i city on edge this tension in barcelona as people come to terms with the terror of tragedy that's left fourteen dead and with a killer still at large. is yet another key figure now chief strategist steve. move seen as a victory of the establishment over. we didn't get any benefit from the u.s. . but we don't target. progress but creasing

casualties the people of afghanistan are growing increasingly angry at the u.s. led campaign. what to do next in this sixteen year long war. nine am saturday morning and moscow good morning for me watching r.t. international and first to spain we go tensions high in barcelona following yet another deadly terror attack in europe of course spain sold two separate incidents on the first day that left a total of fourteen people dead and over one hundred injured. in barcelona where tempers flare. it was a protest that was a demonstration when you had two sides of the political spectrum from the am to migrate section the of the more left wing and a more in in favor of a migrant community and met for a demonstration that being effectively almost a call for demonstration in the book korea outside of

a career which is right in the center of the roundup where the fact that it seemed going to come to a place. was . i mean one it was also a particularly poignant time for one particular family who had been caught not only in the tragic events that led on by but also at the back the traffic to in paris back in twenty fifty. it was painfully familiar you knew immediately what what was going on i was just getting people's reaction the same but it was strange because no one was asking why any of this had happened no one in the morning started listening to the politicians and the reporters on t.v. tell us the same platitudes and of course they they tore into one another blaming

one another for why everyone was clueless about something everyone knew was going to happen before him. i've been working in these immigrant communities and i've been working on jihadi networks all across europe and i thought immediately that it's most likely a moroccan network was interesting because isis had always use spain as this principal. jumping off point for getting recruits into turkey and syria and the question for me is while isis was in control the attacks were fairly local laws but now i ask myself that these networks are starting to pick up on on. they're wrong and whether they'll become just more widespread an archaic or cross your. yes the fruit seller across from the bar in. in brussels what's going on he

knew a hell of a lot more that was going on with the police but no one seems to be engaged in understanding what is going on in these networks so as the sun comes down in barcelona you can see that the police presence has died down the demonstrations have gone away and a relative sense of normality returns as more of the choice start to come out to enjoy their time here in the center apostle and. yes sad sign of the times these days than is that appeared to be more and more cases of the same family sometimes even the same people being exposed to terror attacks in europe but from scott outside you stole the kates report his daughter who was caught up in the paris massacre in twenty fifty there was the manchester bombing survivor chris polly also managing just about to escape death again on less ramblas on thursday night and for another survivor julia monaco the barcelona attack was her third brush with terror we spoke to counterterrorism experts tell me top pay or love do says the

authorities in the muslim community must take a much tougher stance on extremism. there's no doubt in my mind that we are now going into a new phase of extremism you know being carried out by islamic jihadists i think we need to change our narrative and the way in which we put these individuals at equal need to be much tougher with them we need to and make them understand humility is not absolutes you comes to equity moscato equity with clean hands and this individuals who are not get away with this barbaric act that they're carrying out to think we need to start becoming more aware i think there is more that could be done by the muslim community in trying to rain down some of the individuals that they did to fire being vulnerable to violence extremism are reporting there to security agencies to the muslim community a factor you know saying that you know this kind of action is not a separate will individuals involved and their parents should be walking out to

know to their kids who are carrying out these acts and this is to show you security cameras capturing the moment that van sped past a shop almost around us in barcelona but destin's could be seen to be trying to get out of his path as best they can islamic state later claimed responsibility for the atrocity. and yet now another attack this time the city of turco in finland to tell you about two people were killed and six others injured in a stabbing attack in a market square police say it's unclear whether the instance linked to terrorism of the main suspect has been taken into custody but that is immediately sparked panic of course within a culture never takes a closer look at how the fear of terror has become the new reality for many. the incident that took place in phelan's was quick to spark panic with alarming post about another terror attack spreading through social media and this is the new reality really when people see you have lines like this and these outlines popped

