welcome to the news at the top of the hour line from r.t. in moscow i'm kate. 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 warning you may find some of the following images disturbing the video we're showing you right now ends with soldiers throwing a suspected she harness off an embankment the soldiers then 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 to use to verify the images taken in the videos with satellite imagery to show that they are fact around the areas of mosul 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 visual executions by iraqi security forces both federal police forces as well as a particular vocalization 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 blamed the u.s. led coalition for thousands of civilian deaths chairing the battle for mosul it said the coalition's actions may amount to well crimes and u.s. state department spokesperson was grilled on this issue on thursday. 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 instructions when amnesty or another

human rights group group comes out with a report on a country that you don't like if they like north korea or syria you're and they don't consult those governments when they do this or of course 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 up with a report that is i think 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've been over this now we have repeatedly raised our concerns with the u.s. government in the joint compound operations and for 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 investigate these particular reveals just that they promised to investigate prior videos showing severe abuses by iraqi government forces pledge to date we have never see iraq a 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 the use of pincers to an international tribunals 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. with islamic state losing ground in both iraq and syria it's not only foreign fighters who have been fleeing the former strongholds

but also women who became the wives of the terrorists here's the second part of that testimony is about what life is like in slight eisel the first part is on our website 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 and it was absolutely disgusting to be there one woman had contractions so she went to the chief and said that the woman was bleeding knocking at 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 walked by 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 fifty thirty thousand some girls managed to escape to rock those who helped them were killed. 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 bought a ticket if in fact i knew what i saw was like i would never have gone and joined my husband there. the hey i know my husband and i made a huge mistake when we came here. and thank goodness. the majority of americans now view north korea as the greatest threat to u.s.

national security even more than islamic state that's according to a new poll comes after pyongyang's latest ballistic missile test. could 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 get 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 about the relationship between bin and china russia korea why do you think korea is a threat. well it's pretty obvious they want to destroy they have a very. hostile dictator is very offensive towards united states that is to the whole thing without a warm beer as they have the missile and they 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 are we 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 amman and thread i think that they can start something however that can spy caught 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 there undertook to build 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 in a 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 is hyping threats about north korea it's a big time big time i mean i mean i just i think that it's so it's it's fear mongering you sit down and you watch fox news i miss embassy they were there they'd be all it's 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 they will mop and r.t. new york. well i should look at whether north korea's nuclear program really is as dangerous as the media seems to make out north korea claims it has a number of nuclear warheads estimated to be ten but pyongyang doesn't yet have any sas capable of sending a warhead over a launch distance the furthest they've landed a test missile is nine hundred thirty kilometers which falls well short of reaching the u.s. this all means that in effect north korea has no active strategic nuclear forces investigative journalist tim shorrock believes the media is scaremongering the

united states public has been has been subject to a massive propaganda campaign 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's aiming is building weapons in an offensive way and this is trying 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 explain to people you know how we got here what the role the united states has been in this crisis what can be done to get out of it it's all just. violent protests march the recent g. twenty summit in hamburg and now germany's interior minister thomas de mizzy air is proposing to attack potential rises in the hope of preventing

a repeat of the situation room as you'd be prevented from reaching demonstrations we should make them repeat to the police at specific times or if necessary. only on t g twenty rally in hamburg started relatively peacefully with activists marching through the streets chanting slogans and holding banners however in the evening violent confrontations erupted involving the police. it. will be electronic tags proposed for potential rioters can already be ordered by the courts in certain situations they usually take the form of ankle monitors and

the most commonly used on people under curfew or those released early from prison tithings also used in health care to help keep track of people with dementia but professor bonaparte celt dressed in university of technology believes such measures would be completely ineffective at stopping riots ceases vamose is more symbolic 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 shelterless to make changes of last week not leads to the decider and see we have hit such tax or its long niece who lives the list got rid of then so this is more or less as the announcement without any effectiveness in practice. turkey has begun week long

commemorations for the failed coup that took place exactly one year ago in these live pictures you can see thousands of people marching from a two hundred in stone boat to the iconic lotus bridge. the bloodiest cure attempt in its history of a two hundred fifty were killed more than two thousand injured elements of the military launched up. aeration zenaida's searches to try to topple the governments with soldiers and tanks on the streets of istanbul they were met by counter protesters and loyal soldiers even. the case of. now austrians on divided off to pull taken off school menus more on that story off the short break. in case you're new to the game this is how it works in the economy is built around quite. corporations from washington to washington to meet. the.

voters elect a businessman to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. 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 free is their money because right now money is a lot freer than people. welcome

back if a child in the austrian city of salzburg is feeling posh office and pool at lunchtime but i'm too disappointed as it's off the menu in fact it's been missing from it for five years but it's only come to light in the last week of the parents father request with the mayor'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 off to pork was given the chop from kid to goldens it's been missing for menus for five years but now it's been spotted all strains are in a stew over it the authorities claim children simply prefer chicken and carrots but that's one line that's left a norm 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 new some of finding difficult to digest. well we had reaction about this issue from christian ebner from the chamber of commerce in vienna and mohammed shift the ramadan foundation i cannot really see a reason why the mayor of of salts 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 trick from the far right who perpetuated this thing about muslims the an outside is you know getting preferential treatment i don't support i second you know i'm not criticizing the mayor 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 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 you're a 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 it should be called off for what it is. china is deploying troops to its first overseas military base in djibouti a small east african country already hosts troops from several foreign powers and may sue 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 a u.n. peacekeeping efforts in africa will be joining a two bit of fulfill its international obligation in somalia such as carrying out its 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 news one do you have there will be. big soon between them and united is there one be the one producing between them and you go to the root of the two oakland produce in pollution in them so that the victim to deal with the united states all clues japan will be out of the soap and or normally the divine is with bruce and doesn't promote the little bob. also did then beautiful village in a minute that i was told but you told did of thinking from there most of the people

who do the power of the project of their interest in the region. french president emanuel mark kleiman trying to wow his guest donald trump in this year's bastille day parade he got a marching band to belt out a punchy rendition of french electro punks hit get lucky donald though not less than impressed. the only. way we. were. were were. were her own. well tom's behavior has sometimes triggered waves of indignation and bias in the

media and among the public and some commentators think it may have contributed to the fall in his approval ratings yet many of his key policies are not only popular but also similar to those a pretty decisive barack obama is ratings at the start of his presidency were sky high. looks at why the two office seats so differently. according to a recent poll president trump's 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 single greatest asset of any assets i have is by temperament you know just try to show you . i'm really rich straight i'm like a smart person i think i'm much more humble than you would understand. if you compare term 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 and so you just got to keep on going. but for often being perceived as polar opposites the two actually have a number of political moves in common our own members trumps controversial travel ban that affected people from seven muslim majority countries while the obama administration deemed 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 goes out of american lives could result the political just remember 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 u.s. 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 end shows have taken place just outside moscow and here are some of the best performances of the day.

my skies are and this is going to be our first little summer solutions here the guys report it's all about the solutions as they say many people started twenty zero one seven twenty seventeen with what they thought was their solution to the problem of america not being so great again so that is kind of the whole theme of our summer solutions series is how to make america great again is kind of because as the us empire as well i mean it is kind of neal liberalism and globalism under this u.s. superpower so it will extend out to other places in on its own to make america great again it means we've got to get rid of the old in with the new there's the millennial generation they're ready to.
