that new anti russia sanctions passed by the u.s. house of representatives will damage europe's energy interests. also the islamic state finances returning to europe leaving authorities struggling for a coordinated way to deal with them. what are the reasons why they went if we can get them back to the. courses. that i think they have an opportunity should be no difference whether woman or child thousands of jihad use. by the government why do we need more. operation exposes had way more than

a million dollars worth of military equipment to fake policeman. it's four o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from our studio with me welcome to the program. we start with breaking news the european commission president. is concerned that america's latest round of sanctions if implemented could damage your energy sector. the u.s. bill could have unintended unilateral effects that impact the e.u.'s energy security interests america first cannot mean that europe's interest come last. by let's get more details about this from martin peter oliver who's in. why is the

so concerned over the possible financial. well there are a number of issues that the european union has with the sanctions that were all these proposed sanctions that were went through the house of representatives in the u.s. with flying colors the e.u.'s main problems lie on when it comes to european businesses that those that conduct business in russia could face potentially huge fines for doing so from the united states there's also what we heard from john claude younker the energy question what we heard from the german foreign ministry their spokesperson said that they can't accept an industrial policy of the united states being passed off as sanctions a spokesperson from the the german federal government as well said that the european european industry couldn't become a target for sanctions we also can hear a statement now from the german foreign ministry there certainly are not happy and they don't want to see the sanctions going ahead i tried to describe that we

fundamentally cannot accept that the american government american politics and congress under the guise of sanctions conduct in the through politics in favor of american energy supplies position has not changed and we will keep saying that loud and clear to the u.s. . applause that if you want me to walk. well it's not just the german government that's been speaking out against these proposed sanctions the french foreign ministry has also issued a statement speaking that that the privates and the effects i beg your pardon that this could have on private individuals and corporate entities could be potentially illegal under international law book when it comes to those who voted in the united states for this or they're quite happy about it we've heard previously from these groups from those sorry before these representatives that voted that they want to see european nations turning more towards u.s.

imports of liquefied gas and one of the things the sanctions would do would mean that countries like here in germany would have to turn to the u.s. for that liquefied gas and it would be essentially a win for those that voted for the sanctions we must continue to focus on how we get our gas here in the united states our natural gas to europe to our allies so they're not so dependent on russia. so angry words coming out from europe if these sanctions do go ahead but what possible scenarios could we see well the nuclear scenario would be the e.u. placing sanctions on the united states well one of the ways that this could take form would be a suspension of short term loans for u.s. businesses wanting to come to business here in europe but that really is the nuclear option that's not what anybody really wants to see on either side of the

atlantic put ultimately now the ball remains in donald trump's court it's been passed by the house of representatives it needs the signature of the president to come into law. to wait and see if he signs are not thanks peter oliver there in berlin. the new bill was met with strong words from moscow russia's deputy foreign minister says washington's actions defy common sense that the authors of the sanctions are seeking to destroy any potential for better relations with russia. and here's one of the main business concerns for the north stream to pipeline its aim to bring gas from russia to europe through the baltic sea companies from germany austria france and the netherlands agreed to pay haul of the cost of the pipeline and invest almost five billion euros to the project labor rights lawyer dan kadlec also told us the sanctions could be a way for the u.s. to get a share of the european energy market. they do not believe this is about protecting

democracy the us democracy or anyone else's this has a lot to do with the us wanting more of a share of the market in europe for its natural gas i think this has a lot to do with the us trying to gain a geo political and economic upper hand in the east i'm not sure if the european union has the courage to take action against the u.s. on this frankly worried that the u.s. will be able to impose these sanctions notwithstanding the e.u.'s opposition to. a sixteen year old german girl captured by iraqi forces last week could be put on trial or expelled from iraq that's according to a statement from the german prosecutor's office linda venza went missing year ago and it's believed she joined islamic state she now says she is regretful and wants to go home to her family here's what people in her hometown had to say. the speech

