3:12 pm
a complete oxymoron and it's no time that we try to quote pretty and trying to bolster one of the only governments in the region and its army and its people who resisted this ideology over the last two years rather than trying to undermine it. another reason for the british prime minister be worried is the upcoming nato summit that could be a target for your harvests u.k. those going to great lengths to keep the heads of states will be attending safe including building a vast wall around them more on that later this hour. but first thousands of people from iraq the minority who were lucky to escape islamic state militants are reportedly still trapped on mount sun john near the syrian border and that's despite assurances from washington the humanitarian crisis in the area has been resolved after its warplanes bombed the hardest is it is a bit ruthlessly targeted by radicals and massacred our abraham is a year's z.d.

a crushing economy the regime in kiev do seem to it may be looking to end the civil war but that train may have already left the station. almost three meters high at sixteen kilometers long no i'm not talking about the high security prison but in fact fencing that was erected ahead of nato summit next week in the welsh capital cardiff the so-called ring of steel is meant to protect one hundred fifty world leaders along with thousands of staff and journalists
3:16 pm
during a two day event not this fears grow that islamic state terrorists could be planning attacks to disrupt the summit and police forces from across the u.k. of being called in to maintain security the total cost of the security measures. is yet known but some critics claim that downing street is about to foot the bill of up to fifty million pounds. and residents aren't too happy with the security measures some locals took to twitter to express their anger comparing the city to a mass prison in the german from the stop the war coalition thinks that the fact that nato leaders feel the need to hide behind fences says a lot about the policies they're closing lots of schools that children won't be able to attend because of the summit and of course if there's a teachers' strike or something and the teachers close the schools as there's outcry but this is supposed to be acceptable many local people as well are absolutely fed up with the money that's being spent on this summit when they're
3:17 pm
faced with austerity we think nato is not a force for peace with a force for military action on wall says a great deal about the unpopularity of their cause that they feel they have to meet behind still barriers and highly fortified. places after one of the places they fenced off is cardiff castle well if a call solicits a cure for for the heads of state that i'd like to know where it is and it's not just the governments who are tracking your every move it seems that sportswear giants also have the potential to keep tabs on consumers for example this bestselling added us jersey of the german national football team two million have been sold already was a thanks to the side success of the world cup but some fans are getting more than they actually bargained for let's just take a closer look at the on wanted bug that some customers are a knowingly carrying around with them. this device is a radio frequency identification chip is used to transfer data all two months of
3:18 pm
glee through electromagnetic fields they usually use for logistics consumer products are also now being quick with the chips a barely noticeable and other denies that they can actually track individuals but consumer privacy expert says the potential uses a worrying unfortunately the consortium of major corporations around the world and even governments are very interested in tracking people and it's all about profit they figure if they can know everything about somebody where they go their habits who they know then they can make money off of that when these tags go home with consumers on the things they wearing carry these consumers can be tracked these these are if i do tags have unique identification numbers and the plan is for every item on the planet at one at some point to have one of these numbers in it and if you think about it well it's just a number there are lots of things that are just numbers for example social security
3:19 pm
numbers are just numbers bank account numbers are just numbers but we have the sense not to put them on our t. shirts and walk around with those because people could have use that information about us and so it's a very invasive technology and let me say this is just. the beginning. libya's interim government has resigned after islamists tighten their grip on the country pushing it towards its worst crisis since the overthrow of the gadhafi regime in twenty eleven this comes days after militants declared a breakaway regime to rival the elected parliament and libya is split between two rival camps one is run by islam aspirants rebel factions now in control of the capital tripoli the other is libya's nationalist government that has fled to the country's east away from the armed gangs so on the one side it's alleged that the islamist militias are receiving support from turkey in kandahar and on the other the official regime is apparently backed by egypt and the arab emirates who both
3:20 pm
reportedly carried out air strikes against militia positions last week political writer and journalist dan glazebrook told us the conflict in the country has turned into a proxy war libya's been turned from being before twenty eleven a linchpin of reason or stability to a safe haven actually for sectarian death squads and militias of all kinds from around the region britain and the us both a huge deal as to the qatari regime and qatar is the one who is arming the militias that are causing such chaos in libya and then if there was to start arming forces allied to. the arming both sides affectively one directly the other in directly which would so the seeds for permanent kind of civil war situation which by the way would probably suit the interests of the british and us ruling elites very well because their fundamental goal consistently over the past three years has been to try to prevent the re-emergence of libya as an independent regional power.
3:21 pm
this is another power struggle in libya has unfolded this year in may after a u.s. citizen and rogue general from the gadhafi era launched a counter offensive against the islamists in june there was an election but straight after a number of officials defected to the is the misinformed a parallel government last month an islamic emirate was declared in being guardian of tripoli airport was seized when the extremists finally took control of the airport this month the central government asked for foreign help the u.n. security council france said that libya will slide into further chaos without international support. time now to around and more news from around the globe starting with syria where the number of refugees is now topped three million that's according to the united nations refugee agency another six and a half million were displaced within the country's borders more than one hundred

3:23 pm

3:24 pm
differently and the growth is still going to continue over the next few months in years to come and then when you look at it to over two million vehicles are being sold in russia right now which is still one of the top automotive markets in the world now there is still about like being imposed upon the colony just three pacific plate now this one affects foreign policy companies that produce that big hey we've got some eighty percent of them some talk about so yourself for this town but it would affect the importing of components not something that the modified to split up the sickly enthused about there will be some policy or they all to industrial from russia garment they already start to the cheap or something europe brands from europe to russia and. there will be something to you in the market i think the seeds have to space and we can launch our new port aabs that's what
