north korea.

running down the top stories of the week the main headline today. street brawls in the us. where one person's been killed and more than a. group of people protesting against a white nationalist rally that was the removal of. the dr. i should warn you the upcoming video. thank. you.

ran down oh if people. start looking for oh there's room ready to go he will. try to get out. it was intentional they cracked open that he was going to see intentional tears right behind me is the side of the incident that happened today hundreds of counter protesters were coming down the street and went to make a left at this alley here you can see two cars still parked here they haven't been removed those two cars were there as the protesters were walking and stopped to let them through at the same time a third car came down the alley and plowed through the protesters hitting the two cars that are still here behind me at that point he then reversed back up the alley again plowing through the protesters many witnesses say people were thrown in the

air due to the force of the impact he then fled the scene but has since been arrested and been identified as twenty year old james fields of ohio one woman was killed in the incident a thirty two year old whose identity has yet to have been released one thousand others were injured throughout the day there have been many clashes seen in charlottesville between the white nationalists and the anti-gay protesters the counter protesters here in the city. thank you very. much but we will start that way to talk to. the. governor of virginia also spoke about the attack after it happened about how this

is not representative of his city and i have a message to all the white supremacists and the nazis who came into charlottesville today our message is plain and simple go home the hatred and rhetoric that has gone on. it's intensified over the last couple months is dividing this great nation the protests actually started on friday night and continued in on saturday saturday a state of emergency was declared for the city and actually all of the assembly were declared unlawful and police were trying to break them up here in the city there was a very heavy police presence with many in riot gear and the virginia national guard was also here as well now the protests in general they were started in reaction to the idea that confederate monuments here in the city would be taken down white nationalist came here to protest that happening saturday's clash in charlottesville has become one of the bloodiest incidents to date over the removal of

a confederate monument pepper spray bottles and makeshift weapons were used in brawls between far right demonstrators and protesters and more than thirty people were injured school was arrested and in a separate incident a police helicopter that was monitoring the rally crashed just outside the town killing two offices the u.s. president meantime has voiced his concern over the standoff and. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many shots on many sites 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 and the police distanced themselves and below it when it fascist protestors were about to attack. the fascist crowds and which the police left the area so that if

a clash could take place it wasn't that the police couldn't have done more to police i think the police in charlottesville a police department that's been riddled with racism stood aside because it probably a lot of them support the all right. racist forces i mean this is the this is the deep south this is the southern part of virginia this is the heart of the confederacy richmond was the this center of the confederacy so this was not an accident what happened today the police stepped aside and let this happen amidst the violence in virginia some continue to blame deep divisions in american society and politics. but it's about you and i do we stand divided people i've got to get out of that i try to i speak to the people that have. the democrats i think.

one of the reasons i won the election is very very divided nation. this week he launched a campaign to help bring russian speaking children stuck at an orphanage in iraq back home they were reportedly smuggled into the country by their parents who joined i sold but have now either being killed all fled for often mosul's liberation ultimately at the end of the day leaving their children behind. mosul was a nightmare a charnel house that orphaned generations not just iraqis take this baghdad shelter that we filmed here leave the children of i still victims together with the children of i sell fighters. to

them and. someone. else could just. put. these harrowing words touched people's hearts broke watching this story will make a humble but honestly living will gladly provide for those children should the remain displaced it's nice country here in australia and the children would be loved. and mixed with the messages of support that we received the claims from alleged relatives take little and leave his aren't in russia recognised him the family desperately wants him back telling us how his parents had apparently joined i sell only to die and disappear this is their last photo together

notice islamic states black flag in the corner clearly. even. then there's five year old who three year old fatima their parents joined the i.c.l. two years ago and were killed in. a drone strike in june tells us there grandfather he says a seven year old girls living next door to him recognized fatima and him from our video and that he can't wait to see his beloved grandchildren again more than a desert and is sure.

it was you know pretty. good to me. they're lucky. they're old enough to speak to know their names but what about the many orphaned children too we young to speak much less know their names because. in this business. the final. thing is important. even if their relatives know them it is only from photographs and as an example one woman believes she recognized her grandson in our video by his eyes clearly someone could be to put him in a new school community station national compassion. there

are forty eight russian speaking children in iraq you often ages that we know of and we continue receiving messages from potential relatives but this is just the tip of the iceberg. 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. or i guess the year. from dagestan russia. what i've mentioned just we've received a letter from johnson and australian who has offered to adopt a child who's running things can't be found we asked him what's behind his decision . that was not raging as i read it i go across. to every comma still think about. a lot of very destroy the poor children's wit.

to say i. could still say to them then children. shouldn't be allowed that should be happy to have been surrounded by friends and family. parents. to be proud of little. children shouldn't they did it when i when i was a young boy. so a parent. close it. and he did the wife for that little little boy to. experience such horror. of only a couple of these oh that was one of the most harrowing that i remember and description of saying saying that to. the whole little boy would describe such a thing that stuck with me and. i would want any child.

to come to come across things like that but. it is not international thanks for joining us barely a day is passed this week without a fresh exchange of threats between washington and pyongyang over north korea's latest military maneuvers. they will be met. by your. body again it's a state. maybe it was in a. confrontation between the two military powers has provoked some negative international reaction while russia says the risks of war are high china warned trump against playing with fire over north korea beijing adding that it would protect its regional neighbors in the event of a u.s.

