i thought of gas extraction considered by many environmental groups to be dangerous in the framework of the british counterterrorism program known as prevent anti fracking movements fall under the category of domestic extremists and protesters are being monitored by anti terror agencies and defragging activists josephs core believes the police unnecessarily resort to violence ice and environmental demonstrations puts a large question mark. the integrity of the police and the. investigations into terrorism as a whole i mean are those approach the fighting terrorists or are they spoiling on every grandmother up and down the country who doesn't want fracking on her doorstep i mean the. definition of this domestic extremist is defined by the idea that they are not just prepared to you to demonstrate their
7:31 am
human rights by protesting it's about crossing that line from process toasting into violence. during these fracking protests the only violence so far has been committed by both the security companies working for the fracking companies and the police themselves where police have been accused of using brute force that's a number of anti fracking demonstrations and it's led to some british politicians including a member of the european parliament pushing for police tactics that protests to be reviewed lauren forces and ambulance staff in turn say the activists are feigning injury for the cameras and making false claims of police brutality. oh no that's not actually. that's the scariest unbelievable
7:32 am
unbelievable i think. for. no. trying to suppress any form of dissent. or disagreement with their policy. which is hardly democratic and they just trying to prevent us from tree speech basically you know we have a right to free speech we have a right to peaceful protest and they're doing everything they can to suppress it. washington's relations with pakistan have taken a downturn after it was believed the u.s. had reached an agreement for the release of a doctor who helped the cia track us on the bin laden however he remains imprisoned
7:33 am
and islamabad say no such deal exists artie's similar con tells us will. the pakistani doctor who helped the cia track down and kill the world's most wanted terrorist osama bin ladin is still in prison two years after this promise from donald trump do you think you can get the darker out yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would tell them let him out and i'm sure they'd let him out in may two thousand and twelve shaquille afridi was sentenced to thirty three years behind bars. jobs. in. two thousand and eleven for being go money to the militants of that discourage them and he was assisting in medical
7:34 am
term that he was making some arrangements for their meeting in is a hospital i met him in two thousand in june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal but last week his family were given a glimmer of hope there are reports that a possible deal to secure his release after he was apparently moved to a secure location because of threats to his life but according to the pakistani foreign ministry none of that's true i'm not aware of the new deal regarding dock to secure afridi on behalf of the ministry of foreign affairs i can assure you that he's not being handed over to the u.s. it's an issue that u.s. officials often bring up but given the frosty relationship between washington and islamabad over counterterrorism and other disputes there's still no sign of a resolution for shaquille afridi we spoke to the editor of defense and foreign affairs magazine gregory copely thinks that a doctor to kill a free day is
7:35 am
a victim of the cia's misleading tactics. the cia itself rather than the us government is the one which is most embarrassment and various by the imprisonment of dr afridi because literally dr afridi is a victim of the of the reality that the cia absolutely misled the pakistan into services intelligence in the hunt for bin lot they told us the i.s.i. one thing because they didn't trust the i.s.i. and then went about literally embarrassing i.s.i. by securing a different path to finding. some of bin laden as a result the pakistani government was quite justifiably offended by this lack of trust between our eyes and that the cia had done this without involving. the battle for influence in africa is also seeing the us go head to head with china
7:36 am
in the continent and this kind of open explains the confrontation has taken a new twist. u.s. military forces in the african country of djibouti are under attack by blinding chinese lasers according to u.s. media in fact they're in so much danger that the u.s. military has sent out a notice urging extreme caution this. truce threat to our air. we have formally to marsh. and we for the chinese it's it's a serious matter and so we're taking in various years now chinese military observers say that the beams could be used simply to scare birds off of the airfield or to disrupt the activities of spider oh and they also point out that china is a signatory of the protocol on blinding laser weapons which outlaws the use of equipment that could cause permanent blindness this is china's only overseas
7:37 am
military base located in the african country of djibouti just a few kilometers away from a very strategic u.s. military base now you can bet with two key military setups so close together the two geo political rivals are looking for any possible secret info they can get from each other they've even admitted as much we have taken we are taking significant steps on the counter-intelligence side so that we have all the defenses that we need there's no doubt about that that's general wald house or the top commander of u.s. military forces in africa now the u.s. military is all over the continent engaging in anti terror operations flying drones propping up aligned governments but while the houser admits that china is doing something in africa that the usa is not doing very well investing look we'll never outspend the chinese on the continent and that's i guess the point i was trying to make china has been an effort on the african continent for quite some time but we as a combatant command have not dealt with it in terms of a strategic interest and we're in the we're taking baby steps in that regard africa
7:38 am
is part of china's one belt one road initiative and. twenty first century silk road of sorts enabling countries to trade with each other china has set up a t.v. project for rural africans they've built all kinds of railroad and showing economic access to remote parts of the continent and among english speaking africans what country do they want to study in the us of the u.k. nope it's the people's republic of china yes the usa is certainly has the upper hand in africa when it comes to flying drones or deploying troops when it comes to something else winning the trust and friendship of the african people china is way far ahead they will bump and r.t. new york well the u.s. state department's mocked world press freedom day by touching on a number of issues and avoiding of those more on that to after this so break.

