branscombe small. the pain is indescribable it's feels like a really really bad chemical burn but it goes through your skin in your muscle all is down to the bone. there is no relief. so we're just not sure this is let's just. subscribe to rob people. for just twelve euros fifty a month. david i suppose used the words of the cards for him differently from them as a child so it may have been present. we we agree with i. think areas have pointed

out the am i find from the u.k. home office after a government report details the security theories that could have profound terror attacks that's rocked great britain and twenty seventeen. after seventeen years and billions of dollars spent a new study finds that america's war on terror has quadrupled the number of islamist extremists around the world. and give up your google frayne jam peas are told to ditch their use of the web giant for the local alternative by the new year as president of micron pushes for more independence from the united states. coming to you live from moscow this is our national welcome to the program. the

u.k. intelligence and security committee has released their report on security failures during major terror attacks suffered by the u.k. and twenty seventeen artie's in the theater you can and gives us the details david on this in these records used the words have the codes for them differently then there's a chance it may have been prevented and we we agree with that this is quite a damning report that was indeed released today by the intelligence and security committee of parliament focusing on the terrorist attacks that shook the u.k. back in twenty seventeen the westminster attack the manchester arena london bridge finsbury park and parsons green those five attacks that ended up taking a total of thirty six people's lives now on the manchester attack specifically the attackers bed this report talks about how he was able to visit extremist in prison more than one time however without any follow up from the police or the m i five he

was also apparently been able to return from libya without any interception from officials just days before killing twenty two people that pop concerts in manchester and also it's been said in this report that he was actually flagged for review and known to the m i five since twenty fourteen however he was not referred to the government's anti-terrorism programme this is a bit of what the report had to say on the. we concluded that there were a number of failures in the handling of some of the biggest case it's impossible to say whether any of these if any of these had not happened but the devastating turn of the twenty second of may could have been prevented but we can say that as a result of the failings the opportunities to prevent it were missed we previously made recommendations in all of these areas yet the government failed to talk of the lessons to last year's tragic events must no result be real. well

among some of the other issues highlighted in this report on the london bridge attack or this committee had found that the attacker was actually arrested eight months prior to the attack but was released they also spoke about how he was known for his links to an extremist group in the u.k. and that m i five intelligence services believed that he was supportive of isis it was also talked about in this report about some of the files and documents that were found on him that authorities had believed at the time could have led to him being prosecuted under the terrorism act however none of those things of course as we now know happened and among some other things on the westminster also underscored by the committee that officials failed to connect the dots and that that attacker had known links to al qaeda and yet nothing prevented him from carrying it out so really lots of questions raised about whether or not some of

those attacks could potentially have been prevented. afghanistan now feels like a more dangerous place than it did four years ago and that's according to the leader of a u.s. congressional delegation which visited the country this week pacifying the rise of the isis brain chin the region known as isis came to him banks and six others had to leave on tuesday just as they'd learned. side bombing in the afghan capital the attack on a religious celebration in kabul is one of the deadliest this year killing fifty five and injuring close to one hundred others islamic state is suspected of carrying out the bombing and there has been a wave of bloody violence and rescinds weeks and weeks huntress have died as militants stepped up their assaults and that a flurry of diplomatic efforts to and the seventeen year war on terror yeah to know that time more recently unveiled research shows it's had

a severely limited effect on tackling 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. in the 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 now 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. softly 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 included 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 or it is to have sufficient forces engaged in sufficient political engagement sufficient economic resources to make sure that we're putting pressure in disrupting those

networks the current administration just like the obama administration believes that it does not need any additional authorization to use force against al qaida the taliban all right all right i suspect 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. r.t. new york. google as francis the latest target and its push to be a less dependent on non european and following on from president mccrone school for an e.u. army france now wants to wean itself off the web giant and use its own alternative well here is our paris correspondent charlotte. much corn and trumps friendship is down in the dumps right now but it seems that the fission between 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 quantz 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 given that u.s. intelligence can access data on companies clouds south where they're located both the french national assembly and the french army ministry and now sitting court as they default. saying to digital colonisation. 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 from 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 front is looking to make sure it slips out from under. the u.s. is net the french 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 giants. villages and the west bank are still i'm sure of the fate of their homes and decision was taking in may by israel to remove their residence and bulldoze their

watching our international welcome back talks on succession to the european union are back on the agenda this thursday with officials in the turkish capital ankara spend praise for making positive steps but it was trust that it's too early to talk about opening a new chapter and relations or even moving further with e.u. membership talks turkey has repeatedly been knocked back since nine hundred eighty seven when it first applied for membership although accession talks began eighty years later and they have stalled several times over territorial issues with cyprus twenty sixteen began on a more positive footing with brussels and ankara signing a refugee deal it meant turkey would howl. take the burden off the migrant influx and exchange for excess talks later that year however

a coup against president are the one derailed relations and revealed this here the e.u. commission's a long term budget proposal it excludes turkey turkey is still working on six remaining requirements to ease visa access for turkish citizens and europe is still unhappy about a number of internal issues in the country including the rule of law and human rights and the and definite detention of journalists and has also had strained relations with some of the blocs leading members. i can see turkey being admitted to the european union i have never been able to see it happening. a germany you have no relation whatsoever to democracy and you should know that your current actions different to those of the nazi period. jeopardizing everything that you have built together with your unspeakable nazi comparisons do not cut the ties

