three pm friday afternoon moscow time headlining this hour a sinister threat to cripple britain's communications links the country's most senior military officer warns that underwater cables are at risk of sabotage by russia. concerns of extremism on the eve doorstep he reports exclusively from a village that suspected of being a jihadi hot. when heading to the small to meet force is one of sixty five communities across parts of the city it modifies and coming up to us police are accused of being too trigger happy again with tasers as video emerges of officers appearing to use excessive force.

either this is out international kevin owen with you this hour is just turned three in the afternoon as i say moscow time has that breaking news to update you on first of all this hour you can see it in red there on the ticker former russian economy minister alexei luke a of has been sentenced in the last eight years in prison after being found guilty of taking a two million dollars bribe he is there for the highest profile government official to receive such a conviction jacqueline vogel reports. i have who held the position of economy minister for three years 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 a state run oil company here and russia and according to the court he demanded that sum and exchange for his ministries approval of the sale of another major oil company here in russia to rosneft saying that he would actually impede the deal if he was denied for his part has pled not guilty from the start and claims that he's

the victim of a set up however the court found no proof of that claim he insists that the bag that he received the night of the sting he was under the impression that it contained a gift of wine and not a massive bribe used to be fined around two million dollars and faces eight years in prison he's called the decision unfair but says that he's not giving up hope and his lawyers have already said that they will be appealing the court's decision this is of course been a very closely followed case here and russia and today's verdict does make will have the highest ranking russian official to be convicted of corruption charges over. the chief of britain's to phone stuff is warning that russia could come true. underwater fiber optic cables live to london for more on this probably boycotts across the story that they will really throw from a very senior british officer was this all come from. warning has come from ph he is a senior nato official and he's also the chief of british defense stuff and he says

that russian ships have been spotted perilously close to land take cables these are underwater very important strategic cables that cross the atlantic from europe to the u.s. and since according to peach russia has continued to develop its unconventional warfare well the internet could be the kremlin's next victim take a listen. russia in addition to new ships and submarines continues to perfect both unconventional capabilities and information warfare and there is a new risk to our way of life which is the vulnerability of the cables that crisscross the sea beds. well according to says peach that kind of disruption could have catastrophic event effects and he stressed that russian ships are constantly cruising the atlantic's waters potentially with the purpose of causing these cables

when no one is watching and as is often the case when military officials make these warnings well there is a way of mitigating this threat that he's talking about according to him and that is by spending more money on defense quite an important and perhaps also ironic side note to this story is the fact that these cable cables that we're talking about are the very same cables that we know that britain and the u.s. have been tapping we know that thanks to the leaks of edward snowden from back in two thousand and thirteen we know that g.c. h.q. the british spy agency also its u.s. counterpart the n.s.a. they've been gathering intelligence through these cables for years for example g.h. hughes temper a program that placed dates or interceptors on those fiber optic cables that connect the u.s. and europe and all the information flowing from the u.k.

was intercepted it made this sort of trance atlantic network that allowed british intelligence to access huge amounts of traffic going from europe to the u.s. the n.s.a. had a very similar program which is called prism as well none of that appears to bother this nato official who is making this warning about russia potentially cutting the cables the message from him appears to be the next time that your internet is playing up well before you start cursing your internet provider make sure it wasn't the russians fast follow. your leaders have agreed to integrate the differences into a more unified force it means member nations will have to increase the military spending european council president donald tusk revealed the plan of the summit on thursday. today does dream becomes

a reality we are launching permanent structures corporation so-called. which is a practical expression of our will to build the europeans it is best go it's not only good news for us but it is also good newell's for our allies. in the bed and you'll see that. one person has been nearly two decades in the making it all now unite twenty five you member states that includes eighteen defense projects thus far a lot of them do mirror existing nato projects though that's the catch here let's look at some of the similarities should we for a minute they include trade in assist missions there common in nato operations it would also tackle cyber attacks as well as creating crisis resolution centers is that again pretty similar to what nato is doing at the moment poland incidentally which has signed up to the pact is already questioning the need for these 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. peace campaign a polka week of martin believes that even with an extra layer of defense the e.u. still going to struggle to tackle one of its biggest problems and that's violent extremism. they are now entering into agreement where they are going to have to increase their military spending at the cost of aether 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 war or the easy violent extremists attack or investing more money in these other type of military toys and tanks instead of investing money in the long term solutions that will help around the issues of violent extremism the more you spend on the military the more apt your you to use that rather than

diplomatic tools and other means to solve the crisis. meantime just beyond the use border there's a village in bosnia and herzegovina which is seeing a number of radicalized fighters returning from syria and iraq show the debate as he's been there to see whether the e was gotten extremism hotbed for men thing right and it's very doorstep. we're heading to the small village of it's one of sixty five communities possibles me it's a skill set it be radicalised they've been dubbed shari'a religious nuts 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. was.

