country's gripped by conflict. the government backed by saudi arabia's bombing campaign. anything to my name is watching international. the u.n. is raising the alarm over reports that as strikes by the u.s. led coalition if killed dozens of civilians in the syrian city of. our humanitarian colleagues tell us they're deeply concerned by unconfirmed reports of a high number of civilians killed by air strike in iraq a city over the last twenty four hours these attacks if confirmed are shocking reminder that civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict in many parts of syria when you first hear some of these reports it's easy to believe that they

exaggerations take a recent one by the u.s. led coalition is accused of bombing a house packed with civilians killing dozens and dozens of innocents you know and multiple sources begin repeating the same reports footage begins to a much videos pictures that supports these that reports and these claims one thing to do more travel to the off hospital and you know a witness and survive with testimonies anything to go by these things happen regularly is that the finish second was we were directly targeted by the coalition it was very clear that they would know 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 would do great be targeted reports about the use of white phosphorus civilian areas being peppered with chemical weapons on a system in which we heard that the coalition used white phosphorous near iraq it was dropped by the warplanes who else could have done it it had to be the planes

we've contacted the u.s. led coalition are asking them to comment on some of these allegations and be got the standard response that they're taking all of this very seriously and that they investigating and karen one of the defacto we leaders of the u.s. led coalition is actually in the edit be with us james mattis the u.s. secretary of defense and d.'s well optimistic we will continue to be part of iraq the people in our military pain the stability that will have been earning a very very high price for a very. high cost hardly does justice to how much iraqis have lost take mosul an hour's drive from us once a city of two million now reduced to largely a wreck just west of that. wall james mattis is optimistic here in that two hours drive from here he's jets a pounding and now the 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 is scarce medicine and even drinking water running out. of here is difficult there is no air conditioning there is no food with the wrong food people are in everything you know life is destroyed at the end of the day there is little doubt that isis in iraq will be defeated albeit at a tremendous cost. from the international committee of the red cross told us the residents face multiple danger even if they manage to escape from the city. no i think that it is for civilians for aid agencies to enter the. military you go on that course is going to get even more intense the people who are

leaving be able. to leave many of them well. nine while being shot. provisions have been painful and of course we think that there are a lot of that have been. now of course that people in. these similar to what move on up suffered on the love. water. in addition of course to. not having seafood. pakistan's hit back at donald trump's claims that it supports terrorists is the new strategy for afghanistan islamabad responded that the country is being singled out as a scapegoat but other countries also face the president's ruffa samir khan explains . the afghanistan strategy is starkly similar to that of his of previous administrations specially promising to boost military presence but not setting any

withdrawal deadlines this raises questions of how original his policies really are but it seems like washington is actively looking around to find someone else in the region to fight the taliban or simply someone to blame for the failed campaign they are housing the very terrorists that we are fighting. but that will have to change it is time for pakistan to demonstrate its commitment to civilization order and to peace suppose that u.s. ally pakistan was singled out by trump for providing safe havens for terrorists this is an allegation baucus on reacted angrily to accusing trouble of trying to find a scapegoat for the us is failures in afghanistan washington also threw india into the mix calling upon india's support to resolve the conflict though it wasn't exactly clear how we've got to put the pressure on india that they have to be part

of the political solution or doing it together it's not the united states alone it's not just us allies who are told what to do of course all the usual suspects have been named as allegedly behind taliban successes on the battlefield we have two large the shore of interest to the russia is supplying arms to the taliban that is a violation russia has comically been accused time and time again of supplying arms to the taliban moscow however stated that it has no illicit contacts with the taliban and insisted that they don't provide weapons to the insurgents but at the moment washington is just maybe searching for an exit strategy from a sixteen year deadlock by trying not to share the burden and the blame but also by issuing what some believe are unjustified demands. from soft on announcement spoke to media outcry over his supposed failure to address last week's show this full attack very good takes

