fourth of june my name is kevin owen here with the latest from r.t. h.q. the next half hour for you and the former chief of cambridge analytic the company at the center of that scandal for using private data for political ends is to appear before british m.p.'s but even as that happens yet another scandal surfaced leaked documents reveal that cambridge analytic his parent company has been collecting data for private military contractors in yemen as donald quarter explains this morning. remember the cambridge analytical scandal millions of people's personal information being mined for financial gain and influence cambridge and a little it's actually a data analytics company dedicated to one thing figuring out how to manipulate you at all costs this shadowy consulting firm right surreptitiously gained access to personal data and mine from nearly eighty seven million facebook users weaponized personal data you have to look at cambridge and really think of the loss of trust cambridge analytic scandal this was a huge breach of trust well according to newly leaked documents from cambridge

analytical parent company s.c.l. it wasn't just for meddling in political campaigns in two thousand and nine s.c.l. carried out a surveillance operation in yemen called project titanium it involved a network of western trained operatives tasked with infiltrating local populations and identifying potential terror threats then the show face focuses on identifying the groups that support or are conducive to violent jihad its recruitment project titanium was essentially a psychological profile operation against the hottest it's architects wanted to find ways to divert people away from islamised ideology do the research is used to identify a clear influence power to the company in targeted groups those who took part were deceived and led to believe that they were part of more innocent surveys but it was for a noble cause especially at the height of military operations against al qaida the

s.c.l. group was acting on behalf of our camera a us based military company they get billions of dollars from the defense department for intel operations around the globe looks like they were doing government dirty work and not just for washington and i know that many other governments work with them as well it's not just the united states government i believe the brits work with them in other countries and that's just the tip of the iceberg. when you look under the surface of these campaigns the private sector is creating a gray area risk free and where international law does not apply i actually was able to obtain in recent weeks through a company insider or to

a company insider documents pertaining to a twenty two thousand and nine counterinsurgency and surveillance operation that s.c.l. group the parent company of cambridge analytical carried out into conflict zones in yemen maariv and hide your move province which is where al qaeda in the arabian peninsula are based and where obama's drone assassination program at the time was taking place and you know what these documents showed and i think you know they provide us with an unprecedented look at how s.c.l. group as a private intelligence operation apparently functioning under the watch of the british government in this case how it operates around the world and how it hones these kind of counterinsurgency tactics in the third world in conflict zones and then kind of brings them back into the west for use in elections. meanwhile the saudi led coalition is getting closer to the main port city of who died it agencies

fear it's going to woodson on the humanitarian crisis in the home country the duggar is that yemen's third largest city and its ports a real lifeline for yemen but ninety percent of all food and medicine arrives in the country through the port the saudi coalition says it targets who's the rebels but he minded terrorist organizations are warning that the military operation mostly impacts the lives of civilians. some eight point four million people are severely food insecure and at risk of starvation if conditions do not improve a further ten million people will fall into this category by the end of the year we're extremely concerned about the direct impact on civilians and also. the functioning of the. birds because hamas implications on an occupation which is already. a significant. and in need of huge amounts of assistance is a manmade crisis. and by extension given to some other means crisis there is the

possibility for the parties to the conflict under international backers to stop the fighting and. to engage in talks that review the humanitarian situation. israeli prime minister is expected in germany later today at the u.n. and yahoo is on a three day trip to europe to try to drum up support for amendments to the iran nuclear deal they may find it hard going as european signatories to the agreement determined to see it rescued after the u.s. withdrew. a leafy europe to meet three key leaders angola merkel emmanuel mark cronin treason may know reiterate an unyielding truth israel will not lesser on obtain nuclear. or government regrets the decision of the us administration to withdrawal from the deal that diminishes confidence in the international order what do we want to be fossils that would have paid line between americans tell them we are to stick so much in keeping these

