the israeli prime minister is in germany on a european persuading leaders to abandon the hard fought iran nuclear deal with our correspondent in one minute. you're looking right now into the misuse of private data by scandal hit cambridge analytic a revelation show that it's now defunct parent company was involved in a secret counterinsurgency operation in yemen. new legislation that aims to give russia greater scope for retaliation against
12:01 pm
foreign sanctions. and the french authorities scramble to tackle the threat of radicalization in prisons. europe's largest jail guards say it's overcrowded that security is inadequate. to update you on what's happening around the world this hour is now seven pm on monday here in moscow first off let's get you up to speed on what's happening in europe the israeli prime minister is in berlin on the first leg of his european trip where he's looking to push for the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal to be dropped and even netanyahu in german chancellor angela merkel just finished their talks and i've spoken to journalists in the german capital let's go there live now our europe correspondent peter. has mr netanyahu had any success in getting angle america longside. well benjamin netanyahu certainly being trying on this first leg
12:02 pm
of his three day european tour where he's been meeting or will be meeting with e.u. leaders to try and convince them to follow the united states as lead and move away from the iran nuclear deal now mr netanyahu used his time at the podium to criticize the iranian government. that was a very bad deal because it gave you the capacity also to develop advanced centrifuges forty times more effective in the intervening years so they could have an unlimited enrichment capacity in a few years that's not a good deal we see that iran is devouring one country after the other and yemen syria i'm talking about military presence and hands to shipments of lethal weapons and obviously they continue to espouse our destruction and the conquest of the middle east so i think that. the deal also released
12:03 pm
a lot of cash for you ron which helps them achieve these goals. well if what was said by the leaders on the podium is anything to go by we can pretty much gather that prime minister netanyahu would stop angola merkel fell on their death is the german chancellor using her time addressing the media to say that germany and herself remain committed to trying to save the iran deal. although we have a different opinion he asked if the usefulness. and its effectiveness germany did not cancel this agreement together with other european partners we stand by it but we well when in saying that this issue of regional influence is a very worrying one particularly for the security of the state of israel well this is a pretty tough sell for benjamin netanyahu obviously doesn't seem like he had any influence on angle or merkel's ideas and expect pretty much the same as he heads to london to
12:04 pm
paris that's because european leaders are upset at the move by the united states to pull out of the iran deal they cite the years of diplomatic effort that went into getting the deal in the first place the economic value of the deal to many european could companies. the fact that a lot of the senior officials in europe particularly angela merkel feel let down by the united states pulling out of this so we can really expect benjamin netanyahu to hear similar things as he heads off to london and to paris. regrets the decision of u.s. ministration to withdraw from the deal what do we want to be vassals that would be blinded to what americans tell them we are insisting so much in keeping this agreement and we want to have economic relations with iran we've been acting already i think in the end you know on the other to make sure that the nuclear agreement is preserved yeah fudgie trump has lost the battle no one followed his
12:05 pm
decisions and now we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations on. the work some concessions from angela merkel towards benjamin netanyahu she said that germany would provide diplomatic assistance with dealing with what many and yet and yahoo called iranian meddling in certain parts of the world but when it came to issues like the moving of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. she didn't wasn't on side with that and also she called them the violence that sprung up around that decision that was made by donald trump so benyamin netanyahu goes off to try his luck with theresa may and emanuel mark or next but you can well imagine a similar type of reception will be awaiting him in both london and in paris as well. one down two to go will be across those meetings as well for now though peter all of our thanks for that. next cambridge analytic of the company at the
12:06 pm
center of a scandal for using private data for political ends is currently being discussed right now in the european parliament but even as that happens yet another scandal surfaced investigative journalist max blumenthal has published documents he says were leaked from cambridge analytical parent company they allegedly revealed that it had been collecting data for private military contractors in yemen as donald quarter now explains. remember the cambridge analytical scandal millions of people's personal information being mined for financial gain and influence cambridge and a little is 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 as c.e.o.
