brady told today the coalition it was very clear that they would no insurgents in the area at the u.n. expresses deep concern over the mounting civilian casualties in the syrian first year block after coalition air strikes reportedly told. you. that. it was. protests erupt outside a trump rally in the u.s. state of arizona following the president the unity speech about the charlottesville

violence and his change to walpole mode of afghanistan. and r.t. visits a yemeni boy aged twelve in just three years is undergoing twenty three operations country gripped by conflict between the rebels and the government supported by saudi arabia's bombardment. there it's two pm here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me thank you aaron good to have you with us. the u.n. is raising the alarm over reports as strikes conducted by the u.s. led coalition killed dozens of civilians in the syrian city of raka. our humanitarian colleagues tell us they're deeply concerned by unconfirmed reports of a high number of civilians killed by airstrike in iraq

a city over the last twenty four hours yesterday unconfirmed reports indicate that over thirty people were reportedly killed in the us us keeney neighborhood while eight internally displaced people from the same family were killed in a separate attack in another part of the city these attacks if confirmed are shocking reminder that civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict in many parts of syria in recent days and weeks scores of civilians have reportedly been killed and injured in iraq out jus to airstrikes and shelling and up to twenty five thousand people remain trapped in the city the u.n. condemns any attack that is directed against civilians or civilian infrastructure when you philistia some of these reports it's easy to believe that the exaggeration a recent one by the u.s. led coalition is accused of bombing a house packed with civilians killing dozens and dozens of innocents even more bodies buried under the rubble and then multiple sources begin repeating the same

reports footage begins to a much videos pictures that supports these reports and these claims but what's truly eye opening is hearing the survivors tell what they've been through most of that if they can what we were directly targeted by the coalition it was very clear that they would no insurgents in the area there were children playing in the streets and we were carrying water from a tap on house and civilly and homes were directly targeted or reports about the use of white phosphorus civilian areas being peppered with chemical weapons l.s.s. and we move we heard that the coalition use white phosphorus near iraq it was dropped by the warplanes who else could have done it it had to be the planes they were targeting a civilian neighborhood. we've contacted the u.s. led coalition are asking them to comment on some of these allegations and we got the standard response that they're taking all of this very seriously and that they

investigating. one of the defacto we leaders of the u.s. led coalition is actually be with us james mattis the u.s. secretary of defense and d.s. well optimistic. very very. very high cost hardly does justice to how much iraqis have lost and sacrifice during this struggle take mosul an hour's drive from us once a city of two million now reduced to largely a wreck abandoned by its people we talked to an acquaintance of us this morning he works as a rescue worker in mosul he said that the emergency services have now recovered pulled out from under the rubble around a thousand corpses videos families woman and children they estimate that as many as

five thousand bodies still buried under the rubble in mosul he says that there are entire treats that it is difficult to walk through because of the smell of rotting bodies just west of that. and while james mattis is optimistic here and in that two hours drive from here he's jets a pounding another community tens of thousands of people a trap now in a new war zone the iraqi military the u.s. led coalition of trying to push isis out of. the conditions there is said to be desperate food medicine and even drinking water running out of. people. everything in the whole life is destroyed this is my mother she couldn't. walks away put her over my shoulder and we walk like that for thirteen hours but now we are here and we have nothing. difficult there is no air conditioning there is no

food we pay for room food we were the truth. at the end of the day there's little doubt that i just in iraq will be defeated albeit at a tremendous cost but the u.s. led coalition and the iraqi military have demonstrated that it is a price they will let the civilians of iraq pay. all the nicholas davies who has written about the invasion of iraq believes the u.s. isn't taking the issue of so-called collateral damage seriously they are not taking responsibility for the true scale of civilian casualties in two thousand and seven the u.n. said very clearly the bombing of. civilian areas is a violation of international human rights law and that the presence of

a few competence in a civilian area does not change the nature of that area it is still a civilian area essentially what the u.s. has done in the last sixteen years has been to two renormalizing the bombing of cities i'm i'm sure many of us have seen video of mosul at the end of this this bombing campaign or of other cities like. sierra to libya that have simply been reduced to rubble by u.s. bombing and the artillery fire. the u.s. air force says it may intensify its airstrikes in afghanistan following president trump decision to step up the sixteen year long military campaign there on monday trump announced an open ended surge of troops and money to the country in a major u.

