international live from our moscow studio with me and welcome to the program. alarming videos have emerged online allegedly showing iraqi troops brutally executing and beating detainees in mosul baghdad officials have launched an investigation after facing condemnation from human rights groups and a warning to might find some of the following footage disturbing the video we're showing you right now and with soldiers throwing a suspected jihad us off a cliff the soldiers shoot the man after he hits the ground human rights watch told us they were able to confirm that the location of this video is mosul. what we were able. the images to.

the national weather service in sterling virginia has issued a special memory warning for chester river to queenstown island eastern be twelve forty five pm eleven fifty nine am a shower capable of producing water spouts with located there was bridge of the east at ten knots. water spouts and wind gusts thirty four knots or greater source radar indicated the storm has a history of producing water spouts impact one bounce can create locally hazardous ease boaters and small craft could be thrown overboard by suddenly higher winds and waves capsizing their vessel locations that include island narrows bridge chester river and eastern. to this administration but for many over the course of the last four or five thought of instructions going to amnesty or another human rights group a group comes out with a report on a country that you don't like their life north korea or syria you are and they

don't consult those governments when they do that you're for it's you guys except it was you know and you even talk about it and praise the reports from rome from the podium and say this is you know we can't relate to chemical weapons in syria but when they come up with a report that is on a country that is a madman i have to say we want is that on that report like hartmann of defense puts together a very thorough humanitarian excuse me a very thorough civilian casualty list this is not a case does not a situation where you accept reports that if you like the results but do not accept imagined i'm not going to characterize it that way at all ok i think we better with us now we have repeatedly raised our concerns with the u.s. government in the joint compound operations and will be for aren't some else really for example about very many of them says that we are continuing to document iraqi government sources i should say that the interior ministry in iraq has promised to

investigate these particular reveals just that they promised to investigate prior videos showing severe abuses by iraqi government forces to date we have never seen the rocket government actually hold any soldiers accountable for these abuses that are being documented what would really be best for the iraqi government and the syrian government to ratify the world statute and during the i.c.c. so that we can bring these appearances to an international tribunal that mistreatment of anybody never justified even if they are isis fighters they should not be mistreated that's why we have international laws that are going to separate us from isis that's why we can say the international community better than isis because we don't mistreat any. the majority of americans now view north korea as the greatest threat to u.s. national security coming even ahead of his landing state as according to a new poll comes after pyongyang's latest ballistic missile test artie's keller

more been reports from the streets of new york. when asked about what was the greatest foreign threat to the united states forty percent of americans was to north korea now that's not really surprising given all the talk there's been in the media about the danger posed by kim and his friends. with the united states the north korean dictator kim jong un threatens the united states with nuclear weapons and tensions are really inching to the point of war so how much are americans really in danger from north korea their closest neighbor south korea says that intelligence shows that north korea really doesn't have the capability to carry out an intercontinental ballistic missile strike considering how north korea does not have any testing facilities for reentry technology the agency believes north korea has not yet secured that technology yet north korea is still listed is the greatest threat greater than i still and that's despite the growing threat of radicalization and homegrown terror recently described by homeland security the

number of post nine eleven homegrown terror plots in the united states has served so many aspects of this terrorist thing obviously you've got the homegrown terrorist i don't know how to stop that i don't know how to detect that so why are people so afraid of north korea we decided to find out the greatest foreign threat to the united states. everything. even the. north korea tyranny with its career russia chinese isis russia iran or saudi arabia and iraq the relationship between hope and china russia korea i do you think korea is a threat. well it's pretty obvious they want to destroy it they have a very. hostile dictator it's very offensive towards the united states that is to the whole thing without a warm beer stay have the missile and test it and. it's scary you know i don't know i mean are they really a threat are they will what are they really are they really going to shoot over

missiles i mean if we're going to have a nuclear holocaust i think that's a little bit much you know. but i don't know with north korea is. as big of a threat as we're being as being perceived i don't feel dead that they are imminent threat i think that they can start something however that can spike globally what makes north korea a greater threat than i so. i don't know that's a good it's a great question i would think they're under dictabelt which are both unpredictable i think they have the ability of the atomic weapon i think right now i just is more of a threat the north korea but you know maybe ten fifteen years down the road north korea could be more of a threat i think it's a genuine threat if you like the media's hyping threats about north korea is a big big time i mean i'm going to just i think that it's it's fear mongering you sit down and you watch fox news ever since you don't do all these more entertainment now it's more they just want to keep you glued to the t.v. screen to see what's going to happen next is up to media is hyping anything they can hype in order to get people to watch at this point u.s.

