oh please yeah because the john oliver of our two year marriage is doing the same we are apparently better than blues nothing's better than to see people you've never heard of love are down for the night and president of the world bank so there you go really mean it seriously send us an e-mail. our children are sick restrung to be with them see there is no fresh water anymore as civilians flee the u.s. led coalition as strikes and i still militants in iraq he says you have taleban humanitarian groups want people there face the same utter devastation witnessed in mosul. r.t. travels to the hometown of the a mom who suspected of radicalizing the group of men who carried out the recent spain. it's clear that the understood to have attended prayers led by on the subsidy he's been accused of being the ringmaster behind this terrorist so.

human rights groups the u.k. government for trapping refugees in libya's wars are fearing this huge aid package to the country will be used to stop civilians fleeing the fighting. there it's five pm here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me now. with u.s. banks coalition forces advancing against islamic state in the iraqi city of tel afar thousands of civilians are being displaced they say they're forced to flee from both coalition bombs and the threat posed by the terrorists. that we were in from the shelling from the. we lift the people from islamic state

along. with that. our children are sick we're stranded here without saying that there is no fresh water and some of the aid workers have been here but very few of them this is my son he is suffering and we have no electricity. telephone is the latest objective in the u.s. bank war on islamic state it comes after the recapture of mosul following a nine month campaign that left much of the city in ruins however the operation to liberate teller fall which has been on the ice the control for three years has the lists all to ease the suffering of civilians there are doubts you have explains. downtown mosul or what's left of it and now dr west is tied up saw the new ground zero in iraq and there a huge

a rocky army backed by u.s. led coalition air power is facing off against isis which has been entrenched for three years and brute sides are throwing everything they've got. trapped in the middle of thirteen thousands of videos face a stark choice still risk being killed in a coalition air strike being used as human shields by isis or make a run for it and you aren't in the crossfire but you do make it through the desert the most in this heat. 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. fears for civilians trapped the deadly danger and the suffering that the jewels are

getting out of thought of far you're getting away from isis it may be the first step there's plenty of all particles to go if you travel throughout iraq it's very heavily militarized. 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 to understand it being prevented from going into east mosul and settling then and also coming into the could. fail and other places in town without displacement camps on top of all of that there's a sense of paranoia here imagine. you're a soldier manning the checkpoint and you see one hundred people approaching you how are you going to tell the real refugees from isis infiltrators or indeed suicide

bombers who just trying to get close to their vest so the security precautions are absolutely necessary but it will make the lives of refugees and the easier the operation to liberate has only just begun but we can hope it doesn't end like this like mosul city in ruins thousands dead more missing and buried under the rubble and with nobody to hold accountable. and as the operation to liberate how a far intensifies many have spotted striking similarities with the mosul campaign that left thousands dead indeed both cities were i saw strongholds besieged by u.s. banks coalition forces and just like telefon now fountains of civilians were trapped inside mosul and a bar of bombs while those trying to flee well caught in crossfire and those remaining had no access to humanitarian aid to get food or same basic necessities

fast running out we spoke to star as a card from the red cross who says teller far may well face the devastation witnessed in mosul and the operations that have been going forward of course we see that there are a lot of others have been made of course that he. will need similar consequence to what the political nothing very much on the left who can flaunt your furnace doesn't he's the man who is going to get more and the people who are leading the written into careers the men you know then. nine while being shot. in neighboring syria over twenty thousand civilians remain trapped in the five i still held neighborhoods of the city of raka the u.n. has called for a humanitarian pause there branding this area the worst place on earth with the video and suffering from terrorists as well as the heavy fighting. i cannot think

of a worse place on earth now than in these five neighborhoods. forty and for these twenty thousand people there is a. constant air raids from the coalition so the cache of civilian casualties are. large and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians. meanwhile. rights group honesty international has issued a report on the suffering of civilians trapped in the thirty hey i'll some of that chilling testimony. it was how many shell struck the area residents did not know how to save themselves some people ran from one place to another on the to be bombed there didn't the s.d.f. and the coalition know that the place was full of civilians we were stuck there because dias did lastly my sisters my mother my nephews and nieces were bombed to

shrewd for no reason for strikes against a house full of women and children why don't they keep watch over the targets before they bomb if they had they would have known that there were only women and children there well we discussed the diocese to ation with david swanson from the un office for the coordination of humanitarian a fat if. the humanitarian situation or the up to twenty five thousand civilian here and still trapped in a city is nothing short of dire access to safe drinking water food and other basic services are at an all time low with many residents relying on food they had stored up earlier on to survive on equally disturbing is the fact that health access is very very or there are very few doctors on the ground there is currently only one functioning hospital and a unit in the ice a controlled part of the city so it is extremely difficult the only way we can

