i. i. i i. declared in a small city in the u.s. state of virginia violence breaks out to the right wing rally organized to protest the removal of a. two young girls reportedly taken to islamic state controlled territory by their parents or recognized by their grandparents back in russia filled the kids in a. ritual

for. rhetorical north korea depp's up with the president now warning leader kim jong that he will regret it fast if he acts them wisely. thanks for joining us this saturday evening my name's neil harvey this is a party international. first this hour violence has erupted as crowds gathered for a right wing march in charlottesville in the u.s. state of virginia here are the latest pictures from the scene. oh.

yeah. ok. the show's phil has now declared a state of emergency over this rally in small cities become a ground zero for white nationalist neo confederate and try to activists in the us that includes the k.k.k. and the fight to keep traces of the confederate legacy that intact this is a matter of plan was announced to remove a statute to rename two local parks and we heard from auntie's alex rubenstein who's on the ground that. most of the clashes have just ended there were about four major brawls between the unite the right protesters and various anti five groups in black lives matter groups. there were all lot of people i saw a lot of people covered in blood big welts on their head on a lot of op temper spray people using pepper spray not the police

a lot of chemical dispersals of people throwing water colors on any kind of thing to mess with the other side the locals are very negative to it this is a college town in virginia and it's considered a very liberal town for virginia so they're not very pleased with the city voted on it's you remove a statue of the confederate general robert e. lee there's been a proliferation of of. of all right rallies on so to speak. unite the right is the big a hash tag campaign that they're going with other touring the country right now to do these berkeley's one place and i'm sure anti five is all over the country and protesting them wherever they are. because the thoughts of political and social commentator and to me brian logan. kind of expected anytime you have you know groups of white so when it comes together to talk about anything they do then being white in a positive way of course you're going to get people to come

a kind of protests you're going to have people matter you also have. the same kind of thing happen in california so it isn't a surprise that a happy new year in a state of virginia you should not be removing these monuments because when you do there what it does is it reshapes history it's a different story than actually what actually happened during the civil war they tried to paint a confederate a. place in the north. you know liberal place but that was not the case and that was removed. in the favor. as being the you know the. people when they really nice police do need to take some action at least you know right now. as of right now it's a fad is trendy to go out there and protest in you know scream. kind of things because a lot of people that are out there in order to get a lot of attention they'll be able to promote themselves market in what the police do need to intervene when it gets to a point where it crosses a boundary because when you cross a boundary. for boundaries to continuously be crossed. bring them

home that is the. campaigning to find relatives of russian speaking children stranded and. have reported being taken to the country by the parents who joined islamic state. i.

think. since we aired stories of children for the first time we receive letters from people all around the world saying that they would like to adopt them here's one letter we received from a man living in australia my heart broke watching the story will make a humble but honest living well gladly provide for those children should the remain displaced it's nice country here in australia and the children would be loved as our own but some of the children and now have a chance to return to their relatives as we started to receive calls and emails from people who think they know them personally our correspondent has traveled to the russian republic of dagestan after the grandparents of two sisters how did john fund tomar came forward. the two elderly grandparents both pensioners had never given up hope but it was difficult they heard nothing they knew nothing

other than that their grandkids were lost in a war zone but hope never dies just days ago she filmed fatima and had deja in a baghdad wolf a niche and their grandparents recognized them both of them in your. research. we filmed this in the very yard in which grew up next to her beloved swing set and her sister were taken to mosul by her parents two years ago grandfather says they fell on the isis way to religious propaganda he says in june his son and his wife were killed in a drone strike leaving the children all alone. no

i would be. busy. as it were to the menu by now and i support teachers grandfather who she used to call dhaka instead of says that he's overjoyed he says that his life has meaning again but it's not over yet there are tough paperwork to follow this bureaucracy and procedures to follow before the girls had fatima a real oud to return to their grandparents. but were not very easy to talk i'm sure thing it was because you know that it was hard and more than. the two sisters and several of the youngsters were identified off that we filmed them at the baghdad orphanage but they're the lucky ones

