two separate vehicles. killed one hundred more injured in a country into the ranks of european states hit by unsophisticated low cost. small controversy with. same charlottesville as racial tensions in us society. campaign to find relatives of russian speaking children stranded in iraq you'll find their parents travel to the country to join reveals more heartbreaking stories

. morning from. thanks for joining us welcome to the program this week saw spain. and thirteen years two separate vehicles plowed into pedestrians killing fourteen and injuring one hundred more began one of drove into a crowd along one of the most popular tourist streets we can show you some footage from the scene but just a warning the video does contain some distressing images. and

i saw many people running the code bodies of kids lying in the street this is a tragedy. that. saw an avalanche of people running in every direction and when i heard it was total chaos we had no idea what was going on and i didn't see the i just heard a boom boom boom sound and people screaming. and. i saw all of the blood he was. there able to look. like it's crazy it's just. a here's how events unfolded around five pm local time a white van was driven into people on the popular pedestrian streets of last from

you can just see it on the map here that's a focal point for foreign tourists in the city and the van traveled for around five hundred meters down the road before reached book just down here where the driver then fled on foot he is still on the loose. visited the scene of the attack. i'm here on the run there in the hearts of vassallo know where the deadly terror attack took place on thursday this pos at the city is a tourist hot spot people from my this thirty nationalities became the victims of this atrocity. and the tragic reality is that events such as this are now such across borders threats that even members of one family can become victims or witnesses of different attacks across europe we met one such witness while covering the events here impossible and.

was painfully familiar you knew immediately what what was going on i mean i live this life my daughter lived next to the bottle in paris my niece was just here for me it's not like for most people here a sudden unexpected. event for me this is the life i live. and. 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 of the attacks were fairly local laws

but now i ask myself if these networks are starting to pick up on on their own and whether they'll become just more widespread in the arctic or cross europe. yes the fruit seller across from the bar in mumbai in rome. he knew a hell of a lot more that was going on with the police but no one seems to be in. him understand what is going on in these networks and there are other examples as well manchester bombing survivor chris pauley also managed to escape death again. and for another survivor to be a moment the boss a loner attacked her brush with terror and perhaps it's no surprise if you look at how often attacks on kirit these days experts now say that terrorism is a new normality in europe here on the around it looks like it's already returned to normal partridge r.t.

. just hours after the first incident another car drove into a crowd of people in the resort town of. about one hundred kilometers south of barcelona. police opened fire on a vehicle failed to stop at a security check the car carried on and struck people on the promenade before overturning its five occupants that emerged and tried to attack pedestrians with knives six left six people wounded and one later died of her injuries all terrorists were shot dead by police at the scene. also this week in finland two women died in a night from page in what turned out to be the country's first ever terror attack six more people were wounded before police managed to shoot the suspect in the leg and then arrest him but people have been urged to stay away from crowded places security measures have also been stepped up at airports and railway stations in

spain and finland are the latest in the wave of terror which has hit europe over the last two years. leg. length. leg. i says magazine. has to rent a truck and drive it to a. leg

. length. leg.

list so we spoke to believe this week's attacks are just another example of the new reality we find ourselves in. i think people have to open their eyes each week two weeks ago it was true when you asked me france this week spain i think no. we're talking about europe but there are similar attacks elsewhere in the middle east and no country can say it's safe from such an attack today the london mayor said the chance that we have to get used to this french president right now might cross the same thing and unfortunately they do seem to be right it could happen almost anywhere to be fair you'd have to literally be watching everybody and have logarithm set to pick up key words and phrases in every single conversation and communication across an entire continent we always knew there was going to be blowback for what happened in iraq the vacuum that was created by the illegal

invasion by coalition forces in iraq and the fact that isis filled that vacuum and they're now looking to hit back i mean it was predictable it's nothing that we didn't expect. the fallout from last week's deadly violence in the u.s. town of charlottesville escalated this week civil war one of it's moving to the forefront of divisions in american society as off the right wing protests in virginia centered around the removal of a confederate monument which had become regarded as symbolizing racism. was i was but this symbolizes this hatred.

i think they are dangerous totems in our dallas society because they divide us versus unite us. the latest confrontation of the removal of a confederate statue in texas resulted in minus scuffles between rival protesters police moved in to protect a group of demonstrators who believed to be in favor of the money what remaining racial tensions in the u.s. have been stoked off the don't trump appeared to back down from singling out the role of white supremacists in last saturday's brawls in virginia. racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs including the k.k.k. neo nazis white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans what i'm saying is this you had a group on one side and you had

a group and the other and they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and it was horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch but there is another side. well trump's series of comments have come under criticism throughout the week with hundreds protesting outside his residence in new york and in washington d.c. has been looking at how america's political debates is now about labeling this report does contain scenes of violence. and one of the chants most frequently used at the protests is no trump no k.k.k. no fascist usa essentially trump and his supporters are being barred with the same brush as white supremacy. ok. now the suspect in the horrific charlottesville car ramming was himself a member of the far right but the mayor of the city was very quick to put his blame

