time bombs that can be used in terror plots inside the country peter oliver reports well. said the children all german parents who went off to join isis in iraq syria pose a potential security threat when or if they return back here to germany in fact he went as far as to refer to them in some cases as ticking time bombs they were confronted early with islamic state ideology learned to fight and were in some cases forced to participate in the abuse of prisoners or even the killing of prisoners we have to consider that these children could be living time bombs there is a danger that these children come back brainwashed with a mission to carry out attacks or mustn't also went on to say that there was a whole network of online i use this headhunters looking to recruit and radicalize potentially vulnerable children islamic state uses headhunters who scour the internet for children that can be approached and tries to radicalize these children

were recruited children for terrorist attacks it's no wonder that germany is concerned the country has seen a number of mine is involved in terrorist attacks over the last couple of years most notably there was a case back in twenty sixteen when a twelve year old boy tried to blow up a christmas market in the west of the country and the german government figures showed that around a thousand people left the country to go and joy in isis now around one third of those have returned back to germany but the government also points out they have no way of knowing how many children are being born to those those germans that went off to join isis and how many potentially could come back to the country and pose a threat but that prompted mohsin to say that he thought that the security services should be given the right to launch surveillance operations against mine is in germany that's anybody under the age of. fourteen years old that though of course

comes with its own issues a particularly sensitive topic talking about launching why it tops and other types of surveillance operation against children not young. turning our attention to the u.s. now where murder rates in the city of baltimore skyrocketed in twenty seventeen with fifty six killings per one hundred thousand people a new record for a city that already has a reputation for being dangerous and crime ridden. q. cities in body american urban decay more depressingly than the city of baltimore baltimore struggles with a record high murder rate. murder people. yes baltimore there is a robust active crime strategy.

working. well it all comes to morehouse being rocked by the ongoing trials and one of america's biggest police corruption scandals they go task force on the group of plain clothes officers were supposed to be reducing violence and crime however it seems they have actually been adding to it six out of eight members of the group have pleaded guilty to charges of organized crime including extortion and drug dealing are some your account has been across the story. the baltimore police

department is now involved in one of the biggest scandals and us law enforcement history for months now the court system has been trying to investigate corruption within the city's police force eight officers are on trial over drug trafficking racketeering robbery and planting fake evidence like drugs and. we would create false reports to cover up the robberies we were involved in. it was like a well if life were got to weigh with a lot of things if proven guilty the officers and may face twenty to one hundred years in prison and six of them have already pleaded guilty and are now acting as witnesses in hopes of softening the moving verdict and their lawyers claim the officer still guilt over what they've done mr jenkins is extremely remorseful he's been remorseful for a long time even before these charges were brought and he's relieved that today finally he was publicly able to accept responsibility for their client sorry for

what they did or should. be so you see regretful of what what happened i really don't have any comment meanwhile officers cases continue to be dismissed with hundreds under review and most of them involve incidents of officer switching off their body cameras to plant drugs or guns and then reenact seizing the evidence they had already planted. well the police corruption trial is ongoing in baltimore we will be following it to its conclusion here on the program still to come this hour u.s. military bases in japan are once again in focus as a city in okinawa gets ready to choose a new leader we'll bring in the details after this short break. currency market itself is still on track to eclipse the global banking oleg obviously which is what we need what we want and i've always said it's

a bank starkiller that's the primary use of bed point of the purse. joining me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to press. you to go on to be press this is what the. three of them can't be good. i'm interested in the white house. question.

seventeen minutes into the program welcome back a libyan man who lost his whole family in a nato earth raid is planning to take his fight for justice to the european court of human rights he say's the alliance dropped two bombs all in his house during its military intervention in the country in twenty eleven. now we demand that we need to explain why our house and other houses were showing all the military targets i don't understand why nato targeted our house sadly my dear wife died as well as my cousins my innocent children and our neighbors our friends were there with those it was a monstrous crime and nato has the latest equipment and technology which allows them to accurately determine the targets of the nato cross struck specifically at night when people were in their home while they intentionally hit civilian targets hospitals schools gas stations they destroyed all the infrastructure while they

were killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure apparently knowing there were no weapons there. well you can see here on the market where the nato attack took place mentioned thirteen people were killed in the bombardment including three children he says his house may have been targeted because his father was a general who served under libya's former leader moammar gadhafi but how they'd say it was just a family home not a legitimate target he began his justice battle back in twenty twelve but has failed an opp ill struggle to actually get his case heard in court nato which enjoys it the greed of legal immunity in such cases argues that it had no intelligence suggesting civilians were in the house at the time of the strike however khalid sees his lawyers have no find a way of challenging the protections afforded to the alliance and he hopes his case

will set a precedent for others who also lost their families. when we gathered our families in different parts of libya we found a man whose wife of the daughter and son as well as his mother died during the shelling there were other families in other cities a lot of families we compiled a report from all identified victims after having documented in photograph the material so that this case could become a historical precedent. campaigning for the my oral elections in the japanese city of nagual hers again highlighted the controversial nature of america's military presence on our island japan central government under thorough okinawa where u.s. troops are currently stationed i've been doing battle over the possible relocation of their base to the northern city of nigel a recent poll shows sixty three percent of voters oppose the relocation while only twenty percent support the move the

incumbent mayor of this city who opposes america's the placement of troops to the island so he's a vote for him would be a vote for defending japan's autonomy so these elections are extremely important as they will have a great impact on the future of now go and our country's current administration is attacking us with attempts to sway the power these elections are meant to defend japanese democracy and our autonomy we're asking people from all over the country for their understanding is in a difficult situation right now but if many people support us we will continue what we do well in one thousand nine hundred eighty six a review by japan and the us decided the american base should be relocated to the remote area of hinako the decision was made in order to reduce the military impact on the populated communities of southern iraq an hour but there has since been numerous crimes committed in relation to the us military presence there.

well activists in okinawa believe the japanese government has been turning a blind eye to the tense situation playing in the region. now current mayor misstating i mean it is a really strong body refusing the it could have nation of the day but another candidate is a buck deputy by japanese central government so he agrees.

over there in the new meeting face in his most the will people who are against the new media the best course direction is government job was government hungry ignoring voice against democracy and against the decision if the. accept me they base they can get the money we need the citizens who know the troops the facts really own worried japan's government the saint who sent the. ministers money and ima go all the mccall. the fake news of but we will let loose we will be in. well that's our news for now are the hour examines show is just about to begin here in r.t. international stay with us and i'll be back in just over half an hour's time with

all the global news updates from our team h.q. in moscow. hey everybody i'm stephen barbee got to ask hollywood guy. out american first off and just george bush in our view do you see this is my buddy famous financial guru well he's a little bit different i've. the winner with no doubt with all the drama happening in our country and. every day americans. would be sure to bridge that gap this is the great american people.

alone welcome to alter part of the current presidential campaign in russia has featured there recreate a number of contenders most of whom statistically have little chance of challenging the incumbent and that's not only because of flooding approach and still down visible approval ratings but also because after eighteen years of his leadership the prospect of power transition in russia looks increasingly precarious if not put them home and watch to discuss that i'm now joined by senior subchapter candidate in the two thousand and ten russian presidential election sr it's great to talk to

thank you very much for timing now when you an ounce you're kind of this is a few months ago you position yourself as a protest candidate you said on a number of occasions that you do not intend or do not plan to win i wonder if your strategy has changed in any way perhaps to include something more than just getting the protest mode well first i want i want to command on what you said about if not then who i think is what and what yeah i think very important thing that this question by itself is. to know where it's it's not a good question and not right question to ask because it doesn't matter who if not putin i would love anyone to be on his place but the most important thing is them to change every four letter strongly disagree with you because i think the russian history shows that the power transition is

a very very precarious no mystery russian history shows that we don't have experience of democratic rule that's why most important power transition is a change every four years it doesn't matter who they are even if they're not that effective as putin the most important thing is that they should change every four years and they can only be two times for their lifetime so what i fight for is that the whole system now in russia's elections is unfair putin weaves not because he has a big support but because no one else can go on free t.v. and say what they want to know you how to have these different sheets of it and if i may vary your back to my own it is show sorry i can have only for this complaint time when i talk about free media i talk about totally the same level of different opinions for years and now we can see eighteen years of only one