in which the girl is sixteen and got into this mess at fourteen and fourteen and a half via the internet or whatever i think she should return everyone has the right to make a mistake and everyone should get their second chance. if you generalize the case of linda you have to admit that young people in our country are not capable of defending themselves against the extremist ideology look there's a lack of identity and education leading to a situation where a fifteen year old is ready to fight in a so-called holy war as you heard local seem happy that linda could return to her family but other returning fighters have been receiving a very different reaction in the u.k. a petition for example has launched to keep an eye silver creator out of the country. reports on how people have reacted to other similar cases in europe. i saw is crumbling in syria and iraq rapidly losing territory strongholds and most importantly followers an estimated five thousand fighters traveled to the middle

east from europe twenty to thirty percent are said to be returning now the specter of returning jihadi is wrecking havoc on european streets has haunted governments for a while but tackling this growing threat has proved problematic weeding out extremists who pose the biggest risk is the greatest challenge with many seemingly slipping through the net all willing to fight to european law and justice on their own terms . i don't want to come back permanently my return will be purely for the lawsuit i know i have no future in the neverland's a big stamp has been printed on me you retire or ists you've joined the battle in syria and i want to defend myself the netherlands as it respects the rule of law so which suspect must have the right to defend himself in a court i think the charge against me is unfair the biggest obstacle is the lack of a cohesive plan the european policy on returning fighters some seem to show remorse

about traveling to join the caliphate like this jihadi broad from kent the public though show a little sympathy over seventeen thousand people signed a petition just to stop her returning the british government though has now started using so-called temporary exclusion orders to control the movements of terror suspects but even this policy lacks a fully united front in engaging with intelligence services and with the police and with border force we make sure that they have the tools to track them and keep them out where we can the british government's response has been to try to make it impossible for them to travel to restrict their ability to travel to take upon themselves the ability to remove passports and strangely to deny people the right of return which is legally a very questionable decision by the british government. the picture is even more mixed across the channel countries such as germany the netherlands and then ma they offer rehabilitation programs even with counseling employment and education sweden

takes things a step further in fact one suspected sweetest the hardest was the rest that heathrow airport also usually thought these refused to fully cooperate with the investigation of the british security services which contributed to the ultimate collapse of the trial according to sources he is now back in scandinavia under a new identity assigned by the swedish government it's not also simple though the u.k. has taken a polar opposite take on citizens joining jihadi groups being one of the few countries to actively participate in actually hunting down and eliminating its own national suspected of being a threat to national security i know this is a common. issue these very much like. only one which country. really and also there are many countries that haven't really given any serious consideration yet so it's very much devoid of consensus as to what's actually could be done with these with european freedom of movement

returning terror suspects always seems to be one step ahead of the security services and with such wildly differing approaches in tackling a growing threat it's no wonder corporation intelligence sharing and coordinated policies are still heavily lacking. we asked a muslim rights campaigner and a member of the english democrats for their views on the situation with jihadists returning hand from. people those involved in terrorism who made a deliberate choice to go out there chose to go out there so i don't see how we can welcome them back i think is slightly different for the women and the children whatever reasons why they were and if we can get them back and wanted to them and we educate them put them on extremism courses radicalized them then i think they have an opportunity most of all that should be no difference whether it's man woman or child their way in which to say if we're going to try and look at the education then it has to be gone abroad it cannot be done in this culture because they will be a burden and

a national threats. we have to make sure that these people. can not get anywhere in this country while i think most of them haven't you know been involved in criminality and in terms of terrorism again you know the security agency is going to happen the police are going after those individuals cannot our security service which are overstretched at the minute having to worry about more people and we've got thousands of jihadists already roaming our streets which has been put out by the government why do we need more one point must disagree or cause at the moment one of the things that's in the media is about this jihadi jane. all knew she was promoting the killings of western people now under the rule she's female she would be allowed in my rules no she would not be allowed it actually i think it would be really strong for our intelligence agencies and the police in terms of the battle against terrorism to actually you know bring it back to interrogated to put on

trial in this country so will it continue over the intelligence from her about how she's been you don't have to bring it out on the world i just think is a good thing. to help the fight against our values they want to kill they want to destroy the culture and democracy that we have if we need to look at. these people the nut should be doing in other countries. because we are in iraq or north africa should not be brought to they are going to be a drain on the taxpayer the u.s. threat to our national security many people who i've spoken to and i have a relationship with who were former extremists who were brainwashed by the terrorists like i jumped chaudry and. made an isis and either you know through concerted reachin work over many many years we were able to change those minds.

