there are multiple threads as the taliban there's al qaeda there's i says there's also has missed me which is also in the government so there are a number of opponents and i think this simply isn't the right intelligence to counter these kind of attacks because they're happening on the regular basis one day it's a civilian target one it's a military target one day it's a commercial road or like today to counter terrorism in afghanistan you need a regional approach and the regional approach means working with iran working with pakistan and working with russia in the central asian states at the moment the us is not really doing that they have their own strategy and it doesn't fit in with britain strategy. this week the two koreas agreed to march together and i think all flying during the upcoming winter olympics the north will now send twenty two athletes to compete in three sports at the plant chang gave the international olympic committee president thomas back praise to be a dream and calling it a milestone in
3:31 pm
a long journey the two koreas will also form i think will team in women's hockey for the first time in a limb pick history they will also have a korean folksong as a common un for. officials from both countries have been meeting throughout the week to discuss peace efforts but the seeming reproach moment between the koreas hasn't convinced the u.s. president who said he's not sure talks can lead to anything meaningful also this week the u.s. found allies of the one nine hundred fifty s. korean war gathered in canada to separate talks on the current crisis and agreed more pressure is the only solution. the pressure. on north korea takes the signs that. i think what you're clicking is to send out a very clear message we want to intensify that pressure discord that include cutting off diplomatic ties with north korea. we spoke to human rights lawyer eric throughout came he says washington fears jumping out of the spotlight in the korean
3:32 pm
crisis president. somehow believes that the pressure approach is the this is something different than has been applied before which it isn't and in reality he wants to pull back some of the thunder if you will back to washington because you have again the north and south talking i think the u.s. is a little jekyll and hyde with its policies because on one hand it wants to have a resolution wants to have de mille nuclearization wants to have peace and on the other hand pumps up this rhetoric and so the motivations relate to finances they relate to geo political factors of the u.s. power in the region if you will and they relate to trying to ice out china and russia a little bit as a player in this as was evident in vancouver. drug related

crimes are becoming so bad on parts of the paris metro the train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain station as according to a union representing the metro and bus network in the french capital do both he went underground to investigate. for most parisians the metro is a staple of life with its winding tunnels and lines that stretch across the city it's often the easiest way to get from a to b. but down in the underground the gritty underbelly of the capital is being exposed drug related crime and violence has been a long standing issue paresis metro but now the unions representing train drivers say it is spiraling out of control dealers and muses including those taking crack cocaine
3:34 pm
a new god thing what they've doing. lighting up metro drivers is so fearful of attacks it's some stations many are choosing to longer stop there a survivor more force of i'm not pro quo is very dangerous and it's terrifying if you can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives or. stations like marks door and market a year are especially troubled druggy says come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over for problem of. the problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters is even more dangerous they are targets of fast i've seen more than one hundred attacks take place. within minutes of arriving if mark's door metro station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with a bag in hand he walked the platform stopping and exchanging some packages with
3:35 pm
people and then he left with his bag empty this seems to be the new normal. there are lots of drug users and i think that with everything that's happening in the match row they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and everyone. he's afraid for the security of my children. twenty twenty five. lived there we've we've we've heard of course. i've been attacked just one time because. we had in the middle of the night. smart for. playing with that problem was the precipice a problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes it's maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes to my ceasar man attack another young man. as we
3:36 pm
travelled through some of the most dangerous stations we saw metro security and police trying to crack down on the problem they succeeded in moving this bunch along but in reality all they've done is move the problem to another stop on to another day. r.t. paris. to just after being caught on a video saying they can read years as private messages we've got more on that time other stories from the week after this short break to stay with us. work but boy find your year again better because like mine i read part of right here that this was their your choice the tape to go to all kinds of crazy awesome yeah it sure. are experiencing a bit of a fall back. in
3:37 pm
order to overthrow the regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy or both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher level. welcome back that's what the stuff of being caught on camera revealing the company has direct access to and monetizes some of its users most private information
3:38 pm
hidden camera conversations with engineers from the social media giants were conducted by the undercover journalism group project veritas they show even the firm's own employees are paid to be concerned about the level of access the company hence. i mean it's like a little. like it was the. students during the secretly filmed video the twitter employees say that they can read old private direct messages which they call d.m. and that's not the only revelation project virus has made. oh yeah we can actually be here that's kind of spirit that stuff is stored here you know like. you know and that could be it could be shared i mean
3:39 pm
that's the city i'm just with. you to render. a look at. the most you can. find so you can totally accurate yes they'd like to be according. to you right here. because you know you like to see. if. this. was a. story straight or. blame anything but you could see it was. like you know like i mean. you know i mean well you know that they're in here but it was. only you know.