provide assistance to those people who have fled and as you are well aware more than seventy five thousand people have fled the city since the offensive began in june of this year is when they reach the outside in the areas in which they are displaced too that is the only way we can reach people at the moment. it's emerged the belgian authorities contacted their spanish counterparts last year amid concerns the a mom who's suspected of masterminding last week's twin atrocities in spain may have had terror links it's claimed spanish police at the time denied the mom had any connection to terrorism well the main focus of attention is now on the smallest sleepy spanish town of report this where the a mom in question preached in the local mosque and it's also where all the members of the terrorist cell grew up last week they carried out twin roaming attacks in barcelona on the resort of cambria was leaving fifteen people dead and it came just

a day after what was believed to be their bomb making factory in our corner and was destroyed in an explosion are to piece all of our travel to report to find the homes of the suspects and to speak to locals who have known them since childhood. radicalizing force that it collides by a moroccan born police now believe the ripper was at the center of the cloud. this small spanish town took away 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. was. but it was here that the terrorists that rammed his truck

into crowds of people in wasilla loner lived. the twenty two year old moroccan was gunned down on monday following eight four day manhunt by authorities. the 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 since they were little but. of course if. they were behind what happened around here we can believe it the seem to be very nice people who will. be probably be roaming around but it's just here they keep. saluting with a whole slew of things that the cell melted in whole 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 room. 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. 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 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 in at the moment the authorities are writing bad 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 of a day. after repeated cases of terrorists using the vehicles to round pedestrians fifty's across europe have been taking precautions. concrete barriers have been stored in k. locations they've been post open shopping senses central school was once the iconic . moment in the southern french city of nice but where a truck killed eighty seven people last year. the u.k. is accused of trapping libyan refugees in a war zone find out the details of the shortbread it's. called the feeling of. every the world should you.

and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to josh. for the. local blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that are going. to do so for the tell you that every gossip the tabloids buy fell. off of our eyes and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with are on walking.

welcome back now questions foreign secretary has been accused of trapping libyan refugees in the country's walser after pledging millions of pounds on support for border patrols stopping civilians getting out of the country speaking about a trip to libya's capital boris johnson insisted the u.k. will help reduce the number of illegal migrants heading for you. it is so important that we work with the libyan government and our partners to help bring stability to libya stopping it from becoming a fertile ground for terrorists and people traffickers you close proximity to your humanitarian group doctors without borders whose ship was allegedly fired on by the libyan coast guard has accused the british government of trying to sweep the refugee problem under the carpet clear see what he wanted terry and campaign manager for the oxfam charity told us attempts to keep refugees in a war zone are a clear violation of international monetary and rights. simply throwing money at at

the issue would not be enough what is required is a long sustained investment and the opportunity for people to be safe and protected both now and in the future what we've been really disappointed with is the fact that this just flies in the face of international conventions it is in the refugee convention which all the european countries have signed up to that people are allowed to seek asylum on their shores and they have really abandoned that that sends an incredibly dangerous signal out to the rest of the world is the responsibility of these countries and wealthy countries all over the world to step up and actually take in more refugees right now some of the poorest countries in the world the host of the most and yet somehow europe the richest country in the world the twenty eight countries step up and even in something similar to that. speaking in tripoli johnson insisted the u.k. will back the coastguards efforts to secure libya's borders the coast guard's been trained by the u.k.'s next navy and is getting substantial support from the e.u.

countries however it's been repeatedly accused of killing shooting and abusing migrants as well as attacking aid workers oxfam's humanitarian campaign manager again says the e.u. support is part of an attempt to close european borders the u.k. and the european union have for the last couple of years made a concerted effort to shut down borders and we see that happening out of the extreme cost to the individuals who are fleeing war and persecution and poverty is part of that for them it's simply a matter of shutting it down on paper they say that they're trying to explore other options and open up safe safe routes for people but we really just not seeing that happen or we've seen as a shutting down of routes which is left people with really few other options then to take risky routes meanwhile in rome police have used water cannon to disperse more than a hundred migrants. crimes

of migrants have taken to the streets in protest over the a vixen of hundreds of people from an occupied building rioting refugees through projectiles at offices and blocked nearby streets with a number of migrants still on the rise in europe questions have been raised over security on the continent we spoke to cal a deputy mayor phillips who believes that those who pose a threat should be sent back to their native countries alongside special measures being put in place in iraq. i think we really need. some. european office for intelligence to be created on board. i know there is in europe . project about it but it's not only projects we need we need to work on that and even if they are born in france or spain or ever born in europe once they go in

