it is in france's two hundred seventy two had its return to the country with a much vaunted effort to tackle radicalised floundering also this hour new video appeared online showing the arrest of a sixteen year old german girl who went to join islamic state in the risk of getting the death penalty in iraq and began activists for support in california to hang an animal rights sign in the shop window.

hello there come july from moscow you're watching r.t. international it's good to have you company now our top story this hour around two hundred seventy jihadists have recently come back to france after fighting in iraq and syria some have been arrested and the courts are currently plowing through the cases of others the numbers were revealed by the french interior minister who also highlighted that the terror threat remains extremely high in the temp to rein in extremism in france had opened its first the radicalization center nearly a year ago but the vicinities already hit the buffers as charlotte two bensky now reports. it was billed as francis spoke with jihad ists was the country's first radicalization center when it opened last year ati's. was here. this is rehab for extremists once inside psychologists here will provide therapy and counselors will teach students

about this isn't ship. i am. i i have heard. that if no small thing this center should be located somewhere much less populated there is a school just eight hundred meters away but mission of separately i don't think it's an intelligent move to protect the ridiculous zation center next to a nuclear power station it's terrifying and i'm against it. they're trying to fix the problem but it's about a kilometer away from the nuclear plant you know where. the old decision should they have only been interrogated by police if they. told that evidently is there wouldn't be any violent people if there was be only those quiet the early stages of friday causation. but just months later the

shutters down so way did it go wrong. at a cost of two point five million us pay year knowing that people were treated none finished the course one resident from the center was even a respite for having links to those behind the paris attacks. and fifteen while on the east from his rehabilitation and since february not a single person is being here the deed radicalisation so did this friendship the money. it is a complete fiasco everything is to be rethought everything is to be reconstructed decoding to people will see me putting it mildly yes i would say this is a fiasco. money spent this way is a waste there are so many other things to do but to spend it on radicalized people

know there are other associations and other centers to spend money on. this could not have turned out well if it is organized this way just letting people in and convincing them to think the other way or to see differently there are four or five people at once this is too expensive but residents say they. said it's closed because it's nothing but. i was against this center from the beginning and i am happy to is now closed this center should not have been here there is a nuclear plant near here. i think the location was inappropriate as it is quite close to the town to the kids this is too close to houses and not very secure and were not properly informed we did not receive any information many people sold their houses because of the center a complete failure that's how many people are describing this project and many and now left wondering if france has

a concrete solution to the estimated fifteen thousand citizens. in this country. since the frogs terrorism expert was consulted by the french authorities about the center. and he told me. the french have historically not taken the marine proactive and approach one comes to engage in what people when they find or label. us and really up until the attacks in two thousand and fifteen and then very limited to try and actually stem the problem that was developed following the two thousand and fifteen attacks and parents there was a renewed interest in trying to. over time only hearing something on a more proactive warning and so the french government commissioned

a small group to look into what other countries around europe were doing when the french announced that they were going to create new centers in the manner that they actually did and i think everybody that works with him that is communicating and is knowledgeable about it was shot that the french were in ten minutes from taking an aim to it so i don't think it is really a surprise to anybody other than the french government to be fair. well another european country germany is also not new to kate is a radicalization video has emerged of the moment to radicalize a teenaged girl was arrested in iraq and paraded through the city of mosul. sixteen year old linda van zyl here was seized just over a fortnight ago along with other female isom supporters it is now feared she risks

the death penalty our europe correspondent peter oliver has more to tell us. this latest video that's emerged shows a sixteen year old linda vents that he's originally from a small town just to the northeast of dresden in the east of germany you know she's been taken away a what's been described as they walk of shame on her way to a detention facility by the iraqi military by iraqi troops there she says that she wants to return to germany that she wishes she'd never joined islamic state in the first place we're starting to piece together just how she got there it's understood she was radicalized online when she was around fifteen years old before deciding that she wanted to go off to be a jihadi bright and went off to iraq where that's happened the question is now over where she will face more questioning will it be in a rock or will it be in germany certainly dos in her hometown in germany think that

she deserves the chance to come home and face justice here the speech in which 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 look at the case of linda it's clear that young people in our country are not capable of defending themselves against extremist ideology because of a lack of identity and education this is led to a situation where a fifteen year old girl is ready to fight in a so-called holy war. however she remains in custody in iraq which is spacing questioning over herb affiliation with offenses there is also the small chance that she could face the death penalty in iraq that would be for being a member of the islamic state however the german authorities are working very hard to try and get her back here to on german soil to face questioning here it's worth

noting that there would be a full investigation as to what she what role she actually played while she was with islamic state it's understood that she may well have been part of a morality police in charge of making sure that women were dressed in accordance with the the ideologies of the the islamic state group it's very likely that she may face a lengthy prison sentence here in germany if she's found guilty of having connections or if she's found guilty certainly of of having fought for the islamic state in any capacity but linda is just one of hundreds of germans that went off to joy in islamic states of one capacity or another at least include many women. and young girls as well who went off there with the express intention of being jihadi brights certainly defensive who turned seventeen at the end of this month wanting to return

to germany following her experience with ice or close up. a brutal massacre in a village in northern afghanistan is thought to have killed at least forty people including children province's governor says the attack took place after the village was captured by an unknown group of militants which included foreign fighters although they are suspected of being a mix of taliban and i saw insurgents elsewhere in the country one thousand four hundred internally displaced civilians have arrived in jalalabad seeking shelter they've become victims of the taliban i still and u.s. airstrikes some have been describing their old the. islamic state groups brutally attacked civilians and the afghanistan national then foreign forces came to the battlefield then the u.s.

