small. government forces it's part of a crackdown that started two and a half months ago with security forces. police but the town itself looks more like a war zone. have been allowed inside the most of the. widespread destruction. hills patrolling the streets residents told us exclusively what's

going on in the talent but i asked us to disguise their voices as they think for their safety pole on the under fire now the shooting over to the shilling but i think it's good tours and or superstar tanks against civilians the whole operation has been going on for me ninety days now well. or the last war two groups the city has been completely empty no movement on the streets nobody's out because sure george we're actually are on duty to shoot everybody who's in the streets free hear the sound of shootings all charred i'm sure most more like a war sure are snuck she for three months in iraq or syria. i can't see it but time or so wouldn't open the one built curriculum or on two shootings bomber bruce lee audrey calls me good publicity in my

house or much more to induce now my going out a little worn out ones and don't want to do is it grow. the months long saudi crackdown on that area has resulted in the death of a six year old boy he was reportedly shot by the army months ago and now we've been told that he passed away in a hospital a doctor head of the gulf institute for human rights told us about the boy the doctor himself is a saudi dissident in prison for political reasons when he was just fourteen and that part of my family is it is and i want me and i lost some of my students and friends. in the so so do you think on the city a child was six years old was shot by the saudi special forces and he doubts that he was shot in the car is this family what had caused the now looking a deeper into the reasons behind this conflict in that region.

no that's not a war zone be daft that renovations a little do over neighborhood remodelling with guns that's seriously what the saudis a calling this the workers who are conducting renovation works to ensure the safety of the our missouri neighborhood have come into heavy terrorist find those pictures from our media town of twenty five thousand people where they are foolish enough not to like the king or his family which is the government there also shia as opposed to sunni and have resisted the authorities our media was home to many executed malcontents such as cleric. who wanted democracy

in saudi arabia bad behavior is punishable by so-called renovations soldiers plowing through your home with bulldozers or the strong it with explosives and shells security is tight but for some reason the renovators keep on being targeted by terrorists. it's just. one. time. the renovations began back in april then the un condemned what it's called forced evictions and demolition people being thrown out. out of their homes with

little or no compensation those who resist being shot at by the way in no small part the western part of canadian military vehicles are reportedly at the forefront of these saudi renovations. we are looking at these claims very seriously and have immediately launched a review remind me what did you expect would happen when you sold billions of dollars worth of arms to one of the most repressive regimes on earth profits of course dumb question saudi arabia is canada's second biggest arms buyer heck most western arms manufacturers sell all they can to riyadh weapons that eventually get turned on civilians both at home and abroad and then they feign outrage is saudi. attack and now one mean is

the largest and longest military campaign inside the country since the establishment of saudi arabia in nineteen thirty two i don't really put too much stock into no international community the united states of canada or the u.k. all of these countries have provided training weaponry assistant to to the saudi forces to the people. so i don't think the europeans and americans and canadians will do anything to support them and keep. maintaining you know the appearance of civility. marcus r.t. has reached out to several human rights organizations over the situation in that town will bring in the responses when we get. north korea says no

serious dialogue is possible with donald trump it went on to call the president a guy bereft of reason his threats are nonsense of the statement comes in response to trump's latest warning. north korea. make it even worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen. president doesn't appear willing to calm down the rhetoric firing off tweets sizing the strength of america's nuclear arsenal he said one of his host job since taking power was ordering the modernization of the country's atomic arsenal and he added the u.s. will never be overtaken as the world's superpower but some have questioned whether president trump a tough line on north korea is actually making matters worse nevertheless the state department says it's only would so although spoken in a language that needs no translation is he exacerbating the president spoke to him

to kim jong un in a language that secretary television has said and said this morning in the kind of language that kim jong un will understand have the president of the united states keep threatening to destroy north korea this is how shall i put it this is not the language of democracy is but by the way an act of war as well the north koreans either have a nuclear deterrent or they're pretending to but the only reason if they do have it the only reason they've got it is the keep themselves from being exterminated by the u.s. let's say the worst happens it could wipe out south korea it wipe out japan it could do just. to china the damage to russia i mean this is then of course all the u.s. troops in south korea would all be killed too but this is this is not anything anybody should want why is this the u.s. is why is so korea only north korea they like it why is it owned by the us

this would be such a horrific disaster it could be the worst military disaster in human history if the north koreans actually have these weapons which by the way i'm not convinced they do have them. tensions have been cranked up to new levels of the north korea announced it's considering a preemptive strike on the us overseas territory of guam which houses a major military base. previously accused washington of provocations over military drills which saw american strategic nuclear bomb goes flying over the korean peninsula with friction building in the region and the world at war is being targeted more than usual. has been gauging opinion in new york us to how big a threat people think north korea really is. with exchanges between washington d.c. n.p.r. becoming even more menacing fear is growing across the united states according to a recent poll as many as two thirds of americans possibly believe that north korea

is a serious threat we decided to talk to new yorkers and see if they could pinpoint exactly where this serious threat is coming from fueling north korea is a threat to the united states i don't think so my paranoid no but i definitely feel that north korea is a potential definite threat i think north korea is a serious threat to the region but not to the united states not scared of of north korea i'm not scared i'm scared of our leaders are in many countries and how they're behaving they're not mislead behaving in the interest of of the people fully is becoming more of a birth votto than any time you're dealing with them in a country that's led by your irrational dictator i think you need but you to pay for the worst yes pretty threatening and we responded in a threatening way gary you point to north korea on this map. there no that's that's siberia ok. there that's that's still siberia.