agents posing as policemen have received military gear with one point two million dollars from the pentagon the undercover operation by the u.s. government accountability office was to test weaknesses in a giveaway program and as jacqueline bouvier reports it's not the first time that military equipment has gone astray. the pentagon is the home of america's department of defense the body that has a budget of over five hundred billion dollars a year and is tasked with protecting the national security of the united states and yet they were duped by a completely phony outfit into selling one point two million dollars of weapons the government accountability office whose job it is to audit other federal agencies set up an undercover operation to determine whether the d.o.d. would sell military grade weapons to an unauthorized buyer and they did the g.a.o. created a fake law enforcement agency put up a bogus website use an address that led to an empty parking lot and put it in order for some potentially deadly kit less than

a week later the sham agency was the proud owner of one point two million dollars worth of night vision goggles simulated m. sixteen a two rifles and pipe bomb a quip meant they never d. any verification like a cation and most of it was by e-mail it was like getting stuff of eve and that's one of the most recent example of the pentagon's faulty bureaucracy earlier this year it was revealed that the u.s. army failed to properly track over a billion dollars worth of weapons and equipment and iraq and kuwait lax controls and record keeping such as this has reportedly resulted in u.s. manufactured arms and then up in the hands of terrorist groups such as i sold this means the u.s. is shipping out weapons without being sure where they end up and just this week the pentagon was criticized for wasting as much as twenty eight million dollars by selecting forest camouflage pattern uniforms for afghan national army soldiers for a sprint in afghanistan only two point one percent of the country is covered by

forest the u.s. defense secretary slammed the pentagon for the waste of taxpayer dollars and called for reform rather than minimize this report or excuse wasteful decisions and expect all department of defense organizations to use this area as a counselor to bring to light wasteful practices and take aggressive steps to end waste which is all. well and good but this is not a new problem two years ago were port service that the pentagon buried an internal study that exposed one hundred twenty five billion dollars worth of administrative waste that was allegedly hidden amid fears that congress would use the findings as an excuse to slash the defense budget and maybe that's exactly what should happen perhaps if the department wasn't blindly awarded hundreds of billions of dollars every year it wouldn't be quite so comfortable throwing it into the wind r.t. washington d.c. . we've got the latest on clashes in jerusalem just after this break.

just don't. get to shape our. culture. and in detroit. when so many find themselves worlds

apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program clashes broke out in jerusalem again on tuesday as a standoff continues between muslim worshipers and israeli police the unrest started over a decision by israeli authorities to install metal detectors at temple mount which is known to muslims as harm al-sharif they were put up after gunmen killed two israeli guards are live this month at the holy sites the metal detectors have since been removed but security cameras remain in place. but i.

i. r t's policy or has the latest on the unrest in jerusalem. well certainly the situation on the ground remains extremely volatile and there are efforts to try and find a compromise the latest effort was the israelis removing metal detectors that they had introduced after two israeli policemen were killed nearly two weeks ago now that move has been rejected by the palestinians the israelis also said that they are looking at installing security cameras now this could take up to six months we understand that particularly palestinian women feel it will be immodest there will be some kind of x. ray system inside these cameras so it seems at this stage that a compromise is not on the immediate cards the palestinians are really insisting that the situation views of the security at the temple mount be the same as it was before this whole flare up of violence that has been ongoing for the better part of two weeks now on tuesday night in front of lionsgate yet again they were

confrontations between muslim worshipers and israeli police the police were using tear gas and other white control measures against palestinians who were throwing rocks and stones at them at this stage all eyes are focused on friday where there has been a nother call for worshipers to come to the mosque and to pray in front of the gates are not actually into the mosque and as we saw last friday this has the scene see it for potential confrontations there have so far been two meetings by the united nations security council where both israelis and palestinians have been trading barbs and accusing each other of the latest flare up in violence the other radical are you and encouraged to kill innocent people in cold blood is a buying power or prices food with the reckless and destructive agenda they hate. they were. openly. discriminatory plans dog abusing international. full bloom all dual

