so they're going to send me. i will depend differently because abdul barry was a front line in ten percent with british forces in afghanistan from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten. i know that if i join the british forces. for me but i have to cross our country once. the situation in our country was very bad so i have to help the international forces to protect other countries so they came to my country to protect us so why should i not hopeless but working with u.k. troops made abdul it's hard for local taliban forces that was a phone call from my from my father and a letter put in my door so you know that your son is working for the infidels so tell him to leave the job otherwise you'll be slapped are the threats soon turned to violence when the taliban raided on my family getting up my father and my mom and my dad so on that time and that happened he was completely angry and all the

problems happened to me just because of you creating problems for us with his and his family's lives in danger abdul was forced to flee i did i had enough time to go and see this for protection or something like only tice was for me one choice to leave the country he came to britain illegally through cali and applied for asylum on the very first day since then the home office has rejected his initial application and his appeal the government says it's safe for abdul to return to kabul where he says his life is in danger that was. ours and justice. because when i word help the british forces in a very risky time but at the moment i'm at risk so i need help but this still ignoring me. as an asylum seeker abdul can't work and this is the modest

accommodation that the government provides for him he also gets thirty five pounds a week in living expenses and he has the constant threat of deportation looming over. him there are around a thousand afghan interpreters that worked with british forces around four hundred of them have been given u.k. visas which means abdul is one of around six hundred who haven't qualified the system has been described as unfair and a lot of. abdul's best friend matt managed to win hashmarks applied for his visa while still in afghanistan and after a two year wait he was brought over to the u.k. under the government's official afghan interpreter scheme do you feel guilty sometimes that you got the visa and abdul didn't buy one visa for everything to those who spend time over the taleban is under seventy per cent not going to see your most powerful be able to be this searching for people. that they worked with.

for me. but not before so. if you want to get back in afghanistan abdul was a professional boxer he can't compete in the u.k. because he doesn't have a work permit but he can still train since i came here he can do nothing to staying at home going out sometimes they keep him busy with my turnings you googled market the woman you're human being. told you very. few of the challenging part. of the work that. you'll be told me but i have a full. view of the rugby. for which you would go to people we would trust the rules and if we. were made above we were all abdul can

do now is wait for his final appeal against deportation to be considered to by the home office. yes the problems are five in afghanistan and i have had the same cause there was a big third for me the taliban. i have a very bad depression my depression is getting worse so i'm very about my life and nothing could happen to me. i see greater manchester officially the u.k. government says it investigates every claim of intimidation and considers all cases on an individual basis we've put forward a case to a number of organizations to focusing on human rights including amnesty international for hearing back from them but that specific case will of course keep you posted on it. next there are two unusual teams of this year's winter olympics one of the united squad from north and south korea competing as one for the first time in twelve years is big news what's being widely seen as

a positive sign that relations could be warming between them of course the other team is a limb pick athletes from russia known as away are taking part under a neutral flag after the doping scandal that hit the official team there are some spectators whether they recognized the rebranding of russia's athletes or not. it will take a long while for russian athletes journalists like myself that i can tell you first sure to forget the acronym oh a r after chang twenty eight inc well just before the winter games a group of russian designers thought they could take advantage of the international olympic committee's language sanctioned. i put one of those on myself and decided to walk around near the olympic park a little bit. what kind of

team did people with this kind of sweatshirt support. growth sure. it's a limb take it half really believes he can beat the russians north koreans are doing north korea russia the russians the food we be here because they don't care if you lose a limb to. something with a limp think athletes of russia what would you chant if you were annoying our team supporter. oh we come from really. bush. leg you see what some people say a russian animal can make it sound like that there you go a russian bear siberian tiger i fear was. fear will make it sound when it's hungry. for gold medals well judging by the first

few days of the winter olympics the russian fans have chosen to stick to the more traditional chants and symbols. here we have a train go r t n. well despite it all most of atmosphere their bit different of the shoulders you can see last night with the football thousands of french football fans rampaged through the spanish capital on wednesday at a crunch game between real madrid in paris and your man in the champions league. the. french fans set off flares of fireworks close to their opponents stadium the match was judged high risk so riot police were on hand and mobilized

mounted police escorted supporters to the venue until it that much ended with a three one win from the trade with the return leg in paris set for the beginning of march eighteen minutes past five bosco time hi thanks for being with r.t. international a lot more to come in this half hour of news including thousands of tweets that have been revealed in the u.s. by a major news broadcaster there again flagging up alleged russian meddling tell you all about that anymore. the protocol is hard coded. the world as we know it and those trying to get their way will be destroyed by it but those who want to come on board like a friendly regulator that's ok. a bit wary though you know it's the classic good cop bad cop so there you go you know when regular he wants the government it comes with the gift you have to be a little leery. put

themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go on to be pro-choice this is what was before three of the more people. interested always in the water. again so an american news outlet has released a database of tweets allegedly sent by russians to influence the outcome of the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election and b c news boasted about recovering some two hundred

thousand post in fact of the type of twitter in its crusade on going against the crowd his alleged reach on social media claiming that the information came from sources that remain anonymous it also gave an open invitation for people to use its findings to quote shine a light on the persistent threat to democracy. macauley culkin brave but led to investigate how malicious and how fastidious this russian scoop when he was. well of course there are a number of tweets on the list that either support or specifically against hillary clinton the opposite of that is also true you can find in the mix tweets in favor of clinton encouraging people to vote for her but that also comes with along with attacks on trump himself everything we've worked toward comes down to today this if you're voting for hillary big ego trump gets caught in yet another line this time about his inauguration bit of everything is all about the election no many are

completely off topic focusing instead on the hard hitting woes of sleeping in your contacts of the dislike for alarm clocks i fell asleep with my contacts in i had to get up to take them out right quick now awake that alarm clock. what's happening in genetics is jaw dropping we've also been told that twitter bots have been used to promote inflammatory tweets to get messages to divide people in the country and yet you can also find among this database tweets that are calling for peaceful solutions for unity in the country referring to black lives matters protests so it's all in there but the real cherry on the top of this whole story is the fact that there are a number of anti russia tweets in this list and a lot of them are really interesting they're going on about how russian hackers were involved in the election how heller warned us against trump russia collusion and how those ties must be investigated let's take a listen to some of the best hits of what they are whether to be found in their

user tweet to demand that house jewel be do its job and then that's to get drawn brushing ties things you can't ignore a russian plunge as your next president of the united states some americans have been subtly radicalized by groups russian propaganda to electronic perhaps the biggest threat and those are supposed to be tweets that are coming from accounts that are linked to the kremlin it just doesn't quite fit together and the internet is of course it's just a very divisive place everybody has their opinions and everybody feels free to post them there so this database really just does feel like a roundup of the typical things that you can find on twitter. well obviously news was recently accused of false reporting its coverage of alleged russian interference a cyber security chief from u.s. home security who was interviewed for its report slammed the network indeed for misrepresenting her words you check this out of them police are targeting of twenty one states and an exceptionally small number of that twenty one were actually

successfully patrick willis is pretty clear what she was saying there jeanette manfred clearly saying hackers targeted the states and got access to an exceptionally small number of systems but n.b.c.'s headline read that quote russians had penetrated u.s. voters systems changing her words the network stands by its report insisting it was accurate and has not made any corrections to. the french president's own course to take another campaign pledge of the list emanuel micron's promising to bring back compulsory military service and his party has been busy trying to whip up support for a course on the we call it the national service because it's the place where the youth of our country and the nation meet one another where they get to know the military service on the one hand and civil and gauge ment on the other it's where one gives his time to the nation and to society. what about the age range it will cover all age ranges both boys and girls will take part in the service will be obligatory

polls three years ago suggested the day two percent of people were in favor of the move but now those two involves a little more than half shiela do bensky asked people in paris what they thought about it now. but you play as if you're ready to serve your country yes i have even tried to get in the army. think there are many ways to help your country and not on the in the army it's not all about taking a weapon in your hand. army training is definitely way stricter than the school curriculum but this experience gave me a new perspective on things. as well i think military service is something good this creates unity around the country but servants should be optional. at the moment at all seems quite

crazy her as they say it would be obligatory then they say not. to do you know the french national anthem at all. a french military expert have told us he doesn't expect recalls plan to work out. murder is no being a. did during a campaign talking about three or six months is. because to teach the basic ages to the basic skills to a soldier it needs many three months is. to make something useful for a. modern army like the french army where there is a many high technical systems

a lot of stories the news today you can check out of our you tube channel as well as so much more and great videos we don't have time to tell you about here r t don't call me a great resource as well all our latest news for you around the clock here in moscow this thursday is kevin zero in saying thanks for watching his latest live news update on but with more in thirty. in america a college degree requires a great deal. a decades long ted. studying so hard it requires. going through humiliation to enter society. toci dance sometimes quite literally.

