yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we are apparently better than food that you see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank so hate him because he really. seriously sent us an e-mail. the to home sweet home stranded orphans reunited their relatives in russia after that parents took them to overdraw to join i still call to launch the campaign to help with their safe words. a libyan a mom in switzerland is accused of spreading hate speech against religious groups and nationalities while receiving over half a million euros in state benefits. and in yemen fourteen civilians including children are reportedly killed in

a saudi led coalition air strike in the capital. hello there it's nine pm here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me nicky erin we start with breaking news this hour russian speaking children left stranded at an orphanage in the iraqi capital has returned home it's believed that parents fled to the country taking the youngsters with them to join islamic state it took place the two. to i felt like. i now he's going to live with me and my children i want him to

understand that he's still a child from now when everything will be calm and peaceful of course he's going to visit these grammar but now right now for now i won't let him go anywhere i want him to feel. get everything. right easy goshdarn of joins me now in the studio to discuss this further now you go needless to say they have rendered the experience for these children but it seems like the nightmare is over for some of them now or yes indeed the worst is over for these five children i mean when we launched our campaign when we filmed those forty eight children all across iraq in shelters we could only hold that some of their family left back here in russia would recognize them and i mean this has been truly an emotional roller coaster of a story for anybody involved. do i need to kill it don't boito

me. don't. you know what the nurse. i want you know flu feel in this for a fact to me i was. just. like. the us. history. not on no more than we lose. it all. on. what. is somewhat the word but in a school just took five years of. yes but still. absolutely

heartbreaking to hess that stories from innocent children what more can you tell us about the children who are now well we've seen some of them like for example of the boy in the clip his name is ali and he he was in fact among the first relatives to get in touch with us she recognized her nephew it was a very similar story with another boy. he was as young as young as two years old when his parents took him to iraq and to fight but the truly remarkable return story here is the story of the two sisters that you've seen the clip as well deja and fatima know what they're both from the russians republic of dagestan and their former neighbor and playmate a seven year old neighbor and playmate recognized them in one of our videos and she showed the video to their grandparents so we were we went to film the grandparents

and then showed the vast video to the sisters check it out. buried in there under the gun for an attacker look at the new border usually gated area in fear that if you know what their school photo shoot all the time go and if it does god quickly i too might get discouraged he was. looking at privacy. mom approach it could mean for those who put them on the screen while maliciously just so. this was a mom when you only have a mom or dad. and then there's a. new person if you coached together i did. stoop. look at these girls they're what probably five maybe seven years old so imagine just being taken from home and taken miles away to another part of the world in

a war zone and spend like almost half of your life there i mean just remembering your former peaceful past is remarkable in itself given no the iran is experienced these children have been through what kind of mental and physical state are the in when they get home well really their mental and physical health well they've been in or in an orphanage so it's kind of better like for example miriam when she was just brought to one of the orphanages she was in such distress she could barely say her name but still when she calmed down a little bit when professionals worked with her this is the story that she told us . they each. day it would. look it over no matter what there was no just to go there when they chose that and that.

if. you. of. course would like to. so these five children in their home now they are safe the have a family again but it's important to remember that this is not the case for the many orphans who are still in iraq who still have who still have not been recognized so this is there's still a lot of work to be done indeed this is an incredible initiative and less to hope and pray for the safe return of more children thanks to that your son and. well a second of a look back at those stories of the children now reunited with their loved ones after spending so much time in iraq here's the arly his father died right in front of his eyes his arms was a. among the first to contact is giving ali hope of returning to somewhat of a normal upbringing. and this little boy's name is salton morat his parents fled to

iraq to join i saw him he spent several months that before his grandmother recognized him in the video. and this is little fatima she and her sister hide she were recognized by their grandparents and have now returned home. how could be forget little miriam she was scarred by shrapnel and was so traumatized she initially couldn't say anything when she arrived at the orphanage hopefully this is now a happy ending for mary unless she comes home to her family in russia. meanwhile in the city of mosul where those orphans we just saw managed to escape the u.s. led operation to liberate it from i saw has been declared a success despite the inconceivable human cost it was once home to around two million people. in mosul to witness the aftermath a word of warning to my friend the content of his report obsessing. kept this up

for a needy ten. u.s. led coalition the rockies one that you can still smell yeah sure 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 likely haven't heard of is the smell it's nauseating repulsive and bits everywhere the sort of smell that makes us instinct sick the smell of rotting bodies. the sickly. permeates near the entirety of the old city under the rubble are 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. forty. five. i was. covering the market even the collection plate that was the scariest thing it describable this is what they do day long day route 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 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 the scene and no wonder it is after all

