bluebird. the truth. is that. the bow to the decision the. civilians flee us led coalition airstrikes and i saw militant. organizations want people could face the same devastation witnessed in mosul. travels to the hometown of the suspected of masterminding the spain attacks. that they understood to have attended prayers led. to spin accused of being the ringmaster behind these terrorists. and with social divisions the us mainstream media pushing the idea it's big business. because new yorkers whether they want to

be inspired. here in the russian capital you're watching live with me. thanks for joining us this hour with us back to coalition forces advancing against the islamic state in the iraqi city of tal afar thousands of civilians are being displaced they say they're forced to flee from both coalition bombs and the threat posed by terrorists the situation in the city has the theory to dramatically causing humanitarian organizations to draw comparisons to the devastation witnessed in mosul. we were in from the shelling from we left the people from islamic states.

and our children a sick way stranded here without saying that there is no fresh water and some of the aid workers have been here but very few this is my son he is suffering and we have no electricity. is the latest objective in the u.s. backed war on islamic states it comes off the recapture of mosul following a nine month campaign that left much of the city in ruins over the operation to liberate tal afar which has been under eisel control for three years has little to ease the suffering of civilians there the if has more. fodder is the new ground zero in iraq on the one hand you have a massive formation of iraqi forces backed by u.s.

led coalition. versus isis trenched in the area for three years and in the middle of that you have desperate civilians and it isn't an easy choice for them staying. being used as human shields by. being killed by the coalition air strike or make a run for it. in the hope that you get out it isn't an easy choice. we are hungry we need clothes we need food and water yesterday we get contaminated water even the animals one drink it we're living in terrible conditions the u.n. fear for civilians in. suffering that the joy and the dead you danger of the face but getting away from isis may only be the worst part of the journey plenty

more obstacles to go if you travel throughout iraq it's very heavily militarized the numerous checkpoints on magic transport routes to get through those checkpoints you need documentation if you don't have this or if you have the wrong kind of documentation you are prevented from moving further on the people who fled tell us we understand been prevented from going into east mosul and settling there and also coming into the kurdistan region bill and other places in kurdistan without displacement camps when it comes to refugees there's a sense of paranoia here soldier manning the checkpoint seeing refugees approaching him. a real refugee from an infiltrator were a suicide bomber who's just trying to get close to blow his vest so the security precautions are absolutely necessary but they don't make the lives of refugees and

the. operation to liberate is less than a week old and while. much smaller we can only hope it doesn't end like mosul a city in ruins thousands dead more. and with nobody to hold accountable. according to the u.n. up to thirty thousand civilians are being trapped in the city basic necessities including food and medicine. unicef has been raising the alarm of a mass the splay sma caused by the fighting in the country according to the agency more than a million people half of them children were displaced as a result of the u.s. backed mosul operation another major concern is focused on tal afar where thousands have been forced to. ali moore are expected to leave as the operation intensifies for more on that we're going to cross live to unicef's representative in iraq. thanks for joining us today on our teams

a national survey good to have you with us just about these comparisons between tal afar and the mosul operation how concerned are you that things could turn for the worse in that region. first of all thank you very much for having me in your discussion today. for the first question you've asked the fighting is the fighting and the number of people regardless of the size that are affected by the confluence by the conflict is their concern to all of us what we know so far of the operation that's happening in. about thirty thousand people have already fled and between twenty to forty thousand people is still remain with dire humanitarian situation nobody actually knows exactly how many people are inside mosul what we know is the condition of the

people that are living in there is not something that is it's considered good. of food and water and other necessities running short of people who are coming out of mosul. i can see if in mustering boyne's and then after they receive in mustering once they're sent to comes and once people are in terms they join the other large id base that time comes it's very very difficult period it's very hard temperature goes up to forty eight in some areas and getting adequate water for the people is immediate priority as far as unicef and partners are concerned the priorities is to provide people as soon as they get into the mustering boyne's of places that they had received the adequate humanitarian assistance they need in terms of getting water in terms of getting them food we have developed developed

a something called hobbit response mechanism package that will consist of. emergency water food and some basic hygiene kits to support the people yes it's a difficult operation but. unicef and us are there to provide the basic assistance indeed appreciate it's a very tough situation for yourselves for the civilians on the ground as well when a stand off to mosul was liberated there were thousands of children that were left abandoned their parents were killed or fled. what's unicef doing to help those children is there a danger perhaps that the same could happen in tal afar where the children perhaps are the most vulnerable groups affected by this fighting. this is very very important question in any conflict and specifically the conflict of mosul the lessons we've learned is children do become the victim of the conflict

