germany. the israeli prime minister europe. the european parliament looks into the misuse of. cambridge. company was involved in this country insurgency operation in yemen. also had president putin signs new legislation to give russia greater scope for. french authorities. in prisons are.

overcrowded security. around the clock across the world international from the team. welcome to the program 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 just a little earlier and i've spoken to journalists in the german capital bring this up to date with all developments. well the german 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

a very bad deal because it gave you are the capacity also to develop advanced sort of features forty times more effective in the intervening years so that 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 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 stop angola merkel fell on day eight 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. we have differing opinions and the use. of a joint comprehensive package does not fly and this is what remains and we'll have more transparency that's the position we will hold. 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 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 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 regret the decision of the u.s. administration to withdraw from the deal. to be persons that would be to put american style we have to stick so much ink in this agreement one time economic relations with iran. to. get you know another to make sure that the nuclear the mentees pursuit yeah trump has lost the battle no one followed his decision and now

we have to make good on the feeling of appreciation for the work some concessions from angela merkel towards benjamin netanyahu she said that germany would provide diplomatic assistance with dealing with what many vignetting yahoo called iranian meddling in certain parts of the world so benjamin netanyahu goes off to try his luck with tourism a and a manual mark or next but he can well imagine a similar type of reception will be awaiting him and both london and in paris as well political scientists might get bought trust told us any fear mongering by netanyahu will be ineffective trying to raise fears with his european partners. in two aspects first the long range missiles. the iranians. the border with israel and other things.

raising. iranians after seven years after the maturation of the their. nuclear arsenal. and not only for the peaceful purposes many friends in the yuki have expressed their. clear political position that they are not abandoning it they are not sacrificing it for the seek of the u.s. or israel. cambridge analytic at the company at the center of a scandal for using private data for a political lens is currently being discussed in the european parliament but even as that happens yet another issue has surfaced investigative journalist mark blumenthal has published documents he ses were leaked from cambridge analytic as parent company b. allegedly revealed valeted had been collecting data for private military contractors in yemen you're sorry donal 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 online 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 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 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 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 the foreign office for a response however in their reply only attached a link explaining what the travel advice service does. an iraqi court sentenced a french woman to life in prison escaping the death penalty for joining the islamic state terror group. molina was captured last year in mosul. and was 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 their retrial saying 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 frost that went to fight with the terror group it is believed many were radicalized while serving time in french prisons with the authorities raising the alarm over the problem five hundred convicted terrorists are currently imprisoned in france while it's thought around twelve hundred other prisoners have reportedly been radicalized with forty two for release over the next two years the country's leading terror terrorism prosecutor says this poses a major threat to the public. who are these good measures a major brisk of seeing people who not atoll repentant at the end of the sentence

leave prison and yet be even more radical over their time behind bars with many questioning vanished have charlotte dubin ski 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 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 are difficult it is for a prison supervised to handle this the forty alleged radicalized inmates who will soon get out of jail will likely find themselves on a count to ten. watchlist and listed already run into the tens of thousands two

thousand if you can sit it dangerous tragically even those on the watch list often slip through the fingers of security says. 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. president putin signed into law culture measures that will allow

russia to retaliate against any sanctions part. 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 entities and then the countermeasures will immediately enter into force among the counter measures that are available for the russian government are the severing of ties with states and companies and also import and export bans target industry sector. 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 use 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. until the immigration party has come out on top in another european election sunday's vote in slovenia so the democratic party or s.d.s. win the most seats although it fell far short of a majority it's been suggested be increasing support for s.d.s. may be linked to the migrant crisis and its hardline stance on the issue almost half a million people pass through the country in twenty fifteen and sixteen as they attempted

