standing steadfast to germany's chancellor stresses her commitment to the nuclear deal as the israeli prime minister arrives in europe to lobby against it. the european parliament looks into that misuse of private data. cambridge only while more revelations show the phone company was involved in a secret country in storage and see operation in yemen. with new legislation that aims to give russia greater scope for retaliate against foreign sanctions. french authorities scramble to tackle the threat of radicalization in prison arts he travels to europe's largest jail
1:01 pm
where guards say it's overcrowded and that security is inadequate. just eight pm here in moscow this monday june the fourth welcome to r.t. international i mean an o'neill our top story the israeli prime minister is in berlin on the first leg of his european trip where he's seeking to push for the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal to be dropped. german chancellor angela merkel wrapped up their talks in the last couple of hours and have spoken to journalists in the german capital brings us more. well benjamin netanyahu certainly being trying on this first leg 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 is lead and move away from the iran nuclear deal that was
1:02 pm
a very bad deal because it gave you are the capacity also to develop advanced sort of futures forty times more effective in the intervening years so that could have a limited enrichment capacity in a few years that's not a good deal we see that iran is devouring one country after the other and the deal also released a lot of cash for you ron 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 still anger merkel fell on deaf ears the german chancellor using her time addressing the media to say that germany and herself remain committed to trying to save the iran deal us we have differing opinions and the use. of a joint comprehensive package does not fly in this agreement we'll have more transparency that's the position we will hold in journalism well this is a pretty tough sell for benjamin netanyahu obviously doesn't seem like he had any
1:03 pm
influence on angle or merkel's ideas and expect pretty much the same as he heads to london to 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 that deal in the first place the economic value of the deal to many european 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 spend to netanyahu to hear similar things as he heads off to london to paris to government redress the decision of the us administration to with. from the field would we want to be fossils that would have. to stick so much thinking is it didn't want to become grecians would run this thing i think you know you never want to make sure that the nuclear agreement is preserved yeah but it has lost the bastard no one
1:04 pm
followed his decision and now we have to make good on the feeling of obligation to . the work some concessions from angela merkel towards benjamin netanyahu she said that germany would provide diplomatic assistance with dealing with what many vignette 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 i'm glad merkel said she didn't want him on side with that and also she called ember violence that sprung up around that decision that was made by donald trump so many netanyahu goes off to try his luck with theresa may and emanuel mccormick's but he can well imagine a similar type of reception will be awaiting him and both london and in paris as well. cambridge the company at the center of a scandal for using private data for political ends is currently being the scarcest
1:05 pm
in the european parliament but even as that happens you get another issue has surfaced investigative journalism blumenthal published documents he ses were leaked from cambridge analytic as parent company b. allegedly revealed that it had been collecting data for private military contractors in yemen here's r t s donald quarter. 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
1:06 pm
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 nie she'll think 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 it clear in through 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
1:07 pm
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 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
1:08 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 field operatives who are required to register with the british foreign office for travel advice on operations that we have asked the foreign office for response all not
1:09 pm
however in their reply is the only attempts to link explaining what the travel advice service does. an 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 sent. instead to seven months in prison for entering the country illegally after the end of the sentence she is jus to be deported home to france but prosecutors demanded that retrial seeing she violated the country's antiterrorism law by following her husband to iraq they say he went there to join. well one of the almost two thousand people from france that went to fight with a terror group it's believed many 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 while it's thought around
1:10 pm
twelve hundred other prisoners have reportedly been radicalised with forty due for release over the next two years well the country's leading country terrorism prosecutor sees that pose as a major threat to the public. who measures a major risk 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 well with many questioning the initiative sharla dubin ski has been to visit europe's largest . 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.
1:11 pm
ya done move every day in from prison guards are attacked we have been off the next one thousand one hundred supervisors of the next four years but for now we don't see anything happening we're tired of this but you were the first t.v. channel i'm telling this to you 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 there cools the health a 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
1:12 pm
overcrowded 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 to terrorism watch list a list that already once 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 circuses.
1:13 pm
french authorities say they have to do more to properly monitor form 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. president putin signed into law countermeasures that will allow russia to retaliate against any sanctions put on sco correspondent who 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
1:14 pm
among the countermeasures 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 drafted we heard about such sectors as nuclear power agriculture pharmaceuticals space and aviation 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 banner however it is not produced in russia in this case these sanctions won't be applied. italy's new government is ramping up the rhetoric with officials saying the country will not become
1:15 pm
a refugee camp that story and more after the break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express.
1:16 pm
what's it like to be close this is what the local korean people are. interested always in the last. sixty minutes into the program welcome back italy's freshly formed euro skeptic government is sending out a tough message to illegal immigrants the new minister interior minister excuse me must teo salvini whom some describe. donald trump has said his country will not become a refugee camp and that newcomers need to make other plans. you know what it is really needed to. be very. very you are going
1:17 pm
to be. speaking in the sicilian port of the promise to reduce the number of illegal immigrants arriving in the country he also as you saw pledged to get to work on deportations a policy that's proving divisive in the cli. i think this is right i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrival was what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing. so vinnie should not be in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse ethnic groups and diverse people becomes 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. well italy has been one of the main points of entry to europe for migrants and refugees
1:18 pm
coming from north africa in the middle east over six hundred thousand have arrived in the country since twenty four thousand alone and one recent poll suggests that fifty eight percent of a tell us are fearful of immigration the director of the italians to cheat for international political studies discusses the issue today on artie's world support . ninety percent of the migrants live and meet and he comes from libya. and he was a very important trading partner and he's a source of gossip which is important as you know you can buy all you it's on the web our but gossip needs pipe and the pipe from the two to italy and it's the source of all trouble and for my patients as they say so of course reflected and we played your right as relevant role after the outing of the did get duffy.
1:19 pm

there and i'm sure they die. expert investigating the gren fell tower fire in london said that safety measures were inadequate and that the authorities advice to stay put how effectively feel the dumbing assessment comes as part of a public inquiry into the tragedy in which seventy two people were killed last june with an update on monday's hearing here is not you richard. the purpose of the inquiry is to obviously look at the circumstances surrounding the night of the tragedy. 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
1:21 pm
use during refurbishment a material called poly ether lein which is a highly combustible polymer was used in apparently it melts when exposed to fire 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.
1:22 pm
following this tragic night the government obviously promised to house all those who lost their homes but in fact what's happened in practice is only sixty two out of two hundred nine have been house since this has caused widespread protests to call 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 that they gave the whole time. 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 but they are going to have to wait until they catch all the answers and further action taken. it's pretty hard to believe but it's just ten days and counting until football's biggest living kicks off here in russia so what better time to catch up with former brazil defender and two time world cup winner he gives some insight into how his nation