peaceful demonstrations are being met with violent repression of the palestinians. to ignite violence the palestinian people in the city feels discrimination and violence but certainly on the ground the situation is tense and there are concerns that it will be inflamed even more. for arab countries have added new individuals and organizations linked to qatar to their terrorist lists further escalating the already sour relations between the u.s. allies in the gulf region last month they cut ties with qatar a major global gas supplier and host of the biggest u.s. military base in the middle east miguel francis explains. the saudis keep poking at qatar with claims that harbors and sponsors terrorists al-qaeda to be precise the riyadh has now added eighteen more groups and individuals to the list of terrorists allegedly sponsored by qatar but these claims are based on all

documents which begs the question why weren't they released earlier let's go back a bit the could tars sponsors terror attack line was intended to make doha given to the saudi demands some of which included closing down the al jazeera news network cutting ties with iran shutting down a turkish base making it next to impossible for qatar to comply but the saudis aren't backing down just yet a couple of days ago n.b.c. four in washington d.c. began airing commercials that claim qatar is sponsoring terror and destabilizing u.s. allies in the region and guess what the thirty second ads were paid for by none other than the saudi american public relation of ferrous committee the biggest saudi lobbying firm in the united states now all of this is happening despite the fact that the saudis main ally the u.s. has been singing quite a different tune about qatar even signing new deals with doha u.s.

secretary of state rex tillerson visited the shake them twice in forty eight hours just over a week ago he even said he could have cleaned up their act coterie. or rather were. ever put forth and so was told it was or is are. living this way which is really where the post i think negative effect will occur. or there will be a good news for. the govt. the americans don't know what to do because trump wants to go on about terrorism and putting down to qatar as being a supporter of terrorism. yet at the same time they have this huge air base in qatar that will go. disappear like this you know if there is a war against qatar saudi arabia must have felt on top of the world when their king held a glowing crystal ball with donald trump but if they thought that crystal ball could

tell them the future they were mistaken francis and giago r.t. . residents of a town in the south of france have built a wall around an abandoned hotel to protest against plans to how is that migrants there that this huge facility is just one of dozens of similar buildings around france bought by the state to house refugees. just. this wall was built because people are scared of a massive influx of foreigners who do not have the same culture as us we don't know if his temporary our schools don't have the capacity to receive them to school canteens and sports facilities are not big enough this is being imposed on us and

it's shocking this war will force them to listen to was before our wishes were in being heard but now that we have poured out the war they're listening to us meanwhile a balanchine lawyer has defended the residents of the town arguing that they just want to voice their concerns of the migrant policies. there was a nice and even anger from the citizen and i sing that these kind of events that we've seen in sydney i was just multiply in the future it's a tool to feed you the e.u. without both parties see a do the b. side these politics beat the e.u. live a little bit. of all this to my cool look to the old in a repeat. confront to these realities and that's a major major problem. we're on facebook each a ban of course website i thought a dot com so make sure you check us out online at the top of the next hour.

we all. fell. asleep. yes well this is how the good.

the feel we'll be. covering the world should. periods cleaned up and you get the old the old. the old according to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride. here's what people have been saying about reject. the only show i go out of my way to lunch and it was really packed them. all over a party america is doing the same. apparently better than. to see people you've never heard of. jack to the next president of the world bank.

seriously send us an email. times here we're going underground sixty four years to the day fidel castro and jacob are launched the cuban revolution against u.s. dominance in the western hemisphere coming up on the show forty eight hours since the i.m.f. downgraded u.k. growth forecasts. confessed. to join cook ins about neoliberal weapons of mass destruction and after last night's stormy meeting between survivors of the. day to resume appointed judge we speak to the last president of an estate about to be allegedly socially cleansed between a rock and a hard place i'm from the headlines discover a plan for

a basic income socialism the next generation all this of all going up in today's going underground but first hundreds of palestinians have been wounded since the u.k. backed israeli government restricted muslim access to the al aqsa mosque predictably maybe rupert murdoch's sky news didn't even label the holy site in jerusalem let alone are referring to it in on screen titles as only the jewish temple mount but while bias by sky and the state mandated b.b.c. and others may be predictable because they routinely privileged major foreign policy around. the world what about violence here in britain even violence in britain's capital london because on sunday morning this was the b.b.c.'s andrew marr programme introducing the top headline on the state mandated british broadcaster first the news that gina de healy good morning andre princes william and harry have given a candidate insight into their relationship with their mother princess diana and the news continues.
