and north korea fears of a catastrophic escalation. is the weekly here on r.t. internationally mean a day or two day that's all round up of the week's top stories and up to date news welcome to the program we start with. seventeen people have been killed in a mass shooting that the government is describing as a terrorist attack at least three. restaurant in the capital. around nine pm on sunday soldiers were called to the scene and a shootout followed lasting several hours officials in the west african nation have said one of the victims was a french citizen and another was turkish eight of the survivors are injured the military has sealed off the city center and some of the gunman may still be at large the incident. similarities to

a massacre in general terms of sixteen when islamic extremists killed thirty people at a restaurant and a hotel. one person has killed and dozens injured on saturday in charlottesville virginia when a man rammed his car into a group of people who were protesting against a white nationalist rally the driver has been charged with second degree murder and a warning now there was some disturbing images coming up. thank. you. so.

far. world there's room ready to. try to get. intentional tears to where we are right now here at the scene of the attack just behind me is where it occurred i think that the atmosphere here right now is are a but also hopeful everyone that we've talked to has talked about the community here in charlottesville that it's very much so more like a family and that they will pull together and they have all been condemning the hate that happened yesterday most people do feel that those that were committing the violence yesterday were more out of towners than white people from here and they said this is a very peaceful town i have with me the headline of 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. this attack did occur while the city was still under a state of emergency there was a heavy police presence here but then the burgeoning national guard also here in the town of course it's been condemned nationwide quoting from the president he did say that all parties must be held responsible a comment that many people have attacked saying that he should have been more specific it's very clear who was responsible for the violence in the city the organized the unite the right launch time to told a press conference he was continuously booed from the moment he appeared before the

crowd and ultimately his microphone was hijacked. very. sorry for. saturday's launch began as a protest against the removal of a confederate general statue at least fifteen people were injured in the ensuing clashes and dozens of arrested pepper spray battens and makeshift weapons were used in the fighting in a separate incident a police helicopter which was monitoring the valley crossed outside the city killing two offices president thomas national security adviser condemned the call running as an act of terrorism where terrorism is is the use of violence to incite terror and fear and of course it was terrors 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 k.k.k. car 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 baby guilty of what offenses investigate them and punish them accordingly

before we leap to a conclusion as to what may have happened. amidst the violence in virginia and many continue to blame it on deep divisions within the american society an increasingly polarized politics. by spitta by you and i do we stand divided people but i but i got to get out of it i try to respect the people who got it. the democrats think. one of the reasons i won the election is a very very divided nation. this week launched a campaign to helping russian speaking children stranded at an orphanage in iraq

back home it's believed they were smuggled into the country by their parents and joined islamic state but have not been killed or jailed after mosul's liberation leaving their children behind. mosul was a nightmare 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 turn them in. 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 were claims from alleged relatives think little league. 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 want to look at us third grade dessert and her. tears were open. to her. they're lucky dejah believe they're old enough to speak. this is. a. thing of foreign. companies always. 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 as someone completely different economic. station national compassion a picture. there are forty eight russian speaking youths in iraq orphanages that we know of and that's no way near all of them will continue visiting iraqi orphanages 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. barely a day passed this week without a fresh exchange of threats between the united states and north korea. they will be met. by.

if it's a state. maybe it was unfair. only this rhetoric between the two leaders has led to some colorful comparisons ask a little open 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 of. life 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 trump 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 deserve. to. control them game of thrones 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 of game of thrones character and. game of thrones script and john direct your enemies steals and murders your children. kim jong un donald trump be. able to. game of thrones. the great. the conversation between the two military powers has of course provoked

a lot of international reaction while russia says the risks of war a high china won't trump against playing with fire over north korea some u.s. allies have also stressed they're not supporting the escalation germany says a harsh exchange of words isn't 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 both 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 the 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 peninsula 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 one we only want negotiations where the negotiating entry point is the north korean surrender. saudi arabia's military is continuing the demolition of a small town in time districts have been reduced to rubble supposedly in hunt for gunmen responsible for attacks on police residents tell us what's behind the operation now for their voices to be disguised. no the shooting. the shelling but i think it's good. to start three tanks against civilians who are. known to days now well.

your. city has. no street nobody's out because sure. do shoot everybody in the street. i'm sure more like a war sure it's not. sure. i can see it. so i wouldn't want her. on to shoot. or recalls the biggest city in my country you. know i go when no one out one wants to go however the local mess says the bulldozers on the streets have nothing to do with fighting he says that clearing the air it to make way for new infrastructure he

also claimed that most locals want to see the neighborhoods redeveloped alamy a has a population of around twenty five thousand people is predominantly shia and is mostly opposed to the sunni van government it was the hometown of the executed in. the matter as a critic of the country's rulers over the way they treat the shiite minority given the ethnic background locals claim the renovation plans are simply an attempt to drive the lout. government. fashion. vacation is just a. cover for how to susan. thank you i actually am. you can wear my question actually. bigger much time. to be completely. true to government standards the months long crackdown has claimed its youngest victim

a boy who died from his injuries. of my family. and i want me and i lost my students and friends. in the assault. on the city a child was shot by the saudi special forces and he doubts that he was shot in the car is this family the so-called sorry renovations began in the spring and have been aided with the use of western equipment canadian military vehicles for example are involved as we see here we are looking at these claims very seriously and have immediately launched a review saudi arabia's calloused second biggest arms bya the u.s. and u.k.

