their grandparents back in russia after an all teak revisited a baghdad image. and donald trump warns the north korean leader kim jong un he will regret it false if he continues to make threats against the u.s. . you're watching altie international live from studio with me in india a cheetah welcome to the program we start with the u.s. state of the ginia where one person has been killed and more than a dozen injured at a unite the right rally after a call plowed into a crowd of counter-demonstrators the driver has been arrested.

those. with the right. to seek international terrorist. brutal clashes have been ongoing throughout the day in charlottesville and a state of emergency has been declared charlottesville has become a ground zero for white nationalist neo confederate and alt right activists in the us including the k.k.k. in their fight to keep traces of the confederate legacy there intact saturday's unrest began as a protest against the removal of the statue of the confederate general meanwhile the governor of the state of virginia has called for calm. the hatred in the rhetoric that has gone on. in this intensified over the last couple months is

dividing this great nation alex rubenstein has been following the developments for us. thank. you general. ok. it was a three car pile up i'm not sure how it how it worked physically but the person in front from what i hear was able to drive away and was followed by a state trooper that was told to me by an n.b.c. reporter i didn't see that personally i saw it i saw i didn't i saw two cars that

were all totaled. the trunk was just completely smashed a woman was inside crying there was there was blood on the hood of her vehicle there was blood all over the place people about sixteen people injured i saw i saw some of them flying through the air over the hood of the car. and i'm hearing actually one one possible fatality i can't confirm that but that's that's what i've been hearing on the ground and i also hear about sixteen people injured total but they were contra protesters they they were more of the variety they weren't breaking things or anything like that they were marching through a very very small road it was it's a one way and they had just a big number of people in that stretch and the car just plowed through three cars actually plowed through two of them and it appears to be unintentionally one of them and if it appears to be very intentional it's not completely locked down i mean the streets have been shut off on and off all day and charlottesville and later on some ambulances were able to show up after about like seven to ten minutes

or so a lot of people crying a lot of people have friends that were that were hit by that car and just just all around sadness. you know you know typically at a protest if if the police will ask you to get on the sidewalk protesters will say no i mean everyone was compliant everyone was just trying to do the best thing that they could do at that time for the injured people it seems. let's bring in political analyst and write to charles charles welcome to the program now the virginia governor terry mcauliffe he gave a statement calling for calm and saying hatred was divided the nation what do you see as the root causes of what's happening. well it's more than a little bit ironic that this had to happen at the university of virginia because that university was founded by thomas jefferson who was the author of the virginia statute on religious freedom and the declaration of independence and he in men what

men and women like him of that age believe passionately that even controversial thought it perhaps especially controversial thought should be allowed to come forward in the public square and that there should be vigorous debate but not violence in settling whether an issue made or didn't make sense so you know on the one hand i think the organizers of this event certainly were looking to instigate trouble i think we're going to find in time in the course of time that the other side the people who were so active months ago out of berkeley did nyingma a forum to a conservative speaker we're going to find that they also are guilty of this and i think in a sense because his right about one big thing and wrong about one big thing he's right that it's time for americans we live in the richest country on earth the richest big country on earth to put aside differences find common ground and figure out how to move this great nation forward and help move the world forth that's a positive way of thinking you know we don't live in abject poverty yet we continue

down this path perhaps we will we've got so much that we could do together and the discourse is heightened the rancor is heightened by both sides and i think he's right about that he's rivera wrong about the idea that outsiders from outside virginia have no right to go into virginia and speak outsiders from outside the the american south played a great role in going down to the american south in the one nine hundred fifty s. and bringing the measure of racial reconciliation and getting rid of segregation so i think is very wrong on that but so far he's kept a level head will wait and see what happens in charles you know that their home in the rigorous debate is but that's not what we're seeing at the moment and people are looking to the president and donald trump he's been criticized in the media for failing to condemn the white nationalists for the riots in your opinion is that fair criticism or do you think both sides are to blame.