a country. to learn how to create a tax. they must be. kept away from europe and they must stay in this in these countries it's not to decide whether they come back and we treat them differently and we found them to sound to those two to protect people that such i know they must be probated to come back and we need intelligence a real european intelligence service to work on that nobody in europe whatever they are migrants or not and nobody in europe can say i'm safe in my country. just a month ahead of germany's general election neither chancellor merkel nor main rival martin schultz so too pleased with the country's key ally merkel's flounder trumps quote america first policy while social democrat scholtz pledge to remove u.s. nuclear weapons from germany if he becomes chancellor with more on the deepening

rift between berlin and washington his juggling food. for years it seemed that you could safely assume germany and the u.s. would be best friends forever but as the trumpet ministration charges forward with its america first approach to foreign policy they might as well be leaving behind one of their closest and most important allies take the rising tensions with north korea for example that has shown a clear divide and opinions trump saber rattle and lashed out with threats. to. make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury while merkel flat out refused to back trump's plan and i have to answer that no i do not see a military solution from north korea i cannot accept that and just this week after trump announced america's old i'm sorry new afghan strategy you know more troops and go into the war and fight that also didn't exactly line up with expectations it is important that the us discuss with europeans how we can work together to ensure

that the country becomes more peaceful and secure so the people in afghanistan do not have to flee to us we expect the washington will cooled makes its actions with europe so it seems berlin is increasingly irked if not utterly hostile towards a number of moves coming from washington even when it comes to one of their usual mutual enemies russia germany was fuming when trump signed off on a fresh wave of sanctions against moscow no not out of some sudden newfound affection towards russia but because the measures were approved without heeding europe's business interests and could actually end up threatening them that must not happen we generally reject sanctions with extraterritorial fact meaning an impact on third countries friendship is as they say a two way street so perhaps washington should be wary of the fact that america first could end up turning into america alone. r.t. washington d.c. . in charlottesville virginia a controversial monument of a confederate general has been covered in a black shroud it was carried out as part of the mourning for

a woman killed in the recent mayhem that erupted over that particular statute the. violence broke out almost two weeks ago when i rally in support of the monuments face to council protest since then a war on the confederate heritage has been proclaimed in different parts of the country with several monuments already demolished although sometimes the tall gets all quiets unusual. i don't care if the george washington statue or thomas jefferson statue or robert is that they all had to.

e.s.p.n. executives have decided that play by play announcer robert levy will not be in the broadcast booth for next saturday's college football season opener because of the similarity between his name and the famous confederate icon.

this. that perfect example of what kind of lunacy our country is going through connally's rice said it beautifully these are these this is our history right and what the left is engaging is a storable revisionism this is the reality for better or for worse of what the us was in it's most of our founding fathers were slave owners right there are participating in the evil of slavery so examine we have tear them down so we take washington off the one dollar bill it's a teachable moment you walk in with your kids themselves and you see your mind at the jefferson davis or whoever it might be it's a moment to sit with your child reflect on what was and how we moved from it i think we're heading to a very dark place and it scares me quite a bit the war on historical monuments is now crossing the ocean a statue of captain cook in sydney's hyde park is in the crosshairs especially over its plaque claiming he quote discovered this territory critics say it's highly

offensive to indigenous australians that the idea that captain cook was the first in the area is fiction. that's australia's not alone in the growing stand against questionable statues a journalist at a top u.k. newspapers calling for nelson's column in london to be toppled they also spark heated debate somebody does defend it the authors claims that the country's nineteenth century naval hero defended slavery but many blasted the idea of taking down the landmark we asked people in the capital where the admiral nelson should be given his marching orders there's been an argument me saying that in this day and age you would be perceived as a white supremacist. rubbish everybody has you see everybody seems to enjoy it no i don't think it should be to me i don't think it's going to do any harm trying to get rid of nelson yeah i know why well you can get rid of stan. turners

to show some video fun stuff that you can get rid of. do tell us what you think about the day's stories by getting in touch with those on facebook on twitter i'll be back in thirty minutes with mornings. was. welcome to both of you are already running roughshod over that one up there rather ok.

thanks to. an anchorage. her. hi i'm max foster welcome to the kaiser report yeah we're going to be talking about a little bit of american history is what i understand to be the case stacy ever

well i think you know we have an empire of debt and it's a narcissistic empire as all empires before it have been and i want to look at this headline that will bleed into the whole story here in america that we see the total meltdown at binning as americans begin looking at actually who they are because they've begun the process as their fading empire of looking at what they were this whole time for the several hundred years six central banks now hold more than fifteen trillion dollars of assets central banks holding a fifth of their government's debt so central banks are smoke in their own belly button lint they are the economy we are an empire of debt it makes perfect sense that the end of an empire of debt the central banks which are the.
