fears in france is two hundred seventy islamist extremists returned to the country with a much vaunted effort to tackle radicalized stations floundering also this hour new video online showing the arrest of a sixteen year old german girl when she joined climbing state is fear though she risks getting the death penalty in iraq and activities for a butcher california to write in his shop with.

a good evening welcome it's just turned seven o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now around two hundred seventy islamist extremists have recently come back to france after fighting in iraq and syria some have been arrested in 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 from maine's extremely high. to rein in extremism in france had opened its first the radicalization center nearly a year ago but the facility has already hit the buffers is shot at two bensky now reports. it was billed as a front seat to its program with just modest this was the country's first radicalization center when it opened last year. was here. this is rehab for extremists once inside psychologists say it will provide

therapy and counselors will teach students about this isn't ship. i am. i overheard. 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 separate i don't think it's an intelligent move to put 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. decision should they have only been interrogated by police if they. told that evidently there wouldn't be any violent people but there would be only those quiet the early stages of friday causation. but just months later the shutters down

so what 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 tax cheats and fifty one. 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 according to people close to me putting it to me 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 for the residents say. 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 we 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 france. terrorism expert was actually consulted by the french authorities about opening. i spoke to him and he told me what went wrong. the french have historically not taken the. approach one comes to engage in what people may find or leave. us and really up until the tax and fifteen varian women to try and actually stem the tide of problem that was developed following the two thousand and fifteen attacks and parents there was a renewed interest in trying to. overcome that we needed something on

a more proactive warning and so the french government commercial small group. other countries around europe were doing when the french announced that they were going to create new centers in one manner and that he actually. i think the marine that works with him this community and is knowledgeable about it were shocked that the french one ten minutes from taking our aim to it so i don't think really a surprise to anybody other than the french government to me fare well another european country jim and you two cases of radicalization video has emerged at the moment a teenage girl who joined isis was arrested in iraq and then paraded through the streets of. a sixteen year old linda van zyl hay was seized just

a fortnight to go along with other female isom supporters and snatch she risks the death penalty with more details is our europe correspondent peter all of. this latest video that shows sixteen year old linda vents that he's originally from a small town just to the northeast of dresden in the east of germany now she's being taken away what's being 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 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 mr ideology because of a lack of identity and education this is lead to 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 of speccing questioning overheard affiliation with offenses is also the small chance that she could face the death penalty in iraq that would be for. 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 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 all of which she's found guilty certainly of of having fought for the islamic state in any capacity but lived there is just one of hundreds of germans that went off to joy in islamic state in 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 linda ventile 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 the province's governess 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 eyesore insurgents elsewhere in the country one thousand four hundred internally displaced civilians have arrived in jalalabad seeking shelter there they become victims of the taliban i saw and also u.s. airstrikes some have been describing their ordeal. islamic state groups brutally attack civilians and the afghanistan national army

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. it was a lot of water to come up you should be sure to. get it isis militants slaughtered our own call saying he was a spy who fled since they threatened to kill us the next day. islamic state militants slaughtered our five cousins some front of us they could have come and killed us any time too so we left our hold. first isis attacked our village then came american air strikes now we don't have anything everything is destroyed.

well fighting has intensified in afghanistan this year with the taliban stepping up its attacks we discussed the issue with jamal why came an 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 for the world isis. the taliban and other predators groups in afghanistan. concentration 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 american and human lives it's not easy to wipe out these groups you need to work again on the grass roots of the problem on fighting radical. islam. now the area around with his office in the german city of hand has been graffiti with hate for them racists messages taken from the social media site as part of a protest against its policies the activists behind the stern two aims to highlight that offensive posts are rarely removed from the platform plastered racist and he semitic and also homophobic comments on the pavement outside she. says he had reported three hundred hateful tweets to twitter he claims however that it failed to delete most of them after that he took the radical step of spreading them around there or face all mine responses he did receive from twitter apparently said

there was nothing in the messages that violated the site's rules we can speak now to the man himself shapiro is with us good evening t. . just tell us what you hope to achieve with this stunt. well. maybe i just want to you know talk twitter a little bit maybe give them the push in the right direction i'm just you know i'm just a guy against a big a big company. so my possibilities are limited obviously what sort of reaction have you got then from this stunt that you've played did you get a reaction from twitter themselves. no obviously not i guess but as you know as i noticed in the last months twitter is not very big on responding to things especially when it's about this subject the only response i got when we were there was you know after we sprayed everything. day someone from

the building i'm not sure if it's twitter or one of the other. offices that are there they hired someone to clean up but he cleaned up only in the front so we only cleaned up the entrance of the building while all the other hate comments were. were still there and i thought it was a it was a nice symbol to how twitter approaches things you know the they could make everything clear in front of their front of their front door and everything else is shouters two people have pointed out that what you did voicing your opinion here but it is actually vandalism it is a criminal offense why not pursue a more formal channel so you lodge your complaint. well because it's not vandalism you know it's not normal spray it's chalk spray so as soon as it rains or if you just apply water in it it's gone and if you know hamburg you know