to cross into western europe the winning parties leader. claims migrants would be better off staying in their own countries. which during 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 country of. slovenian philosopher as lawyer and brave of the rise of right wing nationalist parties is being driven by a fundamental disconnect between politicians and large swathes of the public. it's just same process all out on western europe united states and so on and so on the morning league elite's is usually say last song dr week so quote we're going to be all of you know you want to get us all seen. it but it's by european institutions and these opens up this phrase in the. us as far as slovenia is concerned of the height of the migrant crisis when i'm

very 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 they want to go to the established thought that if you're just going to mostly intercept the ball better into a box of crayons and don't spark that directly to australia and who are a little bit surprised you see then tell me how many of them when i asked would you like to stay here that's it no no you have a couple. of money laid away or whatever so. we will be tracking like the highest. but over the border in neighboring italy the freshly form euro skeptic government is also a sending out a hostile message to illegal immigrants the new interior minister matteo salvini who some describe as i please answer to donald trump said his country will not

become a refugee camp and that newcomers need to make other plans. well you know treatment is really need not apply to you. you are going to be. speaking in this is silly and ports of catan you're a promise to reduce the number of illegal immigrants arriving and also as you saw pledge to get to work and deportations policy of us putting devices in italy. i think the soviets writes i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrival ones what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing. so when he should not be in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse ethnic groups and diverse people becomes completely closed immigrant traffic pay up 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'm sure that so many

will not be able to stop migration he will not have the parliament support. literally has been one of the main points of entry to europe for migrants and refugees arriving from north africa and the middle east over six hundred thousand have arrived in the country since twenty fourteen one recent poll suggests that fifty eight percent of a tell us are fearful of immigration but director of the italian institute for international political studies the sky says the issue today artie's worlds apart. ninety percent of the migrants. comes from libya. was a very important trading partner. which is important as you know you can buy all your. needs pipe and the pipe. too too easily and it's a source for migration. so of course we are affected and we played. right and relevant role. the.

an expert investigating the grenfell tower a fire in london said that safety measures were not acquit enough the authorities advice to stay putout effectively failed the dumbing assessment comes as part of a public inquiry into the trench me in which seventy two people lost their lives in june with updates on monday's hearing hears them to richard or. 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 cutting and this was

really interesting actually when they talked about certain materials that we use during refurbishment a material called poly ether lein which is a highly combustible polymer was used and 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.

following this tragic night the government obviously promised to has 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 cause 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 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 one but they are going to have to wait until may catch all the answers and further action taken. donald trump and his attorney seem to believe the u.s. president is in an invincible position within the white house just a few hours ago donald trump tweeted that among the powers at his disposal is one

to even pardon himself while his lawyer former new york mayor rudy giuliani went on record explaining that trump would need to be impeached before facing any legal action for whatever reason do you in the present attorneys believe the president has the power to pardon himself. he's not but he probably does. he has no intention of himself but he probably doesn't say you can't you know the comments come after the u.s. president pardoned a noted 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 picking up the story this hour a killer. 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. 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 all right our lord. president of the united states. 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 last 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 of 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 wield the while in office that's their core problem until they get over that they're going to be writing a lot of. switching gears now it is ten days unkind to only ten days until the event the biggest at full of event kicks off in russia all of the year so what better time to catch up with former brazil defender two time world cup winner cat food he give us some insight into how his nation might perform at this summer's tournament. well expectations are really high not only concerning the world cup in russia but also concerning the world cup in general especially regarding the brazilians seem pressure it is high you are fighting for a world cup with the brazilian team there are more than two hundred twenty million

brazilians that still hundreds and twenty million football coaches two hundred and twenty million football fans so that 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 we know of course sometimes it doesn't happen the way you want to see 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. team our team is fired up and ready to go for our special coverage through russia's first ever world cup.

the. lead. that sort of see a. global

warming are telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles they are going. to do socks for to tell you that will be gossip and probably by itself the most important day. off about telling you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. time after time say we're going underground on the day nearly six million members of the u.k. trade union congress celebrate one hundred fifty years of standing up for working people against power coming up on the show it's all to.
