bloggers facing her rivals on national t.v. . hybrid afternoon it's thursday lunchtime here in moscow now and our top story is charley's 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 parents who joined islamic state we've been appealing for anyone who might recognize those youngsters shown in our reports to get in touch and indeed it is likely that already we may have found some of the families among the responses that we've had back but of course about often the children still keep arriving next among them is the story of little maria. she as you can see is in a fragile state she cries often she says she's in
6:02 am
a lot of pain from her many injuries and next describes the old deal that this little girl is going 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. i. will study but. this. doctor 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 caring shelter workers mariam gradually got to the point when she began talking believe it or not mariam gets
6:03 am
least stressed when she speaks of her once just to kill the governor the chill button that. it took oakley. is. as close killing you. like it is closer to. it seems the lucky escape happened shortly after that dreadful experience but here's mariam describing what happened just before she found herself at the epicenter of the war. they teach this. is that you just don't need to do that it was a. little bit of unknown that a lot 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 see just. say. the least it.
6:04 am
was a mom when your own little mom or dad each. what kind of other horrendous things these people went through somewhere by that 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 we. will stay with us you. will . get there is a glimmer of hope that she can grow up in peace and reunite with her family grandparents. quite good. russia does it bothers. you. but that doesn't leave. ilya to train our teeth. just a shot of
6:05 am
a self if you've got any information about miami or any of the other children we've told you about what you've seen on this channel over the last couple of days weeks please do contact us on the e-mail address at the bottom of your screen is that now in the meantime we'll continue to try to campaign to get them reunited with their relatives back in russia. so. yes. so the i will. tell ya it was only it was. close up until mom was called the mom all of a just so. this was a mom i know will never mom or your d.h. to.
6:06 am
stay. in the city or the other. thing is important. caucasoids. is your news. it's. a fact that dad quickly made a film i did just play bob was going to. finish his skit. thousands of people have turned for a kind lippy jury in charlottesville in the u.s. state of virginia they gathered to condemn violence and hate for a woman died opposing
6:07 am
a white supremacist rally on saturday two state troopers were also remembered they died in a helicopter crash while want to try to rest but the wave of violence started when a protest over the removal of a statue of a confederate general happened before it's actually now taking similar monuments across the country citing security reasons many landmarks in the u.s. are indeed lead to controversial personalities from the civil war era. said many people are still reluctant to condemn them even though cullum open. 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
6:08 am
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 is there's a difference between honoring history and recognizing the. we shouldn't repeat it should they stop madison avenue. and rename it yeah no i think it's fine so if one person does affect people there will be by the city you'd be a good idea to take it to the it should be a democratic but i think
6:09 am
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. the subtle ways to get out. get out laid trying 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
6:10 am
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 definitely 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 me. hunt underway for activists on both sides online there's a fervent twitter campaign to name the charlottesville protesters while the u.s. justice department scouring for people who visited a website used to walk in eyes protests during donald trump's inauguration with
6:11 am
more on where this is going his samir a car. the gable probably think blacklist of your opponents may very well violate personal privacy and could just ruin lives however both sides are willing to lay. over the people interested in protesting during trips 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 it seems 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
6:12 am
a mission to identify and shamed those who attended the infamous united the right rally the twitter account called yes your 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 to charlottesville demonstrator the man runs a lab doing medical research and has nothing to do with white supremacists however he perceived 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 with mrs 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
6:13 am
the search for personal data of those who disagree with you smells like a witch hunt so i can see where it could. a blanket intimidation against everybody protesting if this caught on in you know right wing groups started publicizing the names of left wing people who participate leftwing people publicizing the names of raping people who participate. so it could be a backfire on whoever tries to do it because it could start becoming the thing to do and that 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 rocking what's happening on the korean peninsula now in south korea may send a special envoy to pyongyang if the north stops its missile and nuclear tests meantime the u.s. has taken a much harder line on the crisis that. this president has made clear the era of strategic patience is over with regard to north korea all options are on the table
6:14 am
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 cold pyongyang his decision very wise jaclyn next looks at how american policy right now seems to be against 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. life the
6:15 am
world has never see. the escalation reza freak suddenly doesn't solve the problem the solution to this crisis must be political the potential consequences of military action. to even contemplate. the two thousand and fifteen iranian nuclear deal and the group that took two years to reach and one that was hailed as a the landmark diplomatic treatment this is a historic day. and response to washington's threats of more sanctions to promise so that they can pull out of that deal all together 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.
6:16 am
help bring an end to that trumps in just meeting fire with fire apparently the white house wants to be 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. washington d.c.
6:17 am
6:18 am
here's what people have been saying about rejected in. the early show i go out of my way to find you know the really packed a punch oh yeah john oliver of our two year marriage is doing the same. apparently better than. the sea diver heard of low down the night. president of the world bank so very. seriously send us an e-mail. again so the german chancellor seems to be taking the easy road right now at least on the election trial of michael's put all facing arrivals on live t.v. in the big debate potentially by rejecting the terms instead she's been chatting to bloggers on you tube looks at what might be behind this 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
6:19 am
election campaigning looks like she's still in fake ation moat 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. this is. us and this is me in a quite nice outfit that protects my skin on 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 elective office are there any plans for electric cars and social game that we need to create infrastructure which will not to wait people to use
6:20 am
electric vehicles many people are currently afraid that they will be able to get to work but won't be able to get back home unless what is your favorite smiley the smiley with the small heart on it and this figure was surprised that i impute to 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. 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
6:21 am
when the politicians are playing games shows their mirco as 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 afraid 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 a. smooth sailing for angela merkel there but it certainly won't be so easy why should they stop her main rival martin schultes in september. for everybody it should be clear what it means when a central government when the headquarters of a governing party systematically decide through jack 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 to. election campaign and it is the arrogance of power nothing else the ladies and gentlemen and us. chairman broadcasters want to redesign of the bait so there's
6:22 am
more room for spontaneity along the two politicians to challenge each other more americans seem reportedly threatened to council so the broadcasters gave up there were forty five minutes provided for each block of the t.v. program the chancellor's representatives did not agree with such dramatic changes and refused to participate under these conditions with campaigning in germany stepping out of here before the election angle america seems to be making sure she's in that driving seat and r t. meanwhile the german chancellor's refugee policy is under intense scrutiny once again a syrian refugee is being tried in germany for alleged war crimes suspect and former commander of the free syrian army is accused of torturing civilians in the city of aleppo local media reports that he was arrested after one of his alleged victims indeed recognized him in the street the girlfriend says go has the story. the forty two year old was arrested in april last year and is accused of abducting
6:23 am
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 to use for the narrative that guy is a syrian army like europe did with 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 of the position to 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
6:24 am
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 his answers 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. manipulate shouldn't so on. it wouldn't go well
6:25 am
with you official narrative it was responsible for all these people who. drove with mother miles i'm very good. as well i. mean if you don't know where you up you know you old guys 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 miguel francis and tiago r.t. if i post one check out the facebook page follow some data on twitter if you can i'm kevin owen thanks be with us this lunchtime more news and as my colleague andrew farma live from moscow. thank.
