6:04 am
we started 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. and has 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 assemblies 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

6:06 am
going on for a long long time if the k.k.k. our team were going down 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 are are funding it through through charities which i suspect they may be and in provoking violence around the country even in this in a minute sort of 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 have 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. amidst the violence in virginia some
6:07 am
continue to blame deep divisions in american society and politics. it's about you and i know we stand divided people but i'm. going to try to stick to cadge a. democrat. one of the reasons i won the election has been 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 been killed all fled ultimately leaving bet your behind. mosul was
6:08 am
a nightmare charnel house that orphaned generations not just iraqis take this baghdad shelter that we filmed here live the children of i still victims together with the children of i sell fighters. to them and. someone. else could just. open. these harrowing words touched people's hearts broke watching the story will make a humble but on a slipping 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
6:09 am
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 let me give you that. 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
6:10 am
he says a seven year old girls living next door to him recognized fatima and him teacher from our video and that he can't wait to see his beloved grandchildren again for the next dessert and is sure. it was real. good to put. their 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 the specific order the final. thing is important.
6:11 am
even if their relatives know them it is only from photographs as an example one woman believes she recognized her grandson in our video by his eyes clearly someone could be took to fifty to sixty. special national compassion. there are forty eight russian speaking children in iraq orphanages 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. from dagestan russia. mentioned we've received a letter from mark johnson an australian who's offered to adopt
6:12 am
a child whose relatives call in to be found we spoke to him i was operating as i read it i go across. to every comic book think about. a lot of very destroyed the poor children's were. in despair. you could still say to them then children. that shouldn't be allowed that that should be happening to it and surrounded by friends and family. saying what the parents of the boys luggage and just listening to be positive and hopeful situation and the children shouldn't hate it. when i had a young boy. so there was a parent. close their eyes. and we did the wives for that little little boy to. experience such horror they had
6:13 am
the adage of only a couple of these oh that was one of the most harrowing to be remembered and description of saying saying that to. the whole little boy with what you described such an a thing that stuck with me and. i wouldn't want any child. to come to come across things like that not. a day has passed this week without a fresh exchange of threats between washington and pyongyang over north korea's latest military maneuvers. they will be met with fire fury. ready did it to state that. maybe it wasn't so fed up. this rhetoric between the two leaders has people making some rather colorful
6:14 am
comparisons as a couple things. when donald trump threaten north korea with fire and fury everyone online apparently had the same thought game of thrones. this could be one of the rarest in the united states. they will be met with a five year period. like the world has their first. 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 will give them the quote and they tell us was it was it kim jong un
6:15 am
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 all right arm. terri will be given the resources that its brave warriors richly deserved. came. right. i will not allow the mistakes of the recent decades to define the course of our future. came through and. i'm just going to go with donald trump again
6:16 am
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 of their own. game with their own. direct your enemies steals and murders your children. came to donald trump to be. ok with him. it's game of thrones. the great he's here. it is already international the confrontation between it washington and pyongyang has provoked some negative international reaction russia says the risks of war are high beijing 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 to the problem
6:17 am
exposed told us kim jong un should tone down the rhetoric. what 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 and start 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 and these folks and and try to get them to talk reasonably rather than being bombastic all the time and creating tensions it's often international and your weekly continues in just a moment. lead

elected the businessman to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. thanks for joining us a group in the u.k. calling itself the muslim council has been stirring controversy this week members attended an l g b t parade in london on tuesday held up by those denouncing islam and accusing muslims of homophobia in particular they blame the east london mosque for promoting hatred towards homosexuality and according to the group this mosque quote has a long history of posting hate preachers in response the east london mosque accuse the group of feeding anti islamic hysteria the ex muslim council refuses to apologize saying it doesn't need anyone's permission to march for l g b t rights
6:20 am
while here on the channel we heard contrasting views on this. a true to ghent people is always wrong with muslim or anyone else but criticizing bigoted intolerant ideas is entirely right and proper i hold the likes of peter who i have a lot of respect for the human rights over the years he's deeply misguided that what he supports an organization that has made it mission to demonize islam and the religious belief of muslims in this country around the world many of us who are marching or individuals from muslim heritage so i myself am a british pakistani who grew up as individual in a muslim this is my community i have no interest in galvanizing hate against muslims because i will be subjected to that same hate this group was targeting islam must homophobia it wasn't targeting muslim people or even islam in general
