very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with mean if you erin the top story this hour a new euro skeptic alliance is uniting within the news borders with italian interior minister moto salvini vowing to create a european spring this comes just a month before europe's parliamentary elections. rather short we are working towards building a new european dream which for me has become a nightmare. into focus family unity environmental protection and the future of young people will do it as an alternative movement. in paris for the details that show it to many see this euro skeptic alliance being able to make an impact. yes they do many people are hoping that they will gain a number of additional any peace in the european parliament and that will allow

them to have some sort of powerhouse that we haven't seen from you are a skeptic parties in the past. as he was launching this cross party this euro skeptic party across europe today was talking about working towards common ideologies which is in their sense the defense of europe something they believe the european parliament hasn't done very well in the past and the polls are showing that they all likely to increase the number of seats they hold next month's european elections let's take a listen now to what else mathias salvini had to say today. you're not. extremists are veterans and this is the only nostalgics are those in power in brussels today we're ready to build a new future this is the path to save europe because. the bankers. government. ok so who are the key players in this particular block well today it was of course. with the

league in italy but also the finns party were taking part alternative to germany and the danish people's party you already know from last week that the pens national rally is also on board with this new idea has also been traversing across europe trying to get other politicians to join in as well reaching out to the hungary's viktor orban. and also to politicians in spain in the netherlands and elsewhere across europe so the vision he's put forward is that potentially they could get at least ten parties to join forces potentially up to twenty of the elections and they're hoping that they could gain enough and me piece to make a group of about a hundred and fifty piece all from parties culturalism immigration and against the e.u. as it currently stands. it is the technocrats in russia was driving

europe into a ditch and we will declare war on the. political forces in the brussels bubble. for that. reason that if the masses of other classes drive back christianity then along christianity. to eliminate individual nations the language you use is the language of division is that what france wants you to not is our minds france is the masses of migrants you go. ok so we know what joins them together what i call my own interests all the water the problems that they face going ahead well many of these parties. all issues in previous european parliament's that's meant that they haven't been able to join together to create one large group in fact they've small formed smaller groups which have the power they would like to have their issues such as russia which

divide them for example we know that salvini from the league party has praised president putin very often he's called for the end of sanctions on russia but that's not the view from the governing people's party in poland let's also take a listen to what alternative germany said some of the issues that they face. we are dealing with very different. they all have identical similar positions on migration policy but a very different in other areas we must find a common platform if we don't find it will be ineffective we need to cooperate on key issues to strongly enforce our policy which is not possible with individual parties. well if the polls all right and we all go and see a rise in the number of nationalist and populist parties from the right who are going to get seats in the european election and they can form this essential super

group in the europol me european parliament ascension this is going to entirely shake up politics in the parliament as we know it saw no thank you for those details are solid reporting live from paris. at least forty six militants have been killed and scores more injured in fighting near the libyan capital the violence has been intensifying since thursday when forces loyal to general khalifa haftar launched an offensive aimed at seizing tripoli from the un backed government there the united nations earlier called for a short ceasefire to allow civilians to be evacuated but clashes clashes continued despite that the organization says two thousand eight hundred people have fled the area libya's prime minister has accused the rebel general who backs a rival government in the eastern city of tobruk of attempting a coup both sides have targeted each other with air strikes. or libya has been

divided since two thousand and eleven in the death of leader moammar gadhafi the country is now split between the u.n. backs government in tripoli in the west and the rival government over in taba in the east added to all this there are also other militant groups active there including isaac and the international community is deeply concerned over the recent escalation including the united states have temporarily withdrawn their forces from the ground they say the situation is too dangerous and unpredictable washington's urged the rebels to immediately hold the military action against the tripoli government insisting that the crisis can only be solved through diplomacy and market shift in the white house's position eight years ago. the market i think has lost legitimacy to lead and he must leave.

