of those powers in the first place that led to the intelligence failures and it may well be that that's true here and the same applies to border controls but it remains a possibility do you may have crossed the spanish border anybody that knows that border as indeed is the case throughout very much of western europe those borders are extremely porous you can go across as a car in a car in the back of a vehicle or even walk across in some cases they see it isn't punishment itself that deters crime it's the inevitability of punishment but thanks to europe's open borders perspective terrorists can be sure no matter what they always have that chance to slip away. i still have suffered another significant blow in syria rafter it's convoy was hit by the russian air force as the ministry of defense the air strike resulted in multiple vehicles including tanks being destroyed along with i mean well more than two hundred terrorists were

if you have the bridge. the other two courses you have a lot of the sticks. a lot of the states that have. other british prime minister to resign may has rejected an appeal by survivors and families of the nine eleven attacks victims were demanding the publication of a u.k. report into the role of saudi arabia in funding islamic extremism are the reason for the police rejection so it is a letter from the u.k. home office was the amount of past classified information in the report this resonates with the prime minister's initial position on the matter. last week the prime minister refused to make public a report on the prime funding of extremists in the u.k. despite pressure from all sides of this house and beyond survivors of nine eleven
2:11 am
last night also urging her to make this report available bush explained that her refusal is simply because the contents of the report would embarrass the government's friends in saudi arabia or is it because ministers care rather more about arms sales to riyadh than they do about public safety. it is absolutely nothing to do with that there is there is certain confidential information in the reports that means that it would not be appropriate to publish it but my right under friend the home secretary has made it available on a pretty council basis to opposition parties. well in two thousand and two the us congress began its own inquiry into the nine eleven attacks two years later the families of the victims sued saudi arabia over reports of links between the saudi government officials and hijackers declassified pages of being inquiry report later confirmed those links with congress then approving a bill that allowed families to take legal action against the gulf kingdom. saudi arabia in turn has repeatedly denied any involvement in the nine eleven attacks

right eagleson lost his father in the tragedy he says the fact the u.k. report is being kept secret shows otherwise. it's very clear to all the nine eleven family members that there is a relationship that exists between our government and the u.k. government between saudi arabia that our governments do not want to inconvenience so they do not want to interrupt this report that we're requesting to be released would be a very inconvenient truth to both governments this report makes clear connections between terrorist financing and the government of saudi arabia right now we are in a legal case with saudi arabia and at stands right now we're going to court and court in the united states and we hope the court is really the only way that we think that the truth will prevail is just another small setback for us we've been facing setbacks for the past sixteen years but we don't give up we think that ultimately light needs to be shed on who they are and this report will be that.

too great to be this is what the three of them will be good. interested always in the water in the. international tension this remain high on the korean peninsula as the u.s. and south korea have started large scale joint war games and this comes amid continuing anger from pyongyang prior to the drills of course north korea threatened the months of a strike and even more washington of the risk of uncontrollable nuclear war the annual show force will last for ten days and simulate
2:15 am
a military conflict with an isolated country so young says the drills practiced an invasion while the u.s. maintains their defensive in nature this year over seventeen thousand american troops are taking part in the drills which involve land sea and air exercises along with computer simulations that's the spot two of the key mediators in the north korean crisis russia and china proposing a halt to the war games in exchange for a freeze of pyongyang's missile tests grigory at its from the korea policy institute believes the exercise is a provocation but these are mainly current puter base simulations rather than physical exercise of however one of the simulator simulating war with north korea so that's a provocative. step in itself right on north korea of course the united states. the brits. idea of diplomacy is to apply threats and pressure and more pressure and that's not the plan with you at all so this fits in the pattern of they feel that
2:16 am
threats haven't worked in north korea therefore more threats that are needed it's a backwards way of thinking. well the military exercises come off north korea earlier said it would hold off on strikes heightening the next move to washington let's take a look now how the recent crisis between purring and washington as being unfolded. stand together. in the months and years ahead with the people of south korea.
2:17 am
this is a very dangerous situation because. what has happened in the past when north korea has actually attacked. has always been that chick is attacked south korean military or naval targets honestly if it is attacked american forces i mean there would be retaliation again you should ever think of this declared intention to use what could be new. weapons as an empty threat because it is possible to use them and they have been used before i don't think that north korea wants to risk

a new wall i mean it would have to be crazy to do so and actually is not at all crazy. a u.s. guided missile destroyer has collided with an oil tanker in a strait of malacca located between malaysia and indonesia as a result of the accident five navy sailors were injured and another ten apparently missing a search and rescue operation is currently under way in the wake of the collision at sea president donald trump has posted a tweet saying all thoughts and prayers are now with the crew members this is the second similar accident in the last three months back in june this year the warship u.s.s. fitzgerald collided with a merchant vessel off the coast of japan seven sailors were killed in the incident and three more injured. are back to the middle east now where israeli authorities have raced to the ground the house belonging to the family of a palestinian terrorist who stabbed and killed three israelis last month according to locals the assailants father mother and three brothers have been detained as