children become the ones that are greatly affected in the case of mosul unicef and protection partners to gether had been addressing the issues of accompany and separated children and so for over one thousand three hundred children work reunited with their parents and another eight hundred or so are now in the process this of being reunited with their parents and their relatives and their families ten percent or close to ten percent of those are children that our company and i come and it means they're coming into the mustering going. with no bottoms and with the no one with them and those children are concerned to unicef unicef working with the both government office and other large protection partners who tries to put those children in in. alternative care sometimes where they are

cared for and where they are provided support and this is the protection of the children is the priority for unicef under protection but for now in the case of a laugh out of we already have more buying protection teams that is stationed in all those most in ones and where people are coming in to identify children that are unaccompanied and us operated from their patterns and the process of tracing their loved ones tracing their patterns and take taking care of them already in place just like to get back to the final point you mentioned tracing the parents reuniting those unaccompanied children with their families. he has launched a special project to help russian speaking all. friends find their families have been working quite extensively in baghdad. to get those children reunited is that a project that perhaps could be replicated in other places as well where families

can recognize the children that they've been separated from they've lost and just be reunited with them again. first of all the issue of children that are associated with their fighting groups and now that are coming out with no bad and so with no relatives and we call them and a company we do not want to call them or fun is concerned it's a very sensitive issue we're warded off their protection the we're warded off of their identity we are worried of sort of the future if these children and where they are put in public and they are discussed in public and identities are disclosed they could be in sort of danger for their safety now and for their future so what unicef is doing is we are following through the protocols established and working with other partners like i.c.r.c.

to put those into structures that will track and trace their relatives that. known and they are mechanisms in how to treat them the support of the media is very good support what we want to be able to all media to make sure the faces of the children and the locations where they are not disclosed in public if i can just keep you on the point of a life. just because i want to get as many questions as i can you mention the danger. in identifying children. you know their location their faces etc i mean the relatives of recognized. from the specifically from the videos that we filmed in baghdad they've been contacting us directly thus helping to facilitate the you read the reuniting process with their families with the relatives abroad so the process is working perhaps faster than you know if that was not the case if

they didn't see them directly on on television so what is the danger there i mean we understand obviously it is a dangerous environment and you know it's so but it's was and it's unsafe but it's and specifically of reuniting those children with those families if the relatives are recognizing them getting intimate in touch getting their children out of the war zone then surely that is a process that does work but today the world we're living to day in the social media has bought the boss that if the negative aspect of it and yes in one way that one could could help identify but you can not rule out. the other negative aspects of the many other groups that that would want to harm children and we do not and in terms of protocol and in terms of the conventions on the rights of the children discuss. and publish

their faces in camera there are so many other ways that messages could be sent out without harming the children or without publicizing them in public televisions and the message could go out they are many many years of experience that i.c.r.c. and partners that work on tracing the victims that are separated by the war had been there so many wars in this world that agencies that have been dealing with children under uniting children with their parents had been doing so we have a protocols that are established and we would prefer to take the children through those protocols rather than putting them in public media publicizing them on beating them in front of camera exposes them more than you can imagine and the experiences of of bad things happening after children were put

in public domain so we would appeal to all the media to be careful on how much danger they exposed to children yes you might. there are some advantages but the danger that sly ahead out it's also the future of the child look at this child it's been leveled at some of one and brought on national television or international t.v. or a lot of people watching what is dignitaries asian that puts them on. ok small it was for unicef representative in iraq that was a reconnaissance i have thanks so much for your insight today here on out international greats have you with us today thank you so much. well he was the moral leader in the u.s. these days find out after this short break. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around

corporations corporations run washington the washington post media the media. voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. the current situation is that there's concerns on the part of the four arab countries egypt saudi arabia emirates. as relates to policies of qatar but i have to be addressed have had a very adverse impact on national security and the case of material evidence exists in the face of policies that have adversely impacted has created. a loss of life in egypt this is an intolerable situation.

