in iraq now. is a greater and deeper threat to our security than we have known before the year is definitely growing james haq 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 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 has been put on most muslim community in britain and the reality is that muslim community and the mosque in britain did not create

a foreign policy which to invasion of 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 right in the first place arenacross of our reporting from london forty. a new video has been circulating online showing a twenty one year old london bragging of joining what he dubs the golden era of jihad calling on other young britons to follow his lead brownback coordinator of the international action center expressed concern at 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 it 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. 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 the us military has released a video of an airstrike on their slum extinct in iraq the footage shows a truck being the straw and while driving along the road near the northern city of

a costless and secure for for the heads of state there are lots nowhere. ukrainian soldiers who have been encircled by anti government militias in eastern ukraine for week have been allowed to leave through a humanitarian corridor let's go live now to our correspondents in the region paula see as she joins us now point out there was word that they didn't want to take the humanitarian corridor that was offered by president putin now they seem to have what's the latest that you have for us. well according to ukraine's interior minister the first group of trapped ukrainian soldiers has made their way out of the encirclement and joined other units earlier the russian president vladimir putin urged the antigovernment fight has to allow the soldiers who are trapped in the battleground to make their way out he pointed out that they were not there because of their own initiatives that were merely following orders the anti-government fighters agreed on one condition that these ukrainian soldiers

first lay down their heavy weapons now on friday russian president putin did say that the military chiefs in kids had turned down this offer and had instead ordered the troops to fight their way out and president putin called this a tragic mistake later however the ukrainian president petro poroshenko and the anti-government fighters reached agreement and from the reports we are now receiving the soldiers are making their way out this comes as downtown donates continues to be shelled there was a railway station that was hit it was a building a car and a bus that were completely burnt there have fortunately however be no reports of civilian deaths at the same time the anti government fighters continue to make advances they are being propped up by foreign volunteers and we met with one such group. thanks for a word so everybody is war as ever every european in the war. and more and more

overseas find has all signing up for joining the entity of troops in eastern ukraine the war 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 along. side a contingent of other foreign volunteers he's training and government forces in urban guerrilla warfare local. 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 and they do not really know why they are fighting and against whom there is fighting so that is our

main strength of the aid is also somebody like. for many of these people from the west and it's the first time to come defend what is considered by western governments bad cards or bad guys cause 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 fans volunteers from c.b.s. spain germany poland israel and the united kingdom our internet scum the front line . we believe that ukrainian army will not be able to sustain. a word or even fall because it's just a day goes by they lose money they lose motivation they lose manpower they lose. they lose so each day that goes by they grow weaker we grow stronger stronger you up 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.

but that 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 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 on. he didn't it's to. moscow in brussels have agreed that he grain is obliged to pay its outstanding gas bills the e.u. depends heavily on russian gas and ensuring the same transit of supplies for ukraine is key and fitch ratings agency estimates europe will remain reliant on russian gas for at least another decade that's because other suppliers won't be able to meet the 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 has 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 is too much people are now being encouraged to cut down their energy usage as a well. but then go report on this. it looks like ukraine's capital is in for another sunny week although throughout the hot summer of was not lined up for air conditioners but rather elektra's boilers as the government saving gas for the winter which people have been left with cold showers in the summer the country is preparing for december way in advance like in this school work kids will now have classes on saturdays to avoid the deep freezes of