that's that's southeast asia that's you know that's like vietnam. there you go yeah that that's that's right. i knew that she would get it when you find north korea on this map of the world that's australia actual oh well korea. southeast asia that's cambodia that's. ok so it's here that's australia you're someone that's saudi arabia forget me i'm hopeless. around here around there yeah you're right that's that's north rim right there you go you've got it there you are like it's close somewhere furthermore it turns out there's actually a correlation between knowing where north korea is and favoring military action those who don't know where the country is are actually more likely to want to send troops right now millions of americans are convinced that north korea is out to get

them and it seems like those who are the least in the know are the ones running the most scared. r.t. new york. new york times is facing growing criticism ofter and tunnel e-mails revealed employees are allegedly encouraged government officials to leak information. those of us who live in america and even many who live abroad are bombarded with headlines such as these on a daily basis with buzzwords like leaked and highly classified information revealed with all the sensitive information making its way into our lives you might imagine reporters getting calls late at night or having kindest eye meetings with a nervous but brave soul bursting to expose the wrongs they've witnessed within the government a true hollywood hero the story of the two young reporters they stumbled into leads and piece by piece they saw the greatest detective story in american history well you might be disappointed to know that the truth might not be so cinematic or

innocent for that matter recently published email conversation reveals exactly how it's done at least by some apparently you don't have to wait for someone to leak the information to you just ask nicely i've heard a lot of second hand rumors but in order to report these incidents need to have first hand or eyewitness accounts i'm looking for examples of things like people being told not to bring phones or even take notes in meetings or any other specific first hand examples of practices that appear to demonstrate unprecedented secrecy or transparency and those in government officials have no need to worry names are not necessary while i'd like to speak to staff about these examples i don't need to quote them by name or with any sort of identifying details that could in any way reveal the source of the information perhaps that explains why none of these recent sources are named especially knowing it's not the first time the more the merrier we've already done this in a number of other stories this year below fool stories that are reported with the

help of multiple interviews with current employees making attorney general just sessions' comments to the media but they must also have some degree of accountability when it comes to leaks i don't know closer to home than expected one of the things we are doing is reviewing policies affecting media subpoenas we respect the important role that the press. plays and will give them respect but it is not unlimited so apparently any would be leakers can sit back and relax and wait for the journalists to come to them jack on the r.t. washington d.c. we emailed the times asking for comment on the article but so far haven't received any political analyst charles alltel told us that some media are increasingly becoming political activists rather than objective news gatherers went to journalists in effect colludes with members of the government bureaucracy to seek out stories that are damaging to one flank one political wing or one section of

a political party that's a lot different from speaking trouble yourself and trying to get to the real bottom of the issue it's sure looks to me like in the reporting that i saw on breitbart and also the reaction to it what you saw there were journalists trying to provoke bureaucrats into providing kernels of any information that could be used to slam a political group or figure with which they disagree and that to me i mean that you know i think you become a political action organization rather than a true journalist it's a busy day for worldwide news here on r.t. we are back in just a moment. here's

what people have been saying about rejected in the senate just below. the only show i go out of my way to. really packed a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love back to the night i'm president of the world bank so they. really seriously send us an email. telling you of the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you that so be gossiping template file. tell me you are not full enough by. all the hawks that we. will watch.

so i could have you with us today for the program he has spoken to a palestinian a father and his son who say they were brutally beaten by israeli police in east jerusalem i described at the video of the incident which most of the online. i mean the directive to hold me to open a neighbor's house without any reason i replied that this is not my house and i do not have the key to it he's still yelling at me and at the same time not the soldiers accompanying him it's a break my friends. was . no sort of money was going to come to quench me was a pleasure to her. there were five to six people they were employees of the special forces tanks me twisted my hands behind my back and began to beat me.

