4:02 am
personal data mined from nearly eighty seven million facebook users weaponized personal data you have to look at cambridge analytics and some 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 the nice thing focuses on identifying the groups that support or are conducive to violent jihadist recruitment project titanium was essentially a psychological profile operation against the hottest so it's architects wanted to find ways to divert people away from islamised ideology field research is used to
4:03 am
identify a clear instance pass to do something target 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.
4:04 am
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 mood 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
4:05 am
then kind of brings them back into the west for use in elections. see groups being shut down of the head of cambridge analytical which is also close will be testifying before the british parliament later in the wake there's been no comment on those new allegations if it comes through we'll tell you about it now meantime staying with the saudi led coalition there is closing in on the port city of or data aid agencies fear it is therefore going to worsen the already awful humanitarian crisis in the whole country is a reason for it who died it is yemen's third largest city and its port is therefore a lifeline for yemen about ninety percent of all food and medicine arrives in the country through that very important see the importance of it the saudi coalition says it targets who feel rebels only but humanitarian organizations warn 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
4:06 am
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 but also what is the functioning of the. harbor and this could have massive implications on an occupation which is already. significant we. need to live. up to systems 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 barker's to stop the fighting and. to engage in talks that we view this humanitarian situation. elsewhere if the israeli prime minister is expected in germany later by the minute you know who's on a three day trip to europe to drum up support for amendments to the iran nuclear deal but he may find it hard going because european signatories to that agreement
4:07 am
at the terminus see it rescued after the u.s. withdrew. only fear to meet three key leaders wrangler merkel emanuel mark cronin treason me and i'll reiterate an unyielding truth israel will not lesser on obtain nuclear. the government regrets the decision of the us administration to withdraw from the deal that diminishes confidence in the international order he wants to be fossils that would have paid line between americans tell them we are to stick so much in keeping this agreement and we want to have economic relations with iran acting already i think you can you know to make sure that your team and his pursuit yeah trump has lost the battle no one followed his decision and now we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations. america abandoned the hard won deal with iran in may the agreement curb iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions it was signed off by
4:08 am
france germany and britain my good buttressed side of the political science is where the hell when university of cairo believes those three will not break under us israeli pressure any time soon either. playing a show. in the european partners with this european partners to abandon the deal but i am in doubt that he can be successful in this endeavor his european counterparts mainly. germany france and the u.k. have expressed their. clear political position that they are not abandoning it i believe that the national interest of those three countries that they want to secure strategic relations with iran and they are not
4:09 am
sacrificing it for the sake of the us. an iraqi court sentenced a french woman to life in prison for joining the islamic state terror group she does get the death penalty though millionaire boy was captured last year in mosul and censuses seven months in prison for entering the country illegally at 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 by following a husband to iraq they further say he went there to join the terror group meantime this is opened up a whole new can of worms to bigger one the problem of radicalization in france french prisons as radicalized raising the alarm five hundred terrorists and now imprisoned in france around one thousand two hundred prisoners are reportedly radicalized and crucially as far as the public is concerned about forty a jew for release over the next two years now the country's leading counterterrorism prosecutor is warning therefore this move poses a major threat to the public. measures
4:10 am
a major brisk of seeing people who not at all repentant at the end of this sentence leave prison and yet be even more radical after their time behind bars so with many questioning the initiative to do bensky visits 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
4:11 am
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 zero synoptic on 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
4:12 am
list a list that already runs 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 suit terror attacks in recent years many would argue it's about time they did show it even ski r.t. paris. in italy the newly formed heroes skeptic government sent

4:14 am
