a genuine war. with the top stories from the past seven days on the latest developments as well your welcome to the weekly here on our to international our top story violent street brawls turn to tragedy in the u.s. state of virginia with one person killed and dozens injured on saturday it all happened on a far right over the removal of confederate heritage from the small city of charlottesville where a car rammed into a group of country protesters the drivers being arrested charged with second degree murder a warning the following video is graphic. thank

you. ran down oh. sorry ok we're ok there's a room ready but we'll. try to get oh. it was intentional the crack was open that it was going to be 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 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 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 protesters to counter protesters here in the city. thank you gerri. but we started out 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 assembly is that 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 virginia national guard with also here as well well the main reason for saturday's the right march was the authorities plans to remove a confederate statue renamed to local parks at least fifteen people were injured in the ensuing violence scores arrested pepper spray makeshift weapons were used in

brawls between far right demonstrators on counter protesters in a separate incident a police helicopter which was monitoring the rally crushed outside the tongue killing two officers the u.s. president 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 if the 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 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 best to get them and punish them accordingly before we leap to a conclusion as to what may have happened. when it's the violence in virginia many continue to blame it on deep divisions within american society an increasingly polarized politics. it's about you united we stand divided. about what i cut out of it i try. to cut it. democrat.

one of the reasons i won the election is very very divided nation. moving on this week r.t. launched a campaign to help bring russian speaking children stuck out an orphanage in iraq back home they were reportedly smuggled into the country by their parents who joined this law make state but have now been killed or fled after mosul's liberation leaving their children behind. mosul was a night man charnel house that orphaned generations not just iraq he's 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. these harrowing words touched people's hearts my heart broke watching this 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. in mixed with the messages of support that we received claims from alleged relatives think little league his recognized him by his eyes clearly let me give you that.

even. 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 a video and that he can't wait to see his beloved grandchildren. again. desert and these are. pretty rocky. they're lucky deja

believe they're old enough to speak. this. morning. 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 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 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 more i guess the of. from dagestan russia. early a day pass this week without a fresh exchange of threats between washington and pyongyang and work north korea's latest military maneuvers. they will be met. by your. body again but to state that. maybe it wasn't tough enough.

when all the kind of rhetoric between the two leaders has led to some colorful comparisons as caleb maupin explains. when donald trump threaten north korea with fire and fury everyone online apparently had the same thought game of thrones. north korea. best not to be one of threats to 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 or was it game of thrones the days are gone forever when our enemies could blackmail us came 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 our military will be given the resources that its brave warriors richly deserved. to. control them came of their own can join them. down a trail right now that's donald trump i will not allow the mistakes of the recent decades to define the course of our future. came through and donald trump

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 within our striking range a game of their own game of thrones. game with their own spin. on direct your enemies steals and murders your children. kim jong un donald trump be. able to draw. it's game of thrones. i agree. with a confrontation between the two military powers has all of course provoked a lot of international reaction while russia say's the risks of war are high and china warned trump against playing with fire over north korea some u.s. allies have also stressed they're not supporting any escalation germany says

a harsh exchange of words is not the correct response while the u.k. insists that the situation should only be dealt with through the u.n. some analysts we spoke to believe that the u.s. and north korea should change their policy. i don't see the plus in these threats were we getting something in return from these president's threats i don't see it i've never seen that tension so high in the korean peninsula i'm extremely concerned i hope the president's advisors rein him in general kelly you know the new chief of staff he's got to tell the president you can't conduct foreign policy the way you're doing with words with fiery words i think the north koreans have put forth look we will stop our missile tests if you stop your war games we've been doing war games on that and insulin for fifty or sixty years from now so what good does it to walk away from that entry point into negotiations other than the fact

that the united states simply does not want to really enter into negotiations is not why we only want negotiations where the negotiating entry point is the north korean surrender this tricks of a saudi tongue are reduced to rubble as authorities hunt down terrorists the locals say it's just their way of driving the shia community more and on top of this short break. in case you're new to the game this is how it works in our economy is built around court. confirmation from washington to washington post media the media. voters elect me to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done.

