little. men they know. how this fighter returning to europe posing as a refugee is reportedly issued with a prepaid debit card one of some sixty four thousand by the e.u. the new. u.k. is facing backlash over its attempts to relax. sales to the founding of arabia and british special forces reportedly fighting on the same side as child soldiers in yemen. and with a deadline for leaving the e.u. just ten days away the british. all tabled options to resolve the break the deadlock making the prospect of crashing out without a deal more likely. prime ministers deal that is to.

refuse to compromise. it's one o'clock here in moscow and you're watching our international live from last year with mina to the program. talking right now where the government claims a suspected jihad is tented europe as a refugee and obtained a prepaid debit card the e.u. has issued some sixty four thousand such calls to new comers. all of reports imagine a suspected islamic terrorist receiving money for refugees not just any terrorist a senior commander and not just any money taxpayer money and it gets worse reports say that he received monthly payments of five hundred euros on his debit card that's well over today's gross minimum wage you know angry these prepaid.

cards are issued to a joint project between the united nations and the european union that's supposed to be a strict screening process in place to make sure that only those eligible have access to the funds but this wouldn't be the first time that a suspected terrorist hiding among refugees that inadvertently been given taxpayer money. the european commission insists that the prepaid debit cards are not just handed out to anyone that they know exactly who these cards are being distributed to and check up on this status on

a monthly basis so hungry is wondering why did brussels not know that they were funding a suspected terrorist this not only creates another pole factor it also raises serious security concerns the citizens of europe have a right to know the problem of how to provide much needed funding and aid to refugees in europe isn't an easy one to solve but it's cases like these that fuel the popularity of anti immigration parties across the continent and with new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment parties dealt another blow because of the territory that so-called isis was holding it will generate more people trying to get in through and that's why very carefully orchestrated an internationally coordinated this is where international cooperation is key i think the threat for a period of time will grow because foreign fighters will start to come back but i think what we're seeing no with. isis and with al qaida is we're seeing

a time of transition they will transition into something different this is a very very dangerous and very difficult period we need to monitor the transition very closely to be able to identify and track known just how to sort of coming through and to run intelligence operation. as the trauma identified those terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world. u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt is under fire after reaching a deal with germany over the export of certain weapons components but linen like london has banned all arms sales to saudi arabia but a loophole was found to sell plants ultimately destined for riyadh to the u.k. one of the reasons arms sales to saudi arabia controversial is its involvement in neighboring yemen.

leader of the hood the rebels say the u.k. foreign secretary cannot be both a peace broker and an arms salesman. if it wasn't for the joint british us saudi in u.a.e. naval forces the existing famine and the tragic humanitarian situation wouldn't reach such critical levels the saudi led coalition backed by britain commits war crimes and does not abide by has britain claims the most stringent guidelines for the export of weapons in the world and reports adding context to a tragic reality the u.k.'s man on sunday has reveals that at least five british

special force commandos were wounded in gun battles as part of the secrets military campaign in north in yemen believed to be part of the special boat services said that they are now back in britain recovering to spark further control to see new case forces to relentlessly fighting alongside child soldiers here in the u.k. the news triggered protests some condemnation from an m.p. with the war in yemen already in its fourth year i'm hit to express my outrage of the complicity of the british government of the war british soldiers were fighting alongside indentured schild soldiers who are forced to fight in the yemen this is a war crime this is a crime almost against humanity and britain has been complicit in it and we must say no more inside westminster the shed i thought. secretary's questioning the scope of britain's involvement if that is in any way true because if he is

then it will confirm the off forces are not just a party to this conflict but witnesses to war crimes when pressed on the issue mark fields from the u.k. foreign office said he would seek to get to the bottom of the allegations but khan's comment on the presence of u.k. soldiers on the ground as for the ministry of defense they apparently don't comment on the special forces but with a little sign of an answer to the conflicts we asked people here in london what they think about the crisis in yemen i'm very surprised that the troops are getting involved and didn't know that hypocritical of them to be saying. you know that they're. trying to be many conflict there fueling the many conflicts go there isn't anybody personally no i don't think they should be doing that they should be dealt with you know internally but i also understand yemen is a you know phenomenally complicated situation some people we asked were unsure about the you case exact mission in yemen but then not the year you want to ask the

