was decided to close the camp we spoke to one of its residents. why did i leave eritrea because they were treated as a dictatorial country but then i couldn't live there i couldn't be myself. you cannot do anything you work there like a slave for them it's all you can do you can call it a slave at first i didn't choose to come to israel i didn't think about anything and i just wanted to see where there is peace where i can take care of myself where i can protect myself. i was in natanya until eight months ago and then they told me i had to come to hall and i asked why do i have to come to whole and i never did anything that i have not done anything i did not fight with anybody what's the problem what am i guilty of they said no the government has decided that i said ok the government has decided and i respect the law and so i came to hold out the holcombe of the earlier we were joined by writer and political commentator. and

given levy from the israeli newspaper ha'aretz to debate the issue. we face the problem so-called problem of some city seven thousand asylum seekers refugees who lift both of them have children here they should stay here they have to stay you know human the regime would expand and if it is going to expel them by force it will be one of the most sharing food stamps that israel had ever taken note less than these are not refugees they're criminals who crossed the border illegally and not all men but you can talk about this solemn seekers when the people come from vatican three to not the commentary to save their lives they how well they they have done quite a long way they didn't want to stay in egypt for example for some reason they want

to benefit from our reach from a merciful society not people like you don't live a who are all true liberal radical version or are they live in pure white neighborhoods of tel aviv where they have no problems but the government duffey israel is here to protect this citizens of israel and the people in poor neighborhoods that maybe the roads are suffering tremendously from of this invasion of criminals who and third the contras now some of them of course behaved fine this is exactly the way that they spoke to the surtees in some european countries they change the nature of the country sixty says. they are off a country of nine million people i mean how race i stand that people are able sombrero his i am older i need in a say that i said just america does a lot of neighborhoods terrible problem we cannot accept any illegal immigrants

no one no more. no more and west sending them to the places where they will be safe with the mahdi in their pockets with the money which they are and eighty percent over the i retrained in europe are recognized as refugees in israel less than one percent how can you call it but the races those people fighting for their lives israel is a refugee society kidnap zul the surtees seven thousand people and it's on believe about how good it did to speak in such a racist way but that's. a new study shows germany's growing the migrant population may be linked to spike in violent crime there and that story much more after a short break this is our international.

all have our good walking. our welcome back this is art international live from moscow now a deadly week long anti-government uprising in iran has put further strain on relations between tehran and the u.s. with accusations and criticisms flying back and forth between the countries our administration will continue to support the protesters in that cools of freedom washington intervenes in a grotesque way in iran's internal affairs. iran's military chief has said the the turmoil that swept the country is now over civil disobedience has been widely condemned in iran over the past two days these are images of rallies that have been held in a number of cities in support of the authorities according to the country's interior

ministry around forty two thousand people were involved in the uprising began with protests over declining living standards and high unemployment and then took a violent anti-government turn. has more now on the u.s. reaction and how washington appeared keen to exploit the protest for its own. when they ask for a better economy when they ask for the government to spend money on their own country as opposed to terror exploits overseas or in other countries sure we would certainly do when they say that to you i support mat 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 unrest

seems to depend on the country in question this is the precise picture of a long oppressed people rising up against their dictators killed on the one you know i mean in any country people can protest against high prices but when have a such the must ration is happen in our country the opponents of the establishment come out and support them and 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 greats of reign young people have been repressed for many years they're hungry for food for freedom along with human rights the wealth of iran is being looted song for change it is essential that western powers britain britain think in the. america i mean the west the power is. back in the arena. because it's

only with their backing that being the iranian people will feel secure and can go all the way to securing their freedom in the of the previous regime but we've seen where this apparent pro-democracy fervor can lead. to. yes. 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 and we see that the authorities opponents use them for their own purposes the majority in iraq i believe want evolution not revolution or. the 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 it is 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 the raw economic problems are domestically generation but another reason why investment and you jobs have been slow in coming is that contrary to their obligations under the agreement western countries notably the united states have not taken sufficient steps to facilitate normal financial flows when it comes to iran the west says it's listening but clearly selectively as co-opting democracy for its own ends is a difficult habit to break and r.t. london as the protests in iran began to gain more international attention a number of fake images were circulated widely on social media this week shows

a photo of a woman acrobatically attacking police officers with the caption iran 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 the video which again thousands of views and was said to show a margin iran was later proved to be a protest in bahrain from two thousand and eleven other fakes were perhaps less clear one post claimed it to show the uprising when it was actually a photo of a pro government rally. the rise in violent crime in a northern german state may be linked to an increased in migrants according to a government backed study but is it really that simple or look why have reports of violent crime in one german state increased by more than ten percent in the last two years but this is exactly what a group of criminologist said seumas university of applied signs to find and what