make up a bigger certainly better jersey book. welcome back now speaking on well to press freedom day the u.s. state department spokeswoman highlighted journalists who lost their lives while working but seemingly ignored palestinians covering the protests on the gaza border and it raised a few questions we urge accountability for the murder of journalists in malta mexico russia and slovakia and the apparent assassination of a b.b.c. passionate reporter in afghanistan on monday would you also condemn the recent deaths of journalists and also in the gaza strip i don't have one i don't have all the details of an investigation but i will say you know we always are saddened by the loss of life and that israel does have a right to defend itself. last month two palestinian journalists were killed by
7:41 am
israeli defense forces while reporting on protests in gaza both were reportedly short with the live ammunition while wearing vests and helmets identifying them as members of the press the u.s. state department says the incidents in gaza should be investigated by israel however washington has taken a different approach on the recent investigation into the alleged chemical attack in syria when the u.s. launched air strikes on the country before any official probe taken place journalist dave lindorff believes the u.s. is acting with double standards. the united states is really using doubletalk here they are they know that the israelis targeted these journalists they were wearing press written across both sides front and back and they were reporting on a peaceful protest and on the shooting of unarmed citizens and the israelis didn't
7:42 am
want the reports out so they killed the poor of the reporters it was not self-defense of israel these killings of palestinian journalists was deliberate and the u.s. won't condemn it that's a total double standard. now a special day in the russian calendar is fast approaching as the country prepares to celebrate victory day on may ninth antti joined today's that forces in russia for the rehearsals of the annual military parade to mark the end of world war two reports. still in the field. but yet they are trying to make you believe that.
7:43 am
these people why this is minutes he really is nothing like when you got that little piece on there and i'll carry your own for the time we are going to write one of them. practice makes perfect they say seemingly simple maneuvers like. this one still being all that simple when there are dozens of vehicles involved and they all have to be in sync that's why moscow's main streets have been blocked off for these beasts to refine them a nuber. this a.p.c. is designed to absorb explosive damage from landmines and it will deflect even
7:44 am
armor piercing rounds now it's not the only vehicle to be making the first show at this year's parade so let me give you a tour. these unmanned drones will be shown to the public officially for the first time at the parade they were initially being designed as a purely reconnaissance aircraft but now they can carry bombs to. elicit missiles have become an essential part of any victory day parade in moscow and this one is no exception. and finally how about this german aces on the red square no this is not a plug over you holywood blockbuster but rather this tank support it will also be for the first time featured at a parade on the red square so now this is of course is just to me it taste of what
7:45 am
to expect at the actual parade so do you and then on the ninth of may and have a look yourself what these guys have prepared. and you walk a man who became famous for throwing his shoe then u.s. president george w. bush is about to embark on a political career off his own money ta-ta a day is running for iraqi parliament in next week's election having returned to his country two months ago and it's a decade on since former president bush touted the u.s. invasion of iraq to crowds in baghdad. would you like that women. not. prefer. muntadhar al zaidi was a t.v. journalist at the time after his stunt he was arrested and convicted for assault on
7:46 am
a foreign leader he was sentenced to three years in prison but released after nine months friday ben moved to lebanon and set up a humanitarian organization to help iraqi war victims for his stunt sounds like he became a hero for many iraqis and coincidentally so did his shoe after separation from its own it quickly became a symbol of protest for his release from jail the company making the show even renamed the shoe model as by by bush it was even briefly all nodes with a bronze statue as an iraqi orphanage we spoke to muntadhar lady about the incident and his political ambitions. our coverage about her after this for what happened was this i was arrested along with my brother we were left in solitary confinement for three days we were only released after i went
7:47 am
on hunger strike without water for three days i told them i'd rather die than stay in prison they broke my teeth my nose my leg electrocuted me whipped me even broke a table or a chair over my back i don't know as i was blindfolded but this was something i've never experienced before about the power torture by the authorities by the rule of law. but the bottom line i thought i had to change the miserable state of affairs in iraq i did not consult anyone it was a personal decision that i took after a long deliberation the george bush incident is in the past it's history now history remember that when the americans invaded iraq and some iraqis were on their side but others beat them with shoes but i did not and will not exploit this incident there are people who have been putting up posters on the street showing me throwing a shoe at george bush that most of these have been taken down and i reject them because this is not part of my campaign to hold and. what i would doubt he would