position on all the federal channels and russia standing in miami maddest probably i actually agree with you on many of those points i'm not arguing with that but i want to bring it back to my original question and that is whether you at this point of time whether you're aiming for something more than just a protest vote do you want to be that of anyone else as you just pointed out i want to show people russia that there is another point of view this is the goal of my compay i know you can't win on the elections where only putin always wins so there is no sense of talking what would be if i would win i will never we known below. shows like in the casino where all always casino weans my goal is to speak to the russians no federal channels because it's the only opportunity in morden russia to speak to them during the presidential campaign because off to come pain and before company in the shop those doors so. to speak and tell them the truth this is

a rare opportunity engagement ring to make this opportunity common for them well speaking about the truth because i think many of the issues that you raise i think they're pretty much in line with what the current administration preaches for example putting himself on many occasions that russia needs more competition both political but gives it can only it's no you can say between look truth and lies are spoken by the same words but people always feel one person first truthful through feeling or he is so you are you are when he says i want to conquer and it's a lie because if he wants conference why he doesn't let i'll explain the violent take the this in competition because there is a lawsuit but you created this lawsuit not to get him it is only my point isn't it and it's not only preaching to his administration ministers for example they say russian governance is not very efficient it's too bureaucratized believes there's

nothing they just agree with something people ready see the meaning of what you mean or do what makes it different is different because you guys didn't mention preceded this is not at all the difference is huge and this difference is what we call real concubines because what i see and become crazy musician by congress i mean competition if putin is really for competition i want him to take part in debates as all the leaders of the world he doesn't debate for eighteen years with any of his opponents he only speaks with giorno us and the. this is the only idea or question and i'll say he gives but i don't like this idea i want to argue with mr putin i want not only to have his answer but i want to ask additional question and additional question to every key is i don't have the support you need to know and no one has a country and this is not fair but only the least see my lack of debates we can

say that those the elections are not fair i want to see the same debates i saw trump with hillary clinton but i don't think that wrong under but i don't know why i don't why i didn't if he's not afraid because this is a political tradition in our tradition this is a bad tradition if we're talking about democracy and mr putin many times said that russia is a democratic state in all democratic states and that i'm a political it is i'm quite sure in what i'm saying there exists a tradition of debates and putin was asked many times to take part in those debates and he never does so this is not fair if he really wants computing ok now all the facts your social eleanor here for eighteen years i'm just a little blonde girl you know coming from the u.k. . and have to balance with me i'm not you know i don't want someone who is so much less than you that you would have been led astray give about yourself because you

made your criticism of putin very clear but let's leave some time but this is my campaign isabeau my campaign is not about me oh my life i am going to give you an easy way out of that because you know i haven't you are i'm way is only to show that those people should not be there this is actually what i know they you know now i mean these are not the boxing assault my campaign is candid it against all i've seen you. do going to ask a few questions about yourself you said for example just the other day. governing class you view governing class as hard professionals and i agree with you on done. the read the people hard for those professionals to do the job for us and yet you yourself you have no governing this experience from what i know you have no major managerial experience you don't not have the experience of making decisions under stress and under sometimes competing so much stress during raids in my life i had so much anyhow not having started again i'm asking her professional experience of

making decisions if you feel you believe in running the country on the professional basis what makes you qualified for the position that you're running delivering that my country should be run by professional managers and by both mesh and old but president is not a person who is doing you know some experts work as well remember he's responsible for making decision that was said that a president should be you know one field expert president is someone who in my point of view is the government teat of constitution in the russian governing a president has the military and i'm very sad for the interview because you haven't read my program as you know in my program the first point i make that i am against presidential republic i want to problem enter republican russia and in parliamentary republic of the main and all the biggest function of president is

a gun t. of constitution so. god's will were not professionals but they were one of the best leaders of the world to my point of view because they were brave enough to go out to people and say look i want to unite you all and i think what we're doing is right and what they are doing is wrong so i want to this is an example for me i am a person who wants to go in t. that the constitution written by my father by the way will be really go and teach in this country and i want parliament to decide all the important. laws from my concho why what you are saying is that their parliament has to be professional but for the president the president was nice a bit we don't need presidential republic we don't need one person's rule a president should be at. times and she. will disagree with like survival of government was not a professional as you know when he became