a city of corpses more guys year. from mosul iraq. and libya in a moment is causing outrage over reports he's preaching messages of hate against the society has taken him in and out of this been providing him with benefits think that in unemployment payments we've spoken to the editor of a swiss prime time current affairs t.v. program where to find audio of their mom allegedly calling to destroy so-called nonbelievers. be found out that the man who calls himself up with i'm not on originally from libya is preaching hate in a mosque in the city of b. you have the audio recording he is saying several bad things for example they are asked to destroy them all and get back to his glory they also found out that he's telling several times to syria to preach in a private islamist t.v. station that he's telling also to saudi arabia where he is a tour guide for believers in mecca rejected documents on several levels before

publishing we had to be very very sure at the moment is cation and operate on not only still one of the main subject of the public discussion it is a problem of course the diversity to freedom of speech and the democratic rules or the strong this of an open society of course and hate speech ing is bringing it in danger of course. well according to the order of recording obtained by this was t.v. channel the preacher has called for all the enemies of islam to be punished including jews christians hindus shia muslims and russians and he also believes those who befriends nonbelievers kerf well let's take a closer look at the mom his words are stirring up anger his name is abu ramadan he came to switzerland via malta and italy around two decades ago explaining that he had been pursued by libyan authorities after be given residency status he since

received over half a million euros in social benefits your counsellor again says that it's outrageous for their mom to threaten the society he's living in never learned truman or french so it was not possible to integrate him in the top market so it was not possible to go to europe so he got this social welfare of course the views are not excluding him from the social welfare but he got the money exactly from the society he is preaching against already before the investigation or federal authorities who are excluding. from startles next steps or in discussion. belgium police have launched investigations into one hundred eighty nine terror related incidents since the beginning of two thousand and seventy that's according to the country's federal prosecutor that means an average of twenty three cases are opened every month artie's peace to all of us has the details. the focus has

switched away from trying to look at those that perhaps could trying come from europe to go to turkey to cross the border to become what was known as foreign fighters in syria that shifted away now following the most recent terror attacks that we've seen if we look at manchester if we look at the boss alone at these were all done in-house as it were they were done in country and that's why the belgian police have switched their focus particularly if we look at abbas alone a terrorist cell that was uncovered in to the north of the catalan capital there abdel barky and suttee 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 course that a saturday himself had actually been in belgium but 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 a rumor that preaches the 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. now predicted to be the worst in over a decade hurricane harvey is fast approaching the american coastline from the gulf of mexico locals in the u.s. state of texas that are fleeing as forecasters predict life threatening levels of rainfall. wind speeds in excess of one hundred fifty kilometers per hour are

expected it's reported that hurricane harvey is currently at category two but it is getting stronger texans have been preparing for the extreme weather conditions filling sandbags stocking up on supplies and boarding up windows we can now show you some live pictures from galveston in texas where strong winds and storms are currently hitting this city up to ninety centimeters of rain is being predicted by the end of today now we're going to be staying across developments there to bring you all the latest from the u.s. and on hurricane harvey. civilians have been killed in a suspected saudi led coalition air strike on yemen's capital medics say at least fourteen people including children died in the bombing and some are on friday morning we should warn you the pictures were about to show you are obsessing.

now middle east correspondent paula slater has more on friday's deadly bombing in yemen this follows a suspected saudi led air strikes overnight thursday into the early hours of friday morning to say that they continuing to pull bodies to residential buildings this happened in the southern neighborhoods of the yemenite capital of sana'a in what is distinctly ways eventually area there are no military installations they have whatsoever most of the people that say they are pulling a woman and children. they targeted this house in the middle of the night so why would they do that there were no soldiers or officials there only civilians.

sure there were families in this house women children and. women and children now this comes after the united nations launched a probe into another suspected saudi led coalition bombing earlier in the week that happened on a hotel in the capital and in that incident some forty one people were killed many of them also women and children our office in yemen has been gathering more information about an ass fight by coalition forces hotel in some governorate on wednesday the twenty third of august in all these cases in which civilians were killed and injured witnesses told the yemen team there had been no warnings that in the attack was imminent it comes against the backdrop of a diet humanitarian situation that has really just been getting worse since the 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. we 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 of we are also hearing from the red cross which says that some fifty foot 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 fresh air strikes it hasn't been established whether riyadh was actually behind for a day strike but the saudi coalition's campaign has been largely criticized since its intervention in twenty fifteen despite that the goals monarchy still enjoys the support of many western countries let's discuss this further now with our guests to my both a communications coordinator for the international red cross missed both welcome to the program thank you for joining us now is this a strike hit early in the morning with no military presence or objects around what

chance do civilians have when a bombing raids like this come so x. and expectedly the chances are very poor for sure because as you said there's something going to expected and just to mention that there were actually two strikes about three main buildings in the neighborhood residential area which is really nearby and as i am actually living in samar we heard them pretty loud and around two o'clock in the morning. what message can we take from this is it an indication that it doesn't matter if civilian lives are at stake in yemen this it's not like coalition or other groups will just continue bombing anyway. this is really unfortunate and this is one of the reasons why the is your city today issued a news release on the. mainly according to our team who yesterday to today

