and the e.u. migration commission. to get tough. headlines for a monday live here. from all of us here a very warm welcome to you. tensions between rival pro free speech on anti hate rallies have boiled over in the u.s. city of seattle police moved in with pepper spray and stun grenades to disperse the protesters.

a conservative rally was organized by a pro trump group called patriot. builders a supporter of free speech it was confronted by counter protesters who were shouting insults before rod police looked at. a group of demonstrators attempted to force their way through the barricade some of them throwing stones and fireworks. three arrests in. the seattle scuffles coming out just one day off the street rolls at a white nationalist rally in virginia. when i rammed a crowd of counter protesters one woman was killed in the crash and nineteen people were injured. jacqueline looks at how domestic divisions in the united states may have contributed to the increase in violence warning though the report does contain graphic images. as to countering peaceful protests here on saturday in

charlottesville virginia really had their chance of staying. peaceful given how high tensions are currently in the united states as the opposing demonstrators throughout the city clashes quickly broke out. here on the street. down into the protesters reversed again through that injuring one thousand people and killing. more are still in critical condition the driver of the car fled the scene but he has of course since been arrested and identified as twenty year old james fields. he's being charged with second degree murder that attack is being characterized as terrorism by many people here where terrorism is is the use of violence to incite terror and fear and of course it was present afterward the attack did condemning the violence there egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many shots on many shirts politicians on both sides

of the political spectrum slammed the president for not taking a strong enough stance and what's very unfortunate is people in virginia are still fearful that this could happen again given that those organizers of the white supremacist rally have vowed to not give up the hatred and tension was palpable here on saturday and much of it has continued throughout the weekend when one of the organizers of the right protest tried to speak he was not only in food into submission he was also physically attacked very. very out of the tragic events that occurred here on saturday is unfortunately just the most recent in a series of violent attacks happening throughout america. many of you will remember a republican senator was shot at a congressional baseball practice not long ago when the tox on the left we saw a comedian do a photo shoot holding up

a loving severed head that was meant to resemble the president we also saw violent protests and universities in california. we are united in telling these people who do not welcome them here. white america is acting like this brand new this is a brand new this is something that you will started all the instances was if he still had they just came. in ok but they didn't they went to extreme with these the big. the politics have never been so divisive as they are right now it's unclear what can be done to bring everyone together but it's clear something needs to be done that are to charlottesville virginia political commentator ted rall told us extreme beliefs on both sides of the us political divide and not part of the mainstream discourse certainly extreme right nationalism and groups like the national socialist movement are on the far fringes of american

politics and that's also true about the anarchists left as well but they also penetrate deeper into the mainstream than most american political pundits would like to admit i mean certainly there are elements of white nationalism in the mentality that leads to for example police shootings by white policeman against young black man and there's elements of the far left within the progressive left and even in terms of that level of militancy so on the one hand this is played this is definitely a far right versus far left story but it's almost like a team sport of politics where people who are perhaps not deeply invested in their own version of the left or the right are nevertheless sort of silently cheering for one or the other side it's about you know united we stand divided people but i but

i did i did i do i respect people that are. democrats i think i. i. one of the reasons i won the election is we have a very very divided nation. he is continuing his. pain to find relatives russian speaking children stranded in an iraqi orphanage bringing them home is the cold we're trying to spread around the world among those identified so far five. and three year old fatima these youngsters had reportedly been taken to iraq by their parents who joined islam make state the girl's relatives in russia recognized them in a video we filmed in baghdad just a few days ago and now their grandparents want them home as soon as possible. it

is remarkable how coincidence can change entire lives a seven year old neighbor recognizes her playmate. on instagram she shows the video we filmed grandparents who had given up. and her sister as last call it great divided into then should but it changed their lives. under. the care that you were. it's a very you know sort of school for sure you know what i. feel guilty grandparents cried they laughed it was a whirlwind of emotions and they found a new purpose in life to bring the girls back into a family that had deja was only three when they last met and tried to mount me

a months old would she remember two years on. i tell my good just. he. writes. the facts are. you guessing. you know. what you mean. just. and then there's a. new person. to go right in. there

with something precious unforgettable it is one of the real opportunities to witness love in its purest form. this one tidbit grandparents to know that despite the young age and the terror of most though she remembered them more i guess do you have. from dagestan russia. and while they were contacted by an australian if you will mark johnson and his offer to adopt a child whose relatives still can't be found. my heart broke watching the story will make a humble but on this living will gladly provide for those children should the remain displaced it's nice country here in australia and the children would be loved. it was heart wrenching i sort of got credit i really cried and i really do every comic still think about. it it was would very destroy the poor