that rain is it's raining it rains there all the time so no vendible isn't really ok so no long term lasting damage but another point other people have raises that perhaps she might have caused more offense because people would read these messages on the pavement and perhaps not knowing what you were trying to do and be offended themselves. well from the people i talked to nobody seemed to be offended i think they all got what i was trying to say but isn't it interesting that i have to spray those things on the whole street for people to actually notice them while those tweets of those tweets it's been on have been on twitter for years. let's talk about the wider issue. what should twitter do you think to prevent this because in their defense it's a huge company millions of posts get made probably every day how can you police

this. world that isn't their defense but it's also works also against them because if you think about it twitter is a huge company and they have a bunch of rich resources and i think considering how much how many resources they actually have i feel like they're not doing everything in their power to stop this problem which is the big problem now i'm not sure if for instance if only the leading stuff like that is the right solution but i think you know just leaving them there not caring about the people reported i think that can't be the right solution germany in fact has a little coming into force i understand which will find people if they make hateful remarks do you think that will go some way to solving the problem. while the law i think it's going to. it's going to start in october. so

the law forces companies like twitter and facebook to delete those kind of comments after twenty four hours or to at least process them what our visit i mean they still have two months but i can't see them achieving that from what i saw and i did you know i did expend my research to facebook to you and the results were different so facebook the managed to delete from one hundred fifty eight comments that i reported they deleted eighty percent and they did it very quickly i have to say that's my own experience obviously but it took them one to three days just briefly why do you think we see so much hate on social media. it's very simple i think you know when you write something and you can't see what your word stuti the person you know you say something mean to other people normally you need other

people to see their reaction under faces but if you just write it towards the internet you have no idea how much effect your words can have i think that is the problem and that's why it's very easy to be mean on the internet you know when you're anonymous and on twitter. good to talk to you tonight thanks for coming on that was your hack she appeared and activist thank you. still to come this hour the u.n. has condemned the latest strike in war ravaged yemen where it says the rules of armed conflict are actually being ignored we'll have more story perseveres take after the break. oh there are already. more.

public. when the closest to protect them so. see. you. again the united nations the strongly condemned the latest air strike in yemen

which killed at least twelve people and injured ten others on saturday is thought of 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 and failing to distinguish between them and the fight is 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 it would have warning you might find some of the images upsetting the airstrike hit a civilian area inside a province a stronghold. the rebels in yemen children were among those who were killed it has been repeatedly targeted by air bombardment since the very start of the conflict riyadh's coalition no denies it was responsible saying they do not target civilians meanwhile the u.k. remains one of saudi arabia's main arms partners just recently has agreed a new deal with the gulf state for weapons worth almost three hundred million

pounds in total the u.k. has sold three billion pounds worth of arms to riyadh since the beginning of the war in twenty fifteen and that's despite the growing evidence that they are being used against civilians currently the gulf state has twice as many british made planes as the u.k. royal air force itself british officials deny though that humanitarian law is being violated in say the 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 globally we are doing. 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. and middle eastern affairs analyst abdel bari atwan says that britain should stop selling saudi selling sorry to saudi arabia to prevent

more civilian deaths the saudi warplanes are bombing with parties there are bombing funerals schools hospitals open barket so i believe they are really responsible for the miserable situation over at least twenty five million year many believe britain by supplying the saudi with a munitions armament i believe they are participating in all festivity crime wars in the poorest country in the whole of the middle east i think this is the time to put an end to this war and to put to put them into any supply toward the saudi government with arms and munitions. 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 vegan activist

rallied outside for months carrying out gruesome stunts. in the backyard i know it. and that is hardly. something that. as well as forcing the owner to display the sign in the shop demonstrators from the group direct actions everywhere demanding it becomes. of butchery alone it is unclear what that means they also want the right to carry out animal rights demonstrations their twice a year to shop and almost more like a rocky night and her husband the family there says it's their rights that are being abused monica describes the activists is extremists carrying out ethical extortion the league an activist group spokes person explained their message we know that we are on the side of of justice we are on the side of compassion and nonviolence we know that the people don't actually want to support violence towards

animals and it's only because we live in a society that it 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 defect banning meat 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 stunts to be prepared though even though a lot of eighty's faked up they are pretty extreme and graphic.

american comedian mark klein says that they can activists tend to attack small businesses because they do fear the consequences of targeting bigger me telling 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 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 then a big farm or a big factory if they chose mcdonald's there's a chance that mcdonald's lawyers may get involved and ultimately people are their 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 i'm outside the news looks so far today

here in r.t. he will be back with more in half an. social environment you're right. chemical discoveries over the last century made every day life easier but at what cost this is cereal is exceptionally sick. no wonder it's confidential. says says three years old industrial giants reap the benefit ignoring the caused by chemical production. you know as if these people aren't just experimental animals decades later the toxic environment continues to poison lives and we found these astronomically high levels of dioxin

levels that my staff think maybe some of the highest levels ever found in the united states for almost thirty years this very serious problem had not actually been addressed what will that investigation into the chemical industry secrets revealed. this was part of. the earth or. a batch or sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i

secretly promised to never be. like it said one does not need a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one like to use a speech because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. this think on the lingo which of. what you're says you should be in for showbiz or up at the moment. just to let. me just go out of the media. it by their own. it will be myself with thing you know let them yes the gist of what they will get.