president franklin delano roosevelt said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself and perhaps the most dangerous fears are those that are manufactured and not based on credible threats. r.t. new york now let's just look at whether north korea's nuclear program is really as dangerous as the media seems to make out north korea claims it has a number of nuclear warheads estimated to be can but pyongyang to yet have any missiles capable of sending a warhead over a large distance the furthest they've got a test missile is nine hundred thirty kilometers which was well short of reaching the u.s. this all means that in effect north korea has no active strategic nuclear forces investigative journalist tim sharp believes the media's scam mongering. the united states. public has been has been subject to a massive propaganda campaign that war is you know coming tomorrow to korea the

idea that somehow north korea is more of a danger though you know comes from this propaganda that north korea is aiming is building weapons in an offensive way and this strike wants to attack the united states and then north korea's developments of weapons or aimed right at the rate at all our cities and they are ready at any moment to attack us there is no background at all explaining to people you know how we got here what the role of the united states has been in this crisis what could be done to get out of it it's all just scaremongering. despite islamic state meeting it's held in iraq and syria they're still concerned at the legacy it's leaving behind over the is at the height of its power islamic state raised an army of children the so-called cubs of the caliphate those youngsters were taken to special training camps where they were given an education not in literature and their response but in extremism and

executions well let's. discuss this live now with paul martin political and communications director of peace action and lauren a southern conservative activist and journalist welcome both to the program we'll start with you paul so-called i sill cubs. as we saw there been film exit getting people some of them say they admired isis execution videos. in your opinion does this pose a direct threat danger to society. well

certainly some of them probably are doing to us and that's going to be up to our professionals like psychologists to take that into account to interview them and to see if they're going to be able to really be rehabilitated we have shown that child soldiers in other parts of the world can be rehabilitated if enough resources and time are spent on them and we owe it to these children these children are to not choose to be born in the place of the choose to be indoctrinated by isis and here they are so it is up to us as a society and especially those countries because isis in the first place to fund to make sure that one society is safe and to we do what we can to rehabilitate these children laura and paul makes some good points there the fact that they were you know they didn't choose to be in that situation nevertheless as i said before some of them some people say that they admired these isis execution videos. what do you

think about it do you agree that they could be dangerous how dangerous do you think they are to society. well it's not just a matter of some of these kids admiring the videos in fact there are kids as young as nine and even younger that are participating in the training camps with i says even in beheadings and killings it's insane and some of these people are up for consideration to be brought back into. entries like the netherlands and what comes now is not a question of do we want to do something of course we want to help these kids who doesn't but what we can do and still keep the people in these countries safe that they're coming back to like the netherlands and i know there for instance the dutch intelligence is saying that these are being considered traveling to you how to use these children they are indoctrinated and they only have around eight people monitoring jihad eason people that are considered radicalized they can't monitor

them all the time so what about the kids in the netherlands that want to remain safe would a parent from the netherlands want their child in a school with a kid who had committed execution would they want them in a school with someone who was radicalized i don't think so it's a serious threat posed to mention the fact that with the right treatment with the right amount of residual says these children could possibly be rehabilitated but lauren's made a good point there the results is an issue there isn't there how can those local governments if we look at the netherlands for an example how can they cope with monitoring a large number of children who have possibly gone through the trauma and at that point in time agree with the execution video. you know i don't think it's a resource issue it's a priority issue the countries who supported the invasion in iraq in the first place in which many who saurians think is actually a cause isis to form of those countries are quite wealthy including the country i'm

in right now united states who just authorized nearly a trillion dollars to spend on the pentagon there is plenty of money to go around to help these children that we have responsibly to responsibly to do so so it's not a resources issue it's a priority issue so once we are already will to get the funding in my understanding right now we only have two percent of the funding to hold about six hundred thousand children that were involved with will there's a smaller percentage of those who are actually in the isis indoctrination camps. there is money there it's about priorities and i do agree you have to be careful this is not there's no simple solutions here takes professionals it takes time to to decide when children can be put back into the normal population but it can be done and we know that responsibility to them lauren you know the facts of the syrian and iraqi governments cope with the problem themselves surely the responsibility fulls on western countries for moral responsibility so so