children's were. in despair. you could still say it's of them being children but. it shouldn't be that it should be happy to have been surrounded by friends and family the same while the parents abuse the i mean to slip in the bed to be caught up in ohio situation and these children shouldn't be to. one when i got the boys i think he saw very well if you look here or. close their eyes. and he did so why that little boy. experience. and this is the idea of i mean a couple of years old that was one of the most harrowing bits that i remember off and his description of saying saying the person at the end of. this little boy would describe such an event that stuck with me and i would never want to come to

google searches in america for how to survive a nuclear attack and now out trying to unclasp like how to get rich and how to be happy and the media is certainly helping to stir things up. again weighing their disaster plans a nuclear warhead that could land in hawaii in twenty minutes this is an accidental threat to the united states all information on radiation from a potential nuclear blast so where does all that leave us now while only a few days into a verbal spot with kim jong un a survey showed almost eighty percent of americans believe north korea is capable of launching a missile that could hit the u.s. that's despite many experts saying it's weapons are not nearly sophisticated enough to achieve that cia director mike pump aoe believes there's no immediate need to be concerned so how worried should people be nothing about it but what i'm talking about is i've heard folks talking about their we being on the cusp of

a nuclear war saying no intelligence that would indicate that we're in that place today don't you hawkins has been taking a look at who actually benefits from all the scare mongering. the higher the tension the hotter the rhetoric we've certainly had no shortage of that in recent days but who stands to gain from this war of words for one the u.s. president has kept busy sounding military drums against north korea. they will be met with fury. that if there is a state. maybe it wasn't so. and it's tough talk like this that brought him unique popularity according to one poll trumps approval ratings jumped to forty five percent on the back of those comments. next on the list the north korean army twenty young claims

a whopping three and half million volunteers have signed up for the country's military all because of the recent escalation if true definitely a win for his army recruits is. now moving on to go on the u.s. territory located closest to north korea people there have already received god loans and what to do when they see a mushroom clouds but there's an unexpected cause for celebration because apparently all the hype will actually do the good. and where there is war or even the talk of one is always big money and this time

it's ten points for the bunker business sales are partly going through the roof on the wave of apocalypse histeria now with the. tensions running high bomb shelters are alas making a comeback client scott helps people who are really bridge and really freaked out his clientele has changed from people afraid obama would take their property to those of great trouble started nuclear war all this drama with north korea in a big way for this company take a look at what they are selling here these are massive bomb shelters one such companies even advising people to form an entire survival community if. you scared field life you could move to one of these bunkers scattered around a whopping twenty square kilometers in south dakota yet another completely sold out are even true did so but we have the capacity to be a factor at least a year many countries around the world. so

plenty of point scoring on the back of need. while the big boss is reaping the rewards a lot of communities of people are left losing sleep over the fear of yet another conflict. while our rights activist and university of language professor is concerned about quote reckless rhetoric and this crisis. is used by the united states it defends the united states but it's not really the united states. and the north koreans were to say that we are going to target off the coast of california or we're going to target off the coast of washington state or even target off the coast of hawaii there would be a very different response from the united states because you are directly threatening the homeland but what is the purpose of a territory or a colony the purpose of a colony is that you exploit it when things are good and if things get ugly you cut

it loose the fact that trump speaks so recklessly and so as impulsively only helps to underscore a lot of those those anxious tensions worldwide headlines for you today for this monday here aleksey international your program continues in just a mum. seemed

wrong. to shape out. and in. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. here in moscow the e.u. migration commission has called for member states to get tough on illegal immigrants and make sure they get deported. across the story. there's certainly a change in rhetoric from the e.u. migration commissioner or dimitri opera marple as who one here ago said the e.u. should work harder to accept more asylum seekers let me remind you that you're

already has the highest asylum standards in the world and we have to uphold those and our commitment to protect those seeking protection. we need a strict and more effective policy for deportation too few migrants are being deported the european states have to do more his change of term really boils down to the ease relocation policy for the refugees and migrants is apparently falling apart i mean in the beginning it was mostly the eastern european states like hungary and poland in the baltic states being against that used welcoming policy for the migrants and refusing to taken more and more refugees but now we're hearing more voices of this content from other countries as well particularly italy which really has been bearing the brunt of the migrants the refugees arriving from africa as well as the middle east in search of a better life in europe since the beginning of this year we're talking about new the one hundred thousand migrants who have arrived in italy and we can really see that things are reaching

