to get them and get them something worthwhile to do while a solution to the problem continues to be sort of a sad reality is that violent crimes continue. the church person of the vice bobbin academy for integration believes the same behavioral patterns can be found among any group regardless of whether they have a migrant background or not. what is written in the report is basically common sense people without any perspective with the living standards which are very hard more common. goal in thinking about criminal activities if you talk about integration of immigrants it's a dialogue and on the one for integration you have to build perspectives and give them the chance to be one part of the society but on the other hand you have to

hear their worries about germans and find together with those people who have worries solutions which can help for a better future together. french nationals who fled to fight with islamic state in syria could be facing trial in kurdish held territory not back in france if in syria in kurdistan there are judicial institutions that are capable of assuring a fair trial with guaranteed rights of defense they will be judged the. debate over what action should be taken against this holding french passports has been gathering pace since the arrest of a notorious female the crittur in syria last month she was blacklisted by both the un and the u.s. and is said to have recruited more than two hundred french citizens according to a u.s. based research group more than fifteen hundred extremists of french origin joined

ourselves ranks over a three year period and around three hundred of them have since returned to france where to get further into this i'm happy to say that experts on terrorism at law for university louis harrington joins us live on the program louis good to have your company what do you think of benjamin proposal kicking into a kind of course syrian kurdistan it's not even an independent state of course what do you think is driving his call. well i think clearly this individual the lady involved before she went to syria was heavily involved as a jihadist recruiter. bringing her back to france to stand trial could incite others to commit acts there's no there's nothing of any interest to bring her back for that i think the french would rather see a languish in kurdish jails for for years to come but the reality is in in the islamic state she was a mother of three children i'm not quite sure what crimes she's going to be tried

for in by the peshmerga and so it makes more sense that if she is guilty and remember these you know this is this is a fight for. values that we believe in innocent until proven guilty that if there is evidence it should be transferred from the kurdish authorities to the french prosecutors and she should stand trial in in france if that is the case but that's the that's the big point isn't it can suspected terrorists expect a fair trial in syrian kurdistan. well i mean i see no reason why if the if the evidence if there is evidence. the curry should not you know they're not incapable of holding a trial i don't think that's really the issue i think that if this lady's been held in. by the peshmerga it's at the behest of the the french and it's surprising actually we've really seen

a paradigm shift from say during the one nine hundred ninety s. when in yemen there was a brits two french nationals were held when they were arrested in relation to a terrorism plot we know about that because abu hamza al masri the hoop with the cleric with the hooks is now serving time in the u.s. for that plot all of the individuals involved in that yemeni plot were quickly repatriated given a great deal of assurance yet now it seems you know fifteen years later nobody wants to have any of the u.s. to make forty thousand for fighters from one hundred twenty countries nobody's of nobody's interest to have these people returned to their homeland simply because the dea radicalization programs that we have in place now they can't even account they can't even do anything with the guys who have not been on the front lines how these the radicalization programs going to cope with hardened jihadists the may return and it's not feasible better to keep them languishing in syrian jails keep

them keep the. longest possible does this not open up though the proverbial can of weren't because you've got an area which has no. actual state protocol in syrian kurdistan actually trying people of a foreign country maybe there were a lot of terrorists in that region of course they fought on the ground but it does open up the question about whether or not this is this is legal at all. well absolutely i mean if it depends on how you frame the events in syria was this a war these individuals prisoners of war they captives now i mean we're looking at a criminal aspect but there's also the sort of the issue of where to what how do we how do we how do we see the conflict in syria how can these people of these these women were of course picked up on the battlefield so were a number of foreign fighters we calling it a battlefield not

a crime scene what exactly are we prosecuting them for in the first place whether or not it's even in kurdistan or whether it's in you know whether it's in france or the u.k. or wherever they're return to what exactly are the crimes that we're looking at just picking up on the point of those returning hardest to france how big of a risk is it to parse what we saw three hundred i believe roughly have come back and do you see this as a as a big problem. let's consider in march two thousand. and march two thousand and sixteen the one of the brussels where the individuals involved in the brussels attacks he was a return a from turkey. but i think realistically we've got so many individuals coming back that picking it is going to be very hard to track them is it not. it's going to be i mean this security service is a crew across europe already stretched. you know the counterintelligence work is

already stretched in the u.k. and in france but of course the french have got a better experience of this because of algeria the french are better. tracking it when they come back but ultimately this acuity services have to be have to get it right every single time it only takes two or three of these individuals to cause absolute devastation and we've seen that the last few years europe two thousand and thirteen two thousand and seventeen in paris in london so here in london throughout last year it doesn't take a great deal of individuals and certainly ones to be battle hardened in syria certainly trained up pose a great threat whether they however they returned to the europe it's a threat that's going to be facing us for many years to come here in france still of course in that state of emergency isn't it louis harrington terrorism x. rays loft university thanks for your take as always louis. thank you very much.

