visit. threat. in the middle east. europe. joined by. china seeks to protect itself from. the. region.

with. thank you for joining us today the u.k. has raised its threat level to. the danger posed by islamic state extremists and prime minister david cameron outlining 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. reporting on the challenge to britain's traditional values. how quickly it seems david cameron's world has turned just a year ago he was saying in this there will be no political progress unless the opposition is able to withstand the onslaught and put pressure on assad so he is no military victory so we will also increase our efforts to support and to shape the moderate opposition but now he's been forced to say this what we're facing in iraq now. is a greater and deeper threat to our security than we have known before fear is there

from that need growing drones hack 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 mates of more than five hundred british high 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 mosques muslim community in britain and the reality is that muslim community and the mosque in britain did not create a foreign policy which the two invasion of iraq and 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 of our reporting from london for r.t. and a new video has been circulating online showing a twenty one year old london boasting of joining what he dubs the golden. she had calling on other young britons to follow his lead and we spoke to brian becker the co-director of the international action center he's expressing serious concern that the rise of examining extremism across 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 now released a video of an ass strike on the islamic state of iraq and the footage showing a truck being destroyed while driving along the road near the northern city over a bill in total the u.s. has conducted well over at least now one hundred as strikes against jihadist

positions in iraq and washington is also calling on his international partners to help to combat the group. now that she has throw some light in cardiff next week as marina kozyrev who was discussing in her package some of the measures have made the welsh capital more like a high security prison 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 a two day event police forces from across the u.k. are being called in to maintain security the total cost of the security measures is yet unknown though some critics claim the downing street is about a foot a bill of up to fifty million dollars well some locals have taken to twitter to express their anger at the city being turned into a basically a high security zone in fact are others wondering why does there need to be for example an anti a set of anti duck walls as well let's have

a charge here with lindsay german from the stop the war coalition she thinks the fact that nato leaders have to hind behind fences well it says an awful lot about the policies. 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 force for peace but a forceful military action on the wall says a great deal about the unpopularity 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 of course a well if a call solicits a cure for the heads of state that lots nowhere. and

for almost five months now government forces have been operating in eastern ukraine and the pummeling of cities with heavy artillery goes on the latest attack on friday hit a square near a railway station and city have done yet scott a stronghold of anti-government fighters a bus and a car were completely burnt out but luckily no one was killed. elsewhere though soldiers have been encircled for a week near the city of yellow vice though they have now been allowed to escape through a humanitarian corridor or they were given until ten am local time to make their way out the deadline has now passed there are no updates on their whereabouts although the information about the deadline actually came from one of the army's commanders and at this point that hasn't been confirmed by the militias and fighters have been making advances in recent weeks propped up by a growing number of foreign mercenaries as artie's policy reports. it's for a war and everybody is war and serve every european is a war. and more and more overseas fighters are signing up for joining the anti kids

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 mountain 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 anti-government forces in urban guerrilla warfare. to the point there is here these are people's militias these are not mercenaries or professional soldiers so they need instruction 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

fighting and against whom they are fighting so that is our main strength you know the aid 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 bad cards or the bad guys cards so 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 it's a huge day goes by they lose money they've as motivation to lose manpower they. lose so each day that goes by they grow weaker we grow stronger you are now finds itself in between a rock and

a hard place what you do is move its young men sign up to fight against its ally. and on this is on foot at all 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 this and of course it's a mission of information it's a political mission it's a mission of soft power a mission that's growing stronger as a brigade of western volunteers is put together under the name of the united continent they're showing just how disunited europe is on the question of ukraine policy r.t. did it's eastern ukraine. moscow and brussels have agreed that ukraine is obliged to pay its outstanding gas bills the e.u. depends heavily on russian gas and ensuring the safety transit of supplies through ukraine is absolutely crucial and the fitch rating agency estimates that europe will remain reliant on russian gas for at least another ten years 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. energies such as shale gas are launched me on reliable and ukraine also gets its gas from russia but as outstanding debts of more than five billion dollars the state coffers are running empty and one of the country's largest power plants has now had its gas cut off after it used too much and people are now becoming encouraged to actually cut down their own energy usage as well as aussies any up a trunk or reports 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. you know the jewel in the evening we can leave the lights off in our houses we can just light candles it 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 video in there to be did you put it in that here but if you to play it but then with the video in there to get it is off set it. 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. to trend go r t.

and human rights watch is called on kiev to reveal the whereabouts of a russian photojournalist who went missing in ukraine over three weeks ago the watchdog's deputy director for europe and central asia said the rights of media workers are being infringed upon in ukraine both by militias on the army he also said or thought he frequently detained a russian journalist before the last contact with photo reporter standing was on the fifth of august kiev still denies having him. are still to come here on r.t. international china signals it will move to prevent america from spying on its naval fleets it's off to china intercepted an american submarine plane very close to one of its naval bases later in the program we'll look at how the tensions in that region continue to grow. also ahead the super bowl ice bucket challenge has raised tens of millions of dollars for charity but where was all that money going

to find out in just a few minutes. differently here in syria now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months has said. mr president which is diddy's telling him to go to. stability and peace to syria is going to be the sort of. drama to be ignored. stories others who refuse to notice. food says change the world.

so picture today. from a rose to the. i. know again china appears determined to shield itself from america's aerial surveillance as some naval officers are pushing for fighter pilots to intensify the interception of spy planes were spotted last week when a chinese fighter jet intercepted a u.s. navy poseidon submarine the american plane was flying close to china's naval bases all around the southern islands now american officials claim that the chinese jet performed a barrel roll at one point coming within ten meters of the plane what china did hit