secretary of state for defense what recent assessment he's made of the effectiveness of operations involving british forces in the yemen in the last six months. with civilians bearing the brunt of the crisis and millions on the brink of famine doubts is again being cast on the u.k.'s role and whether it is his party to the conflicts commission set the party. writer and commentator abdel bari atwan says the british public should be horrified. this is the first evidence that that's the troops on the ground fighting alongside the saudi forces and the saudi backed militia and this lobby or i believe it is it is a disaster is to be honest for the british people to pay for this war to from their own pockets actually from their own taxes and finance a law which is you know well

a war crime is committed in yemen and to know that they're there special forces dissipating with the saudi who have been going to sort of here who are actually the poppy which bombing hospitals schools i believe this war actually wouldn't be ended eyes are by peace or by war because there's a hole made that. the british government should actually uses knowledge to put pressure on saudi arabia in order to stop this war because the saudis tended there were places. that they sent also personnel they composed as a coalition and over five this was hoping to win it and few weeks time by streets that i've been on for now four years and if there's a fifty eight and then it's we. u.k.'s daily mail says its report has prompted a u.n. investigation and we've asked the un to comment on this too. now

on t.v. activists in the u.s. have suggested they're being prosecuted like jews during the holocaust donning a star of david to make their point that softer unvaccinated children were banned from entering certain public places. how we don't want to. do. we did the last time. jews and you are right now never. a polish holocaust museum has lashed out at the use of the star of david by anti vaccine acts of activists the symbol that it was used to label jews during the holocaust museum accuse the activists of belittling one of the darkest pages of history. instrumental raising the freed of jews who are persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like all schwartz with

poisonous gas in order to argue against vaccination that saves human lives is a symptom of intellectual and moral degeneration according to the us government agency dealing with diseases in twenty eighteen the countries suffered seventeen outbreaks of measles the cases were registered mainly among native people in the orthodox jewish community the number of cases this year is almost four hundred and is expected to rise in libya ruffo it's a jewish community advisers says the way the star of david was used by the anti vaccine activists cheapened its meaning. you know star for the jewish people is a bad remembrance for us you know it's too much people because of what they are we paid the jewish people paid a terrible price because of the so you know star jew or no jew you don't you have no right to use these symbols because you make them becoming part of

political i would say game and you make them becoming cheap we cannot forget when children women and people were worrying what happened to them and what happened to them to have this was to be burns to be sent to a gas chamber so if people are doing so even jews doing a terrible mistake for me it's a terrible abuse and i think it's. it's something that's would be punished by a lot. of his parliament has rejected all four motions put forward to resolve the braggs and deadlock and peace how the second series of so-called indicative after the prime minister's eventual plant was resoundingly defeated and all plans fell into quantum in charity and a third round of votes has been proposed by opposition leader jeremy corp and if it's good enough for the prime minister to have three chances at her deal i know i

suggested possibly the house should have a chance to consider again the all the options that we had before us today i needed to break on wednesday so that the house can accept see where the prime minister has failed in presenting a credible economic relationship with europe for the future the prevent this crashing out with no deal the prime minister's deal is costing refuses to compromise it is crystal clear to aston stockman that are brought sadness times not disrespect to. the m.p.'s debated on four issues staying in the single market seeking a customs union another referendum and potentially cancelling gregg's it altogether if no deal is agreed none of them going to play a majority the braggs a deadline is just ten days away meanwhile the government is struggling to come up with a clear plan on how to leave the european union with only ten days remaining prime

minister may has to either seek a longer extension from the offer in some new plan of action or leave the without a deal professor of european law francesco visitor told us there is no clear way out for theresa may. should really caught up with this. issue for the past. troubling way she's going to go through because her resignation. without. agreement. on the questions you. know she's going to get through that if we crash out will be that it's. really it's a minority view. just. fine. with it even harder to. accept that there would be priced.

