but. our children are sick we're stranded here without sea there is no fresh water anymore as civilians flee the u.s. led coalition and strikes and i saw militants in iraq is that you tell a father you want to tarry and groups warn people to their face the same as the devastation witnessed in mosul. r.t. travels to the hometown of the a mom used to suspect of radicalizing the group of men who carried out the way things spain etc. it's clear that they understood to have attended prayers led by the sudsy spin accused of being the ring monster behind this terrorist cell.

human rights groups on the u.k. government for trapping refugees in libya's war zone fearing this huge aid package to the country will be used to stop at the very end fleeing the fighting. hello there at six pm here in the russian capital and you're watching our international with me they care and good to have you with us. with the u.s. 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.

we ran from the shelling from the call the action will lift the people from islamic state along. and. our children a sick we're stranded here without aid there is no fresh water anymore some of the aid workers have been here but very few of them this is my son he is suffering we have no electricity. telephone is the latest objective in the u.s. backed war on islamic state it comes after the recapture of mozart following a nine month campaign but left much of the city in ruins however the operation to liberate teller fall which has been on the ice of control for three years has done little to ease the suffering of civilians there might have explained.

or what's left of it and now dr west is flaw the new ground zero in iraq and their huge iraq the army backed by u.s. led coalition air power is facing off against isis which has been entrenched there for three years and brute sides are throwing everything they've got. trapped in the middle of thousands of videos who think there's 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. 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 with deadly danger and the suffering that the jewels are getting out of thought a far you're getting away from isis it may be the first step there's plenty of stickles 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. bill 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

a hundred people approaching you how are you going to tell the real refugees from isis infiltrators or indeed suicide bombers who are just trying to get close to blow their vests so the security precautions are absolutely necessary but they will make the lives of refugees in the easier the operation to liberate has only just begun but we can hope it doesn't 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 tell of fire intensifies many have spotted striking similarities with the mosul campaign that left found dead indeed both cities were eisel strongholds speech by u.s. coalition forces just like telefon now thousands of civilians were trapped inside mosul under

a barrage of bombs or those trying to flee of course in the crossfire and those remaining has no access to humanitarian aid which is food water and basic necessities fast running out we spoke to sarver as a car is from the red cross who says tal afar may well face the devastation witnessed in mosul and the operations that have been moving forward of course we see that there are a lot of others have been of course the people in. need similar consequence what the. french found the love food water is that that he's the man who is going to get more interned the people who are living below. lehman you know then. nine while being shot. meanwhile in neighboring syria over twenty thousand civilians remain trapped in the five i still held neighborhoods of the city of raka the u.n.

house called for a humanitarian pause that branding this area the worst place on earth with civilians suffering from terrorists as well as the heavy fighting i cannot think of a worse place now than in these five neighborhoods. forty and for these twenty thousand people there is. a constant air raids from the coalition so the casualties civilian casualties are. large and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians meanwhile the rights group amnesty international has issued a report on the suffering of civilians trapped in the city had all some of their chilling testimonies. it was how many shell struck the area residents did not know how to save themselves some people ran from one place to

another only 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 dutch didn't last week. my sisters my mother my nephews and nieces were bombed to shreds for no reason for strikes were launched against the house full of women and children why don't they keep watch over their targets before they bomb if they had they would have known that there were only women and children there. we discussed the diet situation with david swanson from the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. the humanitarian situation or the up to twenty five thousand civilian and still trapped in iraq a city is nothing short of dire access to safe drinking water food and other basic services are under all time low with many residents relying on food they had stored up earlier on to survive or 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 ospital. or unit in the ice of control our 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 created the city since the offensive began in june of this year is when they reached 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 a belgian or thirty's contacted their spanish counterparts last year amid concerns the end mom who suspected of masterminding last week's twin atrocities in spain may have hunted terror links it's claimed spanish police at the time deny to be a mom had any connection to terrorism and the main focus of attention is now on this mall that says sleepy spanish town of republish where the

a mob in question preached in the local mosque and it's also where all of the members of the terrorist cell grew up last week they carried out twin roaming attacks in barcelona on the resort of camphor it was leaving fifteen people dead it came it just a day off to what was believed to be that bomb making factory and our canal was destroyed in an explosion pays all of our travel to our poll to find the homes of the suspects and speak to locals who had known them since childhood. radicalizing force they were radicalized by a moroccan born police now believe the ripple was at the center of the plot. 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. 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. why they were. 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. they were behind what happened around here can believe it the seem to be very nice people who want to be

