misuse of private data by scandal hit cambridge analytic is said to be discussed in the european parliament later today at the same time small revelations show that it's now defunct parent company was involved in a secret counterinsurgency operation in yemen. israel's prime minister heads to europe to persuade leaders to abandon the hard for iran nuclear deal germany france and britain have pledged to rescue the agreement after it was rejected by america. and french authorities raised the alarm of a radicalization in prisons r.t. this hour travels to the largest prison in europe where god say it's overcrowded and lacks proper security measures.

by their face chilling two out international live from moscow this hour with me kevin knowing first and this thirty minute update cambridge analytic the company at the center of the scandal for using private data for political ends is to be discussed in the european parliament later today but even as that happens yet another scandal surfaced investigative journalist max blumenthal's published documents he says were leaked from cambridge analytic as parent company they allegedly revealed that it's been collecting data for private military contractors in yemen as donald quarter explains. 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 mined from nearly eighty seven million facebook users weaponized personal data you have to look at cambridge analytics in terms 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 initial 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 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. 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 then kind of brings them back into the west for use in elections. as i see groups

being shut down and the head of cambridge analytic which is also close will be testifying before british m.p.'s later in the week so far there's been no comment on these new allegations if we hear anything we'll let you know now meantime staying in yemen the saudi led coalition there is closing in on the port city of who died aid agencies fear that's really bad news and they think it'll worsen the humanitarian crisis in the whole country the reason for that is that data is yemen's third largest city and its port is a lifeline for yemen about ninety percent of all food and medicine are right through that place the saudi coalition says it targets rebels but humanitarian organizations warn that's not the case they say these military operations mostly impact 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 what is

the functioning of the. harbor and this could have massive implications on an operation which is already. significant we. need to live. to 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 barker's to stop the fighting and. to engage in talks that we view the humanitarian situation. israeli prime minister is expected in germany later who is 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 as european signatories to the agreement of the term or to see it rescued after the u.s. pulled. a leafy europe to meet three key leaders franklin merkel emmanuel mark

cronin treason may and i'll reiterate on yours in truth israel will not lesser on obtain nuclear. or government regrets the decision of the us administration to withdrawal from a deal that diminishes confidence in the international order to want to be fossils that would a base line between americans tell them we are to stick so much in keeping these agreements and we want to have economic relations with iran with acting already at the european union level to make sure that the nuclear the mentees pursuit yeah trump has lost the bastard no one followed his decision and now we have to make good on the feeling our obligation. america abandoned that hard won deal with iran in may the group curb iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions it was signed off by france germany and britain trusts head of the political sciences where that car was hell when university believes those three will not break on the

us israeli pressure anytime soon either. meeting you who is. playing a show. in the european partners with his european partners to abandon the deal but i am in doubt that he can be successful in this endeavor his european counterparts meanly in. 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 this week of the u.s. . and iraqi court has sentenced

a french woman to life in prison for joining the islamic state terror group she has the escape the death penalty her name she was captured last year in mosul and sentenced to seven months in prison for entering the country illegally after the end of the sentence then she's 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 for the war they say he went there to join the terror group while almost two thousand people from france who went to fight in i saw him now in various ways coming back it's believed that many were radicalized while serving time in french prisons and authorities are now raising the big alarm over the problem five hundred terrorists are now imprisoned in france twelve hundred prisoners are reportedly radicalized forty this is the next catch a jew for release over the next two years it's caused some amount of public alarm the country's leading counterterrorism prosecutor was that the move poses a major threat to the public. who are these good measures a major brisk of seeing people who are not

a troll repentant at the end of this sentence leave prison and yet be even more radical over their time behind bars so with really questioning the initiative to do bensky went to 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 move every day in from 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 like you were 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 say la pook 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 our difficulties for prison supervised to handle this the forty alleged radicalized inmates who will soon get out of jail will likely find themselves on account it. there is some watch 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. the 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. will have order in italy the newly formed euro skeptic government sent

a tough message for illegal immigrants coming into the country the minister of interior number tose ovine also describe the many years italy's arms of the trump says simply it's time to pack your bags. clearly you know people is really really not. going to be. speaking in the silly import of qatar he promised to reduce the number of newcomers he also pledged to get to work on the deportation of illegal migrants too and that is a policy that's led to big division in italy. i think the soviets writes i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrival with us what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing so so very should not be in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse ethnic groups and diverse people you can't completely closed immigrant traffic aopa i think it's ok to take a break he has to set rules migrants 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 main entry point to europe for north african migrants and refugees over six hundred thousand of arrived this is twenty fourteen recent polls suggest fifty eight percent of italians are afraid of immigration now director of tell it is chewed for its national political studies palomar greece spoke to r.t. is worlds apart about this big issue. ninety percent of the migrants evidence need only comes from media. and it was that important trading partner and media is a source of gossip for the telly which is important as you know you can buy all the it's on the web are but gossip needs pipe and the pipe also media to it too easily and it's the sole sole troll then for migration as they say so of course who are affected and we played in this as relevant role off to the outing those that did

get duffy and could discuss or worse on why so it was each took that he did and we could discuss for minutes on why e-coli had to solo. i'm not saying that and said that that's good duffy's walls and had to be what he will he was a dictator much as you know we have been used to believe that along the way dictators in many other countries. brought a head off upright look into accusations the donald trump's giving pardon and so his political allies. one else seemed wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me i'll

get to shape out of this thing becomes educated and it gets an equal speech trail. when something is find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground . what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so you want to be president. some want to be. too great to be this is what. you people are. interested reasonable. question.

again folks watching out international this choose dates and just eighty minutes past one o'clock moscow time so next door trumps attorney and former new york mayor rudy giuliani has 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 komi congress would need to in page trump before taking legal action against him he went on to say in the same interview too though that the president was unlikely to ever exercise that particular executive privilege do you in the present attorneys believe the president has the power to pardon himself. he's not but he probably does the mayor has no intention of pardoning himself but he probably doesn't say can't well those comments came after the u.s. president pardoned

a filmmaker who he thought was unfairly prosecuted by the previous administration the move cause discontent in the american media and among the country's politicians bringing more on this story than caleb maupin next. 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 from 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 on this power 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. parliaments 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. our lord. president of the united states granted and by these presidents to grant a free and absolute pardon under richard nixon the first presidential pardon in u.s. history was handed down by george washington to leaders of a rebellion that had taken place at the time the man dubbed the father of america hope 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. troubling guatemala or at least twenty five have been killed after a volcano erupted the big report at least twenty have been injured but the search

is continuing the mountain spewed rocks black smoke and ash ten kilometers up into the. vast explosion the more casualties a fee it is emergency services conduct rescue operations in a fight to there is called the vulcan the full meaning volcano of fire and as you can see really living up to his name the it's the second time this year and is the biggest eruption since one thousand nine hundred four. at the turn of the millennium the british government pledged to eradicate child poverty by twenty twenty but as 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 and you can watch their full video on their website or on you tube or facebook last week we brought to the first part of that now we got the second part of this really eye opening 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 like we've witnessed two completely different worlds. it's really shocking that 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 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 sports charity 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 but in the meantime on the breadline family happened to access 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 golborne ward right next to grant is fifty one percent in the queen's gates ward the poverty level stands at just four percent free and carlie's mother lucy is thousands of pounds and. all the buildings that make it so that people who can afford to buy them and there's not many places. like the council houses and housing association. lucy is facing eviction from her home and potential homelessness they have nowhere else to go now they just don't get me out of here.
