the election taking german chancellor chats to you tube bloggers delays facing arrivals on national t.v. . first of all in seventeenth of august here in moscow just turned ten am my name is kevin good morning from me in the headlines from r.t. this this channel is campaigning to try and help reunite orphaned russian speaking children who've been left stranded in iraq it's understood they were taken there by radicalized payer and sued joint islamic state we've been appealing for anyone who might recognize the youngsters shown in our reports to get in touch and it's likely indeed that we may have found some of the families among the responses we've had now in the iraqi orphanage itself there are new arrivals coming in let me bring you the story in a little merrier. she's

in a fragile state shelf and cries she says she's often in a lot of pain from her many injuries in a patrol describes the old deal this little girl's gone through. the phone call to that very same shelter the voice on the other end says another girl has just been brought in from mosul. but it could be too early to talk for her any question and the girl may break down. in this psychological state she's struggling to answer a question as simple as what's your name got to be as. i. just anybody else that might be a. bit of this like that. because it's clear mariam is lucky to be alive there are scars right on her face surviving this head injury as almost a miracle. surrounded by other kids in cameron shelter workers mariam gradually got to the point when she began talking believe it or not mariam gets

least stressed out when she speaks of her one that's still was just to kill the chill button that. it took oakley. is. a school killing you. but it is close to cool. it seems the lucky escape happened shortly after that dreadful experience but here's maryam describing what happened just before she found herself at the epicenter of the war. that each just met it's just that you just don't do that if little or. little if it were known that a lot of mariam is not the only girl who has told us about the horrors by some river that's apparently where many children lost their mothers. a moment to suggest. let's say. the libby is.

the mom when you're only a mom or dad each day. what kind of other horrendous things these people went through somewhere by the river in mosul we can only guess mariam doesn't remember anything more or just can't talk about it we ask about her father but she can barely see a thing but. will stay with us from below you. will . get there is a glimmer of hope will that she can grow up in peace and reunite with her family saranda parents. but what good. does it bothers. us that we don't like the. elite betraying our teeth. if you got information about maryam or any other

children that we've mentioned over the last week or so please do contact us on the e-mail address you can see the bottom your screen is there now in the meantime we will continue to campaign to try and reunite them with their relatives back here in russia. sillies yes. so there's the i'm. gonna kill it only it. goes up again mom to school mom all of it just so. this is a mom i know mom or your d.h. .

in lists all of the. current. caucasoids. board that i searched for abuse your use for. it's. effect at gap that. echo might get displayed bob was. kind of his. next this morning thousands of people have turned for a candlelit vigil in charlottesville of the u.s. state of virginia they gathered to condemn violence and hate for a woman deposing

a white supremacist rally on saturday two state troopers were also remember they dug in the helicopter crash while monitoring the unrest the wave of violence started when a protest over the removal of a statue of a confederate general. authorities is taking down a similar monuments across the country now citing security reasons many landmarks in the u.s. linked to controversial posts nancies from the city many people are reluctant to condemn them. as more of the story. here outside of st john's episcopal church in brooklyn there was a monument commemorating confederate general robert e. lee it was affixed to this maple tree and it was here for over one hundred years now in light of the violence in charlottesville related to a statue of robert e. lee it's been removed all across the country activists are demanding that symbols honoring a related to slavery or honoring the people who fought for it be taken down perhaps

this is sensible after all slavery is a barbaric practice millions of people died coming to the united states millions more worked to death on plantations however getting rid of the symbols related to slavery might not be as easy as it sounds. this is new york city's madison avenue it's named after u.s. president james madison now james madison owned over one hundred slaves and in his personal letters he said some pretty reprehensible things about black people do you feel like there's a little hypocrisy that we're changing things in the south but not changing things here absolutely which changes every way i think if he represents you know a troubled past or because there's a difference between honoring history and recognizing that we shouldn't repeat it should they stop madison. and rename it yeah i think it's fine so if one person is the football that will be by the city you'd be a good idea to take it to the it should be a democratic but i think a lot of people in the south do want to take the statues down it's not just people

in the north that are trying to take down. now we're here in thomas jefferson park thomas jefferson was the ideological founder of the american republic and he was also a slave owner not only did jefferson own hundreds of slaves he actually impregnated one of them there's a number of african-americans living today who can trace their genealogy back to thomas jefferson and one of his slaves sally hemings before him having slaves he was a youngster but what changes play very shouldn't be this even slaves right now in this day after it of them. said the ways to get out. get out late try to kill the show. the first president of the united states george washington started owning slaves when he was just eleven years old by the time of his death he had over three hundred even signed into law the infamous fugitive slave act which allowed slave

owners to track down escapees all over the country think anything that's owned by a slave owner should be changed yeah it should be because this is times two thousand and they have only they've had enough time to do it while washington didn't go to war to defend slavery and i think concepts is very important in these tough situations george washington's faces on the one dollar bill he's often referred to as the father of our country slavery didn't just exist in the south it existed all across the united states getting rid of everything related to slavery opens up an interesting can of worms might not be as easy as some people seem to think kaleb oppen artsy new york you know online there's a fervent to the campaign to the show this will protest as more on that side of it the sooner it comes here. the gable probably think blacklists of your opponents may very well violate personal privacy and could just ruin lives however both sides are