according to officials as many as a thousand youngsters from dagestan alone taken illegally by their parents to syria and to iraq the parents perished leaving the children all alone in a country that isn't their own. we'll continue to try and find more of these youngsters in the hope that more of them can be reunited with their families back here in russia. and there's another story which could possibly have a happy ending people claiming to be the relatives of another child have got in contact with a saying they think they recognize a toddler in the video of the boy in question was born in iraq and they've only seen him in photographs sent to them by his mother. situation. someone could be to. exclude. this simply

isn't a. question of could. imagine you would. wish to. contribute. equally supernanny since. you still live in. the city p.d. . and you can use the email address that you can see the bottom of the screen now if you have any information you think could be relevant concerning the stranded children this is r.t. continues the campaign to reunite those kids with their families back here in russia . donald trump ratcheted up his rhetoric against the leader of north korea after the regime's lately start of a missile strike the u.s.

president sent a warning to kim jong il and he also stressed his support for the american asian territory of guam in a phone call with the governor. he utters water threat or if he does anything with respect to qualcomm or any place else that sort of american territory or an american ally he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast. technically you can't have a thousand percent but will brush over that has now posted emergency guidelines on how to act in case of a nuclear strike he's advised locals to avoid looking at the flash or fireball and to waste no time running for cover they were released these guidelines shortly after donald trump extensions yet again by far enough yet another tweet the president took time to inform the public of the u.s.

army is quote locked and loaded against pyongyang it was the latest in a spate of talking tough from the u.s. leader. north korea. there's no make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never seen the people that would question that today it was. maybe it wasn't tough enough so that if there is a state that has nothing to do with there that's a statement while it's still a war of words for now western media report the pentagon has plans for a preemptive strike on north korea's nuclear facilities but that's raising fears across the border in seoul. explains. so what if mr trump goes forward and all these roughly two dozen north korean missile launch sites testing grounds and other facilities go boom there is no way kim jong un won't take revenge what are they going to aim at. the north korea shover to you and dignity our army will

launch the merciless own troop decision strikes from the ground. under water so they'd better stop being reckless and even without the stuff trump wants to wipe out they've got quite the arsenal toy unleashed hell over the thirty eighth parallel for decades north korea has been prepping artillery for that very moment and now what they got loaded and ready to fire are twelve thousand pieces of tube artillery and twenty three hundred units of multiple launch rocket artillery. the direction southward is clear where precisely will kim point across here here are two words for you to learn counterforce and how to value targeting south korean and possibly even u.s. military facilities near the demilitarized zone versus an attack to destroy

economically critical infrastructure and to cause immense civilian casualties i mean it when i say immense look at the range of north korean artillery beyond the border millions of people live there more than half of south korea's population so with roughly ten million residents and with almost three million and su one over one million all these cities are in that zone and some estimates say that forty eight hours of artillery rage may kill over one hundred thousand in and around seoul alone but what kind of specific north korean threat have we been mostly hearing about from the folks on t.v. the dramatic escalation. tensions with north korea overnight the regime divides defy president trump with a new threat against the u.s. territory of guam a chilling new warning comes as the rogue nation threatens to strike guam home to thousands of u.s.

service members this is a regime that's trying to not only establish its power but demonstrate its power everyone's playing the kims missile range game even if it is capable of reaching the u.s. island in the pacific how realistic is the threat of a successful launch a launch that would dog america's so with the. united states there is. very little risk the more. if you are u.s. citizen on the coast of no doubt you're still pretty stressed but hey say that to south koreans from somewhere near seoul they'll be the first to get zapped if mr trump pulls the trigger going underground host actually returns he discusses the u.s. north korea escalations with award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger the full interview will be had here throughout the day for now though is a short clip trump is a bit of a wimp compared with obama

a bomber. having put american interests in wars including the longest war in it's in the history of having increased the development of nuclear. warheads more than any president since the cold war obama's record was on the soup a whole trampas has a long way to catch up with his previous us so that's why i really should stop simply looking at trump the man and petroleum as a kind of symptom almost a cartoon version of a system. a system. was produced people would have almost brought us to of nuclear war. it's good some breaking news now this information just in heavy injuries have been sustained by protesters or unite the rights rally in the u.s.

