the fact the perpetrators were from predominantly asian backgrounds matters. for a good evening to you my name is neil harvey you're watching international. children are already being recognized thanks to all special campaign to find relatives of orphans in war torn iraq now we have been receiving calls and e-mails from people who think they know the children film to the north our crew on the screen now you can see the e-mail address where you can get in touch with us if you have any information. now these russian speaking children i'm talking about had reportedly been taken to the country by their parents who then enjoying the islamic state after we filmed them in baghdad we posted the footage on our social media pages is also shared by the head of russia's chechen republic ramzan kadyrov as

a result and in take long to get quite an overwhelming response here you can see to some of the comments that we have posted online one woman called how did you out contacted us from going to stun our crew went there to speak to her. was . was. on the job thinks that the boy in the video is her nephew ali she contacted us and centers the following photograph aunties and i guess they have reports now from dagestan where he's trying to find relatives of other children a number of families of contact that r.t. claiming that among the children we filmed that that baghdad orphanage they recognize their loved ones their relatives among them is one woman who claims that

little leave her nephew she sent a picture and while this isn't definitive proof the resemblance is certainly shreiking she says that parents his mother and his father packed up one day and left claiming that they were going to more scope for work and taking the family they took the kids only to call later and say that they were in istanbul in turkey that was a while ago after that they are presumed to have crossed the border either into syria or into iraq and joined isis could you know you were you you when. when. you later mother called the family from

iraq she said that her husband father had been killed in fighting and that she was now alone with the children she also had a newborn to take care of she sent a picture you can see the isis flag in the top right corner nobody has heard from her since that was ten months ago but her relatives say hope dies last. we'll give you do what. you didn't. hear nationally. it'll be you know. they are. children.

there are potentially hundreds of children with russian origins in iraq's orphanages the children of isis fighters living together with the children of isis victims life for them there isn't going to be easy with that sort of stigma which is why our team has decided to help where meeting with a number of families here in dagestan relatives who claim to have recognized the children in those orphanages in order to reunite as many of these orphans with their families as possible. all three of the children could seem. be reunited with their families if everything goes well we can show you a picture now of some time more around on the right. just next to the boy from the video we got this photo from his aunt and his story strikingly similar to ali's father's a big said to being killed the last time soon turns mother made contact with the

family was about ten months ago and then we have these two girls who might well turn out to be sister is hardly john fatima we were given this picture from one of the distant relatives told the mother and father fled to turkey along with the children around two years ago reportedly to join ice on their relatives then lost contact with the family. and if you have any information you think might be relevant please feel free to get in contact with us at the e-mail address shown below we're still searching for more children who became orphans in iraq and trying to find their relatives back home. u.s. weapons are locked and loaded stun trump has tweeted in his latest warning to north korea this is after the president refused to back down on his threat to bring fire and fury to pyongyang samit global calls for deescalation ninety's jacqueline

bouvier reports from washington. when his comments of threatening fire and fury against north korea were called into question trump hit back saying maybe they in fact weren't tough enough frankly the people that would question that statement was too tough maybe it wasn't tough enough to want to. make it he would threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never seen now when asked what could be tougher than fire and fury truncate the sinister response of and you'll see leaving everyone frightened that physical action could be the next step in this war of words trump also one p.r. nyang that they be sorry if they even considered attacking the u.s. or any of its allies if. north korea does anything in terms of even thinking about attack. of anybody that we love what we represent do our allies or us

they can be very very nervous i'll tell you what they should be very dubious because things will happen to them like they never thought possible north korea better get their act together where they're going to be in trouble like few nations ever have been in trouble now such statements as these coming from the president have been slammed by a number of american senators who see them as reckless causing significantly more harm than good president trump is not helping the situation with he's been best to comments we need to be firm and deliberate with north korea but reckless rhetoric is not a strategy to keep america safe. i think it was just the wrong message and elevated the situation rather than showing the international community that there is hope for a diplomatic solution unfortunately it is unlikely that those words or fact trumps rhetoric however meaning the possibility of a democratic resolution is slipping away seemingly pushing the world closer and

closer to the edge of war. career in turn slammed donald trump comments as being nonsense then went on to say that no serious dialogue could be possible with the u.s. president who it describes as a guide bereft of reason earlier pyongyang claimed that it was preparing plans to fire four missiles into the u.s. pacific territory of guam spoke to a former u.s. ambassador to the united nations he says such threats put trump on the same level as north korea's leader. i don't see the plus in these threats were we getting something in return from these president's threats i don't see it i've never seen that tension so high in the korean peninsula i'm extremely concerned i hope the president's advisors rein him in general kelly you know the new chief of staff he's got to tell the president you can't conduct foreign policy the way you're doing with words with fiery words exchanges stooping to the level of camp gentleman in the north koreans who generate this rhetoric almost every day but this rhetoric has

