8:02 am
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
8:03 am
check up on their 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 the new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment parties dealt another blow ups 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
8:04 am
think what we're seeing now 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. the sort of coming through to run intelligence operation. the trauma identified those terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere hunt is under fire after reaching a deal with germany over the export of certain weapons components like london has banned all arms sales to saudi arabia but a loophole was found a small part ultimately dust and for riyadh to the u.k. one of the reasons arms sales to saudi arabia are controversial is its involvement in neighboring yemen.
8:05 am
the leader of the here the rebels says the u.k. foreign secretary cannot be both a peace broker and an arms salesman. in famine in 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 his britain claims the most stringent guidelines for the export of weapons in the world 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 possible secrets military campaign in north in yemen believed to be positive the special boat services said
8:06 am
that they are now back in britain recovering to spock to the contract to see the u.k. school system relentlessly fighting alongside child soldiers pair in the u.k. the news triggered protests some condemnation from an m.p. with the war in yemen already and it's both here let me hit to express my outrage to the complicity of the british government of the wall. british soldiers were fighting alongside indentured child 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 shadow foreign secretary is questioning the scope of britain's involvement if that is in any way true because if it is then it will confirm and off forces are not just a party to this conflict but witnesses to war crimes when pressed on the issue mark
8:07 am
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 impound me don't comment on the special forces but with a little sign as an answer to the complex 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 and others would be. personally no i don't think they should be doing that it should be. with you know internally but i also understand yemen is you know phenomenally complicated situation some people we asked were unsure about the you case exact mission in yemen but then on the air you want to ask the secretary of state for defense what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of operations
8:08 am
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 our troops on the ground fighting alongside the saudi forces and the saudi backed militia and this lovely or i believe it is it is a disaster has to be on it for the british people to pay for this war 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 not dissipating when the saudi who have been going to here who are actually the poppy
8:09 am
which bombing hospitals schools i believe this war actually wouldn't be ended i was up by these or by war because there's a whole made that. the british government should actually uses knowledge to put pressure on saudi arabia in order to stop this war because the saudis tendered their water plays. 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. the u.k.'s daily mail says its report has prompted a u.n. investigation we've asked the un for comment. and to back seen activists in the u.s. have suggested they're being persecuted like jews during the holocaust donning a star of david to make their point of after unbacked native children were banned
8:10 am
from entering certain public places. how are we going to do it you know how are we going to arrest you. if you want to just say well we did the last time so for you. to sit it jews in york right now they never thought this moment will come. with you a polish holocaust museum has lashed out at the use of the star of david by anti vaccine activists the symbol that was used to label jews during the holocaust museum accuse the activists of belittling one of the darkest pages of history. instrumental lazing the fate of jews who are persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like oh sure it's with poisonous gas in order to argue against vaccination that saves human lives is a symptom of intellectual and moral degeneration. according to the u.s.
8:11 am
government agency dealing with diseases in two thousand and eighteen the country suffered seventeen outbreaks of missiles the cases were registered mainly among unvaccinated people in the orthodox jewish community the number of cases this year is almost four hundred and is expected to rise i would be rough with a jewish community advisor says the way the star of david was used by the anti-tax activist sheep in its meanings. util star for the jewish people is about remembrance for us you know it's too much people because of for the oh we bade the jewish people they did to the price because of the you know style drew and the 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
8:12 am
and what happened to them to have this too has to be burns to be sent to a guest chamber so if people are doing so even jews zero doing it to build the stake for me to deliberate abuse and i think it's it's it's so that that's would be punished by law. the british parliament has rejected all four motions put forward to resolve the bracks that deadlock m.p.'s held a second series of so-called indicative votes after the prime minister's withdrawal plan was resoundingly defeated again with all plans failing to command a majority new third round of votes has been proposed by opposition leader jeremy corbett. if it's good enough for the prime minister jobs three chances of the deal . then i suggest possibly the house should have a chance to consider again. the options that we had before us today.
8:13 am
so that the house killing six c. where the prime minister has by you presenting a credible they could all make relationship with europe for the future to prevent just crashing out with no deal the prime minister's deal is costing refuses to compromise it is crystal clear in the last installment there are books on this times not disrespect to. the m.p.'s debated for issues staying in the single market seeking a union customs union another referendum and potentially cancelling brock's that altogether if no deal is agreed upon none of them gained a clear majority and the brics 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 i has to either seek a longer extension from the e.u. offering some sort of new plan of action or leave the e.u. without a deal professor of european law francisco told us there's no clear way out for
8:14 am
treason may. she's really caught between a rock and a hard place that is you know if she goes for all the customs union she's going to the party on the other hand it's troubling me the only way she's going to get of through because her resignation up without binding agreement a binding agreement and a customs union means it's going to be touch and go whether she's going to get through it if we crash out would be a bit is it really it's a minority view who thinks that we can just go away and everything will be fine and i'm not sure what it even harder expected is in the cabinet except that there would be one heck of a price to pay. now the debates have objects that have been pretty heated but some think that it's not the hottest issue that needs addressing or rather undressing.