a sign of regular birthing pangs or something extraordinary happening in german politics to discuss that i'm now joined by part didn't call for a better enjoyment politician and former prime minister of saxony mr been called it's an honor talking to you thank you very much for your time the makeup of the future german government is still very much up in the air even though a provisional deal has been agreed upon i wonder what does your intuition tell you do you think the asp e d voters a likely to endorse this deal well that finally the voters and it's especially the rotors on the part of the social democratic party. who. decided to ask all the members. to the negotiated to. choose

a good negotiated corporations between the social democrats and the grocer democrats. i think that it will work people who are waiting finally waiting you know rather restlessly so that the government should be formed as fast as possible now if these. deal stands joe many will get the same all the political arrangement the same grand coalition that got friend joe many sense two thousand and thirteen even though the very difficulty of forming this government stems from the fact that german of politics has changed and the election results do demonstrate that do you think it's a good idea in principle to have the same all political arrangement when the politics has changed so much no it's not it's not a good idea. because it came along because it seemed very difficult to form a government big course we didn't have

a two party system it would very much easily work one way or the other but we have an open system where everybody who has more than five five percent of the electorate on its side can be will be a member of or will be represented in the parliament now we had small parties really have large larger parties but one of the facts is that the cd you see is you are out talk about the christian democrats and the social democrats had lost in the that asked election and that was really a trend of the two parties for instance in ny and in the seventy's or eighty's where the main major party and one additional party the freedom of right now we

have a mixture of parties and to form a government if neither of the parties has it dominated. is dominating and saw as if you have to have two or three partners work together and that's difficult and the why is that so difficult for the christian. i'm across the beach still remain one of the dominant parties to enlist the support of the smaller players well the social democrats are very uncertain as to. continue their cumber the combination with their christian democrats even though the democrat christian democrats did not have a majority or needed two other parties at least for a majority. were inviting the social democrats support to support it but in this participation doing the last couple of legislative periods

the social democrats lost and influence. and that's one of the reasons i didn't want to rejoin with the christian democrats i got it from your article is that there is a lot of disagreement in germany about the extent of this social bird and that the state has to take upon itself and for example you had a very interesting idea that one of the reasons why the support for the a of do you was so strong they also had to for germany was the kind of resentment towards the state assuming more social obligations including towards the migrants the migrant question no the immigration question the immigration question and the review she question have raised considerable resistance in the within the population because there's

a very uncertain condition as to how to integrate this influx of a great number of people. emanating coming from areas in this world which have a very different. way of life different attitudes different. religions cetera and i'm not necessarily or are not at all from or were from european origin so the population will have to adapt to different composition of the population and that makes it very difficult to know a great number of people in a very short period of time to enter germany is this is one of the basic issues. issues that the if the as you mentioned it's

has been built into a party has taken an issue with that one thing that upset and frightened the many about the latest german elections was the success of the alternative for germany or the a of d. which palm meant for the first time and people who dislike the a.v. usually refer to it as xena folbigg or even fascist but you make an interesting point and one of your articles that one of the factors driving the support for the a.v. was this sense of resentment about the expanding social obligations including towards many thousands of migrants do you think the critics and the detractors of the appreciate the social grievance enough. says there are very different issues one of the issues is that germany has an older population so the words the younger generation is much

smaller than for instance they are generation when i had my family and my children . so there is. an aging german population and the aging german population will need. young people from abroad from other countries if it wants to maintain its present industrial and it konami strength. so there would be a great. the reason or an important reason to have foreign young people into germany on the other hand the older population has great and has great difficulty to adept to a substantial change of their calm decision of the german population as we have different levels of inflicting. interest

or. or influx of difficult adjustments now i heard you say in one of your interviews that one of chancellor merkel's motivations and laughing my gran's in such large numbers was precisely to address germany's long term demographic problem just as you said the shortage in the labor force as well as the increase in the elderly population but that may seem like a viable policy option but do you think the german people have even asked why they they want to pursue that truth and did they have to be asked whether they want to follow that policy option well they've they're being asked in the context of elections and since we have elections both in the state and on the nation level

as on the state level of sixteen states. and they are not all the same time we have a very. very interesting and operative. way to find out what the population think but the the real problem that we have is that the refugees were not coming into germany. to the small of german younger population they were fleeing from for. warse and the issue was a moral one not an economic one when. america decided to open the door so to speak and of course we had an influx of tremendous influx in a short period of time until research seated in the sort of good order and through that process. the most young people who tried to

come to europe and germany really had reason to flee their own countries and in the process. more and more young people did not come because they had to flee but because they rent wanted to come to europe and to germany and especially to enjoy the opportunities that that have risen in germany for a long period of time we had one of these processes in the sixty's and early seventy's mainly the sixty's when a couple of when about two to three million immigrants if you want to call it that way from turkey from italy and spain but then from turkey came into germany because we needed them. this time it is not an

invitation to young people to come to germany but there was a resistance and there is a resistance within the book religion to have for immigration to germany because people were worried and this is one of the issues that if t. is playing on the national character of germany might be changed to some way but mr been called i would agree with you that the a.b.c. is perhaps exploiting this issue too much but don't you think that part of the reason why they have been allowed to exploit it is also that the government hasn't had a full discussion and open discussion of this extremely touchy subject because it's not just a moral issue as chancellor merkel likes to present it it's also a social issue it's an issue about how your country is going to look like for

decades and decades and i.