still to come in the program the french president plans to crack down on fake news by targeting foreign media without story and more after. the when else just seems wrong. wrong just don't call. me. yet to ship out to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she still looks for common ground. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on. the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are

apparently better than blue. sea people you never heard of love jack for the night president of the world bank so very. seriously send us an email. welcome back iran's military chiefs a restaurant has been blocking the country for the past week is now over at least twenty one people died in the nationwide protests there were still reports of small demonstrations last night the arrests began a working class protest against the climbing living standards and high unemployment quickly flaring into violent government rallies u.s. leaders were quick to throw their support behind the opposition but they may have

misread the will of most of any. when they ask for a better economy when they ask for the government to spend money on their own country as opposed to tear exploits over seas or in other countries sure we would certainly like that to you matt i'm not going to go i'm not going to see that's why you're trying to trap me into something like that i'm not going to go there to try that is no that is not our that is not our policy but we hear what the iranian people are saying poverty corruption and economic uncertainty have the potential to trigger protests in the world over. and they can quickly turn ugly. but the international reaction to such an rest seems to depend on the country in question. this is the precise picture of a long oppressed people rising up against their dictators killed all the money i mean in any country people can protest against high prices but when have

a such demonstrations happen in our country opponents of the establishment come out and support them some western leaders are barely able to contain their enthusiasm for regime change and are rushing to throw their weight behind the demonstrators we are now seeing an organic popular uprising organized organized by brave iranian citizens on the largest scale since two thousand and nine the great to bring in people have been repressed for many years they're hungry for food for freedom along with human rights the wealth of iran has been looted song for change. the west that was. written in. the west of the powers. back in the arena. because it's only with their backing that being the iranian people. can go all the way in securing their freedom in the previous regime but we've seen where this apparent pro-democracy fervor can lead. to an

a you get the american president says he supports the protesters but these protests are not protests against the government these kinds of demonstrations happen in any country and they are against rising prices but each time these demonstrations happen we see that the authorities opponents use them for their own purposes the majority in iraq i believe want evolution not revolution. arab spring style which has brought so much suffering elsewhere on the other hand the west seems oddly quiet about the massive rallies that are being held across iran in support of the government to. the root of the. it's just a canard it's the problem of youth unemployment i personally haven't been able to find a job for a long time but if people have a job they don't have any problem with the government of course most of iran's

economic problems are domestically generally but another reason why investment and you jobs have been slow in coming is that contrary to their obligations under the nuclear agreement western countries notably the united states have not taken sufficient steps to facility normal financial flows when it comes to iran the west says it's listening but clearly selectively co-opting democracy for its own ends is a difficult habit to break and especially churkin r.t. london last the protests in iran began to gain more international attention a number of fake images were circulated widely on social media this tweet shows a photo of a woman hitting police officers with the caption around but it turned out to be a screenshot from an iranian movie after being exposed the man who posted it claimed it was supposed to be symbolic and a video which gained thousands of views on was said to show

a march in iran was later proved to be of a protest in bahrain from twenty eleven other fakes were perhaps less clear one post claimed to show the op rising when it was actually a photo of a pro government rally. the french president is vowing to come back fake news by proposing a law to regulate media influenced by foreign states and money with the ninety's the move to journalists in paris and when. it was finished between fake news machines and the professional media we run the risk of losing the truth the barriers have been destroyed presidential campaigns in almost all modern democracies have displayed their weakness and our collective failure to come up with a response. in his speech he wasn't. which countries or media outlets he thinks could be influencing the french public but are to see the sputnik news agency have drawn me i are in the past our correspondents were denied access to his

presidential campaign last year labeling both outlets agents of influence and propaganda but only if you are on the internet. you. think that. russia today and sputnik have been influential outlets which have several times spoken mistruths about me and my campaign that's why they have not been invited in my headquarters well here out r.t. we launched a new channel for the french speaking world over the christmas period and they've been mediately ruffled a few feathers several french public figures published an open letter calling for r.t. france's license to be revoked they said r.t. has repeatedly faced numerous allegations from the u.s. on several european countries but it will commentator adrian yellen believes mccrone should be careful about taking legal measures against any media i think what he is now trying to do is to change the french civil code in order to prevent

