you're watching r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for watching. alarming videos have emerged online allegedly showing iraqi troops beating and brutally executing detainees in mosul baghdad officials have launched an investigation after condemnation from human rights groups and a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. well the video we're showing you right now ends with seoul just trying a suspected jihadist often in final and the soldiers shoot the man off and 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 to verify the images taken in the videos with satellite imagery to show that they are fact around the areas of most school that they appear to be in. we don't really have much information about the

videos in particular but they do match pieces that we've been documenting for many months now of actually usually executions by the rocky security forces both federal police forces as well as the popular mobilization forces there are really many many cases iraqi soldiers executing suspected isis militants torturing going to be using family members of suspected isis militants so sadly i have to say that these are not new or surprising well these latest allegations come just days after another rights group amnesty international blames the u.s. led coalition for thousands of civilian deaths during the battle for mosul it said the coalition's actions may amount to more crimes and u.s. state department spokesperson was grilled on the day. it seems to be and this is not just something that unique to this administration but for many over the course

of the last four or five thought of this research when amnesty or another human rights group group comes out with a report on a country that you don't like their life north korea or syria you're and they don't consult those governments when they do that you're for it's you guys accept it you know and you even talk about it and praise the reports from from from the podium and say this is you know we can't relate to chemical weapons in syria but when they come out 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 them as 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 command operations and will aren't something 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 for investigate these particular videos just that they promised to investigate prior videos showing severe abuses by iraqi government forces plan to date we have never see the iraqi 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 wrong statute and during the i.c.c. so that we can bring news and pincers 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 me. well with islamic state losing ground both in iraq

and syria it's not so many foreign fighters who've been fleeing the former stronghold but also women who became the wives of the terrorists is the second part of that testament is about what life is like in slide i so the first part is on our website and page. and there were a lot of horrors in places where women live kids had rashes lice and when they got sick they didn't get treatment those places in iraq that were like real presents that it was absolutely disgusting to be there one woman had contractions so she went to the chief and said that the woman was knocking on her door and crying for help but most of them i kicked her out saying that she wants to sleep and shouted i wish she were all dead the woman went into the garden bleeding and stayed there until morning no one paid any attention to her in the morning has found her lying in the garden and will fight as if nothing happened as if she was just

a dog if wives were treated this way others weren't even seen as human beings. at least that i still find so separated girls from married women and from slight looks lots of attention was paid to the girls men broke the make up just to sell them for fifteen thousand dollars virgins were sold for thirty thousand some girls managed to escape to rock those who helped them were killed. but it is that my husband told me there is no release of the year no lor and that we must return home so we started planning how to escape. a little bit of thick if in fact i knew what i saw was like i would never have gone and joined my cause been there. for him and not my husband and i made a huge mistake when. and thank goodness. now the

majority of americans north korea is the greatest threats to u.s. national security even more than islamic states that's according to a new poll it comes off to pyongyang's latest ballistic missile test caleb maupin 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 as 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 because 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. they really. were north korea tyranny was career russia chinese ice is russia iran or saudi arabia and iraq the relationship between bin and china russia korea why do you think korea is a threat. well it's pretty obvious they were destroyed they have. very. hostile

dictators very offensive towards united states that is to the whole thing without a warm beer as they have the missile and tested 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 as a as big of a threat as we're being as being perceived i don't feel that that they're eminent threat i think that they can start something however and that can spike up 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 what they're both unpredictable and i think they have the ability of the atomic weapon i think right now isis 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 time big time and i mean no i mean i just i think that it's so it's it's fear

mongering you sit down and you watch fox news m.s.m. is you don't do the whole is 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 cable mopp and r.t. new york well let's just take a look at whether north korea's nuclear program really is as dangerous as the media seems to my current north korea claims it has a number of nuclear warheads estimated to be ten p. o. young doesn't yet have any missiles capable of sending a warhead over a launch distance the fastest they've landed a test missile is nine hundred thirty kilometers which pulls well short of reaching the us well this all means that in effect north korea has no active strategic

