the popularity of empty immigration parties across the continent and with new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment parties dealt another blow because laps 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 and 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. the sort of coming through to run intelligence operations or trying to identify those unknown terrorists that are

9:05 am
the leader of the with the rebel says the u.k. foreign secretary cannot be both a peace broker and an arm salesman. if it wasn't for the joint british us saudi in us 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 his 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 the controversy you case forces a relentlessly fighting alongside child soldiers here in the u.k. the news triggered protests and condemnation from an m.p. with the war in yemen already and it's here i'm here to express my outrage of the
9:06 am
complicity of the british government of the war in yemen british soldiers were fighting alongside i did don't shoot 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 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 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 pound me 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
9:07 am
they think about the crisis in yemen i'm very surprise. is that the point to getting in holland and that hypocritical of them to be saying. you know that they're kind of. trying to evade the many conflict if you and me in any conflict with others or have been involved personally no i don't think they should be doing that it should be to with you know internally but i also understand yemen is a you know a nominee complicated situation some people we asked well i'm sure about the new case except mission in yemen but then on the air he wants to ask the secretary of state for defense what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of operations involving with civilians bearing the brunt of the crisis and millions on the brink of famine doubts is again being cost on the u.k. still and whether it is party to the conflicts commission saturday that the. writer and commentator abdel bari says the british public should be horrified. this is the
9:08 am
first evidence that that's our troops on the ground fighting alongside the saudi forces and the saudi backed militia and this lovely wall i believe it is it is at this hour supposed to be honest for the british people to pay for this war from their own pockets actually from their own taxes and finance a war which is you know where a war crime is committed in yemen and to know that they're there players special forces dissipating with the saudi who are very good at sort of who are actually the party which bombing hospitals schools i believe this war actually wouldn't be ended either by peace or by war because there is a story made there so the provision government should actually use its knowledge to put pressure on saudi arabia in order to stop this war because the saudis centered one plays. so they sent also personnel they

composed a coalition and all of the five it's all hoping to win it and few weeks time but it's that i've gone for now four years if there's the fifty years and it is it it's . the u.k.'s daily mail says its report has prompted a un investigation we've asked the un for comment. anti-vaccination activists in the us have suggested they're being persecuted like jews during the holocaust donning a star of david to make their point as after un vaccinated children were banned from entering certain public areas how are we going to do it you know back to how are we going to arrest you. if you will do it the same way we did the last time so for you. to sit it jews in york right now they never thought this moment will come i'm still. with you

a polish holocaust museum has lashed out at the use of the star of david a symbol used to label jews during the holocaust museum accuse the activists of belittling one of the darkest pages of history. instrumental izing the fate of jews who are persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like all issue 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. government agency dealing with diseases in two thousand eight hundred the country suffered seventeen outbreaks of the measles cases were registered mainly among unvaccinated people in the orthodox jewish community the number of cases this year is almost four hundred and it's expected to rise i view it rougher with a jewish community adviser says the way the star of david was used by the anti vaccine activists cheapened its meaning. util star for the jewish people is about

remembrance for us you know it's too much people because of what they owe we bade the jewish people they did to the price because of the so you know style drew another jew you don't you have no right to use these symbols because you make them becoming part of political i would say game you make them becoming cheap. we cannot forget when children women and people were worrying what happened to them what happened to them to have this was to be burns to be sent to a guest. so if people are doing so even jews doing it to the stake for me it's a 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 deadlock m.p.'s held

a second series of so-called indicative votes after the prime minister's e.u. withdrawal plan was recently defeated with all plans failing to command a majority a new third round of votes has been proposed by opposition leader jeremy corbin if it's good enough for the prime minister to have three chances at her do you. know i suggest possibly the house should have a chance to consider again the all the options that we had before us today i needed to write on wednesday so that. that house could make six c. where the prime minister has by year old presenting a credible i cannot make relationship with europe for the future the prudential is crushing out with no deal the prime minister's deal is it cost me refuses to compromise it is crystal clear to often stop those that are booked suddenness 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 brags that altogether if no deal is agreed upon none of them gained a clear majority and the brags that 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 prime minister may now has to either seek a longer extension from the e.u. offering some new plan of action or leave the new without a deal professor of european law francisco result told us there is no. way she's going to get a deal through because her resignation. without a binding agreement by ending. the customs union means it's going to touch it and. she's going to get through it if we crash out but it is. really it's a minority view if you just go and it would be fine i'm sure with it
9:14 am
even harder in the capital except that there would be one price to pay us. now the debates over bugs that have been rather heated but some things that's not the hottest issue that needs addressing are rather undressing. these environmental activists want 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 stock or stunt which was designed to impress upon m.p.'s and the public urgent matters even bracks. government troops protect the venezuelan opposition leader's motorcade from an angry mob we have video of the incident after this quick break.

the. by the way what is that that's like here. welcome back there been fresh clashes and venezuela where people have been railing against cuts to power and water supplies protesters set fire to cars and threw stones at police opposition blames president nicolas maduro but his government says the power cuts are 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 but as well as opposition leader has been touring the country trying to rouse support but he hasn't always received a warm welcome video has emerged purportedly showing a group of protesters attacking his convoy. ah was
9:17 am
a closer look at the video reveals an interesting detail that's quite as car making its way past the angry crowd and these are government meaning of soldiers protecting it from being attacked or less max blumenthal gave us his thoughts on the video. 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 them this way less 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 invite this is where nicolas maduro his base is this is where his 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 are being given more powers and a controversial scheme to combat a knife crime epidemic campaigners have called the move regressive and are concerned that the powers could be abused at the home secretary says officers need protection to. the police and on the front line in the box against serious violence on his voice will we give them the right tools to do that jumps. the so-called section sixty checks will be trialed in several hotspots areas officers will be able to search any person or vehicle without reasonable suspicion to change comes after forty nine people were fatally stabbed this year alone families of victims have welcomed the move but they should have happened earlier critics though say the powers give police the opportunity to racially profile individuals. according to
9:19 am
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 performer at london police officer peter kirkland and social activists leave jasper was a former quality advisor to the mayor of london. i'm afraid discrimination is a fact of life disproportionality and racial profiling. of the culture of the policing in la gina cities is nothing to see 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 peace on the streets in the first place and the only way of doing that the only way of stopping someone getting stabbed tonight tomorrow next week next month maybe even next year is policing that's the only chance we've got of stopping
9:20 am
noise that around the streets being used so i think a bit like the flat earth society people just making stuff up to just political position is very clear the prime minister has said that stop and searches on just by 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 isn't class go. to show. they need to establish peace on the streets for these are the 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 of the horrific 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 under pressure call for more powers more heavy enforcement approach more

people to criminalize situation doesn't get any better. a federal judge in the u.s. state of north carolina has rolled a school's policy unconstitutional after it required girls to wear skirts and a bid to promote quote traditional values the initial complaint from one of the peoples 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 makes some girls feel uncomfortable her 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 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 ruled that the school's attempts to force girls to wear skirts
