a soaring council writes. painted as a key global threat the united sixty general got an enthusiastic response in the u.s. congress as he outlined counter measures against. we have increased the redness of forces to people decide so the nato response force modernized our command structure bolstered i was cyber defenses and we have stepped up our support to our close partners georgia and ukraine sovereign nations with a sovereign right to choose their own puff. on today to the secretary general speech to the u.s. congress focused on four key points it looked at the importance of the alliance as

you may well imagine also an increase in the spending all of its members it also looked at expansion and of course the old four we see a path or russian behavior including a massive military buildup from the arctic to the mediterranean and from the black sea to the baltic the use of military grade nerve agent inaki kingdom support for ourselves murderous regime in syria consistent cyber attacks on nato allies and partners targeting everything from parliaments to poverty rates. sophisticated this information campaigns and attempts to interfere in the more crecy itself. again stoltenberg also met the us president donald trump is bates well no bones about the fact he wants to see members of nato up there spending game and it's certainly something

that the nato secretary general is on board with the clear message from president trump. help is having a real impact we see that many more than eight dollars now meet the two percent card on the spending two percent of g.d.p. on defense and even those who are not yet reached a two percent guard london have now more and more of them have put in place or submitted a credible national plans on how to reach the two percent god on within twenty twenty four well stoltenberg as there was in the united states as part of the celebrations for the seventieth anniversary of the creation of nato has been said that it's alliance of a bygone era however former head of the cia says that russia has given nato a new lease of life let's keep in mind if you will that vladimir putin is the greatest gift to nato since the end of the cold war and it has provided a new reason for living if you will for nato seventy years of nato and if you

listen to what's coming out of washington for those celebrations it would seem it's going to be around for a fair few years yet. britain's prime minster trees in ways met with the leader of the opposition in a bid to move briggs it forward jeremy corbin described the talks as useful but inconclusive and earlier members of parliament vented their frustration at the reason may's handling of the situation. two proposals put forward for across party cooperation to solve the brics a crisis one of them was to work with the leader of the opposition to deliver a major breakthrough one on the other was to work with the two hundred eighty employees across the cowards who will support or do young subject of a confirmatory referendum why does she trust the leader of the opposition more than the people british government is in. westminster is completely dysfunctional the important factor here prime minister that you're having formal talks with the leader of the opposition scotland will not accept

a tory audience leiber breaks it does it remain the position of the prime minister that the leader of the opposition is not fit to govern they do not think that the labor party should be in government it is a conservative for different people but to do that we need to find a way of this house agreeing the withdrawal agreement and agreeing the degree in the way forward and that is on that basis that i have been sitting down with members across the house. to his main jeremy corbyn failed to reach consensus threesome i could try thinking further extensions from the e.u. could prevent popular at home even force the prime minister to call an election or a second referendum if however made corbin agree on the deal and get support of parliament well that would put the u.k. on track to leave the european union by may twenty second brussels though could refuse further talks which could lead to an exit without any deal political commentator and journalist john white says tories are made trying to shift the blame for her failed brags that plan to the labor party. i think this could be

a trap for cauldron because. recently he said he would do just to condition to these talks that he must do this who could be a child whereby prime minister turns in getting these talks about and then come home believe looking direction and that will be a basis for calling an early general election. cruised to jericho as a. sequence will see and lose our election trying to use that as an utter crisis the government is in crisis and there needs to be some kind of cathartic moment that will least attraction as built up over these past few weeks you see of course locally at this juncture don't see the talks will be assured and a million two cents. a people smuggler has shed light on the lucrative illegal trade revealing it costs each migrant at least two thousand euro to be taken to europe from africa the revelations came in a documentary made back canadian investigative journalist and filmmaker. people

have to have to spin the lot of money where. they had to spend two thousand you know. four thousand for four thousand you know or two thousand for a few votes is not gotten to. spawn you are lucky. you are at the moment you try again. and how do you guarantee in the door when you're on the board you might not go to the auto zone. so and that unless you know in the. in this bit of. one but they were meant to. be you push them and they go you and they speak how much money can you make. from the door to spain where you know. you can have two thousand two thousand five hundred or four thousand you know the totality fifty plus one optic i think it

