10:02 am
are well yes indeed some of them those are those children whose relatives we have managed to locate to to find those children have landed in the city of grozny in the chechen republic of russia and so they're about from what we understand they're about to meet their family now this whole story it has been an emotional roller coaster for everybody involved really when we launched the campaign to find you and when we launched the campaign when we filmed those forty children scattered all across iraq in shelters that we could only hope that they would be able to you know to come back to their normal to their you know peaceful life and so some of the accounts that we filmed there they were truly soul crushing. here to cut down the. line is still a little boy don't we. don't. want none us.
10:03 am
10:04 am
heartbreaking to have describe their lives like this what else do we know about these children who are being brought home from iraq well we've just seen some of them really for example ali he's he's aren't from what i understand she was among the first relatives to contact us after seeing one of the videos another children another kid and more of his also his relatives we've also been able to find them and so he's back in russia as well but the truly remarkable stories behind is the story about these two sisters that you have seen in the clip as well it's deja and fatima two two sisters from dagestan one five another one is two or three and basically they're a seven year old neighbor girl who used to play with them bag before they had been taken taken with the by their parents to mosul to iraq she watched our video recognized hope playmates and show that video to grandfather and grandmother
10:05 am
and so we went to film so we went to two two there we went to them we went to the grandmother and grandfather we got some pictures we showed them to the girls and the girls recognize their family now imagine when you're five years old and you spent like two about two years in a not you know whole other country just recognizing the past life is already remarkable in itself and so so here's a he basically he's he's a. compilation like a video showing their emotion as they grew to recognize each other being really miles apart. or it in their very matter of their care they never were. there you know they were to their school for sure. except that dad quickly i tell my did just. that i tried to. go in the
10:06 am
factory are nice but you get sick. you know. mom the coaching career goes up again well that's good mom or were they just. this was a mom when your. mom or dad. and then there's a. new person. to go right in this country and there's still. so one would really one can really only struggle to hold back the tears watching you know footage like this but i mean this has been one of the more one of the how pure stories stories in this whole ordeal and some of these youngsters were in a pretty bad way when they were found well yes indeed there's plenty of heart wrenching wrenching really imagery coming from that that's been coming from iraq like for example take this girl merriam was she when we went to film
10:07 am
a she was in such distress and such shock that it was barely possible to even speak to her because she couldn't be she could barely recollect her own name and this is only the i mean no surprise because she was very badly wounded in the battle of mosul and in fact in fact her mother was killed right in front of her this is this is an account from. this. it was a. little bit of a nomad a lot. but in that. it. is. now. also back in russia so unlike unlike many of the children who are who who have
10:08 am
stayed back in iraq and absolutely prefer those children who just returned just minutes of the hours until they finally get reunited with their families ok you go thanks very much for them. meanwhile back in the city of mosul itself where those orphans we just saw managed to escape the u.s. led operation to liberated from eisel has been declared a success despite the inconceivable human cost it was once home to around two million people but i guess he has in mosul to witness the aftermath would have warning though you might find the content in his report upsetting to walk he kept this up for a needy ten months. u.s. led coalition and the rockies. but you can still smell the ashes this probably won't shock you the destruction in mosul a city in ruins it's already been shown you've probably also heard about the thousands killed the civilian suffering what you will likely haven't heard of is
10:09 am
the smell it's noisy repulsive and it's everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink these sick the smell of rotting bodies. the sickly permeates near the entirety of the old city under the rubble hundreds and. hundreds of corpses jihad ists as well as civilians families this is what rescuers have collected just this morning three suspected isis fighters two women and two children this is again just the first few hours of this warning from buildings right around us and they're still not done. most of them are women and children they called this a victory you would never think the smell of victory would make you rich.