turn on his election promises he then headed to arizona to speak in front of his supporters but was met with protests outside the venue. police formed a barrier to prevent breast with smoke bombs and fireworks being thrown at them hundreds came out to protests more than a week after the deadly violence in charlottesville and the president's controversial remarks on the role of hate groups trump defended his response during the rally calling out the k.k.k. and neo nazis racial tensions have intensified and recent days and it seems they have overshadowed trump's decision to drag the country into a dead end war jacqueline's who got reports the way president donald trump is portrayed you think you are evil leader the likes of which america has never seen shadow of moscow seems to haunt president trump the shining light of democracy has

gone dark and it was. you know if you're a speech is take a look at what some of the new year not is are saying about his speech. even terms announcement of a new afghan strategy was skewed to supposedly show how the president was stirring up racial tension the president began his nationally televised address monday and i urge ng about i can still come together to rise above racial and ethnic divisions he wanted to speak to the nation about charlottesville and his comments he should have spoken to the nation about stroke zero and modeled it by putting it into a speech about afghanistan that's what i thought as an american but can we just get back to afghanistan for a second please the president just made a fairly hawkish decision to boost america's military presence in the. country unfamiliar on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime and afghanistan i know that many of you have grown weary of this conflict. as you are

well aware i do not support the idea of endless war yet given what's at stake in afghanistan i am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort i don't well what both previous presidents both democrat and republican chose to do so it seems hard but clearly not impossible to chalk it up as just another misstep by the big bad billionaire we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorist and criminal networks that so violence and chaos throughout afghanistan this is in traditional with all u.s. president trump is no continue in that long held tradition and if we look at u.s. foreign policy over the decades it is one long today pretty much on broken into our action or gender always regime change or military intervention is always the order of the day diplomacy always takes a backseat over the years afghanistan has been a massive drain on both the us financial and human resources and yet trump is

choosing to soldier on. and all of those resources have led to little measurable success loss to the quagmire of the afghan conflict understand it's my responsibility we're not winning in afghanistan right now. this in tahrir is intended to put pressure on the talabani through. the taliban understand you will not win the battle there are three we may not with one but you things are going to get worse for the people of afghanistan especially the civilians we're going to see formal casualties their country in general is going to

continue to spiral out of control some of the neo con generals the retired generals a couple years ago talked about a military u.s. military presence in afghanistan for at least fifty years. i can easily see that happening because there's hardly any opposition so despite the promises of making america great again that it seems that washington is just going to continue to fight and that endless war that seems almost impossible of actually winning. r.t. washington d.c. well under trump's new plan the u.s. is expected to send up to four thousand troops to afghanistan however the exact number is being kept secret america's top commander for the middle east joseph says the first new forces could arrive in just a matter of weeks we asked former u.s. congressman ron paul about the implication of the president's decision. changes the words and makes it sound like the world will come apart if we don't continue to be the world's policeman he says he's not into nation building but

there was a pretense anyway how many nations that we can really build or improve we've torn nations apart so he is seen as a flip flopper which i think politically is a bad position to be. going to be perpetual war nobody knows exactly who the enemy is and nobody will know when it is ended i think trump has been maybe a little bit more upfront that his goal isn't to get done in six months or a year it looks like he's planning to be there for the long term. he wants to increase the troop levels than he will but we don't know exactly and we who are on the pro peace side think that he should do very very little without the consent of the congress and yet it sounds to me like even though he wants to give away some of his authority and say well the generals are in charge the generals in charge let them make all the decisions. and if he flip flops and goes

