the. suspects under the age of eighteen face tera charges in two european countries as ever younger people become radicalized. and there are fears of possible islamic state terror attacks during the upcoming holiday season european authorities the focus security trying creatively not to spoil the christmas new. year if you. can answer it doesn't mean any. protests outside the european commission as the e.u. vote to renew its approval for a controversial weed killer produced by monsanto that allegedly causes cancer.

and kurdish forces say they are ready to join the syrian army if they are rewarded with the federal state house office suggestions the u.s. could cut its military support for the kurds. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from the russian capital and they care and good to have you with us this hour. now islamic states may be losing its hold over iraq and syria but it still inspiring europeans to carry out attacks at home and ever younger ones at that two of the most recent cases involve suspect under the age of eighteen well because live to our correspondent in london now more details laura smith good to see you laura now it looks like einstein is winning over ever

younger hearts and minds what more can you tell us. there are two stories in the european media on tuesday which show just that younger minds are falling victim to radicalization the first one is over in denmark a danish girl a muslim convert to was convicted of planning to bomb to copenhagen schools police found bomb making equipment in her home and they also found writings expressing sympathy for islamic state she's seventeen now she was just fifteen when she was arrested for these plans police say that evidence indicated that she planned to bomb her own form a primary school as well as a nearby jewish school the high court recently extended her sentence from six to eight years in the view they said of her age and the nature of the crimes that she was planning another one is a bit closer to home

a seventeen year old boy in wales found guilty of planning to ram a car into a crowd in the city of cardiff he apparently had several venues for this attack under consideration one of which was a shopping center another was a justin bieber concert so reminiscent of the teen concert that we saw attacked in manchester earlier this year in his bedroom they found martyrdom in which he said that he was a soldier of the islamic state also a large knife and a hammer in a bind police say that he was planning an attack similar to the westminster attack in which a man in a van rammed a crowd on westminster bridge and then got out and stabbed a police officer he posted i still propaganda on instagram and his instagram password believe it or not was truck attack now this comes at the end of a year of terror in the u.k. which has seen a number of attacks including a failed attack on an underground station in parsons green it turns out that

four of the seven people arrested in. connection with that attack was under the age of twenty five and the person who is ultimately being charged is just eighteen here is some of the other attacks that we've seen here in the u.k. . of course not of not all of those attacks were committed by youngsters but we do see a trend emerging one hundred seventeen people under the age of twenty five arrested for terror offenses in the year up to the end of june two thousand and seventeen

hauffe of those were in the seventeen to twenty age bracket and the all the hoff was slightly older twenty to twenty five some of those arrests of course didn't lead to charges but home office statistics do show a rise in the number of young people being convicted of terror offenses ok with the details that is laura smith thanks for that laura now amid rising fears of a growing terrorist threat in europe an almost picture has spread online of an islamic state finds a holding a knife with a caption soon on your holidays written in english french and german guest told us messages like these show that i sill is on the back foot. we have witnessed the use of media by terrorists in order to. prove their presence and to prove their higher. their foes and that's why i

believe based on these two reports these precautions were taken by western governments fighting terror. directed against civilians it's a very hard task because. actually the terrorists are getting. a soft part of. the society these terrorists know where the well nor government. ensure the safety and security for each and every individual and they know that by targeting civilians dickens' perc panic so the fight against terrorism i believe that it's a long struggle it's a multilevel struggle with less than a month to go until christmas european cities are starting to dress up for the festive occasion that's all thought i sees have come up with a creative way to maintain heightened security without spreading panic has probably

poincare explains. festive trees aren't the only thing being installed in the run up to christmas on the streets of britain you're likely to see decorations christmas markets and an extra dose of concrete new security measures being put in place at festive markets across the country and steel barriers like these around london's winter wonderland are intended to protect pedestrians from ice still style truck attacks for anyone put off by all the steel and concrete this could be the answer or thirty's in the city of whole have come up with this novel way of dressing up their anti terror crash barriers london's metropolitan police have said that this year the public may see additional protective measures and security checks at festival vents around the capital and it's not just rings of steel and concrete permanent bollards like these have become common place they prevent cars

and trucks from entering pedestrians those you feel a bit more sorry for seeing the police knowing that they were top of it ok so the extra security visibly makes you feel better from a different way you know we just expect small security everywhere now is it because that's just fortunately the way of the world. after the deadly terror attacks this year many in the u.k. are feeling vulnerable last week a security alert at london's oxford circus tube station triggered mass panic. nine people were injured when crowds ran to escape what they believed to be gunshots after a security lockdown the incident turned out to be a false alarm as well as an illustration of just how nervous many a feeling this festive season. and it's

not just in britain but all across europe or thora these are seeking to secure locals and tourists visiting christmas markets concrete blocks have been installed in berlin munich budapest and other cities. kurdish forces fighting in syria say that they quote have no problem joining the government army if they're allowed to form a federal state in the north of the country the statement comes after turkey claims that the us president had promised to stop arming kurdish forces however there's apparently no clear position in the white house on the matter once we started winning the campaign against isis plan and part of the process is to always wind down support for certain groups now that we're continuing to crush the physical caliphate that we're in a position to stop providing military equipment to certain groups. kurdish forces have been successfully fighting islamic state in northern syria you can see who