a look at how the announcement is being received. the way president donald trump is portrayed you think he is an evil leader the likes of which america has never seen the world's shining light of democracy as one of the most radical everybody you know if you're a speech is take a look at what some of the neo nazis are saying about his speech. even trump announcement of a new afghan strategy was skewed to supposedly show how the president was stirring up racial tensions he wanted to speak to the nation about charlottesville and his comments he should have spoken to the nation about charlottesville 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 sound familiar on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in 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 given what's at stake in afghanistan i am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort i doubt will 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 tradition with all u.s. president trump is no continuing long held tradition and if we look at u.s. foreign policy over the decades it is one long to do 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 resource. 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 taliban through the taliban understand you will not win a battlefield there are three we may know which one but neither will you 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 they might be

exaggerating but i can easily see that happening because there's this hardly any opposition so despite promises of making america great again it seems that washington is just going to continue to fight and that endless war that seems almost impossible of actually winning. washington d.c. . on the trump's new plan the u.s. is expected to send up to four thousand more troops to afghanistan but the exact number remaining a secret america's top commander for the middle east joseph o'toole says the first new forces could arrive within weeks former u.s. congressman ron paul told us about the implications of the president's decision. he 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 that 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 up front 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 in 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 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. even 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 follow suit

and say oh yeah it looks like trump is one of us now we're going to support it 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 and he's accepting the neo con position approach or. we visit the small spanish town where the terrorists behind two recent attacks grew up that story and we'll after this break. to.

what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. be this is what the three of them will be good. interested always in the water. to. come back forty people are confirmed dead after an airstrike has a hotel near yemen's capital sanaa that's according to

a good many officials and they blame the attack on saudi arabia which is regularly carried out bombardments of the country riyadh supporting began many governments which is fighting against the rebels we have not been able to independently verify that information but they sounded like coalition has been repeatedly accused of killing civilians in yemen although riyadh denies such claims. meanwhile artie's been to visit a yemeni boy age twelve who's already had almost two dozen operations have to falling victim to armed clashes in his country i must warn you you may find it coming images disturbing.

how means father told r.t. about the heartbreaking suffering that his son has already been through in his short life. he had a project to be at 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 all these tragedies come from war the boy spent a month in intensive care before regaining consciousness he's undergone surgery many times and will need more operations who could all his injuries he's lost all his hair. or hamid rarely gets a chance to leave hospital because of his constant battle against cholera so the local relations being blamed for the widespread outbreak of the horrific disease in yemen thought to be the worst cholera epidemic ever recorded that's after the coalition cut off supplies of medicine and food to rebel controlled areas during conclusions come in the study from the queen mary university of 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 ah 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 and naval blockade on the rebel controlled areas this means that there are shortages of food shortages of fuel shortages of medicine all of which contribute to a situation where cholera can prosper. sleeping spanish town of ripple now lies at the center of a major investigation into last week's terrorist attacks where members of the

terrorist cell behind the atrocities grew up together and were radicalized. police investigators have identified the less rambus terrorists as. the suspected driver of the van comes from the tyranny in town of ripple. the. police searched the apartment of a new mom and report it said could have been a radicalizing force. during normal life i used to see them walking to buy bread a. small community up until now when the. peacefully together but this piece has been broken. just to believe at the

moment there are twelve people in this terrorist cell. now these are the suspected members of the cell and some people expressed surprise just how many and just how young they were asked lerner attacker eunice for example was just twenty two they were radicalized young men and even teens are not a new phenomenon for example last year a sixteen year old syrian boy was arrested on suspicion of plotting a bomb attack in the german city of cologne a fifteen year old boy was also arrested in paris on suspicion of planning an attack in public areas there and two girls aged fourteen and fifteen time were arrested on the same suspicions and their homes were raided our correspondent peter all of a travel to the now infamous town of report tomorrow you'll be able to see for

yourself just exactly what he found that for now though here's a quick taste the interim of the mosque located in the building just behind me our bill barclay he is understood and 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 broke while he was in prison he turned to radical islam. meanwhile following the spate of vehicle ramming terror attacks across europe major cities have been reinforcing security at popular tourist sites in milan for example concrete security barriers have been installed at the historic city center as well as at the entrance to its most famous shopping center the galleria concrete barriers have also been put upon westminster bridge in london that's following two terrorist incidents in the british capital over locals are complaining that the anti terror measures are ugly and spoil the look of the area while others maintain that it's