gotten a lot more intense also from the north korean side and russia's foreign minister has just said that the risk of the u.s. north korea tensions actually turning into war is high correspondingly patrik has more sergey lavrov has said that nothing can be decided through war and that in the case of north korea a potential military conflict can be enormously dangerous you should. think that the risks of very high especially considering the writs rick there are direct threats of fools with us six to difference matus once again stating that they'd be a huge number of casualties i think when a foot is brewing with from that they should be taken by the stronger and small to . the russian foreign minister here was referring to the statements by the u.s. secretary of defense just to remind you we heard mr mattis warning pyongyang

against the actions that could quote lead to the destruction of its people so it was a part of a warning get he still said these words out loud at the struction of a nation so things are getting asked serious as they can ever get now in the meantime some of america's main allies in europe the likes of the u.k. and germany they're calling on the american president to the escalate. the tensions in agel merkel once again stressed the urgent importance of a diplomatic solution in this conflict. the escalation birthrate certainly doesn't solve the problem i don't see the solution to the conflict right now and i don't think the escalation and read three different approach so we may read into donald trump's tweets as many times as we want but we cannot still say for sure what is definitely on his mind the question is right now which voices will affect his

decision making most and perhaps doubt well we'll find out very very soon china being while has condemned fire and fury at remarks beijing warned the u.s. president again playing with fire over north korea and it said that any accidental spark could trigger conflict or small chinese state media reports the country will protect the north korean regime if the u.s. decides to strike first. and the possibility of military competition is causing a splits among america's allies in the pacific region australia says it will stand shoulder to shoulder with washington but you zealand said it's not ready to support any aggressive military action we stand shoulder to shoulder with the united states the ads the street the mains that if america has attacked we will come to their right if a stranger is attacked the americans will come to our right we are joined at the hip the american alliance is the bedrock of our national security committed to i'm

aggressive response now while encouraging all involved to avoid escalation is not a position we want to take it's doubled from webster university in geneva says the full scale conflict between washington and pyongyang is unlikely although some aggression is possible i think that it would be better in everybody's interest to deescalate everything and but as we've seen before sometimes the american president trump tries to skeer or people that are listening to him through his rhetoric but sometimes that's an unfortunate way to function in the international system i do think we have a possibility that there could be violence i mean all out war i think would be foolish on any side and as you've heard from the chinese side that they might even become involved in something like that and i don't think anybody wants that right now but i do think is that there is the potential of not full scale war but

aggression. turn of phrase when it comes to north korea hasn't gone unnoticed on social media with twitty uses getting the impression that the president is becoming more like a character from a popular t.v. series which one caliber weapon explains. when donald trump threaten north korea with fire and fury everyone online apparently had the same thought game of thrones . they will be met with five years of. life the world has never seen. now arguably the only other world leader whose tirade sound as much like a fantasy villains is kim jong un so we decided to go out and give americans on the street a little quiz we'll give them the quote and they tell us was it trumped was it kim jong un or was it game of thrones the days are gone forever when our enemies could blackmail us game with their own game of thrones. game of thrones out.

donald trump game of thrones that's kim jong un ok all right. i tried you know as many people as i can you never know which one you'll need. non-neutral also donald trump donald trump donald trump game of thrones you're correct that is game of yes ok all right our military will be given the resources that it's brave warriors richly deserve. from them game of thrones. donald trump you're right that's donald trump i will not allow the mistakes of the recent decades to define the course of our future. then john i'm game of thrones donald trump donald trump i'm just going to go with donald trump again that's correct and you're right you're right we can keep any cesspool of evils in the earth including them within our striking range game if their own. game with their

own skin can join on its correct your enemies steals and murders your children. kim jong un donald trump be. name of thrones game of thrones coming true that's game of thrones. seventeen men and one woman belonging to a six grooming gang have been prosecuted and you know in talking to and this is after years of committing child tripe and trafficking the guy knew that underage girls with drugs and alcohol. police say almost five hundred people were arrested after two hundred seventy eight victims testified all but one of the convicted gang members was of asian origin a british m.p. sarah champion from the labor party has claimed that people are afraid to acknowledge the racial aspect of the story because she thinks they're worried about being deemed racist we discussed the issue with our guest who didn't see eye to eye . i'm offended at the fact that the term asian is continuously used because on