we came we saw him he died. showing the world you would get rid of a dictator i do you would choose freedom. thank you. senior correspondent my guns yes picks up the story. the un e.u. backed regime in libya the government of national accord or g n a is fighting for its very life all but surrounded now by the army of their rival government in red here led by general hafta disapprobation is aimed against all groups considered by the international community to be terrorists we have security council resolutions according to which these organizations are classified as terrorist groups where this military escalation game is a complete surprise to us double it began with warmongering rhetoric from hafter

which were a throwback to the days of dictatorship and told to a terrible rule general have to up and his libyan national army on a roll storming toward the capital tripoli in the desperate g.m.a. have ordered their armies meaning the various islamist and militia groups that supported the counterattack on all fronts they've given this last stand the name the volcano of rage it's chaos worse both sides a pounding each other with air strikes and the u.n. is panicking. if. and if we are. i still hope it be possible before it's bloody all from station in and out on tripoli it's entirely possible that things will spiral out of all control the united states for one is already preparing for just that we will continue to monitor

conditions on the ground and assess the feasibility for a renewed u.s. military presence i was appropriate it appears they have a plan and they have the aces u.s. military presence is an x. hanging over libya at the drop of a had they can intervene. again trouble is the last time they had a plan it ended in disaster turned libya into a failed state so here we are one nation two governments and countless fiefdoms guying the militias and sects a grand battle royale with a prize worth fighting for the winner gets one of the biggest oil reserves in the world oath on to story and jerrold one believes this situation is a direct consequence of nato actions in twenty eleven general how tar will probably

ignore the calls for a negotiated political settlement and you may well expect a bloodbath to unfold in tripoli which is quite tragic and quite unfortunate but i'm afraid to say is the inevitable outcome of the ill advised attack by the north atlantic treaty organization speaking of nato led by the united states as a result of the two thousand and eleven overthrow of mr khadafi in tripoli this is led to libya becoming a gateway for migration across the mediterranean from africa generally leading to many people dying in the choppy seas of the mediterranean the current regime in libya is not very popular it is dependent on our militias oftentimes act like gangsters looting and plundering their fellow

libyans. in less than twenty four hours israelis will head to the polls for a general election the main rivals for the prime minister's office are incumbent leader benjamin netanyahu and former chief of staff of the israeli military belly dance netanyahu who leads the right wing likud party supports free market capitalism a liberal agenda and is opposed to palestinian statehood but his rivals from the blue and white political alliance want dialogue with the palestinians they also want to limit how long a prime minister stays in the job to a maximum of three terms international relations also prove to be a key for israel's electorate artie's kill him or put explains how the trump alliance might influence future elections. that would trump and benjamin netanyahu seem to be scratching each other's backs quite a bit lately it's a mutually beneficial relationship in ways that may not be completely obvious

whatever political gifts the trump is given to israel lately is not small first move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem for many years we failed to acknowledge the obvious the plain reality that israel's capital is jerusalem then the usa quit the un human rights council citing an alleged anti israeli bias such a council in fact damages the cause of human rights and then of course there is the matter of the chronic bias against israel since its creation the council was adopted more resolutions condemning israel against the rest of the world combined then just before the israeli elections donald trump the recognized israel's claim over the occupied golan heights captured from syria almost five decades ago i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's. over the golan heights.

folks will recall that obama refused to meet with netanyahu prior to elections citing it as improper meddling as a matter of longstanding practice in principle would not see has the states or candidates in close proximity to their elections as to avoid the appearance of influence in a democratic election in a foreign country however trump does not share obama's reservations so what is in it for the donald is he just an enthusiastic israel supporter well donald trump has got an election coming up too and to secure votes in twenty twenty israel is a good way to win support from american jews who are not his biggest fans according to a number of polls but most especially the christian evangelicals the jukes of this movement encourages jewish people to leave the democratic policy to destroy. spect republicans are waiting with open arms remember jerusalem u.s. embassy and the horrible iran you could deal mike pence an evangelical himself

seems to pretty well articulate this trend in how american christians feel about the middle east in the story of the jews we've. always seen the story of america my country's very first settlers also saw themselves as pilgrims sent by providence . to build a new promised land now political criticism of trump and bebe's political bromance seems to have been muted however a few voices have chimed in for example bernie sanders president trumps extremely on why is the solution to recognize drew slum as the capital of israel why recognizing only its importance to israel president trump has severely on the mind the peace process i am very concerned about the policy over the trump administration regarding the two state solution and a few noted intellectuals we see in israeli private investigations for going after

