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 and markers cross your.
8:06 pm

8:11 pm
here at work walk in to actually work thomas jefferson statue or gravity a statue they call the thing that's owned by a slave owners change yeah it should be there's a difference between honoring history and recognizing that we shouldn't repeat it. racial tensions in the u.s. have been stalled for donald trump appeared to back down from singling out the role of white supremacists and rolls and virginia rally as similar to the ones in charlottesville it took place and boston on saturday thousands of counter protest marched against the plan crowley feel free speech was a minor clashes between the demonstrators and more than thirty people were arrested

8:13 pm
have a 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 and he wasn't alone he should look in the mirror and he made a choice in his presidential campaign the folks around with him to you know to 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. this 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 the attack was carried out by a was a republican
8:14 pm
a that you had an increasing intensity of hostility on the left because attention 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 bell 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.
8:15 pm
thanks. to our better. 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 parties yet the 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 tabletop and artsy to your. north korea as warning washington that nuclear war could be on the horizon more details coming up right after the break.
8:16 pm
8:17 pm
rich. but you want to be this is what before three of the people. interested always at the water's edge. there should be moving. north korea has threatened to strike on war and washington knows the risk of fun controllable nuclear war if planned ten day military drills between south korea and the u.s. go and had the annual award. games simulate a military conflict with an isolated country young and south of the drill sorry provocation while the u.s. maintains their defense of. this here are some seventeen and a half thousand panag on troops are expected to take part john donne professor at king's college in the u.k.
8:18 pm
says there will be retaliation after tax and. this is very dangerous situation because. what is happened in the past when north korea through the attack. has always been the. south korean. navy gets. too many. forces i mean that would be retaliation against you should ever think that declared intention to use. weapons as an empty threat because it is possible to use. have been used before and they all use results are absolutely important. i don't think north korea wants to risk a new world i mean you have to be crazy to do so. she.
8:19 pm
said 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 this may not get away with what he's doing believe they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never see. the escalation reza. except it 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 years to reach and one that was hailed as a landmark diplomatic treatment this is
8:20 pm
a historic day. in response to washington's threats of more sanctions to promise so that they can 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 a key election. help 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
8:21 pm
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. our team washington d.c. . party has been campaigning to help find the. orphaned russian speaking children stranded it in an iraqi orphanage as believe their parents traveled to the war torn country to join i sell and then either abandon them or work kilts we've already received responses from people who recognize some of the children and one of those it was little mariam. a phone

8:23 pm
a school kid and you feel like it could go for. 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 they just don't need to do that it would a. little 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 moment this is just. a. good living is. the mom i know never. did what kind of other horrendous things these people
8:24 pm
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 do we need. a stimulus bill do you. believe . this yet there is a glimmer of hope that she can grow up in peace and reunite with her family grandparents. good food good wash. this does involve the stuff. we're looking. at alicia doing. it tough. stuff and i think that here it. are our. blow put allows us through our ego does dilute it soon you know more soon you know and i am

8:26 pm
8:27 pm
lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that burst fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most diluted society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians and celebrities are to ruling parties are in reality one part of the corporate world and those who attempt to puncture this. breathless universe of fake news to sign the push through the cruelty and exploitation the little more are pushed so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has so. it sold for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an apple but squeak we must talk.
