way to go before we learned to implement laws how do you control its enforcement how do you make sure it won't be abused as a gravy train by all the dirty cops at times central moscow resembles a car park rather than a road network stationary traffic from bumper to bumper as far as the eye can see even while speaking to dimitri examples of road rage were evident. there are many ways in which aggressive driving manifest itself driving too close to the car in front impatiently flashing your lights or sounding your horn and skipping a red light are just some examples and on occasions these displays of frustration

lead to violence. so how common is aggressive driving we are some drivers caught in the moscow rush hour. road rage is all around men show no respect for female drivers fines this is what can help i can see no other way but i guess it's inevitable on the road it doesn't go as far as to killing somebody but fights do take place i was a witness to one. sure men do it especially often can you recall something particularly unpleasant given the middle finger. how did you respond i do the same. so why do people become so aggressive behind the wheel when most such people are probably prone to mood swings and on able to control themselves so road rage is just one manifestation of this disorder is just that the car gives you an illusion. and of a safer place to be the decision to post the aggressive driving bills has authority all keen to be seen to be addressing the issue but with

a maximum fine of five thousand rubles around one hundred fifty dollars there's a concern the deterrent isn't strong enough being scenes like this could be seen for some time to come on t.v. moscow. is the news this hour in r t international but still ahead here it's sophie code discussing iraq's gloomy future in the face of the hottest ticket on. what people talk about human rights violations usually involve some pro western protesters getting beaten up and the response from mainstream media is usually to bomb somebody somewhere so good thing they haven't picked up a story from detroit that the u.n. is calling a human rights violation residents of the motor city are sadly the former motor

city who are hundred fifty dollars or more behind on their water bills are getting their water shut off completely the detroit water and sewage department is five billion dollars in debt and that is a justification to crack down on deadbeats on the surface the seems like an open and shut case of course everyone has the right to water especially detroit which is near a huge bodies of fresh water that other cities can only dream of but on the other hand if the poor don't pay for water then us taxpayers will be paying for it for them and that's not fair i think this is not so much a case of a right to water but a right to decent employment and a corruption free city government back when people detroit had good salaries and a government that wasn't flagrantly corrupt they would have any problems paying for their water bills but that's just my opinion. bryce of the islamic state or isis in the middle east is said to reward a political. in the region the westfield colonial agenda for the arab world is coming to an end it would seem that the arab spring has been replaced with

a jihadi. welcome to go on sophie shevardnadze general najib. served his nation whose whole adult life first in the military under saddam hussein and then as the mayor of the town of tal afar after the u.s. invasion his efforts to combat militant extremism by working iraq's sectarian divides managed to bring peace to the city but now as says that it's controlled far his former mayor follows that spate closely with concern he's here with us today to explain what exactly is going on in iraq today. as isis may.