along with the neo cons which it looks like he has he's not going to win them over the people who support mccain and graham and rubio they're not going to all of them say oh yeah it looks like trump is one of us now we're going to support a so i think he loses i think he loses in a political way he loses support from some of his base and he's not going to gain any support from the people who are now saying oh he looks like he's waking up in the he's accepting the neo con position approach to a war still to come later in the private groundhog the spanish town every poll has a national potential hope that terrorists often last week's deadly attacks in spain got that story and more coming up after this break. seems wrong. we just don't all. get to shape

our. attic. and in detroit it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the feeling of. every. experience. that you get out of the old. according to jess.

welcome back at least thirty five people have reportedly been killed often as strike it's a hotel in the yemen's capital sana who's the rebels have blames the attack on saudi arabia which is regularly carried out bombardments riyadh supporting the governments which is finding against the rebels therefore we cannot independently verify this information but the sound of that coalition has been repeatedly accused of killing civilians in yemen or their riyadh denies the claims. well artie has been to visit a yemeni boy aged twelve tired almost double that number in operations after falling victim to armed clashes in his country just a warning you may find the following images upsetting.

hamid rarely gets the chance to leave hospital constantly battling against cholera the saudi led coalition is accused of being responsible for the outbreak of the disease in yemen which has been described as the worth in the world after it cut off supplies of medicine and food to rebel controlled areas that was the conclusion of a study by the queen mary university in london. someone living in rebel controlled areas is seventy percent more likely to contract cholera and fifty percent more likely to die from cholera than somebody living in government controlled areas so the internationalized government in yemen are supported by a saudi that coalition this coalition has bombed the rebel controlled areas

pretty much most of the city. and without much concern for for civilian life. they've been civilian infrastructure so we've seen hospitals destroyed schools destroyed the coalition is also enforced a naval blockade on the rebel controlled areas and this means that there are shortages of food shortage of fuel shortages of medicine all of which contribute to a situation where cholera can prosper. hamid's father says all these tragic episodes in the boy's life explain why he's so vulnerable to the devastating epidemic that swept the country. had a broader community even a slight cough affects him badly he's very weak his elbow has been damaged by frequent falls as you can see his neck is injured as well these tragedies come from war the boy spent in. in intensive care before regaining consciousness he's undergone surgery many times and will need me reparations could all his injuries

he's lost his hair. but number of cholera cases in yemen has now exceeded a half a million they are break of the water borne disease has been filled by the destruction of the country's infrastructure juror in the war and ongoing saudi led air strikes the world health organization has spells out the problems is that if there were only one hundred people in yemen more than half of them wouldn't have access to clean water and would have been at risk of damage the red cross in the region stressed because yemen is manmade. a bit less than two thousand people who have died half of the people who are affected by the color are children and a quarter of the people who have died from six suspected cholera cases are children everything of the country has collapsed that includes the water system it includes the health system it also includes the fact that there is no garbage collection in the country. is

a water borne disease when you don't have garbage collection when you don't have proper treatment off for the water it's a whole number of factors that make that that cause the squalor of the break to be as serious as it is and as it was the situation in yemen into that is extremely bad it's a manmade situation it's due to the fact that there is a war going on in the country and there are people who are civilians who are being the highest brace of this war. the spanish town of report has found itself at the center of the investigation into last week's terror attacks many members of the cell which carried out the twin atrocities killing fifteen had grown up together and been radicalized in this small town on the border with france . because investigators have identified a less robust terrorist and skewness quds

a suspected driver of the fat comes from the pier in ian talon ripple. of the. police searched the apartment of an imaam in revolt he says it could have been a radicalizing force the way they were used in the normal life i used to see them walking to buy bread over there you know on t.v. there you see a small community center now with peace who are together but this peace has been broken. because i still believe in the movies there are twelve people in this terrorists and.

