here on r.t. international money is called embraced in the afternoon here in moscow welcome to a news update this hour first off for you cambridge analytic of the company at the center of a scandal for using private data for political ends is to be discussed in the european parliament later this monday but even as that happens yet another scandal surfaced investigative journalist max blumenthal has published documents he says were leaked from cambridge analytic his parent company they allegedly reveal that it's been collecting private data for military contractors in yemen explained. 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 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 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 kimmitt 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. s.l.c. group has been shut down and the head of cambridge analytic which is also closed

will testify before british m.p.'s later in the week we want to cross that for you we also asked for some comment from britain's foreign office about all this as well we'll let you know soon as we get a reply staying with yemen though in the saudi led coalition says it's closing in on the port city of data aid agencies fear it will worsen the humanitarian crisis in the whole country data is yemen's third largest city and its port is a lifeline for yemen about ninety percent of all food and medicine arrives through that port the saudi coalition says it targets hoofy rebels but humanitarian organizations warn that the military operation 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 it is up but also what is the functioning of the poor is hamburg's this because hamas are

implications on a population which is already. a significantly weakened state and it needs a. huge amount of assistance it's 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 we view the humanitarian situation. is really prime minister is expected in germany later today and even netanyahu is on a three day trip to europe to drum up support for amendment to the iran nuclear deal but he may find it hard going because european signatories to the agreement of determined to see it rescued after the u.s. pullout. booker told a leafy europe to meet three key leaders wrangle merkel emanuel mark cronin treason may and i will reiterate an unyielding truth israel will not lesser on obtain nuclear. government regrets

the decision of the us administration to withdraw from the deal that diminishes confidence in the international order what he wants to be fossils that would have a line between what americans tell them it's just it's so much in keeping these agreements and we want to have economic relations with iran we have been doing already i do european union level to make sure that you have the mentees percent. trump has lost the battle no one followed his decision and now we have to make good on the feeling our obligation for. america. abandon the hard won deal with iran in may the agreement curbed iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions there was signed by france germany and britain but both ross who's the head of political sciences at caro's helwan university believes those three will not break under u.s. israeli pressure. meeting you who is. playing a show. in the european partners with the european partners to

abandon the deal but i doubt that he can be successful in this endeavor his european counterparts mean. germany friends in the u.k. have expressed their. political position that they are not abandoning it i believe that the national interests of those three countries that they want to secure. their relations with iran and they are not sacrificing it for this week of the u.s. troops. and iraqi court has sentenced a french woman to life in prison for joining the islamic state terror group escaping the death penalty. 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 by following her husband to iraq they say he went there to join the terror group now almost two thousand people from france went to fight for iceland it's believed many of them were radicalized while serving time in french prisons the authorities there are now raising the alarm over that problem five hundred terrorists are now imprisoned in france around twelve hundred prisoners they're reportedly radicalized forty of them are due for release over the next two years the country's leading counterterrorism prosecutors warning that the move poses a major threat to the public. who are these good measures a major risk of seeing people who are not a troll repentant at the end of the sentence leave prison and yet be even more radical after their time behind bars however many now questioning the initiative charlotte about its connections being to visit europe's biggest jail not only is there concern over the threats 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 harvests. yeah 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 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 a counterterrorism was. lest a list that already runs into the tens of thousands for 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. in italy the newly formed euro skeptic government has sent a tough message for the eagle immigrants coming to the country the new interior minister matteo selvi me also described by many as italy's answer to trump says it's time to pack your bags packed ready to get out if that is really everyday i am not. afraid you. are going to be.

speaking in the sicilian port of khatami or he promised to reduce the number of newcomers also pledged to get to work on the deport ation of illegal migrants a policy that led to division within italy. i think the soviets writes i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrival was 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 completely close immigrant traffic to a of i think it's ok to take a break he has to set rules migrants can come indiscriminately. 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'm sure that so many will not be able to stop migration he will not have the parliament's support. on it and he's been a main point of entry into europe for north african migrants and refugees more than