was deposed one. fifth of course on everybody and by two thousand five hundred people two thousand five. hundred votes have an epiphone we spoke to lawrence of the new film that interview with the moroccan smuggler. now the moroccan man we assume at the moment is someone that would have connections within the moroccan government or be able to ensure that the coast guard would leave because we were told multiple times by people on the ground that there is a cut that people on the coast moroccan coast guard received to stop patrolling certain areas so about boats can leave from spain so this is a quite. intelligent business this isn't just a few people fleeing their country desperately getting on dinghies trying to get to spain this is a very structured business and at times he's saying it's around five hundred to a thousand people imagine how much. money you're making it's one hundred thirty

thousand euros per boat i mean you can ten boats in a day you're making one point three million dollars why is no one talking about this massive criminal syndicate it's crazy to me to to think that anyone has been portraying this as well certainly on the moroccan or turkish side of libyan side as a humanitarian aid crisis this is almost entirely a business and anyone you speak to on the ground migrant trafficker or otherwise will tell you this is a business they are not looking to help people they don't care if you're persecuted they don't care about your race religion your gender in fact women are turned away often in some of these camps. spain is one of the main gateways to europe from africa since the start of this year more than five thousand migrants have arrived in spain by sea in two thousand and nineteen almost sixty thousand made the crossing or in southern again says the little spain can do to control the situation

. there's not much the authorities can do i don't doubt that some want to do something about this however most of these migrants and this causes chaos for both the spanish and for the migrants themselves on the advice of traffickers are told to throw their passports into the sea or destroy them before entering spain and we actually saw it with our own eyes passports that had been ripped up on the ground in these camps of morocco and the reason they do this is so that once they set foot in spain they have no way of being deported but what this also achieves is that there is no way of processing these migrants they can't be imagine how long it takes to process a person that has offered all of their history their passport their work their banking records it still takes five six seven years to get citizen citizenship in a country a person rocking up with not even a passport how are they supposed to get processed how are they supposed to get

a job or become a citizen or even be seen as a refugee so the police can't deal with this and lots of people because they can't even identify who they are and the migrants cannot become a part of the european system because on the advice of these traffickers they threw out their passports assuming they would be entering to europe that is far more they imagine is far more wealthy and a lot more like paradise than it actually is the reality is these people end up on the streets in france they end up on the streets in italy in spain unable to get a job unable to join the actual society because they can't be processed as citizens so the police can do what they want but there is not much they can achieve when these people cannot be identified. western women who are the jump when they visit iran or insulting the nation according to a prominent to rein in women's rights activist she believes that calling the part of iranian culture contradicts the of those buckling against the compulsory head

covering law. they say that this is a cultural issue where where it's out of respect to the culture of iran calling it discriminatory law as part of our culture this is an insult to a nation. and around the banditry job lower requires all women to wear it in public the up to his condemnation of west women stirred mixed reactions online. while women in the middle is to fight for their freedom from this religious tyranny westernesse think your job is a cultural it's good to. know they wear it because the told if they don't they can't get in a state they're just being polite but everyone knows it's mandatory they know they have to otherwise they may never return as a woman fighting against a compulsory he job in iran it's more than painful to me when i hear people say it compulsory he job is our culture it is not just look at the picture of the rand before deny nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution we put the issue at the

debate with journalist money. saudi hamid his spokesperson from the council of muslims of britain. well why do i have to respect laws when i go to another country and when for example even as a veiled person i insulted i am stopped at airports just because i am a muslim woman because i choose to wear the his job and this is something that is not mandatory for me this is something that i choose and this is part of women's freedom people who are standing against this only in order to i think promote the mass media. image of women as objects as sex objects is just. not for one moment she even considered the women thrown into prison. tortured raped by prison guards for choosing to remove you don't ever speak up for them you are not full you have real value when you go

when you are not forced to yes yes there was lots of proof but you're not going to take into account any of those women's voices because it doesn't fit your narrative you of refusing to you're just lying about the about you know being made to take off your veil it's not an issue of lying look i don't know if i have the chance to talk to top right now but you as a person you are insulting at least half a billion veiled woman not inside iran outside iran as well it's not just about the veiled woman point is they have the right to your example and they have no right outside of iran. and you are on cue that are removing the law and they have the freedom what i do know is that iran after the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution everybody knows that it was a people's revolution it's all yours it islamic got that it was an artist read