they established is that there is a link between the increased violent crimes in lowest sex to me and the influx of migrants but the authors say there are a number of important contributing factors the first and foremost is the age of the migrants most of man between the ages of fourteen and thirteen not generally speaking people in this age bracket are more likely to commit acts of a vine of nature than people in other age groups secondly where they come from is important migrants who come from syria iraq and afghanistan tend not to carry out the same number of violent acts as migrants for example that are coming from north africa and then third what is also relevant is the fact that there is a lack of women among the migrants only a quarter of migrants are female which means that you have groups of young men without the wives the mothers will be sisters and they are more likely to carry out

acts of a violent nature now these findings do reflect earlier reportings that suggests that there is an increase in acts of a violent nature that are connected to the mike when crisis since two thousand and fifteen more than a million migrant have a arrived here in germany that's say that wolf is there is an important mitigating factor and this is and it could be that people may be more likely to report acts find an exit are carried out by migrants. then if they were carried out by local germans now criminologist believes that only integration isn't the solution and should bring down the high level of crime rates among my goodness kind of from our point of view the study shows once again that you must not abandon those who come to us but actively provide integration and that means for example compulsory and comprehensive integration and language courses places in kindergartens in schools

let's ask people here in berlin what they think. i would say that this is coming from both sides the more people that come the more the dissatisfaction will be from those who have lived here longer i think that's something that should be driven by politics but on it at the end of the day it's just it's just part of the society that we all need to change and integrate people better by about changing our behavior and i've got the colors are really of it one of the more radical solutions would be to deploy the immigrants from germany interation stuff it's all day or they need to work at some point being an immigrant and working it's a different story we're kind of try to to get them to get them something worthwhile to do while a solution to the problem continues to be sort of a sad reality is that a violent crimes continue. our team. that does it for me i'll be back in about

thirty five minutes of full look at your news you are watching r t international. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. a 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 found his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on

up in the year and a welcome to the alex song until today we have a special focus on europe not about blacks of the european council on the council of europe. an organization which long european union and which is not twenty eight members but forty seven stretches across the entire continent from east to west today we find out what it is what it does and why many people believe it to be both relevant and the cortlandt in meeting the challenges of today and tomorrow before starts here from the smell of a rundown of what you can look forward to in today's all examined show thank you

alex we'll be hearing from the data directly form a leader of plate country and the party still peer in the house of lords here in the studio who'll be stating his case on the importance of the council of europe from strasburg alex will be interviewing lots of key players but first to your tweets facebook messages and emails now the debate around breaks that of course rages on and we have a tweet from stephen morrison who says excellent show alex salmond was surprisingly even handed allowing kids to unite eleven's room to air their views a clever way to expose the fragility of their enterprise he says. many people have watched alex's interview of the president of lebanon michel aoun and we have a message here from carol hatton who says here's hoping the lebanese people see through trump's starting attempts to manipulate them as he has done with the us she actually xenophobic rightwing it's up to the lebanese government to set the tone for their people and ignore trump for the narcissist child he is strong through

some color and indeed jacqueline who also messages us to see this will be so interesting and thus too close to trumps declaration on jerusalem he's a loose cannon i can't understand how and why he's allowed to continue as president mind you i can't understand how you managed to get voted in in the first place i think there are many jaclyn who share your view across the world we also have a message from a mickle who attended our christmas show where we had an audience who says i'm really glad you find a new career in the media and i'm enjoying your short stay well alex and thank you for all your many and continuing contributions to scotland story thank you finally a message from chip lead low he says hello alex i'm from edinburgh i watched every episode of your show as it comes on more thank you jake i am proud of your show and how it deals with its issues by asking and often post sides of the story unlike most news broadcasters keep up the good work upright scotsman supporter of the alec salmon shill thank you very much indeed and now let's hear from lloyd taffeta

weekly who's going to state his case on the council of europe. of all the aspects of your a four year that have been generated by breck's it the most incredible is the hostility to the european court of human rights and i fear that the u.k. government shares the subversion. this is frankly ridiculous this strasberg court is no spinoff from the european union but established by the european convention on human rights it's aimed were drafted in one thousand nine hundred fifty eight long before the was born and one of its early supporters was winston churchill those basic human rights go to the core of european civilization they are to protect individuals from abuse by state power safeguards against torture slavery forced labor rights to a fair trial and freedom of conscience. european fascist regimes viciously nor