agreements and we want to have economic relations with the wrong we've been acting already i think european union level to make sure that you know clearly meant is preserved and you cannot make investments from the european side but also from other sites in the word so our checks and their groom a true god and the nuclear weaponization of iran is an agreement that will surely have the witnesses is to an agreement that we must stand by. trump has lost but no one followed his decision and now we have to make good on the feeling our obligations. but america abandon the hard won deal with iran and the agreement curbed iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions it was signed by france germany and britain much about trusts is the head of political science is it held university in cairo says those three will not break up the u.s. israeli pressure either. meeting you who is. playing

a show. in the european partners with the european partners to abandon the deal but i am in doubt that he can be successful in this endeavor his european counterparts meanly. germany france and the u.k. have expressed their. clear political position that they are not abandoning it i believe that the national interests of those three countries that they want to secure strategic relations with iran and they are not sacrificing it for they seek of us. and then use this morning in iraqi court has sentenced a french woman to life in prison for joining the islamic state terror group escaping the death penalty though molina bowl ad was captured last year in mosul

and sentenced to seven months in prison for entering the country illegally after the end of that sentence she is due to be deported home to france but prosecutors demanded a retrial saying she violated the country's antiterrorism law and followed her husband who joined our. knowingly five hundred terrorists a known prison in france around one thousand two hundred prisoners a reporter for the dea radicalised forty due for release over the next two years the country's leading counterterrorism prosecutor warns that the move poses a major threat to the public who is a major brisk of seeing people who are not a true repentant at the end of this sentence leave prison and yet be even more radical after their time behind bars with many questioning the initial visit europe's biggest jail. not only is there concern over the threats that these individuals may pose to the outside world but also while they're incarcerated this

is a flaw it's europe's largest prison and amongst the thousands of inmates being held here some unknown joe hardest see. ya done every day in france prison guards are attacked we have been off the next one thousand one hundred supervisors over the next four years but for now we don't see anything happening we're tired of this you are the first t.v. channel i'm telling this to but yesterday we had a suicide and since january we've had ten other cases exhaustion among staff and concerns for their own welfare spilled over into protests.

still the calls for help going on and sit and now prisons like this could soon be and locking their doors to let those radicalized inmates back into society zones set up recon this prison is the largest in europe there are four thousand three hundred inmates it's overcrowded and we don't have enough staff we have more than one hundred twenty radicalized inmates here so you can imagine i difficult it is for prison supervisors to handle this the forty alleged radicalized inmates who will soon get out of jail will likely find themselves on account to terrorism watch list a list that already ones into the tens of thousands four thousand of whom are considered dangerous tragically even those on the watch list often slip through the fingers of security services.

french authorities say they have to do more to properly monitor for me inmates and with france having suffered so much through terror attacks in recent years many would argue it's about time they did charlotte even ski r.t. paris. turkey and america are looking to try to repair relations damaged by the u.s. decision to relocate its embassy in israel to jerusalem the country's top diplomats of the region washington then on monday but there are several stumbling blocks ahead as are two solutions sethi explains washington and anchor our set to meet as relations hits new lows the new u.s. secretary of state has the tough task of rebuilding bridges with his take as counterparts were just broken by donald trump's decision to move the u.s.

embassy in israel to jerusalem which sparked outrage in techie and across the muslim world was. the fact that the united states claim to be a mediator to preserve the peace in the region and the world has a share in this massacre is something else and it's definitely an acceptable. hey trump what are you trying to do what kind of an approach is that political leaders are supposed to work to bring peace not stir things up. we must encourage other countries to recognize the palestinian state. on the basis of the one nine hundred sixty seven borders with these two slim is this capital. let's not forget the texas foreign ministry accuse the u.s. of violating international law in this statement the us government's announcement that it will move in tel aviv to jerusalem and may shows that it insists on

destroying the grounds for peace by violating international law take he responded by withdrawing its ambassador from tel aviv and calling an image is he meeting of islamic nations however american allies just seem to shrug off the move that is within turkey's right to do so and i don't see that as diminishing our relationship with the government of turkey them see maybe if it is just one of many things holding back a warming of ties differences remain in syria especially for the u.s. military support of kids in the region who are deemed terrorists by turkey but can washington sees cooperation with its longtime kiddish allies to say relations with ankara with. the united states is preferred to collaborate with a terrorist organization in syria that was a grave mistake we're trying to change their position. the u.s. is putting pressure on take care of wrist choice of market under nato and under the