3:40 pm
however in response to the revelations that twit has insisted it doesn't proactively reveal uses private messages but did the house confirmed some employees do have access to them for working purposes now just to point out the group behind the revelations does have a makes reputation it's been accused mostly by those of its who exposed of political bias as well as of acquiring information under false pretenses and selectively editing it however a project very task communications director steven gordon told us that it's twitter that twitter does have a political bias when it down ranks uses for their views. twitter isn't responding to most of this stuff they're putting out statement denial statements they're saying we don't shed a band people what we really do is we think that corners down rank we down rank people what's the difference between it down rank in a shadow band or people being down rank for their political views if people are
3:41 pm
being down drink for their political views how many of them have been downright we want to know more about it people have been writing about it for a long time nobody said prove at least we have people on video admitting to doing it the first statement they put out said the individual was speaking his personal opinion now they had to update that when we put more people out in the same people that were speaking are they going to keep going i mean every every piece of information we have shows that pretty much everybody at twitter is of the same political bias the same political background and it seems like this attitude permeates their entire country company. online streaming giant netflix recently added the iconic ninety's that come friends to it so if that's a new generation of you as a finding it's not. expressing serious reservations about the show so why isn't it standing the test of time and he says that they have been taking a look. the one with the homophobe the sexist and racist intellectual average title
3:42 pm
of a friends episode but according to manuals it could be when netflix announced the award winning sitcom would be uploaded to the streaming service found both new and old were thrilled only instead of enjoying the classic comedy the younger generation have nitpicked reasons to be offended netflix putting friends in the top picks for you suggestions is straight up high in the phobic there is nothing i hate more than ross and milne any episode of friends he's so sexist and homophobic and i just want to jump into the t.v. and strangle him. all the fat monica jokes i remember them so clearly they used to follow me around in my head when i was a teenager and stopped eating things guys friends as more than twenty years ago and view is would have molded the characters changing perceptions of society but apparently in the eyes of manuals the jokes of the an iconic nine thousand have nots aged twelve to twenty nine were not women. so much they can never know yeah
3:43 pm
she did if she. was. then there are bisexuals some just say they're kidding themselves. political correctness has had a massive impact on this generation's shift in taste making a comedian's job even harder to appeal and not offend and for veterans of satire like mel brooks is pretty much that that of comedy we have become stupidly politically correct which is the depth of comedy comedy has to walk through the morning take risks comedy used in very truth was bring into beginnings we're always telling the truth always going to truth about human behavior even talk show hosts are running scared of getting their fingers bent people became so offended at the t.v. host bill moss jokes he introduced this feature. americans have got to learn how to
3:44 pm
take a joke. a few months ago we introduced a segment called explaining jokes to idiots. some comedians have even stopped performing for younger audiences altogether i have no interest in gender or race or anything like that but everyone else is kind of with their little calculating is this the exact right mix the difference between the generations right now is that people are being rewarded on social media for saying that they're offended by things whereas back in the past people just gotta laugh it off or discuss shrug it off or you know turn off the television if they didn't like the show so now the new generation goes on you know twitter or facebook and complains that something is you know offensive to them and you know it it's not it's just funny it's a comedy people need to lighten up and i can't believe that people are now like retroactively saying that they were offended by it will be back at the top of the out on his.
3:45 pm
prescribed medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything with my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some site want one who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do you know we were being responsible and what the real side effects. was is completely altered what i did was. to in the legal drug. just because something sleep doesn't seem. like for many folks over the years so i know the guy even so i got. up. all isn't only about what
3:46 pm
happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager billionaire owners and spending shouldn't twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to do because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so well more transfer. and makes this minute. quite complex.
3:47 pm
fun and welcome to the world of part of europe but not with it for centuries both russia and the united kingdom struggled to define their relationship with continental europe over the last few years both seem to have decided to go their separate ways i mean both seem to be pulled back what does europe think of it and what is europe after all well to discuss that i'm now a joined by julian that the former prime minister of italy and now the country's constitutional court in charge mr martin it's great to talk to thank you very much for your time. now about two years ago you wrote about how a dangerous cultural divide is now growing between russia and the west i wonder if
3:48 pm
your sense of concern has been allayed since then or has it on the contrary intensified. well i don't know whether it turns intensified is certainly it is still there and. the more i think of it the more it seems to me a sort of nonsense economic political and also historical in my view something has happened which we are responsible that has created again in this country in russia this sense of being surrounded by other we don't really want us i mean you as a partner is or allied but somehow that as a was saying are defending themselves against us now these
3:49 pm
goes back to the all the history you will know of this country and makes it an acceptable to make it very clear and short in my view it was a mistake to bring need to directly to the border of russia well i'm sure many people in russia would agree agree with you on that point but i personally don't think that's the only point of contention here but i want to see something that you mentioned in that very same article the point that i haven't heard anyone else make and that is that russia's criticism toward western countries is similar to the gravitas that the jihadist movements a spouse towards the west what made you reach that conclusion you know. the fact there are these identity to have rian culture that is gruelling again inside the russian saul brings
3:50 pm
itself a. distance between. yours and our societies this distance is under the law in the. saud to criticism that is similar to the criticism of mostly integra least people. the west with valueless societies the west materialistic the west against to the holy values around which a community is formed no these go. behind the soldier in it's in the holy notion of the mother russia. and it creates actually a distance this is something that they found the frightening because they diffusion
