you. protest. marches. in charlottesville. children are being. painted bring home. followers. tension. between the u.s.

and north korea. to get. to the world. to the program this hour's top story tensions between rival pro free speech and rallies a boil over in the u.s. city of seattle after police moved in with pepper spray and stun grenades to disperse protesters.

the conservative rally was organized by a pro trump group called patriot pro build a supporter of free speech it was confronted by contra protesters who were shouting insults before riot police blocked their path our group of demonstrators attempted to force their way through the barricade some of them through fireworks still three people have been arrested. while a seattle scuffle scame just one day after street brawls at a white nationalist rally in virginia turned atlee when a car rammed a crowd of contra protesters a woman was killed in the crash nineteen people also injured. looks at how domestic

divisions in the u.s. may have contributed to the increase in violence warning the report does contain graphic imagery. what was billed as two countering peaceful protests here on saturday in charlottesville virginia really had their chance of staying just that peaceful given how high tensions are currently in the united states as the opposing demonstrators walked throughout the city clashes quickly broke out. here on the street a car plowed down into the group of protesters reversed again through them injuring nineteen people and killing the thirty two year old woman the driver of that car fled the scene but he has of course since been arrested and identified as twenty year old james feels that attack is being characterized as terrorism by many people here what terrorism is is the use of violence to incite terror and fear and of course it was to politicians on both sides of the political spectrum slammed the

president for not taking a strong enough stance after the attack happened here on saturday this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many shots on many shots 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 rights protests tried to speak he was not only in food into submission he was also physically attacked there. 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'll start it all instances was it he still had they just came. in ok but they didn't they would say extreme of these they tried to kill people 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 i do think things have become very partisan very hard in this country. we gotta begin to work together to get things done with the greatest nation on earth and there has been too much discourse in this country today that. is general we need to work together. the current divide in the us became so apparent during last year's election race the nation split into two camps with both sides accusing each other of ignorance then. stepped into office nationwide protests occurred with the slogan not my president. i would say were more open minded were kind of more moderate well educated people a lot of educated people who are sensible. and they were kind of very good weren't they i'm not to judge what other people's education and stuff is it's not

surprising that the country is divided. but the war of words rapidly developed into horrific riots culminating in on rest in california berkeley violent protests against the planned speech by approved conservative journalist turned to clashes between presidential supporters and counter protesters. i. was. well the divisions took a chilling turn in virginia the same state as the charlottesville disturbances this week a left wing activist went on

a shooting rampage against republican lawmakers in june it took place during a congressional baseball practice session leaving a heisman whip among the injured. well the latest scenes let's bring in dean of the law school tom for his take hi there tom you know what rule do you think can we just talk about this aspect first the political divisions in us society what role did they play in the violence of the at the white nationalist rally in charlottesville if any. well the political dimension is you have very much a clear right in the left splits in american politics right and left split that seems to be without much of a center ground as you know with the a lot of space in the middle of the right has become more rights and and some would

say the left has become more left the country's become more polarized and people are not seen in total trump has promised to bring people together but it seems that people have never been further apart under under his rule well yeah the groups that clashed in virginia they are of course on the fringes of the political discourse both sides does the incident in any way represent what is going on in the country as a whole at the moment. well i think to some degree probably guess in the sense that. race problems have been a problem in america since its founding these are deep seated issues anyone who thinks that there hasn't been racism or is to show the lies problems in america still doesn't know how well or badly the country it works these are things that have been a part of the country for a very long time all that said there's also been

a lot of progress made in these areas and i think that the real alarm here is that you know corners are being turned a bomb osis president other things are happening you then have this kind of reaction against that these these for in support as you say you many people whom are supporters of donald trump very vocally. you know these are folks that didn't just reject obama as donald trump did as president for president but they also rejected a bomb as being a citizen all rejected to didn't believe he was really an american citizen. even further in this fringe movement as it were has a voice in the white house i think that's what makes the political element different don't trump has been criticized thousand a for blaming both sides in this instance rather than specifically condemning the white nationalist did he take the right approach here because we also see quite a considerable amount of violence from. incitement burning flags except very you

know that will lead to violence in the current discourse. well in the light of the white house taking a strong line in this is people are going people's fears are going to be reignited you know in virginia you have people carrying nazi flags and alongside confederate flags holding torches you know like the ku klux klan used to do once upon a time but with a very big difference that they were not even bothering to cover their faces you have some you know when someone drove into the crowd in london it was called terrorism someone drives in the crowd in virginia and donald trump doesn't really seem to pay much attention to it i think this is going to going to give people a lot of fear as they all try to scout a voice in the white house who's turning a blind eye to you know really. this kind of terrible disorder and bigotry that

we're seeing in the streets of america ok we've been speaking to the dean of the durham law school in the u.k. tom tom thanks for coming on the program. it's about you and i do we stand by. that. democrat. one of the reasons i won the election. every. moving on r.t. is continuing its campaign to find relatives of russian speaking children stranded in an iraqi orphanage and bring them home is the call we're trying to spread internationally among those identified so far sisters five year old. three year old

youngsters reportedly being taken to iraq by their parents who joined islamic state the girls relatives in russia recognize them in a video that we filmed in just a number of days now their grandparents want them home soon as possible. it is a remarkable coincidence. a seven year old neighbor recognizes her playmate. on instagram she shows in the video we filmed to her grandparents who had given up. and her sister has lost all a great divider and then shouldn't but it changed all of their lives. for america. there's a very sort of school for. the elderly grandparents

cried. there was a whirlwind of emotions and they found a new purpose in life to bring the girls back into a family but deja was only three when they last met and tried to mug me a months old would she remember to review is all and i expect. it to my good just. he. writes. the facts are. you getting. as you. put it clean.