come back to the program belgian or thirty's contacted their spanish counterparts last year amid concerns that he suspected of masterminding last week's twin atrocities in spain may have had terror it's claimed spanish police at the time deny that mom had any connection to terrorism well the main focus of attention now is on the small spanish town just south of the french border here is where the question preached in the local mosque and it's also where all the members of the terrorist cell grew up last week of course they carried out those twin roaming attacks in barcelona as well as the resort of on the coast here leaving fifty people dead and that all came just a day after what was believed to be the bomb making factory in another small town

in the south of spain here was destroyed in an explosion and want to speak to all of the travel to the pole to find the homes of the suspects and speak to locals who had known them since childhood. radicalizing force. in the uk in born police now believe the ripple was at the center of the plot. this small spanish town took to a in the foothills of the pyrenees is hardly what you think of as a hotbed of islamic terrorism but it was here in the fall that the terrorist cell which attacked barcelona recruited were indoctrinated and radicalized eventually going on to carry out their deadly mission. but it was here that the terrorists that rammed his truck into crowds of people and

boss a loner lived. the twenty two year old moroccan was gunned down on monday following eight four day manhunt by authorities. who our. local people here say they can't believe he lived within their community. they play football together on the beach nearby with other kids from the neighborhood they were brought up here. but. of course if. they were behind will happen round here can believe it the seem to be very nice people he will. be. roaming around but it's just that he was saluted with a whole slew of things that the cell melted into a full society attending the local high school and being a fixture on local football fields so how did say seemingly quiet group of

quiet teenage is on a quiet town and is part of a jihad to sell the answers to that many are looking towards the mosque that they attended it's here that they're understood to have attended prayers led by our society who's been accused of being the. ringmaster behind this terrorist cell the authorities pointed the finger at him and now that's being reiterated by some of those accused of being part of the cell have appeared in court but who is. what do we know about the thirty year old moroccan national we know that he had a criminal past in front back in twenty ten he was sent to prison here in spain for his part in a drug smuggling operation and it's in jail where he's understood to have become radicalized in fact he's believed to have spent time with those who plotted and

carried out the madrid bombings we also know that back in twenty sixteen he spent time in belgium around the time of the bombings on the metro the airports in brussels. he is believed to have been killed it was announced by authorities that his d.n.a. was found at the site of a bomb making factory did exploded and at the moment the authorities are writing that off as that his own potential weapons of death course him out in the end. as the investigation continues arrests continue to be made including that of the owner of an internet cafe that suspected members of the terrorist cell and no into a frequent it begs the question just how many small tranquil communities like this could potentially be harboring fatal terrorist cells peter all over spain.

now with critics claiming america's moral compass has lost direction on donald trump the u.s. mainstream media repeatedly pushing the idea it's big business leaders who now offer the best guidance. people in new york where they share that view. there's so much chaos and confusion these days many americans are looking for a new source of moral guidance so who should be having that stuff i think the founding fathers had a lot of inspiration there donald trump is the moral compass the u.n. secretary general antonio terrorists jimmy carter you like jimmy carter yes a lot of mainstream media outlets have another voice in mind the top dogs of corporate america. that's right the big boys in the boardrooms are now standing up for justice and

fighting the power after charlottesville they just can't hold back any longer hate should be condemned and has no place in a country that draws its strength from our diversity and humanity presidential missed a critical open to unity to help bring our country together the most clarifying voice has been the voice of business the chief executives have taken the risk to speak truth to power yes truth to power and these men are just known for their good deeds j.p. morgan got caught overcharging thousands of military families for their mortgages and had predatory lending practices that specifically targeted black and hispanic people walmart is known to get their clothes from sweatshops in bangladesh where the workers get paid fourteen cents an hour oh and over here they've been caught paying out millions of dollars in bribes in order to get building permits and deron walker's pepsi co they've been caught with discrimination in hiring practices and been forced to pay out millions of dollars in settlements and who can forget their

doesn't seem so they employ a lot of people minimum wage laws are what they are perhaps it isn't just a burning passion for social justice in the wall street suites but rather that they discovered that social justice is a great marketing strategy hale bopp and artsy new york. over to charlottesville virginia now where a controversial monument of a confederate general has been colored in a black shroud it was carried out to sponsor the mourning for a woman killed in the recent may have that erupted over that meticulous that she. wants broke out almost two weeks ago when a rally in support of the monument faced a counter protest since then a war on the confederate heritage has been proclaimed in different cause of the country with several monuments already demolished although sometimes the top gets slightly more unusual.

was it one the swiss national bank the sun and other such governments are now the biggest owners of stocks when japan is the biggest of exchange traded funds that's called nationalization that's socialism combined with the central bank of poland bureau that is fixing the price of money it's not a free money market for money and combined with the purchase of open houses in nationalizing those. calling islam that's nationalism that's why this global economy is shrinking because these social banks amount to what danny blanchflower to our says they're not operating in ways to free markets.
