yes i thought that the. headlines in our team leaders agree to close to military cooperation but there are big overlaps with the french projects already being conducted by nato. concerns of extremism on the doorstep through reports exclusively from a village that is suspected of being a jihadi hotbed. when heading to the smaller ajmal force phase one of sixty five communities the possibles me it's a big it's considered to be radicalized. and u.s. police are accused of being too trigger happy with tasers this video of officers appearing to use excessive force.

but i welcome it's just one o'clock in the afternoon here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now our top story e.u. leaders have agreed to integrate their defenses into a more unified force and it means member nations will have to increase their military spending european council president donald to screw field the plan at a summit on thursday. today this dream becomes a reality we are launching permanent structures corporation so-called. which is a practical expression of our will to build europeans isco it's not only good news for us but it is also good newell's for our allies. and a bit in us if well pascoe has been nearly two decades in the making and will now united twenty five member states north includes eighteen defense projects so far a lot of them to mirror existing nato projects so let's have

a look then at some of the similarities they include train and assist missions which are common in nato operations and also include their fighting cyber attacks as well as creating crises resolution centers again something similar to what nato is doing already poland which is signed up to the pact is questioning the need for duplicate defenses we will see how this experiment works out we can always leave the pact if it's in satisfactory for poland the question is whether we really need to have a second defensive body in the u. piece campaign a poor martin does believe that even with an extra layer of defense the e.u. will still struggle to tackle one of its biggest problems violent extremism. they are now entering into agreement where they are going to have to increase their military spending at the cost of other needs pascoe does not help with the issue of violent extremism you can invest as much money as you want in tanks and airplanes

and other type of military warfare that does not solve the problem of the lone wolf or the easy violent extremists attack or investing more monies in these other type of military toys or tanks instead of investing money in the long term solutions that will help around the issues of violent extremism more you spend on the military the war after you to use that rather than diplomatic tools and other means to solve the crisis. well just beyond the border there is a village in bosnia and herzegovina which is seeing a number of radicalized fighters from returning from syria and iraq. being there to see whether the has gotten extremism hope that the mentoring on its doorstep. we're heading to the small village of australia it's one of sixty five communities

of course it's the beach is considered to be radicalized they've been dubbed shari'a villages and that's because residents practice what hobby is an ultra conservative form of islam. it looks like an ordinary sleepy village a few houses nestled between the hills not how you might imagine a cradle of terror. but the local a mom is telling me that some of the residents have joined islamic state in this when a lot of the there are people who went to syria and forth on the side of isis but we tried to stop them bosnia has been one of the main targets of islamic state propaganda a recruitment hotbed. with i still suffering dramatic losses in syria the recruits

are expected to come home some of them already did a little it's only one person now and we are distancing ourselves from him we have nothing to do with him. the fear is that us fighters come back they may not just spread of radical ideology but also in far on the stop wishing and islamic caliphate hate here in europe. remain in bosnia and herzegovina their already small caliphate existing the reason they're far from the cities and towns is it allows them to perform any covert activity they need in the fact that they're recruiting members means in the future they will be a big threat to europe the bosnian government has try to curb the terror threat by making it illegal to fight for a foreign military and more than a dozen of those who have returned from syria have been jailed well the country is

also spending millions of euros on the radicalization projects but is it all working the local a mom says he fears for his life after speaking out against those who joined eisel really with these radical elements are always unpredictable these people prayed with me they ate at the same table as me and they want to shoot me i saw this defeat in syria and iraq will most likely try its foreign fighters back home for many of them as we've just learned home means here a sleepy village in a reclusive area in the heart of europe works dream ism has already taken roots charlotte deep in ski r.t. bosnia and herzegovina. two police officers in the us city of cincinnati are accused of using excessive force after tasering suspects during a domestic dispute inquiry body cam footage of the incident that happened earlier

this year has only just surfaced a word of warning though you might find the footage disturbing. the officers confronted two men inside their house tasering them without crying because they were under arrest one of the men suffered from a collapsed lung as a result of the confrontation a complaint was filed but the county's prosecutor has prevented the officers from being interviewed or since the year two thousand in fact over a thousand people have died in the us after being stunned with tasers by police and nine out of ten were also unarmed a number of those too were suffering from mental illness concerns of police abuse of prompted now amnesty international to issue an appeal to strict a tazer rules in the us one victim who sued officers describe for us what he went through. career covered like physically but mentally i'm the. heart of think about

still even though it's been one year. jared. just repeatedly did it over and over and over and two days into it and they just kept telling me that there was not going to be a bomb on the. car from all around. the way they were laughing and. pretty

much having fun with it. that they were going to try and kill me. well we did speak with a lawyer who represented jordan or a state during his case and he says the police actions could amount to talk. i first met with jordan actually in this office and he told me what had happened and it was hard to believe frankly the question that the law asks is whether or not the use of force had a legitimate law enforcement purpose in other words was it necessary to keep this person in custody in a safe environment to use the force in question in this situation or he's already fully restrained he's being tastes anyway i didn't see any religious law enforcement reason for that force to be used and if they're using you know painful force against this young man without any reason i can't really think of a better word than torture to describe that. than