about was that. it wasn't it's ok of illusion but it was a people's revolution i think it's i think it's ridiculous i think asking women to come. when they come into your country do justice and way you can't do that are not only that are for women from you know my our countries they then start using that as a stick to beat them with they say to them look at these non muslim women they're coming into your country and wearing his job when you're in your country you have to be more pious and them taking away their choices those are the women we never ever talk about one people choose and majority of the people choose to be governed by islamic law one of them is to wear the her job and the his job does not demean women it actually makes them become human beings and i'm not willing known unavailable going to tell you mary how is that what you mean by women who are veiled i'm not saying that this is another issue but inside iran there is a role and there is a lot of good. unless you change the whole system. the

u.k. is now claiming it doesn't know how many civilian casualties were caused by strikes in syria and iraq comes after authorities faced a wave of criticism for claiming their actions in the campaign resulted in just one civilian and it was not our position that there has only been a single civilian casualty as a result of our military action what we are saying is that we only have evidence of what we believe to have been a single civilian casualty according to the u.k. defense ministry the world force conducted nearly two thousand strikes during its engagement in syria and iraq in twenty fourteen resulting in the deaths of more than four thousand deisel fighters human rights organization amnesty international released a damning report last year accusing the coalition of failing to acknowledge the scale of damage the campaign caused civilians. it is completely reprehensible that the coalition refuses to acknowledge its role if most of the civilian casualties it

caused let's not forget the ministry of defense actually only trained one civilian had been killed after months and months of claiming none the idea that you can know whether someone is an arsenal fighter or a civilian after a bomb has been dropped on them the idea that you don't have enough boots on the ground for one category of people to be identified but you do for another one i'm afraid this just absolutely stinks of propaganda from our government i don't think the figures would change i don't think anything that we've been given about our involvement in syria or afghanistan iraq libya have been accurate because we just don't know we keep rushing into these interventions with no idea about who were targeting the best thing to do would be to leave the people of syria to have their own destiny in their own hands and for british troops and british planes to come back to britain. the french president claims protecting the environment is

a national priority but now an end dust filled pollution crisis on the south coast tends to shatter that image like your correspondent charlotte devinsky has details . but this is for so many on the one hand it looks like an idyllic seaside town in the south of france but you don't have to look very far to see the whole area is overshadowed by one of europe's largest industrial and port zones for years the oil refineries chemical factories and still companies have spewed out and noxious cocktail a few residents say that plague the health problem or. the main problem comes from the industrial port area which emits ultra fine particles that get into our lungs and bloodstream and cause disease about only the cancer and here is ten percent higher than the average in france and aspirin diabetes levels also elevated this could all be avoided if the waste from the territories was processor properly daniels' not mean himself he's been diagnosed with diabetes and

heart problems linked to the pollution. probably shouldn't complain about having diabetes when some people here have several different types of cancer is an enormous problem just fifty kilometers from here none of this is happening so we can clearly see that it's a local problem with a local so there is a stark difference in pollution between our village and the ones further away french government reports have a good knowledge that residents here are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases like alzheimer's while women who participated in a study were almost three times more likely to have or have had cancer compared to the national average the e.u. claims its citizens benefit from some of the highest environmental standards in the world and has pledged to continue cleaning up the continent but despite taking countries like france to court over egg quality standards many people here believe that the actions just don't go far enough. they're too weak they

say that they need to protect industries and of course we need industry but they need to stop cutting corners and do more to reduce pollution. board the european commission even admits that twenty three of its twenty eight member states exceed air quality norms and knows that poor air quality accounts the permit your deaths of four hundred thousand people every year with less than two months before e.u. citizens head to the polls environmental issues and concerns like those in force so now a climbing the agenda meanwhile present my point has long been an advocate of ramping up the battle to combat climate change we are killing our planet's lead to its there is no planet b. and if we do nothing our children will know a world of migrations of walls of shortage of done for this world it is not a few queue we want for ourselves ma generation will do the best in order for your

generation to us the choice to choose. but it will be the duty of your generation to do the job environmental campaigners have accused him of all talk and little action people in for so many seem to feel the same way. now it's on his promises he hasn't done anything yet. if nothing is done and in future years the situation will become very serious. and i think he wants to tackle lots of problems but when it comes to implementing them i'm not sure he has six sitting at the moment he has other things on his plate and this issue is not one of his priorities . i think there's still plenty of work to be done you know about the yellow vest movement and one of the recognitions is improving the environment people here say that without immediate action the future remains their children a bleak prospect so it didn't ski r.t.

