they lost their jobs got laid off. that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to. subscribe to rub people up for just twelve euros fifty per month. david owns or use the words of the cards for him differently then there's a chance they may have been present. we we agree with our. fingers pointing at the m i five a new home office after a government report details security failures that could have prevented a string of terror attacks that rocked great britain in 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. french m.p.'s and told to ditch their use of the web giant for the local alternative by the new year as president mark from pushes for more independence from the united states. and you're watching all t. international live from moscow with nina to tutor welcome to the program. well kurt and should have been done to prevent the major terror attack suffered by the u.k. in twenty seventeen that's the conclusion of a new report from the u.k. intelligence and security committee which has found that m i five mr a number of opportunities to avert the tragic events. neither m i five nor counterterrorism

police took any follow up action and my five decided not to place travel monitoring all travel restrictions on some of the baby and wife i've admitted that given the information they had on the baby they should have done so deficiencies in m i five system for monitoring those individuals of interest but in my five systems move too slowly one can see how the outcome could have been different or might have been different if certain things that happened which did not. chairman the words were echoed by other members of the committee who similarly stress that lack of coordination between the intelligence services and the home office had a part in failing to prevent the try to days and the see a joke that gives us more details. david ansen he's recalled use the words have the cards for and differently then there's a chance they may have been prevented and we we agree with that little puddle did

not request support from the home office intervention provided a call which would normally should have been this has a lot of those things been that it touched may not have been stopped but there was warning signals that would not follow the polarity only which should have been so we can all say it was a difference the lack of research could have been a difference 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.

but. now on the manchester talk specifically the attacker solomon abedi the support 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 at that pop concert in man. chester 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 program 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 attack 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 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 attacker 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 attack also underscored by the committee that officials feel 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 according to 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 isis kate jim banks and six others had to

leave on tuesday just as they had learned of the suicide bombing in the afghan capital is. back on every side of creation couple is one of the deadliest they see it getting fifty five and injuring close to one hundred death as islamic state is suspected of carrying out the bombing that's been a way for the financing of recent leaks in which hundreds have died as minutes and stuff but that was sold amid a flurry of diplomatic efforts to end the seventeen year war on terror yet in a lot of time more recently unveiled. 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. 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 common terms of human

lives the latest study indicates that roughly half a million people have died as a result of the. 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 or 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. france's latest tongue in its push to be less dependent on non even pain and following on from president. france now wants to wean itself off the web giant and use its own alternative has all paris correspondent shot it depends. 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 hit you couldn't it it will 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 given that 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 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 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. says 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 giant's. talks on turkey's accession to the european union are back on the agenda this thursday with the e.u. officials in the turkish capital and chris been praised for making positive steps but it was stressed if it it's too early to talk about opening a new chapter in relations or moving further with the e.u. membership talks turkey has repeatedly been knocked back since one thousand nine hundred eighty seven when it first apply for membership although a session talks began eight years later they've stalled several times over territorial issues with cyprus twenty sixteen began on a more positive footing with brussels and cross signing

a refugee deal it meant turkey would help take the burden of the migrant influx in exchange for a session talks later that year however a coup against president. relations and revealed this year the e.u. commission's long term budget proposal 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 indefinite detention of journalists and chris also being 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 and no different to those of the nazi period president your jeopardizing everything that you've built together with others and your unspeakable

nazi comparisons do not cut the ties to those who want a partnership with turkey. i'm calling on all my countrymen in germany the christian democrats the s.t.p. and the green party are all enemies of turkey support those political parties who are not enemies of turkey. his former minister for affairs says both ankara and the union a will benefit if turkey is accepted into the book. 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 one thousand nine hundred thirty eight we are determined to increase the living standards of the turkish people to the living standards of ordinary member citizens that's why we are committed to this but. after the break a look at the division she divined as italy brushes off france as. quest to display the painter masterpieces fountain plenty more just ninety seconds away. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to.

get it right to be close it's like i'm up for three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested in the why is it that. this should. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. come back to the head of russia's military intelligence died on wednesday the russian defense ministry has reported to and he was sixty two yourself. 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 rich person away age to sixty two. got caught up after over the position two years ago after his predecessor died from a heart attack he served in russia's armed forces for the last forty five years of leaves behind a wife and two daughters. however some commentators in the west are not satisfied with the official explanation of karpov's death. the head of the g.r.u. accused of election hacking poisoning sergei downing m. age 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 lasted to 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 unsuccessful script our sasa nation the head of the g.r.u. suddenly dies of a long and serious illness and this violent dark gave us his thoughts on the car of our death and the reaction to it. nobody should ever accept everything any 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 who dies that is this is a specious i mean a sixty two year old man sixty two year old men unfortunately die of cancer all over the world all the time in various positions and it doesn't mean they've been