actually in the early afternoon managed to get into the spot and we could see by ourselves through our colleagues that the those targets they are not seeing the us military objectives are such and that civilians are the most people who suffered from the dark and for sure this is something which is unacceptable and this is against the international military rule just for you to maybe to remind you that early this month the i.c.r.c. has already shared his concerns about the alarming situation about the airstrikes actually increasing in the whole country starting by ties and some other now we have in front of the situation not only dies on saddam but also some of our capital and surrounding it seems at this point all we can do is sit and watch as the civilian death toll continues to rise the united nations says the as strikes by the

saudi like coalition have killed forty two civilians and you have been in just over the past week is there anything that can be done by the likes of the u.n. to prevent further collateral damage. what we can do vent is really from the point of view of the i.c.r.c. and how we work and we tackle these issues that we remind again and again all the parties to shop restraint. at the end none of us are as humanitarian can really stop the war it's really something on and the hands actually of the warring parties and we are pushing them and all of them those on the ground and those actually supporting like the coalition to respect the civilians and that they are not the legitimate targets they are not and they should not be killed now other than the obvious deadly threat posed by these strikes how are they affecting civilian life on the ground the situation is really cut us. as you know of yemen is

having this current war since more than two years the public health system is almost collapsing. the staff the medical staff is not paid for almost one year they are almost working on a voluntary basis they don't have medication a lot of restrictions actually to enter food medication to the gantry the son i report does not actually open door to door to civilians to talk to the yemeni population who needs to get access to more health care many people are suffering from lack of insulin which is not existing or all actually treatment or they are as is and one of the reasons why the i.c.r.c. needed to step further in this response and to bring actually even answer on last year and this guarantee or to the country then the situation is really difficult for the yemenis on the day to day basis so my ability for communications

coordinator for the international red cross thank you for your time. now the us media is busy trying to find out who's inspiring the divided sides in american society these days so now a new article in the washington post suggests that the far right is being guided by russian influence jacqueline viggo has the story. russia is used to being blamed for all things sinister in this world if it's not hacking someone that it's being labeled authoritarian or just flat out criminals but few have stooped to suggest russia backs nazis until now the washington post claiming the nation that lost more than twenty seven million people fighting fascist germany with every family losing loved ones is a source of inspiration for america's neo nazis now you'd hope such offensive claims would be backed up by undeniable facts but sadly you'd be wrong the article kicks off with a couple of flashy quotes one from a former k.k.k. imperial wizard who calls moscow a key to white survival and then

a white supremacist richard spencer for whom the kremlin stands as the most powerful white power in the world which yes sounds bad but these men will use anything to promote their agenda so how is that russia's fault when white nationalists claim inspiration in america's founding fathers as they do does that suddenly make george washington a nutty sympathizer and what about souter after all he's white and powerful too and we're sponsored they found a way to drag our tea into it as well spend his one geo political analysts. outposts so just see and sputnik and while spencer yes did appear on r t the post gives the fact that after his hail trump salute he became persona non grata here and was never invited again unlike the us media. and that's not all wait until you hear what other nazi crimes russia has committed in twenty fifteen some petersburg goes to one of the most outspoken gatherings of

idealogues europe has seen now it seems a shame to ruin the papers theories but the event was not state sponsored it was organized by one party not even the russian parliament with white nationalist gathering in charlottesville just a few weeks ago does that suddenly make the state of virginia a safe haven for nazis no war but sure one right wing form in the country obviously mean russian evil knows no bounds and after all no one else has hosted such an event. we love our race how motivation comes from the hearts. say an american black walked into this room that person really more to all of us than any of us is to each other well we're in the dark now so let's keep digging what else you got washington post kremlin mouthpieces of infuse yes tickly promoted the views of american neo nazis and white nationalists what is that even based on let's

listen to the actual words spoken by the russian president on the issue of not only if nationalism is understood as intolerance can show even it into other peoples and it is going to destroy our country and that which we developed as a multinational multi confessional country it not only leads to a dead end up which but down a path of self-destruction russia will do everything not to allow jobs sounds like a nazi leader to you and i save the best for last the article even ties in the recent tragic events in charlottesville none of this is to say that the coma insurance bill is directly attributable to moscow we have not yet evidence that the mystic terrorist is spelt prove true kremlin views so why stop there if actual proof is unnecessary you also don't have evidence that he likes to watch disney cartoons but he probably does and most of the heroes are white but really who needs proof when it comes to blindly attacking russia these days. r.t. washington d.c.

. the media outlets go even further suggesting that russian intelligence is using hate groups to escalate the situation in america however the original article admits there is no evidence russia is supporting extreme right groups in the us earlier we spoke to independent political analyst gilbert doctorow he says some journalists exam to wait and stress and to russian angles in their reporting. the journalist responsible for this article was giving his editors the finger because the implication of the of the headline is that russia is justly seen as a center of white supremacy by americans. says he in the middle of the article is a paragraph which undermines totally such a fabricated view of russia and of mr putin he the author went out of her way to stress that russia that moscow has the biggest mosque.
