1:03 pm
a local newspaper here and there's a very intense picture you can see people were thrown up in the air during the attack as the car plowed down the street people were coming counter protesters were coming up to this alleyway when a car came down through the alleyway plowing through the crowd ripping through the crowd of protesters as you mentioned one woman did lose her life in the attack a thirty two year old heather haier of course the driver of the car fled the scene but he has been i rested and identified as twenty year old james fields of ohio he is now being charged with second degree murder for the death of heather there were also nineteen more people injured in that attack at this point there are still five people in critical condition. in this attack did occur while the city was still under a state of emergency there was a heavy police presence here but the virginia national guard also here in the town of course it's been condemned nationwide quoting from the president he did say that

1:05 pm
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. 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
1:06 pm
before we leap to 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. by spitta by you and i do we stand divided people but i've got to try to respect the people who planted. the democratic leader. one of the reasons i won the election is very very divided nation. and this we can't he lost a campaign to help bring russian speaking children stuck in an orphanage in iraq back home they were reportedly smuggled into the country by their parents who
1:07 pm
joined islamic state but have since been killed or fled following mosul's 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 turn them. off school just. like. 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
1:08 pm
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 take little league. let me give you that. even. then there's five year old who d.j. 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 more than
1:09 pm
a desert and his church. if you're a hero. to me. they're lucky a d.j. or a levy they're old enough to speak. in . foreign. countries ways. 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
1:10 pm
exclude. station national compassion picture. 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 r.t. from dagestan russia. well as mentioned we did receive a letter from mark johnson an australian who has offered to adopt a child whose relatives can be found we asked him what's behind his decision. it was. soon as i read it i would cry and i mean we were promised they'll think about
1:11 pm
. their laws would very destroy the poor children. in despair. you could still say it's of them being children but it shouldn't be but it should be happy to have them is read about friends and family. the same while the parents abuse the items and just let the bit there be a pot of an opal situation and these children should invade it one of what i hope they got the boys i would be the east all around with a pair of. clothes they're all. and the day the wife. of the little that little boy who. experienced horrors and this is the end of only a couple of years old that was one of the most harrowing beats that i remember and
1:12 pm
his description of saying the same the person dog at the end of story all this little boy was i would describe such in the way that stuck with me and. i would never want to be shallow. become to come across things like that. early a day passed over the last week without a fresh exchange of threats between washington and pyongyang over north korea's latest minute military maneuvers. they will be met with fury. ready. to state. maybe it wasn't tough enough. the confrontation between the two nuclear powers has of course provoked a lot of international reaction russia says that the risks of war high in china
1:13 pm
warned against quote playing with fire over north korea some u.s. allies also stressed they're not supporting the escalation germany says that a harsh exchange of words isn't the correct response the u.k. stressed that the situation should only be dealt with through the un analysts told us that trump and kim jong il 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 a total disaster an arms race right on the peninsula even china does not want that
1:14 pm
that's why we need to tone down this rhetoric corral in these folks and and try to get them to talk reasonably rather than being bombastic all the time and creating tensions over at home trying to prevent rating received a boost amid the tough talk with north korea his popularity jumped six points after he warned pyongyang would face repercussions one reason why troubles aggressive rhetoric is popular in the u.s. maybe because polls show that more than sixty percent of americans view north korea as a very serious threat but can they actually find the threat on them up on the scale of morpeth asked new yorkers. i'm not scared of of north korea i'm not scared but i'm scared of our leaders are in many countries and how they are 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 know even you to
1:15 pm
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. that's that's southeast asia that's you know that's like vietnam. man mark there you go yeah that that's that's north i knew that she would get it and you find north korea on this map of the world all that's australia actual oh well north korea. southeast asia that's cambodia that's. ok so it's here that's australia you're someone that's saudi arabia forget me i'm hopeless it's for
1:16 pm
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. city in pro-government fools who celebrate the liberation of a king town in the east of the come to tell you all about it after the break.
