a million dollars worth of military equipment to great policeman. it's seven o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from austin dinner with me. welcome to the program. the who 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 things they could damage energy sector the us bill could have unintended unilateral effects that impact the energy security interests america first kind of mean that europe's interests come last 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 no less
12:02 pm
disappointing regarding international law and trade relations. the new u.s. sanctions 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 two pipeline it's aimed to bring gas from russia to europe through the baltic sea for germany austria france and the netherlands agreed to pay hoffa of the cost of the pipeline and invest almost five billion euros to the project the list of companies fear being affected include some of the world's biggest players in the industry has some of them including anglo dutch shell french company and the u.k.'s b.p. and germany's that when shell and the head of winchell has declared that the sanctions shouldn't be used to push someone's economic interests referring of course to the u.s. pirating its liquid natural gas peter oliver has more on the reaction. all of the
12:03 pm
potential impact that these sanctions could have on both the the business and energy sectors here in europe that has you officials hot under the collar there are potentially huge fines for businesses that would enter into energy projects with russia many of those blue chip european companies of course are heavily involved there what we've heard from the german foreign ministry is them saying that it can't be accepted that the industrial policy of another nation be passed off as sanctions while the german government spokesperson also came out saying that industry can't be targeted and if there will be a response if the sanctions or when the sanctions go through we can hear more from them right now i tried to describe the mentally 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 this position has not changed and we will keep saying that loud and clear to the u.s.
12:04 pm
if you really are in principle refusing sanctions that in fact throw parties or other states it's important that the united states and europe coordinate closely and their sanctions bill is it'll what's russia. it's not just the germans though the french foreign ministry issued a statement saying that well they believe that the sanctions impacted upon the rights of private individuals as well as corporate entities to an extent that they believe may go beyond international law but just who supported the sanctions in the united states in the house of representatives four hundred nineteen to three they went through the vote there but when we look particularly at the energy sector we have to look it who supported the sanctions in the house of representatives remember four hundred and nineteen to three this sailed through in the vote on it but those that voted for sanctions are also among those who want us gas on the
12:05 pm
market something sanctions would make much easier 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 options remain for the european union when these sanctions or if these sanctions come into being the european union could decide to impose sanctions of their own on the united states now this could take the form of e.u. bank suspending u.s. companies ability to take out short term loans but let's be realistic this would be a nuclear option from the european union i expect a lot more strong words than those type of actions but the ball right now is very much in president donald trump's court and whether he signs that or not it could change what type of reaction we get from here in europe to these new sanctions from the united states on russia's energy sector. experts that we spoke to believe the
12:06 pm
u.s. won't find many takers for its liquid gas on the european market. sanctions as perhaps . are being implemented for lack of another better idea and it's being now pushed down the throats of a lot of countries it's not something that's of voluntary and desired american male liquid gas. injury to europe ok fine if there's a market for but is it competitive here you have a russia huge producer right on the doorstep of russia's for result i know has not been playing politics from hardball using gas or oil this slows post without consultation with the europeans that fact in itself is causing concern there is not enough us yes and because the us would wind up being more expensive than russian gas so good luck to the business men who can do that deal.
12:07 pm
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 van zyl went missing a year ago and it's believed a joint islamic state she now says she is regretful and wants to go home to her family here's what people and her hometown had to say. a speech in which the girl is sixteen and got into this mess at fourteen and 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 generalized 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 a so-called holy war. as you had local a willing to give
12:08 pm
a second chance but other fighters haven't been accepted back in the same way in one case a petition was launched in the u.k. to keep an ice over out of the country that hawkins reports on how europeans are reacting to jihadist soldiers coming home. 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 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 law and justice on their own terms. i do not want to come back permanently my return will be purely for the lawsuit i know i have no future in the neverland's
12:09 pm
a big stem has been printed on me you're a terrorist you've joined the battle in syria and i want to defend myself the netherlands respects the rule of law so which suspect must have the right to defend himself in a court i think the charge against me was in fear the biggest obstacle is the lack of a cohesive and european policy all returning fighters some seem to show remorse about traveling to join the caliphate like. this jihadi bride 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
12:10 pm
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 now 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. 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
12:11 pm
national suspected of being a threat to national security you know there's a common. these very much. it's only 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 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 party for their on the situation this jihad is returning home from i've seen. 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
12:12 pm
whatever reasons why they went if we can get them back and wanted to them and we educate them put them on extremism courses radicalize them then i think they have an opportunity most of all the 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 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 terms of terrorism again you know the security agencies are going to have to the police are going after those individuals cannot 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 of one point most disagree or cause at the moment one of the things that's in the media is about this jihadi jane. all knew she was
12:13 pm
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 trial in this country so we were able to go over the intelligence from her about how she's been you don't have to when you go around the world i just think it's a good thing. they go to help fight against our values they want to kill or they want to destroy the culture and. that we have if we need to. reeducate these people they're not should be doing in all the countries where they can be in iraq north africa should not be brought to they are going to be a drain on the taxpayer they are threat to our national security there are many people
12:14 pm
who i've spoken to and 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. the pentagon has allegedly handed over a million dollars worth of military gear to agents posing as security officers will bring you the details after this break. in case you're new to the game this is how it works in the economy is built around . washington washington media the media. voters elect me to run this country business because.

