and the netflix t.v. series sparks controversy after it's linked to a rise in online searches for methods of suicide we speak to a father who says his teenage daughter took her own life after watching the show. i think that there are ways that it can be done that a positive note but never in a way that betrays it is such a dork. desperate situation my daughter should be allowed to i should be able to hold her in my arms you should be able to care for her. you're watching r.t. international live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. the suicide bomber has targeted a nato military convoy in the afghan city of kandahar the nato led mission in afghanistan has confirmed the attack in a statement the document says it resulted in casualties

a car full of explosives was driven into the convoy outside kandahar airport which is home to a major military base for international troops no information has been released so far as to the nationality of the troops attacked or the number of casualties. well in a recent report the u.s. government's afghanistan watched on the warns that the security situation in the country is deteriorating with armed clashes between afghan forces and taliban militants it also points out a recent rise in high profile attacks committed by the insurgents the document cites figures released by the united states secretary general in june this year all the same watchdog has urged the pentagon to declassify reports detailing allegations of child sexual abuse by afghan forces. the report was concerned the legations of sexual abuse of children by members of the afghan security forces because d.o.d. has classified much of the information on which the sego report is based the report is closely for its seger has requested that there would be declassify the reports.

well the watchdogs report generally concerns u.s. funding in afghanistan and whether forces receiving the money comply with human rights laws it details with how the u.s. military and state department are implementing the so hold lehua law this prohibits the government from providing aid to another nation's security forces if there is credible information that human rights have been violated while the watchdog also cites the state department is saying that the afghan government has failed to meet human rights standards also that afghan officials are complicit in the sexual abuse of children by afghan security forces. well the u.s. government is accused of turning a blind eye to one afghan custom in particular known as. this involves the sexual abuse of young adolescent boys and has been illegal in afghanistan since the start of this year. rule.

if you are going to say. that they need to. leave. with me but if you go to see six those in the. us so i was there. this is something that's there. not the first time such allegations of afghan soldiers were raping young boys have surfaced back in two thousand and fourteen human rights groups claimed abusers were often paying bribes to hide their crimes and in two thousand and fifteen reports surfaced that american military personnel were being told to look the other way in order to maintain good relations with afghan units allegations of child sexual abuse by afghan military or police personnel would be a matter of domestic afghan criminal law there would be no express requirements

that u.s. military personnel in afghanistan report it one possible explanation is the leahy law process through which u.s. government that's foreign security forces as well as defense training programs to ensure recipients have not committed human rights abuses in other words break human rights laws and there's no more money and that could prove tricky in afghanistan where over the last fifteen years washington's pumped in over seven hundred billion dollars and they're not planning to stop any time soon twenty seventeen is going to be another tough year for the value of afghan security forces and the international troops moved good and will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder i do believe it will involve. additional forces to ensure that we can. make the advise and assist mission more more effective a presence yet to define his afghan policy many hope human rights will trump war. r t washington d.c. we've discussed the issue with a number of experts they told us that by keeping the report classified the

information is effectively being protected. what we're saying is various abuses various things sometimes just even the lack of success that the united states has inside of afghanistan is something they did american people don't see i think the american people just turned away crime is perpetuated if you don't cover it if you don't address those issues it's simply expands the potential for more crimes to be conducted against people and frankly when you see this happen when you see people being abused in theaters around the world and the americans are involved at least in the theater it provides the perception that the americans are responsible for it obviously because it would be embarrass the afghan government. you know this is a great respect for the u.s. government office that the distribution. story was covering up nobody

want to deal with the afghan government doesn't want the u.s. doesn't want people to be all rules to do these. crimes. the u.s. has successfully launched an all and intercontinental ballistic missile into the pacific it's the second test in less than a week and comes amid rising tensions between america and north korea and u.s. senator lindsey graham has said president champ is ready to go to war with p.r. however there are mixed signals coming from washington with secretary of state rex tillerson saying the u.s. is not north korea's enemy every military expert says there is no good military option they're wrong there is what it would take to destroy north korea's program in north korea itself he's not going to president the ability of this madman to have a missile that hit america if there's going to be a ward of stop and it will be over there thousands die they're going to die over there and they're not going to die here in these told me that my face may be