a cook in russia could see facing a hefty fine or even jail perhaps for using a tracking device to follow away with cash i. took the matter to the highest level . up to four years in prison for a simple g.p.s. tracking device attached to a cow sounds weird if not surreal but thanks to one peculiarity in russia's criminal law it's real. meat eve guinea the suspect it's. slash farmer. slash father. you know i was going to make a cola for this cough and attach a g.p.s. tracker to it so that i can see his whereabouts at least roughly when i need to see . the calf is a terrible way he just disappears every now and then. we have huge areas of abandoned farmland it's hard for me to run after him because i've asked him there

were times with this one once i spent two whole days searching for a tiny gadget that would save the day why not fetch it online for a bargain price and so you gave he did only to be met by officers at the post office the g.p.s. tracker had a built in mike which makes it an illegal spying device if there's no license technically here's your crime the result a confiscated gadget and either crippling fine or prison plus the dubious honor of being the first ever spy in the village or really in the middle of nowhere. getting in trouble like this i couldn't have imagined not even in a nightmare. if the jail him were in my daughter's future a fine would be very harsh it would really hurt our pockets so i do it's terrifying for us after a bit of research we thought it could be one of the things our t.

should bring up on thursday. as far as i know last year more than two hundred people were found guilty under the same law what can you say about that. i didn't even get the reasons for using g.p.s. for. purpose. ordered the gadget online from china because the calf would run loose it was a bit is that illegal was he obliged to pay for it there is an article in the russian criminal code under which people can be charged if. i didn't even know that such an order existed i'll definitely look into that article in the cases with those individuals it's the first time i'm hearing about problems with attaching such things to cat was i know the trackers are even put on cats to make sure they don't get lost what's the problem with couse this needs to be sorted out i'll handle it there's years of that i didn't think my problem would get publicity i hope this means that they reconsider the law because lots of people have suffered because of this when i was watching the t.v. i was nervous i hope the case is resolved in my favor and maybe we can breathe

freely by new year. so there's mr terre waste chance to be less of a trouble maker without any laws being broken earlier betrayed go r t. now here on r.t. today we are getting to meet more legends of world football past and present as stan collymore continues the countdown to the twenty eighteen world cup. which. it's not really going to. do is one of these. every generation england against knowledge and so you know what was the mood about playing against maradona all group best player in the world you were scoring goals. didn't he was it that started boy. you know south american

their backgrounds what they're grown. they fight any way they can to win anyway that's all that matters you know that that second goal when he picks pirouettes and off he goes that sort of loss and when you're on the football pitch you wear that that's a. moment i see and so ever in my career i ought to applaud i didn't just or could because you've got to realise where we've put their massive problems with the pitch and how we did what we did on that surface and the turns and twists especially the first little bit just on how i didn't just fall over as you say you had that low center of gravity need to kind of shape. really was an astonishing go i think has to be the most the best individual goal level because you've got to i mean as well the significance of the occasion the course of the game.

you can see the stand column or show a bit later today now i still to come this hour that could be hundreds of compensation claims against the british military of human rights abuses after high court victory for iraqi man will have the details after the break. hey everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy usual suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. i do suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well just a little bit different i'm not a. good one i know no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country and i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans call me and hopefully

start to bridge the gap this is the great american to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. i. again welcome back the former russian economy minister. has been found guilty of taking a multi-million dollar he's the highest profile government official to receive such a conviction correspondent across this story for us. so what exactly then he's

been found guilty of well he was arrested last november during a late night sting operation where he accepted a two million dollars bribe from the c.e.o. of rosneft state owned oil company here and russia and according to the court he demanded that some in exchange for his ministries approval of a deal to the sale of another major oil company to raw snuff he also apparently promised to impede that agreement if he was denied this bribe he's pleaded not guilty from the beginning maintaining his innocence thing that night during the sting operation when he received a bag from the c.e.o. he believes it contained one and not a massive bribe prosecutors have asked for instance of ten years in prison in addition to an eight point five million dollars fine also to be applied to him now of course it has been a very high profile case here in russia and today's verdict does make the highest ranking official ever to be convicted on corruption charges ok thanks jack to you

that was actually. for iraqi men have been one story damages against britain's defense ministry over the ill treatment by soldiers during the iraq war the high court's ruling could pave the way for hundreds more claims against britain over human rights abuses and. reports. an important ruling by the high court here in london a judge had found that british troops in their detention of these people had acted in violation of the geneva conventions as well as the human rights act citing cruel and inhumane treatment as well as unlawful detention the judge here in london said that the assaults quote involved the gratuitous infliction of pain and humiliation for the amusement of those who perpetrated them and quote now we have to keep in mind that this comes just ten days after the international criminal court found quote reasonable basis to understand that british troops had been involved in war

