3:04 pm
get there. 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 aren't 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 i still but the truly remarkable return story here is the story of the two sisters that you've seen the clip as well deja and. now what they're both from the russians republic of dagestan and their former neighbor and playmate a seven year old neighbor and playmate recognize them in one of our videos and she showed the video to their grandparents so we were we went to film the grandparents

3:06 pm
your former peaceful past is remarkable in itself given all the iran is experienced these children have been through what kind of mental and physical state are the in when they get home. 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 work with her this is the story that she told us. they each. day it would. look it over no matter what over there just to go there when they chose that and that. will. kill you ok. so
3:07 pm
these five children their home now they're 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. 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 it here million people mark is in mosul to witness the aftermath a word of warning you might find the content of the report upsetting. he kept this up for a needy ten months. u.s.
3:08 pm
led coalition and the rockies won 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 the smell it's noisy eating repulsive and it's everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink these sick the smell of rotting bodies. the sickly odor 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
3:09 pm
this morning from buildings right around us and they're still not done. most of them are women and children they called this a victory you'd never think the smell of victory would make you rich. forty. five. i was. covering the market even the collection they did what was. it describable this is what they do day long day route i did you see it was not the type. it's hard. work in more ways than one there are booby traps and they exploded jet bombs rockets shells and munitions and the bodies decomposing in the
3:10 pm
sweltering heat. there was no precision here these was carpet bombing annihilation hundreds buried under rubble hundreds blocks in basements starving 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. there are some things you couldn't sail camera like the fact that he and many rescuers have trouble sleeping after all they see and no wonder it is after all a city of corpses of sea from mosul iraq. a libyan
3:11 pm
a mom and switzerland is causing outrage over reports he's preaching messages of hate against the society that's taken him in and also that he's been provided with benefits including unemployment payments we've spoken to georg has led the editor of swiss prime time current affairs t.v. program which obtained the old year of the a man allegedly calling to destroy thorough called nonbelievers be found out that the man who calls himself up on what on originally from libya is preaching hate in a mosque into said to be you have to alter recording he is saying several things for example they are asked to destroy them all and get back to his glory they also found out that he is tearing several times to syria to preach in a private islam t.v. station that is telling also to saudi arabia we are ready. he's a tour guide for believers in make up rejected documents on several levels before publishing we have to be very very sure at the moment to put on what's on he's still one of the main subject of the public discussion it is
3:12 pm
a problem of course to diversity to freedom of speech and to democratic rules or strong of an open society of course and hate speech ing is bringing it in danger of course now according to the audio recording obtained by this with 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 all cursed so let's take a closer look at the a man whose words are stirring up such anger his name is abu down he came to switzerland via multi and italy around two decades ago explaining that he'd been pursued by the libyan authorities after being given residency status he's since received over half a million euros in social benefits the or counsellor again says it's outrageous for the a mom to threaten the society he's living in. never learned truman or french so it
3:13 pm
was not possible to integrate him in the top market so it was not possible that he has got to work so he got this social welfare of course the views are not excluding him it is from the social welfare particle of the morning exactly from the society he is preaching against already before the investigation to all federal authorities who are excluding. from startles next steps are in discussion. belgian police have launched investigations into one hundred eighty nine terror related incidents since the beginning of twenty seventeen as according to the country's federal prosecutor that means an average of twenty three cases are opened every month peter all of a has the details. the focus has switched away from trying to look at boats 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
3:14 pm
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 a boss alone a terrorist cell that was uncovered in to the north of the catalan capital there abdel barky s.r.t. was named as the the ringleader the ringmaster the radicalize are now 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 and the metro system in brussels what the
3:15 pm
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 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. civilians have been killed in a suspected thousand dead coalition as strike on yemen's capital medics they at least fourteen people including children died in a bombing in on friday morning we should warn you the pictures were about to show are disturbing.
3:16 pm
middle east correspondent paula 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 now rescuers 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. there were families in this house women children why bomb women and children now
3:17 pm
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 asteroid by coalition forces a 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 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 been getting worse since the saudi made coalition began its strikes back in two thousand and fifteen there were thousands of people who have been killed there are millions of people who are starving without access to basic necessities. we and all of this has led to an outbreak of cholera we are hearing from the world health organization that they have some half
3:18 pm
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 now it hasn't been established whether riyadh was actually behind friday's strike but the saudi coalition's campaign has been largely criticized since its intervention in twenty fifteen despite that the gulf not likely still enjoys the support of many western countries earlier we spoke to a coordinator for the international red cross she describes the situation in son are for us to try again three main buildings in the neighborhood residential area which is really nearby and as i am actually leaving and some are we heard them pretty loud and around two o'clock in the morning those
3:19 pm
targets they are not seeing hours 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 to do it is that really got us. as you know 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 many people are suffering from lack of insulin which is not existing or all actually treatment for dialysis and one of the reasons why be needed to step further in this response and. to bring it to even end so long last year and this scare in two years to the country.
