believe the new socks for the tell you that will be gossip the. most important is that they. are telling me you are not cool enough to buy their product please. these are the hawks that we along with our. watch. when you're wrong on the political earthquake that was a bridge that instability and uncertainty loom larger than ever as i think you case future. presidents of most of the and only to the global i don't want to. assure you that actually a member of the day. has not yet and as. a civilian suffering intensifies amid the campaign to oust islamic state from the syrian city of raka downslope raised over america's post liberation front. the german

government wins the right to read encrypted what's not messages on suspects phones after parliament approved new snooping powers. this dry river bed is actually in for much being warned of drug addicts this is where they come to feed their addiction party looks at how afghanistan's opium production is destroying lives both at home and on the other side of the world. hello and good morning to you from the russian capital i'm nickey aaron and you're watching r.t. international good to have you with us well it's been exactly one year since the u.k. voted to leave the european union though the actual divorce talks have only just got underway the referendum result created

a political earthquake is aftershocks are still being felt today. we want our borders but we want our country by. negotiation will need to begin under a new prime minister. pass on my thanks to his mom for the result i suppose. that is the full woman yes rex it means the global british and he's got a plan. doesn't have a clue how to really lead a. community left behind. thanks. prime minister to reason may gambled and lost her parliamentary majority over the

break said issue but boyko takes us through the twists and turns now of britain's rocky road to break up. it was a very it changed the course of history the forty eight percent who voted to stay were outraged although the others they were delighted the sum has risen. to become a national bank holiday we will call it a. night of firearms may have been jumping the gun his so-called independence day is still a distant prospect the referendum result killed the political career of david cameron and allowed home secretary to resume aid to step up to the plate in the run up to the vote she had been a quiet remain but the desire to lead post brags that britain forced her

to reconsider her position. bricks it means bricks it bricks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it a year down the line that sounds like something from an alternate universe considering that to reason made called an election in order to strengthen her hand in the braggs it talks but ended up free falling in the polls and losing her parliamentary majority her atrocious result meant that politically her weakened government limped into negotiations with brussels earlier this week and bear in mind these talks were never going to be a walk in the park charm created. what. can be concluded quickly. threats against a question that's been issued by european politicians commission was trying to bully the british people arguments over whether the u.k.

would pave the e.u.'s one hundred billion gregg's it bill guaranteeing the rights the e.u. citizens. as in the u.k. and who would get custody of gibraltar what thorny issues but there is aroused took a back seat when britain was hit by a wave of terror for terror attacks in the space of just three months to be precise and many britons held to resume a direct plea responsible because she'd been head of the home office for six years before becoming prime minister and with all the security and political chaos few people even notice that earlier this week brings it negotiations officially kicked off but not in the way that london would have hoped the british government already been accused of caving into brussels over the brags that schedule and

opinion polls now show that if the country got to vote again it would reject leaving the u. so just like two reason may the plan for braggs it went from strong and stable so weak and wobbly within the space of just one year while british politicians the bickering over bricks that some of the e.u. counterparts on giving up hope that the divorce to really ever happen. some of my british friends have asked me. directions could be reversed you may say. dream but still great cities know to walk into a park i want to go file a trick shots from every angle if your government decides to organize a brick city i will be pretty tough on this and that city it will never be the same it will never be outside the union better than inside some in britain still have

that illusion which is a waste of time when first setting out her vision theresa may look to intent on a hard break through it but that approach was thrown into doubt when the general election failed to deliver a clear mandate. will move a motion in the house of commons calling for a general election to be held on the eighth of june to resume a wanted to strengthen her and embrace negotiations with european leaders she needed a mandate for her standing in the u.k. is divorced from the e.u. breaks it corrects it for two reasons i breaks it means giving up access to the e.u. single market and customs union taking full control of u.k. borders and new compromise on the free movement of people but instead of a mandate to reason may go to hung parliament white criticism of her breaks that position no deal for it is better than a deal no deal could be a very very bad out for now britain needs to work out

a new breakthrough plan which is not easy but the divided parliament the democratic unionist party which may hope to form a majority with opposes heartbreaks it well the u.k. position leaves more questions than answers some fear the negotiations which have already started will bring little progress so we wait for second breaks that referendum not likely even labor are resigned to this break up later. result we were afraid it will be both of you leaving the conditions of the divorce agreements are now even newer and so i think you should go to the let's see pics. of the us led coalition leading the anti isolette fence over the syrian city of raka is quote bombing everyone that's what locals have told r.t. is rep the video agency despite the coalition's insistence that it takes every

civilian casualties seriously the grim situation on the ground suggests otherwise but i knew that i thought i knew the fish for what they are just the guts of much of the end almost a bit of model to. assure you that actually made little metal a dash dash well it's not as nesmith has met but you have on your little niche that actually your little bit isn't a bit of an update of what else has been and the dome that has you had modeled and then has you had modeled and had little or. nothing or one in has it one in those moods where i want. to. use little blue. digit dim she. much. the u.s. led coalition doesn't deny using phosphorus which we just heard mentioned in its operations it's an extremely toxic substance and is banned from being used as

