that our counterparts understand why we have that when and where we would usually. subscribe to read people also get a rookie colgin for just twelve euros fifty per month. they don't. use the words of the cards for differently and there's a chance they may have been prevented. we. think is appointed the m i five a new k. home office software government reports detail 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 is of islamist extremists around the world. google french m.p.'s are told to ditch they use of the web giants for the local alternative by the new year as president micron pushes for more independence from the united states. is just ten men nyheter in the russian capital this is international. could and should have been done to prevent the major terror attacks 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 the ten my five missed a number of opportunities to events the tragic events. neither m i five nor

counterterrorism police took any follow up action m i five decided not to place travel monitoring or 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. the chairman's words were echoed by other members of the committee has similarly stressed that lack of coordination between the intelligence services and the home office plays a part in failing to prevent the tragedies and necessary has the details david anderson in his report used the words had the cards for them 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 and should have been the case of all of those things being that the attack may not have been stopped but there was warning signals that were not followed up or routinely would should have been so what we can all say it was a difference the lack of referral could have made 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 and 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 attacker sound bedi 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 at that pop concert 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 that. 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 attacks of the twenty second of may could have been prevented but we can say that as a result of the failings potential 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 know result in 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 how up and 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. mohammed sheffield of the ramadan foundation an islamic extremism charity told us that the u.k. needs to take the reports lessons on board. i think a number of years ago this july the seventh terrorist attack in two thousand and five and then the brutal murder of. the soldier. a few years ago five six years.

recommendations were made and the intelligence agencies have implemented them the key issue about the the libyan connection is that the intelligence agencies under british government turned a blind are you actively encouraged these citizens british libyans to go to libya to fight khadafi to come back into this country the person responsible for this atrocious to a terrorist attack here in my home city of manchester was some mana baby and he was responsible and it was the isis. are your legit violence that was responsible but we should be able to learn lessons to stop in the future to talk on our country. afghanistan now feels more like a dangerous place than it did four years ago according to the leader of u.s. congressional delegation which visited the country this week specifying the rise of

the isis branch in the region known as isis kay jim banks and six others had to leave on cheese steak just as they've learned of a suicide bombing in the afghan capital the attack on a religious celebration and couple this one of the deadliest this year killing fifty five an interim close to one hundred others 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 up their assaults amid a flurry of diplomatic halfassed and the seventeen year war on terror yet in all that time more recently unveiled research shows that how the severely limited effects on tackling extremism on 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 but i 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 works

back thing 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 in destructing 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 dismal results at

such a high human cost perhaps the zero. overall strategy of the war on terror should be reconsidered. r.t. new york. google is france's latest target in its push to be less dependent on non european entities following on from president micron's call for an army france now wants to wean itself off the web giants and use its own alternative is our paris correspondent charlotte to pinsky. 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. few who you know 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 front 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 giants. the heads of russia's military intelligence died on wednesday the russian defense ministry has reported he was sixty two the defense ministry of the russian federation general staff of the armed forces and main directorate of the general staff of the armed forces informed 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 valentino which passed away aged sixty two eagle

card above took 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 curb of leaves behind a wife and two daughters. however some commentators in the west are not satisfied with the official explanation of car bomb staff. the head of the g.r.u. accused of election hacking poisoning sergei downing mh seventeen and other assorted foreign policy gambit has died of illness aged sixty two his previous essar died aged fifty eight in twenty sixteen. the long and serious illness lasted to seconds as he fell out of a window. 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 process

the nation the head of the g.r.u. suddenly dies of a long and serious illness ten list by mcdonald's gave us his thoughts on car birth staff 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 there to suspicious i mean a sixty two year old man sixty two year old man unfortunately died of cancer all over the world all the time in various positions and it doesn't mean they've been thrown out or windows 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 plain to stereotype looking for. looking for like. the modern currency of the roscoe or a scoundrel as it may be. an illegal fest of the us a judge

in the city of detroit has declared america's law banning the practice of second station owners female genital mutilation to be unconstitutional. as laudable as the prohibition of a particular type of abuse of girls may be federalism concerns to deprive congress of the power to enact this statute congress overstepped its bounds by legislating to bridget female genital mutilation female genital mutilation is a local criminal activity which in keeping with longstanding tradition and our federal system of government is for the states to regulate not congress the judge said the power to outlaw f.p.m. was down to individual states not congress as he dismissed some of the charges against eight people including two docsis for conducting the procedure on two seven year old girls the defendants some members of a small islamic sect from india called the burra. female genital mutilation is

