it would. suspect under the age of eighteen faced terror charges in two european countries as a younger people become radicalized. amid fears of possible terror attacks during the upcoming holiday season the european authorities use discretion when it comes to be think up security. and there could be more american soldiers in syria and iraq that officially claimed last according to new findings read us exactly. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from moscow and he aaron now islamic states

may be losing its hold over iraq and syria but it's still inspiring europeans and every younger ones at that to carry out attacks at home a danish court has extended the sentence of a teenage girl who'd been planning bomb attacks in the country on monday she was given eight years after initially being sentenced to six the girl who has not been named was fifteen when she was arrested near copenhagen in january last year her family alerted police after becoming suspicious about chemicals they'd seen in the basement of their home during a search police found bomb making ingredients and notes expressing sympathy with so-called islamic state evidence indicated she had planned to attack her former primary school and a jewish school in a statement to the court revealed that since being jailed the girl had stopped a teacher with a broken mirror as laura smith explains there's been a growth of radicalized youngsters in europe. seventeen year old boy in wales

found guilty of planning to ram a car into a crowd in the city of college if 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 told the teen that we saw attacked in manchester earlier this year. in his bedroom they found martyrdom in which he said he was a soldier of the islamic state also a large knife and how much in a bind police say that he was planning an attack similar to the westminster attack in which a man in a van ronk a crowd of westminster bridge and then got out and stabbed a police officer. he posted i still propaganda on instagram and his instagram posts were believe it or

not it 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 the full of the seven people arrested in connection with that attack were under the age of twenty five in the person who is ultimately being charged is just eighteen 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 rested 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 other half was slightly older twenty to twenty five some of those arrests of course didn't lead to charges but home office desisted show a rise in the number of young people being convicted of terror offenses. with less

than a month to go into a christmas the cities across europe are getting into the festive swing but with the terror threat of terror high they come up with a way to maintain security without spoiling the atmosphere as the details. 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 pedestrian zones and you feel a bit more cypher 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 more security everywhere now is just 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. r.t. london. throughout europe measures have been taken to secure christmas markets concrete blocks have been installed in berlin munich budapest and a number of other cities. meanwhile the pictures spread online of an islamic state five brandishing a knife with the caption soon on your holidays which in english french and german we spoke to political commentator graham or he believes that if a terrorist is determined to carry out an attack i think barry is one to help bridge the situation in europe with while still flooding. into this country he called me to protect i say anyone who is determined whether it be a thief in annoy someone stayed in a mother so i call whatever it is you have someone is determined to carry out

a criminal acts and we must remember all the times terrorism is the ultimate crime the old a crime is murder it goes against the christian faith and terrorism is a crime it's the mind thing you know it's remember what were the size of a bunch of clothes. thinking on the sidelines here there are barriers that all of these things but final determined to cure you there curio done it doesn't modo but what you know it's now you sit back and enjoy christmas what i want is you to be in free our old christmas tradition. that is cheap fighting in syria have said that have no problem joining government forces if they're allowed to form a federal state in the north of the country the statement comes after turkey

claimed donald trump promised to stop arming kurdish forces however there's apparently no clear position on the matter in the white house once we started winning the campaign against isis plan and part of the process is to always wind down support for certain groups and 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 this is irritated washington's key nato ally so ok mark gatiss you have explains. as the probably says 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. 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 our forces to join the syrian army if a new 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 sad give us what we want autonomy and we won't need the americans now you need and as a kurd i can say that our people want to build a syria in syria with no force or ethnic group dominating any other group i believe it is in the interests of the kurds as the second largest ethnic group in syria to build multifunction. federal service with the interests of the kurdish people would be in showing. 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 america the us has never viewed the syrian democratic forces as partners unfortunately the u.s. 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 s.d.f. in syria and 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. which leaves us with the us and its two horses betray the turks a valuable nato ally or betray the kurds their ace in syria alternatively wait for them to betray the states it was the turkish foreign minister who said donald trump and promised to cut military aid to the kurds we 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 with the support they need in order to defeat islamic state analyst nicholas davies believes washington's was 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 and syria by the u.s. and its allies what 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. ships planes and trucks loaded with weapons through. well the u.s. could have more forces in syria and iraq than it did mix that's according to findings by the think tank the u.s.

