1:03 pm
injured so far we're not sure how serious today's incident is but the numbers haven't even been confirmed yet so we're just going to have to wait to hear from authorities. the u.s. is no joining in the chorus of growing concern coming out of europe over foreign fighters returning to their home shores washington urged to its allies particularly britain to pay more attention to citizens who fled europe to join the terrorist organization earlier the u.k. defense secretary said they should not be allowed to return home i don't think they should ever set food in this country again they turned their back on britain use everything we stand for their wars over the wars we're working with the coalition on foreign fighter detainees and generally expect these detainees to return to their country of origin for disposition. another british official suggested extreme
1:04 pm
measures be taken the minister for international development said several months ago that the only way to deal with returning fighters was to kill them for fighters of u.k. origin who come home are facing prison sentences while some other european countries have tried to reintegrate former ice or fighters back into society in denmark. even receive department son jobs to promote reintegration well earlier we heard opposing views from our guests on how to deal with returning journalists initially britain said we're going to make them stateless remove their passports not going to allow them reentry other countries then said let's take a more light approach some of the nordic nations said let's try to repatriate them have count radicalization programs which in part have actually been quite successful in some areas at the same time then the u.s. is now taking the lead and the u.s. defense said foreign countries need to repatriate their own citizens and deal with
1:05 pm
them using the rule of law and i think that's a sensible way to go they should not come back here it's just simply because they've committed the crimes abroad so why should the taxpayers foot the bill for all this rehabilitation and all this. probably the do in jail for quite a while that cost more money when these crimes are being committed a court let the authorities deal with them under the rule of law in them. you know there are lots of different stories about what happens to these people if we make them stateless stenciling they will stay out there they will keep breeding extremism terrorism and radicalization and they'll keep killing and they'll keep hating us so we have it's a problem have to deal with you can't hide from it you cannot fall back on this british passport so you know i committed atrocities abroad but all for we british possible into the mix so we'll get back oh no how do we know people have committed crimes without putting the evidence in front of them and putting them on trial just to assume people went out there so i don't want to go on it i am here in london regularly on trial here. no i mean i don't regularly well these are way but
1:06 pm
obviously the the un is so weak. the e.u. again is so weak just nonexistent the should have. and should have the un peacekeeping forces making safe and so we could properly categorize these people rather than so ok these people go in to fight for whichever side these people fight . against evil but now because the fight for the cure is to be classed as tell us here it becomes a ridiculous situation in russia generally the most dangerous form of this are imprisoned there in the past a number did join the radicalization programs which no clothes or one case has come to light now in russia their former fighter say's he escaped the terror group and turned himself in to the russian security services he then face trial in russia but was later released the court explained that he was never involved in combat and also cooperated with the investigation after admitting his guilt r.t. managed to speak with him about his time in syria. we're going to go from
1:07 pm
government i got interested and started reading forums and watching video online i was given a phone number of a person who could help me get to syria here is sure me that those who came could leave it any time and no one would be kept there but they immediately took away our documents and telephones it was a shock for me i felt helpless everything was different from what they told me. well in syria he lost a leg in strike before finally deciding to flee he's now working closely with security services and has been shown a certain amount of leniency you're able auction was one of the thousands of russians who went to syria and iraq to choice. after an explosion i lost my sight and felt a sudden pain i realized my leg had been torn off i had surgery. and went through rehabilitation at the same time they were making
1:08 pm
a prosthetic leg for me while i was lying in the hospital people came up to me and tried to convince me to become a suicide bomber and they said that i anyway had no leg what else could i do i couldn't refuse directly it could have caused a suspicion. i was first overcome with joy while on a bus in turkey and only once i was in russia did i realize i had managed to escape and i went to the f.s.b. department and wrote a confession i decided that it would be better i was interrogated a lot and i told them the whole story now i have a new family i married a russian muslim girl i work at a construction company and still stick to islam but i don't want to go to mosques anymore i want to avoid questions. right turning our attention to the u.k. and its planned exit from the european union the british foreign secretary boris
1:09 pm
johnson has been giving an update on the divorce that will see ations with the u. which many have criticized for lack of progress laura smith brings us more in the story. this is the first in a series of six speeches to be made by cabinet members in the next three weeks boris johnson has opened this series of speeches in titled road to bret's it and it was an address aimed at persuading people who do think that leaving the e.u. is a very good idea that it's actually all about hope and opportunity but in the same breath saying that reversing that decision would be a very bad idea here here is a fear that some people are becoming ever more determined to stop brics it to reverse the referendum vote of june twenty third twenty sixteen and to frustrate the will of the people i believe that would be a disastrous mistake that would lead to permanent and in the radical feelings of betrayal he's identified three main fears that people who don't want to leave the e.u. have they talk about security the fear that it would cost the u.k.