what he sees as a threat to democratic life of the nation he clearly sees r.t. and sputnik as part of that but i think that he will also want to change the narrative of the conversation to make this more about the use the head of what he calls false news fake news i think very carefully i think it's a very thin line between exercising new rules that protect. people's rights to not have their their views challenged by untruths and actually clamping down on freedom of expression so he could find himself acting unconstitutionally if you are not careful and well at home a manual mccrone himself has become infamous for his difficult relations with the press he has repeatedly accused them of being narcissistic and often refused to speak with journalists. giving comments is not the role of the president. but when the quest is for something for something else take the sistine don't give a false as a false save the only so it's only that. i consider for my part that it is not one

of the that certain debate as to take place in a public forum the reality is the international media television news internet is now a fact of life and if you wish to be a statesman on the well scene you need to engage with media rather than running away from it he in my view did himself no favors and i think that he's very clearly now trying to do a bit of a huge said and trying to sort of embrace those who support him whilst perhaps shunning those that don't say he hasn't done himself any favors that's your thursday evening news roundup from moscow of us are more r t program starting in just a few moments see you again in thirty minutes time. everybody i'm stephen both. hollywood guy suspects every proud american first of all

i'm just george bush and honored to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm not. going to. go with those up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the good have some fun every day americans. look for the stork to bridge the gap this is the great american. journalists the city of luxury and fame but also. an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been

a struggle. this man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution perth to someone wanted touring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. with make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts and be the one percent. we can

all middle of the room sick. i mean real news. ratings and salutation. merry new year hawk watchers we are back we are live we are ready to take on this upcoming year of our lord two thousand and eighteen and i see that less than a week into the life of the new year what is old is new again i'm not talking about . side ponytails and political and the politically correct crowd freaking out over dave chappelle jokes no no i'm not talking about that i am i am talking about north korea iraq and the long running horror show that israel and palestine already this

week we've seen the brand name and cheap united states president donald trump tweet up a storm over who has the bigger red nuclear button himself or north korean leader kim jong un who knew with tweeting out will someone from his depleted and food starve regime please inform him that i too have a nuclear button but it is much bigger and more powerful more powerful one than his and my button works. our president sounding like an apocalyptic via grad on the w w e network. but while the donald was busy tweet bragging kim jong un was busy extending an olive branch to south korea yeah you actually heard me correct north and south korea have reopened a long suspended cross border hotline in an effort to start official talks over north korea sending a delegation to the twenty eight thousand winter olympics which in case you've been living under a rock are being held in south korea but while peaceful talks may be near or on the

korean peninsula they are nowhere in sight on the border between israel and palestine since the donald declared drew sloan the capital of israel this week the netanyahu trump crowd added even more gasoline to the gaza fire by threatening to withdraw u.s. aid to the un r.w. a united nations agency responsible for assisting palestinian refugees meanwhile on the other side of the middle east and i government protests are have taken are taking place in iran and have bill kristol and other most military industrial complex types on t.v. looking their intervention in trade interventionist shops causing many to wonder if we are witnessing the beginnings of it another cia sponsored iranian government overthrow like the one we saw back in one nine hundred fifty three. like i said what is old is new again so let's start watching the hawks of twenty eighty.

three. to see if. you know that i got. this. week. well the middle of the lodge and the arc scientists are all better. and then have the wallace twenty eight he seen three stories that i've been with those were alone time no. new terms because of a lot of tweeting a lot of. add a little spice again battle does not put a way to twitter button so. speaking of bugs we're going to start way right there on fire today already so i want to ask you this do you believe that north korea

just undercut trump states by opening up quite literally a channel a phone line to talk to south korea the debate is going to give the big undercut like oh well never go to the table never they don't they all want war they want to blow everybody up on the face of the earth and i was sort of like he goes let's talk about the olympics maybe some go on. of course because once again this is another another indication another situation in which you have the united states being undercut by another country going in and doing diplomacy you know it's a wild idea. but this is this is what's kind of hard as is we've seen this before it had to do with preconditions when obama was being elected it was this idea of in both elections it was this idea of you can't talk to them without preconditions without preconditions we have to set and that's kind of what make you really brings back the old preconditions of the obama era complaint so you have. a we said we