up just within the first hour after the attack now we see words like knife attack or multiple victims stabbing terror well people immediately think of yet another terrorist attack and no one even waits for any confirmation from officials and this just demonstrates the level of fear many people are experiencing there are constantly expecting attacks to take place and believe nowhere is safe anymore i witnesses on local t.v. were claiming that there were three attackers and that they were not fins they had dark skin now a few moments after the incident took place a video emerged apparently showing the attacker screaming god is great in arabic right before being shot by police people where we posting this video repeating the claim that he was shouting just that but then it turned out that someone in the video was just screaming look out and finish all this just shows that people are

saying terror after it we're now. also this morning donald trump's chief strategist steve bannon is leaving the white house even before donald trump took office but i was seen as a key figure it is to. spend only six months than is the president's chief strategist white house statement explained the decision for departure was a mutual one. to bring the executive chairman of news one we spoke to doubts that it will help trouble in the long run here. and it is the one guy in the white house that the deplorable like they know him they like him they admire him and the fact that he's been hated by the media and hated by all the lefties is just . icing on the cake for these people they will they like him they the fact that he's being in that band is being attacked raises him in there and there are steam so the fact that trump fired him will hurt trump it's going to i think the white

house polling is going to show him after this sinks in to everybody that it's hurt him with his own base it's not something he can afford by the way to from a political standpoint cost bannon is the latest in a long list of losses full team trump experts we spoke to think the white house establishment is just pushing out those who try to challenge them. trump is still determined to fight unregulated globalism to preserve the constitution of this country to reform the vast excesses in spending in our government spend six trillion dollars a year all governments inside the united states just on government six trillion dollars is an awful lot of money to be spending on government and he and he embedded others were trying to change that but they came up against i think some globalists. rapid rate of resignations and dismissals in the white house a proving to be a boon for therapists as more and more anxious americans head for the therapy couch to cope with living in the era of trump.

apparently there's this calling industry i don't know about it's coddling is cool now because you got a rapper in a safe space from president almost a year out of the election if you think about it. the university of kansas reminded students therapy dogs. may be suffering from. tromping.

if you. think simply child. to be happy that you. talk to your doctor to see if you like. i think you could you should be treated with less fake news heavy dose of real news just a dose of reality rather than fiction people need to step outside of their bubbles out of their comfort zones out of their echo chambers and experience real life with real people rather day in being in a day to fake news or fake people well reality relevant to this than a week of those violent protests the city charlottesville in the u.s. state of virginia the man now calling on the removal of the confederate general statue that spot the rest of the issue of racially divisive monuments and i was playing out across a swathe of the country the moment and i see no historical figures untouched as kalam open explains. not long ago we were out here on the streets of new york

asking people if they thought that every monument to a slave owner should be demolished even if their founding fathers. did they stop madison avenue. 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. anything that's owned by a slave owner should be changed yeah it should be washington didn't go to war to defend slavery and i think concerts is very important even though we didn't expect people to want to tear down monuments to figures that are almost sacred in american history like george washington or thomas jefferson the idea now seems to be gaining momentum he wasn't protecting my freedom i wasn't someone who my ancestors weren't deemed human beings to him and so to me i don't care if it's a george washington statue or a thomas jefferson statue or robert e.

lee statue they all need to calm down and if those two aren't enough for you how about we try let's blow up mt rushmore that was actually the title of an article from vice media before they changed it to something a little less and say tional but the point was pretty much the same now it's certainly true that george washington and thomas jefferson owned slaves mr president look i think the issue is that you and robert e. lee both owned slaves right. that was bad that was wrong yeah but if you want talk about owning slaves you should talk about thomas jefferson whoa whoa. abraham lincoln certainly did not own slaves he was always an outspoken opponent of slavery which he ended up abolishing in the context of a civil war now you would think he wouldn't be a target for anger but the people who did this certainly think he is this type of action should have been taken then perhaps fifty years ago with the civil rights movement because i mean at the time if you are talking about slavery and racism and think it is all about black people and you know attacking people on minorities but

i am completely against the fact that we're going to go now and try to destroy monuments like we are like you know becoming an isis terrorist group and i think this is whole situation has been created by certain media outlets like for example c.n.n. that they have you know pushed down on the narrative on the fact that you know the troposphere race is so that everybody that supported troublous racist or even going further that every single white person is racist and i'm completely against this we're going to launch a full scale war against history you should probably expect that there's going to be collateral damage cable artsy new york thanks me when this is saturday coming up sixteen years on and people in afghanistan are at the end of the tether with america's military intervention will tell you more about. what's going to go. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's the law in