there's a bit of a break so there have been a pretty heated but some think it's not the hottest issue that needs addressing or rather undressing. these environmental activists wanted to draw attention to the naked truth about climate change they stripped off in the house of commons public gallery twelve people were arrested over the start because stunt which was designed to impressed upon m.p.'s and the public that there are more urgent matters even than forensics. plays in the u.k. are granted greater stop and search powers in areas where knife crime is on the rise thoughts or animal after this break.

you know world's big partners. and it's time to wait to be deeper to hit the stories that made history refuses to tell more than we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. security council should have a mandatory one percent of all stock bonds for x. transactions should go into social security so that every individual will say when they become eighteen they've got fifty six thousand dollars in there that they can go spend on college if they want to that's a that is a that is an extra knowledge of this economy that's being recycled repurposed regenerated into an ecosystem an economy that is like more mimics of nature.

welcome back to the program fresh clashes in venezuela where people have been running power outages and water shortages protests to set fire to cars and threw stones at police the opposition blames president nicolas maduro but his government says the power cuts all the result of criminal sabotage by opponents the president announced a thirty day plan to russian electricity in order to deal with the crisis meanwhile venezuela's opposition. has been touring the country trying to rouse support but he hasn't always received a warm welcome childline port is showing a group of protesters attacking his convoy. was

a closer look at the video reveals an interesting detail has it quite as calm miking it's wipe off the out of crap and these that government material is protecting it from being tapped jonas max blumenthal gave us his thoughts on the. i it's ironic to see government security forces actually protecting a figure who's calling for the government to be toppled and who's actually attempting to fragment the security services from within it's also ironic because we constantly hear about venezuela as some kind of ruthless communist dictatorship but here you have a situation that certainly would not be tolerated in the united states or other countries where someone who's leading a coup is protected by the security services of the government he's trying to take out what kind of dictatorship is this well apparently it's not a very effective one and what's happening here is really interesting as an ill advised this is where nicolas maduro his base is this is where son actually lives

why is quite over there why is he in a government stronghold because the u.s. wants him to get arrested to create a provocation that's why he's there. police in england and wales not being given more powers in a controversial scheme to combat a knife crime academic campaign is called the move aggressively and i can send the palace could be m.p.'s but the home secretary says offices need protection to. the police are on the front line in the battle against serious violence and it's vital we give them the right tools to do their jobs. the so-called section sixty checks will be trialed in several hotspot areas officers will be able to search any person or vehicle without reasonable suspicion the change comes after forty nine people were fatally stabbed this year alone families of the victims have welcomed the move but say it should have happened earlier critics though say the powers give police

the opportunity to racially profile individuals according to home office data there were almost forty thousand knife crime offenses registered in england and wales last year discussing the problem on r.t. earlier former london police officer peter and social activist leach asper who's a former equality advisor to the mayor of london. i'm afraid discrimination is a fact of life disproportionality and racial profiling is part of the culture of urban policing in large inner cities there's nothing to say that if there is any disproportional assume or probably assume that it's juta the racism of police officers that an officer of the law without any reasonable cause. can stop and detain you is a form the mental breach of our civil liberties you can't do the public health approach without establishing peace on the streets in the first place and the only

way of doing that the only way of stopping someone going start tonight tomorrow next week next month maybe even next year is policing that's the only chance we've got of stopping knives that around the streets are being used so i think a bit like the flat earth society people are just making stuff up to just defy their political position is very clear the prime minister has said that stop and search is on just looking to the police to sort it out and that's what they've always done in the past and the police have always had some contingency capacity in the past but that doesn't mean there's not a role for police in that absolutely is in glasgow. a show about taking root and having the longer term effects but i think that partly politicians are people in all sorts of age groups really who've lost their lives on the streets of london and we see this repetitive cycle of media commentary police on the pressure call for more powers more heavy enforcement approach well people criminalize situation

