the. threat posed to the country. to join the extremists in the middle east. we report on the european. decided to join the cause. and to protect itself from us aerial surveillance to intercept.

thanks for joining us. the u.k. has raised its threat level to. over the danger posed by islamic state extremists prime minister david cameron outlined new measures to combat the growing tide of people wanting to head to the middle east to fight what they see as a holy war. a challenge to britain's traditional values. how quickly it seems david cameron's world has turned just a year ago he was saying this there will be no political progress unless the opposition is able to withstand the onslaught and put pressure on assad so he knows there is no military victory so we will also increase our efforts to support and to shape the moderate opposition my but now he's been forced to say this what we're facing in iraq now. is a preacher and deeper threat to our security than we have known before here is

there from the growing drone attack has today raised the threat level for the u.k. from international terrorism from substantial to severe. that means that a terrorist attack is highly likely. but there is no intelligence to suggest that an attack is imminent but what's causing huge concern is the fact that sas the mated more than five hundred british hard this have traveled to iraq and syria with around half of them now back in the u.k. and some are suspected of planning attacks on home soil but community leaders warn their whole sector of society has been singled out as a scapegoat sibling is being put on. muslim community in britain and the reality is that listen community and mosque in britain you know you do foreign policy which to you you know iraq. and what is happening in syria extreme ideology appears to be

gaining momentum around the world force in countries like britain to reassess security measures but there are growing voices that argue the u.k. government should be reassessing the very foreign policies that created the threats in the first place arenacross survive reports in from london for r.t. and a new video has been circulating online showing a twenty one year old londoner boasting of joining what he dubs the golden era of jihad and calling on other young britons to follow his lead brian becker the co-director of the international action center here expresses serious concern of the rise of islamic extremism in the u k. the u.k. joined with the united states in carrying out a war against muslim countries in the middle east as it's perceived in them in the middle east and amongst muslims in the u.k. is that the u.k. government is part of a war against islam and this facilitates and plays into the hands of those who are

who are promoting political islamics especially extremist elements who show yes this is a war against islam and yes we can build in recruiting organize on this basis but fundamentally it is the policy of the u.k. government in hand with the united states government that has created the conditions for this development i think behind the terror threat level is the real politics of what's going on the terror threat level is not really about perceived terror it's about preparing public opinion in the u.k. and in the united states for an escalating intervention by the united states in the u.k. in the middle east and they always have to do it on the pretext of protecting the domestic population against the threat of terrorism and the us military has released a video of an asteroid called the islamic state in iraq or the footage showing a truck being destroyed while driving along the road near the northern city of irbil in total the u.s. has conducted more than one hundred s. strikes again geodes positions in iraq washington has called on his international

partners to combine efforts to combat the group. and the jihadist threat is casting a shadow over security plans for the nato meeting in cardiff next week as aussies monaco server was talking about some of the measures have made the welsh capital look more like a high security prison in the three metre high sixteen kilometer long fence has already been dubbed the ring of steel it's meant to protect one hundred fifty world leaders along with thousands of staff and journalists during the two day event a police forces from across the u.k. have been called in to maintain security of a total cost of the security measures not yet known but some critics claim downing street is about to foot the bill of up to fifty million pounds well some locals have taken to twitter to express their anger at the city being turned into what many are calling just a seriously high security zone and with others wondering why there was a need to actually erect these. walls we spoke to lindsey german from the stop the

war coalition she thinks the fact that nato leaders have to hide behind these fences says an awful lot about their policy. that closing lots of schools that children might 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 an outcry but this is supposed to be acceptable many local people as well are absolutely fed up with the money that is being spent on this summit when they're faced with austerity we think nato is not a full peace with a forceful military action on wall says a great deal about the popularity of their cause that they feel they have to meet behind still. highly fortified. places after one of the places they fenced off is called it also well if we call solicits cure for for the heads of state that i'd like to know where is. for almost five months now