provocative but i really do not shake. regime change we do not see the collapse of the regime we do not seek an accelerated reunification of the peninsula we do not seek an excuse to send our military north of the thirty eighth parallel and we're trying to convey to the north koreans we are not your enemy we're not your threat well to discuss this further what our guest is now joins me in the studio long run can you tell us what's going on well as i see it one of two things either the folks in washington are very smart or very confused the trumpet ministration hasn't been you know known for its predictability for having a long term plan and suddenly anything is possible with it on the other hand. maybe sending a message on behalf of donald trump to the north koreans saying that you know we're willing to let millions of people die in the war to stop you for being able to

target the united states with nuclear missiles and he says that all options are on the table and that perhaps if nothing changes the war is inevitable and time is taking. are you saying it's ok to use a military option that immediately endangers the lives of millions of people in that region. but a ball unless north korea changes. make no mistake they know that millions of people could be killed in potentially you know as little as twenty four hours according to some situ or according to some simulations donald trump has all the plans the military plans on his table a contingency plans made up by the by the pentagon just you know just in case it's their job but here we've got to consider that donald trump has promised to deal with the north korean issue lindsey graham says that it's been kicked down they've been kicking the can down the road for twenty years and now they're at

a point where they've got to take action where they've got to do something and they're letting the north koreans know that these millions of lives that they're talking about it's a price they're willing to pay. are going to be able to handle it will be it will be handled we handle everything. now no one is insane on either side the united states knows that this will be a bloodbath if indeed a conflict starts on the korean peninsula the north koreans know that they will be annihilated and it is in the interests of both sides to you know squeeze all the cat out of diplomacy out of the goo she ations perhaps make certain sacrifice here and there when the time is right which it apparently hasn't been yet but as the united states says as the washington says the white house they're open to any solution to resolve this standoff. see whether or not that happens.

obviously has been very outspoken about how he feels about north korea weighing all options keeping all options on the table and as we've said many times before we're not going to broadcast what we're going to do and tell that happens. and as part of that the united states has been building up forces. on the south korean in south korea on the north korean peninsula around that they've been sending jets they've been sending even more troops and to. shield systems as well as as well as you know ratcheting up the rhetoric they're letting the north koreans know that they are not going to stand by as north korea develops intercontinental ballistic missiles which would be capable of targeting mainland united states in times where i guess dave thank you very much indeed thank you want to discuss this

even further we can now cross live to international relations expert vic to go over to thank you very much indeed for joining us well do you think that senator graham might be right that the u.s. is ready to go to war with north korea. but i think the senator is sending very wrong message. d p r k to all the other cultures in this part of the world because at this very critical moment the war mongering any threat of use of war as a means to kill that save millions of people is a very big mistake and it's time to morrow and to walk right if i may say so and i think that the united states really need to calm down and to pick up its acts and devolved to the most effective way that is joint efforts of the diplomatic in devore to achieve free denuclearize asian on the korean peninsula warmongering is the wrong thing to do only is the wrong thing to say at this particular moment why

is it you think that donald trump might be ready to resort to such aggressive measures i mean what do you think the either he what the u.s. has to gain by going to war. i don't think the united states will be able to gain any scene if they launch a war against the d.p. r. k. at this particular moment mainly because a war will move into a period of great uncertainty and whatever that will come out of the war maybe even worse then whatever exists right now i think at this moment the most important thing is still to get united them or all the other countries and devote ourselves to peace and diplomacy and dialogue war eventually it will indeed to result in tens of thousands if not millions of loss of life and that will be a catastrophe which is free and we do not want to see the loss of life on the

korean peninsula i the e.p. r.-k. of the republic of korea we do not want to see loss of chinese life with russian lives or loss of american lives based in our old cheney and therefore i see it is time for rationality to prove it will it is time for diplomacy and dialogue to prevail it is time to stop those people in the united states of talking about war clearly millions of people on the korean peninsula. ok holly leave it there thank you very much indeed here's our international relations expert thank you. thank you. the man suspected of a deadly knife attack in hamburg on friday could have been deported years ago if they all thought has happened failed to act that's according to the german media which claims belin missed a deadline to return him to norway the country where he first applied for asylum we contacted germany's migration office for an explanation. in the case of