12:07 pm
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 it clear into its past 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
12:08 pm
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 one of the more disturbing passages and it was sort of language that was written in a sort of passive tense very euphemistically in the project titanic documents that
12:09 pm
i gathered from an internal company source is reference to eliminating. the young male target population if they can't be deterred from jihadist activity the language wasn't exactly eliminating but you know resorting to other means and that tends to refer in my mind to drone assassination what my investigation demonstrates is that there is this gigantic web of firms whose names we don't know who are operating in the darkness and they're being contracted by governments to not only spy in conflict zones and carry out counterinsurgency operations but to export those methods back into our electoral systems in the west the u.k. government's alleged involvement in the titanium project is based on its failed operatives who were required to register with the british foreign office for travel advice on operations i also the foreign office for a response on a way out but in their reply they only attached a link explaining all the travel advice service does. thanks to the iraqi
12:10 pm
court has sentenced a french woman to life in prison for joining the islamic state terror group escaping the death penalty. idea was captured last year in mosul and sentenced to seven months in prison for entering the country illegally now after the end of that sentence she is due to be deported to front. but prosecutors have demanded a retrial saying she violated the country's antiterrorism oh by following her husband to iraq they say he went there to join eisel now out of the almost two thousand people from france they went to fight the terror group is believe that many of them were radicalized while serving time in french prisons with the authorities now raising the alarm over the problem five hundred convicted terrorists are currently imprisoned in france right now and it's also thought that around twelve hundred other prisoners have reportedly been radicalized forty adu for release over the next two years and the country's leading counterterrorism prosecutor says that poses a major threat to the public. who is
12:11 pm
a major risk of seeing people who not a tool repentant at the end of this sentence leave prison and yet be even more radical after their time behind bars. and with many now questioning the initiative shala do bensky has been to visit europe's largest 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
12:12 pm
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 zome said opri com this prison is the largest in europe there are four thousand three hundred inmates it's overcrowded we don't have enough staff we have more than one hundred twenty radicalized inmates here so you can imagine our difficulties for a prison supervisor to handle this the forty alleged radicalized inmates who will soon get out of jail will likely find themselves on a counterterrorism watch list
12:13 pm
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 form inmates and with france having suffered so much suit terror attacks in recent years many would argue it's about time they did charlotte even ski r.t. paris. president putin has signed into law countermeasures that will allow russia
12:14 pm
to retaliate against any sanctions put on moscow correspondent the track has been going over the paperwork for us. by signing this bill into law a lot of our putin has basically given himself freedom of maneuver for hitting back at countries that are hostile to moscow so if someone chooses to punish russia russian companies possibly russian individuals that's something we've seen many times in recent years think the u.s. first of all all the russian president has to do now is say we are responding name specific countries and then the countermeasures will immediately enter into force among the counter measures that are available for the russian government the severing of ties with states and companies and also import and export bans target industry sectors though haven't been specified but as the legislation was
12:15 pm
drafted we heard about such sectors as nuclear power agriculture pharmaceuticals space and aviation and alcohol and tobacco industry's the issue is very sensitive so that was then dropped from the final text it requires more in-depth consideration but there is an important segment of the document which is about exceptions so if a certain type of goods falls under the bad however it is not produced in russia in this case these sanctions won't be applied it to track of that coming up after the break we take a look at european elections bringing up some strong anti migrant sentiments across the continent some stories still ahead. we have the privilege of being the most the united states. and many of the alliances promoted by the way in the united states in particular
12:16 pm
we've been members will we also have the privilege of being the. and that really group countries so it's going to decree it is going to be. this shows that pakistan will do what is in its national interest it will not just go with the real. you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go on to be this is what. three of the more people. interested in the water.
12:17 pm
back an immigration party has come out on top in another european election sunday's vote in slovenia saw the democratic party the s.t.'s win the most seats although it did fall far short of getting a majority it's been suggested the increase in support for the s.d.s. may be linked to the migrant crisis almost half a million pass through the country and twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen as they attempted to cross into western europe the winning party's leader claims that migrants would be better off staying in their own countries. who were cheering the biggest wave of mass migration we told our european partners life for those who want to come to europe should be secured in their home countries. let's get some thoughts now from civilian philosopher and social critic welcome back to mr you always good to talk to you it was a pretty inconclusive election result this but i suppose fairly significant indications of what voters are thinking right now do you think you've got a chance of forming
12:18 pm
a coalition of the parties don't seem too confident. i think it will be very difficult for you are this young shut the bottom up or leave because i don't sort of but i was sort of i don't understand the surprise on my go young shot one look i don't know a way out of that in the last election in almost all of the box elections yeah got more votes in these last election is just dead the leftists coalition which most of that i'm the least looking yeah go up to more dispersed but now and not to mention that i've been to smaller i mean the sad mike to us you stop so i think that these un to me get a nationalist that i think and so on east much weaker than he ever was but nonetheless i have he beat you they pretend they can see that i've been false why it is the same process all i don't wish there in europe the united states and so on and so on the ruling elites if you truly say last song dr
12:19 pm
so-called are going to be all of you know you want to get us who simply don't. get it but i send that by european institutions they think those who seek him but i suppose i don't hate that elite and day out of left behind in these opens up the spaces in the far and deep. orientations and i think this is not exactly the number because it's gone for me a monk who one who groups of people who look on what local unemployed and on the other end in me get on to and the heat. they reach people go through here ok seat safe in their seats in play here only you see those are you sees. that we are the good guys and so on and so on so again i just don't usually slip will be my own.