for. vice president joe biden who's expected to run for the white house in twenty twenty has been fending off allegations of sexual misconduct now another potentially damaging revelation has come to light it relates to joe biden's past dealings with ukraine killed more than explains. former vice president joe biden is caught up in a bit of a scandal his name has been floated for the last year or so as a possible democratic challenger the donald trump in the twenty twenty elections but now everyone is talking about his habit of getting frisky with both women and girls in public he leans down smells my hair and then plants this big long kiss on the top of my head joe biden's presidential campaign hasn't even officially begun and people in china not go out of the running joe biden is facing new accusations of inappropriate behavior joe has a habit of doing things right out in the open and while everyone is focusing on

this rather touchy subject some of his earlier deeds are not getting as much attention last year in an interview joe bragged about getting ukraine's general prosecutor fired he says he was standing up to corruption got a commitment from poor shouldn't go they would take action against the state prosecutor and they did this and i'm telling you not getting the hours i said you're not getting the billion i'm going to be leaving the year i think is what six hours no longer isn't even six hours if the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money. you know foreigners put in place someone who was solid at the time well just so happens that the general prosecutor was investigating an energy firm in which joe biden's son hunter biden was heavily invested bris milah holdings is an energy corporation in ukraine and hunter biden the son of the former vice president has made a rather handsome profit from it especially in the aftermath of the twenty fourteen events in ukraine in which pro e.u.

forces took power but that prosecutor was looking into three different instances of foul play from under his cash cow however all it took was a phone call from papa joe and that prosecutor was out we had. heard and the crime investigation. into the. hundreds of. members of the blue detained funds as well as another u.s. based legal entity rosemont said they could see for consulting services one might argue that perhaps joe biden had no idea about his son's financial interests they say he's the vice president perhaps he was too busy running the country to pay attention to his son's finances however if he watched any american media he could in the mist it.

back during the ukraine events of two thousand and fourteen the white house dismissed any notion that hunter biden's financial dealings had any impact on their decisions i'm wondering if the state. has any concerns or any thoughts with vice president joining the board of directors of this ukrainian. gas company know he's a private citizen so as rails in reels of video show that joe biden has some pretty strange proclivities and more women come forward saying they do not appreciate his affection at this point it's pretty clear that joe has an even stranger skeletons in his closet that he would like to keep very. artsy new york responding to accusations of sexual harassment joe biden said he never had the intention to act appropriately and biden has a surprise supporter. if you've been sexually harassed or assaulted write me to as

a reply to this tweet. hate to say shame on you you have daughters. i believe dr christine blasi forward. what i did feel was an invasion of my boys only autonomy and then they should hold my space you don't expect to be touched and kissed and progress by the vice president of the united states in no circumstance is that appropriate. i'm proud to call joe biden a friend i believe that joe biden's in town has never been to meet anyone uncomfortable and that he's kind empathetic leadership is what our country needs especially now. these two it's well not well you're

losing credibility and you're the same person who'd made excuses for bill clinton i thought you said the evil women are the tsunami or is that only when it's politically convenient. these are democrats who have championed the me too movement standing up for believing every woman but when it comes to one of their own that clearly is going against a woman's will touching them in appropriately with sexual advances coming up behind them kissing them on the back of the head or on the back of the neck and groping them and either in private or in full public display the democrats seem to have a two tiered or a double standard i should say when it comes to one of their own and when you have a me too movement that big. bastardized and weaponize for people that have nothing but political objectives in mind and we're not real victims you then take the real victims and you discredit them and you and they lose their voice and that is the

real tragedy here is that the me too movement has been weaponized by people in politics who are trying to use it against their political opponents and that's what we see time and time again particularly from the democrat party weaponize in this me too movement against the conservatives for their own political gain. but you brought up to that story for the latest news headlines on our top stories and often are.
