the country to join up with reveals more heartbreaking stories. very good evening to you and thanks for joining us this sunday my name's the this is the weekly here on r.t. international. this week in spain's deadliest terror attacks in thirteen years vehicles in two separate incidents plowed into pedestrians killing fourteen and injuring another one hundred we're about to show you the immediate aftermath of a van driving into a crowd in barcelona i must warn you though the following video does contain some distressing images. i i i. i. i. i. i. i.

i i so many people running the code bodies of kids lying in the street this is a tragedy. you. saw an avalanche of people running in every direction when it was total chaos we had no idea what was going on and i didn't see the man i just heard a boom boom boom sound and people screaming. and. i saw the blood it was. there it will look. like it's crazy it's just. around five pm on thursday wind van was driven into people on the popular pedestrian ice

streets of los that's a focal point for tourists in the city the van drove on for around five hundred meters until it reached the plaza book area where the driver then fled on foot now he is still on the loose authorities say they don't yet know his location adding that he could have even left the country hours later a similar incident occurred in the resort town of cumbria. and police opened fire on a car after it failed to stop at a security check the people carried on the stun struck people on the problem before overturning this five occupants emerged and tried to attack pedestrians with knives but they were soon. shot dead by police authorities believe that the perpetrators of the two incidents were linked and that they were even planning bigger attacks salty skate politics has more from spain. i'm here on the rambler in the hearts of wasilla i don't know where that 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 a cross border stretch that even members of one family can become victims all 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.

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 your. the fruit seller across from the bar in. brussels what's go on he knew a hell of a lot more that was going on with the police but no one seems to be in. him

understanding 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 on their own blood and for another survivor julie of monaco the boss a loner attacked first heard brush with terror and perhaps it's no surprise if you look at how often attacks rock europe 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 artsy. also this week in finland two women died in a knife rampage in what's being described as being the country's first ever terrorist attack more people were wounded before police managed to shoot the suspect in the leg in a rush the people of being urged to stay away from crowded places now security measures have been stepped up at airports on railway stations to the attacks in

spain and for the latest in the wave of terror which is spread across europe particularly in the last two years. he says magazine directions longwalls to rent a truck and drive into a crowd. days

after the terror attacks in spain australia's prime minister malcolm turnbull unveiled plans to make crowded places in his country more secure against such atrocities he proposed police advising local businesses on what safety and security

measures they could and also aims to increase the number of balls to separate calls from pedestrians or the presence of offices and security personnel in public places should be increased. in other news a rally protesting white supremacism in the u.s. city of dallas has resulted in tensions with a group of activists calling for the protection of a confederate statue. or are you going to tell me about it when. the police moved in to protect a group of demonstrators in favor of the monument remaining both sides are reported to have been. but the no reports of shots five detentions opponents of the fallout from last weekend's deadly violence and nearest town and charlottesville was also centered around the relocation of a civil war monument similar efforts to take down the statues regarded by some as

symbolizing racism have taken place across the country throughout the week. but this symbol i just. think they were holding in our dallas. here and actually worked on the statue far back because actually they. think that's owned by a slave owners changed yeah it should be there's a difference between honoring history and recognizing that we shouldn't repeat it.

racial tensions in the united states have been stoked tough to donald trump appeared to be banging down from singling out the role of white supremacists in last saturday's brawls in virginia probably similar to the ones in charlottesville occurred in. boston on saturday thousands of counter protesters marched against the planned run for free speech mind clashes between the demonstrators and police will be thirty people were arrested also earlier this week hundreds protested against trump outside his residence in new york and in washington d.c. a lot more but it's been looking at how america's political debate is now increasingly about labeling divided groups warning his report contains some scenes of violence. 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 tarred with the same brush as white supremacists. 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 bannon gorka in the white house and the klan in the streets it is now the white supremacists house. the incitement of hatred to the got us here is as real and condemn the bill as the white supremacists you know 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 the attack was carried out by a was a republican a that you had an increasing intensity of hostility on the left three percent tension has been building. i think since election night the hyperball 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 give a. was

. thank you. thank you betty. 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 the other side so no matter what your political outlook is the best strategy seems to be the same generalizing demonize label pop

and art see your. morning use an r.t.s. campaign to find relatives of russian speaking children stranded in iraqi war for an age that's coming up after the break.

the feeling of going to. every the world if you do read. it you'll get it out of the old old. old according to just. come along for the ride. welcome back north korea threatened a merciless strike and warned washington of the risk of uncontrollable nuclear war if military drills between south korea and the united states go had a new a war game simulator a military call. flix with an isolated country gang says that the drills are a provocation of the u.s.

maintains they are only defensive in nature this year some seventeen are thousand pentagon troops are expected to take part undone emeritus professor at king's college cambridge in the u.k. says that there will be retaliation if john young attacks american soldiers this is a very dangerous situation because. waters happened in the past when north korea has actually attacked. has always been that is attacked south korean military or naval targets obviously if it is attacked american forces i mean there would be retaliation again you should ever think of the declared intention to use what could be nuclear armed. weapons as an empty threat because it is possible to use them and they have been used before and they are use the results are absolutely appalling and i don't think

north korea wants to risk a nuclear war i mean it would have to be crazy to do so and actually not at all crazy. looks now at how u.s. foreign policy sometimes goes 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 only they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never see kind of if you will see the escalation reza freak certainly 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 a group that took two years to reach and one that was hailed as a the landmark diplomatic treatment this is a historic day. in 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. tell bring an end to that trumps in 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 event as well. 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. r.t. washington d.c. . also has been campaigning to help find the relatives of all friends of russian speaking children who were stranded in an iraqi orphanage it's believed that their parents traveled to the war torn country in order to join and then

either abandon them or were killed we've already received sponsors from people who've recognize some of the children of those for example spotted is little mariam . 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 be as. i. studied us maybe a bit of this and that. because it's clear mariam is lucky to be alive there are scars right on our 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 that i'd like to kill the children that you're at and that. it took oakley for. a school killing you. like it was a trickle. 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. said each buddhist it's just that they just don't do that it would. if it were known 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 mother to suggest. that this living is.

this was a mom i know never. did 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 say a thing but we knew it will stay with us and go do you. believe me. yet there is a glimmer of hope that she can grow up in peace and reunite with her family grandparents. play good food good wash. this stuff you buy the stuff. you. tell us that it was. it tough you know. that i think that it. are our.

blow to the allows us who are leading us go at it soon you know more soon you know and i am. being cheated and that's the end of that is this is still true. says that half plans should try not to even set a motion to do as. far. as she. chairs that it people that did not set foot on touching it's an attention who didn't really know the status of our our. i. am here i sit here and there is a i don't know that how i. guess.

we've also been contacted by a couple from to g.q. star and they believe that they've recognized their granddaughter who's also it happens called maddie the girl in question here says that she saw both of her parents die and she says that she's originally from to stand continuing to look for the relatives of all of these children more and more though keep arriving. your mom this was. the. best. thing. so joining us this evening here on r.t. international are back with the latest news. was