a president he was not a politician he once said i'm not a politician i'm just a person who cares so i'm i'm also a person who cares and in the state where politics was killed all the professionals were suppressed so that they couldn't take part in politics if their position is so in this situation now we just need brave people who are not afraid so now i'm just a brave person who says look i'm not afraid and unfortunately this is already enough now to go and fight for power because all the people really afraid of what's going on in project there they are suffering with fear that's why those professionals who should rule they're sitting at home their doors locked and they're fraid of the government so they don't go out on the streets they don't vote if they're one of those if you through the streets just yesterday but you know you know this is not true a good look we all live in they do this in your sleep you know mine they are now

they are going to go on the streets because she says streets younger than because the government didn't approve this meetings and they said everywhere if you go out you will put into police you just use nail flying i said people took to the streets not that the government approved of that. regardless of that deep you know what does one do mean regardless of unconstitutional people you can just see is that on sunday you supported your former associate in the ways and here's really propaganda does i will explain you by finger so they say look people didn't go out to mistreats and when i say try to say that they didn't go out on the suits not. because there are not so many people who say that they that he hates dick cheney strange sort of people went on the streets only two thousand people it's really not going there in the few hundreds of thousands of people in russia would love to go on the streets but they're not allowed because government so i think if you go in there. if you go three years if you hear them credit for in jail this is what

government always says they don't give sanction to those meetings they say no this is not confirmed as a meeting so they do everything to make people frightened all of them what do you hold. and let me give you all it's of our country and for taking him out of the politics of our country one of your very consistent criticisms of the current government is that it hasn't done something for example it hasn't rained in corruption there hasn't invested in the long hard hydrocarbon industry hasn't done much of that but this is the same argument. decision due argument could be equally apply to you and not apply here. you haven't run in and. you haven't started an innovative disney you haven't done much in the way of public service i have started fortunately don't know much about me because i had started an innovative business i am doing i have a big agency who works in the internet selling advertisement selling.

why i should do something for public service if i only begin my political that is my question of why would you if you take your ways seriously i don't she successfully businessman in my process i had my restaurants which i ruled for many years and got a good revenues for that i made to be a socialist on an advertisement i sold it because i went to my political career so my political career is only starting and i hope on this way to make a lot of things and i don't think it's quite correct tosk the same things of a businessman ksenia sobchak who was doing business and successful business for many years and from presidents who should be doing i'm not comparing you but your way are you saying these things could be applied to me was this a me i did a doing or didn't do can you do it for ten years economy of the country but i was

not to attend if you have been running downhill for example you mean i was doing my own business and if you didn't hear run for the position of the president i would assume maybe i'm wrong that it requires a certain degree of public involvement of the daleks service i'm sorry in the country which is autocratic like russia that only one quality you need to run for president is one quality that i would say no vali and i share the braveness because people who go against putin the end their life in prison and you know this for sure so. to be highly developed you know. manager this is unfortunately not enough now you have to be brave and ask to those people like me will great this wall of autocracy that those managed this can come out and rule and this is my goal i don't want to say it was i want to break this wall over to create a crusade ok except for the time being we have to take

a very very short break but to build it back in just a few moments. here's what people have been saying about rejected and then it was to us it actually was full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch just leave it yeah it is the john oliver of our three americas good to see and we are apparently better than blue nothing better to see people you've never heard of love right down to the next president of the world bank very soon because you are seriously send us an e-mail.

welcome back to worlds apart texting use of check a candidate in the two thousand and eighteen russian presidential election and saying just before the break you mentioned the name of alexina. i assume a former friend of yours was precluded from running in this elections and his supporters. took to the streets in this series of unsanctioned rallies just the other day apparently you didn't make much of it but i think that it was a notable event and they defied the government several times in the it's only it was only two thousand people it's not all this i guess ok well you given that things are a. sanctioned this is what i mean given that you're running a lavish theory that he just went out without condoms and let people go on the streets and then the say so not so he's saying the two thousand are no no support of a position start wasn't of people would go out and you're arguing with yourself now because i said that people took to the streets and you earlier denied that they were trying to argue the rest of the streets they took two thousand.