1:10 pm
address to fend for itself they talk about it being a pulling up of the drawbridge that breaks it is synonymous with xenophobia and also of course economic worries that britain would be worse off outside the single market and the customs union so johnson this morning tried to address those fears in turn the consensus is a speech that as i say was long on what full and slightly off color jokes but very short on detail which is arguably what might make some remain as change their minds about bret's it on twitter of course opposition m.p.'s were very quick to point this out yvette cooper said that with thirteen months to go what we need is this is a not bluster and david lammy made a similar point we've heard it all before a few bad jokes and a few long words even boris himself was sounding a little bit desperate by the end he hears under a hail of questions from journalists enough of your sweet nothings with the clarity do you think that you are the right person to be reaching out to to those remaining
1:11 pm
do you worry that this uncertain approach breaks it the we're feeding this country is because we have a pm who won't social vote for it today some of the anger that a few. remain is has come from your own government i accept that this morning i'm not going to. persuade everybody but i've got to i've got to try and i've got to make the effort because in the end these are people's feelings and people's feelings matter two questions remain that were also asked today's media conference and that is whether boris is the man to deliver this message and of course whether it's actually too little too late. moving on severe weather conditions prompted the evacuation of olympic park in south korea and witnessed the spectators were asked to go indoors and a number of events were postponed a strong winds forced our thora to use to dismantle information tents it was in the eye of the storm for us. some very serious wind issues in this part of south korea
1:12 pm
we saw earlier on wednesday for the first few days of the olympics people were complaining about the cold and then when it finally got warmer some unbearable wind gusts here just a few hours ago i was working outside the coastal olympic park in the end and we had to stop filming every other minute because it was almost impossible to work but the volunteers have to stay outside and i even saw one of them being carried away and then taken away by an ambulance so there have definitely already been n.g.'s because of the high winds i saw the temporary tents with the merchandise being blown away fences falling things falling off the roofs and the trees so that is the reason obviously why the fans were being told to stay indoors but again the volunteers they just have to continue doing their job so it remains incredibly
1:13 pm
dangerous for them obviously this kind of weather is a headache for the athletes and the organizers and a number of sporting events have already been postponed including al bundy and skiing and biassed lawn speaking of my own duties here n.p.r. chang i just want to show you a few funny moments that happened to our crew a little earlier because of that very same high wind. who would say this kind of thing would. work just let's wait until the wind is a bit slower. just like. it's a hard thing to suspect that. it's a hard. the first name. for. the
1:14 pm
u.s. secretary of state is on a trip in the middle east and one topic is dominating is talks will tell you all but thoughts after this. seemed wrong all along just don't call. me old yet to say proud this day comes to educate and indeed for many equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or
1:15 pm
rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. that you'd like to be for us this is what will befall us three in the morning can't be good that. i'm interested always in the waters of. the ship. a quarter of an hour into the program you're very welcome back america's top diplomat has assured his middle eastern country parts that donald trump this isn't to recognize jerusalem as these really capital will not affect the city's borders or holy sites rex tillerson gave those assurances only relations building tour across the middle east so important to note that when president truman made his
1:16 pm
decision regarding the jurors he also made two very important points as well one of which was. where he was not advocating for any changes to the status quo as to oversee the holding holy sites and secondly he made clear that the positions on the final boundaries are borders of jerusalem is a matter that's left for the parties to negotiate and discuss well back in the center president trump threw his support behind israel's claims over the city of jerusalem saying that the u.s. would move its embassy there from tel aviv the move was condemned by world leaders and the united nations and started a violent protests around the globe. i. was
1:17 pm
. really. ready. when we spoke to palestinian politician dimitri dillon me to tell or since trip will help improve relations with countries already younger by trump's move. this is doesn't go beyond a public relations effort after the the mess that was caused by trump's decision on declaration on drugs from back in december i don't think he will be successful he is known to be a lightweight in the us foreign policy especially pertaining to the middle east as he admitted himself the peace plan that he talks about and it's only he have seen it he have seen points of it that these are his words so in other words the
1:18 pm
secretary of state has no idea what he's talking about. also on other side we know that how donald trump runs his white house he runs it like a corporation and he is only one with the ideas his own want to take credit for everything but he will push failure on everybody else and i believe that tillotson is involvement at this point that just seeing case something goes bust which things are going that way in that direction in the middle east history when it comes to the peace process or the non-existent peace process i think tillerson is here just to get the blame later on that's all. back to europe and in front of almost two thousand known citizens who travel to join islamic state in the middle east intelligence sources say that sixty seven came from one particular part a suburb reporting from there this hour charlotte tube and ski. a short train ride

from paris is trapped on the surface there's nothing much to set it aside from the thousands of other towns in the country but you don't have to scratch very deep to see that trap is very different where you won't see any. butcher shops there were i think at the moment over fifteen hundred prayer rooms and five mosques if you look at people on the street you won't see couples holding hands you'll see the women are dressed in strict islamic dress. there's a lot of home schooling so you couldn't really consider trap. typical french town anymore it's a little bit like a state within the state for decades it's been considered a magnet for muslim fundamentalists hardline salafism and wahhabi islam a widely practiced and trap has become synonymous with jihadism. and dozens of people. islamic state i was have carried out attacks on french soil have
1:20 pm
been linked. in two thousand and six the while with her right appears to. think that. there is some plain white pride. bad but your heart is only a matter of time before we have another attack the basic problem is that the ideology that's driving this and this goes much deeper than terrorist cells planning and executing attacks that ideology is so ingrained that last year a poll of french high school students revealed thirty two percent of muslim students believed islamic doctrine was superior to scientific fact another in two thousand and sixteen showed that sixty eight percent believed islamic law was superior to french law there's also concern that in an area like this that was once branded. by the authorities. syria is the coming of the lands.