10:10 am
forty. five. i was. covering the market even the collection plate of which this very thing it described the book this is what they do day long day right out of i don't want to see a bullet now that. it's hard work in more ways than one there are booby traps unexploded jet bombs rockets shells and munitions and the bodies decomposing in the sweltering heat. there was no precision here these was carpet bombing annihilation hundreds buried under rubble hundreds blocked in basements starving or choking to death it
10:11 am
will take months to dig up all the bodies months more of trauma. what i see here makes me cry you can bring anyone here and they will break down in tears because we are all human beings. was in june there are some things he couldn't sail camera like the fact that he and many rescuers have trouble sleeping after all they seem. no wonder it's easy to rule a city of corpses more it guys do you see from mosul iraq. in switzerland there's outrage over reports about a libyan he's accused of preaching hate towards the society which has taken him in and also one that's been providing him with benefits including unemployment payments according to an audi a recording attained by a swiss t.v. channel the preacher has called for all the enemies of islam to be destroyed including jews christians hindus russians and shia muslims and he also believes
10:12 am
that those who prefer and nonbelievers are cursed. and came to switzerland via malta and italy ten years ago and was given political asylum explaining that he'd been pursued by the libyan authorities he's received a residence permit in switzerland and has been living on social benefits i spoke earlier to york had slow who's the editor of a swiss primetime current affairs program which obtained the audiotape ramadan. but the moment is. put on not only still one of the main subject of the public discussion it is a problem of course to diversity to freedom of speech and the more critic rules or the strong this of an open society of course and hate speech ing is bringing it into of course that's why switzerland is successful because of its open society but the case shows how important the new legislation we have intelligence is the tories are not all able to monitor extremists even in mosques or to cross out this into
10:13 am
court t.v. elements in order to protect the open source in order to protect of to protect the freedom of speech and also to diversity. belgian police have launched investigations into one hundred eighty nine terror related incidents since the start of twenty seventeen that's according to the country's federal prosecutor that means an average of twenty three cases have opened every month our europe correspondent peter oliver has the details it's where those cases have been opened and why those cases been opened that is of particular interest the focus has switched away from trying to look at those that perhaps could try and come from europe to go to turkey to cross the border to become what was known as foreign fighters in syria that switched now to looking to groups within a country that can be radicalized there the reason that this is flagged up is if we look back to twenty fifteen there was around three hundred thirty cases opened by
10:14 am
the belgian federal prosecutors almost all of those were looking at people that were trying to get to syria to get to iraq to join the ranks of isis and other terror organizations like. that shifted away now following the most recent terror attacks that we've seen if we look at manchester if we look at what happened recently in also loner these were all done in-house as it were they were done in luke. country and that's why the belgian police have switched their focus particularly if we look at at barcelona a terrorist cell that was in covered in oil to the north of the catalan capital there abdel barky s.r.t. was named as the the ringleader the ringmaster the radicalized that within a community that was well pretty well integrated and that's why what the authorities are wanting to see is a register of just who comes and gives speeches now the reason for this is of
10:15 am
course that a saturday himself had actually been in belgium before the attacks took place the bombings at the airport and at the the metro system in brussels what the belgian prosecutors are putting forward is that they want to see a register of just which foreign in a coming into their country and giving speeches i will ask the muslim executive to tell every mosque in belgium who the rooted most remote to report of rumor but. ultimately though this is well it's the belgian authorities looking at the threat that exists and how that threat is changed and looking at how they can adapt and develop their tactics to stop further possible terror attacks. by with us now is henry bolton who's a leadership candidate for the u.k. independence party and someone who's also been involved in a lot of projects to do with european security defense bob welcome to r.t. it seems that belgium prosecutors are now focusing their terrorism investigations
10:16 am
on homegrown suspects why do you think that is what's your thought. well particularly in brussels they have a number of issues with the integration of communities immigrant communities simply north african. the challenge is made more difficult for the belgian authorities because they're divided down into think that some nineteen different municipalities i've spent three years living in brussels. the any community is going to have. a certain difficulty with young men particularly who are searching for an identity trying to sort out who they are now in those those immigrant communities that have just been ghettoized really by a lack of proper integration they they are very open to being influenced by islam and you know they're living there and visits from from preachers from abroad whose agenda is in many cases to actually do
10:17 am
harm to the way of life in belgium in the the culture and actually to perpetuate an islamic culture around the world that these people who are sitting there looking for an identity are very very susceptible to that and i think it was a belgian police commander who actually said there were almost now looking at islam a saw aged radicals rather than radical muslims so i think this is this is part of the problem. belgium's justice minister suggested mapping or even tracking him arms in order to tackle hate speech isn't there a problem there though that it's going to victimize perfectly lower abiding and moms you talked about there of preaching the culture of islam well there are christian preachers that preach the culture of christianity there are going to be innocent people caught up in any kind of clampdown like that. i think i mean if you take the u.k.
10:18 am
for example. because in the church of england they are trained in the u.k. they are funded from the u k. we have a history here. to they're well known in that respect however people coming from abroad are often funded from by causes that have a of of spreading radical islam they have that agenda themselves they've bought into it and their mission is a different one and i do believe that some form of monitoring of the individuals i did cation of them understanding who they are what their background is mapping them out as the belgian now called it i think there is a valid justification for that. we are we are in a situation of we're not at war with islam we are only i would say in conflict with those who seek to undermine our way of life all state institutions in our culture and if that's a threat because of a determination to spread
10:19 am
a radical islam and exploit vulnerable people within communities within our cities then i think it's absolutely justifiable to take reasonable measures to preserve prevent i'd like to see preachers islamic preachers in europe but particularly in my case in the u.k. i would like to see them trained in the u.k. i would like to see their funding coming from the u.k. and i'd like to see real restrictions placed on foreign funding of of mosques and of the training of of moms here ok thanks very much for your thoughts hundred and you can depend as party leadership candidate thanks very much. after the break we'll take a look at the latest alleged saudi led air strike on yemen's capital which has resulted in casualties that's after the break. it's.

10:22 am

10:23 am
wednesday the twenty third of august in all these cases in which civilians were killed and injured witnesses told the yemen team that had been no warnings that in the attack was imminent it comes against the backdrop of a diet humanitarian situation that is really just getting worse since these saudi made coalition began its strikes back in two thousand and fifteen there are thousands of people who have been killed there are millions of people who are starving without access to basic necessities and one of this has led to an outbreak of cholera we are hearing from the world health organization that they have some half a million suspected cases of people suffering from cholera that they are aware wolf we're also hearing from the red cross which says that some fifty seven percent of people don't have access to clean water and roughly the same number of people are suffering from famine so certainly a diet humanitarian situation in yemen as we witness yet again faced. strikes. islamic state says it's behind an attack on