won't take any of the talks seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons and north korea we don't think we need a band-aid and we don't think we need to smile and take a picture well i know i'm like who was i thought i'd honestly you know how i felt about a lot of the passive aggressive spokesman person things that were coming out of the obama administration that i didn't think out. and i feel like this is even worse this is more this is more passive aggressive than anything it's this we want even we want even recognize that that you had a peace talks with north korea that could stop. and fighting and all of these things but it's not like they're going to sing something right so now they're saying it has to be real conditions now they're bringing up something that has always been argued that well let us let us know move to the other side of the news in this week and talk. talk israel and palestine where the donald took to twitter once again. quote we pay the palestinians one hundred of millions of dollars

a year and get no appreciation or respect they don't even want to negotiate a long overdue peace treaty with israel. so the idea is that we give you millions and hundreds of millions of dollars one hundred of million recess millions of dollars you give us respect well here's the thing let's clear this all up and let me ask you to how much money has the united states given to both parties in that in those terrible terrible tragic fight taking place right so according to usa which is where most of the money goes through especially for policy the united states gives about three point one billion in aid to israel is a lot of money and the december two thousand and sixteen congressional report stated that since the palestinian authority is creation following the oslo process that was in one thousand nine hundred three the united states has invested over that time about four hundred million dollars a year to the palestinians but according to her it's most of this money isn't just

going directly to the palestinian authority in fact not really none of it has gone to it rather than usaid supported projects in the west bank and gaza which. part of me feels better about that because it's the ideas that we're controlling it's going into us aid programs but then i usaid has issues i wonder how much is interesting little history with the usa so a lot of cia front things go sour can't prove that i'm just saying you know what it's being used to do certain kinds of information gathering you. know jump over to a row or so these protests taking place now they're nowhere near as big as like what we saw back at the get two thousand and nine which i like to you know but but there are protests there of course mainstream media was like going crazy everyone's talking about it it was going nuts i just want to get to this quick quote before we move on to the next piece american reading author trita parsi writes that when compared to the massive election protests in two thousand the corporate there's appear much more sporadic with no clear leadership in shifting objectives for c.n.n. he writes according to witnesses i spoke to the protests were initiated by in mashad

by religious hardliners who sought to take advantage of the population's legitimate economic grievances to score points against the rouhani government which they consider too moderate so before we start getting behind protests in iran everybody all those people we saw that we need to figure out who actually are these protesters and how much the cia is kind of in the scene there were guys these important questions. some say golf is for the birds and it was constant one golf course developers actually using golf to save birds according to the american bird conservancy in the united states almost three hundred of the seven hundred fifty native bird species are declining and population that's nearly thirty seven percent of the total population being sensitive to environmental and habitat changes birds are an important tool for ecologists protected eco's predicting an ecosystem development agriculture wildlife water and even tourism and the kirkland warbler has managed an impressive comeback on its onsen due to

conservation efforts over the last ten years the bird normally breeds in northern michigan and then migrates to the bahamas turks and caicos between up. over and between august and october but due to predators like the brown cowbird it is going to take more effort in order to invigorate the species as a sconce and state department of natural resources conservation biologist dave and lopez put it you never want all your eggs in one basket no pun intended which is where golf course developer michael kaiser comes in he's spotted the worst player on the land next to his seven hundred acre sand valley golf restored leaving him to purchase another seventy two hundred acres of land next to it for an open to the public recreational land for activities like hunting hiking and skiing on that swath of land he's working to restore the habitat for not only the warbler but to other endangered species the carb or blue bottle fly and the slender classless are and it's working because after simply clearing red pine trees from the land native

plants whose seeds have been dormant in the sand for decades bloom and the plants that support butterflies bees and even birds are starting to come back now kaiser a chicago based greeting card scion is part of the reason wisconsin was named the best hope doctors nation destination in the world in two thousand and seventeen due to the diversity of its landscape and as we move into twenty eighteen let's find more ways to use our love of the links to conserve and serve the ecosystems are part of that is a wild story plus it's like i mean i think go of course of always how about like bad element like oh they look pretty for the people walking on them but they like decimate the inverter around them with all the chemicals they use. in the press the sides of all of that so this is a really wild story but there was no then you tell would vote earlier today the really just blew my mind that you have to tell people right now which is about bird watching as an industry yes someone who clearly in the last year or two i have of all.
