5:07 pm
what's going on here and i think it's interesting that these are children who in many cases are far too young to understand probably before impact of what went on here the brilliant more coverage of the real events over the next two days here also speaks to the only terrorist who survived the beslan atrocity you can hear what he had to say from behind prison bars in just under an hour and a half an hour to international all of this is all day long but you. need to know. the conditions to the. initiative. is the. need. to go out in the piece and there isn't much of the concern is the chest and the chimney it moved and it's in. mutual. nature that it will.

britain's prime minister is sharing his vision on how the u.k. should deal with the threat posed by the bloodthirsty islamic state groups operating in iraq and syria in a culture of a listen to his speech to appease. it appears that it's all about given great social forty's and the police more power as david cameron outlined his strategy and getting this law mixed state and he believes to prevent riots from going abroad to travel alongside extremists and to prevent those who already have some common back he would have to give more powers to police officers at the border to confiscate passports and in case the court decides to challenge him that he's considering create a new legislation to give the parliament the power to decide that over the court's next two months british authorities still have enhanced the use of exclusion zones or relocation powers this is also something that will be debated and in general david cameron is responding to increased years in the country over the widespread

reach that the islamic state has according to a recent poll by some sixty seven percent of brits support and five the u.k. government. confiscate passports of those who are suspected to be members of the islamic states and of course their fears are further exacerbated over the of course the slaughter of soldier and rigby in london the beheading of american journalist vice expected british jihad this and in fact five hundred of them have already unknowns who have traveled to iraq and syria around half of them are already back so the danger and the threat is real and the brits here feel it and the poll of course shows the results of that and of course the latest revelation the fact that one of the islamic states key financier's was in fact the director of a muslim faith school right here in the u.k. in the city of birmingham and the fears are shared by brits are also shared by other european citizens and the leaders of those countries as you can see now on
5:10 pm
your screen everyone is saying that the islamic state poses a direct threat to every single european country. because of a reporting coming too from political and social commentator mohammed he told me he thinks the u.k. should the see this threat coming a long time ago. firstly the fact that we have this return of control orders and he claims i think but before you can we get to that stage people are wondering how when somebody is returning from syria or from the middle east are we going to assess whether they've been involved in any kind of radicalization any kind of terrorism or have in fact been fighting as you how do you think the problem has been that our policy on counter radicalization counter extremism has sensibly failed i mean if failed to intercept the failed around seven seven it's continued to fail seeing people who are under surveillance going overseas to fight as they see it in an ideological than an intellectual or spiritual jihad overseas so we have the mill it have

cleaners from yesterday monday europeans won't be able to buy vacuums the burner more than sixteen hundred watts to clean their flaws and supposed to help reduce energy usage but of course the critics claim that's nonsense because people have to use less powerful models for longer to get the job done like picking up pet has if you've got pets you know what it's all about and it's not the only appliance of the year or crap that got their eyes on up to thirty other household budgets in the firing line in the coming year everything from kettles to head dry. it's so this new sparked a mixed feelings of panic buying on one hand and anger among the consumers on the other some rush to the shops to snap up those last remaining high powered or nine hundred one clean as you go to work on while others took aim at lawmakers needlessly poking around people's homes this. in one way they're paying atonement to the crazed and indeed flawed concept of global warming and another they're obviously worried about the fact that actually europe doesn't have enough energy to
5:24 pm