government forces have been operating in eastern ukraine and the pummeling of cities with heavy artillery carries on the latest attack on friday hit a square near a way station in the city of donetsk a stronghold of anti-government fighters a bus and a car were completely beyond help but luckily there was no one inside elsewhere though soldiers have been encircled for a week near the city of yellow vice and they'll now be able to escape through a humanitarian corridor or they've been given until ten am local time to make their way out that means right now they have just a little less than two hours to do so although the information comes from one of the army's come on there's to this point hasn't been confirmed by militias or antique fighters have been making advances in recent weeks propped up by a growing number of foreign mercenaries paullus live reports. or words everybody is war every european's war. and more and more overseas fighters are signing up for joining the antics of troops in eastern ukraine the wall is slowly

advancing into jeannette's city center this used to be a hardware store but like a growing number of soft targets around the city it has been reduced to rubble a growing number of europeans are saying enough is enough and are backing their words up with action twenty five year old niccolo was a professional soldier with the elite french mounting troops for five years now he's pushing his skills to good use in ukraine alongside a contingent of other foreign volunteers he's training and government forces in urban guerrilla warfare over the pa military. these are people's militias these are not mercenaries or professional soldiers so they need instruction and they really have the motivation whereas the kiev army which is a kind of puppet of nato they don't have any motivation whatsoever we have seen them before they are very unmotivated and they do not really know why they are friday and against whom they are already so that is our main strength cloverfield

is also a symbolic. for many of these people from the west it's the first time to come defend what is considered by western governments. or bad guys because it's very important to show the people from the west are distinct from their governments and they are ready to come and fight and risk their lives to defend another world it's not just france volunteers from c.b.s. spain germany poland israel and the united kingdom are indeed manske on the frontline. we believe that ukrainian army will not be able to sustain. or even fall because if each day goes by they lose money do lose motivation they lose manpower. lose so each day that goes by they grow weaker we grow stronger. now finds itself in between a rock and a hard place what to do is move its young men sign up to fight against its ally.

and put it legally we don't see what the french government can do to us because first of all we're not paid so we're not mercenaries we're not terrorists we're not jihad and of course it's a mission of information it's a political mission it's a mission of soft power to a mission that's growing stronger as a brigade of western volunteers is put together under the name of the united continent and showing just how disunited it is on the question of ukraine policy r.t. dates to. moscow and brussels have agreed that ukraine is obliged to pay its outstanding gas bills and the e.u. depends heavily on russian gas and ensuring the save transit of supplies through ukraine is key and the face rating agency estimates that your main reliant on russian gas for at least another decade that's because other suppliers won't be able to meet the e.u.'s demands it's currently too expensive to overhaul the

current infrastructure and other sources of energy such as shale gas are largely unreliable ukraine also gets its gas from russia but has an outstanding debt of more than five billion dollars and with the state coffers nearly empty people are being encouraged to cut back on their energy usage is artie's really up a trunk. it looks like ukraine's capital is in for another sunny week although throughout the hot summer a key of was not line up for air conditioners but rather elektra's boilers as the government saving gas for the winter people have been left with cold showers in the summer the country is preparing for december way in advance like in this school where kids will now have classes on saturdays to avoid the deep freezes of christmas with two months of holiday. but some think the public's efforts shouldn't end there wasn't just the future how much do you know the jewel in the evening we

can leave the lights off in our houses we can just light candles he will create a romantic vibe and lift your mood i think such light is much better than those bright lamps energy efficiency campaigns are running wild begin the. you know what is in that here but if you to play in but then move to buddhism because of said. here's a set of stickers being promoted on line so leave your bedroom lights off and you're a patriot but plug in a computer or a laptop and your this. failure to train co r t. in human rights watch has called on kiev to reveal the whereabouts of a russian photo journalist who went missing in ukraine over three weeks ago the watch dogs deputy director for europe and central asia has said the rights of media workers are being infringed upon in ukraine both by militias and the army she also

said author already has had frequently detained russian journalists before i lost contact with a photo reporter under a stone it was the fifth of august kiev still denying it has him. legal. still to come here or not to international china's signals it will move to prevent america spying on its naval fleet it's off to china intercept an american anti submarine claim very close to one of its chief naval bases later in the program we'll look at how the tensions have been growing. also ahead the super viral ice bucket challenge has raised tens of millions of dollars for charity but where's the money going to find out in just a few. little

. differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties who have gone to syria in recent months has said they believe he's a reformer of victory and mr president the senate which is diddy's time for him to go. to stability and peace to syria is going to be sought to step down. please. we think of the way we think of. beaches. coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. and frank. why he has a deep dark little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you to know. through all the way.

through well i did dearly subsidy to get all we owe zero to near . dramas that can be ignored. stories others in the. places change. picture. from a. saturday morning here in moscow thanks for joining us china appears determined to shield

itself from america's aerial surveillance some naval officers of pushing for fighter pilots to intensify the interception of spy planes in fact it was spotted last week when a chinese fighter jet intercepted a u.s. navy poseidon submarine aircraft and the american plane was flying very close to china's naval bases around its southern islands now american officials claim the chinese jet performed a barrel roll that one point coming within ten meters of the plane china hit back saying it was keeping a safe distance and said the recognizance missions pose a threat to its core security interests and could be treated as an act of hostility every year the u.s. flies around five hundred missions around china as well as monitoring from the sea satellites and using radio as well. specialist on china he says beijing could well take serious action if it feels under threat. i think at this point all that require i reach in america and china especially china sea which to try no

cause is a and this is sure and critical. channel for us a part of our energy as well as trade but also as a conduit for charges and they will force us into that with the pacific particularly a lot of the time of. the nuclear arms. race in thailand on ukraine on submarines is part of. the metric was there because john is no match with america as far as areas of concern and indeed a lot of the edge. literally hardware in terms of the heart of mali is a very very sensitive as china so china is going to take. a stand on this we have plenty more stories for you online right now including one flew over texas

people in houston left a bit mystified a circle of lights appearing in the night sky astronomers also unable to identify what on earth that is. more of our. also where all of the sea life guards struggle to rescue dozens of adrenalin junkie surfers who flooded california's beaches to ride the big waves caused by hurricane irene some pretty killer video actually right now it off the top. but for now on the program they are super viral ice bucket challenge is proving to be a fund raising spectacular people pouring freezing water over their heads it's brought in about a being a million bucks for the air less charity but research suggests the money is very unlikely to directly help the people it was meant for in the first place. we know that the statistics they publish indicate only twenty seven percent of the donated monies will go to actual research a good portion of it will actually be wasted so to speak because fourteen percent

will go to fund raising itself and the administrative costs are rather high in fact the president and c.e.o. of the association makes fifty percent more than the vice president of united states although we'd like to believe the intentions are good the reality is that money is being funneled to wards a lot of pharmaceutical development which is unlikely it will trickle down and affect the suffering of those who have a list in this country i think is quite common because there's so much money behind the cause marketing model we literally have billions of dollars being raised by activating consumers charitable instincts that go not to the causes of the problem but actually contribute often to them and some of the headlines in brief now starting with the protests broke out in this over the beating of prisoners one political person are also went on hunger strike over allegations of arrests and detentions demonstrators tossed molotov cocktails and tires aflame in the streets

there demanding that the royal family give up power and release all political prisoners to rest in bahrain has been going on for years now with frequent clashes with security. to mine is being killed and at least thirteen are still trapped after a gold mine collapse near the capital of nicaragua the shot they were working in was cut off by a landslide rescue teams have brought in wooden ladders to get the miners out they say the work will continue through the night hours. and to iceland way off shore he's raised the aviation warning code to read for a small eruption of bunga volcano it follows two weeks of earthquakes in the region yes space has been closed up to fifteen hundred meters and it could be further disruption if clouds form at all make it dangerous for planes to fly over parts of europe. our summit on the american dream is being held and dallas and there's plenty to discuss after

a poll found that six out of every ten citizens believe the dream is now out of reach. looking at how us optimism has turned to pessimism. in the lone star state of america hundreds of so-called free market champions gather for a summit aimed at defending the american dream the the american dream is considered the national ethos of the u.s. the idea that everyone has the opportunity to achieve success through hard work regardless of social class a good paying job financial security a better job. a better future that we can better wages and deafening medical my american dream is. to progress to make more any. hope. for my kids. to have a better life in the aftermath of