my scale and it may not be every single case but none of my scale these men are muslim and that's the thing that when people are afraid of say it isn't that people are afraid to say the word asian they are afraid of saying the word morsi your right when you say that eighty percent of crimes committed there are paid a failure rate white people this is still a majority of white country but when you look that muslims are according to statistics five percent of the population and then that the statistics of how many are carrying out these these heinous acts against but don't want girls there is the racism the racism is towards the white girls asian people and muslim people are not excessively outside of statistical significance disproportionately represented when you look at the country as a whole now in places where there's where there's a lot of asians slash muslims i agree there is a lot of likewise people who are from this background are committing certain crimes and we have to address that but trying to forge

a mystical link between islam all the brownness all muslim s. and these types of crimes is only diverting attention away from where it needs to go to actually to actually. see this all where there is already. you can't solve this with science first of all are and i am not a scientist so blinded me with science is pointless anyway i come at this from somebody who is a survivor of gang rape i know what right does to a person and supporter i give these girls a gone through being targeted by muslim men who are passed on from one cause brothers cousins down fortunately is a silent state they face then it does not mean that all muslims do it it does not mean that the muslim community justified but it does mean it is happening herein lies the importance to distinguish between a stereotype based on one person's opinion and one person's. experience however

tragic incident may be and statistical significance if we don't actually look to the facts as they are we don't actually refer to experts don't actually refer to people who can actually credibly fix this problem then we'll just be toast chasing our tails and people calling each other racists or islamists or radical of these. two trains have collided in egypt reportedly killing at least thirty six people and injuring over one hundred more according to the egyptian railways authority a train traveling to the port city of alexandria from cairo crashed into the back of another train which was waiting at a small station just outside alexandria the country's president sisi has reportedly ordered local authorities to establish who was responsible this is the deadliest rail incident in egypt since two thousand and six back then more than fifty people were killed when two trains collided near cairo. german journalist

is far worse off making the news as opposed to reporting on it and this is after she claimed in interview the german media is biased towards the government in its coverage of the refugee crisis but it is a moment said journalists are instructed to report in a pro-government way when it comes to the migrant crisis revelation was made back in january twenty sixth enjoying an interview about the cologne sex attack that she gave to a dutch radio station later she was asked to apologize for highlighting negative aspects of calls welcoming policy our sister channel to do it spoke exclusively to the journalist at the center of the controversy. journalists tend to support chancellor merkel's refugee policy throughout the media not just at the channel i work for some journalists including me tried ph more critical stories but they were not approved as to why i spoke out stories that feel to welcome or support this policy are being blocked honestly at first i did not understand the situation the

whole situation that occurred because of this as a channel stated there was a lot of damage in a public field i cooperated and did everything possible to minimize the damage to did w d r t v channel i'm officially not fired just don't approve my pitches my stories haven't changed yet but it suddenly turned out there are not trustworthy anymore. a report published in june of this year claimed that media outlets are closing their eyes to the concerns and fears of the german population with regard to the country's migration policy that is imminent again claims that there are topics journalists want to cover but the simply not allowed to. i would wish to many more colleagues there to do more critical coverage the pressure comes from the top down i know from some colleagues that there are certain topics which you would like to cover but this topics were not approved because you were too critical

because they don't fit to format of the program i think it's significant it would be significant for a journalist in germany. wildfires in italy of tall no way through thousands of hectares so far this year that's partly due to a record breaking heat wave as our correspondent kate parted explains there are more sinister reasons as well. as temperatures soar across southern europe wildfires have become common particularly in italy. but the sheer number of forest fires has raised suspicions and police have discovered that many fires are less acts of god than acts of some very desperate men and the courses themselves are eyebrow raising in sicily fifteen volunteer policemen have been arrested for either starting or reporting fires so they could earn an extra ten euros an hour for putting them out while suspicions were raised when the number of fires went up from the usually volunteer number of forty to one

hundred twenty the alleged ringleader a man known as hddvd is even under house arrest as he apparently constant his practice of driving to an area and sparking up while police indeed say he is one twisted firestarter he said he wanted to set of a bomb to take the money available if the emergency vehicles needed to be repaired another scandal like the fires has also spread to rome where two hundred hectares of a nature reserve have gone up in flames and so powerfully has the reputation of a former t.v. director who local media citing the investigation is part of a racket who started the fires to intimidate a group of transvestite prostitutes working in the area to make them pay their protection money where he was found with a flyer in one hand and a lighter in the other one could perhaps say the evidence against him is incendiary . remember plenty ways to keep across the day's news you could have told website