willing to. over the people interested in protesting during trump's inauguration the us justice department wants to go demanding that dream host a web service provider release all the information of the users who visited a website launched by the organizers of the demonstration and that's roughly one point three million users now the web host is trying to fight back in essence the search warrant only aims to identify the political dissidents of the current administration but attempts to identify and understand what content each of these dissidents viewed on the website. most recently targeted in charlottesville last weekend twitter users embark on a mission to identify and shamed those who attended the infamous united the right rally the twitter account called yes here racist has even been posting i.d.'s of the marchers their communities need and need to know who these people are and what

they're trying to do to our nation while there is no defending the violence of neo nazis in charlottesville the amateur investigators search for racist seems to have missed by kyle quinn a professor from arkansas was falsely identified as a right wing charlot school demonstrator the man runs a lab doing medical research and has nothing to do with white supremacists however he perceives scores of hate messages after his address was posted online you have celebrities and hundreds of people doing no research online not checking facts i've dedicated my life to helping old people trying to improve health care and train the next generation of scientists and this is potentially throwing a wrench in that the founder of the yes your racist twitter page says that despite the chances of innocents being caught in his net he's willing to take the risk but the search for personal data of those who disagree with you smells like a witch hunt i can see where it could be. blanket intimidation against everybody protesting with the squad on in you know right we started publicising the room to

the left we knew it would produce a lead in people publicizing the names of raving people who participate. so it could be a backfire on whoever tries to do it because it could start becoming rooted through and that's the double edged sword of the social media that you know you can use it to organize but you can also use it to shame embarrass or intimidate. the careers seems south korea may send a special envoy to pyongyang in the north if the north stops its missile or nuclear tests meantime the u.s. is taking a much harder line on the crisis that. as president trump has made clear the era of strategic patience is over with regard to north korea all options are on the table in the united states will continue to bring the full range of american power economic and diplomatic until north korea abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile

programs those comments come despite the fact that north korea earlier said it would hold off on strikes and donald trump decision very wise. next looks at how american policy seems to go against right now what the international community is pushing for. when it comes to foreign policy it seems that trump is trying to twist the knife into some of the most balto international issues. there's fire and fury for north korea while the international community is calling for deescalation in the region trying to spouting some of the most aggressive rhetoric that's been heard and done. and this man will not get away with what he's doing believe they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never see. the escalation in brest break suddenly doesn't solve the problem the solution to these cries this must be political the potential consequence of military action.

to even contemplate. the two thousand and fifteen iranian nuclear deal and a group that took two years to reach and one that was hailed as a landmark diplomatic treatment this is a distort. and response to washington's threats of more sanctions to promise so that they can pull out of that deal altogether but america's u.n. ambassador doesn't appear all that concerned iran cannot be allowed to use the nuclear deal to hold the world hostage the nuclear deal must not become too big to fail. and then there is venezuela a country divided after months of violent protests and the run up to a key election. tell bring an end to that trumps and just meeting fire with fire apparently the

white house wants to kill a divided society and political scene with more violence we have troops all over the world in places that are very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary whatever happened in terms promises of making the world a less nasty place to live i would love to be able to get along with everybody right now the world is a mess but i think by the time we finish i think it's going to be a lot better place to live for now it seems the president has zero intentions of making friends with everyone. our team washington d.c. seems so we'll continue to try to story good morning for me kevin owen here in moscow coming up it's a slow and steady for the german chancellor only election campaign trail she's been chatting to avoiding facing your rivals on national t.v. we'll tell you why.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington to washington. the. voters elected to run this country business if. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't. let me. get to shape out just because the ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

before the break the german chancellor seems to be taking the easy road least at the moment on the election trail. put all facing a rival's on live t.v. thus far she's rejected the terms of what was being asked of there instead she's been chatting to bloggers on you tube and looks at why she might be taking that softer option. angle or merkel should be feeling energized and a fresh after her three week break in the italian alps but judging from her latest election campaigning looks like she's still in vacation mode the chancellor spent time talking politics with several young you tube celebrities here in germany one

of them is a video blogger that specializes in german izing american pop hits another is a lifestyle blog where the shares her experiences and ventures with her viewers oh and there's also a fashion and beauty blogger. ok. this is stars. and this is me in a quite nice outfit there protects my skin and how these beauty and tech bloggers were chosen to speak to merkel at the height of her campaign we don't know but hot political topics were brought up and the chancellor was cool calm and collected in her answers for. are there any plans for electric cars so. we need to create infrastructure which will motivate people to use electric vehicles many people are currently afraid they will be able to get to work but won't be able to get back home and that's what is your favorite smiley the smiley