nuclear forces investigative journalist tim shorrock believes the media's scammer in. 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 is trying wants to attack the united states and then north korea's development 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 explain to people you know how we got here what the role the united states has been in this crisis and what could be done to get out of it it's all just scaremongering basically. violent protests not the recent g. twenty summit in. jamey's interior minister thomas timothy areas proposing to

attack potential why it has in the hope of preventing a repeat of the situation room as you'd be prevented from reaching demonstrations we should make them report to the police at specific times or if necessary. well the anti g. twenty rally and how beck started relatively peacefully with activists marching through the streets chanting slogans and holding banners however in evening violent confrontations erupted involving the police. well the electronic tags proposed for potential riotous can already be ordered by

the courts in certain situations they usually take the form of uncool monitors and a most commonly used on people on the cover for all those released early from prison tagging is also used in health care to help keep track of people with dementia but professor then apart south from dresden university of technology believe such measures would be completely ineffective at stopping riots ceases vamose is more symbolic in basically helpless measures announced by the government or by others in germany these are the season eruptions of violence which are due to some problems we have mystically groaning under the present law it seems not to be legal it is helpless to make changes of last which will not lead to the decider and see we have hit such tax or its long niece who lives the list got rid of thing and so this is more or less as the announcement

without any effectiveness in practice. coming back three more news after the short break. all the field we go through. every the world should be real. and you get it all the old world. according to josh. the world come on. you don't leave universal basic income when you have an economy around the world

that rewards imagination and monetizes free thought free thought free movement of capital and all those intermediary forces go out of business a lot of bankers lose their jobs a lot of politicians lose their job the nation state collapses as we know it and people are as free as their money because right now money is a lot freer than people. welcome back if a child in the austrian city of souls but again feeling posho for some poor lunch time they're going to be disappointed that it's off the menu in front it's been missing from it for five years but it's only come to light in the last week the parents filed a request with the man's office they were told the decision was made on health grounds but also to meet the needs of muslim children. parents in austria have got beef with the authorities after pork was given the chop from kindergartens has been

missing from menus for five years but now it's been spotted austrians or in this to . your thirty's claim children simply prefer chicken and carrots the dish was drab due to health reasons among other things the needs of muslim children that's one line this left the non-sweet all sour taste in parents' mouths and those polled say they now strongly oppose the decision despite the mayor's claim there's been no official decree is still news some are finding difficult to digest. well we had a reaction about this issue from christian ed now from the chamber of commerce in vienna and hamish iffi of the ramadan foundation i cannot really see a reason why the mayor of salt work is denying austrian children access to normal austrian pork dishes pork dishes are part of our culture if

somebody wants to live here actually they should respect our culture it's a treat from the far right who perpetuated this thing about muslims then outside is you know getting preferential treatment i don't support i second i'm not criticizing the mare for having a good thought you know i'm trying to be inclusive but i think you can't be inclusive if you exclude a particular community there's the one side who thinks we should proceed to a kind of for peace and strategy to accommodate muslims in europe and to make sure that the feel like at home and others who think wait wait a minute this is europe this is our country these are our countries we're not muslims we want to keep our identity so this is part of a major political conflict muslims are not alien to societies that are early to germany or france or the united kingdom or russia and anybody who tries to divide communities anybody tries to perpetuate this hatred inherent hatred that we see i think should be called off or is it's racism and xenophobia against community there

isn't the strategy of the muslims is took out call any criticism on them islamophobia and now especially left wing politicians oh mr very much afraid of of being called islamophobia of course europe austria switzerland you know we are seen an inherently anti muslim agenda and in those spaces the rights of muslims are being taken away the freedoms of muslims are being taken away and yet still we have people out there suggesting a similar muslims again preferential treatment it's. an absolute lie and should be called off. china is deploying troops to its first overseas military base in djibouti a small east african country already hosts troops from several foreign powers every so explains its strategic importance djibouti a small country in the horn of africa that often slips through the mainstream