dropped the mother of all bombs on the village what is left is ruins. a lot of what i was going to be sure but it. isis militants slaughtered our own call saying he was a spy who fled since the threaten to kill us the next day. islamic state militants slaughtered our five cousins some front of us they could have come in killed us any time to kill so we left our whole. first isis attacked our village then came american airstrikes now we don't have anything everything is destroyed.

well fighting has intensified in afghanistan mishi with the taliban stepping up its attacks we discuss the she would came in international relations professor at beirut's lebanese university and he says that u.s. airstrikes are not effective in countering the root cause of the violence i believe that the syrians are the primary victims of the war going on in afghanistan and as for the world isis. and the taliban and other predators groups in afghanistan. consideration human lives. for the united states which claims that it respects human rights. rights to promote democracy you get less about

human lives especially when it comes to an un-american and human lives it's not easy to wipe out these groups you need to work again on the grassroots of the problem on fighting radical. islam. now of all the signs you might expect to see in a butcher's window opposed to saying that killing animals is violent and unjust is probably not one of them but a shop in california has agreed to display just that message after feeding activists rallied outside for months carrying out some gruesome stuff it's. think. he remembered your why not some but after. that i thought i heard. that he. as well as forcing the owner to display the meat sign in the shop demonstrators from the group direct direct actions everywhere demanding it became butchery it's unclear though what exactly that means they also

want the right to carry out and more rights demonstrations there twice a year the shop belongs to monica and her husband and the family says it is their rights which are being abused monica describes the activists is extremists carrying out ethical extortion the vegan activist group spokes person explained their mission. as with the successful social movements throughout history when we when we do these public demonstrations we are intending to dramatize an issue and get an issue on the table because we feel like it's an issue that we are inevitably going to win when it is discussed on a wide enough scale we know that we are on the side of of justice we are on the side of compassion and nonviolence we know that people don't actually want to support violence towards animals and it's only because we we live in a society that that that normalizes it so much that it is allowed to persist we intend to make berkeley california the united states leader on animal rights issues

we intend to liberate the city of berkeley by banning all violence towards animals by twenty twenty five in effect banning meats in berkeley as part of a broader plan to pass a constitutional amendment for animal rights and human discrimination that's pervasive in our society. well and to me protestors have resorted to extreme measures for years to discourage people from eating animals including some pretty gut wrenching stubs to be prepared though even though a lot of it is faked up they are pretty extreme and graphic. to the. american comedian mark klein says the big an activist tend to attack small

businesses because they do fear the consequences of targeting big selling companies the protests were a form of extortion because essentially they were saying. do this for us or we won't stop harassing you so yeah that is expression it's kind of like how the mafia used to say pay us for protection or we're going to destroy your shop that's kind of how it feels protesters chose a small butcher shop because it's a smaller target so they feel like they could have a bigger impact a smaller shop would be easier for them to extort event a big farm or a big factory if they chose mcdonald's there's a chance that mcdonald's lawyers might get involved and ultimately these people are here they're kind of just children who are scared of consequences so they'll only do something if they feel like it's going to work out. still ahead for you the un condemns the latest strike in war ravaged yemen saying the rules of armed conflict they're being ignored we'll have the details on that because of the stories today

after this break. when the ruling classes to protect them so. we can all middle of the room see. the real news room.

again now the united nations is strongly condemned the latest airstrike in yemen which killed at least twelve people and injured ten others on saturday it is thought to being carried out by the saudi led coalition the un's official in yemen says all parties to the conflict continue to ignore the safety of civilians in the failing to distinguish between them and the fighters in a statement the organization said the latest incident shows a disregard for the rules of war this is a short video of the aftermath of that strike but a word of warning the images you're about to see are upsetting when the airstrike

hit a civilian area inside our province a stronghold for hooty rebels in yemen children are among those killed and has been repeatedly targeted by air bombardment since the very start of the conflict riyadh's coalition denies it was responsible though saying they do not target civilians meanwhile the u.k. remains one of saudi arabia's main arms partners it just recently agreed a new deal to do with the gulf state for weapons worth almost three hundred million pounds in socal the u.k. is sold three billion pounds worth of arms to riyadh since the beginning of the war in twenty fifteen that is despite the growing evidence that they are being used against civilians currently the gulf state has twice as twice as many british made planes as the u.k. royal air force itself british officials deny though that humanitarian law is being violated and say that saudi arabia is their main partner in the region. so far we do not believe that has been

