really knows what's inside the filling. of the back to what you are to international new documents published on monday have exposed the close links between america's national security agency and israel they say the n.s.a. has been providing tel aviv with intelligence as well as cash to combat palestinian terrorism point boyko has the details. when greenwald says that every time another attack on gaza takes place just like that shelling of the un school shelter the u.s. and public figures in the us talk about how devastating the conflict is as though it's some sort of natural disaster but in fact according to glenn greenwald the

u.s. directly enables israel's actions so he cites for example documents that say that over the past decade the n.s.a. has expanded the number of ways in which it works with the israeli intelligence agencies he also talks about large payment large sums of money that have been paid from the u.s. government over to israeli operatives now all this is on top of publicly available information that the u.s. government is continuing to supply israel with weapons such as i munition and grenade launchers amidst this very violent offensive now both the n.s.a. and g c h q have said that they won't comment on their existing relationships but everything they do is within the framework of the law now glenn greenwald says that legal or not these new documents highlight the role the u.s. role in israeli what he calls israeli aggression towards its neighbors he says that

the help of the u.s. and its key allies is very clear and it is squarely at odds with the image that the u.s. has cultivated of being a helpless by stand in this conflict of being completely detached in this conflict . geodes militants from the islamic state group have made a major advance in northern iraq they've seized another oil field three towns and the country's biggest down holding the most so dam allows the jihad is to manipulate electrical output to major iraqi cities or even flood them it's the latest blow to the embattled government in baghdad which has failed to contain these lawmaking insurgency formerly known as isis the self-proclaimed islamic state has expanded across northern parts of syria and iraq the jihad is now control five oil fields and are reportedly selling crude on the black market to fund their

day critics of the system say it's nothing more than a money making scheme while others claim it's a backdoor way to curb immigration explains. the country that once opened its doors to immigrants. is becoming better known as the land that jails that the congress for the past several years has set a mandatory requirement on the federal government to maintaining thirty four thousand detention beds for immigration detention purposes nazarene was stuck him served three hundred and thirteen days in an immigrant detention facility unable to post bail or receive a bond hearing. and see who was in how it affected the guys in there a lot of the guy just had expired visa or something they are not criminals not immigrated to the country legally at thirteen and his wife is a u.s.

citizen he was arrested at his home in two thousand and eleven in connection with a four year old guilty plea for drug possession we never had any encounters with immigration. before he and i was a green card was renewed every ten years and now i think the us is immigrant and customs enforcement agency has a budget of nearly two billion dollars a budget put it by american taxpayers in two thousand and twelve the agency detain nearly one hundred seventy eight thousand immigrants many of whom are housed in private corporate or detention centers top contracted by the u.s. government to make me sick because just bad quality to. me. tell me the poor high amount of money five hundred one hundred fifty eight hundred fifty dollars a night and locking up immigrants is hardly the only option available to the u.s.

government congress or at least many members who are pushing this agenda don't trust the president to enforce immigration laws and they think that. by requiring these people to be detained that it's going to urge the president actually effectuate their eventual removal from the country there are other methods such as alternatives to detention use of intensive supervision custody checks on the person telephonic monitoring but the cost effective options would necessarily benefit the corporations behind america's detention and deportation machine you realize early on when you start reading if you article that oh there's something called the you know group and the cia and they make billions of dollars off of those and then you start seeing how a line out paralleled with like the lack of medical adequate medical care in the food quality and why they don't even allow contact with it and it's cheaper for them to allow you to visit only through glass and use those kind of things are

making. a reality in which a better hold up puts a price tag on the lives of. thousands of immigrants greenup or not r.t. new york. now let's take a look at some of the stories from around the word starting with an earthquake which has hit southwest china has killed at least three hundred eighty one people and injured nearly two thousand others the six point one magnitude quake is not over buildings forcing people onto the streets for safety survivors describe seeing nothing but ruins and buildings reduced to rubble the quake is the strongest to have hit the non province in fourteen years. fourteen people have died when a ferry boat capsized in southern bangladesh the ship was two hundred fifty passengers on board went down on the padma river some forty kilometers from the capital dhaka forty four passengers have been rescued so far but the exact number

of casualties is unknown. heavy rain has lashed southern europe bringing areas in several countries to a standstill in northern italy at least four were killed and more than twenty injured when a flash flood tore through the festival two people drowned in bulgaria and more than nine hundred fled their homes when a river burst its banks and in turkey floods paralyzed is town both snarling traffic across the country's most populous city. and in a town to fight racism the swiss government plans to scrap all mentions of race from legislation are just bitter all over a looks into the latest attempts in scandinavia to promote tolerance. scandinavia has long being billed as something of a trailblazer when it comes to tolerance and multiculturalism in society the latest move in sweden could see all references to race or ethnicity removed from the country's legislation currently in sweden there are twenty laws that make reference

to race or ethnicity and these include laws covering the country's criminal code student financing a on things like credit information law now the integration minister in sweden says that he's putting this forward because there's no such thing as race in his society anymore however it has come in for criticism from the national road swedish association would try to take the. away from us and leave us with terms such as foreign born or national born and we think that there is a way of mystifying people keeping them from becoming a little and racially conscious we're not behind what we swedish government doing is uninformed and then will not meet with any result and it's not just in sweden that new laws on tolerance are coming into place here in denmark your legislation is set to make it easier for transgender people to officially register their change of gender without having previously had to undergo sexual

reassignment surgery now this is a move that's been highly praised by amnesty international who see it as a shining example to societies around the world but also what's going on here in scandinavia is a toy company is trying to set out the message of not gender stereotyping early on by issuing a catalogue in time for christmas it's going to show gender neutral toyah advertisements meaning little boys and little girls playing with things like toy ovens and toy workbenches not dependent on their gender in a message to try and spread the word to a quality and tolerance across the region. other nations are also changing the way they view sexual identity in a number of european countries people can change their gender in official documents without undergoing any surgery or treatment german parents of babies born with characteristics of both sexes no longer have to classify them as male or female

creating a third gender in the public registry and in france officials tried to introduce gender equality classes in primary schools but the initiative was scrapped after massive protests from parents. up next here in our international revealed a murky side of the global fish trade but if you're watching it he came here last the latest cross dog now the baby in back of us and in the middle east. a few weeks ago we discussed detroit's plans to shut off water to those who can't pay their bills logically what a basic human the system he could get taken away some protesters gathered to give their opinion on the issue at our plaza and what is the response from the state maybe some sort of dialogue or explanation as to why they have to turn off the water you know they turned up on the high tech quote non lethal weaponry against

the protesters they used an el red system which basically blasted the protesters with sound which sounds but intended humane until you look into it and read that the weapon can cause permanent hearing loss the company even admits this is true at less than fifteen meters we see all across the country so-called non-lethal weapons being used to very harmful and even to well we thought ns but why does this happen because they make breaking up protest easy unsafe for the cops remember in the old days when you had to physically break up protests well things like el read allow any coward to just flip a switch to disperse a crowd with not a drop of blood visible and the fact that it seems not harmful as the police to be justified in using it whenever they want for the sake of the constitution i think no police forces should be able to use this technology but that's just my opinion.

the u.s. military was built to square off against the soviet union. over western europe but when you take that conventional military and now try to read task it as a counterinsurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff. overall road in western norway. surrounded by glaciers and clips. a road is winding as the shores of the fiords. after hours of searching i finally reach my destination. floating on cold water fish farms. wherein lie one of the country's most hidden treasures farmed salmon.
