speaking children stranded in iraq. believe their parents went to the country. and then either abandon them or were killed we've already got responses from people who recognize some of the children or those spotted it is the. a 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 do as a. city. bus to anybody else that might be up to us like that. it's clear mariam is lucky to be a while 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 least stressed out when she speaks of her once over the just don't like to kill the governor the chill button that. it took oakley for. a school killing you. like 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. that each just met it's just that they just didn't do that it was a. little bit of unknown 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.
4:18 am
a mother to suggest that. this little. the mom i know never. did what kind of other her endless 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 who we knew. that stayed with us 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. but would go wash. the baba stuff. to tell us that it was. it tough

4:21 am
if the north brings a halt to its missile and nuclear tests and much contrast to the hard line the u.s. is taking. 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 as comments come despite the fact north korea has said it would hold off strikes which should call a very wise decision so i can envision looks at just how american foreign policy is often seen as going against the wishes of the international community. 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
4:22 am
fury. like the world has never see kind of the escalation in brest freak certainly doesn't solve the problem the solution to this crisis must be political the potential consequences of military action to reach seek to even contemplate. the two thousand and fifteen iranian nuclear deal and agreement that took two years to reach and one that was hailed as a landmark diplomatic treatment this is a historic day. in response to washington's threats of more sanctions to promises that they could 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
4:23 am
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 over the world the 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 of it as well. including a possible military option if necessary whatever happened in terms promises of making the world a left a 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 their own time to end up making friends with everyone. our team washington d.c.

4:26 am
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 a former cia analyst and whistleblower john kiriakou believes there are more similar cases to come but the 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 sent to slee. torture 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