i am not over for it also. was not there oh never should prefer. that they beat me hold on the head then shortly twisted my right hand behind my back and started to beat it insistently so that my elbow that was french with. a beard and his fifteen year old son told us that after being beaten they were taken to the police station and held for two days however at no point did anyone explain to them why they had been detained in the first place. the first time i sent on a car and drove to the police station they kept beating and insulting as during the right station they confiscated ourselves one officer asked me to stand near a wall and smash my head against a two car fingerprints to my father the way i was kept at the station for the for the hell it had young wiley but he didn't explain why they had beaten us we didn't

see me nor my son did i think. the incident comes amid growing concern over israel's treatment of palestinians in east jerusalem human rights watch warns so the growing numbers are having their residency rights removed adding the practice may amount to war crimes and recent. cade's israel has stripped over fourteen thousand palestinians of their residency permits and more than three hundred thousand palestinians there have residency status but are not as ready nationals human rights watch says that residency guarantees civil rights to palestinians so when the permits are revoked they are forced to leave their homes and work crime in question is the forcible deportation of the occupied of the protected population. is part of the occupy territory here we're not talking about people forced to leave their home at that point to we're talking about policies that in fact forced people

to leave. despite concerns from rights groups israel gives a number of justifications for its actions authorities say residents here right so usually removed when jerusalem is no longer people's main place of residency however in recent years palestinians have also been stripped of their rights for attacking israelis and also as punishment against relatives of suspected attackers . they are stripped of their residency they are therefore they can no longer work legally there are social benefits insurance medical insurance retirement plans are in jeopardy they can't marry and have their spouse settle down so all of these things motivate people to if you will sell to or if you're not physically kicked out and we deemed that is kind of policy that forces people to stop the amounts to the same war crime this never happens to citizens of israel specifically jewish

citizens who don't face this this risk of losing their right to reside in the city in which they were born and grew up so this is part of this policy. israel declares they are the city of jerusalem should be a united city but it's in practice not united at all there is to policies for the two peoples we asked israel's interior ministry to comment on the human rights watch report we'll let you know as soon as we get a response. locals in the northern italian city of ventimiglia have been making their feelings clear of a plans for a new refugee shelter for unaccompanied minors hundreds gathered outside the city hall to challenge a proposal to house more than twenty under-age migrants locals say the influx of refugees in the country is just getting out of hand and many of those making the journey from northern africa they head to italy in the hope of traveling on to other parts of europe but since the partial closure of

a nearby border crossing fears have emerged but a camp like the cal a jungle in france could now spring up. we can't take it any more invaded and we have no more freedom to go around living in our town she does know now our town anymore is just a huge refugee shelter and it's done with our tax money the government imposes and we pay our constitution talks about the people sovereignty where is this sovereignty where is a state has to listen to us starting with the mayor but no one will listen to us. chant that i'm a shop owner and tourism invents a miller is not looking good basically is no tourism anymore and everyone is working less and less and i know that today's demonstration could backfire because it will give the town even more bad publicity but we really want all of this to be over in light of the backlash local authorities have agreed to temporarily suspend plans for the refugee shelter but a former member of the european council on refugees believes small cities such as

ventimiglia shouldn't be left to fend for themselves as a result of the e.u. in action. tragedy for the refugees because nobody wants them in their backyard anymore and that's true throughout europe and we see the disgraceful derogation of any kind of humanitarian obligation to help people fleeing from most spots in the world that we see on our television every day like syria and south side but also i have enormous sympathy for the people of vented media nobody in a quiet peaceful and touristic town wants to see suddenly thousands of foreigners descending upon them and in their view making their streets their safe or whatever of sympathy with the italians but you know really the the per the organization that i'm afraid is most of the fault here is the european union itself it has failed a lie except only as strong as its member states and if

a member states don't want to tango than the european union can dance at all but it . has been a whole series of broken commitments of undertakings to try to spread this load of refugee coming into europe through certain countries in particular that's where there are the c. external borders of europe are closest to and there has been really no serious commitment or of continuing commitment to spread this burden. and san francisco people living on one affluent street or recently discovered cost they don't own it anymore here's how it happened.

mismanagement by the family tax authorities this should never happen the syndicalists i mean probably the world is laughing at simpson. i heard that you know there is a tax to follow i charge now dishonest i wasn't here i was not virgin are in spain for years and years and years so i would have to sell and nobody noticed the name. of my state. more news in half an hour. it's.

welcome to our already. back let's look at. what holds a cinch to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you want to be

prosperous like them before three of them or ten people that i'm interested in always in the waters of my. city. greetings and sal you taishan it's august ninth has become an important date in the people's history of the united states my hawk watchers because three years ago in

august ninth teenager michael brown jr was tragically shot and killed in the streets by then ferguson missouri police officer darren wilson and the humid dog days of the summer of two thousand and fourteen brown's murder in the dubious actions of ferguson city officials and its aftermath was just the match to gasoline the broad longstanding racial tensions between law enforcement and black communities across the united states back into the headlines. killing in the violent militarized police response to the protests over his death helped lead to the exponential rise of the black lives matter movement who originally came into being after the death of trayvon martin at the hands of george zimmerman who like officer wilson was never actually held accountable for committing any crime despite having the death of a young black man on his hands after brown's death we saw the violent police killings of twelve year old tamir rice in cleveland walter scott and some.