the person reputations of people behind the iran do there are new array of actors here that the american public didn't know about and this is all going to figure in the next election. israeli intervention in u.s. elections fosli overwhelms anything the russians may have done a common trope among donald trump's critics is to accuse him of being a hateful populist brewing in an atmosphere similar to the one nine hundred thirty s. germany and it seems that the white house has determined that the best way to counter that narrative is to scream we love israel at the top of their lungs u.s. and israel have always had a special relationship and a very strong relationship probably the strongest relationship of any united states ally is with israel so the fact that americans see benjamin it and you know as as a important figure and they see the israel relationship as important that might influence some voters to vote for president trump at the same time israelis view america in the highest the seam and the highest regard and they very much rely on the united

states and president trump is very popular so the fact that president trump has visited here the fact that president trump has moved the embassy to jerusalem the fact that president trump has canceled the iranian nuclear agreement the fact that president trump has recognized the golan heights and just the fact that president trump likes to tweet positive support for israel and for it it's a you know can be significant in people deciding who they're going to vote for in israel. well still to come this hour the world's big powers are disagreements over what to do with returning i still find says as among the stories after the break.

in a world of big partisan loot logs and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

permitted on the islam blowing yourself up so that you can take your enemies with you into death killing civilians who live in france or america that drove. some mission it's a couple i want to just after approximately three months of working at the police station in iraq i separated from my ass off to this i tried again and again to flee territory but it never worked out for various reasons you guys are trying to get out and die ash several times that was why i was twice in a prison many executions took place you just couldn't believe many were arrested and killed they told us that our wives would be great we would be killed but we would be beaten we wouldn't get any food would be sold to the iraqi government or to the syrian regime.

after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is the flooding here. and you should be like it's a cold this if. you do this the first one to leave the finished we just finished over to the other hundred. that's awesome you just want to do want to. see if it was national guard.

at the. plate you talk a little. it's a local church or from the school from some. little full support school board of these critics one of the least mythical. because they feel. ashamed to live through the smear. of the see you. the fullest someone new to believe because you go to school if you know where it is you. chose seemed wrong all right old rules just don't hold. me to the world that you get to shape out this day you can stick out to it and engage with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome to. not say digital technology continues to bring unprecedented opportunities into our lives but it also opens up new doors for a crime what is the life of a cyber criminal like and what hidden dangers lurking out there for me or you will ask their original internet godfather former notorious cyber criminal turned.

as our lives migrate to the digital future crime is following and as we trust more and more of our intimate information to gadgets the lives of tech savvy crooks get easier than ever before is cyber crime the most pressing danger of the twenty first century can someone armed with only a laptop and wife and i break more havoc than an armed gang and is there any way to protect ourselves from the digital threat. johnson welcome it's great to have you on our program so brett you've been called they original internet godfather and a pioneer of online crime you've been quite a tourist for some time but in the end they got you how did you get caught i mean where did you slip up or drop your guard well we were i slipped up was breaking the law to begin with. i ran a group called shadow crew which was the forerunner of today's dark night markets today cybercrime markets we made the front cover of forbes in august of two thousand and four october twenty sixth two thousand and four the secret service

rose to thirty three people in six countries in six hours i was a guy that got away the way i got called i continued to break the law i was running counterfeit cashier's checks gentleman by the name of albert gonzales who was our foreign techie handled the software on the forum. he had been arrested by the secret service and was working undercover and that is what ended up getting the entire group busted so our lives are becoming intertwined with the internet more every year and its capabilities grow new gadgets come out and we all become ever more connected does that open to new avenues for cyber criminals as well absolutely the problem is that people tend to trust technology inherently just because it's the internet people tend to to linda too much trust of that type of mechanism they don't really understand that criminals love to operate using the internet it lends itself to anonymity the criminal doesn't have to face the victim or the person he's

trying to rip off or steal money from either so it it also lends itself to that separation so the criminal act like when i broke the wall it was all about me stealing from people that i'd never met and never would meet and that allowed me the opportunity to to be anonymous and also not have to face the people that i was ripping off and i've heard that the most damaging cyber attacks that kompany is can face come from of bogus emails how come that after millions of dollars spent on sophisticate far wallace on workshops being held on elementary cyber security skills it still takes a single click on a bad link to send the whole enterprise down the river well the reason is the human factor the reason that that ninety two percent of every single breach begins with a phishing attack phishing attack is simply as a form of social engineering as a criminal you know that it's much easier to ask someone permission then it is to try to brute force your way.