controls what areas on this map the u.s. has long been providing the kurds with military equipment something there's been irritating washington's nato ally turkey as artie's of explains. is the problem obsess you can't ride two horses with one back side makes sense right unfortunately it doesn't stop people from trying to support turkey in the first fight against terror and terror groups like isis and the p.k. k. the president authorized the department offense to acquit kurdish elements of the syrian democratic forces we should be using we should be doing whatever the reason is it is not something that is acceptable for our friends and nato ally turkey is an ally obviously a strong partner certainly over the specter and friends here's how it is to us allies the turks and the syrian kurds as sworn enemies washington has on the kurds

to the teeth saying they need these weapons to fight the jihad ists and turkey sort of understood since when do you need to cooperate with one terrorist organization to fight another terrorist organization it's not the way a serious state should behave and it does not suit the united states so what next does the u.s. abandon one of its most trustworthy partners try to take back those guns the kurds are stupid they can play that game too there is no problem for us forces to join the syrian army if when you syrian constitution is drafted on a federal basis and the rights of all syrian parties are reserved this is a two pronged approach it's a warning to the u.s. we can dump you before you dump us and the message to ash that give us what we want autonomy and we won't need the americans now we need as

a kurd i can say that our people want to build a syria. that no force or ethnic group dominates in any other group i believe it is in the interests of the kurds as the second largest ethnic group to build on. federal service with the interests of the kurdish people would be in trying to. allowing kurds to participate in parliament and join the army and all the state institutions. a new constitution for syria is on the horizon russia iran and turkey backing the initiative but what the kurds get out of it is still up for debate. the us has never viewed the syrian democratic forces as partners unfortunately the us has only been using them to fight i saw him destroy iraq or i believe the alliance between the us and forces on the ground including the syrian kurdish groups in iraq has never been a true partnership the us provided assistance and weapons for self-defense purposes

and for combating eisel but these agreements have never been linked to military action so. which leaves us with the us and its two horses the trade the turks a valuable nato ally or betray the kurds in syria alternatively wait for them to betray the state well it was the turkish foreign minister who said that donald trump had promised president to want to cut military aid to the kurds when asked the u.s. led coalition about the issue and this is the response we received the coalition says it's committed to providing the syrian democratic forces the support they need in order to defeat islamic state one author and analyst in nicholas davies there is washington's pronouncements on the issue of arming the kurds shouldn't be taken at face value. i think we have to wait wait and see exactly what this means but at the same time we should be very conscious that most of the

arming of rebel groups in syria by the u.s. and its allies were was done covertly so whatever they are saying publicly is not necessarily the whole story there's a lot of holes in that story that a big enough to drive. you know ships planes and trucks loaded with weapons through . the european union has extended its approval for a controversial weed killer produced by the u.s. agricultural giant monsanto germany and poland were among the eighteen states who voted in favor of it as well france and italy were among the nine against with portugal abstaining the move was met with protests in front of the european commission depicting the struggle its president supposedly faces. it leaves have. cancer it doesn't mean anything

for you. the. third year of all it doesn't matter. today we're standing here hoping to get a message through to the commission to young specifically that democracy is standing behind a ban on privacy they can either choose to stand behind monsanto and what is it or they can stand on the side of citizens opinion polling has been clear those that sign that you see i have been clear we want a ban on going to see that is where democracy guys have a choice now the chemical in question and life to say it is found in the world's most popular weed killer here's how its inventor and man produced among some to describe it in his promotional videos. but what about their main active ingredient life estate is it harmful how does it work in addition to the u.s. e.p.a.

regulatory agencies and more than one hundred sixty countries have approved places a place products places it is applied to bleach once absorbed it travels to the roots or blocks a specific enzyme found in plants not animals or humans. however concerns over the chemicals impact on humans were raised by the world health organizations council watchdog which said it could probably cause the deadly disease and these concerns fueled the debate that preceded the e.u. those. very concerned that this process is scientifically flawed there was sufficient evidence of cancer in animals and there were strong evidence for mechanisms that we know to be associated with carcinogens garble hair lack of dry cleaning products burnt toast cold all issues which would be carcinogenic working night shifts cutting human hair sitting in front of a log far and eating processed meat if we are going to bend life to sate on the

strength of its carcinogenic risk don't you agree we have to ban these things as well for it for a figure eight smoking for example i'm telling you it's a hazard i'm not going to tell you how many cigarettes you must smoke in order to get cancer and i can confidently tell you that the story of the company's top selling chemical gleick to sate is not one of truth but one of deceit carefully calculated and choreographed deceit well some member of the european parliament from greece a country that voted against the weed killer is approval why the force. for who might be in this basically flooded with. your local saddler's good to be bull by the by you or the big pharmaceutical and jimmy. was able to call. it what it was the big brother will say though it is true the days are still ahead for the people that are going to. be viewed with. those

comments generated from the edge they're going to look you should be if you are but may still be decent revision which careful with people of the farmers as one of the goals humorous of the brother it's that will be made with the user who. is going to be dealing with a government. well the number of u.s. soldiers in syria and iraq is around four times higher than the official figures else according to a new report which bring you more on that off the soap break stay with us. what politicians do sometimes. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to press. you to go on to be press was like before three in the morning people. i'm

interested always in the waters about how. to. apply for many flips over the years so i know the game inside guides. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you know a loan to spend spending to get to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great simple bowl chance with. the base is going to.