this is a boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm partial to. coming up we'll talk markets in the wake of recent meltdowns both asian european and u.s. markets hillary for which and melissa are most join us to discuss now let's get to the stories topping today's headlines the trump interior department is now thirty latest attempt to repeal or rule that prevents emissions of methane and extremely potent greenhouse gas by oil and gas corporations operating on federal lands the bureau of land management b.l.m. within the interior department has estimated that the rule could prevent one hundred eighty thousand tons of methane emissions from going into the atmosphere every year that reduction in greenhouse pollution would have the same effect as taking nine hundred fifty thousand cars off the road methane is twenty five times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and about a third of all u.s. methane emissions are caused by oil and gas operations interior first two attempts
1:27 pm
to repeal face continue court challenges the latest attempt will be subject to a sixty day comment period after publication in what is called the federal register where we can all read about it. and stock markets in asia rallied today as some sense of stability returned after last week's market meltdown while tokyo hong kong and shanghai led a strong advance across asia and vester has continued to be anxious especially had a key us inflation data to be released wednesday some of the some of those concerned that such data could spark further volatile market moves almost anything could european stocks have seen a robust recovery also following the worst week in two years bringing back the bullish sentiment which has been buoyed this year by strong economic indicators and company quarterly reports the pan european stocks europe six hundred index rallied
1:28 pm
one point two percent including eighty seven percent of the stocks that make up the europe six hundred closing in positive territory plus other stocks stock exchanges in germany france and the u.k. each rose by more than one percent. just a little over a week ago markets were shaken to their core the dow jones industrial average lost more than fifteen hundred points in just a single day why u.s. investors felt the burn what was going on overseas in europe and asian markets well here to give us some more insight as hillary for president and founder of mark henry thank you for being with us again we're really pleased to have you what's going on in the rest of the world as we were in the middle of this market meltdown well great to be back well i think there were actually waves of while the rest of the world tends to follow the u.s. and i would say that you know volatility bring volatility and that's what we face
1:29 pm
now when did asia seems to recover as reported and that they have lines and europe was on a i think they broke a six day losing streak is there something specific over there that they're following u.s. markets only is there something else going on well couple of things first of all. so in terms of when you say european stocks as henry kissinger used to say he says they all believe in one europe when there's one phone number to call so don't forget we got a foot see the docks and then there's the stock market as many other stock markets you know but in general just always the the guiding for what is europeans of that much more conservative so they don't seem to have the gyrations and the great fluctuations we do but they tend to follow us that's the way to really look at it and they follow us and i agree but they they follow us with a head of us in the trading every day so day they opened they were open earlier times only thing but don't forget they look at the futures after the dow closes then there are the futures and they look at that and they follow our sentiments and
1:30 pm
our generations and don't forget in europe too you know debt is a downer over there as well you know one of the things that i think people don't realize and part of this is actually due to t.v. is that stock exchanges which are pretty much traded electronically now but they have television studios and so they want to ring the bell and they want to show the traders on the floor but ninety percent of most trading in stock markets around the world are done electronically a lot of it by algorithms so the other thing that people don't realize in tandem with that is that markets are actually trading after hours all the time so even though the european stocks are open earlier than the u.s. they're watching the u.s. it's twenty four seven three sixty five markets these days isn't it really doesn't stop yes and then you know the dow closes at four then you think about you know we're twelve hours ahead in asia so they're already there so that has an impact and then also don't forget so they're getting up in the same what happened then they have the dow futures on top of that and europe gets up a little bit later so they're watching asia and.