on the white house and president trump and he wasn't alone he should look in the mirror and he made a choice in his presidential campaign the folks around with them to you know go right to the gutter to play on our worst prejudices and i think you are seeing a direct line from what happened here this weekend to those choices trump has made it clear with bannan gorka in the white house and the klan in the streets it is now the white supremacists house. the incitement of hatred to that got us here is as real and condemn the bill as the white supremacists and i was tweets the democratic response to the car ramming mirrors the way republicans responded to the shooting at the congressional baseball practice they blame democrats for stoking up the atmosphere while reality of the attack was carried out by a lone wolf republican aides knew how to vote and increasing intensity of hostility on the left three percent tension has been building. things since election night. that vitriol from the left has spurred threats and now action without historical

parallel events like today are exactly why we took issue with and why elites glorifying the assassination of a president now most americans liberal conservative or otherwise are not violent however it seems like the leaders of the two major political parties try to make the other half of the electorate look like they are and that seems to be mobilizing people in both camps if you want to start something. and demonize me and i don't you. do that was yes. thank you. thank you very much. that. was the united states has created a political system in

a way to demonizing one side means supporting the other side for many voters those who haven't really learned that much about their party's yet the solution to this is to reduce some of these impediments to we need a system in which political parties have to fight for their own ideas they have to show why what they believe is good and why it's right and watch an excellent idea. and not just focus on demonizing be other side so no matter what your political outlook is the best strategy seems to be the same generalizing demonize label pop and artsy new york. will have more news for you just off of the short break stay tuned here but also internationally.

seems wrong we all just don't. get to shape our day after. and in. the trailer. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

the program. campaigning to help find the relatives of all from the russian speaking children stranded in an iraqi orphanage it's believed their parents traveled to the war torn country to join i so abandoned them or were killed we've already received responses from people who have recognized some of the children but more keep arriving. so. this was a little. step to just. that you couldn't. get. me.

least stressed out when she speaks of her one it's just that i'd like to kill the governor the chill button that. it took. it. as close killing you. but it. 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 a buddhist it's just that they just didn't do that it would. do it but there were no middle of maryam is not the only girl who has told us about the horrors by some river that's apparently where many children lost their mothers . promise to suggest.

this. is. the mom i know new mom or dad each. what kind of other horrendous things decent 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 we knew. the stainless from below do. believe . this yet there is a glimmer of hope that she can grow up in peace and reunite with her family grandparents. russia does it bothers. us that he doesn't. believe her tranquil our teeth. now we did speak with miami's grandmother who

hasn't seen the gal three years is what she told us the question to which it had. nothing to. look at the letters that her reading us delineates soon you know more soon you know . and i am. cheated and that's the good news is this is. who says that how. could i mean who truly was i get a motion you do know how. far. i am you wish me. chairs a lot of the people of the real numbers up until shooting in china tension who then had to get off the steps of. the tower have come out

their status as private contractors the lawsuit targets of the most private citizens the plaintiffs were to torture survivors the family of girl run on a man who died in a secret cia prison partially declassified cia report described the events leading up to his death. treated rahman harshly because of rahman's alleged. uncompromising reactions he didn't tarry geisha in lack of cooperation the pressure on to break him and lack of experience with a committed interrogation resister on november two thousand and two ordered or approved the guards placing rahman in the short chain position whereby he was compelled to sit on the concrete floor of his. raman was only clothed in a sweat shirt. directly led to roman's death by hypothermia the cia torture methods have repeatedly been criticized by human rights activists is a reminder of some of the other so-called interrogation techniques reportedly used

in america's secret prisons. the. the psychologist's lawyers claim their clients were public servants whose actions were authorized by the u.s. government they say the moves illegal done in an effort to protect innocent lives from suspected terrorists meanwhile an attorney for the american civil liberties union who represented the plaintiffs says the case sets an important precedent this is a historic victory for our clients and the rule of law this outcome shows that there are consequences for torture and that survivors can and will hold those responsible for torture accountable it is a clear warning for anyone who thinks they can torture with impunity former cia

analyst and whistle blower john kiriakou believes there are more similar cases to come in cia won't give up without a fight. this is absolutely a precedent for other victims to seek justice of course there are some who i think the cia would fight because their cases are very sensitive but there are so many other people who were sepsis leaning. towards her for no reason people who had no ties to terrorism but were just in the wrong place in the wrong time it's going to enable them to seek justice and to seek monetary compensation frankly i think the cia dodged a bullet here now there is a second case the american civil liberties union has filed a case study after that was of a tough arguing that the cia and mitchell and jess and tortured it was a beta that case is going to be more sensitive so that the cia hasn't really put the issue in its entirety behind it yet we have to wait and see what happens with

that was a beta my guess is that because the episode made a case it's so much more serious because i was afraid it was the guinea pig of the cia's torture program that the cia will seek to have that case dismissed. i'll be back with more news in a hall full hour of you all thanks thing with us here ought to. make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly don't want. to ignore middle of the room sit. in the real news

he made about a million dollars off the war was a great you do the future. on defending the woman he is no longer about the interview of the american enterprise institute and he said that he would be a disaster fast fans who are. good oh no member. of the and that's one of the method. to do his work for however many hundreds of millions of dollars is the next to the. u.s. military contractor k.b.r. is under legal fire today over real fires in iraq the firm is charged with causing illnesses from massive burn pits used to incinerate garbage there. veterans who are now sewing k.b.r. because of their availability of service connected health insurance say that k.b.r. .