a boiling point in scituate is particularly worsening in the small italian town of then so meekly i were locals have been protesting against building a new refugee shelter for under age migrants. who took a look at did you doubt it we are on the police a minute approached a friend of mine and got into his car he was trying to come back we couldn't handle the situation any more i don't blame this people i blame the government i don't know what they're doing i'm just here to see that we can't take it any more we don't want them here. because. then my dad would give them a place to sleep and food we give them eighty euros a day but first we should be taken care of our own children our own people only. the men. a year of this town says ventimiglia simply has been left alone to deal with the crisis by themselves and he's one of the many who has been accusing the e.u. of not providing its countries with enough support to take in more migrants modern

europe. the european union we've never seen do anything here i don't think the e.u. has given us any real support the big expense for us comes from underage migrants who the town according to law has to take care of generally we will be reimbursed around half of the expenses there are tens of thousands of euros that our town is paying at the moment because of this earlier this year it's really even threatened to close down its ports to boats carrying migrants so we'll just have to wait and see how officials will react to the situation and it's early and also how they plan to tackle the ongoing migrant prices in the. locals in afghanistan's province claimed that a u.s. airstrike hit a civilian vehicle as there were no terrorists in the vicinity here are some of the residents stories.

but yesterday they dropped a bomb on his juki vehicle killing civilians not a single terrorist is being targeted the foreigners just strike civilians. the strike was conducted in the middle of open tearing there was zero chance of civilian casualties. one person lost five children but now they bluntly deny that they bombed the civilians they didn't kill a single taliban are so far they killed only in this in civilians women and children. there was a bit of a can't except the cruel attacks against our people anymore we urge the government

of afghanistan to prevent such brutal acts we were optimistic that they would clear our areas of militants but these military operations are just to show they just for a few missiles target civilians and then return without any result. meantime the u.s. war in afghanistan also appears to be fueling america's opioid crisis. as details if you closely follow world events you'll notice two things that are happening almost simultaneously first you have the opioid crisis in the united states the over you it gracious is a very rapid escalation of the air when an opioid crisis hundred forty two americans are dying every day of drug overdose and then you have the surgeon afghan drug production opium production in afghanistan rose by forty three percent to four thousand. eight hundred metric tons in twenty six seemed compared with twenty fifteen levels afghanistan hasn't always been the booming center of drug production

that is today since the united states invaded in two thousand and one the poppy fields and the drug dealers who run them have been getting stronger in fact at this point drug production in afghanistan is twenty five times higher than before washington got involved whereas all these opium growing about the united states which is currently suffering from a crisis of opioid addiction well the u.s. drug enforcement agency says that there is no connection southwest asian heroin is by far the most common type of heroin produced in the world however its availability in the u.s. market is very low the u.n. agency begs to differ in different parts of the united states during has been a resurgence in the consumption of heroin and afghanistan is now producing huge quantities we know a great deal of heroin currently comes from mexico but now of ghana stan is looking at the u.s. for the distribution and consumption of its heroin now the u.s. special inspector for afghanistan says that opioids from afghanistan are coming to

the u.s. via canada the u.s. department of homeland security currently lists the flow of illicit drugs as the greatest threat on the northern border to the next time you hear u.s. officials decrying the opioid crisis plaguing the nation and you see images like this. you might also want to keep images like this in mind. artsy new york and your monday worldwide news headlines continue to offer no. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is full of the only show i go out of my way to you know is there. really packs a punch. yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are

a warming planet and the drive to curb pollution is giving little energy as we search for a way to shake off our fossil fuel addiction completely renewable energy has become more affordable than ever and so will our reliance on extracting fossil fuels slowly become a thing of the past how reliable is solar wind hydro for generating vast amounts of energy and what are the hidden dangers of a green future. not i mean director general of the international renewable energy agency thanks a lot for being with us today it's great to have you on our show thank you pleasure so tell me something where oil and gas and coal exciter a systems are already in place right power plants where pipelines oil rigs was there a new a bill and what we have is pretty much just wires in the great. so when the costs of doing everything from scratch be enormous i mean how much would it cost to actually equip the world to do or nubile. much.