six hundred thousand of arrived best since twenty fourteen a recent poll suggests that fifty eight percent of italians are afraid of immigration the director of the italian institute for international political studies has been speaking to a part about it ninety percent of the migrants need only comes from libya libya was that important trading partner in libya is a source. which is important as you know you can buy all units on the weather but gas needs pipe and the pipe from media to it to italy and it's a source of trouble and for migration. so of course who are affected and we played in this as relevant to all. the out even those that did get duffy and could discuss or worse on why i took that and we could discuss for minutes on why e-coli had to follow. i'm not saying that and said that that get duffy's walls

and head to the heel he was a dictator but as you know we have been used to leave along with the day to see many other countries and. this is our tell you after the break we'll look into accusations of the donald trump is giving away power to his political allies. we have the privilege of being the most allied of the united states. centaurs c two and many other alliances promoted by the west united states in particular even members of we also have the privilege of being the most sanctioned. of that to any group of countries so while it sounds contradictory it is contradictory and stunned this shows that pakistan will do what is in its

national interest which will north just school building one real the other. one else seemed wrong but. just don't call. me that is yet to shape out this day comes to educate and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back countries across europe of tighten the borders against illegal newcomers but it's not just economic migrants sort of being seeking green apostasy .

cleary let's go to the to out of. the to. the to me how many. areas. thanks.

eric you should go for your salary. safe borders created by and for human rights. margaret says she. still missed the safe bank of a pregnant calgary. this is what really seemed good about the future michael gurr a. little like some terrifying scenes in latin america where a volcanic eruption has killed at least twenty five people and guatemala hundreds of others are injured and many are reported missing right now the worst eruption among. when a century sent rocks of black smoke and ash ten kilometers into the witnesses

a fast moving flows swarm to villages killing victims and. it's the second time this year that the ball can this way go which means the volcano of fire has erupted . donald trump's attorney and former new york mayor rudy giuliani has caused a stir by claiming that the u.s. president cannot be indicted he said that even if he shot his ex f.b.i. chief james komi congress needs to impeach trump before taking legal action against him but in the same interview he said that the president is unlikely to ever exercise his 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 self but he probably doesn't get those comments came after the u.s. president pardoned a filmmaker who he thought was unfairly prosecuted by the previous administration move cause discontent in the american media and among the country's politicians kellam opened picks up the story. 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 mining people my dad he 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 sentenced back in two thousand and seven the 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 to 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 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 and 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. the turn of the millennium the british government pledged to eradicate poverty by twenty twenty but is that deadline approaches more than four million children in the u.k. still living in poverty the redfish media companies produced a special report on the worst hit areas and you can watch the full video on their website it's also on you tube and facebook and last week we had the first part now it's part two of the 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 it's like we've witnessed two completely different worlds . full 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 a 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 in the meantime on the breadline happen for access food banks every single page you can feed themselves you know that's really a promise within three weeks everybody affected by the fire is going to be rehired and we're working with children today i miss you 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 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 afford to buy their home. there's not many places now. that's

a council house 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. but they've told me if i could have picked it. up and leave it. on the streets of my kids around. behind me you've got a symbol of two britons the houses to my right is the britain of footballers and many of the houses to my left is the britain of you see. struggling to make ends meet getting by day by day with very little support from anyone i knew growing up in what can only be described as poverty we're going to have a situation where we've got an underclass when we have a whole section of society that has not had the same advantages as other sections 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. ten days and counting until football's biggest event kicks off in russia we caught up with brazilian double world cup win a car food he's been giving us some insight into how his former team might perform at this year's tournament. well expectations are really high not only concern in the world cup in russia but also concerning the world cup in general especially regarding the brazilian team pressure it is high you are fighting for a world cup with the brazilian team there are more than two hundred twenty million

brazil leaders that's still hundreds and twenty million football coaches two hundred and twenty million football fans so there is additional pressure on players to have a great world cup when we come to the world cup we come to when no one plays at the world cup just to say that it's late we come to ween of course sometimes it doesn't happen the way you want to but you can be sure that the it won't be and the lack of commitment and brazil is going to have a great world cup let me tell you the team outing is fired up ready to go with some special coverage throughout the world cup here in russia which kicks off in ten days from now that's it for me for this bullet and i'll be back with more in just over half an hour to c.n.n. .

at the plate for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. book it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more chance with. the base this minute.