what the pope says to do so. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. some wanted. to go right to the pros this is what the three of them would be good. interested always in the water. welcome back fresh concern has been voiced the bud voter fraud in the us in the state of california it's emerged several counties had more registered voters than

eligible adults know about is according to report by the conservative judicial watch which aims to fight for accountability and integrity in law and politics of particular concern was los angeles county back in june county officials knowledge there were forty four percent more voters down there should be under such circumstances it means california has failed to comply with the voter registration requirements judicial watch has worn off the california authorities could face legal action if they don't take immediate action it is urgent that california take reasonable steps to clean up its rules will she with state officials fail to act or over california is not the only region with the problem the watchdog highlighted in twenty sixteen the same issue in eleven others states the topic of voter fraud has generated plenty of her time for the u.s.

news networks. the fiction that millions of illegal votes were cast in the two thousand and sixteen election it is in pure glee a stunning allegation for which the white house is providing no evidence to the people registered in two states they registered in new york and in new jersey they vote you mean voter fraud california allow i believe there was not a for a us state senator we spoke to say yes there can be no denying there's 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 number of voting medicines there are far more voting and there are people who are eligible to vote and so the system as all of us great corrupt 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 you know legal there are some way you go 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's a great owner brought. to your attention to the middle east not a syrian pro-government forces on their allies have fully liberated the ton of in the east of the country from islamic state it fell into the hands of jihad us back in may twenty fifth danger in the same bottle when isel cup should palmira for the first time russia's defense minister says the liberation of paves the way to advance on the critical hot spot city of terrorists. i'm going to post the today that everyone is ready to fight and today there was to teach locations such

as do a resume which i would call a priority. have been courageously defending it for years now while food medicine. to them deliberation of the city would be a point in the defeat of my sink. our teeth video news agency film this exclusive footage inside the last of this law makes the stronghold in the holmes region it's just some fifty kilometers from the border with terrorists who were province which is still mostly under isel control. explains the significance of the. syrian war geography the south east as where the color coded key is least complicated government controlled red vs eisel held the black divided by won't long desert front line and it's just shifted to the right of a town called no.

there's plenty to celebrate for these protests through their commanders saving. edges them closer to their ultimate goal and this part of syria dare as zoar where one to two hundred thousand people are completely surrounded by islamic state and a few more months the siege will have been ongoing for three years. as yet more on that ballet it and even a bit as isis terrorists raided our house my thirteen year old cousin was staying with us i hid her in a water tank. so that the terrorist didn't take her as a slave it was obvious that it is the situation in there is or is catastrophic

terrorist from iraq execute civilians in the streets and leave bodies lying there for up to five days i secretly drove my sons out of the city otherwise isis militants would recruit them by force inject psychotropic substances and gives them a suicide bomb and. civilians don't have access to regular good to commodities to services planes aren't always able to reach their lives or iraqi power should the equipment or the food which is needed for the many civilians and trapped inside the city and the soldiers who are fighting on the front lines in strategic terms is the last stop on the way to deir ez-zor province taking control of this province will mean wiping out i sold impromptu or production no more cash for the terrorists from all supernal the government troops can also push to the north and if they can we night with fellow soldiers in the rocket province isis forces will end up kettle in the

geographical heart of syria certainly is definitely the beginning of the absolute end of isis in syria where there are definitely two potentiality of a subcommittee is only fifty kilometers away from that is or retaking that particular city is of vital importance to actually reopening the route on the road to the resort now the other option is to actually link up with the forces coming in from the northwest now that would create a huge pocket of remaining isis forces i think the army will potentially link up with what's left of the other forces and at the same time they will push for their daughter in the quickest to form a new way possible we've seen the syrian army gaining ground and then relinquishing some tough lessons in war geography have been learned those trapped in the arizona can breathe momentarily with relief but there's still

a long way to go. and you can join the debate on any of those stories on our t.v. dot com an old new content being uploaded as well on our twitter page. so i know you're not. giving up as well i must. get off on.

one of the. yes it will be. the few. every the you. know. the old according to jeff.

live live . there. are. tons of welcome to all the parts the election of donald trump has polarized american society in many ways including in its attitudes towards clever and what's appropriate trial supporters still see him as this truth smart deal breaker this

salt of the earth while his critics describe him as the ultimate in the ram as 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 i've been up for to kind of 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 people in the united states believe that russians. are 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 fair

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 scientists say to 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 had was the difficulty of getting a visa frankly i wanted to 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 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 back then was far more extravagant for a foreign there yeah special young person i was but i was thirteen years old what was the fiftieth anniversary of the revolution first of all and i wanted to i wanted to see.
