8:11 am
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. some are completely different you cannot exclude. station national compassion. there are forty eight russian speaking youths in iraq orphanages 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 iraqi orphanages and documented in the children there in the hope that after their
8:12 am
pain and loss these young souls can be reunited with their relatives back home relatives who desperately love them more i guess. from dagestan russia. barely a day 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. leave it to state. maybe it wasn't so. rhetoric between the two leaders how those people making some rather colorful comparisons have not been explained when donald trump threaten north korea with
8:13 am
fire and fury everyone online apparently had the same thought game of thrones. this is what the rest of the united states. they will be met with five years as. like the world has never seen. 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 we'll give them the quote and they tell us was it was it kim jong un
8:14 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 it's kim jong un ok all right. i try to know as many people as i can you never know which one you'll need. to troll also donald trump donald trump donald trump game of thrones you're correct that is game of the yes all right arm. military will be given the resources that its brave warriors richly deserved. to. control them came of their own can join them. right. i will not allow the mistakes of the recent decades to define the course of our future. came through and. donald trump i'm just going to go with donald trump again that's correct and you're right you're right we can keep any cesspool of evils in the earth including them
8:15 am
within our striking range game of thrones came for its. game with all its can john on its direct your enemies steals and murders your children. kim jong un donald trump be. game of thrones them kind of troll it's game of thrones. the great he's here. the confrontation between washington and pyongyang has of course provoked lots of international reaction while russia say the risks of war are high beijing warned trump against playing with fire over north korea china other that it would protect its regional neighbor in the event of a u.s. strike germany also believes that escalation is the wrong answer to the problem we spoke to analysts who to list trump. should done the rhetoric but this can't be
8:16 am
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 is 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 in these folks and and try to get them to talk reasonably rather than being bombastic all the time and creating tensions on the tourists u.s. security firm coals to privatized the afghan war we've got details that after this .

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. some say that war is a rocket's well the founder of the notorious private security firm blackwater suggested the u.s. should privatized its war effort in afghanistan erik prince believes the move would save lives taxpayers' money. they would be contracted people professionals former special special operations veterans that have experience in that theater to go do that work which would be profiting from the war. well we're not there now but any vendor again that solves that solution that's that's capitalism that's that's what
8:19 am
it's about well over a ten year period blackwater made around two billion dollars out of the u.s. government most about came after it secured a contract bonanza following the two thousand and three invasion of iraq the firm gained notoriety over the conduct of its armed forces the company was rebranded and sold after four of its employees started out a must secure in baghdad in two thousand and seven here's a reminder of what happened back then. and i wonder if there are. there were dead bodies everywhere in the city. among the dead bodies lying on the street that's. seven years old of.

both iraq and american found that most of the civilian deaths were unjustified it took nearly eight years hope legal wrangling for justice to be served all the guards to open fire that day four were found guilty and sentenced to lengthy prison terms but now an american federal appeals court has overturned the first degree murder conviction of one of the guards and recommended three others for resentencing citing the punishments as cruel and unusual we tracked down some of the people who were in baghdad on the day of the killings whose lives were changed forever. i was working for the post office magadan on the sixteenth of september two thousand and seven i was delivering post to a police department in central baghdad and i saw blackwater contractors open fire randomly on civilians i was wounded as a result of the shooting and my hat this wound is a result of the actions of blackwater contractors it still hurts and i still
