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 while it remains a possibility doing in 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 say 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. in syria suffered another significant blow off to its convoy was hit by the russian air force says the ministry of defense the air strike result in multiple vehicles

been confirmed so far headlines about right wing extremism in the ranks of german armed forces have been plaguing its military with some reports suggesting more than twenty five hundred cases have been registered in germany and a necessary distraction to the many threats it's facing as of now sherry as problem is. most of the digital military is not really a threat and the more. of course are the military this is the model that is not excepted by the majority of people of your country when you were in the military and you are. expected by your friends. because you're going to take my last three approaches you are not really into this and you don't get the best people so they're going to tear it you see the military and it really has a crisis that's. all that it is simply in the. if

you haven't read the libertarian reverted to three courses you have a lot of mistakes and there are a lot of the mistakes that happened. british prime minister to resign may has rejected an appeal by survivors and families of the nine eleven attack victims they were demanding the publication of a u.k. report into the role of saudi arabia in funding islamic extremism we respectfully urge you to release the report now finished or unfinished we lost you to consider all the victims of state sponsored saudi finance terrorism their families in the survivors in the u.k. and all over the world the u.k. now has the unique historic opportunity to stop this killing spree of one harvest inspired terrorists the longer saudi arabia's complicity is hidden from sunlight the longer terrorism will continue now the reason for the pleas rejection side of her letter from the u.k.
3:11 am
home office was the amount of passed on classified information involved in the report is so resonates with the prime ministers and michelle position when she was pressured on the matter by the opposition in parliament. last week the prime minister refused to make public a report on the foreign funding of extremists in the u.k. despite pressure from all sides of this house and beyond the survivors of nine eleven last night also urging her to make this report available who she explained at 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 in two thousand and two the us congress began its inquiry into the nine eleven attacks two years later the
3:12 am
families of nine eleven victims sued saudi arabia over reports of links between saudi government officials and the hijackers declassified pages of the inquiry report later confirmed those links with congress that approving a bill that allowed families to take legal action against the gulf kingdom. of saudi arabia in turn has denied any involvement in those attacks brought 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 us and 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 stands right now we're going to court and court
3:13 am
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 be shed on their resume and this report will do that. the tensions on the korean peninsula the south korea and the u.s. drills on not just this break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. but you'd like to be prosperous like the before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters among all. this shit.
3:14 am
in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected a businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. welcome back to the program tensions remain high on the korean peninsula as the
3:15 am
u.s. and south korea have started large scale joint war games this comes amid continuing anger from pyongyang prior to the drills north korea threatened a merciless strike and washington of the risk of uncontrollable nuclear war the annual show of force will last for around ten days it will simulate a military conflict with an isolated country join gangs say the drills practice and invasion while the u.s. maintains their defensive in nature this year over seventeen thousand american troops are taking part in 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 are proposing a halt to the war games in exchange for a freeze of pyongyang's missile tests greg realit from the korea policy institute believes the exercises are a provocation but these are mainly current puter relations road and physical exercise of however one of the simulator simulating war with north korea that's a provocative. step in the. right on north korea of the united states.
3:16 am
idea of diplomacy through prior threats and. not the former through it all through with the pairing of. threats have it work north korea there for more threats that are needed backwards way of thinking of the military exercises come off of north korea earlier said it would hold off on strikes handing the next move to washington and let's just take a look at our the recent crisis between pyongyang and washington has unfolded.
3:17 am
stand together. in the months and years ahead with the people of south korea. this is a very dangerous situation because. what has happened in the past when north korea has actually attacked. it has always been that it 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 the
3:18 am
declared intention to use what could be a nuclear armed. 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 nuclear war 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 the strait of malaka located between malaysia and indonesia as a result of an accident five navy sailors are injured and another ten i'm missing a search and rescue operation is currently under way in the wake of the collision at sea president trump has posted a tweet saying all thoughts and prayers are now with the crew members this is a second similar accident in the last three months back in june a few around with a warship the u.s.s. fitzgerald collided with a merchant vessel off the coast of japan seven sailors were killed in the incident
3:19 am
and three more injured. 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 reportedly stabbed and killed three israelis last month according to locals the suspect's father mother and three brothers have been detained as well we wanted to speak to the uncle of the alleged terrorist. 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 nothing. demolition is widely used punitive measure by israel in retaliation for acts of terror committed by palestinians since twenty fifteen alone the practice has resulted in the
3:20 am
displacement of one hundred forty nine people that includes sixty five children human rights watch has repeatedly said destroying family homes violates international law no demolitions ever have been taken against jewish people who carried out terror attacks our palestinian activist told us it's a form of collective punishment. before doing anything or even conducting the investigation they demolish the homes clearly here israel is using no law actually they are functioning outside the ranks of proper law demolishing people's houses and families houses is the worst form of collective punishment but more than that israel and 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 a list and like has happened today on. man from
3:21 am
a young boy from kabul for 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 jewish people and another 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 he'll don't bear acing results and that's exactly what happened with the new road safety campaign by transport for london.
3:22 am
no all of us were headscarves i don't wear a headscarf and i know many people many of the people who don't that is not a function on who we are as muslims muslim women come in all shapes forms and sizes from all different types of nationalities different backgrounds different ethnicities the company itself though wasn't trying to me it was misguided on the fact that so many people would have looked at this company and signed off on it before she went when tao makes me think that perhaps transport for london they they perhaps need more diversity training. radio host john gaunt believes such campaigns receive the exact opposite of what they were supposed to do. this is just a classic example of politicians desperately trying to appease the muslim minority and it backfired spectacularly because not only has it been
3:23 am
a waste of two million pound issue so upset sections of the community look these children didn't have to be identified by their religion who couldn't miss shouldn't come into play you gave it to issue just about road safety but it's typical of people in the local councils to act in this way and this kind of madness is called a size ation this kind of treading on eggshells around ethnic religious minorities needs to spill. all around up from me for now we'll be back with more headlines were on the wall then off now meantime of course all stories on or off social media .
3:24 am
seem wrong. to me but yet to shape out these days become active. and engaged because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. lemme warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they believe the new socks credit tell you that what we gossip and tabloid bias files a little one day. telling you are not cool enough and that's why their lives all the hawks that we along with our audience
