the that new anti russia sanctions u.s. house of representatives will damage europe's energy interests. also this hour former islamic state finances returning to europe leaving authorities struggling for a coordinated way to deal with them. whatever reasons why they were and if we can get them back into the movie educate them put them on the extremism courses and do radicalize them but i think they their problem opportunity should be no difference

whether it's man and woman or child thousands of jihad use already rolled in our streets which has been put out by the government why do we need more. and an undercover operation exposes how the pentagon gave away more than a million dollars worth of military equipment to fake police. it's five o'clock am in moscow and you're watching on t international live from our studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. the e.u. has issued a stern warning to washington over the latest anti russia sanctions after they were passed by the u.s. house of representatives the european commission president thinks they could damage europe's energy sector. the us bill could have unintended unilateral effects impact that you use energy security interests america first cannot mean that

europe's interests come last. they need us science and threaten to punish companies doing business with russia's energy sector and that's causing concern for the e.u. and one major joint project with russia the nord stream to pipeline its aim to bring gas from russia to through the baltic sea firms from germany austria france and the netherlands agreed to pay half of the cost of the pipeline and invest almost five billion euros to the project the list of companies that fear being affected include some of the world's biggest players in the industry here's some of them including dutch shell french company and the u.k.'s b.p. and germany's winter shell and the head of winter shell has declared that this sanctions shouldn't be put used to push someone else's economic interests referring to the us promoting its and liquid natural gas russia has given its

reaction to the latest us bill expressing disappointment in terms of their bilateral relations in terms of russia u.s. relations and their development perspectives this news is quite sad and no less disappointing regarding international law and trade relations. well let's cross live now to auntie's peter all over in the in for more details here peter why is the so concerned over the possible new sanctions. well the two main reasons that have got a you countries and representatives hot under the collar over the sanctions are the impact it potentially could have on both the business and industry sectors here in the european union there is potentially huge fines for european companies that would do business with russia could also see russian gas taken out of the the

energy market for the four european nations and that's prompted people like the german foreign ministry to put out a statement saying they can't accept the industrial policy of another nation being passed over sanctions a statement coming from the german government itself saying that the. industries i beg your point but not be targeted and that germany and the german government would respond if this is adopted. i tried to describe it as the mentally ill and not exactly the american government american politics and congress under the guise of sanctions conduct enough through politics in favor of american energy supply. position has not changed so we will keep saying that loud and clear to the u.s. . is a hold on her poise that if you want me to walk on it. a lot of void with. that i mean country partner for time. well it's not just germany that's been speaking out the french foreign ministry issued a statement in which and which they said that the sanctions as there would at the

moment the bill as it's would at the moment still hasn't been adopted yet impacted upon the rights of private citizens and also of corporate entities and fight the french going as far as to say that it may infringe upon international law but just who voted for the sin the united states four hundred and nineteen to three this passed by unanimous in the house of representatives and those that voted for it though well among all the people that want to push us liquefied gas and louis gas onto the u.s. onto a big part of the e.u. energy sector pushing russia to one site in california 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 what can happen next well the unlikely and perhaps nuclear option for me e.u.

if this bill is adopted which it almost looks certain that it will be is to impose sanctions on the united states now these could if they went for down that route take the form of the banks freezing the ability of u.s. businesses to take short term loans highly unlikely but certainly incredibly dramatic of that did happen alternately now though the ball is in u.s. president donald trump's court the bill got such high numbers behind it that it's completely on veto a bill it does seem however whether he puts his signature to it or not could. give us an indication of just where we're headed next so all eyes are on the the oval office to see if president donald trump will sign off on this new round of sanctions that the e.u. in the e.u. opposes. ok worth the wait and see what happens peter peter oliver there giving us

an update on light in berlin thanks peter. ok we can discuss this further now with dr mark shanahan a politics and international relations expert from reading university in the u.k. thanks man for coming on to r.t. now if you theory is the sanctions if implemented. what kind of damage can be done to you appear to your obscenity sector. well my expertise really in this is the american science so i'd approach it from the american side as your previous reports have said there are a number of house representatives in america who really really are pushing hard for the american field and they are looking at the midterms next year and being reelected on the basis of keeping american jobs in the energy sector and they will push very hard for that we're coming off the back of made in america week off the

back of six months of president america first campaign and this really does have the danger of creating a breakdown across the energy industry and terms of relationships between russia between the european countries who many of whom are going to be reliance on this new pipeline that will be coming through from russia particularly germany and the united states but this really plays into domestic politics in america is less about energy. sanctions bill that's going to in fact it's not just about russia it's about iran and about north korea too and much about the military buildup and military breakdown between those countries as it is about energy but this is about putting the president back in his box it's a fight between the g.o.p. the republicans in congress and the executive branch in the white house and at the

