quite acceptable to the decision to leave. our children a sickly stranded here without saying that there is no fresh water in. the civilians flee u.s. led coalition airstrikes and i saw militants in the iraqi city of tal afar military in groups warn people that face the same utter devastation witnessed in mosul. r.t. trouble so the hometown of the a mom who suspected of radicalizing the group of men who carried out the recent spain attacks. it's here that they are understood to have attended prayers led by. he's been accused of being the ringmaster behind these terrorist cell. human rights

groups slam the u.k. government trapping refugees in libya's war zone fearing it's huge a practice for the country will be used to stop civilians fleeing the fighting. and to. u.s. back to rescue forces are making fresh gains in their advance on eisel positions in the city of tal afar the heavy fighting in the area has already seen thousands of civilians this place they say that they're forced to flee from both coalition bombs and the terrorist threat. we were in from the shelling from we left the people from islamic states.

and our children a 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 and. telephone is the latest objective in the u.s. backed worn islamic state it comes after the recapture of mosul following a nine month campaign that left much of the city in ruins of the operation to liberate tell a fall which has been under eisel control for three years as a little to ease the suffering of civilians i guess the explains. 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 for three years and brute side so throwing everything they've got. trapped in the middle of thousands of videos thinks there's a stark choice still risk being killed in a coalition air strike while being used as human shields by isis or make a run for it. you are in the crossfire to 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 disobedience travel. deadly danger and the suffering that the jewels are

getting out of thought of far you get the relief from ice 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 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 a 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 don't make the lives of refugees any easier the operation to liberate has only just begun but we can hope it doesn't then like this like mosul city in ruins thousands dead more missing and buried under the rubble and with nobody to hold accountable. the wall heavy fighting between the u.s. led coalition and islamic state in neighboring syria has prompted the u.n. to call for a humanitarian pause in the city of rockhampton when a zoo actions representative described rock chorus currently the worst place on earth it's confirmed twenty thousand civilians cannot escape from iceland trustees and coalition air raids. 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 rates from the coalition so the casualties civilian casualties are. large and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians we discussed the dire situation with david swanson from the u.n. office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. the humanitarian situation for 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 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 in the ice a controlled arctic city so it is extremely difficult the only way we can provide

assistance to those people who 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 just place to that is the only way we can reach people at the moment. now amid growing concern over the security situation the e.u. parliament president now wants to create a quote european f.b.i. together we can do more which is why the european parliament is working with a commission from september to make proposals for more e.u. called gratian against terrorism i believe we need a corporation along the lines of the f.b.i. european f.b.i. important to do that because we have europe all and the commission change their rules the secret services should work together to create european unity to contribute more in the fight against terrorists. to former british intelligence officer on joins on the line. sounds impressive doesn't it f.b.i.

is it really needed in your. it sounds like another step towards federalized europe in my view we have a situation where the president of the european commission john called yoker only at the beginning of this year said that he wanted to create an army which would be a sort of parallel organization to nato from what i can understand but to create and a european wide f.b.i. would actually have immense problems to get the intelligence agencies of every one of the twenty eight countries in the e.u. to cooperate to share fully to work together who be incredibly difficult not least because of history not least because of trust issues in terms of you know which way which organization is going to keep secrets which might leak them that sort of thing but also in terms of the legal infrastructures need country because we have a mishmash across europe the napoleonic legal code or common law or other various

types of legal infrastructure so to try and get one organization that has police wide power police widely across europe i think would be incredibly difficult to make realistic what's wrong with europe or will do their job to police across europe are they failing. i don't know they're failing i think they're probably trying to do their best but they're morris' of it information intelligence sharing organization without executive powers to to make arrests and that is precisely because in each country there are different legal legal codes legal infrastructures different legal laws about what people can do so the best we can have across europe i think at this point is the enhanced sharing this nation cooperation between intelligence agencies but there's always going to be that certain distrust that certain need to preserve their source of information and to keep them close to their chest so to have a sort of european f.b.i.

rampaging across the continent i really can't see happening so that's suggesting that europe would you supposed to be one entity one big happy family everything no borders and they're actually not so unified when it comes to sharing information. absolutely yes i mean there's always distrust between intelligence agencies they want to keep their sources close to their chest there are different approaches to how intelligence agencies work different powers within each country about what precisely those intelligence agencies can actually do didley within their own country so trying to find common stand it i think is going to be incredibly difficult across the e.u. i mean we're looking at countries going from island right across to poland to hungary fast spread of territory it's a vast spread of history and it's a vast spread of different legal systems i can't see how this can work it sounds like another event if you project or british intelligence officer animus or many things. now it's emerged bodhran or forty's contacted the spanish counterparts

last year amid concerns the a mob who suspected of masterminding last week's twin atrocities in spain may have had terrorism links its claim spanish police at the time denied the a mom had any connection to terrorism he made a focus of attention is now on the small spanish town of report this is where the a mob in question preached in the local mosque it's also where the members of the terrorist cell grew up last week they carried out twin running attacks in barcelona the resort of campbell's leaving fifteen dead came just a day after what was believed to be the bomb making factory and it was destroyed in an explosion peter all of the trouble to report to find the homes of the suspects and to speak to locals who know them since childhood. radicalizing force 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. was. 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 that 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 we can believe it the seem to be very nice people who will. be probably be roaming around but it's just that now we have to salute the whole city would see that the sale 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 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 real. behind the 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 will. 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 of a. u.k. is accused of trapping libyan refugees in a war zone details coming up after the break. it's.