international media's radar but this week it made it to the global spotlight and here's why two chinese navy warships left port john john on tuesday to launch beijing's first ever overseas military base in djibouti of all places in the world wide you beauty well for starters the tiny african country provides access through the red sea to the suez canal one of the busiest shipping routes in the world another key aspect of djibouti location is its proximity to potential crisis areas namely yemen where saudi arabia is fighting who the rebels in an ongoing civil war and somalia a stronghold for the al qaeda linked militant group al-shabaab so what's in it for china officially it's to boost the thousands of troops and millions of dollars beijing has poured in to assist the u.n. is peace keeping efforts in africa will be joining the two better fulfill its international obligation in somalia such as carrying out school missions and

providing humanitarian aid it will also benefit in social and economic development and enable china to make further contribution in safeguarding peace and stability in africa and the world the base also helps secure china's fast economic interests in africa with beijing investing in so many key infrastructure projects wrote the continent that is why china is joining the crowd of global powers of ready operating in djibouti washington spilt its biggest four thousand strong base on the continent as you can see marked in blue here on the map france has nine thousand eight hundred troops there six hundred japanese marines are stationed nearby and saudi arabia is also building a base in the tiny east african state. with all these different countries flexing their military muscles almost literally side by side is djibouti becoming the next playground for the world's leading powers the chinese the view that these one day if there will be a contradiction between them and united is that one day the contradiction between

them and united is it will turn into or can produce in and positioning themselves because of that that they came to deal with the united states also is pushing japan through the ottoman self and or north of mother the divine is when the solution doesn't define the full possible out of the fun also to get us for the region to militarize it's also the region but each of them thinking from their most the interest that the project the power of the project to their interest in the region . french president emmanuel mcclaren trying to wow his guest donald trump at this year's bastille day parade by getting a marching band to belt out a punchy rendition of french electro daft punk's it get lucky don't they look less than impressed.

well this behavior has sometimes triggered waves of indignation bias in the media and among the public some commentators think it may have contributed to the fall in his approval ratings yet many of his key policies are not only quite popular but also similar to those of his predecessor barack obama whose ratings at the start of his presidency sky high jacqueline's are their looks at why the two opposite if so differently according to a recent poll president trumps approval ratings are low really low but it seems that people don't so much just like him as a president as much as they just don't like him as a person sixty five percent of those who disapprove of trump said it was because of his personality while only sixteen percent objected to his policies ok trump is

undeniably a one of a kind president who has said and done some awkward things i think by saying go greatest asset any assets is by temperament oh just try to show off. i'm really rich history i'm like a smart person i think i'm much more humble than you would understand. if you compare trump to his predecessor barack obama the figures were almost the exact opposite at the beginning of obama's first term sixty five percent disliked his policies while fourteen percent didn't care for his character a large portion of america really fell in love with who he was. in my first term we ended the war in iraq. in my second term i will win the war on christmas. you pretty tough guy are you a tough guy you look like you're pretty tough and so you just gotta keep on going.

but for often being perceived as polar opposites the two actually have a number of political moves in common everyone remembers trump's controversial travel ban that affected people from seven muslim majority countries while the obama administration dene the same states as areas of concern and put travel restrictions on their citizens and some of the rhetoric we've seen from both presence is shockingly similar take their stances on america's place in the global arena. that no amount of american lives could result the political the script that lies at the heart of someone else's civil war we cannot be a policeman of the world and of course those promises to help out the average joe we're going to bring back made in the usa and we're going have a lot of jobs come back we're going to have a lot of jobs made in america hopeful trend they're bringing jobs back from overseas as for trump the analysis of that gallup poll functions off with a rather somber prognosis for him there izing that unless the president changes his

unique style his numbers will continue to plummet it seems in this case everyone is judging this book by its cover jochum book r.t. washington d.c. . final rehearsals for one of the world's top and shows have taken place just outside and here are some of the best performances from the day. some of the finest aerobatic pilots from russia more than twenty all the countries are taking part in this year's max the show will show off daredevil skills in