a financial crisis housing bust and great recession the american dream has morphed into a fantasy for most an analysis by usa today shows that living the dream would cost the average family of four one hundred thirty thousand dollars a year only one in eight less than thirteen percent earned that much in two thousand and thirteen are you living the american dream no i'm not living the american dream. paid service been tough for a little while serving bouncing around jobs we have a unique voice do we struggle when you go on the table he was paid for them. they don't want to give you the money will be why are they making the money but they don't want to pay the workers recent polls show sixty percent of americans feel the dream however defined is impossible to reach even more americans believe their kids will be worse off than their parents the good jobs that provided the american dream or made the american dream

a reality for many americans have just disappeared been outsourced and what has replaced it are low pay low skill jobs with no job security no benefits no pension so people are spending all their time working these crazy hours and the hours required to survive are getting crazier a new gallup poll finds that economically stressed americans are working an average of forty seven hours per week with a growing number clocking sixty or more an increasing lack of security or stability in the u.s. workforce has even been acknowledged by america's leader but average wages have barely budged inequality is deep and upward mobility has stalled the cold hard fact is that even in the midst of recovery too many americans are working more than ever just to get by let alone to get ahead. and too many

still aren't working at all but many critics say the government is to blame for leaving the american dream in tatters because the the we live in a what is not a free market economy we live in a fascist economy we live in a corporate state where you have huge government huge corporations connected to the government big banks especially but the cream of the crop they're living the dream according to reports corporate profits are at their highest level in at least eighty five years however employee compensation while it's at the lowest level in sixty five years for most citizens the american dream needs to be rebuilt because simply defending the status quo may mean working for survival instead of security arena port r.t. and so on and so run the poll the likely future republican presidential candidate he addressed the american dream gathering he said the search for happiness is hampered by the u.s. government snooping on them and invading their privacy. frankly when you're looking

at yourself listening to download from the. internet it's none of the government's damn business what you do i and last you are secure in your house unless you're secure in your papers you can't have your freedom and the government says oh it's only boring old business records to pair us think about your visa bill though they say it's not protected by the fourth amendment they said they can look at everyone's visa records everyone's data if i look at your visa record i can tell do you drink do you smoke what medicines you today what doctors do you go to this is all very private information and i have no problem if the government thinks you're a terrorist and they call a judge and they get probable cause they can look at all of that but i don't want to looking at the records of three hundred million innocent americans.

and it's not just everyday people the governments of spying on i coming up and breaking the set. looking at how and why nations are spying on each other as well. well it's clear that no one is immune from spying these days whether you're joe the plumber or resident of the bahamas or if you're on your way to becoming president of the united states in fact the spine is getting so i handed out government institutions are actually spine on each other just to stave off bad press so while the senate was busy drafting a report on the cia's involvement in torture and rendition under the bush administration cia officials were busy spying on those investigating them. thanks for joining us here on r.t. international this morning coming up here on the network next to where the latest in the world of innovation technology update unless you're joining us from the u.k. good morning you're about to go into orbit with george galloway and his trusty

sputnik. i know a famous politician is tweeting that afore government is using excessive force against protesting citizens does this mean we're going to see yet another intervention to democratise their government into the dirt like in iraq or libya wait wait nothing is going to happen because that politician is russian but why is this so why can the police beat up or terrorize protesters in some countries but in others if you lift one finger you are going to get a needle lesson in human rights well the answer is simple this tweet any attempts to intervene from do a member of what happened because unlike what they tell you in school might does it

make right for you young that's out there all group of kirby remembers the cold war and back when there were two great powers they had to at least behave well to woo people into believing that. one side were the good guys now that's all gone the problem is they mano polar world that we live in heck if the us still had to deal with soviet or some other propaganda we would never see as much footage of flagrant police misconduct that we do now absolute power corrupts absolutely and the geo political monopoly that we all live in really isn't good for the average person in or outside of america especially if they want to protest but that's just my opinion .

hello and welcome to technology update coming up on today's show. a facelift. science flourishes in tomes. and we have some phone around the office. with a link to bill's creeping up in fossil fuel burning else people are increasingly looking to the sun for the answer to the world's energy problems while the soul of evolution might still be a way off so let's take any leaps and bounds and what better way to show off what you can do the new race in the center of moscow. second the way. the solar adjusts and.