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 good giveaway program and as trucking through the 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
12:17 pm
worth of night fishing goggles simulated m. sixteen a two rifles and pipe bomb a quick meant they never d. and you verification like a cation and most of it was by email it was like getting stuff of 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
12:18 pm
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. . clashes broke out in jerusalem again on tuesday as a standoff continues between muslim worshipers an israeli police arrest started over a decision by israeli authorities to install metal detectors at temple mount which
12:19 pm
is known to muslims as harm al-sharif they were put up after gunmen killed two israeli guards earlier this month at the holy site the metal detectors have since been removed but security cameras remain in place. the. artes policy has the latest on the unrest in jerusalem. the situation here at lion's gate one of the entrances to al aqsa mosque is tense as you can see a strong police presence behind me now this is the furthest they letting us go it follows overnight again heavy clashes between israeli security officers throwing tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters who were hurling rocks and stones at them this is nearly two weeks of violence that has left some six people killed in the
12:20 pm
latest measures to try and calm the situation israel says it will remove metal detectors that will put up after two security guards were killed two fridays ago but the palestinian president mahmoud abbas says this is not enough and he insists that israel returns to the way the status quo was before that incident 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 well if they know their radical are you and encouraged to kill innocent israelis in cold blood is a buying power or presses forth with the reckless and destructive agenda they teach hate they invest there were is a openly and shamelessly pursues discriminatory plans dog abusing international. doubling foreign funds to bloom all day all peaceful demonstrations are being met
12:21 pm
with violent repression the palestinians stop oil due to ignite violence the palestinian people in the city face discrimination and violence it was also said to introduce some kind of security cameras this will unfold over the next few months but in the meantime palestinian protesters say they'll continue to go to the streets and we are expecting friday to be a major day of clashes certainly the mood on the ground extremely tense and the police behind me bracing for further conflict policy r.t. jerusalem. for arab countries have added new individuals and organizations linked to qatar to their terrorist lists further escalating the already sour relations between different u.s. allies in the gulf region last month they cut ties with qatar a major global gas supplier and host to the biggest u.s. military base in the middle east may help france's sunday other explained. the saudis keep poking at qatar with claims that harbors and sponsors terrorists
12:22 pm
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
12:23 pm
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 i hold it for. a living this way which is really where the post i think it was the coterie that there will be a good use for. the govt for. 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
12:24 pm
qatar that will go. disappear like this no 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. . russia's northern city of st petersburg will play host to the parade on sunday with some giants of the water on show from the country's military .

representatives is c.n.n. in newsweek declaring that russia supplying arms to the taliban in afghanistan at least that's what their headline implied but it's not exactly what the evidence proves newsweek's damian sharkey of reports that according to what a taliban splinter group told c.n.n. they acquired their guns as spoils of war after a bank wishing a local taliban rival group to receive the russian arms via moscow's military ally iran. which i venture must be the arms dealing equivalent of the old i heard from a guy who heard from a guy who heard from a guy who bought it from his sisters brothers nieces nephews beyond say. but c.n.n. also has video proof ladies and gentlemen yes video proof that shows a kalashnikov style rifle in the hands of the taliban fighters in afghanistan.
12:28 pm
think about that for a minute all you history buffs out there i want you to think about that for a moment a collage rifle in the hands of a fighter in afghanistan yes while earth shattering evidence of something that's never happened before in the history of humanity and war barren afghanistan and cnn's own article had to admit weapons experts from the small arms survey studied the videos and said there was little in them to directly tie the guns to the russian state you know. i think maybe c.n.n. and newsweek should start worrying less about moscow's arms dealing and start worrying more about our own pentagon is here at home you see according to the government accountability office the pentagon just got caught in a sting handing over one point two million dollars in weapons and equipment to a completely made up and fake law enforcement agency thanks once again to the ever lovely ever controversial ten thirty three program. aka guns absurdity
12:29 pm
c.n.n. and ten thirty three you know it's time to start watching the hawks now. it looks like. it's the classic. like you know that i got. it. this week so. well for watching the hawks i am so old that sometimes having a lot. of c.n.n. cannot get into the game nor news we can keep a straight face out there in the game and talk about arms dealing in this world because at the end of the day they don't do reporting on it very well in my humble opinion big.