a widely bound practice found in africa asia and the middle east it's involved the removal of external genitalia on mainly young girls usually for religious reasons regarding sexuality there are no health benefits instead it can have serious consequences including bleeding infertility infection and in some cases even death an estimated two hundred million women around the world to thoughts have undergone the procedure which the u.n. and world health organization described as barbaric and the violation of human rights we put the issue up for debates with empathy for apologist and women's rights activist for do and media commentator gina loudon. what we are contesting is that we have these separate policies for girls and for boys and that has to do with the cultural acceptance of male circumcision and religious acceptance of male circumcision in the united states and then. the obviously the lack of understanding

in this understanding of the value of the female part which is very important to us because for this for us this is about gender complementarity concision for little boys is a completely different thing it actually is a much cleaner thing can prevent infections and that the medical risks to the little boy once he's been circumcised are many practices for instance female genital cosmetic surgeries later plus he's absolutely fit the definition of female genital mutilation that has been laid out. most of the women and adolescent girls who opt for these practices who undergo these practices are wealthy or the affluent countries they're white they're educated and we're not including their practices in the category of of mutilation so we absolutely contest that we reject that most of the women from my knowledge from my twenty five years of research as well as from

my experience do not. consider themselves as mutilated and don't experience themselves as mutilated do not see themselves as disfigured in any way i think they do not very important to make that distinction interesting as or because my counterpart here is is comparing apples and oranges she's talking about the difference between women who make a conscious decision as an adult to have to undergo some sort of cosmetic or other sort of procedure no one has a problem with that here and that's not what our conversation is about we're talking about seven year old children almost babies having these decisions to make them essentially a sexual and to risk their lives doing it so you can do and you can don't. you condone subjecting boys against their will to mutilation but it's ok but you reject it for girls let's end the hypocrisy i think we're going to try to impose cultural mores from different religions on

a constitution like ours and the united states are going to have a problem because i'm asking myself what's next i mean in certain very very small minorities perhaps but in certain islamic cultures it's ok to stone someone to death because they're gay that's not ok in american culture so how far do we let those values impose themselves up on american values which are based on constitutional and individual freedoms and certainly genitally mutilating a child without the ability to even consider it as an adult is not an american value when you know when you say something like that you are as far as i'm concerned you're exposing you are exposing your own racism and your own your own phobia for other religious beliefs or practices you know the whole world right now our take is taking major steps to remove female genital mutilation and so the for the very fact that this judge in the united states would make

a decision like this really does fly into in the face of human rights as we know it in our western culture and in our constitutional governance here in the united states. palestinians facing eviction and losing their livelihoods have condemned the demolition of dozens of buildings in east jerusalem oana say they were delivered notices concerning more than twenty palestinian and shops allegedly built without official permission locals say they will be left with no further option that 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 village said. properties could be build a waste some they are giving up hope and are continuing to fight for their homes.

and if we know that israel wants to destroy our home i mean wanted to happen it's. we were born here we feel good. about it we're afraid for our families for our children how we're living is very hard psychologically you know a lot. of it and a lot of what did we feel much stronger than netanyahu stronger than anyone in the world because we're fighting for the right thing that we're strong thanks to our belief and i'll work with god's help we'll stay on our land. israel says the projects being coordinated alongside the palestinian authorities

will take place soon meanwhile israel has slammed still more trumps a long way to peace plan which outlines a road map to end the conflict in the region. they get between the palestinians and israelis is much too big you know though to bridge it to be bridged so you would tell trump president trump don't waste your time with this. dana koch never discuss trump's initiative with talk to you on a time frame and from the hebrew university he says obey clear whether the pan should be bad it's only all through 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 i'm asking 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 israeli government believes to do is something that will be discussed. in deliberations in private the liberation 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 that's on it's very very important for it's really first off not having war peace will come later but the deal was about above all having lowering the cost of the. protesters representing the public health workers union increased clashed with riot police on thursday an attempt to break into the finance ministry building frustrations reached boiling point over the government's failure to increase the budget for public hospitals in twenty nineteen. oh. the union members were filmed pushing police officers and throwing straw at them in this press release the me and said its actions are aimed at the lack of government support for health care in the country earlier this year greece completed its bailout program with the last bailout loan to be repaid in twenty sixty. leonardo da vinci has been dragged into