the feeling of. the world. that you get out of the old old. old according to just. come along for the.

comeback wins foreign secretary has been accused by human rights groups of trumping refugees in libya in appalling conditions to pledging millions of pounds in support for border patrol stopping civilians fleeing the country speaking on a trip to libya's capital boris johnson insisted the u.k. will help reduce the number of illegal migrants heading for europe. libya is the front line for many challenges which left on chicks composed problems for us in the u.k. but equally illegal migration and the threat from terrorism it also means practical efforts to including the work we're doing to ensure that the libyan coast guard can secure their own borders reducing the number of illegal migrants hitting for europe plessy would humanitarian campaign manager for the oxfam charity told us attempts to keep refugees in a war zone are clear violation of international human rights law simply throwing money at the issue will 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 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 when something similar to. 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 they had that erupted over that particular statue violence broke out almost two weeks ago when

a rally in support of the monument faced the counter protest since then a war on confederate heritage is being proclaimed in different parts of the united states with several monuments already demolished although sometimes the targets a quite unusual. i don't care if the george washington statue or thomas jefferson statue or robert is the statue of a fallen into. e.s.p.n.

executives have decided that a 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 famed confederate icon. this is a perfect example of what kind of a lunacy our country is going through connally's rice said it beautifully these are

not 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 its most of our founding fathers were slave owners right they were participating in the evil of slow. every so sammy 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 the south and you see a line of the jefferson davis or whoever it might be it's a moment to sit with your child to 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 meanwhile the american civil liberties union tweeted this image you can see now the child wearing a t. shirt with the words free speech on it the group wrote this is the future that a.c.l.u. members want. some claiming that the image amounts to racism critics calling a white child holding an american flag calling it racist is taking racial sensitivity too far in response to the a.c.l.u.

there were angry tweets coming in such as you want a single white child to be our future others though defended the image saying that they see nothing wrong with it and that people are simply over reacting the a.c.l.u. responded sarcastically joking that white supremacy is now everywhere ok let's discuss this growing of racial sensitivity in the united states now we've media and legal analyst lionel joins me on the law i believe you see a line oh it's hard to know where to begin with this a picture of a white child holding an american flag doesn't sound offensive to me but i can't put it in the context of of how people are thinking in the u.s. is this racist. and by the way you just showed of a in american flag with not all of the fifty stars therefore i am offended because you have excluded which states did you exclude this time of

year where race is now. that's insane right well not really it was maybe twenty years ago but today it's merely clever you see in my republic we enjoy being offended it's it's a parlor game it's an exercise we think of new ways we go through the newspaper but all of us are we say wait i can become offended over something that ended on a hundred fifty two years ago that i know nothing about i can yell about robert e. lee i know not me even sure who we is robert e. lee sara lee johnny lee pinky lee it doesn't matter because i can be offended i've got to tell you this what i do here in new york i have a bunch of friends of mine on broadway and if you've ever wanted to meet obnoxious people try the brew order way elite because take hollywood elite but add

the theater and you get these so anyway i said so are you going to be boycotting alexander hamilton hamilton the musical what what because they like him as a well don't you know about his history don't you know about his his objections to manumission some naïve older slave apologist married of those of the schuyler i went on and on and on and day to no no no we we like him because you see in addition to being offended you get a memo book every week robert e. lee's in or out alexander hamilton n. i mean it's funny you know that in new york they now want to remove the christopher columbus statue from columbus circle because all of a sudden while christopher columbus spread smallpox and civil those are did something and they're going to now incur the wrath listen carefully of it talian

americans. your who haven't and you walk alone is day parade that you want to win curb the wrath of it talian american new yorkers oh can't read. the law and i want to just want to bring it back to where it all seems to begin in recent history charlottesville the fall i learned. about the confederate monuments the call for certain ones to be removed and this is really now spread all over the country we're seeing calls for actually monuments being removed now. i think that if we apply modern standards. to history isn't every significant figure in history going to be found to be sexist racist or homophobic we could have to take down more most humans. if they weren't they didn't accomplish anything and i don't say that to be cute or trite

but you can't do anything look there's one thing that we don't understand in this country and that context perspective and the way the history was let me say number one the civil war was about slavery. anybody who argues with that one doesn't understand it ok number two a lot of these statues were added either at the end of the nineteenth century or the twenty's or i did one thousand begin in the twentieth century and around one hundred fifty during the chim jim crow era they were deliberately added have you noticed how some of these statues they topple over and they fold like paper maché have you noticed that some of the statues they just they're not bronze they're not they're not well made they're just they look like they were put together overnight a lot of them were because the daughters of the confederacy and a lot of confederate agencies and organizations and groups and and the federations in clubs would put these up at qana stick it to people and remind them that the

confederate war and the war against the states a war of northern aggression whatever you want to call it was still are now. that being said law and i do apologize i have you know how far into the rope you have to do it just as you about for another time we do have some breaking news to bring to all of you so my apologies the media analyst lionel thank you indeed sir and let's just bring you that news just coming in from police in charleston south carolina you are saying that there is a nice shoot to situation in a restaurant it's located in a popular tourist and commercial part of the city it is now in lockdown the area of the authorities are urging people to avoid the area there are also reports of a possible hostage situation this is yet to be officially confirmed we will bring you updates on that story soon as they come in. ok i'll be back with very late to see you at the top of the hour.