. but also saying the recognizance missions pose a threat to its core security interests and could be acted as an act of excuse me could be interpreted rather as an act of hostility every year at the pentagon flies at least five hundred missions all around china as well as monitoring it from the sea satellites and radio and you keeping long a specialist on china he says beijing well it could well take serious action if it feels under threat. this fall and all that require a rivalry between america and china especially at santana see which to try no cause and this is short and critical. channel for this part of energy as well as trade but also as a conduit for tatas and they will force us into that with the pacific particularly a lot of the time of. the nuclear arms based entirely and i

include on submarines is part of. the metric was there because china is no match with america as far as carriers are and indeed and most of the. really truly hardware in terms of the heart of the island is a very very sensitive as a china so china is going to take a very. sound on this. any more stories for you right now online including one flew over texas people in huge no less baffled by a circle of lights photographed in the night sky scientists are stronger officials are unable to explain what that is but look at the close up footage of r.t. dot com right now. also there are all of the sea lifeguards struggled to rescue dozens of adrenaline junkies the surfers who flooded california speeches to ride the big way from hurricane marie that struck the story you know some very pretty

really good stuff at r.t. dot com. and on the program the super viral ice bucket challenge has certainly improved a fund raising spectacular people pouring freezing water over their head well it's actually brought in around eighteen million dollars for the a.l.'s charity but where is the donated money actually going. into the air less associations are in pipe chart it only direct twenty eight percent of all the raised to money. actual research into finding cures though another fourteen percent here goes towards fund raising itself and then seven percent right there goes on the administration that includes a six figure salaries for the top team with a nonprofit organization research believes the money is unlikely to trickle down to the people who is actually meant for. there's a lot of conflict of interest with the first and foremost is the concept that there is no cure when in fact we know there is if you look at who populate the board

you'll find. a lot of the corporations like pfizer that actually produce medications and products that contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as. although we'd like to believe the intentions are good the reality is the 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 less in this country in fact the president and c.e.o. of the association makes fifty percent more than the vice president of united states there's so much money behind the cause marketing model we literally have billions of dollars being raised by activating the consumer's charitable instincts go not to the causes of the problem but actually contribute often to them are to some of the headlines around the world in brief get into the it will start with afghanistan where six people have been killed in a suicide bomber in. the bomber blew himself up in

a truck outside headquarters in jalalabad the blast was followed by. the. us is according to officials forty five people were wounded there are other fatalities the taliban claimed responsibility. and protests broke out in bahrain over the beating of prisoners one political prisoner also went on hunger strike allegations of. detentions demonstrators tossed molotov cocktails and set tires aflame in the streets there demanding the royal family give up power and release all political prisoners the unrest in bahrain is being going on for years now with frequent clashes. and two miners is killed at least. for a gold mine collapse near catholic the. well of nicaragua the shop they were working in was cut off by a landslide and the rescue teams have been brought in wooden ladders now to get the

miners out they say the work will continue through the night and morning out. in iceland raised the aviation warning code to read after a small eruption the volcano follows two weeks of earthquakes in the region yes space has been closed to up to fifteen hundred meters and they could be further disruption if clouds form by making it dangerous for planes to fly over various parts of europe. now a summit on the american dream is currently being held in dallas and there's plenty to discuss certainly after a new poll found that six out of every ten citizens believe the dream is now out of reach. reports. 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 better we and better wages and deafening medical my american dream is. to progress to make morning. good hope. i for my kids to have to have a better life than me 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. itself it's been tough for a little live serve in bouncing around jobs we have a union boys do we struggle because when you go on the table it was paid for them for the companies to give you more money 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 and increasing lack of security or stability in the us workforce has even been acknowledged by america's leader but average wages have barely budged inequality has deepened 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 it's 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 marina port r.t. . and a sense around a pole a likely future republican presidential candidate he addressed the american dream gathering is that the search for happiness is tempered by the government snooping on people that ultimately 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 ah 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 care think about should be seville 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 do 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 america. thanks for sharing some of your saturday with us here not the international research show here at moscow a boom bust taking up all the world's economic headlines that will be next on our international network unless you're joining us from the u.k. you're about to go into orbit with george galloway on his trusty spotting.

if you look at my generation of americans and even more so with the millennium there are a lot of people with all sorts of piercings and tattoos everyone wants to express themselves by getting the exact same cliche tattoos and piercings as everyone else but can we discriminate against these people because of their and out appearance normally people are against discrimination because of punishes people for the way they were. born there raise search gender but no one was born with big metal loops stretching out their ear lobes so essentially yes you can judge someone by their tattoos and piercings because they got these done consciously as an adult i mean we all know that you need to dress up on a first date or job interview to make a good impression and well having the words thug life written up your forearm are not very convincing to me that you are going to make

a valuable employee or girlfriend one of the worst things that we tell children is that you should never judge a book by its cover the problem is that no one has the time to open up all these books and investigate so obviously ninety percent of the time we're going to be judging each other by the cover of our book and if that cover is full of dead fetus tattoos like one guy i know that you should expect a lot of bigoted reactions over the course of your life but that's just my opinion . hello there i marinate it this is boom bust and these are some of the stories that

we're tracking for you today. first up the f.c.c. is looking into mutual funds that look like hedge funds and call themselves off funds so what so what are these funds going to look into it ourselves coming up right out and then the latest addition to the boom bust team and beyond the fish she is on the show today she's bringing us her report from the black hat cyber security conference and in today's big deal redacted tonight has we can't seem to run with me to talk about the privatization of prisons and all starts right now.