crimes when it came to the detention of iraqi citizens. now the reason this is important is because this could be seen as a test cases when it comes to over six hundred similar cases similar claims currently ongoing in the way these claims are going to be handled moving forward we also have to remember that over three hundred claims were settled out of court by the ministry of defense that had paid out as much as twenty two million pounds and in reaction to this latest ruling we know that the ministry of defense have said that they're studying this judgment. and you walk campaign a brian becker says people are getting away with crimes because some nations put themselves above the rule. it's the only way for accountability to work is for deterrence to work is to show that there will be punishment that there will be

accountability for grievous crimes against humanity here we have in the united states and in the united nations and with the u.k. government a system set up whereby all of the targeted entities by those countries they come to the hague they go to the international criminal court but the perpetrators of the aggression of the occupation of the torture of the violation of geneva conventions those who have really done this they exempt themselves they immunize themselves from prosecution there shouldn't just be civil penalties there should be war crime trials for tony blair in those in the u.k. government and military and likewise with bush and cheney and rumsfeld there should really be accountability there should be criminal penalties. concerns are growing over the freedom of the internet in the u.s. federal regulators scrapped so-called net neutrality rules major tech giants including facebook twitter and netflix of slammed the decision calling it

a blow to innovation and freedom of speech they would join to you by new york's attorney general who valued to see the federal communications commission over the move this is more than an attack on the future of our internet as we know it it's a travesty for anyone who cares about the integrity of their voice in government so we are going to fight back. so here's a quick net neutrality works we do access the web three we internet service providers and up until my companies to treat equally all online traffic but the us federal communications commission says that that is preventing websites from investing trillions of dollars in their services with those regulations go on internet providers will be free to charge a premium to prioritise maps and services so america reports well the f.c.c. is latest decision will repeal obama's regulations that were passed in twenty fifteen and as expected the vote was three to two along party lines with republicans voting

in favor of the deregulation order and democrats voting against it but one democratic commissioner who voted against the order made her feelings known and had some very fierce for marks for the committee to say the very least i dissent from this rash decision to roll back net neutrality rules i dissent from the corrupt process that has brought us to this point as a result of today's misguided action our broadband providers will get extraordinary new powers. they will have the power to block websites the power to throttle services and the power to censor online content now our broadband providers will tell you they will never do these things they say just trust us. but know this they have the technical delivery and business incentive to discriminate and manipulate your internet traffic now many are outraged understandably so but with all the backlash this could eventually end up going to court and activists might

even pressure congress to overturn the vote but this is a partisan issue so would it really have any effect nonetheless these online democracy defenders shouldn't really lose hope because they aren't exactly without allies thirty nine senators sent a letter to the f.c.c. expressing their discontent representative keith ellison he even spoke at today's protest is just too. the american people and we are not going to stand by for it we're not going to stand here we're going to fight back and we are going to win now with all that being said scrapping net neutrality could very well affect how we surf the web but is it really did death of the internet like some are saying well that of course remains to be seen samir come there we talked to experts about the decision and its ramifications the idea here is that with the removal of net neutrality protections that were passed during the obama administration with those out of the way that big telecoms internet service providers would have the ability to throttle certain web traffic that's the big fear and i think it's

a legitimate in the sense of activists and independent media being concerned that they might be pushed out for political reasons and that the i. can affect that now that could potentially in the future lead to direct blocking of websites some worry today's vote is definitely a step in the wrong direction i think what we'll see is that internet service providers can charge more for some companies to get in front of consumers faster or completely block other companies that don't pay so for consumers what that could mean is that prices could go up as their favorite service providers are forced to pay more the only people that have the control the networks right now are the ones that are going to be able to charge more and just have more control and those billions the million dollar industries will have even more control over what you and i see and you are mine. finally this deciding which decoration to put on top of your christmas tree to do use to be a straightforward affair even perhaps a star or an angel but not anymore some famous faces getting involved.

are all.

things looking so i thought i hear not and don't forget you can get plenty more news to get off social media i. feel. so for. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand out of the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answer. the.

question. just by the actual survival guide. when customers go by you would use some. help reduce some lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. i see because we're in the. front of that on.

this one and it's a. wonder whether a colleague said he you know. it's going to hoodwink you in the kingdom or took until such. as someone. no no to be the. thing well i know yeah. in order to be the. me what i think my mentor for phone i want them to done. while in a car with a community able to love your lens or. a person i know sent to him wearing

a cane northrup are you going into. that night the police dispatcher received a phone call and all see together with his group responded. little did he know that he would arrive at his son this much a scene where she you know may you know we don't know we saw it but i you know i know what i think you're going to see almost yes you know. i mean that's you know but i mean way she thought about it i mean when i. was there is a pin so you can run that one up or so make you guys. yes or no what if you. put those on the go to be removed in the room by. your own day. a nurse isn't that only go to london. to say say yes we'll case all of us you. take. that.

mara salvatrucha and barrio eighteen of the two major warring gangs not only do them members clash with each other they also fight for the recruiting new members. and so. on the number one florist them both and they don't sign yourself take a look at it. in the from doing such. a good. animal. noise in phenomenon it up on the side basis i mean people's comic book courses i meet behave any other also has their own little me post. but i went there meant to say some why would they if when they don't want the. sort of bottom up that is so meet the brown they get all my butt.