moment the president is not in a very strong place as you said he could almost certainly not see his veto carry through on this bill and may end up in a very very weak position now there's a week left of congress just about the end of july and they will hope to smooth things over particularly with the e.u. not so much with russia so that we don't get the kind of energy. is feared i mean how are they going to see the things over if he signs you know if he signs this the way france says that sanctions could be a breach of international law it's really has rubbed a lot of countries up the wrong way hasn't it. absolutely. naive when it comes to foreign relations when the talk around washington today is of rex tillerson oil industry executive who is the secretary of state walking from the job he's not around in washington today it's been covered over so in that he's

taking a short break but is he on the edge of resignation and this all comes around the trump family politics trump is very very scared of the investigation that is putting together certainly has been very shaky over the weekend when some issues have come out so in that moment may be able to investigate trump's private financial affairs and that is now playing out in him lashing out at all of those around him including congress mainly over health but certainly over this bill as well which is showing congress standing up against the president's wishes trump would quite like to lift sanctions particularly on russia not on north korea or iran but congress don't see that as the way to go forward with all they will be lots of moves behind the scenes but trump is so unpredictable that we can't say that this will be swept away but with lots of efforts to make it happen how successful they will be i don't think any of us know mark just quickly because we

haven't got that much time but what what can other countries do. any impact on them if these sanctions do indeed come into play. well the u. is a very very strong trading body in its own right may. choose to work around the american sanctions and deal directly particularly on the energy from with russia. that will bring them into conflicts with the united states and that hasn't happened for quite a long time ago and that base level but it may be a case of having to ok dr mark shanahan politics and i are director teaching and learning from the university of reading thanks very very much for joining us here on the program and giving us your expertise thanks. 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

a year ago and it's believed she joined us on mixtape she now says she is regretful and wants to go home to her family here's what people in our hometown had to say. the girl is sixteen and got into this mess at fourteen fourteen and a half via the internet so 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 extremist ideology because of a lack of identity and education leading to a situation where a fifteen year old is ready to fight in the so-called holy war. and so you heard that with the local seem happy that linda could return to her family but other returning fighters have received very different reactions in the u.k. for example a petition was launched to keep an eye solver creator out of the country danny hawkins reports on how people have reacted to other similar cases. 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 or willing to fight to european lauren justice on their own terms. least 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 your return 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 show 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 denmark they offer rehabilitation programs even with counseling employment and education sweden takes things a step further in fact one suspected sweetest the hardest was arrest that heathrow airport authorities 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 all so 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. only one which country. really 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 or we seem 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 the muslim rights campaigner and a member of the english democrats that he's on the situation joe hart is returning home from of the scenes. 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 this should be no difference whether it's a 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 well i think most of them haven't you know been involved in criminality in in terms of terrorism again you know the security agency's going to happen the police are going after those individuals cannot have our security service which 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 we're able to be able to get intelligence from her about how she's been you don't have to bring it around 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. whether in iraq north africa should not be brought to you they are going to be a drain on the taxpayer they are threat to our national security there are many people who i've spoken to and i have a relationship with who were former extremists who were brainwashed by the terrorists. and. by the you know through concerted. work over many many years we were able to change those minds.

violence has flared up again and the heightened security measures at a revered mosque we'll have that story and reaction after this break. our.

will. according. to. welcome back to the program agents posing as policemen have received military gear worth one point two million dollars from the pentagon the undercover operation by u.s. government accountability office was to test weaknesses in a gig giveaway program and as jacqueline vega 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 the cation most was by email 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 us 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 i expect all department of defense organizations to use this area as a consulate 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. . clashes broke out in jerusalem again on tuesday as a standoff continues between muslim worshipers and israeli police the unrest started over digital by israeli authorities to install metal detectors at temple mount which is known to muslims as hamas shareef they were put up after gunmen killed two israeli consulate this month at the holy site the metal detectors have since been removed but security cameras remain in place.

ati's polis later 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 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 we both israelis and palestinians have been trading barbs and accusing each other of the latest flare up in violence the you know their radicalized and encouraged to kill innocent israelis in cold blood is a buying power but it is fourth with the reckless and destructive agenda they teach hate they invest in they were. openly and shamelessly.

discriminatory plans stop abusing international. funds to promote dual peaceful demonstrations are being met with violent repression the palestinians. to ignite violence. faced discrimination and violence but certainly on the ground the situation is tense and they were all concerns that it will be inflamed even more. residents of a town in the south of france have built a wall around an abandoned hotel to protest against plans to house right there the disused facility is just one of dozens of similar buildings around france bought by the state to house refugees. i. just watched.

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 it's temporary our schools don't have the capacity to receive them the 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 wars were in being heard but now that we have poured out the war they're listening to us meanwhile a belgian lawyer has defended the residents of the town arguing that they just want to voice their concerns over the ease of migrant policies. there was a nice and even anger from the citizens and i sing that these kind of events that we have seen in sydney i was just multiply in the future it's a tool to feed you the. party see a little beside these politics beat the e.u. live a little bit. or mr maku all. confront

the. realities and that's a major major problem. well on facebook you tube and of course website which is dot com so make sure to check if i'm online at the top of. the box but. i'll. leave. yes to almost all the good. he.

chose seemed wrong. but all blogs just don't call. me to call yet to shape out just to become educated. and. it was betrayal. to look for common ground. one.