these rights so it is vital that individual citizens could take court action against guilty governments the european court of human rights has forty seven states as members including countries such as switzerland norway and the ukraine way beyond the use twenty eight members whatever the outcome of the current bracks debacle surely no democratic politician can argue against such a civilised institution hatred of all things european threatens to drown out decent human standards a red line must be drawn in the bracks a debate to safeguard this fundamental european institution it's in the interests of every person throughout europe that this be done a lot of weakly a warm welcome thank you but don't the un to europeans have a point when what is the purpose of withdrawing from the european union to get out from under the luxemburg court and then staying under the jurisdiction of the court

and stars but well i of course would like to remain in europe and the both courts to be applicable but they are two totally different courts of the court in strasbourg deals with fundamental rights extends way beyond the twenty eight countries and it was something established after world war two to avoid the sort of happenings that we experienced in europe during the years of fascism and that is something that we should always be aware of and awake to and therefore the fight to maintain a system that protects citizens in countries it could be vulnerable to that is mightily important but the illness is suggesting that if the u.k. withdrew from the jurisdiction of stars but court that fundamental liberties in this company wouldn't be protected by the supreme court in london well there are times where that has doubts about it any court including of course the courts as a book it doesn't always get it right but i want to see britain the united kingdom and particularly wales or scotland in a system that in. sure is those rights for all our colleagues in europe and not

just in the european union it is so important because once you start getting a rotten apple in any box that can start affecting the rest and therefore we want to ensure that there's a generality of fair play and human rights running throughout our continent but surely to these amaze opposition to the strasburg court is based on her experience of home said when she was frustrated that she wasn't allowed to deport people because of darth rulings about the domestic animals and pets well of course there may well have been deft rulings although in that context i think it was massively misinterpreted and wrongly projected in the media but you don't throw out a whole system a system or of course just because one ruling may have gone wrong and in any case i can't help but feel that terrorism is been playing this for political purposes she's now in a position where she wants to make sure that she can carry so the pro european wing of a party with her and therefore as a token is reversing a position with regards to grier the stars because so do you suspect that she could

reverse again the ones blacks are safe where the way that the her opposition to the court of stars but the european convention to the parliamentary assembly could be met i think that her feelings are very fundamental feelings it's as if somebody has done her susceptibilities and she wants to put the booted and she can't do so no but there will come a time when she may well try to assume that she lost the course but i think the argument is much wider than that it's in terms of our rights throughout these islands and throughout our continent we've got to stand by those and what is the would be the impact on the devolved positions in scotland and wales if some point in the future there was to be a u.k. with goal from the jurisdiction of the stars because we're course that assumes that scotland and wales are still an integrated part of the u.k. scotland has a slightly different position because scotland has its own legal system and have that have been a record. of cases arising from scotland i know you yourself wrote it as first

minister in that context but scotland and wales will have to make their own course for the future and i would hope that scotland and wales whatever their relationship with london is that they would be fully supportive of the european court of human rights but they're more words take my own experience you know space and welsh politics i mean i have had a member collectively the scottish government lost the case on on their internal sanitation of prison cells where peter had personal and we were forced to to rebuild peter had personal is something that you should be ordered to do by a court in stars says luke rebuild the person because we're not satisfied with the party availability for persons well i think there is a question of the standard at which you hold people in prison not just in scotland or particularly here in wales in england at this point in time it is just not good enough human decency should be respected even if people are paying the price by

losing their freedom and being locked up for the fact that a european court may have directed this must make you think whether perhaps course of scotland itself should have addressed the issue first. in terms of the future when very few people in this country know all the difference between the european court and lots of burgers and the strasbourg court of human rights very few people even know of the existence of the parliamentary assembly and stars but can something which is so relatively unknown which is regularly in the press confused with the european union itself can something so unknown really this all important well you ask the question to what extent do people in these islands know the details of the court to take different term decisions and operate the law here it's not something people talk about in their daily lives but it's important that is. the human rights element particularly is there as

a safeguard it is the backdrop to which people can revert when things go wrong within their own jurisdictions and i think for that reason it needs to be available to law are you confident that your case for retaining u.k. membership or scotland and welsh left. of the european convention will succeed well if it doesn't succeed would have to reinvent it because it's so important not only in our own terms but in terms of all our fellow citizens in europe that we're going to thank you very much know before you go as a new year gift. this is a quick gallop for the loving cup of whiskey and there are none of that well stuff only scotch we have excellent welsh whiskey but i will abate that and i'm very very grateful for this gift and also for the opportunity to talk ludwig with thank you so much thank you so lot wigley is constant but the future of the council europe but one of the key players seeing across the continent coming up after the break

strasburg to find out. all to see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and your backs have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come from that steroids or three. thousand zero zero zero zero hitter here i call rush on.

strike. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good. hello my name's peter and i've been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got in the time. when you're going to get. i don't need to just punished or do a deep crime because the guys that you're going after. my stuff is not his position .