but the local and mom is telling me that some of the residents have joined the islamic state and this one a lot of the people who went to syria and fourteen other side of isis but we tried to stop that a lot of bosnia has been one of the main targets of islamic state propaganda dubbed a recruitment hotbed with eisel suffering traumatic losses in syria recruits are expected to come home some of them already date committed a lot of the minister is only one person now we are distancing ourselves from him we have nothing to do with him this is a political the fear is that as fighters come back they may not just spread radical ideology but also in far on the stop listening and islamic caliphate in

europe. and of course in bosnia and herzegovina there are already small caliphate suggesting that the reason that they are far from the cities and towns is that it allows them to perform any covert activity they need to and the fact that they're recruiting members means in the future they will be a big threat to europe the bosnian government try to curb the terrorist threat by making illegal it. tough fight for a foreign military and more than a dozen of those who have to turn from syria have been jailed while the country is also spending millions of euros on the radicalization projects but is it all working the local a man says he fears for his life after speaking out against those who joined eisel we do this in a polluted with these radical element all men are always unpredictable these people breed with the aid at the same table as me and they want to shoot me bisons defeat in syria and iraq will most likely to hide its foreign fighters back home for many

of them as we've just learned home means here a sleepy village in an area in the heart of europe dream isn't has already taken root in charlotte d.p.t. r.t. bosnia and herzegovina. two police officers in the u.s. city of cincinnati are accused of using excessive force after tasering suspects during a domestic dispute inquiry body comforters of the incident that happened earlier this year is only just surface to warning what's coming up next we may find upsetting. ok ok let me. go. well the officers confronted two men in south korea who tasering them without prior indication they were under arrest one of the men suffered from a collapsed lung as a result of the confrontation a complaint was filed with the country county's prosecutors prevented the offices

from being interviewed since the year two thousand over one thousand people have died in the us after being stunned with tasers by police nine out of ten or also on armed a number of those taser it is very worth pointing out as well as suffering from mental illness concerns of police abuse of prompted amnesty international to issue an appeal of a strict a tazer rules in the us one victim who sued officers describe for us what he went through. a recovered like physically but mentally on the. heart of think about still even though it's been one year.

he did leave over and over and over and two days into it they just kept telling me that there was not going to be a bomb on. this post feel comfortable around the police. the way they were laughing. and pretty much having fun with it. i was afraid that they were going to try and feel me. we spoke to the lawyer who represented jordan norris chair in this case he says the police could have led to told him 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 taste 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. a quick russian law could see if facing a hefty fine or even jail for using a tracking device to follow away would any right to try could put them out of them 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 know the who is. the calf is a terror when you just disappears every now and then. we have huge areas of a band and. it's hard for me to run after him because i've asked him there were times with this one little one so i spent two whole days searching for. a tiny gadget that would save the day why not fetch it all for a bargain price and so you gave me 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 your crime the result a confiscated gadget and either rippling fine or prison plus the dubious honor of being the first ever spy and. really in the middle of nowhere.

getting in trouble like this i couldn't have imagined not even in a nightmare. that will bring my daughter speech here a fine would be very harsh it would really hurt our pockets so i did it's terrifying for us after a bit of research we thought it could be one of the things our t. shirt bring up on thursday. last year more than two hundred people were found guilty under the same laws what can you say about that. i didn't even get the reason for using g.p.s. for help. ordered the gadget on the line from china because the calf would run the lucy it was a piece that illegal would be obliged to pay for there was an article in the russian criminal code under which. i didn't even know that such an order existed i'll definitely look into that article in the case it was because it was on it's

the first time i'm hearing about problems with attaching such things to cat was i know the trackers or even put on caps to make sure they'd just all of us what's the problem with this needs to be sorted out that. years ago i didn't think my problem with getting published i hope this means that they will consider the law because lots of people have suffered because of this when i was watching the t.v. i was nervous because i hope the case is resolved in my favor and maybe really buy new get it will deal so there's mr tear waste chance to be less of a trouble maker without any laws being broken he'll have a tranquil r t. it will let you know if there's any changes made coming up while we're talking tech federal regulators scrap net neutrality rules is big news the last twenty four hours it's raised widespread concern over the freedom of the internet in america tell you all about that eighty seconds away.