i don't think it's fair criticism at all i think this is a matter where both sides both sides of the extreme poles. you know are taking positions. in each case are probably not wise where where he's absolutely right is that in in the political square violence has no place inside our country dare i say in any other country violence just doesn't have a place and you know if the k.k.k. our team were going to there to start a fight shame on them if they were if that was done in the guise of a charity that charity should be revoked and severely disciplined same for the anti for if there are people behind anti for who or are funding it through through charities which i suspect they may be and in provoking violence around the country even in this in the minutes that have passed between the time i was asked to come on the show i walked about a mile through places in new york where there are already protests they do not look very spontaneous to me they're printed flags printed placards you know i think

people on both sides are spoiling for a fight here and we ought to think very carefully about what actually happened find out who may be guilty of what offenses best to get them and punish them accordingly before we leap to a conclusion as to what may have happened let's look at charles us look at how the rally started and where it started started at the statue of confederate general robert e. lee why do you think the confederacy and the symbols attached to it have become such a point for white nationalists. well that's a tough one i mean i think throughout the american south that i am not from the american south but throughout the american south. there was a lot wrong with the way in which the america confederacy was run there were there were there were some good things about the way the confederacy was won't run and

the problem today is in two thousand and seventeen for all of our history you know we don't have as long a history is as russia for example in all of our history. we don't really know enough yet about what actually happened during that period and there are strong and justifiably strong passionate feelings about what happened during our american civil war from eight hundred sixty eight hundred sixty five and what happened in the run up and the aftermath of that war that does not give the right to anybody on either side of the spectrum to go in and either destroy things destroy property or harm people whatever your viewpoint just doesn't give you that right let's talk it through let's have a really deep discord not by orthodox people on the left who control our academic institutions in the name the center of free fair and open discussion of you know what is animating all sides in this debate and let's find truth together here charles but that is you talk about history there is a history of racism is clearly not a new thing but. do you think that at this point in time the far right feels more

in bolton that it has done in the u.s. than in previous years. well you know i would i don't know much about that frankly i mean i think the notion of the far right being an organized group in the united states of america two thousand and seventeen is way out there if you're talking about a far right far right social issues i really don't see abundant evidence of that i see a few hotheads some of whom were believe at this march at this protest yes there are hot heads there are also extreme hot heads on the left who incite violence i remember within the last two years i think down a wash in square park near where i live i watched around right after one incident where people were inside in the crowd to burn down cars to kill police officers you know i mean we have to sort of dial it back a little here there are bad apples on the right on the left but we don't need

another civil war in this country and i think you know this event is coming dangerously close to sort of inciting violence that's not what we need charles being called in i mean city on x. translates yeah i said that you know there are a few hotheads that was saying you know these protests so how can you deny that the racism. is a huge element in these protests well i would deny categorically that america is a racist country i think we are a melting pot country i think the evidence is overwhelming that that's the case i think that minority viewpoints are are welcomed or encouraged in our country and have been for decades do we have a history. with great trouble and that is past. the

national weather service in sterling virginia has issued a special memory warning for chesapeake bay from north beach to drum point maryland chesapeake bay from sandy point in north beach maryland to up and river to cambridge maryland in the little town and river eastern bay tax and river to booms and the maryland until nine forty five pm it ten pm severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from twelve nautical miles west of maywood to international harbor moving used to twenty five knots hazard wind gusts in excess of fifty knots source radar indicated impact boaters could easily be thrown overboard by suddenly higher wind and waves capsizing their vessel boats could suffer significant damage in high winds locations impacted include greenwell state park truck and river blackall mid-point solomons island couple creek drum point north beach james island calvert cliffs poplar island tilman chesapeake beach and healers island move to safe harbor

immediately as gusty winds and high waves are expected. very practical investor and business person and i like to think about you know create lists and hierarchies of what's the most important thing to do what's the least important thing to do you know that's way way way down the list of justifiable concerns in two thousand and seventeen when we have a colony that is not growing as fast as it needs to is not getting real secure jobs together for people who might have pensions so they can build families live in homes and communities and nurture this country gets a major economic problems you've got some major international problems you know to invest time and energy at this moment to try to to decide that you know it's a good or bad idea to venerate the confederate war heroes i mean that's what's so far down the list as to really not being worth much time. ok well let's talk about

that political analyst right thanks very much for your thoughts on this. the u.s. president has voiced his concern over the standoff in virginia this week is in washington with the latest the president he released a statement saying that the incident charles phillips something that obviously almost everyone is following and he condemned the bigotry on both sides calling for unity in the u.s. and he says the hate and division must stop but we're closely following the terrible events unfolding in charlottesville virginia we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many sites on many say it's been going on for a long time in our country not donald trump not barack obama it's been going on for a long long time. it is no place in america what is vital now is

