i. was sorry. for that but. you don't. use the words of the cards for differently than those which may have been present. we agree with i. think is appointed the m i five the new k. home will face off to a government report details security failures that could have prevented a string of terror attacks the world's great britain in twenty seventeen. off to

seventeen years and billions of dollars spent a new study finds that america's war on terror has courtroom pulls the number islamised extremists around the world. give up google french m.p.'s are told to ditch they use of the web chimes for the local alternative by the new year as president maicon pushes for more independence from the united states. you're watching international welcome to the program. 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 the time my five missed a number of opportunities to invest 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 they also stress there's a lack of coordination between the intelligence services and the home office played a pass and failing to prevent the tragedies and asked to say a chicken or has the details david anderson in his report used the words had the cards for them differently then there's a chance that 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 on routinely which 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.

but. 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 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 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 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 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. mohammed ramadan foundation islamic extremism charity told us that the u.k. needs to take the reports lessons on board. i think a number of years ago after july the july the seventh terrorist attack in two thousand and five. the soldier. a few years ago

five or six years ago recommendations were made and the intelligence agencies haven't implemented them the key issue about. the libyan connection is that the intelligence agencies under british government turned a blind are you actively encouraged the citizens british goods 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 own city of manchester was some minor baby he was responsible and it was the isis. that was responsible but we should be able to learn lessons to stop any future attack on our country. afghanistan feels like a mood dangerous place than it did four years ago according to the leader of the us congressional delegation which visited the country this week in particular jim bank

says security is being undermined by the rise of islamic state regional affiliates eisel k. he and six others had to leave on tuesday just as they learned of a suicide bombing in the afghan capital. the attack on the religious celebration in kabul was one of the deadliest this year it killed fifty five an injured close to one hundred of this is not make status suspected of carrying out the bombing has been away this bloody violence in recent weeks in which hundreds have died as militants stepped up their assaults amid a flurry of diplomatic efforts to end the seventeen year at war on terror yet in all that time the recently unveiled reset shows this had to severely limited effects from 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 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 roughly half a million people have died as a result of america's poor. 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. to go this francis latest in this push to be less dependent on known near pin and cities following on from president micron's coolth and the army fronts now wants to wean itself off the web giants and use this as an alternative has a paris correspondent sean it depends. much corn and trump's friendship is down in the dumps right now but it seems that the fishing 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 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 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 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 have the 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 head of russian military intelligence has passed away age sixty two and his status prompted a raft of far fetched conspiracy theories we look at that and more after the break .

welcome back to. the head of russia's military intelligence died on wednesday the russian defense ministry has reports as he was sixty tae 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 valentino which passed away aged sixty two. eagler kata both took over the position two years ago after his predecessor died from a heart attack he said in russia's armed forces for the last forty five years clear above leaves behind a wife and two daughters however some commentators in the west are not satisfied

with the official explanation of car above steps 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 unsuccessful script process the nation the head of the g.r.u. suddenly dies of a long and serious illness to enlist by in mcdonald's gave us his thoughts on code above steph and the reaction to it. nobody should ever accept everything 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 who dies that is this is as i mean a sixty two year old man and sixty two year old men 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 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 plain to stereotype looking for. looking for like. the modern currency of the rusko or discount as it may be. an illegal fest for 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 prohibit female genital mutilation female genital mutilation is a local criminal activity which in keeping with longstanding tradition and or federal system of government is for the states to regulate not congress the judge said the power to outlaw s.g.m. was down to individual states not congress as he dismissed some of the charges against eight people including two doctors for conducting the procedure on two seven year old girls the defendants and members of a small islamic sect from india called the. female genital mutilation is a widely bounds practice found in africa asia and the middle east it's involves 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 this procedure which the u.n. world health organization described as barbaric and a violation of human rights. we put the issue up for debates with anthropologists and women's rights activist formby amadu and media commentator jean allowed in. 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 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 layby a plus he's that absolutely fit the definition of female genital mutilation that has been laid out by most of the women and adolescent girls who opt for these practices who undergo these practices are wealthy or the affluent countries they are 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 there 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 do. condone subjecting boys against their will to mutilation but it's ok but did 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 in the united states you're 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 and 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. leonardo da vinci's been dragged into a route between the french president and its least deputy prime minister who have