a the federal offices read mission requests to no wait was made on fourteenth of july two thousand fifteen one day after the deadline norway rejected the federal offices read mission request meaning that germany became responsible for this solemn procedure this happens at a time when increased number of asylum seekers had already arrived in germany and the federal office placed enormous challenges. peter oliver joins us live now with more on the story well peter can you explain how this person was able to slip through the cracks of security and get to this stage of an attack. well we're starting to unravel what is then a tangled web of of mistakes bureaucratic mistakes that led to made a the main suspect in friday spate of stopping even being here in germany we know that the arrived in germany back in twenty fifteen he had no identification and was clearly according to authorities suffering from mental illness or mental problems

he couldn't be deported at that point back to norway his fingerprints were checked they revealed who he was that he'd applied for asylum in norway that he'd been rejected but germany waited until after the deadline for him to be sent back to norway to finding out that he had failed a previous application in norway would have me should have meant he could have been sent back immediately he wasn't he missed that deadline and norway effectively said he's your problem right now the federal migration authorities they've said they were overwhelmed by the numbers at that time they talk about enormous challenges facing the service but what it meant was that the twenty six year old was still here in germany up until well still here in germany and able to carry out this horrific attack on a friday afternoon in a supermarket in hamburg he took a or it's he's the main suspect the only suspect in taking

a knife from the display in the supermarket removing the packaging and then launching a brutal attack against a fifty year old man who died at the scene seven of the people were wounded as well but what we're also hearing from the federal prosecutors is in the time he was here in germany was able to self radicalized that he did tended on dying as a martyr in that attack and it's raising a lot of questions over the of the regulations placed on migrants and knowing just who is where and who has the responsibility to deal with whom. and wearing us makes their peace want to thank you very much indeed and i'll be back with more news after the break. you can't import healthcare from china it's all very local. cases

of price gouging by monopolists in america and as a result people's health is declining life expectancy is falling childbirth deaths increasing because of these banal pleas and a lack of competition. all the food we go through. every the world do you really believe that you can get it on the you will. according to just. come in for the.

welcome back a new study has warned that online searches for methods of suicide have spite following the release of the netflix series thirteen reasons why the controversial show tells a story of a girl who commits suicide and has generated concern among parents sounds like ologists in several countries in new zealand a special rating was applied to prevent people under eighteen from watching the internet series alone while in austria two schoolgirls trying to kill themselves but the teachers managed to stop them at the last minute report suggests that the suicide attempts were inspired by thirteen reasons why. hey it's hannah. hannah baker. settling because i'm about to tell you the story of my life. more specifically why my life ended. and if you're listening to this tape. you're one of the reasons why well in the u.s.

two families blame the serious for driving their children to suicide we spoke to the father of a girl who hanged herself just before his sixteenth birthday he says his daughter suffered from depression and the netflix show pushed her over the edge the show acted. like there's a word in psychology it's called a trigger that means that you react to something by her meds and it triggers a response with you that left my daughter. feeling worse than she had before this is not the way it's supposed to be my daughter should be alive today i should be able to hold her in my arms should be able to care for her i should be able to hear her laugh but now i can't she's just gone she's gone from me forever caleb maupin is a new york gauges reaction to the recent study on the impact of the netflix series . nineteen days after the program was released google searches for suicide related

topics increased by more than twenty percent that means roughly nine hundred thousand to one point five million more than usual from phrases like suicide hotline or teen suicide or more worrying phrases like how to kill yourself all of them are on the rise i've seen multiple psychiatric admission knows that it detailed the presenting problem of why the teen is is there being one a couple of times them saying that they wanted to kill themselves in the way that the girl from thirteen reasons why did suicide prevention experts are warning that the show is kind of romanticizing suicide and unhealthy relationships all of which could lead to copycat behavior among teenagers or teenagers who in general are still developing the ability to regulate their emotions and their desires for those teens and especially those who have already perhaps contemplated suicide a series like thirteen reasons why can be problematic let's ask people how