fully roaming around but it's just that i always have to salute you with a whole slew of things that the sale melted into 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 a quiet town and is part of the jihad to sell. the answers to the vast many 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. master 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 forty 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 in at the moment the authorities are writing that off as that his own potential weapons of. 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. after repeated cases of terrorists using vehicles to round pedestrians city the course europe have been taking precautions concrete barriers have been installed in key locations they've been put up in shopping centers essential squiers and the iconic prominent the anglais embankment in the southern french city of me where a truck killed eighty seven people last year. ukase accused of trapping libyan refugees in a war zone find out the details after the break. what

politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. some want to watch. it you'd like to be this is what. three of the more people. interested always in the water. there should be. 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 cut up of that 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 and has caused a loss of life in egypt this is an intolerable situation.

for the welcome back person as foreign secretary has been accused by human rights groups of trapping refugees in libya in appalling conditions also pledging millions of pounds on support for border patrols stopping civilians fleeing the country speaking on a trip to libya's counters oboist johnson insisted the u.k. will how it would use the number of unequal migrants heading to the europe. we worked with the libyan government to help bring stability to libya stopping it from becoming a fertile ground for terrorists and people traffickers you close proximity to europe class see what humanitarian campaign manager for the oxfam charity told us

that attempts to keep refugees in a war zone are clear violation of international human rights. simply throwing money 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's 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 given something similar to that speaking in tripoli johnson insisted the u.k. will back the coastguards efforts to secure libya's borders because khan's been

trained by the u.k.'s royal navy and is getting substantial support from 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 next train costs 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've really just not seen that happen all we've seen is a shutting down of routes which is left people with really few other options then to take risky routes meanwhile police have used water cannon and batons to clear more than one hundred migrants occupying independence square in rome.

was. crowds of migrants were protesting the victualling of hundreds from an occupied building rioting refugees also threw projectiles at officers and blocked nearby streets with a number of migrants to europe continuing to grow questions are also being raised over security on the continent we spoke to the deputy mayor of l.a. home to the form of vast jungle migrant camp he says those who pose a threat should be sent back to their home countries and special measures should be put in place for your. i think we really need. a central office european office for intelligence to be created on bot. 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 has to to 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 but neither chancellor merkel door main rival martin schultz are too pleased with the country's key ally merkel's slummed

trumps quote america first policy while social democrat scholtz pledged to remove the u.s. nuclear weapons from germany if it becomes chancellor with more on the deepening rift between berlin and washington here's jacqueline. 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. 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 worst to move cooled makes his actions with europe so it seems berlin is increasingly irked if not utterly hostile toward the 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 facts meaning and 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 to the 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 may have that erupted. but that particular statute the violence broke out almost two weeks ago when a rally in support of the monument thanks to counter protest since then a war on the confederate heritage as being pretty plain didn't different parts of the country with several monuments already demolished although sometimes the talk it's quite unusual. i don't care if the george washington statue or thomas jefferson statue or rather to the statue they all need to calm down.

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

this is a 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 and what the left is engaging is a stork a reversion ism this is the reality for better or for worse of what the us was it is most of our founding fathers were slave holders they're participating in the evil of slavery so it's i mean 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 a mine with jefferson davis or whoever it might be it's a moment to sit with your child and reflect 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 and statue of

captain cook in sydney's hyde park is in the cross has especially over its plaque claiming he quote discovered this territory critics say it's highly offensive to indigenous australians and the idea cook was first in the area it's fiction but australia's not alone in the growing stand against questionable statues. against it and stood alone in the quest over the statues also in the cross has. no sense kowloon the monk in london a journalist for u.k. newspapers that it should be top within the old school has sparked debate some bridges have defended the claim saying the country's nineteenth century naval hero defended slavery but many have blasted the idea of taking it down well as people in the capital where the admiral nelson should be giving his marching orders. there's been an argument meade just saying that in this day and age you would be perceived as a white supremacist. yes rubbish everybody as you see everybody seems to enjoy it no