a weapon the coalition says it only years is phosphorus in permitted ways during battle for example to create a smoke screen however human rights watch has voiced concerns saying the substance poses a high risk to civilians. the leading force fighting islamic state on the ground is the kurds who are being armed by the americans however washington support to the kurdish fighters irritates its long term ally turkey more ping reports on how the us has tried to get round this problem. turkey was furious when it found out that the united states their longtime ally in nato partner was going into rock without them. we do not need terrorist organizations like the p y d n y p g in the rock operation let us work together to wipe out. america the coalition and turkey can

join hands and turn rocket into a graveyard for day. as the united states is aligned with two bitter enemies in syria the turkish government and the kurdish fighters it's got a tricky bit of maneuvering to do secretary of defense mattis says that the united states will eventually take back the weapons it's now supplying to the kurds after the defeat of isis and this is turning into no small matter at this point the united states is shipping in heavy machine guns mortars other small arms and even some armored vehicles it's totaling over one hundred million dollars worth of war toys a large portion of which are going to the kurds when it's all finished some five hundred u.s. military personnel will have the task of collecting it all in an area that's almost the size of pennsylvania maybe they'll knock on doors and say hey you know those weapons we let you yeah you're finished with them right and who knows what answer they might get the united states has promised to monitor the area and send out

a monthly report that will include photographs this sounds like a great idea as the usa has already lost track of billions of dollars worth of weapons they sent to iraq and some of those weapons have ended up in the hands of terrorists there i think mattis made chromos in his letter which presumably was going but. knowing very well that it probably would not be believed and very well would not be carried oh but you made it trying to implicate the turks the u.s. is supplying the weapons for that there the u.s. as a whole and. goals which seems to be to break off a part of syria to load the u.s. to dominate a separate part of syria basically they want to go to syria. and in violation of syria and stubborn integrity a country is torn apart by civil war with different factions vying for power as civilians flee in chaos the pentagon has a brilliant idea send in more weapons just so long as they promise to give them

back caleb mopp and r.t. new york. russia's defense ministry has released a video sharing missiles being launched from was shipped under submarine in the mediterranean targeting islamic state positions in syria. the missiles destroyed an i still command center and several weapons stockpiles in the hama province russian intelligence is tracking i saw fighters leaving the embattled city of raka as they move towards the city of palmira a number of them were killed by russian airstrikes. over to germany now where the parliament has approved a law allowing the country's secret services to monitor messaging platforms like what's up critics say their plan infringes civil liberties artie's piece all of the

reports from berlin. german parliament has adopted this law that would allow what's up messages or any other messaging service that using crippin to be loved those messages that are sent to be read by the authorities what they do is they intercepted before it sent from one device to another where the encryption takes place. now this is a move that it's been referred to by the interior minister here in germany thomas the amazing is essential when it comes to the fight against terror we've also heard similar things coming from the. european union summit that's ongoing in brussels at the moment from the e.u. council president donald he said that authorities need access to this type of information if they're to try and stop future terrorist attacks. have also agreed on the need to cooperate close loose online industry. we are calling on social

media companies to do whatever is necessary to prevent the firth of terrorists or to go on the internet and practice this means developing clear tools to detect and three move such materials automatically but we have heard this in the past if we look back to the united kingdom and the recent horrific terrorist attacks that took place in in manchester and in london we heard from the home secretary rhodes in the u.k. i'm from prime minister to reason may saying they needed access to this information if they were to try in foil potential future attacks we want companies to develop tools to identify and remove harmful materials automatically i want to see them report this file contents to the or storage is and block the users who spread it there should be no place for terrorists to hide we need to make sure that organizations like whatsapp and there are plenty of others like that don't provide

a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other we need to. make sure that our intelligence services have the ability to get into situations like encrypted what's up but critics of this move well many what we're seeing here in germany is the green party in particular mounting a resistance to this they want to see held up in the constitutional court for as long as possible they say that it gives too much power to those that hold the keys to allow them the potential for abuse is. the poppy fields of afghanistan are giving rise to increasing global opium production story and more right after this short break stay with us. when else truths seem wrong why don't we all just don't call. me.

yet to shape out this day comes after. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around quite rich corporations run washington washington media the media. voters elected to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done.