also routinely sell billions of dollars worth of equipment to the kingdom which has repeatedly been accused of human rights violations and activists told us about the destruction of our mia. two thousand and eleven zero army air was. one of the strongest. calling for reforms calling for more rights in saudi arabia not only for even for sunni's i will dare the government to invite independent investigation of what's happening to interview these twenty thousand who have been displaced not to select some members who they know what would they say then they will to the government narrative. some say that war is a racket well that sentiment has only strengthened after the founder of it or his private security firm blackwater suggested the u.s. should privatized its war effort in afghanistan erik prince believes the new would

save lives and taxpayers' money there 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. we're not there now but any vendor again that solves that solution that's that's capitalism that's that's what it's about over a ten year period blackwater made around two billion dollars out of the u.s. government most of that came after its security contract bonanza following the two thousand and three invasion of iraq the firm gained notoriety of its conduct of its armed forces the company was rebranded and sold after four of its employees carried out a massacre in baghdad in two thousand and seven here's a reminder of what happened back then. i now wonder if.

they were dead bodies everywhere or the city's arguments going badly with t.v. for me and saw it among the dead bodies lying on the street that summer league next seven years ago and i. live. about what to find his proposal to privatized the war in afghanistan comes as the legal battle over those killings in baghdad continues in u.s. courts daniel holkins reports from iraq. the two thousand and seven news source

square massacre in baghdad became one of the dog chapters of the iraq war seventeen iraqis lost their lives with nearly twenty more wounded in an incident where private security guards from blackwater now rebranded academy opened indiscriminate fire into crowds of civilians after a bush official investigations 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 they for 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 close to the 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 haven't fully recovered. on the sixteenth of september two thousand and seven we came under fire next in the source square now we've heard that those responsible are going to be released i'm calling on every country in the world it's unfair i was wounded in both legs and several people were murdered we know that justice and law are respected in the us we are calling on all countries to interfere in this situation the scars are not only physical hussein lost his

brother in the gunfire he is in disbelief that real justice may once again if aid to victims of the massacre. when i reached the square there was horrible around cars were burning blood and bullets were everywhere i was looking for my brother among the wounded but he was already in hospital by the time i reached him he was already dead two days ago i heard they want to release these criminals from blackwater i hope that the u.s. court will not release them because they are criminals they murdered fourteen people my brother was only twenty four he was working hard to support our elderly parents our family still suffers greatly with the humanity we are all human rights how can the u.s. court acquit those criminals and release them on what grounds in a case that sparked outrage across the arab world many of the victims now feel that closure for them may be a search for a way as ever after that fateful day in the source square holkins for r.t.

iraq. r.t. has spoken to a palestinian father and his son who say they were brutally beaten by israeli police in east jerusalem they described the video of the incident which shortly afterwards on live. i mean that if the whole field of me to open a neighbor's house without any reason i replied that this is not my house and i do not have the key to it he still yelling at me and at the same time ordered the soldiers accompanying him to break my hands. there. was no sign of them it was that sometimes i can show you our national treasure however. there were five to six people they were employees of the special forces they attacked me twisted my hands behind my back and began to beat me. at her.

whenever she should go toward her. and they beat me hold on the head sharply twisted my right hand behind my back and started to beat it insistently so that my elbow was friendship. abbott and his fifteen year old son told us that after being beaten they were taken to a play station and how to for two days. they forced us into a car and drove to the police station they kept beating and insulting us during the right at the station they confiscated our clothes one officer asked me to stand near wall and smash my head against a two car fingerprints my father away i was kept at the station for two days for the head. but we didn't explain why they had beaten us we didn't. mind some didn't think. the incident comes amid growing concern over israel's

treatment of palestinians in east jerusalem human rights watch warns the practice of removing residency may be a war crime the rights group has issued a report criticizing the practice in recent decades israel has shipped over fourteen thousand palestinians of their residency permits human rights watch says that residency guarantees civil rights for palestinians so when the permits and revote they're forced to leave their homes the work crime in question is the forcible deportation of the occupied of the protected population. is part of the occupy territory here we're not talking about people forced to leave their home at that point to god we're talking about policies that in fact forced people to eat israel says the right to live in east jerusalem is usually removed when the city is

no longer a person's main place of residence in recent years palestinians have also been stripped of their rights for attacking israelis and also as a punishment against relatives of suspected attackers. and we have a quick update on the cafe attack in kenya faso now officials claim two attackers have now been killed however there are still some people remaining in the building seventeen people have been killed in a mass shooting which the government's called a terrorist attack at least three gunmen stormed a turkish restaurant in the capital dooku at around nine pm on sunday soldiers were called to the scene and a shootout lasting several hours followed officials in the west african nation of said one of the victims was a french citizen and another was turkish eight people were injured the military has sealed off the city center now amid fears gunman could still be at large the incident bears similarities to a massacre in jenin.
