sprains dad the terror attacks in thirteen years in two separate incidents. in two pedestrians killing fourteen and injuring one hundred more we're going to show you the. aftermath of a van driving into a crowd in barcelona that's just a warning there for you it's the video contains distressing. and i saw many people roaming the covered bodies of kids lying in the streets this is a tragedy. that i. saw

an avalanche of people running in every direction when i thought it was total chaos we had no idea what was going on and i didn't see the plan i just heard a boom boom boom sound and people screaming. and the ballroom looked people in the floor i saw a lot the lot he was. there able to look like that on the street like it's crazy it's christmas for us. around five pm on thursday a wind event was driven into people on the popular pedestrian streets a las ramblas a focal point for tourists in the city the van drove on for around five hundred meters it's reached placer book area where the driver then fled on foot his still

and the tragic reality is that events such as this are now such across border threats 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 you know. it was painfully familiar you knew immediately what what was going on i mean i live this life my daughter lived next to the buffet 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 the immigrant communities and i've been working on jihadi

networks all across europe and i thought immediately that it's most likely a moroccan the work was interesting because isis had always use spain as this principal. jumping off point for getting recruits into turkey and syria and the quo . and for me it 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 all on their own and whether they'll become more widespread and marker. the fruit seller across from the bar 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 and there are other examples as well manchester bombing survivor chris pauley also managed to escape death again

all around and for another survivor moment the boss a loner attack was heard rush 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 and here on the around it looks like it's already returned to normal partridge azzi also that. also this week in finland two women died in a knife rampage in what is being described as the country's first of a terror attack a small people were wounded to be for police managed to shoot the suspect in the leg and arrest him people have been to stay away from crowded places security measures have been stepped up at airports and railway stations to the attacks in spain in finland the latest in the wave of terror which has spread across here up particularly and the last two years.

live. with this simple i just think. that. i. think they were they were holed up in our dallas siding. here at work and they actually worked on the jefferson statue for robert he actually baseball and the whole 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. still heard donald trump appear to back down from singling. the role of white supremacist and a last day sprawls and very. similar to the ones in charlottesville took place in boston on saturday thousands of counter protesters against a planned rally for free speech with them line in clashes between the demonstrators and police within thirty people were arrested also this week country it's protests against trump outside his residence in new york and also in washington d.c. a petition it's been launched on the white house website calling for n.t. fund to be declared a terrorist organization over one hundred thousand people have already signed in

just three days and now the white house has to issue a response callup mop and has been looking at how america's political debate is increasingly about labeling divided groups a warning has a report contains scenes of violence one of the chants most frequently used at the protests is no trial no k.k.k. no fascist usa essentially trumping his supporters are being tarred with the same rush as white supremacists. do you think. that. our. the suspect in the horrific charlottesville car ramming was himself a member of the far right but the mayor of this city was very quick to put his blame on the white house and president trump and he wasn't alone and should look in the mirror when he made a choice in his presidential campaign the folks around with to you know to go right

to the gutter to play 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 whole 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 hype of both 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. thanks. to our better. than 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 what's 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. it will pop and r. to your. north korea has threatened to strike war and washington of the risk of uncontrollable nuclear war plan ten day military drills between south korea and the us hat the annual war game simulating military conflict with an isolated country. that provocation while the u.s. maintains there. are those here some seventeen and a half thousand pound of ground troops are expected to take part john donne

emeritus professor at kings college temperature and the u.k. says there will be retaliation attacks american soldiers. which is a very dangerous situation because. what is happened in the past when north korea has actually. has always been the. real. target. to many in the forces i mean would be retaliation i believe you should ever think with clarity intention to use nuclear. weapons as a threat because it is possible to use. have been used before and they all use results or absolutely important. i don't think north korea wants to risk

a new. i mean you have to be crazy to do so. how us foreign policy sometimes goes against the wishes of the international community when it comes to food. in 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 may 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 attitude will see the escalation rest breaks suddenly doesn't solve the problem the solution to these cries this 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 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 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 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 venezuela including a. 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. . already has been campaigning to help find the relative or friend to russian speaking children stranded in an iraqi orphanage belief their parents traveled to the war torn country to join i sell and then either bandon them or were killed and he received responses from people who recognize some of the children one

that. you. why is that. 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 don't need to do that it was a. little bit of unknown it up 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. promise to suggest. that this. is.

the mom i know never. divulge. 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 that the state and us and the do. believe . this yet there is a glimmer of hope that she can grow up in peace and reunite with her family grandparents. play good good. know that you love the stuff. even question it was. it that you know. that nothing that it.

in america's secret prisons. the. psychologists a lawyer is claiming that their clients were public servants of those actions actions were authorized by the u.s. government they say everything the defendants dead was in the line of duty and carried out in an effort to protect innocent lives from suspected terrorists meanwhile an attorney for the american civil liberties union who represented the plaintiffs sas that 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 whistleblower john kerry akhil believes that there are more similar cases to come but the cia you 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. twenty eight minutes into the hour and you're watching our team for national we'll be back with a more news at the top of the hour.
