you. for the folks who are over there is room ready but he will. try to get out. it was intentional they cracked open that he was going to intentionally 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 up 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 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 carol. totally up to her to talk that way to talk to. the governor of virginia also spoke about the tack 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 is 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 and 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. both suffered these clashes in charlottesville have become one of the bloodiest incidents to date so

over the removal of a confederate monument pepper spray on makeshift weapons were used in brawls between far right demonstrators contra protests more than thirty people were injured scores arrested in a separate incident a police helicopter that was monitoring the rally crushed outside baton killing two officers u.s. president meantime has voiced his concern over the standoff in virginia. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many shots on many sides 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 at the moment when the fascist protestors were about to attack the factory into 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 the police i think the police in charlottesville a police department that's been riddled with racism stood aside because of probably a lot of them support be 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. this week r.t. 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 sell but have either been killed or fled after most of the liberation leaving their children behind. mosul

was a nightmare charnel house the orphaned generations not just iraq. take the baghdad shelter that we filmed here leave the children of i still victims together with the children of i still fight has. only. just took. them from my own will but. these harrowing words touched people's hearts my heart broke watching this story will make a humble but on this living will. gladly provide for those children should the remain displaced it's nice country here in australia and the children will be loved . in mixed with the messages of support that we received claims from

alleged relatives take little league his recognized him by his eyes. that. then there's five year old who d.j. and three year old fatima their parents joined i sell two years ago and were killed in a drone strike in june tells us their grandfather he says a seven year old girl living next door to him recognized fatima and her deja from a video and that he can't wait to see his beloved grandchildren again for the desert and her.

sisters were ok. to put. their lucky digit lead they're old enough to speak to her because. this is. current. kinds of ways. but what about the many orphan children to young to speak much less know their names even if their relatives know them it is only from photographs as an example one woman. she recognised her grandson in the video by his eyes some computer you cannot.

question. there are foods he ate russian speaking youths in iraq often ages that we know of and that's nowhere near all of them as many as a thousand kids were taken from here russia's republic of dagestan alone and it's frightening to imagine what they had been through seeing enough devastation and suffering to break an adult which is why i will continue visiting iraq often edges and documented in the children there in the hope that after their pain and loss these young souls can be reunited with their relatives back home relatives who desperately love them more i guess. from dagestan brushing. up mention there we received a letter from mark johnson on

a street in his offer to adopt a child whose relatives can be found we asked him what's behind his decision it was heart wrenching i. think about. it was. very. in despair. you can still say. it shouldn't. be happening to. the. parents of. their. to be caught up in ohio situation and that is jordan shouldn't be. when i when i got the boys i was. a very. close they're all. and he did so why the little little boy. experience.

of only a couple of years old that was one of the most harrowing beats that i remember and his description of saying saying the person. who threw all this little boy was i would describe such in the way that stopped within and. i would never want to follow. the company. that well. i barely a day pass this week without a fresh exchange of threats between washington and pyongyang over north korea's latest military maneuvers. they will be met with. yet again it's a state. maybe it wasn't tough enough.

the confrontation between the two military powers has provoked negative international reaction while russia says the risks of war are high china warned trump against playing with fire over north korea china added them it would protect its regional neighbor in the event of a u.s. strike germany also believes that escalation is the wrong response experts told us trump king john moon 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 or red home trumps approval rating receive the boost that made the tough talk with north korea his popularity jump six points after he warned pyongyang would face repercussions one reason why trump's aggressive rhetoric is popular in the u.s. maybe because polls show over sixty percent of americans view north korea as a very serious threat but can they actually find the threat on them up artie's came up and went on the streets of new york to find. 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 it's becoming more of a bravado and any time you're dealing with them in

a country that's led by your irrational dictator i think you know even you to appear 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. and it's that southeast asia that's you know that's like vietnam. man mark there you go yeah that's that's north i knew that she would get it when you find north korea on this map of the world her all that's australia actual oh well north 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 ok with mop and r.t. new york the news continues right after this.

it's called the feeling of. every the world should experience the ego and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to just. come along for the ride. global warming are selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that will. produce socks for the tell you that will be gossip the tabloids are files of the most important day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product.