level was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that. you stopped by to tell you that every gossip exactly. as a. whole and i like. all the hawks that we all walk the walk. manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the frame of. the one percent. nor middle of the room.

again thanks being with us today so the concerns are growing over the freedom of the internet in the united states after federal regulators screw up so-called net neutrality rules major tech giants including facebook twitter and netflix have slammed the decision calling it a blow to innovation and freedom of speech they were joined by new york's attorney general who voted to sue 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 if you could do with a quick refresh but well this is about you trying to work here it is we access the web through internet service providers up until now companies had to treat equally

all online traffic but the us federal communications commission says that that's preventing websites from investing trillions of dollars in the services so now with the regulations gone as of yesterday internet providers will be free to charge a premium to prioritise maps and services if you want more his samir a cone 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 to the american people and we are not going to stand by for that kind of steered 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 the death of the internet like some are saying well that of course remains to be seen does we talk smack but it's about their thoughts about this decision and with what we think revocations going to be. 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 that 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 get a so for consumers whether that means that prices could go up as their favorite

service providers are forced to pay more only people that have to control the networks right now are the ones that are going to be able to charge more and just have more control and those millions and millions like mysteries will have even more control over what you and i see and you are mine. complete change of pace and subject to get to meet more legends of world football past and present the stun column or continues the to the twenty eighty big will. which. it's really going to. do is one of these. cool every generation england against knowledge and so you know what was the mood about playing against maradona all grew the best player in the

world you were scoring goals. didn't he was that outside boy. you know south american their backgrounds what they grow know they fight anyway they can get away in any way that's all that matters you know that that second goal when he picks the little pirouettes and off he goes that's a loss and when you're on the football pitch are you aware that that's a. moment i see and so ever in my career i thought i ought to applaud i didn't and i just thought my god could because you got to realise well we've played their massive problems with the pitch so how we did what we did on the 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 any time kind of shape. it 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 of

course of the game. is you can see stuff goes really big names lined up they've got full one it's next now that sunday which decoration to put on top of christmas tree used to be straightforward enough traditional choice of either a star or an angel but not anymore progress they call it another famous faces getting their wigs.

so you can see the possibilities are endless news update so far i'm kevin i would here out to h.q. moskos site thanks so watching don't forget you can download to stay tuned in or updates a secret half now maybe. it's a miserable. one when they hit the big car the city leader.

in the mood to call. this a roadies of interaction following them in the mall riminton make a run with her foot on the cliffs and for a moment up on the yes as a local look at them they wanted us and the feeling to see all. of those. so. i thought that. one almost chose seemed wrong all right old quotes just don't call. me lol but you get to shape out these days it comes to educate and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look

for common ground. it's all the politicians who make people afraid that's b.s. that's when they start russia better relations with the united states. supra national ism in brussels and the you'll be the union that is the real reason and that is something i don't see right. greetings and sal you take should. all right let's take a quick break for all things net neutrality corporate hack i-g. pie and the f.c.c. because i have some important earth shattering news to tell you today well hawk watchers i'm shocked shocked to inform you that us made weapons didn't find their

way into the hands of isis fighters during their reign in syria and iraq now now please please don't don't ask so surprised well i'm sure that most viewers of the show and consumers of independent news media in general have known or suspected this part quite some time to the good black waving folks working in the corporate media today this this is news to them usa today's headlines announced the us weapons per syrian rebels and some wound up in the hands of isis terrorists meanwhile jeff bezos and the gang over at the washington post originally threw up this juicy little headline stating how u.s. weapons help the islamic state if you will the industrial revolution of terrorism later they shipped a bad line to the much more isis blaming isis stole u.s. supplied rockets weeks after they arrived in syria reports. three years in the making the new report compiled by the conflict armament research group which tracks

how weapons supplies find their way into conflicts found that an authorized retransfer is a significant source of islamic state weapons and ammunition and that the united states and saudi arabia supplied most of this material without authorization apparently to syrian opposition forces which was then sold to sold to or recovered by our forces you see the river of blood that is arms dealing flows damned and we are definitely all covered up in it so it's time to start getting clean but watching the hawks. that's. the bottom. like you that i got.