welcome back now almost thirteen million people around the world are suffering from drug addiction that's according to an annual u.n. report opioids are named as the most harmful drug type in the documents says that the marked increase in global opium production is primarily due to rising poppy fields in afghanistan where i guess you have reports from kabul. ten years ago it was a problem five years ago it was a catastrophe now it is a global epidemic the war did this most people's addiction comes from the fighting the conflict ninety percent of the world's heroin originates in afghanistan only a fraction of that amount is used domestically but the effects a devastating the pit of despair right in the middle of the afghan

capital this dry riverbed is actually infamous for being a horn of drug addicts this is where they come to feed their addiction impoverished the homeless the desperate and the hopeless actually many more in the shade under the bridge where wrong but we then not get out the car much less go down that we would be attacked many of these people have unfortunately lost all touch with reality. we spent only minutes there yet in just that short time we filmed this. but an addict picks up a rock and assaults a bodyguard escorting medics locals say it's getting worse and worse. this footage was filmed for us by a former drug addict who used to be

a regular here he too was eventually assaulted and forced to flee every day it is getting worse not better i run into rehab centers one for men and one for women many of the women are mothers with children i once treated a four year old addict sad but far away you might think not so most of the heroin you'll find in canada for example. arms from afghanistan the war and lawlessness here killing people as far away as the americas it's not only the of one problem the of one government that is unable to fight. narcotics but it's also the international community that is actually failing miserably to fight the products or the act in production their counter measures in order to find. drugs were clearly ineffective afghan opioids by trafficked everywhere by

a well oiled smuggling routes north to russia and europe east to asia west to the middle east africa and the americas view pm industry of afghanistan is killing tens of thousands worldwide every year this war is being felt in every corner of the world i've seen afghans generals police generals with my own eyes that they were colluding in the south with their drug smugglers so it is a business of the hynds in the ins dollars that that is that reaches to the pockets of the taliban but also to corrupt afghan officials the millions of afghans there's not much of a choice work is scarce the crops are riskier and less profitable heroin can

both kill and feed when you go there in the rpm season you see schools empty and you see the universities even in the afghans are leaving schools in the worst for fifteen to twenty days to work in the fields and find one in ten afghans is directly involved in the opium industry now consider the families children that they feed. and the sheer size of the problem becomes evident where do you even begin since the nato invasion it has exploded this year's opium harvest could well be the largest yet where george bush tried to at least limit it under obama drug control programs in afghanistan were cut by ninety percent it's politics the ministers the politicians authorities want poppy cultivation to continue if they're americans wanted to they could stop it in

a day but they don't. the unofficial reason is that if coalition forces started eradicating poppy fields angry farmers would flock to the taliban we teach doesn't make much sense given that washington also says that the taliban profits most from poppy cultivation regardless but one thing is clear for now america intends to do nothing about it more i guess the have from kabul afghanistan. now millions of new migrants could set first on european soil next year unless steps are taken immediately by warning came from a top official the head of an summits this being held in brussels. press is important to a lot in africa it is with us that for africa. we don't the solution you have to

get more and more media that's media as the media is making us in the next year coming from. egypt for this we need more investment these. well libya is the country from which most african migrants set out for europe recently humanitarian groups attention has been focused on the city of supper one of the key human trafficking hubs on the african continent according to reports people there are being bought and sold on local slave markets video agency ripley managed to get a firsthand account of what life is like in the migrant herb that. people go to keeping up and they believe you may be more new what do you call the military police over here. mourning the heart would be more probably. go to the police well let's take a look at our map now you can see some power which is since you are situated around

here is where all the main migrant trafficking routes converge into one and those hoping to make it to europe will pay drivers to get them to tripoli across the mediterranean from there migrants are being transported by the sea packed by the hundreds on board inflatable boats in other vessels mostly unfit for a perilous journey across the mediterranean on the way some get rob kidnapped and sometimes even murdered in the process. well meanwhile in europe there are voices questioning whether those arriving in europe on mass are actually fleeing war and famine or just seeking better job opportunities or some of the ngos rescuing migrants in the mediterranean are being accused of encouraging human traffickers earlier my colleague daniel hawkins asked joel millman senior press officer at the international organization for migration about the reasons fueling migration and

the role n.g.o.s play in the crisis. there's been a certain argument rising especially from the sort of center right political spectrum about the difference between migrants and asylum seekers in particular they're saying that many of these people coming are economic migrants rather than people who are victims of war does that argument hold any water to you at all. well it's certainly true and we're not we're not going to be we were in a political about this two years ago the vast majority of migrants on this particular wrote through tripoli were were were distressed migrants where they were people fleeing war the largest two countries two years ago were syria and eritrea the syrian the syrian traffic moved almost entirely in turkey and into greece so the numbers are extremely small i mean forty thousand two years ago in this year are just over a thousand so we know those migrants are coming much through this drought anymore eritrea has also fallen off tremendously so as somalia and sudan there is a train of thought saying that the volunteers that are doing this that are rescuing

these people are moving them on words that are actually supporting trafficking by encouraging people to make this journey to to play into the hands of traffic has all these people the n.g.o.s perhaps partly to blame for a vicious cycle of traffickers and smugglers making profit from people suffering i discount that argument completely i was a reporter covering migration for almost thirty years and i've heard that argument apply g.c.l. you lawyers and church people i think the vicious cycle is the hunger of the war the conditions of some of these countries and also the demand for their labor in the in the in the rich countries i mean there is no question that you can you could just as easily ask is the housewife part of that chain or is the employer part of that saying the answer is yes of course they are so they're no more part of a vicious cycle than than the rest of us who profit from this what are. you watching on c.n.n. to national coming out next itself. kids
