in paris attacks that killed and injured need five hundred people traveled through at least nine european states before the attack he was on terror watch lists and they eventually found him in belgium often it's been the case that the powers that the. authorities already had were being used but notwithstanding that they then introduced the authorities of the government's new legislation giving new powers to the police and security services notwithstanding that it wasn't any lack 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 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 kind of in the back of

anything of the sort look at the truth behind the labels is what we're trying to promote so this was about trying to compel people to be able to speak up to be able to have again you know on this discussion civil discourse with people maybe you disagree with we're trying to promote the right way to have these kinds of discussions because it's not working the way it's been going for the last few years identity politics people have become so simplistic that if you don't fit into this category that they like if you're not with them then you're automatically the enemy today's world if you aren't on the far left you are seen as a nazi. violent clashes erupted in berlin on sunday when anti fascist activists confronted a neo nazi march. with. europe's ultra right groups gathered there to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the death of hitler's top page when rudolf hess was

to release the report now finished unfinished we'll see 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 wahabi state spy terrorists the longer saudi arabia's complicity is hidden from sunlight the longer terrorism will continue. the reason for the police rejection letter from the u.k. home office was the amount of past thought and classified information involved in the report this resonates with the prime minister's initial 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 problem 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
4:18 am
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 families of the nine eleven victims sued saudi arabia it's over reports of links between saudi government officials and the hijackers declassified pages of the choir a report later confirmed those links with congress then approving a bill that allowed families to take legal action against the gulf kingdom. saudi arabia repeatedly denied any involvement in the nine eleven attacks eagleson lost his father in the tragedy he says the fact the u.k.
4:19 am
report is being kept secret shows the opposite. it's very clear to us that all of 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 or they do not want to interrupt this report that we're requesting to be released it 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 as it stands right now we are going to court and the united states and we hope the court is really the only way that we think that the truth will prevail it's 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 all we need to be shared. in this report will be that.

tensions remain high on the korean peninsula as the u.s. and south korea have started large scale joint war exercises it comes amid continuing anger from pyongyang prior to the drills north korea threatening merciless strike and also warned washington of the risk of uncontrollable nuclear war of the annual show force will last for around ten days and simulate a military conflict with an isolated country killing young says the drills practice and invasion u.s. though maintains their defensive in nature this year more than seventeen thousand american troops are taking part in the drills which involve land sea and air exercises along with computer simulations the spike two of the key mediators in the north korean crisis russia and china proposing a halt to the games in exchange for a freeze of pyongyang's missile tests roguery at its from the korea policy institute believes the exercises are a provocation but these are mainly current puter relations for the physical
4:21 am
exercise of however one of the three waiting for simulating war with north korea for the third. vocative. step in itself right on north korea to store stuff the united states. idea of diplomacy is to apply or threats and pressure and more pressure that's not the plan with you at all so this fits in the pattern of feel that threats haven't worked in north korea therefore more threats that are needed backwards way of thinking now the military exercises come off north korea said it would all go off on strikes handing the next move to washington let's remind you of how the recent crisis between pyongyang and washington unfolded.
4:22 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 she is attacked south korean and minute she'll naval targets honestly if it is attacked american
4:23 am
forces i mean there would be retaliation again you should ever think of this 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 wall i mean it would have to be crazy to do so and actually is not at all crazy. i was radio authorities have raised 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 suspects parents and three brothers have been detained as well managed to speak to the uncle of the alleged terrorist. but didn't get a lot of bad luck and i won last night's about two am we woke up and told the bulldozers are heading away to demolish our house we got dressed and about ten
4:24 am
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 like. a demolition is a widely used punitive measure by israel in retaliation for acts of terror committed by palestinians since twenty fifteen alone the practice has resulted in deaths of displacement rather of a hundred fifty people including sixty five children human rights watch has repeatedly said destroying family homes violates international law no demolitions have been taken against jewish people who carried out terror attacks palestinian activists told us it's a form of collective punishment before doing anything even conducting. investigation there demolish the homes. clearly here is that. using the law actually they are functioning outside the bounds of proper law demolishing people's
4:25 am
houses and families houses is the worst form of collective punishment but more than that israel and israeli army practice is this collective punishment is also discriminatory in the sense that when an israeli jewish person commits an attack on palestinians including for instance burdening the list and like has happened to the young. man from a young boy from kabul who their family nothing is done to their family nor act of punishment like that like demolishing their house to explain why you have two systems of laws for two people living in the same area one law for the israeli jewish people and the other low for palestinians and that is called an international law a system of apartheid and racial discrimination this is an official israeli policy which is routinely implemented what you can see now on the screen is
4:26 am
a statement by the israeli defense forces with regard to an earlier case which clearly illustrates the official starts the statement says acts of demolitions send a sharp and clear message that all those seeking to harm israeli citizens and security forces. good intentions without proper knowledge behind them sometimes you'll get embarrassing results and that's exactly what's happened with the new road safety campaign by transport.
4:27 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 mostly women coming over shapes sizes different types of nationalities different backgrounds of different ethnicities the company itself though one tank was misguided on the fact that so many people would have looked at this come pay and find the one that before they went out makes me think that perhaps time pope from london they they perhaps need to training. radio host sean gaunt believe such campaigns as she was the exact opposite of what they were supposed to do this is just a move 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
4:28 am
look these children didn't have to be identified by their religious political correctness shouldn't have come into play you gave it to it shouldn't just be about road safety but it's typical of people in government to the local councils to act in their swipe and this kind of madness is called a pulitzer prize ation this kind of treading on eggshells around ethnic called religious minorities needs to stop. you can get more or any of our stories on our website or of course on all social media i'll be back with more headlines from around the world. are already right.
4:29 am
here's what people have been saying about redacted in fact it is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than two thousand. and see people you never heard of love back to the night my president of the world bank so they. sent us an e-mail.