8:15 am
these environmental activists want to draw attention to the naked truth about climate change they stripped off in the house of commons public gallery people were arrested over the starkest stunt which was designed to impress upon m.p.'s and the public that there are more urgent matters even than bracks. government troops protect the venezuelan opposition leaders motorcade from an angry mob we have the video of that incident after this quick break. what politicians do to. put them so when you want to express an injury. or some want to. have to go right to the press it's like the three of them or
8:16 am
people that. are still always in the water using. their super. bowl make its manufacture to send stuff to the public well. when the writing classes protect themselves. with the fine. be that one percent. in the middle of the room sick. leave room. welcome back there have been fresh clashes and venezuela where people have been railing against power outages and water shortages protesters set fire to cars and
8:17 am
throw stones at police the opposition blames president nicolas maduro but his government says the cuts are the result of criminal thapa touch by opponents the president announced a thirty day plan to russian electricity in order to deal with the taxes. meanwhile venezuela's opposition leader one has been touring the country trying to rouse support but he hasn't always received a very warm welcome the video has emerged online purportedly showing a group of protesters attacking his convoy. ah. ah a closer look at the video reveals an interesting detail here as quiet as a car making its way past the angry crowd and these are government meaning proma duro soldiers protecting it from being attacked journalist max blumenthal gave us his thoughts on the video. it's ironic to see government security forces actually
8:18 am
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 this way of 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 alibi this is where nicolas maduro his base is this is where he. actually lives why is quite over there why is he in. 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 are being given more powers in a controversial scheme to combat
8:19 am
a knife crime epidemic campaigners have called the move regressive and are concerned the powers could be abused but the home secretary says officers need protection to the police and on the front line in the battle against serious violence and his voice so we give them the right tools to do their jobs. these 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 a change comes after forty nine people were fatally stabbed this year alone families of victims have welcomed the move but say it should have happened earlier critics though say the powers give the 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 our t. earlier or former london police officer peter kirk i'm and social activist jasper is a former equality advisor to the mayor of london. i'm afraid discrimination is
8:20 am
a fact of life disproportionality and racial profiling. the culture of the policing in la gina cities has nothing to say if they recently disproportionality in there probably is some. of the racism of police officers that an officer of the law with out any reasonable calls. can stop and detain you is a fundamental breach of civil liberties e-com do the public health approach without establishing place on the streets in the first place and the only way of doing that the only way of stopping someone getting stopped tonight tomorrow next week next month maybe even next year is policing that's the only chance we've got of stopping noise that around the streets being used so i think a bit like the fly society people just making stuff up to just political position is very clear the prime minister and that's what they've always done in the past
8:21 am
and the police have always had some contingency kapok a. show about the need to establish peace on the streets for these other things to take a chance of taking root and having the longer term effects but i think that partly politicians are under pressure because of the media reports they are repeat killings of young 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 more people criminalize situation doesn't get any better. a federal judge in north carolina ruled a local schools policy unconstitutional after it required girls to wear skirts in a bid to promote quote traditional values the initial complaint from one of the pupils came in two thousand and sixteen when she argued that skirts limit girls physical activity the girl also claimed that wearing a skirt disrupts the learning process and make some girls feel uncomfortable her
8:22 am
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 pants so she could play outside sit comfortably and still warm in the winter we're happy to court agrees that it's disappointing that he took a court order to force the school to accept. the simple fact that in two thousand and thirteen girls should have the choice to wear pants the judge ruled that the school's attempts to force girls to wear skirts violated the so-called equal protection clause noting that it and per imposed burden on girls but not boys the chance to 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 smurf weight she says gender linked uniforms are dated and it's high time for change. what it reminds us is that what we should actually
8:23 am
be doing is not waiting for parents to complain and start a lawsuit but legislating at national level to say you know well this is really important schools need to teach in a completely gender neutral way students should not be told what to wear what causes to attend to what sports to play based on whether they're boys or girls it's so obvious that 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 have a boys' version of the girls bush will come along so discriminatory 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 in arms contract with turkey in protest over and purchased a russian weaponry the pentagon says it is holding deliveries of equipment for f. thirty five stealth fighter just which turkey is in the process of buying and
8:24 am
washington is demanding that cancel its purchase of the russian s four hundred anti-aircraft system turkey is one of washington's key allies within nato and u.s. defense officials have said if turkey were to use the f. thirty five and the s. one hundred within the same integrated system moscow would gain back door access to crucial intelligence. this comes at a difficult time for turkey's president aired a one on sunday his party suffered a major blow in local elections losing control of major cities including the capital thousands of opposition party supporters have been out celebrating a key 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 discuss this with author and historian. horn and ken stone and the hamilton coalition to stop all. think that there was dancing in the hallways at the pentagon
8:25 am
this morning when news trickled in that mr earle wants a.k.p. party might have lost not only istanbul but also. this is reflective of the sharp deterioration in relations between and washington the us needs the us military industrial complex which is the most powerful economic and political force inside the usa needs to match maintain its monopoly over sales to all its nato allies and other allied 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 or using russian weapons is a very very bad precedent and they certainly don't want it to happen. that's when his update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all the stories and many more.