shown a true windows i mean there's two reasons i think one is the lack of knowledge of russia or other 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 likes which are the modern currency of the roscoe howard a scoundrel as it may be. palestinians facing eviction and losing their livelihoods have condemned the demolition of dozens of buildings in east jerusalem i don't say they would deliver notices concerning more than twenty palestinian and shops allegedly built without official permission locals say they will be left with no other option but to turn to refugee camps. the fate of many palestinians has been dragging on since may this year when israel decided to remove residents from the west bank only so their properties could be some of the giving up hope and i continue to fight for the head.

and if you know that israel wants to. happen. and look at it we're afraid for our families for our children how we living is very hard psychologically. and. that's what did we feel much stronger than netanyahu stronger than anyone in the world because we're fighting for the right thing and we're strong thanks to our belief and i'll work with god's help to stay on our land.

israel says the projects being coordinated alongside the palestinian authorities and will take place soon meanwhile israel has slammed on china's long awaited peace plan which outlines a road map to end the conflict in the region. they get between the palestinians and israelis is matched to begin although to bridge it to be bridged so you would tell trump president trump don't waste your time with this. earlier medina caution of a discuss trumps initiative with dr tom friedman from the hebrew university he says it will be clear whether the plan should be backed only after it's discussed between israel and the us. she gave an opinion that she believes personally about the plan that could be or not be when the plan is presented it will be discussed and debated at the israeli government and then the government itself will

decide whether to back it or not there is a pall actually that was released last month which found that seventy three percent of israelis do not believe that u.s. president donald trump's peace plan would actually lead to peace and again we heard from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he also said that he does not see any urgency and having the plan released so again a musky why do you think israel holding out for what could israel be holding out for why the rejecting that plan so strongly i think we have to differentiate between statements that are made publicly to statements that are made in rooms we are a democracy there is public opinion there is a way for everyone to express what they think in the government and outside of it but in the end the policy which is what israel is really believes is really government believes to do something that will be discussed. in in deliberations in

pro deliberations government and the american government trump planned the deal of the century it's not called the peace deal of the century it's called the deal of the century and that's something is very very important for israelis first off not having war peace will come later but the deal is a boat above all having lowering the cost of the. round up at the knees and i'll be back at the top of the hour with more updates but first here on out international is the alex thomas. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close to survival before three in the morning can't be good

. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. first sit. the british government and the british to stop and mrs mimms and mrs mrs may have looks themselves up into his studio about so-called new deal just so she's incredibly misleading as i just said in so doing they've allowed the european union to impose completely draco union service on the u.k.

which we've lost anyway. the russian military deteriorated terribly at the end of the soviet union and russia was always going to rebuild its military the question is how can we the united states and russia construct a relationship where we are both confident that all of the intentions or more confident of the intentions of the other so that we're not worried it's not. we shouldn't have weaponry but if we should make sure that our counterparts understand why we have it and when and where we would use it. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine happy

each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent just last year somewhat four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one show you know for a minute the one and only. i've .

come to the alex savin show this week it's not back to the future but back to bricks it gets most offensive the last week the subject is back yes again at the top of the agenda in this week's show we examine whether the prime minister can secure support for her brics a deal from with the conservative party we talked to the two key third parties in the commons arrest mystic or throughout allies in the democratic union s on the pro european a said p and alex talks to hollywood star brian cooks up. his intervention in the european debate i know suffice some light hearted relief from the boys of pricks it by playing the newly launched bricks a board game with its creator danny headland but first your tweets i messages were received eleanor mr sports to our special remembered programs on the loss of live in customer largest loss of life in british naval history first we hear from gabby who speaks of artist and jacqueline who be featured last week gary says i've had the pleasure of meeting both earnest and jacqueline tyler at the memorial service

for the link astra at the katherine creature which in london artist is quite a remarkable man who deserves recognition first head of islam as to all the other personnel who were serving their country or were civilians that were onboard on that fateful day nathan says two wonderful episodes about the last of the lancaster i especially enjoyed the interviews with the survivors handled with respect lest we forget that the as he says good documentary a personal thank you to you and mark chris for your efforts to bring this disaster to the public notice my father was a survivor of the sinking and when he received his medal from the scottish parliament it became a prized possession bill says i had been aware that mr sam it'd been instrumental in getting the scottish government towards a lancastrian meadow and then and she says my great grandfather was one of the men who lost his life on the land castillo my grandmother talks often about it she's also the only person i've heard mention it backing up your point stephen says i've