a clear risk of breach of international humanitarian law at the moment would we do exactly. the threshold has been crossed what matters is the strength of our relationship with saudi arabia on issues like dealing with terrorism on counterterrorism issues it is that relationship that has helped to keep people on the streets of britain safe middle east commentator abdel bari atwan says that britain should stop selling arms to saudi arabia to stop innocent killing so warplanes are bombing with the parties there are you one of the. most brutal is a good bargain so i believe that there are really responsible for the miserable situation over at least twenty five million year many i believe written by supplying the saudi with a munitions armament i believe they are participating in all festivity a crime was in this country in the whole of the middle east i think this is the

time to put an end to this war and. put them into any supply to the saudi government with arms and munitions. the latest major reshuffle among donald trump's top team has seen a series of sackings among his national security aides but even the man in charge of the dismissal was in the firing line over what might have driven his decisions with more his. general mcmaster national security adviser to donald trump his loyalty to the president is supposed to be a default quality except now instead it's widely in question mcmaster made a decision to allow susan rice his predecessor in the job and long time obama ally to keep full access to classified information. the national security council will continue to work with you to ensure the appropriate security clearance documentation remains on file to allow you access to classified information. this

revelation emerged just weeks after it was revealed that susan rice had been unmasking members of the trump team who happened to be mentioned in classified intelligence reports by default the names are redacted but susan rice had been making sure that the names and the information was readily available to anyone with a clearance to see classified government documents and potentially leak this information to the media susan rice's actions were flagged by as recall in wapnick a member of the trumpet ministration since january apparently his revelation struck the wrong chord with mcmaster who has now dismissed him and it appears that's how it works with the general if he doesn't like you you go these people laid the very foundation of trump's foreign policy promises as a candidate we've been moving from one wrecked was intervention to another coup in libya syria irak iran this destructive cycle bad decisions we cannot be the policeman of the world now that most of those who shape trumps

foreign policy have gone we have this my attitude toward syria and assad has changed very much and i don't order a target a new jersey state or if you can see it will handle both here we're going to be able to handle it will be it will be handled trouble they have come to washington promising that you would drain the swamp that's proving to be pretty difficult especially when you're already neck deep in it cable r.t. new york according to reports the security clearance given to susan rice was a regular procedure for every living former presidential adviser rice says she's never requested the identities of trump's team members to be revealed for political purposes only u.s. congressman michael flanagan thinks the mcmaster is pursuing a different us foreign policy strategy than the president announced was putting his

future as the national security adviser at risk. i think general with master views his own views of the national security the united states his job in the foreign policy of this noted stays as superior to that of the president but master was a mistake he's going to go. and take over is clearly general in afghanistan where the uniform back up and he will be replaced with someone who can actually execute the trumpet ministrations foreign policy goals. now the leading bahraini human rights activist maybe what his job is facing up to fifteen years in prison this is trial resumes today for tweeting about the war in yemen the jab is the co-founder of the bahrain center for human rights and has been in an active prison for criticizing the bahraini government jobs being described as the unofficial leader of the opposition in bahrain where a muslim shia majority has been protesting against the sunni more nikkei for years

. i was. i was. was. was. was. well libya has been in and out of prison five times in fact in the last five years he was put behind bars in twenty twelve for two years and then shortly after his release he was again arrested and imprisoned although for a shorter period of time then in january of twenty fifteen he was jailed again for six months but was soon released on bail in the following spring he was arrested once again but pardoned after one month he was then arrested last summer and handed it to year sentence after a trial last month will each time he has been accused of disseminating false

information about the state and also its allies they include speaking a story spreading fake news about the saudi led coalition's involvement in the conflict in yemen and for insulting and undermining the prestigious of bahrain the bahrain center for human rights is currently appealing for a jobs immediate release and for the charges to be dropped when we spoke to the senior advocate for the bahrain center for human rights and she said bahrain doesn't respect free speech or international law. has been hearing through the court heard this morning and we are waiting for the court to release a decision we fear that he would be sentenced four more years we are called into the bar he can be charged for more than fifteen years behind the government has not displayed any respect for international law for freedom of expression so we believe is going to be sentenced today we are very disappointed by the fact that many western states including like the close. of behaved like the u.k. and the u.s.

have not reacted appropriately. to the prosecution of number one job and so is in that tension now because no appropriate reaction has been taken by those western states as well. that's all for me for a moment i'm back here with more news at the top of the ad you get there you can follow the news on our r.t. . the war against freedom of speech continues in you guessed it r.t. again is being targeted also has russia given up on trying and anything stop the leaks in washington. local blogs show you on the idea that dropping bombs brings to the chicken hawks wars in europe by the battle of. the new socks for the tell you that every gossip