why do you oppose. what about the moral responsibility to the people already living in their countries where having enough trouble helping the syrians that have already come in and sort of the migrants the majority of the people coming in especially to europe are migrants not refugees and they're having enough trouble dealing with these and integrating these citizens terrorism is all over europe you're already having enough trouble tracking the japanese with in european countries and simulation is a huge issue just in canada where i'm from within the schools we've had a massive number of sexual assaults occurring with the young kids that are being integrated from syria there we cannot deal with the integration happening now and it's not a matter of money and many of these countries are in debt and are not giving their money to their own citizens and their own poor and their own refugee camps that are already extremely overwhelmed they're considering shutting down many of the paths

on the mediterranean or migrants are coming down or they have had them open for a long time because places like italy can't handle this anymore there is such a large influx of people that they can't handle it and there's children that their child to help as well what how are we supposed to prioritize the thousands and thousands of children in syria that could potentially kill and harm children in europe with their radical ideas when we can't even deal with the issues we have right now in europe and the thousands of migrants and potential radicals there. lauren's question is that she's got a point that you know europe is struggling at the moment with the increase of migrants and refugees should they be burdened even further. what's the alternative the alternative the kids stay there and then definitely become radicalized and definitely become geologist is that what we want i don't think that's the solution i mean part of the problem here is we have challenges

that are caused because we're not taking the time to invest in the long term solutions to solve these problems that is clearly some of the things born mentions we need investments in poverty we need investments in education we need investments for people to feel free and safe and a sense of justice those are the things that solve violent extremism in the long term and it also would keep us from having the migrant and immigration and displaced peoples if we would make sure that we invest in these things instead of doing what we are doing which is using drone strikes you know supporting saudi arabia in the military strikes in yemen these that's what's called causing a lot of these immigration challenges so you know we need to not only help the immigrants now but think about how we prevented has to happen happening in the future. so i have to jump in here i really do believe that it is

this idea that we can solve all the world's problems from the west that is causing a lot of i actually agree with you there that we have caused a lot of problems i am more of a nationalist myself where i believe we should deal with the problems in our own country and our own people within our own nations but it's coming from both a liberal bent and a conservative bent whether it be by bombs or by giving people free shoes like toms which is destroyed a lot of the industry in africa for shoe companies and shut those down we can't. into every country and pretend we can solve all their problems we cannot be radicalized every single child that's in isis areas that is impossible it's a ridiculous notion there are hundreds of thousands of these kids we can't solve that we can't solve their problems by dropping bombs on them i think it's about time we pull out and stop pretending that the west is the savior of the rest of the world and instead solve our own problems at home shut down our borders and stop letting mass migration and amber time that we can solve it by bombing their nation and letting people in that's ridiculous we cannot solve it from a liberal bent or

a conservative bad we need to solve our own country's issues and stop pretending we are the saviors of the world whether it be the liberals or the conservatives. i mean poll even if we look at some of the children that have been radicalized some of them are already teenagers and their personalities someone say have already been formed and i salute doctrine how is it possible to. all of them laurens talked about thousands of children needing help how do you think that this is going to be a solution bringing them into europe. yeah i agree that there's not a there's not an easy solution here and we're not going to do radicalize all these kids and that's why you need the professionals on the monies who can look at each child and decide if this is going to be possible or not because the ones who can are we going to go we're going to where are we going to get money from. well i

don't know how this is in canada but i know we spend nearly over fifty percent of our discretionary funds on the pentagon which i feel is outrageous we have plenty of money here in the states there's plenty of money to solve these issues here in the states we don't have to spend one point two trillion dollars over thirty years on nuclear weapons that's ridiculous there is money so why should that allowed them when it was criminal not exhausted it is actually just a lack of priorities so we need to keep the priorities and push the priorities i would not be here if it wasn't for immigration and i don't think you would be in canada if one's from immigration unless you're into it or i'm a native american legal. form these are countries and we us and we need to work and that's what's happening now these immigrants who are who we have responsibility to are illegally attempting to get away from issues that are caused by western countries there's no doubt that we've had support in syria there's no doubt that we caused that issue in iraq and there's no doubt that we're supporting saudi arabia

in causing now seventeen million perhaps immigrants around yemen that is our responsibility to deal with and we should deal with it and there is money to do it if we decide to do it. whole the continent the u.n. has shown that sorry. go ahead lauren. well i'm just saying the u.n. says it's have shown that the majority of these people coming over illegally through boats or otherwise through turkey three eastern european countries in the different routes are not in fact syrian or people that are coming in because of conflict the vast majority of them are economic migrants so to pretend we have some duty to help these people what about our duty to the people trying to legally come into countries that aren't jihads that are people that have been radicalized there are children and families that are illegally waiting five years to come into europe that want to contribute to the economy that want to be useful and helpful that we are putting on the backburner for todd. in times of illegal immigrants and to bring