3:51 pm
of this criticism really creates. a deep gap but it made mr mudd if i may interject here i think this is a very interesting observation i think it's also very true but i would point to what lies at the root of. jihadi sentiment toward the west is not on cultural separation but primarily in this the sounds of and just as the sense of an indignity the bloodshed the suffering that western countries brought in too many arab societies i'm sure they were driven by good intentions the west always things that it's doing the right thing but i think what matters to the affected country is not the intentions but the actual results don't you think that russia has the reason to be concerned at the same kind of do gooding would be visited upon it by the western countries i'm in i see an enormous difference here between the two situations. are you wouldn't deepen these pull into much more the
3:52 pm
needed because if we saw all. problem that exists between us nowadays and it is the ukrainian problem probably all of these differences can be watered down little by little we store ring come on now betty that existed years ago so i don't think that it is necessary really so you know all of us have a dark side the problem is whether we do things that are was to keep it compressed or you mention the dark side and i have lots of friends in the west who believe that russia needs to be saved from the thought that it is sat on spreading your reserves served to be saved from our dire exactly but what the people in the west thing is that russia is trying to spread its vices you know
3:53 pm
corruption nepotism authoritarianism and what the west thinks of itself is that it is spreading its virtuous you know it in the christian history and you are a point this is not my thing is that in the case in the craze of ukraine it is not so because you don't do it that well is resized because it is an example. of that country is not good and is not. protected by russia but the choice that was presented before the ukrainians was either you stay with this dark country to your east the more there russia which is forever due to authoritarianism we're showing our you know western club and they are perfect file is not necessarily so it was simply you are here. the eastern preferred thirty three of the union you can join the union not necessarily can be here in the union though the moment i would say take it easy. i want to song born i can't
3:54 pm
do anything because i'm on. only an old man but i think that solving the problem we have with russia is a priority and reducing the pressure around its border is a priority but of course it's. that three russia has a responsibility now which is also the international law as you well know but i don't want to do the things in these terms simply let us take this idea of the ceasefire seriously this is do it but mr mayor i appreciate you mentioning international law because i think it's this question is absolutely central to the differences between the current challenges that are in russia and the west because the law you know you may argue that the law international law was
3:55 pm
transgressed in ukraine but it was also a transgressed in libya it was also transgressed in iraq i think in syria nobody even pretense that it exists anymore and i'm sure as a constitutional lawyer this issue would be very near and dear to your heart of the law and not only as a mechanism of justice but as a mechanism of restraint how can we bring back their respect to the international law back into international politics so this is a very good question and it implies i suppose this is my britain view should we europeans really adopt a common foreign policy i'm convinced that a common foreign policy would abide international law much more easily as you well know the intervention in libya was designed to one place plus one european countries not the european union it could never have been
3:56 pm
a european initiative but the italy still eagerly participated in it so it's only perhaps when. i have done it either way it's early but. in a sort of the later bombing of triple a or third no it was a sort of third stage but in any event i'm not here to defend the me here to explain to you that when ulterior spinelli and the founding fathers of the utopian idea said we have to fear their way to this day it's what was the reason for it the reason why because as long as they enjoy is clues if so good and they really aggressive to others and they will violate the rules this is continued this pint to the european union mostly because the european union is not sufficiently
3:57 pm
a union in foreign policy what makes you believe that even if your strength and the mechanisms of integration if you make them more formal that there is a tendency as well rain then because there is you know as we know in politics there is always a formal way but when the formal way doesn't work you can always this is not a matter for mallett is this is a matter of sharing decisions and therefore the innate in these decisions oh para teves only after the necessary consensus is being reached around the european union table the decision to attack. libya could not have been taken what can i tell you believe me i have no other because this is a counterfactual history and history is another one but i am still convinced that the third there really. is very useful to reduce their
3:58 pm
aggressive propensity but it was not the head that. if they think it was not an act of aggression i think back in two thousand and eleven it was seen as a humanitarian intervention and it wasn't something good it was basically eliminating gadhafi so you don't think it was dry and spread the european and western values. it was eliminating good there is an opinion here in russia that one of the reasons why the united states and to some extent western europe make the four positive such as that they make is that because they have been following insulated from the consequences of those decisions now europe obviously is no longer insulated from its policy from the consequences of its foreign policy in the middle east and north africa you're dealing with lots of migrants coming into your country it is putting a serious challenge to you and compounding many of the challenges that you face at the moment do you think that may in a way sober up the decision making when it comes to international politics at least
3:59 pm
as far as the european if you need the most amount to lose we're not still in and so successful as we are in economic this is and so we have been successful in. individual rather in the spreading them on an equal be to all over where member station you become a victim of your own success in that way not to talk we have not been successful in internation of the matter so that's the point this is where nation. has remained but it is so clear when we needed to fix it up and we adopted the old suit you so tube gear is. the mission the politics remained is approved of the member states i mean it's not normal
4:00 pm
why because there. external relationships of the community and the foreign policies of the individual member states and the poor high representative have to be has to be present both the so this is not a success as these are a difficult compromise immigration is one of these areas where from outside people tend to see europe as a sort of unique single land this makes the single very difficult with countries like italy and greece that are the gates as we say of you dope but are forced to behave as if the immigrants lending both thing reason they need.