welcome back now the u.s. could have more forces in syria and iraq than its admits last according to data provided by the us defense manpower data center its latest report suggests there are almost two thousand u.s. soldiers in syria while the official figure is just over five hundred and for iraq the number provided by the manpower data center is more than three thousand higher than the pentagon's. however the pentagon itself says the numbers provided in the report were initial estimates for syria and iraq including short term deployments and the rotation of troops were asked to al monitor contributions and a middle east analyst early risk why the pensacola power in me wants to give the impression it has fewer troops than it might really have in the region. the american public is exhausted it's against any increase in troop presence and so i think that the pentagon is very intent on keeping this message that it has

a low level of troop presence in order not to not to lead to an outburst or an outcry from the american public which as i said is very war weary and would be very much for the very much object to submit increased american presence it wouldn't be the first time the u.s. has been unclear about its chip numbers in iraq and syria would it let's just remind ourselves of the previous sound bite we have. approximately. fifty thousand syrian or five thousand i'm sorry subverts i think it's all over four thousand u.s. troops in syria right now that are supporting efforts in. against. supporting the i think it's mostly related to the american public and the fact that it's exhausted with these wars and at the same time we do have generals a lot of generals who want to increase or who want to maybe would be more prone to

pursuing military solutions were having a military build up in the foreign countries. the u.s. and south korea will be conducting a major joint military exercise near the north korean border next week russia has voiced concerns over the drills which will involve around twelve thousand american troops it is in seoul with the latest on the tensions what has been donald trump's approach to sorting out the north korea crisis in a nutshell all options remain on the table second option not a preferred option they will be met with fire fury do not underestimate us and do not try this the distance from here to the border with. north korea is only about forty kilometers and once you end up in seoul which is well in the firing range of kim's artillery you can't help looking

at that rhetoric from a different perspective especially if there is what you'd call a totally different approach. there's absolutely no alternative to dialogue but in order to start a dialogue everyone has to stop take a deep breath and a step back from the red line which will. so why can we hope that the only option according to moscow will prevail well the south korean capital is hosting a russian valdai discussion club conference where local officials and experts have gathered to hear what the russian diplomats and researchers have come up with so russia's been saying hey we've got a plan step one north korea should completely halt its missile and nuclear tests for the u.s. that means and ends to almost nonstop war games with seoul moscow calls it a double freeze step two might be very tough direct talks between washington and pyongyang on rules of peaceful coexistence and finally they should lead to step

three establishing a security framework for the entire region with every player involved. doors are closed for the main session and one of the south korean officials who is taking part is the president's advisor for foreign policy. what do you think about the russian road map i think that the proposal is very realistic flexible i hope. on your cage in the pentagon winter olympic all the parties concerned between particularly between nelson selves who do come up with the most at risk westray behavior of the think it's enough in this case of course not enough in the day should be some new initiative to create and sustain peacefully impatient donald trump keeps saying that all options are on the table north korean knew that in the military option egypt always under the table. by putting the military option and.

under the table. it's not likely changing north korean behavior as the advisor of the south korean president what do you tell them about the drills you know you personally in a favor in gauge human dialogue and negotiation with north korea and some people in the government may have different ideas that brings us to why the russian road map may never actually work. because i think most korean politicians believe the trails must be pursued trod the fence so now we're not canceling u.s. korean exercises we just want to postpone for the olympics. others openly reject moscow's plan like the neighbors in tokyo who simply can't imagine security without the drills with their allies so for now south koreans have no other choice but to welcome us raptors in co for the vigilance ace war games oh that's just

a few days anyway for those who live in saw or who are here to talk about keeping the peace in korea there's something to bear in mind. for war games or real strikes that would put millions of lives at risk the decision to send let's say warplanes to the korean skies may depend on one single man miles and miles away on the other side of the pacific literals in south korea will be going ahead despite a low in military activity from the north the regime has conducted no miss silo a nuclear bomb tests in september we heard from eric certs can from the national campaign to end the korean war. at a time in which there is this standoff and this misunderstanding and lack of communication creates a very volatile situation it may be seem somehow as intimidating but these have never worked the proposal that anyone who cares about peace in the region is

putting forth right now is that these military options are not realistic and you need to sit down at the table and when they do those exercises something could be mistaken as invasion something could be mistaken as live attacks and such and so we put the millions and millions of people in the sole area in south korea in japan and other places at risk this seems like folly and foolishness when we have such a volatile situation join me again for the latest headlines in about thirty minutes .

time. hey everybody i'm stephen bob. taft hollywood guy suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. and to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru is