a necessary price to pay for safety spain attacks clearly demonstrated radicalization is getting younger but in belgium employees of one kindergarten 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 the rope cutting its claimed that they've been reciting verses from the qur'an during playtime or they have reportedly skip classes because the kindergartens vision does not fit in with their beliefs we spoke to the coordination director of the facility get spiegel here who says that they are even more concerned now about the children after what happened in spain in fact there was a leak. about an internal documents made up by a kindergarten leaders in the framework of an initiative to

strengthen their got leaders and to train them to recognize signs of possible radicalize ation is a very early stage with toddlers and in the aftermath of the divorce a little tax it's you know very it she you know radicalization than islam related terrorism or jihad is. but the problem could be much more widespread than previously thought across the most five hundred cases have been found of schools with radicalization issues political commentator david vance told us that the roots of the problem go far deeper. conventionally when we talk about radicalization we normally referred to i guess young man and then perhaps late teens early twenty's as we've seen for example in barcelona and we've seen the horrendous consequences in this instance

what we're talking about is radicalization in the kindergarten before them even got to primary school they're being encouraged kid of on exposed to horrific ideas you know if we are actually having kindergartens annoy centers for potential. cation of jihad theology then we've got a fundamental problem like staying with us here this evening on r t international i'll be back home to see you at the top of the hour. when you can you. know melissa another morning one million people. killed people even.

now no one's income tooling a few pennies around and that's. just manufactured consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling class is protect themselves. the famous larry go round listen to the will so. we can all middle routes to. the real news room.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to lunch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of our three americans doing the same thing we are apparently better than the blue. sea people you've never heard of low or down to the next president of the world but i'm so very. many seriously send us an email. i'm with the francis is the boss broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. tonight american icon ford motor company if that's produced it's electric cars in china and numerous others are following suit also the european union is taking

a hard look at buyer's sixty six billion dollar takeover of monsanto it calls into question the fairness of competition pesticides and my guest weighs in on president trump's new plans for afghanistan we explore the economic implications of stand by for us starts right now. lockheed martin has just snapped up a four hundred twenty seven million dollars contract to supply the u. . as militaries f. thirty five joint strike fighter aircraft with pilot flight equipment and ancillary military equipment the f. thirty five program has been mired in budgeting problems and technical issues in recent years and has suffered public criticism by president donald trump for its

cost overruns this is on the back of a massive deal struck in february when the pentagon agreed to pay lockheed martin eight point five billion dollars for ninety f. thirty five that's a cut rate deal in the face of the president's criticism and public backlash in january news emerged that the program was delayed and would cost taxpayers five hundred million more dollars than expected the f. thirty five program budget hit four hundred billion dollars that's nearly double its original cost over the course of fifteen years this new deal is set to be wrapped up by december two thousand and twenty. monday night president donald trump laid out his strategy for the seventeen year old war in afghanistan and said the security threats are immense as a result despite years of calling for pulling out of the country he now says he has

a secret afghanistan afghanistan strategy which will include an attack here to discuss the policy the political and market impact as well of the president's speech last night as former u.s. trade commissioner bart chilton bart thank you so much always a joy to have you sit at this table with me and break down the issues this really was a completely different donald trump on afghanistan anyway from candidate trump or even private citizen trump if we go back to two thousand and twelve take a listen to what he had to say on this. conditions on the ground not arbitrary timetables will guide our strategy from now on america's enemies must never know our plans or believe they can wait us out i will not say when we are going to attack but attack we will. ok quick ating on things is new for this president but does this show he's maturing in office or

is that just too much to hope right now i'm not sure about maturing in office lindsey i think it's pretty obvious that he's listening to the generals not only john kelly his chief of staff but the general but master of national security council and former general now secretary jim matheson the department of defense i think they have more influence and rightly so i'm glad they're there and i think afghanistan is just a typical thing that you're seeing what you will see more and more of going forward the generals have a louder voice in the administration with all the shake up that's been going on there during the last. you know eleven days we've seen a lot of the president himself has taken some incoming fire a lot from members of his own party over as comments regarding charlotte's fell into new poll in fact six in ten people say they're embarrassed of the president's remarks right in charlottesville president lost his standing and representing our values do you think.