strike germany also believes that escalation is the wrong answer and experts told us trump and kim jong un should simply tone down the rhetoric. but this can't be is an ego fight and right now what it felt like was a fight between trump on one side and kim on the other and to see who could make more outlandish statements and the fear is that if somebody flinches if somebody screws up there could be hundreds of thousands of dead people here this is a very real fight this is shockingly dangerous and the last thing we need to do is stand down it started bumping chests and talk about who's the bigger man with the president's rhetoric i think it's it's two leaders exchanging bombastic terms it would be a disaster a total disaster an arms race right on the peninsula even china does not want that that's why we need to tone down this rhetoric corral in these folks and and try to get them to talk reasonably rather than being bombastic all the time and creating tensions however at home trumps approval rating has got a bit of

a boost amid the tough talks on korea its popularity has jumped six points off reward to pyongyang would face repercussions. i want a reason why trump's aggressive rhetoric is popular in the u.s. maybe because polls show that over sixty percent of americans view north korea as a very serious threat but can they actually find a threat on a map is. not scared of of north korea i'm not scared but i'm scared of who our leaders are in many countries and how they're behaving they're not asleep behaving in the interest of of the people fully is becoming more of a bird votto than any time you're dealing with an a country that's led by your irrational dictator i think you know even you could care for the worst yes pretty threatening and we responded in a threatening way that scary feeling 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 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. man mark there you go yeah that that's that's north i knew that she would get it when you find north korea on this map of the world oh that's australia actual oh well korea. southeast asia that's cambodia that's. ok so it's here that's australia where someone at saudi arabia forget me i'm hopeless it's for a it's. around here around there yeah you're right that's that's north rim right there you go you 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 still plenty of stories on the weekly today including the saudi government waging a war on one. explanation and. thanks

for sharing your sunday with us here on out see what you see behind me images from the war. most school but rather a small show. more district. to rubble by government forces who are supposedly hunting down sponsible for a tux. very few journalists have been allowed in the area and most of the footage has been posted online by locals images show of damage and military vehicles patrolling the streets residents told us what's behind the government's move there they asked us to disguise their voices. and those. who were the shearling but i think you could. turn.

who are. going to do snow well. no. doubt because sure. to suit. st. charles i'm sure most more war sure destruction. oh sure. i can see that broad term. so wouldn't. we want to shoot former bush. on. the bridge of certain months you. know where to go when no. one wants to go over the local mayor says bulldozers on the streets have nothing to do with violence he says this employee clearing the area to

make way for new infrastructure he also claimed most locals want to see their neighborhoods seriously redeveloped well our mayor has a population of around twenty five thousand people that's predominantly shia and is mostly opposed to the sunni run government it was the hometown of the executed not al not a critic of the country's rulers over the way they treat the shiite minority given the ethnic background locals claim the renovation plans are simply an attempt to drive them out. to governments. who watched no. variation it's just. come for the government to susan. you can warm up twice to catch. one leave much time to. completely. true for much time during each of the months long crackdown

has claimed us youngest victim a boy who recently died from his injuries. part of my family. is and i want me and i lost some of my students and friends. in the us so so if the city a child was shot by the saudi special forces and he doubts that he was shot in the car of his family the so-called saudi renovations began in the spring and have been aided with the use of western equipment canadian military vehicles for example are being used. we are looking at these claims very seriously and have

immediately launched a review saudi arabia is canada's second the biggest. of the us and the u.k. also routinely sell billions of dollars worth of equipment to the kingdom which has repeatedly been accused of human rights violations activist i mean never told us about the destruction of our media. two thousand and eleven zero army air was. one of the strongest towns in qatif calling for reforms calling for more rights in saudi arabia not only for she even for certain needs i will dare the government to invite independent investigation of what's happening to interview these twenty thousand who have been displaced not to say let some members who they know what would they say then they will told the government narrative. r.t. has spoken to a palestinian father and his son who say they were brutally beaten by israeli

police in east jerusalem they describe the video of the incident which did emerge shortly afterwards online. i don't even if the whole field of 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 ordered the soldiers accompanying him to break my hands. was no sign of any god i'm sure can sure there was a pleasure yet. there were five to six people they were employees of the special forces their tanks me twisted my hands behind my back and began to beat me. off. her. whenever she returned to her. and they beat me hold on the head

is sharply twisted my right hand behind my back and started to beat it insistently so that my elbow was french and a beard and his fifteen year old son ahmed told us that after being beaten they were taken to the police station where they were held for two days however at no point did i want to explain to them why they were detained in the first place. the first time in to a car and drove to the police station they kept beating and insulting as during the right at the station they confiscated our clothes one officer asked me to stand near a wall and smash my head against a two car fingerprints my father away i was kept at the station for two days for the head it had young wiley but they didn't explain why they had beaten us we didn't know the me nor my some didn't. know the incident comes amid growing concern over israel's treatment of palestinians in east jerusalem human rights watch warns

the practice of removing residency from palestinians may amount to that of a war crime the rights group issued a report alternately warning about the growing number of revocations in fact in recent decades israel has stripped over fourteen thousand palestinians all the residents of permits and human rights watch says that the residency guarantees civil rights to palestinians so when the permits were revoked they were forced to leave their homes but were crime in question is the forcible deportation of the occupied if that protected population. is part of the occupy territory here we're not talking about people forced to leave their home at the point to go on we're talking about policies that in fact we forced people to leave well despite concerns from various rights group israel gives a number of justifications for its actions authorities say residents who rides are

usually removed when jerusalem is no longer the people's main place of residence however in recent years palestinians have also been stripped of their rights for attacking israelis but 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 check so all of these things motivating people to if you will salt. physically and we deemed that this kind of policy that forces people to stop the port amounts to the same crimes this never happens to citizens of israel specifically jewish citizens so this is part of this policy whereby israel declares the city of jerusalem to be ninety eight city but it's in practice not united at all there's two policies for the two peoples. your weekly program returns in about
