9:06 am
a long time in our country not donald trump not barack obama. it's been going on for a long long time if the k.k.k. car team were going to there to start a fight shame on them if they were 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 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 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 investigate them and punish them accordingly before we leap to
9:07 am
a conclusion as to what may have happened amidst the violence in virginia many continue to blame it on deep divisions within american society and increasingly polarized politics. it's about you and i do we stand divided. what about what i cut out of it i try to respect the people who got it. the democrats. one of the reasons i won the election is very very divided nation. 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
9:08 am
joined us law makes they but have not been killed or fled after mosul is liberation leaving their children behind. mosul was 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 get them to. school just. so. these harrowing words touched people's hearts my heart broke watching this story will make a humble but on
9:09 am
a slipping 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 lead his recognized him by his eyes clearly let me give you. then there's five year old who deja and 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 their grandfather he says a seven year old girl living next door to him recognized fatima and her deja from
9:10 am
a video and that he can't wait to see his beloved grandchildren. again. desert and these are. pretty rocky. to put. their lucky dejah they're old enough to speak. in this. thing is important. but what about the many orphaned 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 believes she recognized her grandson in our video by his
9:11 am
eyes. some are completely different you cannot exclude. station national compassion because. there are forty eight russian speaking youths in iraq orphanages that we know of and that's nowhere near all of them will continue visiting iraq often edges and documenting the children there in the hope that after all their pain and loss these young souls can be reunited with their relatives back home relatives who desperately love them or i guess the. from dagestan russia. as we saw murat's report we received a letter from mark johnson on a street in who has offered to adopt a child whose relatives cannot be found we asked him what's behind his the seven.
9:12 am
it was very soon as i read it i mean croyle and army were comics though think about . it was would very destroy the poor children. in despair. you could still say it's of them being children but. it shouldn't be should be happy to have them is read about friends and family the same while the parents of the boy like you just live in the big big pot of an opal situation and these children shouldn't believe it when i when i got a voice over the east all around with the pair of. clothes they were all. and the day the wife. of the little little boy who. experienced horror and this is the end of only a couple of years old that was one of the most harrowing bits that i remember all
9:13 am
and his description of saying saying the person dog the i do through all this little boy was i would describe such in the way that stuck with me and. i would never want to follow. the company come across things like that well. early 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 fury. ready. to state. maybe it wasn't so. well a confrontation between the two military powers house of course provoked
9:14 am
a lot of international reaction while russia say's the risks of war are high china warned against playing with fire over north korea some u.s. allies also stressed they're not supporting the escalation germany sees a harsh exchange of words is not the correct response while the u.k. stress that this situation should only be dealt with through the un on the list told us. should 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 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
9:15 am
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 however at home trumps approval rating received a boost the made the tough talk with north korea his popularity jumped six points after he warned pyongyang would face replications one reason why aggressive rhetoric is popular in the u.s. it may be because polls show that over sixty percent of americans view north korea as a very serious threat but can they actually find the threat on them up and asked new yorkers. 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 need but you do appear
9:16 am
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. out. 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'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 wow korea. southeast asia that's cambodia that's. ok so it's here that's australia you're
9:17 am
someone that's 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 korea right there you go you've got it there you are like it's close somewhere yeah 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 mopping r.t. new york more of the world's news this week in ninety seconds.
9:18 am
seems wrong. just don't. get to say power to stay active. and in the game. trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