concerned they are are you a parent yes i am a part would you allow your son or daughter to watch this this new program with a company of apartments where you know if you put something to somebody's head and they already had that thought it might be encouraging but you can't control what people are going to do they might hear it on the street they might hear it in school you know that you never know i mean just because they hear from you doesn't mean it's your fault if you were a parent would you allow your child your children to watch that show louie i would absolutely because i want them to experience well life is all about the ups the downs the ugly the good all records should show that i reckon that people should be able to handle those types of the experience to be honest ok are you a parent. now if you were a parent do you think you would allow your son or daughter to watch that show or have a different view if i was a parent the producers of these shows need to be socially and ethically responsible for what they're putting out and. at bare minimum that means that for if it's

netflix for example before and after each episode in the series they need to put in places for where they can get help such as the suicide prevention lifeline they need to be doing that at a bare minimum so that if a child vulnerable child gets triggered during the episode that they know where they can go to turn for help now netflix says they welcome more research as they prepare the next season but parents are asking themselves is there really enough of a reason that we would want our children to be exposed to such shows. artsy new york. on a scale of mention netflix responded to us about the study's findings and also told us that the show was intended to promote discussion of a difficult subject however the father we spoke to told us there are other ways to highlight the sensitive issue i think that there are ways to show it i think that there are ways that that it can be done that a positive note but never in a way that was. like this never in a way that retreat it is such

a dark and desperate situation the fact is that netflix does not care what the medical profession has to say they don't care what educators have to say they don't even care what parents have to say on netflix cares about is making money from this show is not acceptable and this needs to stop. we still have a voice as consumers or just as citizens we have this we do have power to make change. concerns over police brutality in the u.s. flared up again after a video emerged of officers in tennessee repeatedly tasering a teenage inmate in a restraining chair or warning you may find the following images disturbing the incident was caught by surveillance camera and made his tail said several times despite being restrained and gagged he was also reportedly on suicide watch the

teenager was jailed after being arrested on drugs and weapons charges last year while after initially insisting that the officers had to stay on the teenager the local sheriff has now agreed to conduct an investigation three deputies have been suspended but one anti brutality activist told us that most cases of abuse in u.s. prisons tend to go unreported and people end up in the jail who've been brutalized and then that brutality continues in the jails and into the prisons it's kind of like a whole system from beginning to end that is dominated by brutality and the only issue is that in the prisons of the jails we it's not as visible we can't see it as well and so we don't typically get access to these types of videos jailers have enormous power the head jailer which is the sheriff in this case has to be a vailable watching his staff at all times he has to be monitoring their conduct because you know people with absolute power abuse it absolutely and so it's really he the that the sheriff is saying that he wasn't even knowledgeable about what his

own staff was doing i think it's reprehensible he should resign. back at the top of the hour with more news to get. it's. what politicians do such as an addict who put themselves on the lot to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what it looks like the spectrum or can't be good . i'm interested falls in the waters and look out. for certain. something seemed wrong when old clothes just don't all. get

to shape out just. to educate and in. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

greetings and salutations you know sometimes when you're when you're paying attention to the world around you life has this very curious way of dropping little warning signs of an impending doom sitting just around the corner if you don't radically alter your current plans like being off for a ride from a friend or just drop the tab acid on three tequila shots or are finding that lace bedding spray in someone's bathroom. that's life telling you that you probably shouldn't take that riders spend the night there yet another example for those of us who've been following world events lately are headlines like this one from the wall street journal pentagon authors plan to arm ukraine yes apparently now that we allegedly moved on from arming the rebels in syria because we know how well that all turned out the u.s. is now it's going to pour a few weapons and explosives and to ukraine according to the wall street journal american military officials and diplomats say the arms which they characterized as

defensive are meant to deter aggressive actions by moscow u.s. officials say they worry that the conflict has intensified with a rising number of cease fire violations as progress on peace efforts has paul turd . because yes yes nothing d. intensifies the conflict and brings peace to a region faster than a good influx of arms. i think we all can remember i mean look we know it all worked out so well and be acknowledged in the early sixty's or afghanistan in the 1980's or syria today arms in places that are a little bit warry. it works so well i wonder if the state department pentagon also believe that pouring gasoline on the campfire is the best way to prevent forest fires yes my friends this is the backward logic that is your pentagon and state department.