austin the bill the show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same. apparently better than. the c. people you never heard of love jack tonight president of the world bank paid. me seriously. tanks that's a seventy billion dollars loss and you point out it's mostly private investors which would include goldman sachs and others but if these goldman sachs suffer any losses at all remember they are the government for a bailout so they could go to the government and say we need to bail out the government because it's staffed by goldman sachs employees mostly. they would rubber stamp that and then to pay for the bailout they'd have to go into people's pensions. and they have to grab that money or wells fargo and go into your personal

money. international sixteen minutes past nine in the morning. frustrated growing increasingly uneasy over the u.s. led military campaign in the country saying the civilian death and destruction the yielding few results in the fight against. can you see that damaged house they dropped the mother of bombs in that area we didn't get any benefit from the u.s. they target civilian houses but they don't target i still militants they say the operation is to finish high school but in fact they don't most of the time they didn't target the valley with islamic state groups or active.

when the u.s. and afghan commandos came here they first dropped the mother of all bombs in the area in the last six months they only captured a one kilometer area from islamic state militants we don't know what the problems were why they didn't advance if i had two helicopters with one hundred armed men i could clear this valley of enemies in a matter of hours but they didn't do it. doesn't look to be any end in sight either with donald trump to ferry making a decision on what to do next in this sixteen year campaign that seen four presidents and thousands of american troops come and go exactly virgos got more america's longest war. america's war in afghanistan has been ongoing for sixteen years and seen three different presidents come and go on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and

military installations of the taliban regime and afghanistan i know that many of you have grown weary of this conflict. as you are well aware i do not support the idea of endless war yet given what's at stake in afghanistan i am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort. seventeen years or longer smores it's a very big decision for me i took over a mess and we're going to. make it a lot less messy the results while even u.s. generals have a rather bleak outlook on the progress made or not they don't understand it's my responsibility we're not winning in afghanistan right now mr chairman i believe we're in a stalemate at this point u.s. casualties in afghanistan are approaching the same numbers as the victims of the nine eleven attack the tragedy that triggered the u.s. campaign the taliban still controls a significant part of the country and is making efforts to expand its influence investing in afghan forces at this point doesn't seem justifiable so far little has

been achieved a new strategy settled on so what is team trump doing about it we know what the strategy was for the last eight years don't lose that hasn't worked when can we expect it congress united states to get a strategy for afghanistan that is a departure from the last eight years which is don't lose well on friday the president and his national security team were moving over the options and according to some reports trump has option a and b. one boots on the ground preferred by military officials hoping a strategy to break this stalemate and is it going to require additional u.s. troops do believe it will involve additional forces to ensure that we can. make the advise and assist mission more more effective or move out of afghanistan altogether and let private contractors help local afghan forces either way the u.s. defense secretary has indicated a decision is imminent we will move this toward

a decision as i said i think it was yesterday publicly we are coming very close to a decision and to spend it in the very near future so for now we all just have to wait on the edge of our seats to see which way the american troops rollercoaster will roll this. up or down doesn't go far to washington d.c. . the u.s. state department says numerous countries including china and iran violate religious freedom but it's from that new report on the issue but those singled out now fighting back saying america's got no moral right to judge them samir khan explains from the beginning america has been a place that has cherished their freedom of worship sadly many around the globe do not enjoy this freedom. donald trump said out his goal to defend religious freedom around the world and the first trump era report on the issue has been released by the u.s. state department revealing religious freedom in over two hundred different countries