nato agreement which of course turkey is a nato member you're only supposed to buy they are only supposed to buy weapons and other material better interoperable with other nato partners u.s. lawmakers are even considering a ban on to liveries of their own fighter jets to take a in retaliation if so no problem because take he may go knocking on another door. if i need such weapons i will certainly pick you my immediate needs from somewhere but i do not think there will be a problem as the turkish foreign minister has said no one wants to lose an ally but well embassy may have started their syria policies and western purchases prevent attending point been reached in relations over t.v. than turkey and the us. at least twenty five people have been killed after a volcano erupted in guatemala authorities also report that at least twenty people have been injured but moten spewed rocks black smoke and ash ten kilometers up into the air all casualties of food to as emergency services are conducting rescue operations in the affected areas volcom before you go which means the volcano of

fire is ripped through for the second time this year this was said to be the biggest though since one nine hundred seventy four. coming up the newly formed italian government as a radical answer to the country's migrant crisis is not going down well in all parties though more about the break. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president. somehow i want to be it's. going to be for us to see what the full screen can't be good that. interest is always in the waters in the. first six. in italy the newly formed euro skeptic government to send a tough message for illegal immigrants coming into the country the minister of interior matto salvini as disco also described as many as italy's as the trump says it's time to pack your bags. well you know treatment is really really not for.

you. he also went to sicily an island in southern italy where he promised to reduce the number of migrant arrivals and he went on to pledge to get to work on the deportation of illegal migrants so you had to protest and support. i think the soviets rights i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrivals what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing so it's a very should not be in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse ethnic groups and diverse people you can completely close immigrant traffic but i think it's ok to take a break he has to set rules can come in discriminately they will create many problems in italy there are many problems already for example there is a lot of poverty and there is not enough jobs promised but i am sure that so many will not be able to stop migration he will not have the parliament support. italy's

been a favorite destination for north african migrants and refugees over six hundred thousand to arrive there since twenty fourteen recent polls show fifty eight percent of a tallinn's are afraid of immigration though and around sixty percent do not feel safe in their own cities because of the refugee influx political analyst part of the agree spoke to our worlds apart about the issue. ninety percent of the migrants meet only comes from libya libya was that important trading partner libya is a source of gas which is important as you know you can buy all the it's on the web our gas needs pipe and the pipe from libya to to italy and it's a source of problem for migration so all of course who are affected and we played in this as relevant role after the outing of the duffey could discuss for our worse on why i took that he and you could discuss for minutes on why e-coli

had to follow. i'm not saying that and said that that good duffy's was and had to be our hero he was a dictator but as you know we have been used to leave along with the day to see many other countries. don't trust turkey and former new york mayor rudolph giuliani it's caused a stir by claiming that the us president cannot be indicted he said that even if he shot his ex f.b.i. chief james comey congress would be to impeach before taking legal action against him in the same interview said that the president is unlikely to use his power to pardon himself do you in the present attorneys believe the president has the power to pardon himself. he's not but he probably does. he has no intention of pardoning himself but he probably doesn't say can those comments come as the u.s.

president the filmmaker who he saw unfairly prosecuted by the previous administration the move caused discontent in the american media and among the country's politicians to use caleb maupin reports. donald trump is once again drawing outrage from the democrats this time for pardoning right wing political commentator dinesh d'souza now d'souza pled guilty in two thousand and fourteen to making illegal campaign contributions trump is being blasted now from some quarters because they allege that essentially he's letting a political ally off the hook president drumm seemingly passing out pardons to heroes of the far right almost as eagerly as oprah once gifted pontiacs to suburban moms there are questions about his judgment and intent the president reminding people my daddy can pardon you are. and i'm going to. but if you look over the history of presidential pardons and sentence commutations they've always kind of been handed out this way back in april donald trump gave

