you're watching r t international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. and government is claiming a suspected jihad us entered europe as a refugee and was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u. the blocks issued some sixty four thousand such cards to newcomers archies peter all over. imagine a suspected islamic terrorist receiving aid money meant for refugees not just any terrorist a senior eisel 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 in hungary 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 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 empty immigration parties across the continent and with 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 amounts 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 with. so-called 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 to run intelligence operations. the trauma identify those terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world. british foreign secretary jeremy hunt is under fire after reaching a deal with germany over the export of weapons components to saudi arabia berlin unlike london has banned all arms sales to riyadh but a loophole was found to sell parts ultimately dust into the kingdom through the u.k. one of the reasons that arms sales to saudi arabia are controversial is the involvement in neighboring yemen.

the leader of the who the rebels say the u.k. foreign secretary cannot be both a peace broker and an arm salesman. wasn't for the joint british us saudi in u.a.e. naval forces the existing 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 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 complicity of the british government of the war in yemen 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 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 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 troops are getting involved didn't know that it's hypocritical of them to be saying. you know that they're kind of. trying to evade the many conflict of fueling the many conflicts you know there is or have anybody 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 except mission in yemen but then on the air 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 party to the conflicts commission sethi london. writer and commentator odd one says the british public should be horrified. this is the first evidence that 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 from their own pockets actually from their own taxes and finance law which is you know a lot of crime is committed in yemen and to know that there are special forces

dissipating with the saudi who have been good sort of who are actually the. bombing hospitals schools i believe this war actually wouldn't be ended by thieves 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 tend to want to play is. that they sent also personnel they composed a coalition and all of the five this was hoping to win it and few weeks time but that i could go on for now four years if this is the fifth year is that it's where the u.k. is daily mail says its report has prompted a u.n. investigation without the u.n. for comment. and i vaccine 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 annex any children were banned from entering certain public places. 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 cynic jews in new york right now that never thought this moment will come i'm saying are you still with you a polish holocaust museum has lashed out at the use of the star of david the symbol used to label jews during holocaust museum accuse the activists belittling one of the darkest pages of history. instrumental lighting the feet of jews who are persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like auschwitz 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 two thousand eight hundred the country suffered seventeen outbreaks of measles 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 albeit rough with a jewish community advisor 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 to mark people because the for the all we paid the jewish people paid a terrible 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 and what happened to

them to have this to has to be burns to be sent to a guest chamber so if people are doing so even jews doing it to me steak for me it's a terrible 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 brics and deadlock and peace held a second series of so-called indicative votes after the prime minister's e.u. withdrawal plan was resoundingly defeated with all plans failing to command a majority a 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 i needed to buy. so that the house can accept see where the prime minister has value in

presenting a credible economic 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 to often stop moving our books on this 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 brock's it 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 prime minister may now has to either seek a longer extension from the e.u. offering some new plan of action or leave without a deal by april the twelfth professor of politics robert johns believes another delay is the most likely route for m.p.'s. well we're mainly at this point because

of a refusal to compromise on its feet and compromise on either of the what you might call the extreme saw aids and the cold remain as still believe that they can get away with remaining in the european union despite the referendum on the hard core leaders still believe they can get away with a pretty hard form of threats and despite the fact there's a clear majority in parliament against it's very difficult to build a parliamentary majority when there is no more than two options in the fray as prime minister may's deal that's that's clearly that but there are these other things floating around until it's narrow down to just one other alternative than the ideal parliament's not going to come up with the plausible alternative i think an extension of some form is going to be necessary because we're just not reaching an agreement on the old toe on the alternative to no deal and so more time is definitely needed. coming up turkey is caught in no man's land over its arms purchases that more after this short break.

when else should seem wrong. just don't. let me. get to shape out just doing something active. and in detroit equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . manufacture consent to public wealth. when the classes protect themselves.