3:20 pm
americans are making a stand to say free speech is more important than offending any individual or group that's at least according to the latest survey by post around misson those who responded are also off if they would be willing to die to defend the right to free speech with seventy three percent of respondents saying they would or less discuss this further now in bring in our guest director of the u.s. middle east alliance to support john had john and also tighe barry from the code pink movement you're both very welcome to the program it's very good to see you now we're seeing there's been a two percent rise since twenty fourteen in americans who believe free speech is more important than offending others isn't that a significant at this moment in time a question to john hunter please first show i think that shows that americans still firmly believe in the right of free speech in trying in our
3:21 pm
first amendment to the constitution and despite the left's war on free speech. that the american people stand firmly in the camp of being able to express themselves freely is such a fundamental right it's a god given right and americans hold dear it's something that we've fought for and that we're not going to relinquish easily tighe barry do you agree with john. well of course not but i also find it unusual that it's a god given right i think it's a right that all people around the world and especially americans hold dear the fact that we can speak truth to power but we never the founders of the constitution and the authors never envisioned that the the the provocateurs the most the person that would use hate speech would be sitting in the white house they never understood that the weaponized or of this free speech mentality would be
3:22 pm
in the white house and a handful of those who supposedly are using free speech but basically are provoked tours and strategist a handful of people who are trying to provoke violence and to disrupt and dismantle democracy in the world so i don't i suppose the question is whether you know that knowing a tween free speech and hate speech could and should both be allowed. i mean listen sure sure there's been a constitutional law on on not being able to cross fire in a crowded building etc etc but your other guest has a comment about the weaponize or of free speech in the white house talking about how you hate speech with veterans that is laughable. trump condemned everything went on in charlottesville and look what happened a few days later in boston where. i'm located people call for free speech
3:23 pm
rally in boston there was cordoned off by the police you couldn't even attend the rally and forty thousand strong came out to condemn those from the far left funded by george soros and i'm sure the other gases probably receive some funding from george soros those people who hold the free speech near and dear we just do it out of out of passion for for i again our god given right that are trying to knock. constitution but we're not resorting to violence it's always the left that resorts to the violence in boston the anybody walking with the flag anybody showing support for our elected president was attacked the the they showed no tolerance they brook no note dissent they will not accept any anyone's views but their own and if you're going to have. you know the if the powers given to these fascists the left factions in tif and other groups and they also believe that the arbiters of
3:24 pm
what is acceptable and what is not you going to live in a very repressive society all of the soviet union china etc etc will not be able to speak out the people who speak and speak for for free speech who call out the haters they will be called haters just like the whole movement to criticize to be in the criticism of islam islamic fundamentalist i'm sorry it's only been said time to me live at c.n.n. world. what is right is wrong yes i mean obviously this is this is what i'm talking about the weaponized station of free speech using false narratives cut saying that were funded by soros i could say i was out on the natal send or some of the other rich right people that fund these people let's talk about boston bust and a handful of haters people who who are against you will very much it all with
3:25 pm
a hater of power what is your evidence and surely hater they will cry oh sure everyone is your evidence for the waiters these these handful of people that showed up in boston where forty thousand strong came out peacefully nonviolently protesting these provocateurs that i was in charlotte is not at the least are they were not beaten by these by these provocateurs there's this handful of people compared to the thousands that showed up to. and the people from religious groups from free speech groups from peace groups that showed up to nonviolently protest these hate filled groups that showed up with weapons sticks mace they had their own access to tear gas these are the people that are showing up on the other side there are a small handful of provocateurs they have these people like milo and steve bannon and richard spencer these are all right supposedly these guys are.
3:26 pm
glue klux klan these guys are nazis these guys are people that want to take away your freedom of speech later in life yes they are screaming fire in a crowded theater that's what they're doing they're trying to provoke did that happen boy it happened in charlotte we will see the response of that you will doubt that we are not a fascist a fascist i doze. that perpetuate fascist speech like this gentleman here so i guess the big question is what's the crux to what you're writing for the great work fascist speech that i promote that's a lie that is a lie are you just that you called me about s. and i what you are defending people like your garbage all you like but you're jumping on about your mileage like stephen bannon these people that were go organizing in in boston this handful of people that were coming out with disgusting signs of naziism things that people fought and died for in the one nine hundred forty often were things that people have bought and died already in the bank when
3:27 pm
they crushed these words or organization what is your evidence gentlemen if i could bring you back to the wealthy by having run their name on the free from the street i don't want to know whether you think the they were let me read a blank and were told that it was not more real in the us and that will have any real impact if you fast. of course not it's a look at the left wants to erase our history and look at some of these things should be up for discussion whether we should be gratifying those who fought for the confederacy to preserve slavery of course not but you know that your your guests won't tell you who is behind sleeve you of course it was the left it was the democrats who are the party of slavery the party of jim crow they will tell you that the people who stood up for sleep against leverage and been paid for with the a lives with the republicans the conservatives who believe in the sanctity of human life who are now fighting for to make abortion illegal the democratic party of
3:28 pm
those on the left always took the side of the of the can i order i want is a so this is just all in all it's news why are we listening to this this is you know you know you've already got three balls that's a fact a matter of telling you there's a democratic party is not problem hard already of the day we have no comparison to the to eight hundred sixty s. there is that is america true democratic party and the republican party is that eight hundred sixty s. absolutely effect the people have perpetuated a lot of change but but the ranks of the democratic party and this is the remote their only looked hard at loyalty over all you michael you my friend you in cali hardy of send out there was no part of it really r.d. of series of mentality of slavery that came out of europe tying you there is no hardy atlee who had the defended it that went to war in korea now and say this is all these i want this is exactly is wrong not want to be this is who have been now using freedom the plantation say whatever he wants its another year as i act it's
3:29 pm
not a factual course and you are here to out of the fact is you want it you want to shut it down let them sad is the fact is there are young might well it could be watching you that are listening to you and you're perpetuating hate speech and why untruths you don't know who i am or what i think and say ok one thing i stand for. to bring it to go ahead i can't talk about the democratic party right here along the grocer and among a lot of people my age is here i said you know did mitt excuse me at tike there's no you have to have a real being how you raise the memorials in public places removed of course whether our leader should go through these dances but symbols your work in. the civil war when he was released the bloodiest war in american he has on which i mean the americans not i was was to when you say that lasted a little years here and organise it was a rehab you have to live with these symbols of racism white.