defense manpower data center now it's close live to artie's they have more pain from you for more details on this camp good to see what can you tell us well the new report indicates that the united states has roughly two thousand troops in syria at this time while officially the pentagon is only acknowledge the presence of about five hundred others a similar discrepancy when it comes to iraq the numbers provided by this reporter about three thousand higher than the numbers provided by the pentagon now in response the pentagon has said that the numbers they provided was only based on estimates this is the pentagon's response to the discrepancy between the think tank report and their own numbers the d.m. d.c. numbers not the official deployment count the numbers that we provided the approach the five hundred in syria and approximately five thousand in iraq is the official deployment count. now at this point the united states is in syria

has a military presence there courting to the report its more than two thousand troops but they have done this without the permission of the internationally recognized syrian government at no point has the syrian arab republic given permission for the usa to enter its territory however the usa maintains a military presence there now at this point we've heard james mattis secretary of defense say that even after i sill is defeated the united states does not intend to immediately withdraw those forces that are in syria without the permission of the internationally recognized syrian government now furthermore donald trump has raised the number of u.s. troops in afghanistan at this point there are roughly fourteen thousand u.s. troops occupying afghanistan so questions are being raised it's important to point out that at this point polls continue to show the public opinion in the united states is opposed to further meddling and intervention around the world but yet the number of u.s. troops located in the middle east and other countries continues to rise.

now more than two hundred afghani families are trapped in the open desert in the east of the country people had to flee their homes running from crossfire between the taliban and so-called islamic state militants now they live in makeshift tents and that this is with winter approaching. the government and international forces to help us. we don't even have access to medical care but doing it would cost us our lives women and children are in a condition how can we live in these tents during this code when. now the agricultural giant monsanto is in the limelight again as the e.u. commission votes in favor of a food license extension for a weed killer inflict account we'll bring you the details after this break.

anyone else seems wrong. why don't we all just don't call. any. yet to shape out just to come out to. an engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. is doing an actual job is like basically it's like the euthanasia clinic tromp is the euthanasia doctor america is being euthanized and he's doing in a way worse with the least amount of pain but that's not that's not cruel i mean he's doing that as a good euthanasia just he's doing things in the cruel free way. welcome

back now that he used voted to extend the license of a controversial weed killer produced by agricultural giant monsanto despite the products being linked to cancer and other health concerns eighteen countries including germany and poland voted in favor of the license renewal france and italy were among the nine against with only portugal abstaining the decision was met with protests outside the european commission in brussels. you know i believe. that. counts terry doesn't mean a paying car you. see that third floor of the

president. today we're standing here hoping to get a message through to the commission to young just specifically that democracy is standing behind a ban on going to see its bacon 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 buys they have a choice the chemical in question life the state has been marketed as the most while the world's most widely used herbicide here's how one slanted describes it in its promotional videos but what about their main active ingredient. 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 state based products like the state is applied to leads once absorbed it travels to

the roots where blocks a specific enzyme found in plants not animals or humans gorgeously it is used mainly on food crops but also on public loans and in forestry the world health organizations council watchdog has raised concerns over the impact of this chemical on nature and humans labeling it as probably cost in the genetic the potential dangers feel debate ahead of the e.u. . 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 her lack of dry cleaning products burnt toast cold all issues which would be cost in the general. working night shifts cutting human hair sitting in front of a log far and eating processed meat if we are going to band life slate on the strength of it's carcinogenic risk don't you agree we have to ban these things as well for for 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 we also i may pay for greece one of the countries that voted against the week as approval why the e.u. was in favor fully monday and is basically fully general and you know it was sad to see good to be bullied by the bigger the big pharmaceutical and. i was able to call for see what was the big broad themselves will say though it is tied to the days are still ahead for the people there are many houses. will soon discover there is a baby those kinds generals on the edge that are going to look these are big if you are of the nation we disagree with carefully people of the farmers as well of the

goal schumer's of the brothers that will be made with the usual who. is not a big deal for the government. the u.s. and south korea will be conducting a major military exercise and have north korean border next week russia has voiced concerns over the drills which will involve around twelve thousand american soldiers as it is in seoul with the latest. 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 and 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. is absolutely no alternative to dialogue them but in order to start a dialogue everyone has to stop take a deep breath and a step 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 hold 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 too 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 asserted that afternoon what do you think about the russian road map i think that the proposal is very realistic flexible i hope it and your cage in the pentagon winter olympic all the parties concerned that between particularly between nelson selves who do come up with the most at risk westray behavior do you think it's enough in this case of course not enough in the day should be some new initiative to create and sustain recently impatient donald trump keeps saying that all options are on the table north korean

knew that in the military option it 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 are you i personally in a favor in gauge of a 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 trills must be pursued for a defense to now we're not canceling us 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 games oh that's just a few days anyway for those who live in seoul 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. the drills will be going ahead despite a lull and military activity from the know if the regime has conducted no missile silo nuclear bomb tests since september erik's or its cannon from the national campaign to end the korean war gave us his take on the situation 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. thank you for choosing aussie international so from may but hey with all the latest my colleague neil harvey will be with you at the top of the hour. thank.

you. thank god it ok. thank. you i thank. you.