doesn't get any better. a federal judge in north carolina and ruled a local school's policy unconstitutional after it required girls to wear skirts in a bid to promote traditional values the initial complaint from one of the pupils came in twenty sixteen when she argued that skirts limits girls physical activity the girl also claimed that wearing a skirt disrupts the learning process and makes some girls feel uncomfortable how mother helped her bring public attention to the issue a process that ultimately led to the court ruling. all i wanted was for my daughter and every other girl at school to have the option to wear pounds so she could play outside see it come to believe and stay warm in the winter we're happy to court agrees but it's disappointing that he took a court order to force the school to accept a simple fact that in two thousand and nineteen girls should have the choice to wear pants the judge or that the school's attempts to force girls to wear skirts violated the so-called equal protection clause noting that it imposed

a burden on goals but not. the charter day school board is analyzing the opinion and will be meeting with council in the very near future to discuss their options moving forward we spoke to political activist kate smith wait she says gentling tuna farms are dated and it is high time for a change. what it reminds of this that what we should actually be doing is not waiting for parents to complain and start a lawsuit but legislating at national level to say you know what this is really important schools need to teach in a completely gender neutral way students should not be told what to wear or what classes to attend or what sports to play based on whether they're boys or girls it's so obvious that school uniform needs to be something comfortable and practical and appropriate for the twenty first century and the idea that it's going to therefore have a boy's version of the girls version of come on so discriminate free towards children who don't want to do that for whatever reason there are so many reasons why children might not want to wear the particular uniform that's been assigned to

their gender it's not it's not the right step so i think it's great that we're moving away from it. the u.s. has frozen an arms contract with turkey in protest of and chris purchase of russian weaponry the pentagon to say it's halting deliveries of equipment for ethar thirty five stealth fighter jets which turkey is in the process of buying and washington is demanding that ankara cancel its purchase of the russian s four hundred anti aircraft system turkey is one of washington's key allies with nato and u.s. defense officials have said of turkey were to use the f. thirty five and the s four hundred within the same integrated system moscow would gain back at all access to crucial intelligence. this comes at a difficult time for turkey's president on sunday his party suffered a major blow in local elections losing control of major cities including the capital ankara thousands of opposition party supporters have been out celebrating

however the a.k. party is reportedly planning on challenging the results alleging there have been widespread voting irregularities despite the setback the ruling party and its allies still came out on top nationwide taking over fifty one percent of the vote. we discussed this with author and historian gerald warne and ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop or. i think that there was dancing in the hallways of the pentagon this morning when news trickled in that mr a.k.p. party might have lost not only istanbul but also of this is reflective of the sharp deterioration in relations between and washington the u.s. needs the u.s. military industrial complex which is the most powerful and economic and political force inside the usa needs to mete maintain its monopoly over sales to all its nato allies and other ally countries in order to maintain change its profits and its

power and its influence in washington so having a nato country like turkey turn down our or using russian weapons is a very very bad precedent and they certainly don't want it to happen. that song. will take over in around thirty minutes time but do stay with us now for watching the holes which is up next to. make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final. neither one. nor middle of the room

six. desperate for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.

greetings and salutations no one will argue that there is a lot of pain sorrow and truly deplorable things in the world today and most often they find their way onto your evening news or news feeds every day truly daily basis or watchers and it's not hard to see why given the industry that brought you if it bleeds it leads is a news station. as the old saying goes if you want to be depressed turn on your news. but not. today no this week we decided we'd bring you an april fools day show that will only focus on the most positive uplifting in the important news of the day that doesn't showcase the worst of the great the great green wall of africa yes well u.s. president donald trump has been busy building or trying to build walls of barbed wire and hate metal in order to protect our southern border from poor people that

don't look like him farmers environmentalist and scientists working in more than twenty african nations have been building a wall of trees indigenous land use techniques environmental pretty environmental protection to help combat that with just eleven countries involved the ambitious project stretches across roughly six thousand miles eight thousand kilometers of train that at the southern at the southern edge of the sahara desert in a region known as the. back by a qadri of conservation groups and governments around the world if the wall is completed it would be three times the size of the great barrier reef. with fifteen percent of the wall completed just ten years and the project there is still yes a long way to go but supporters are determined this grand green dream will work because unlike walls made of stone and concrete this wall is made with love and life which is the only walls truly worth building when you're watching the hawks.

it's. like you know that i got. this. welcome when watching the hawks. and i'm happy. this is the kind of well i love to see yes says although a fun show to. have measurable things to talk about.
