seventeen billions of dollars spent a new study finds that. the number of islamist extremists are wrong in the world. of the web.

as president pushes for more independence from washington. we. are. taking a trip. also coming up on the show. forces the italian fashion. a lot of. the company claims its social media. around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome. feels like a more dangerous place than it did for. years ago the words of the leader of

a u.s. congressional delegation which visited the country this week specifying the rise of the isis branch in the region known as ises kay jim bikes to leave on choose they just as they'd learned of a suicide bombing in the afghan capital the attack on a religious celebration in kabul is one of the deadliest this for killing fifty five and injuring close to one hundred more islamic state is suspected of carrying out the bombing there's been a wave of bloody violence in recent weeks in which hundreds have died as militants stepped off their assault at a flurry of diplomatic efforts to and this seventeen year old war on terror yet in all of our time more recently veiled research shows it's how the severely limited effect on tackling the extremism. the horrendous attacks that took place on september eleventh two thousand and one in which nearly three thousand people lost their lives were followed up by the launch of the u.s.

war on terror that was seventeen years ago and the war on terror is still taking place it certainly produced results but not the kind of results that many were expecting a new study shows that at this point there are roughly four times as many just hottest in the world as there were at the time of the nine eleven attacks at this point there's two hundred thirty thousand militants spread across seventeen different countries while the united states and allied governments have weakened some groups many of the underlying causes of terrorism have not been adequately addressed sunni arab disenfranchisement has been among the most important causes of instability and an important source of recruits but how can this be by twenty nineteen the usa will have spent five point nine trillion dollars on counterterrorism operations and activities and at this point researchers are saying that the us military brass lacks a coherent roadmap there is no strategy to end the wars other than more of the same

in the hope that one day iraqi and afghan security forces will be able to fend for themselves now the costs are not simply financial but also come in terms of human lives the latest study indicates that roughly half a million people have died as a result of america's post nine eleven wars now that only includes iraq pakistan and afghanistan with the authors of the study saying that with other countries including the numbers would be much higher. now there's no sign that america's drones missiles and tax dollars will stop rolling anytime soon the art is to have sufficient forces engaged in sufficient political engagement sufficient economic resources to make sure that we're putting pressure and dropping those networks the current administration just like the. ministration believes that it does not need any additional authorization to use force against al qaida the taliban or isis we're not leaving based on

a timetable terrorism is something that all civilized people oppose working to eradicate it is certainly an honorable goal however with such a dismal results at such a high human cost perhaps the overall strategy of the war on terror should be reconsidered caleb r.t. new york. the other story that caught our eye today u.s. secretary of state mike pompei who is threatening grave consequences to anyone shipping all oil to syria and trying to prop up assad the u.s. treasury department slops sanctions on tuesday on three oil companies on several people involved in selling iranian oil to syria. united states today sanctions and international network that the iranian regime and russia are using to provide millions of barrels of oil to the assad regime this is in exchange for the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars to the i.r.g.c. could force that money is then passed on to terrorist organizations like hezbollah

and hamas and some of the details on what we know here at the new sanctions focus on one arena and company into russia based companies while the individuals those six there are targeted from various countries and they include iran and russia moscow has condemned washington's latest move claiming it will only strengthen the position of terrorists. the effort to charge others with providing oil to syria which is back to terrorist aggression for seven years looks like his statement of support for terrorists and similar taney slee an effort to hamper the reconstruction of the war torn country much of its population is deprived of electricity and heating does the us really want this. or beirut based political analyst omar in the shabby went one further saying that the u.s. is affectively giving aid to the remnants of islamic. no ironic that the united states that claims claims to be fighting terrorism and is imposing sanctions on

those who defeated isis to those who participated and the war is still ongoing in eastern syria. isis is not completely dismantled yet there is more of a war effort by the syrian army with the help of the russian army with the help of the iranian forces in order to completely destroy this terrorist organization and these terrorist organizations that are affiliated to it that are threatening the whole world these sanctions are illegitimate they are illegitimate against syria they are illegitimate against iran they are illegitimate against hezbollah because they are baseless they are not based on a decision made by the united nations or by some actions that are proven to be illegal actions or by direct support for any terrorist organizations. leonardo da vinci has been dragged into or rather between the french president and its elise deputy prime minister who have been creating insults online that has led

them has spread to a much wider now it seems that france is even turning its back on us tech giant google so what do you do if you want something on the internet here you couldn't it it'll catch on i'm sure we have to set an example security and digital sovereignty are at stake here which is not merely an issue for geeks only quotes is partly french and so far it's been free of major data breach scandals and it claims that it doesn't track uses which is perhaps one of the worries of government officials here from the u.s. intelligence can access data on companies clouds. where they're located both the french national assembly and the french army ministry and now sitting court as they default. saying to digital colonization isn't this what few if we

don't regulate the internet we risk up setting the fundamentals of democracy if we don't regulate companies relationships to data and the rights of our citizens have to their own data that access and sharing what is the point of a democratically elected government is this another major step away from america and towards a european defense force if so it won't be music to is in washington. already faced the wrath of trump after suggesting that europe needed an army to defend itself from countries including the good ole us of a what came next was a twitter rant from trump telling the french that they would be speaking german if not for america's help as the will to moves increasingly towards digital warfare fronts is looking to make sure it slips out from under. the u.s. is now that the french have shown that they are very concerned about data privacy

issues but also about the domination of u.s. technology giants it will be interesting to see how this is followed in other countries and by other moves in france do the french equally discriminate against global cloud service providers in the way that they're discriminating here against a global search engine a lot of this is going to play out and there's a lot of pressure on some of the countries in europe to keep data on shore for data sovereignty reasons to focus on supporting local technology companies especially ones that are going to pay tax in the countries that they serve which is a criticism that has been bought against some global technology jones. let's crack on a move to the middle east where villagers in the west bank are still unsure of the fate of their homes a decision was taken in may by israel to remove the residents on both of those