and territories however it seems like not every country is ready to just sit quietly and accept washington's latest assessment the report included china as a violator of religious freedoms but beijing has urged the usa to deal with its own issues everyone has seen that the facts prove the united states is not totally perfect we urge the united states to respect the facts and probably manage its own affairs and stop using the wrong means of the so-called religious freedom issue to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries the same report also attacks the iranian government for continuing to harass interrogate and arrest religious minorities and for imposing harsh restrictions on its citizens iran's supreme leader then took to twitter to criticize america for not focusing on other more pressing affairs. if u.s. has any power they better manage their country tackle of white supremacy rather than meddle in nation's affairs washington however insists its mission is to be a moral conscience for the rest of the world and that's on exaggeration it's an

actual quote from america's u.n. ambassador united states is the moral conscience of the world we will not walk away from this role there are some people naive people in the united states who actually believe that they're doing a favor to the rest of the world but i think to a large degree yes it is a mechanism through which the americans convince their own people and themselves that they are somehow superior embracing the role of the world's moral compass the u.s. is pointing its finger pretty much all around the globe from venezuela to india but given the division and racial tension inside america at the moment we just have to wonder how many more countries are going to tell washington to mind its own business samir han r. t. washington d.c. . another branch of the german military is being investigated over far right this time an elite units accused of giving nazi salutes and playing new nazi rock music at a party there's been a series of similar scandals stretching back months to go france's good reports.

have you ever heard of germany's special forces command that's right probably not because this is a german special ops team the process to join which the so-called k s k a rigorous only a handful of soldiers are accepted out of hundreds for operations and conflict zones all over the world just recently a young woman came forward in german t.v. channel claiming that she had been invited to a k. ask a farewell party her task was to police the commander with the prize but it's alleged that chaos broke out nazi salutes were flying all over the room alcohol was being consumed to excesses and even a pig's head was being thrown about all to a backdrop of a german nazi song being blasted out of the speakers with this we called some of the blix showing how some feel nostalgic for the once powerful regime we are examining the incident the investigation may eventually be taken over by the

stuttgart attorney and to look up drones to symbols have not been confirmed so far headlines about right wing extremism in the ranks of german armed forces have been plaguing its military with some reports suggesting more than twenty five hundred cases have been registered in germany and unnecessary distraction to the many threats it's facing as of now it's nearly as problem is that most of the clips digital military is not really a threat and in war and of course are the military this is the mob that is only accepted by the majority of people of your country when you were in the military and you are. expected by your friends and by the problem because you're going to take my life very protos you are not really into this and you don't get the best people so they're going to tear it you see the military and it really is a crisis of that i could. feel that it is simply in the. if

you haven't read she reverted to quote you have a lot of the sticks. all of the states that have. fun with leave you with this news bulletin hacking into a computer usually requires some degree of id skills but in the not too distant future it seems just a bit of d.n.a. could be enough or tell you more us research has created a synthetic d.n.a. strand into which they inserted a malicious program and then they used it to take over a computer for the first time when the computer then tried to decode it it released malware it takes a special machine to do it it's not something you're likely to have a but it's reminiscent philosophy. it is a slippery path to start to go down. it's just an interesting thing to procedure at least logically it's not very complicated but we should look at the big book eat the bank don't eat. human life out of identi if they do do

it she'll be so far more or less so we have to effectively end getting some kind of a post-human you don't even notice where everything out of you know to most identity and be reduced to a part of the fact that it was possible to break into a computer through a d.n.a. d.n.a. means that however i think it did mean by d.n.a. it's nothing more than just and that a computer far more so to look forward to soon thanks so much in the latest news of this we can from moscow and kevin i mean it with international. are already going right.

we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people that was loose or biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there. was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate

every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from exposure from the burn pits would read literally send a v.a. probe and they don't want to pay is so the waiting in decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay. for health and get the bill for the v.a.'s. delayed and. thought through well the a welcome to our exactly good night my name a summer you know leave camp i'm named after and

a descendant of general robert e. lee who should probably fire his publicist. i'm not kidding though he's actually my great great great great great great third cousin. really but he never even tells me a birthday card right so he's you know what he's done to me is that. anyway besides being named descended from les growing up in richmond virginia the capital of the confederacy and attending the university of virginia in charlottesville last weekend i was also ten feet from the charlottesville terror attack as it happened so that is who i am and where i come from and what happened this week and i'm saying it's time to take down the statues of robert thought.