12:20 pm
just solution. but i suspect a little emotion stationing know that but for this is the problem isn't it if on the one side the populous part is a say you've got a richer late and ignoring your needs but it's quite another to maybe exploit the bandwagon of some of the world's most vulnerable people by tapping into fears justified or not of levels of immigration. i don't look at the it did beat you i'm not saying this. but these guys. by sudden silence in america and more and more could be very that sounds kind of saatchi's of east. oil i don't post getting the east central eastern europe and i even call it going to a better import of them which brought me. many enemies and you excess of evil baltic states that it probably can go to great yeah. it
12:21 pm
western europe least i see because of these protection the stronger nation state and saucepans so i don't give a damn but you know so we want to beat factories or test the gentleman the loss of back in the park these vile going to ben your sad that i use of every fact use them is a bet on the face of whatever you're ok i mean talk about it what you think the guy i would simply talk about least meaningful bit careless though there were use of the all of you know what ultimately that extra me strongly cation gift what do people where you are in the beyond your friends your neighbors what do they really think of the migrant crisis because and correct me if i'm wrong as far as slovenia is concerned at the height of the migrant crisis when hungary closed its borders many migrants made their way through slovenia but they were trying to get to france to germany and into britain they didn't stay in slovenia so what do people where you are really think of the migrant crisis. if you ask me what i think opinion i
12:22 pm
would say we were good humored documented bad people to be sent once from a safe distance least there was according to our established for human economy i was excited sort of that a few days they were going to mostly intercept that at the bar or better in the box or planes and don't spark that directly to australia and you had a little bit surprised incidentally how many of them when i asked would you like to stay here they said no no you have to pull a counter if you don't have money lead away or whatever so don't. be quite as bad as lead to beach like at the highest point up to five thousand people across the border going to daily but that's what it was well organized so it wasn't these crises but again deity it was easy but affected with how and how one can beat it when it doesn't cost too much an abstract human he died young we
12:23 pm
are not but a very young we don't flown through why are from our floor and someone in some warm . ups that i could lead but when you really see me but going through your confidence and of course i don't blame the fool you get i'm sorry you can have it your and be pleasing but that you can be damned we should do something what if then but of course it's a moment everybody group will be for get our o. supreme you know someone and so on and so on so and i think we were knocking that event completely smooth. so dead. it didn't look course any you actually model year or explosion among the. ok it's always a learning to talk to you on any subject thanks very much for joining us today though you might have another election before the year's through you all those lovely but thanks very much for joining us for now from will be on it thank you very much. next an expert investigating the ground
12:24 pm
for tower fire in london has said that safety measures were in out of course and that the authorities advice to stay put failed the damning assessment comes as part of a public inquiry into the tragedy in which seventy two people were killed last year with an update on today's hearing his need to refute or the purpose of the inquiry is to obviously look at the circumstances surrounding the night of the tragedy to see if it could have been prevented and the emergency services were looked at as well as the cladding now if you look at the emergency services it says that there should have been forty six minutes between the first phone call to nine nine nine and a response that didn't happen in fact they said that there was a total failure of the stay put policy they also looked at the clothing and this was really interesting actually when they talked about certain materials that we use during refurbishment a material called polyethylene which is a highly combustible polymer was used and apparently it melts when exposed to fire
12:25 pm
and it acts as a fuel when it comes to fire mr mallock millet who is leading the inquiry said that this was the worst loss of domestic life by fire since world war two and we all know what happened that night. following this tragic night the government obviously promised to house all those who lost their homes but in fact was. happen in practice is only sixty two added two hundred nine have been house since this has caused widespread protests to car
12:26 pm
across the country over the year and people have been demanding answers but this inquiry it's not a quick fix i have to warn you of that they gave a whole timeline as to how long it was going to take it's going to be months they have one hundred thirty five witness statements alone to look at so yes you know the public want answers but they are going to have to wait until they get all the answers and further action taken. now there are two to reporting from london that's it for me keeping them up to date on the coming hour as you know neal. i just want to. make this manufacture come sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go