this transition to batteries and this to energy paradigm is really remarkable is happening quite rapidly and totally. by this network economics that's transforming the global economy and central banks are fading and fading electricity and batteries are battery technology. so it's really. defining transition to a new

a new world in china. at least sixteen civilians have been killed and then alleged u.s. strike in eastern afghanistan according to local officials the u.s. military has admitted conducting a bombing raid in the. evening but it claims that only militants were killed afghan officials speak this we heard from an eyewitness of the strike and victims' relatives. my father and my mother killed. eleven people being transported in the vehicle three women five children two men and one of the women was wounded. the bombing was current we would put in our school the place where the instrument hit. my two brothers my mother and my sister were killed. the latest claims about civilian deaths come amid talk of a change of u.s.

tactics in afghanistan details his killing more put into the afghan government these civilians were killed in eastern afghanistan and the u.s. government says that that is not accurate it says that only militants were killed we reached out specifically to the pentagon to get a clarification and for more information about the situation we did not receive an answer now this comes as donald trump is talking about reworking u.s. strategy in afghanistan we just heard him speak on it and he says his intention is to make it quote a whole lot less messy it's a very big decision for the took over a mess. we're going to. make it a lot less messy but that has been a place seventeen years or longer smores i read in one of your code and frankly. it's going to be a decision that's within the of a version of now at this point roughly eight thousand four hundred u.s. troops are in afghanistan they're joined by roughly five thousand nato forces that

are there alongside them from various nato countries the united states has been in afghanistan for over sixteen years there's been a series of incidents in which civilians have been killed and increasingly in u.s. airstrikes we've also seen afghan security forces being killed much controversy surrounding u.s. activities in the country but as the u.s. intervention in the country continues there have been calls from the military for an expansion of the u.s. military presence in afghanistan now one proposal is being put forward on afghanistan and it's coming from erik prince now erik prince is the founder of privates. curity firm a military contractor formerly known as blackwater this quite controversial he's proposing that the usa privatized its war in afghanistan there would be contracted people professionals former special special operations veterans that have experience in that theater to go do that work would it be profiting from the war. well we're not there now but any vendor that again that solves that solution that's

that's capitalism that's that's what it's about now the expanded use of military contractors in afghanistan and other parts of the world raises questions of accountability when such forces violate international law or engage in activities that are questionable but this is just one of the many questions that are raging as the sixteen year intervention by the united states and afghanistan continues. the german until it through initiative designed to appeal to all in the community is facing a backlash for using turkey such as movement. of the turkish community in the city of duisburg where the company's taking place complained of being singled out. i think it's a great campaign it will be nice to find your own name and it supports people to predict garbage in garbage cans and not leave it on the street. it's going to really get this message to the to encourage people in cleaning up after themselves

and not just on the street on the grounds. but the local politician and member of the turkish community defended the initiative saying it's not against turks yet if you also didn't believe it was an act of exclusion or discrimination we also spoke to a member of the alternative of germany party who told us the lack of integration could be to blame for the backlash. this whole issue is just a symptom of failed integration if you feel that you are sidelined that you'll be

racist discriminated against you easily take offense luckily the german disposal company who started this initiative brushed off all complaints and carried on business as usual it was just a very very harmless complaint i should say these are things that apply to all the people who live in that area it has nothing to do with racism as taught that again if you want to be offended you will always find something to be offended. return to our breaking news story now heavy injuries have been sustained by protesters at a unite the rights rally in the u.s. state of virginia there this is after an incident where a car plowed into the crowd there r.t. america's alex rubenstein is at the scene and to film these pictures for as we see

in the cars that have been severely damaged there are people on the floor blood as you can see there spattered across it looks like it's a receipt incident taking place it is unclear though delhi who's responsible for it will bring you the very latest information as soon as we get it. thanks for tuning in to was this saturday evening also places you could be i know we appreciate you joining us about the latest nice off now.