well managed to speak to the uncle of the alleged attacker but didn't get a lot of bad luck and i won last night about two am we woke up and told the bulldozers are heading away to demolish our house we got dressed and about ten minutes later the only came because they started destroying the inside walls of the house with sledgehammers and then the bigger came up and started hitting the house from the front and back you seen yourself was lived. a demolition is a widely used punitive measure by israeli military operation for acts of terror committed by palestinians twenty fifteen alone in the practice has resulted in the displacement of almost one hundred fifty people that includes sixty five children human rights watch has repeatedly said destroying family homes violates international law no demolitions have ever been undertaken against jewish people who carried out terror attacks a palestinian activist told us it's a clear example of discrimination. before doing anything or even conducting.
2:20 am
the investigation they demolish the homes clearly here israel is using no law actually they are functioning outside of proper law demolishing people's houses and families houses is the worst form of collective punishment but more than that israel and the israeli army practices this collective punishment is also discriminatory in the sense that when an israeli jewish person commits an attack on palestinians including for instance burdening at a list and like has happened today on a. man from young boys from kabul who their family nothing is done to their family . nor act of punishment like that like demolishing their house to explain you have two systems of laws for two people living in the same area one law for the israeli
2:21 am
jewish people and the other low for palestinians and that is called an international law a system of apartheid and racial discrimination. good intentions without proper knowledge behind them sometimes you old pretty embarrassing results and that's exactly what happened with the new road safety campaign while transport for london . not all of us wear headscarves i don't wear a headscarf and i know many people many other people who don't that is not a function on who we are as muslims muslim women come in all shapes forms and sizes
2:22 am
from all different types of nationalities different backgrounds different ethnicities the company itself though one tank was misguided on the fact that so many people would have looked at this company and find out on it before she went when tao makes me think that perhaps transport for london they they perhaps need more diversity training. a radio host john galt believes such campaigns as the exact opposite of what they were supposed to do. this is just a more the classic example of politicians desperately trying to appease the muslim minority and it backfired spectacularly because not only has it been a waste of two million pound issue so upset large sections of the most in community look these children didn't have to be identified by the religious political correctness shouldn't have come into play here were to it should have just been about road safety but it's typical of people in government to the local councils to
2:23 am
act in this way and this kind of madness is called a pulitzer prize ation this kind of treading on eggshells around ethnic called religious minorities needs to still. ok that's all for this monday sidelines for now backing off an hour with more news from around the world you can check any of all stories for get on our team dot com so short of. here's what people have been saying about redacted and i didn't actually just pull on awesome for all of the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah because the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than boobs to. see people you've never heard of love redacted the night president of the world bank very. seriously send us an

e-mail. the next election will be in twenty twenty under you absolutely i'm not going to be calling it's not election. we are live in downing street where the prime minister is due so made a significant announcement i have just chaired
2:25 am
a meeting of the cabinet where we agreed that the government should cool a general election not a year and other election. potence accused the prime minister of breaking her word and of pursuing a cynical plan for party political advantage the polls for example showing massive leads for the conservatives much of the media and the establishment are saying this election is a foregone conclusion campaigning ahead of the u.k. general election was immediately suspended after the attack in manchester there is to be frank far too much tolerance of extremism in our country you need to look at saudi and qatar the forming of mosques in this country a number of polls in the u.k. are showing a large drop in support for prime minister theresa theresa may changes have a manifesto policy on social care after just four days but insists it's not a u. turn nothing has changed. nothing has changed the polls are once again the shifting

of leaders narrowed considerably it may come down to the scottish national party to be the kingmakers what was a sure bet from the start of the campaign is now not so obvious that it's all hopeful together although not the do what i want you to have your choice over your future. buds trying to seventeen. he's going to be a. disaster for me. this is going underground on the green outside the british parliament. makes a deal with the political group previously linked to protestant paramilitaries some argue it's like jeremy corbyn and one british prime minister in
2:27 am
a coalition with. previously linked to the ira coming up on the show. from. britain's biggest union. to. join what do you think your electoral game say about media power in britain in terms of the way we've been treated by the written press. to say the least some of the most vicious personal attacks that i've ever seen on a politician in some ways that's what you expect. from some. i think the offended number of people also went for our families as well which is unacceptable i think people have rejected that. so they've cut through all of them instead because we get legislation we get relatively balanced broadcast media coverage.
2:28 am
if i was a newspaper editor. i think in our views page after page after page for nearly six weeks of denigration. and. so maybe. reporting the news that would be helpful for the balance media restrictions of the election has happened do you expect the media to continue to. expect them to live up to the style. and is that the general public now now want which is fair fair coverage proper debate a move away from personalities the culture and policy and whatever happens you think renationalisation of monopoly utilities and the attempts to stop people having to use food banks is firmly on the political agenda manifesto for it to be extremely popular and we tested a number of individual policies and poems or other did and proved to be extremely popular i think because people felt that their parkinson of the water industry or
2:29 am
energy industries or they felt were being ripped off and that had enough of them especially thank you very much len what do you think of the bias of the b.b.c. during this campaign well i think the bias of the media spin something has been regressive including the b.b.c. and i hope that what will. this particular election as the. rejection of the negativity that the turris and the british media of try to protract surely it's time for us to get back to come across a debate where those differences i don't know how difficult it is to take knighthoods a right but i think we could be happy that he got his knighthood last time because this time he wouldn't even get a caustic lorica answer berger's just here was done by the b.b.c. trust for bias against corbin what did you think what did you think of the way for instance the b.b.c. was done by the b.b.c. child i've just told you i didn't i didn't i didn't i don't believe that. the brits .