and then there's a. new person maybe even. still. there is something precious unforgettable it is one of the river opportunities to witness in its purest form we wanted big grandparents to know that despite her young age and the terror of most though she remembered them more i guys did have see from dagestan russia. but the same time we were contacted by an australian viewer mark johnson who has offered to adopt a child whose relatives can 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 as our own it was not raging i suppose i read it i cried and i believe the car still think about. it was. very destroyed the poor children's were. in despair. he could still say it's of them then george. it shouldn't be that it should be happy to have them surrounded by friends and family the same while the parents abuse the wife likely to slip in their. there'd be a pot of an opal situation and these children shouldn't be. but when i when i got the boys i saw very well if you took her. clothes they're all i did and he did cost the wife that little boy. experience.

as i moved up louise oh that was one of the most harrowing bits that i remember. and his description of say saving the person. whose little voice was of this cross such an update that stuck with me and i would never want to have that come across that. well perhaps you may have information about any of the children you saw on the screen and you can contact us of course using the email address the bottom off or screen. one else truths seem wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world

yet to shape out these days comes to catechize and in again from an equals betrayal . when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do so. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject . so when you want to be president if you. want. to go right for us this is what the three of the people. interested in the water.

were back with another big story of the week the war of words between the u.s. north korea is generating plenty of headlines and made growing fears qatar wrapped into a real confrontation and even military advisers ringing the alarm i think we're not closer to war than a week ago but we're closer to war than we were a decade ago and this has been a problem that we've procrastinated on for a long period of time and now it's coming to a head where the threat from north korea not only to the united states but to the world is very very clear and it seems many people have taken the bait google searches in the us for how to survive a nuclear attack or trending classics like how to get rich how to be happy and the media certainly couldn't be accused of trying to downplay the issue either. people

begin weighing their disaster plans a nuclear warhead that could land in hawaii in twenty minutes this is an accidental threat to the united states will information on radiation from a potential nuclear blast. so where does that leave us well only a few days into trump's verbal spawns with kim jong il 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 pyongyang's weapons are not sophisticated enough to achieve that cia director mike pump a.o. believes there's no immediate need to be concerned so how worried should people be nothing about it what i 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 any sphere among going. the higher the tension

the halter 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 he dare to state. maybe it wasn't so. and it's tough talk like this that brought him unique popularity according to one poll trump's approval ratings jumped to forty five percent on the back of those comments. next on the list the north korean all me twenty nine claims a whopping three and hoff million volunteers have signed up for the country's military all because of the recent escalation if true definitely a win for his all the recruits is.

now moving on to go on the u.s. territory located closest to north korea people that 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 all even the talk of one is always big money and this time it's ten points for the bunker business sales are going through the roof on the wave of apocalypse histeria now with military tensions running high bomb shelter.

these 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 start a nuclear war all this drama with north korea it's paying off 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 nuclear armageddon talk has you scared feel you could move to one of these bunkers scattered around a whopping twenty square kilometers in south dakota yet another says they're completely sold out are even true did so but we had the capacity to me. years why me trees around the world. so plenty of point scoring on the back of needs planning while the big bosses are reaping the rewards the laws communities of people are left losing sleep over the

fear of the yet another conflict well our rights activist and university have gone language professor that we spoke to see is he's concerned about trump's reckless rhetoric. 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're 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 is repulsively only helps to underscore a lot of those those anxious tensions. now the e.u.

migration commissioner of house call for member states to get tougher almost legal immigrants and ensure they get deported across the story first. 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 take in 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 are 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 boiling point in situation is particularly worsening in the small italian town of then some miglia were locals have been protesting against building a new refugee shelter for under age migrants. ok what i did you know 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.

we give them a place to sleep and we give them eighty euros a day but first we should be taken care of our own children our own people. 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 in 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 under-age 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 yours that our town is paying because of this earlier this year it's really even threatened to close down its ports to boat carrying migrants so we'll just have to wait and see how e.u. officials will react to the situation and it's free and also how they plan to tackle the ongoing migrant crisis in the. oil expert in modern european history

apollo bernard deni says officials are passing the buck the situation gets worse while he is least in the same time is blaming this so hard to state that this is the perfect the should act and the fact is is now is the law maybe it was the local dog. and larking situation. they accuse each other. and the same time the population wants me to resign and the is absolutely not this. tragic i will say if my grandson continued to we are going to face. value. meanwhile italy has already tighten the screws on the various n.g.o.s operating at sea to rescue migrants back in july authorities imposed a new code of conduct threatening that groups which fail to comply won't be allowed

into italian ports the n.g.o.s argue the new code would impede their work. but this isn't the only obstacle faced by the rescue groups they're also describing the libyan coast guard stance of explicit threat it's all force the doctors without borders save the children cia n.g.o.s to suspend their migrant rescue operation in the med. by searching in this monday afternoon here in moscow to join me again at the top of the hour for more of the news to affecting your world today . about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last term. here after caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to

rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one. i speak to you because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its make. all the food we don't go to. every the world.