a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives the president is calling for the u.s. tonight but the country is anything but united at this point i mean we've seen violent protests ever since trump was inaugurated back in january both for and against him and you know while this particular incident seems to be targeted from the left wing protesters we've actually seen a lot of violence targeting the right this past year and one of the most prominent cases was back in june when the republican congressman was shot during a baseball practice before a game and there has also been theater performances where the president was killed at the very end of it and you also may recall the video done by comedian kathy griffin where she held up the president's head similar to what you've seen in isis videos and what's interesting about today's incident is that even before the courage of into the crowd of protesters there had actually already been

a student emergency declared and there was a very heavy police presence there as you know you know about a thousand officers were there and the virginia national guard was also present and it's still not exactly clear how it all unfolded as you can imagine there sell a lot of details coming in but this original per test was underpinned by the decision to basically remove the confederate statue and what some solid as a racist symbol it's actually not the first incident though you may recall back in may another confederate statue was removed and that was actually done at night to avoid these type of protests when of course keep you updated on the situation in charlottesville and also for the live analysis on the on going to visions in american politics. the title speaks about you and i don't respect divided people but i'm putting. you i respect the people who cut.

the democrats' fight or. one of the reasons i won the election is very very divided nation.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. have to go right to be for us was like well before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in my. first city. welcome back to the program bring them home that's the call after all t. started campaigning to find relatives of russian speaking children stranded in an iraqi orphanage these youngsters had reportedly been taken to the country by their

parents who joined islamic state. please. please. give. us a. chance. since we had stories of children for the first time we've received letters from people around the world

saying they want to adopt them here's a letter we received from a man living in australia. my heart broke watching the story well make a humble but honestly living gladly provide for those children should remain displaced it's nice country here in australia and the children would be loved. but some of the children 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 and cast have to travel to the russian republic of dagestan after the grandparents of two sisters had. 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. in a baghdad also an age and their grandparents recognized them. we

filmed this in the very yard in which grew up next to her beloved swing set her and her sister were taken to mosul by her parents two years ago grandfather says they fell under isis assuaged a religious propaganda he says in june his son and his wife were killed in a drone strike leaving the children all alone in russia. would be. bizarre. as it were to the menu by none doesn't work if you just 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. a real loud to return to their grandparents. but were not there is really. resonated with. 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 were 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 she will 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. donald trump has warned of devastating consequences for north korea if the regime fall is through on its threat to target u.s. territory of guam in the west pacific he'll face stress his support for the island in a phone call with the governor. the artery was red or of he does anything with respect to warm or anyplace else that sort of american territory or an american ally he will truly regret and he will regret it. has now posted emergency guidelines on how to act in the event of

a nuclear strike locals of advise to avoid looking at the flash all fireball and to waste no time running for cover those guidelines were released shortly after trump tensions yet again in a tweet the president informed the public that the us army is locked and loaded against pyongyang it was the latest in a series of ultimatums against. north korea. make it even worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen the people that would question that statement was it . maybe it wasn't tough enough so that if there is a state that has nothing to do with there that's a statement meanwhile several media outlets are claiming the pentagon has plans for a preemptive strike on north korea's nuclear facilities and that's raising fears across the border in seoul as the trying to explain. so what if mr crumb 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. north korea's sovereignty and dignity our army will launch the merciless ultra precision strikes from the ground. under water so they'd better stop being reckless and even without the stuff trump wants to wipe out they 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. the national weather service in sterling virginia has issued a special memory warning for chesapeake bay from pools island to sandy point maryland just a river to queenstown maryland yesterday into penn pm. twenty five pm a strong thunderstorm was located near maggots the river moving used it in the. hazard thirty four knots or greater source radar indicated impact boaters and small craft could be thrown overboard by suddenly higher winds and waves capsizing their vessel locations impacted include fort smallwood state park point pine forest

megacity river chester river or light gibson island can point. to safe harbor until hazardous weather passes. not only establish its power but demonstrate its power everyone's playing the count kim's missile range game though 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 if you are us 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. well the back at the top of the alice is stay with us.

the mission of news with you is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that i mean average viewer knows that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of archie america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more vets journalists not getting anything.