this shows us that we have prejudice some of these are radical islamists are are there not just people growing in the suburbs of our town and adult jobs outside of the posh city centers we can find them anywhere in europe in society today know in small villages which will see villages nobody will talk about it ripples very picturesque village and no catalonia and even there we have islamist bases i think that this shows how widespread this status movement or trend is in europe today it's much bigger than what people thought and it can be actually anywhere. so these are the suspected members of the terrorist cell in question and there has been widespread surprise at just how young many of them were the boss the loner attacker was only twenty two years old for instance radicalized teenagers is not a new phenomenon just last year a sixteen year old syrian teenager was arrested on suspicion of plotting

a bomb attack in the german city of cologne a fifteen year old boy was arrested in paris on suspicion of planning an attack in public spaces and two girls aged fourteen and fifteen back then were arrested on the same suspicions and their homes were raided while we sent to the town of ripon on a search mission of his own some are you get to see for yourself just what he finds there here's a taste of what's coming up. in the building just behind me. he is understood accused of being the mastermind behind the terror attacks he spent time in prison in twenty ten until twenty fourteen after he was charged and convicted for smuggling hasheesh it's understood growing while he was in prison he turned to radical islam and may well have met with planned and carried out the two thousand and four madrid train bombing.

spain attacks clearly demonstrated radicalization is getting younger but in belgium employees of one kindergarten have reportedly have reported signs of islamic radicalization even among toddlers children were said to have made death threats to unbelievers calling them pigs and even displayed hand gestures imitating throat cutting it's claimed they've been reciting verses from verses from the qur'an during play time or they have reportedly skipped classes because the kindergartens vision does not fit in with their beliefs well we spoke to the co-ordination director at the facility. who says they are even more concerns now about the children after what happened in spain. in fact there was a lead about an internal document made up of kindergarten

leaders in the framework of and then this should give to strengthen their got leaders and to train them to recognize signs of possible radicalization is a very early stage with toddlers and in the aftermath of. the barcelona acts it's you know very about you know radicalization and islam related terrorism or jihad isn't. it promises to be the future of combat unlike anything that's taken to the skies before and although russia's new project of a hyper speed jet is shrouded in secrecy a few tantalizing details have come to light like the fact that it will be reaching new highs quite literally as it's set to travel to space the m.i.t. forty one will easily outpace rivals thundering along at four times the speed of sound that's twice as quick as concorde to the teeth it will even have lasers

designed to intercept enemy missiles aviation analyst the brits polies says it promises to be a breakthrough in technology the airplane will be flying between all six or six times the speed of sound and it will have shown elements of. intelligence bill into the jet but because obviously flying at those speeds the human brain is not capable of thinking that fast you're going to have an interface you need it with artificial intelligence and marriage to control the clock with a lot of new technology going to be put into this aircraft to shock the other one that is we can about human community sign is the ability to have laser weapons and the laser weapons will allow this interceptor aircraft to set and only michel's and design gauge them before. so they hear it's. about more news at the top of the hour day joining us.

with more make its manufacture consent to step up to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous larry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. to lose around the real news room. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the night the senate is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what this really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of party america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue nothing better and see people you never heard of love

redacted the night not the president of the world bank so they can go write me seriously send us an e-mail. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations from washington washington controls the media the media the. voters elected a businessman to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. greetings and salutations sixteen years strong and it appears that the united

states military adventure in afghanistan will still be going strong under president donald j. trump despite despite his numerous campaign trail statements to the contrary a monday night president trump took to the podium and the airwaves like presidents george w. bush and barack obama before him to once again pledge the united states's undying commitment to waging war inside of afghanistan and what truly has become the war that never ends don't worry i will sing the song this time the president under the auspices of not wanting to give away our plans to the enemy offered little to no actual information to the seventeen million plus who tuned in on what the next phase of you has occupation of afghanistan will be he did proclaim however from now on victory will have a clear definition attacking our enemies will be literate eating ice is crushing al qaeda preventing the taliban.