with the small hard on that he was surprised that i am. you would be blogger was chosen to conduct an interview with you many have said that my subscribers are not smart enough to ask the right questions. it seems silly to me that some consider people from the beauty industry unable to make the right decision in the elections this is a everyone is able to name my guns tellus honestly when you read donald trump's tweet phrases like not too loaded what do you think about what comes into your head up at the thought we should generally be careful with language language is often a step towards escalation and violence i stand by all means against this. instead of meeting with the legitimate media with people who are trained to detect when the politicians are playing games chancellor merkel has a group of amateurs with whom she can play and that's what's happening here it

reminds me of a prize fighter who is that free to meet a real challenger it is the softest question and answer approach that she could face it is the i deal for a politician who wants to be. smooth sailing for angela merkel there but it certainly won't be so easy why should they stop her main rival martin schulte in september. for everybody it should be clear what is meant by the central government and that when the head offices of a governing party systematically decide through the debate on the country's future when a party comes and says we do not have anything to do with this and we do not debate this journey election campaign and it is the arrogance of power nothing else the ladies and gentlemen. chairman broadcasters want to redesign of the bait so there's more room for spontaneity allowing the two politicians to challenge each other more but america's team reportedly threatened to cancel so the broadcasters gave up

there were forty five minutes provided for each block of the t.v. programme the chancellor's representatives did not agree with such. dramatic changes and refused to participate under these conditions with campaigning in germany stepping up a year before the election anglo-american seems to be making sure she's in that driving seat and r.t. very late. meanwhile the german chancellor's refugee policy is under intense scrutiny once again a syrian refugee now is being tried in germany for alleged war crimes the suspected former commander of the free syrian army is accused of torturing civilians in the city of aleppo local media reporting that he was arrested after one of his alleged victims recognized him on the street with more on this go france's go now. the forty two year old was arrested in april last year and is accused of abducting and torturing civilians in aleppo he allegedly led a militia group of one hundred fifty men links to the free syrian army considered one of the so-called moderates in the west this is

a very comfortable use for the show narrative that guy is syrian army used like you're here to be used for the good guys and you know it turns out what the for instance critics you can say right from the beginning these are good guys on the position a lot so-called opposition. they're being hijacked by by by terrorists by you thought it was interesting the enough it appears the suspect came to germany as a refugee but was caught after he was recognized by a man he allegedly tortured and here are some of the answers he put down in his refugee application do you have no knowledge about war crimes committed in syria or crimes against humanity in particular about fide has taken civilians the

perpetrators who commit these crimes or syrian regime and terrorists from isis can you name offenders by name i know no names as an alleged rebel commander who is now being prosecuted for torture is the answer seem quite well expected and this baffling story by the way has barely been touched by the mainstream media among the few mentions it's had in germany it seems the coverage is making sure no one things badly of the free syrian army of course they're not the bad guys just good willed rebels according to the findings of the federal prosecutor's office his troops pursued primarily self-serving interests why nobody writing about it why it's not top news because. shouldn't. go well with your fishing narrative. for all these people who came in and drove mother. i. mean.

you know you are all. the verdict in this case is expected in september when germany set to vote in its general election there is little chance this quite explosive story will make any more headlines hugo francis and jago r.t. but moscow time see the red tape has popped up was that well i'll tell you breaking news story potentially dutch police confirming that they're responding to a hostage situation at a radio station in the netherlands seems an armed man there is in the building these latest pictures through a knife a bag are also reportedly have been found there about fifty meters from the building police according off the premises radio station nonetheless continuing to broadcast not quite sure the. news agency reporting may be or it comes at the same time as a well known d.j. this he was leaving maybe viewers maybe a listener we don't know what's going on there but we will keep you posted over the coming half hour or so keep an eye on that take you as well. next saudi arabia's

research chilling warning in its bit of feud with qatar with the t.v. news animation showing an aircraft being blown out of the sky it's meant to explain to viewers the worst case scenario if qatar violates riyadh's strict sanctions that were imposed in june. a country can send fighter jets to force the plane down and then charge her with anything and from posing a threat to national security or putting civilian lives in danger what's more international law even allows a plane to be shot down if it's violating airspace classifying it as an enemy target especially in a military areas where there are new air defense restrictions. so he arabia the united arab emirates egypt and bahrain cut diplomatic ties with qatar after accusing it of backing extremist groups as part of the riyadh imposed blockade air land and sea links were severed with saudi arabia also should list

a tough demands to clued into regional expelling turkish troops stationed in scaling back ties with iran and closing khatami from the news outlets like al-jazeera middle east analysts we spoke to says the l n a warning is part of a tried and tested method used by the saudis to weaken opponents usually there's such odds to lot of principally designs by by the saudis is to actually strike fear or they are sort of trying to impose their will trying to bring that to their knees and to trying to punish them to make it to make an example of them and to show that anyone who dares stand up to challenge or defy saudi arabia and its leadership or the way it carries out its policies world pay deadly for it. a mile from a buck and keep track of the breaking news story up to you don't comb.