to those who want a partnership with. i'm calling on all my countrymen in germany the christian democrats the s.t.p. and the green party all enemies of turkey support those political parties who are not enemies of turkey turkey has from a minister affairs both ankara and the union will benefit of turkey is accepted into the block. this is a win win scenario for turkey for turkey's neighbors and especially for european union today european leaders have started to understand that europe needs turkey at least as much as turkey needs europe but this is a unique relationship and it takes two to tango yes we want to be a part of the european union family but they have to want us as well or else we have other options that we will be able to utilize we have been trying to become a member since the one nine hundred fifty eight we are determined to increase the

living standards of the turkish people to the living standards of ordinary even member citizens that's why we are committed treason to this path and if. they had a fresh us military intelligence died on wednesday the russian defense ministry has reported he was sixty three the defense ministry of the russian federation general staff of the armed forces and main directorate of the general staff of the armed forces inform with great sadness that on twenty one november two thousand and eighteen after a serious and long illness head of the g.r.u. and deputy chief of the g.s.a. colonel general corps above eager volunteer novich passed away aged sixty three core above took over the office two years ago after his pretty sesar died from a heart attack during his time of the helm of the g.r.u. the agency was accused of several attacks abroad including poisoning former russian

spy i think a script out and his daughter and souls bury core above leaves behind a wife and two daughters. however some commentators and the west are not satisfied with the official explanation of core above staff and took to twitter to share their version of what happened. the head of the g.r.u. accused of election hacking poisoning sergei downing m.h. seventeen and other assorted foreign policy gambits has died of illness aged sixty two his previous sesar died aged fifty eight in twenty sixteen. the long and serious illness lost to two seconds as he fell out of window some say i guess he should be happy that he didn't stop himself in the back before throwing himself out the window. after having the entire russian g.r.u. network in europe exposed and ridiculed following the success was going to process a nation the head of the g.r.u. suddenly dies of a long and serious illness and while to discuss the story in more details let's now

cross life to a russian based journalist brian macdonald welcome to the program here on our change or national so even opposition media in russia agree that cora both had been seriously sick for a long time why do you think these conspiracy theories on social media. i think there's two reasons i think one is the lack of knowledge of russia or a lack of interest in having knowledge of russia so pure ignorance in other words and the second reason is just playing to stereotypes looking for. looking for like . the modern currency of the rosco or to scoundrel as it may be. well when car bumps pretty sesar died there was a wave of articles also questioning whether he had died of natural causes is it so surprising that a person in a position of such have a responsibility died from

a heart attack. no of course not i mean it's it's a difficult job and unfortunately life expectancy. is lower than in a lot of western countries. the military coaster in russia tends to be a very macho and they would say manly kind of place and they wouldn't i suppose attending doctors and looking after yourself too carefully is considered a time of weakness in that culture and i'm not saying that's the case for. me and he may well have been very diligent but my sources say that he's been battling cancer for several years and one particular source in moscow said that it was a measure of the man that even when he became very sick he refused to abandon his ship he never quit even though in summer he had to reduce to his deputy. who has now taken over completely. director of the agency. russia said g

r u has been facing criticism for basically everything from modeling and the us elections to a failed coup in montenegro no solid evidence has been presented so far but new accusations continue to emerge as we can see are such claims really about getting to the truth or is accused us more of a foreign policy tool. i think look at the end of the day if we stick to the topic at hand i mean the money. has been used by people who should know better to kind of you know cain currency said in twitter like for example you just gave some of the there before he fell from a window or but you know very soon what some of the people who like for example john sweeney of the b.b.c. i mean he professes to be an expert on russia he should know better than to be pushing you know conspiracies like that i mean he's no better than you know people in britain who pushed conspiracies over nine eleven or the death of david kelly for example you see then. the former moscow correspondent the guardian you know writing

you know i mean this is a guy who really should know a lot better that kind of text is beneath contempt. absolutely beneath contempt i mean at the end of day even the liberal media here as you said at the. moscow radio benedict of who's a famous opposition journalist. they are all saying that it's true that he died of natural causes that he was in for a long time you know. this is how it is i mean and you know i mean there's no conspiracy in russia now i do accept as well that people don't have to accept everything the russian government says is true of course not i mean i mean nobody should ever accept everything and the government says to be gospel truth but it doesn't necessarily mean that everything they say is a lie as well. and it doesn't mean that every single russian that is this is as i mean a sixty two year old. sixty two year old man unfortunately died of cancer all over the world all the time in various positions and it doesn't mean that windows all

right thank you so much for sharing your insight with us that was russian based journalist brian macdonald. all right and we're moving on leonardo da vinci has been dragged into a aroud between the french president and it's these deputy prime minister and trading insults online now rome is reconsidering loaning the masteries priceless works for a major acts of paris. we need to renegotiate everything the french cannot have it all now not use it talent humidor i did france to give the louvre all these paintings would put eataly on the margins of a major cultural event paris's famed louvre museum was hoping to borrow some of the vinci is notable works for a big show in twenty nineteen marking five hundred here since his death rome also stressed that france should ban and return alone something equally important like