in people that are potentially georgis in trouble and put tons of money in them buying spending money on psychologists and extra security programs why are we not focusing on the people trying to legally come in right now we keep talking about all of the children the children there are children trying to legally come in yet we are focusing on these illegal migrants and people that are potentially jihadi it's ridiculous i do agree we need to change our priorities. poll there are tensions there's undoubtedly tensions between migrants and the local populations in a number of the countries that receive them won't these i still tilton if they all pull it in to you it only adds to the existing problems as lauren has suggested is . course this is issues that we have seen for years legal or illegal migrants. the irish came here when the

chinese came to the united states you can just go through each group that have come to the united states have faced problems that is just the nature of people coming in from the outside and the sense that they are taking their job or they're taking resources in which sometimes they are which totally understandable that's why we have responsibility to look at these long term solutions because if we don't do a long term solutions were all going to create more displaced people because they don't have it other opportunities or they are in countries in which there is not poverty alleviation in which we are one of the smallest per capita and in far as investments europe is much better canada's much better. doing development and me man interrogated those kind of investments is how you prevent this to happen in the first place but we're too late on that for some of this now so unless we want to see you know mass starvation or perhaps violent uprising. we should be thinking

about how we take care of not only. legal but also illegal immigrants in some way that is going to make sure we're not creating more problems than cure. lauren. if we look at the situation at the moment in europe. i you know it's afraid because obviously it seems that terrorism has been on the rise there's been lots of attacks in europe and on you afraid that if nothing is done that those radicalized children if they are left without treatment might be the next generation then the new ice will they they'll be frustrated possibly so that that won't take away the problem will it so what's the solution in your view. well of course i'm worried about that and the biggest issue here is the migration is happening in such a massive amount right now about enclaves are being created all throughout europe

where these children and likely aren't going to go into communities where they're going to learn about the culture of the nation that they're coming into why they're going to go into a community that's just like back home when i walk through the streets of mallaby can i speak to people there they tell me they want sharia law there i have video of it so they're going into areas that are going to be just like back home where they will likely have things like jihad and extreme views still pushed on them and that's only going to create more and more of an us and them feeling in europe and if if we're worried about some sort of uprising or war or tensions happening between the peoples recent migrants and the native peoples of countries well then we have to start speaking about the issue of these enclaves and the issue of the mass amounts of migration we're taking in if we slow things down and we take the people that genuinely want to assimilate and are coming in. for reasons that such

in coming in through extreme vetting processes then maybe we can solve this issue and get rid of radicalization and get rid of these enclaves but we are going to have to shut the borders real fast and start some extreme vetting process and soon because things are already getting a little too late places like mark slope places like mall and we are pretty much an entirely different country at this point from the countries that they are supposedly in ok well paul. martin political and communications director of peace action lauren southern conservative activists and generous thank you both for coming on to the show to discuss this issue thanks. violent protests recent g. twenty summit in hamburg germany as interior minister is proposing to tag the potential rioters in the hope of preventing a repeat of the situation rhodes's should be prevented from reaching demonstration make them repeat to the police at specific times or if necessary. the anti g.

twenty rally in hamburg started relatively peacefully with activists marching through the streets chanting the slogans and holding banners however in a violent confrontation erupted involving the police. and. electronic tanks proposed for potential rioters can already be awarded by the courts in certain situations they usually take the form of our monitors and the most commonly used on people under curfew or those released early from prison tagging is also used in health health care to keep track of people with dementia professor van a present from dresden university of technology says that such measures would be

helpless. ceases says more symbolic and basically hopeless measures announced by the government or by others in germany these are the seasonal roxanne's of violence which are due to some problems we have mystically groaning under the present law it seems not to be legal it is. to make change this last not to lead to the decider and see if we have hit such tax or its long lease who lives the list got rid of sin so this is more or less as the announcement without any effectiveness in practice. at next thought international is redacted tonight.

thanks thanks thanks thanks was. down because nobody's talking about donald trump is the best thing to have out of all what have you wall street in twenty years because since the moment he took the oath of office no one had to undergo a word about wall street pillaging the world and was draining loves it when no one's talking about wall street that they're like tyler durden by gov they are they they love it as long as no one's talking about wall street they can all just go about robbing the country blind you know also like tyler durden wall street has an army of autumn aton cyborgs wreaking mayhem so it's pretty similar.