6:21 am
the council of muslims has never criticized or condemned muslim people it is only condemned and criticized is the most extremists who advocate hatred and violence against the people if these people have left islam and that's their right let's accept that they got a right to live there why are they constantly obsess about islam they need to get a life move on enjoy their life and their new freedom as they tell is asking us to leave the religion and then be silent about. kin across the world who are being victimized by muslim states is a request they are rampant islam or for big organization they are responsible for promoting hatred against muslims now let's just say that is there a council of christians is there a council of use a council of x. induce a council of x x where religion is legislating against people like gays we were
6:22 am
challenged and we were challenging. i would challenge for ways holding signs provoke thought provoking save a move to use discussion and dialogue. fresh concerns being voiced about voter fraud in the united states in fact in the state of california alone it's the most several counties had more registered voters than eligible adults according to a report by the conservative foundation judicial watch which aims to fight for accountability and integrity in lore and politics of particular concern was that of los angeles county now back in june county officials acknowledged there were forty four percent more voters than there should be under such circumstances it means california's failed to comply with the voter registration requirements in fact judicial watch has warned the california or thora to use could face legal action if they don't take immediate action it is urgent that california take reasonable steps
6:23 am
to clean up its rules we will have state officials fail to act however california is not the only region with the problem they watchdog twenty six days in the same issue in eleven other states the topic all voter fraud has generated plenty of air time for the us news networks. the fiction that millions of illegal votes were cast in the two thousand and sixteen election it is impure glee stunning allegation for which the white house is providing no evidence of people registered in two states they registered in new york and in new jersey they vote twice you mean voter fraud california allow i believe there was not a for a us state senator we spoke to says that there can be no denying there is a huge problem. this is a stunning number first of all your dish your watches are highly respected organization and they have compared the voting record with the
6:24 am
number of voting age medicines or there are far more people voting then there are people who are eligible to vote and so the system is all of a corrupted it's got a combination some of them are people who have died some of them are non set aside and some of them are illegal there's some way you know illegal immigrants were being permitted to vote president trump has made the statement that he believes that literally a couple of no you know he cast. votes i tend to agree with him even though in virginia now virginia is better than some states and yet i know for a fact that there is a great deal of voter fraud it is out international and your weekly continues in about half an hour's time with my colleague you know neil thanks for joining us.
6:25 am
little blog still of you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles of the a. few stops by to tell you to be gossiping toddlers. on the rocks and i see you are not. like. all the hawks that we are a lot or would like. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the fight merry go
6:27 am
funny welcome to all is a part of the election of donald trump has polarized american society in many ways including in its attitudes towards clever and what's appropriate trying to supporters still see him as a shrewd smart deal breaker this salt of the earth while his critics describe him as the ultimate in the ramos worthy of nothing but contempt is there any middle ground between the two to discuss that i'm now joined by lawrence krauss as theoretical physicists and cosmologists as well as a merciless critic of donald trump mr krauss it's great to talk to you thank you very much it's true it's great to be here i think i'm a merciful where to go from that number to look at what the notes are too kind to him let's talk about that but. a short while a little bit later because i want to ask you first about russia i know that many
6:28 am
people in the united states believe that russian. just two sides of the same coin but i beg to differ so i want to bring what brings you here to this country i came here for this amazing geek festival the to talk to thousands of people about so it's been an amazing experience like i'm just overwhelmed with the reaction and the response and the fact that people seem to really appreciate what i'm talking about absolutely you have a very big following here and i'm saying that. also a certain degree of pain because. it's become increasingly difficult to bring people like yourself i'm just a taste of this country primarily because of the tensions between russia and the west have you had any do you have any hesitations about coming here. no the only only this station i had was the difficulty of getting a visa frankly i wanted to visit russia for a long time because it's so different or seem so different that it was it was there was some tension but i've been here many many years ago and i want to see how
6:29 am
things change absolutely you actually wrote on twitter that the last time you were here was sixty seven half a century ago and i assume visiting moscow baghdad was far more extravagant for a foreign there yeah you know especially young person i was wondering what i was thirteen years old what was the fiftieth anniversary of the revolution first of all and i wanted to i wanted to see what it was all about it was a very different society and it was amazing how did you manage to organize it because i don't think they gave it all it wasn't wasn't easy but there was a i came with a group of students and and we and the group of students was taking care of very well and i have very vivid memories. of that and also how different it is now. you mentioned that it is different now but i wonder if you had any feeling of because many in the united states believe that the russians at just the same as the soviets yeah no i think that you know that kind of ridiculousness is just the experience of people who don't travel.