in the middle of the room. welcome back police in england and wales are being given more powers in a controversial scheme to combat a knife crime epidemic campaigners have called the move regressive and are concerned the powers could be abuse but the home secretary says officers need protection to. the police and on the front line in the battle against serious violence on his voice so we give them the right tools to do their jobs the so-called section sixty checks will be trialled 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 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 kirk i'm and social activist lead jasper who's a former quality 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 seen a probably assume that it's due to the racism of police officers that an officer of the law without any reasonable cause. can stop a 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 going start 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 flat earth society people are just making stuff up to just be political position is very clear the prime minister has said that stop and search is 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 place in that absolutely isn't it glasgow. show. they need to stop leashed 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 the 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. if federal judge in the u.s. state of north carolina has ruled schools policy unconstitutional after it required girls to wear skirts and a bit to promote traditional values the initial complaint from one of the peoples came in two thousand think teen 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 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 repair. so she could play outside see it come to bleed 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 violated the so-called equal protection clause noting that it imposes a burden on girls but not for the child's today 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's worth wait she says general link uniforms are dated and it's high time for change. what it reminds us is 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 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 therefore have a boys' version of the girls bushnell come along so discriminate 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 over enclosed purchase of russian arms the pentagon says it's halting deliveries of equipment for f. thirty five stealth fighter jets which turkey is in the process of buying and washington is demanding ankara 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 claim if turkey used the f. thirty five and the s one hundred within the same integrated system moscow would gain back door access to crucial intelligence. now 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 key cities including the capital thousands of opposition party supporters have been out celebrating over 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 more than fifty one percent of the vote so. we discuss this with author and historian gerald horne and ken stone from the hamilton coalition to stop war. i think that there was dancing in the hallways at the pentagon this morning when news trickled in that mr a.k.p. party michael lost not only distant but also. this is reflecting the sharp deterioration in relations between and washington the u.s. needs the u.s. military industrial complex which is the most powerful economic and political force

inside the usa needs to be 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. there have been fresh clashes and venezuela where people have been rallying against cuts to power and water supplies protesters set fire to cars and threw stones at police the 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 rationalize tricity in order to deal with the crisis. meanwhile that as well as opposition leader at one point zero 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. a closer look reveals an interesting detail that's why does car making its way past the angry crowd and these are government meaning pro material 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 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 that it's 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. this is where nicolas maduro his base is this is where he. actually lives why is 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. that's in his breakdown for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not you know harvey will be taking over at about thirty minutes.

to. join me everything on the alex salmond and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business. a comedian has won the first round of ukraine's presidential election. doesn't have strong policy positions maybe was his greatest appeal though he made it clear corruption is ukraine's biggest challenge fixing ukraine's are very serious problems is no laughing matter.

they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. want to. have to go to the press this is what before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the waters in the. west. grano it was hard but you gotta make the best of how you. come

up and live so i mean having graduate and i showed up. my mother was a crack she used to do crack when i was a kid or when she had me or whatever she's she don't deliver no more my dad he was like a just a thief so you know i got like what i needed when i was a baby but i had a bad childhood from first grade i was a cool kid i mean i really was a first grade to middle with just when i left my childhood which was bad and love with somebody else i was a family my mom's friend and from like. every since i left the house that i like and i went to another person and i swear i started doing bad stuff you know it's being sneaky and i jot down a line down the remember i like tenth grade so i'm on say you don't have to go to school if you don't want to so i said i'm down that never wore my school and i

never want to go back to school i guess is in my blood so. i mean i was always. just i beg kids and i always wanted to be better so. i mean my mind's made up i want to do this for the rest of my life so you know i mean it's what i've. the. tree elderly people most of them have like them in jail or markets and disease or

some kind as a sickness where they can't help with their self so i have to help them with veining and clothing and feeding and things like that. and a lot of the people i've never met before so it gets kind of scary going to new houses and things like that but i guess you get kind of you so after a while. i got out that bell for a while and i was like let me try to resolve the how that does and then by rizal i just felt like i was another employee like i didn't make a difference in anyone's lives that's when i decided to get my nursing degree i've been doing this for four years now. i have a. nursing degree while suffocation i go again nursing homes in people's songs. and i love helping people. that's my biggest thing i don't know god out of always.