a full pardon to scooter libby a former member of the bush administration scooter libby had been involved in outing the identity of a cia agent and then obstructing justice in order to cover it up george w. bush had already communities set back in two thousand and seven scooter libby decision was a sort of fair and balanced says don't forget about the biggest case of tax evasion in all of us history marc rich was convicted of defrauding the u.s. government of roughly forty eight million dollars rich was going to face three hundred years in prison until bill clinton stepped in to give him a second chance now it also happens that marc rich was a big contributor and supporter of bill clinton's presidential campaigns marc rich was on the f.b.i.'s ten most wanted list bill clinton on his last day in office pardons him a lot of people were shocked and surprised including his political allies even after marc rich died money from his estate continued flowing into hillary clinton's

foundation and then there was an investigation that determined there was no foul play between marc rich and the clintons richard nixon stepped down after it was revealed that he had spied on his political. opponents and then obstructed justice in an attempt to cover it up now gerald ford who were placed in the oval office decided to let bygones be bygones he said it was an act of mercy all right your are for. the president of the united states granted and by these presidents do grant a free and absolute pardon under richard nixon the first presidential pardon in u.s. history was handed down by george washington the leaders of a rebellion that had taken place at the time the man dubbed the father of america hopes that this act of forgiveness would help bring a new country together but roll on two hundred years and it seems that presidential pardons and sentence commutations are little less about honor and healing and

a little more about you scratch my back i'll scratch yours over centuries now there's been a process of volved where you have something called the office of the pardon attorney people meticulously review the cases and decide which one should make it to the president's desk dinesh d'souza he was railroaded under the obama administration he was aggressively prosecuted for an offense that is generally not prosecuted to the level this one was and his life was virtually ruined root in this country we have a crisis because the mainstream media the corporate media refuses to accept the idea that donald trump is a legitimate president united states entitle to wield the legitimate powers that every united states president has we all the while in office that's their core problem until they get over that they're going to be writing a lot of fake news. and the turn of the millennium the british government pledged to eradicate child poverty but twenty twenty does that deadline approaches over four million children in the u.k. still live in poverty the redfish media companies produce

a special report on the worst hit areas you can watch the full video on the site on you tube or facebook this week the first part of it and we've got the second part of this eyeopening report. we're in the sixth richest country in the world with a welfare system in place meant to help those most in need and yet that's not what we've been hearing at all it's like we've witnessed two completely different worlds . four million over four million of our children are living in poverty and the expectation is that's going to grow and the government at the same time is cutting all the resources that. previously expected experts say that children living in the most deprived areas are most likely to suffer from physical and mental health problems that will follow them into adults but even in london second richest kensington and chelsea the extreme levels of inequality here were brought to their national attention last year when seventy one residents of the ground. were killed

in a fire that had been blamed on reckless cost cutting measures by the conservative led council in the shadow of the burnt out tower sean mendis runs a sport for children in the area you know you see that the bar has spent millions of pounds refurbishing millions of pounds on a new museum and millions of pounds refurbishing exhibition road in the meantime on the breadline family happen for access to food banks every single day just that you can feed themselves you know that's really a promise within three weeks everybody affected by the fire is going to be really house and we're working with children today and they're still living in hotels this is despite the fact that there are nearly one thousand five hundred unoccupied homes in kensington and chelsea and inequality in the area stark the poverty rate in goldberg ward right next to grant is fifty one percent in the queen's gate toward the poverty level stands at just four percent free and carlie's mother lucy thousands of pounds and. all the buildings that make it so that people who can

and we're talking about a big percentage which we can about a third of children so we will have children who will have been undernourished all their lives who will have not had the same access to coach. fresh air and exercise as are the children who haven't had the same chance to experience the things of the children. you know this is sort of on a couch more about you can or not that's the way things are looking so far this monday for example so much washing done that are up never miss a moment later is that we've got to bring you breaking news of features twenty four hours a day here in moscow though for those. folks watching more for me in half an hour have a great program is coming straight. welcome
