liberals want to destroy the basic fabric of american society and culture that the matter is we're all americans and all americans hold the first amendment to the constitution near and dear to our hearts. good morning to you this is international with me just today to the morning here in moscow now and first in this latest thirty minutes live news update for you this news five russian speaking children that were stranded in war ravaged iraq have been reunited with their families a pretty good news for a change it's believed that the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents and joined by silt filmdom in a baghdad orphanage where they've been taken off the liberation of mosul we've also been helping to find the children's relatives in russia. burrowed.

nerds parents decided to join i sew and took him to iraq he was just two at the time distant to remain an orphan stranded alone in baghdad he's aren't recognized him in an arty complain to help the children. of war. his story is similar to the rest of the children take ali he's mother took selfies with eisel flags and sent them to their family in russia ali's dad died right before his eyes it was only at. work. but he was among the first relatives to get in touch with us. tonight now he's going to live with me and my children i want him to understand that he's still a child there from now on everything will be calm and peaceful of course he's going to visit his grandma the now right now for now i won't let him go anywhere i want

him to forget everything one of the most remarkable stories is that of a deja and fatima a former neighbor and friend in douglas dunn just seven years old recognized the sister as she took our video to the sister's grandparents we filmed the grandmother and father to find out whether the girls would recognize them despite having spent almost half of their lives thousands of miles from home in a war zone they hadn't forgotten ethic that god could only come back to my good escape. to the. hotel where i had to probe. into mom the footage i mean. the mom all of it all for. this was a mom i know never mom or dad each day. and then there's a. new person. to go and he's going to lose don't.

these measures are part of an economy coupe to detroit has delivered a financial an economy low against the recovery of the venison well an economy that once again insanity has been unleashed its the insanity of in time any swelling hatred these new u.s. sanctions prohibit banking dealings with venezuelan government or state oil companies these measures it's believed will be the biggest economic blow against the madeira government washington says the destructions were imposed to send a strong message to madeira and warn him against his dictatorship campaign is being our venezuelan officials say that the u.s. may just place a heavy burden on the people of venezuela that already suffer from a lot of economic crisis that's already reeling in the country. it's a strong message for the people of venezuela and it's a strong message to the dural we are not going to tolerate the dictatorship he's trying to create and we're not going to respect the sham assembly and so at this

point we felt like because we're not seeing any progress towards lifting up the venezuelan people and we see more of the power grab that winter i was trying to do the sanctions were another option to send a message the united states is trying to create to promote a humanitarian crisis you know a country that's what they're trying what do they want they want to starve the venezuelan people terms national security adviser did comment on the possibility of military intervention the country there's no such thing really anymore as as only a military option or de or diplomatic option or or an economic option we try to integrate all elements together no military actions are into stupid in the near future and not long ago trump stated that a more physical plan of action could be possible when it comes to the south american country we have many options for that as well and by the way i'm not going to rule out a military option but those comments put trump in direct contradiction to what he

himself recently promised when he said the u.s. would no longer participate in nation building and trying to force other countries to live and their image we've been moving from one wrecked was it divergent to another we cannot be the policeman of the world we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone we will no longer use american military might to construct democracies in faraway lands would try to rebuild other countries in our own image those days are now over the today's think sions an ominous warnings by the us are just the latest episode in the chaos and unrest that has been seen in venezuela recently that it was already facing a pretty severe economic crisis so this is just going to agitate the economic situation in the country which is clearly the goal. of the truck administration what is unclear is what exactly is their objective certainly a military option has been in the play ends of the us government for venezuela for

many years simply because it's a large oil supply country the us would desperately like to recover control of venice was oil industry and as long as there's a government in place in venice well that refuses to subordinate to us agenda the us will always have a military option on the table in case it's necessary to ensure that we have control over venice. in brussels months been shot dead by the army after he attacked two soldiers with a knife the instant in the center the belgian capital is being investigated as an act of terror the man of thirty year old belgian of somali origin shouted god is greatest in arabic is he started to attack could same's one of the victims slightly injured and the incident took place in the sun katherine district which is full of bars and restaurants and is usually busy on fridays witnesses describe what they saw. or heard people shouting over and then i heard two

gunshots sometimes you don't really think about it was crazy i was here with my friends and sort of really running we saw a police ambulances the army in everything we were told to move away we didn't realize what was going on but we can't watch and we saw them grabbing and going and pushing him against the wall. if i decide from this incident belgian police of launched investigations into one hundred eighty nine and related incidents since the beginning of this year that's an average of twenty three cases open every month a lawyer specializing in religious terrorism told us that europe has got use not living with tara. some of the leaders and other european countries have said that we just need to quote unquote get used to the fact that this is part of our lives and it's very sad to see that in a continent such as europe which has had so many freedoms has such diversity of different people and has allowed those freedoms it is sad to see that people are now no longer surprised i mean this was a lesser attack nobody was killed no it's not mass casualties or massive billion casualties which is a more positive step but again this is

a lot of backtracking they're having to go against a major national you are european union policies which state that you know they shouldn't do much they shouldn't look at religion they should look at other things and they shorten the shouldn't police the streets for things like this. neighboring from is for mines in a state of emergency of course seven. folders of this year the french prime minister says the country must come to terms with living under the threat of. please don't put your priority of the president this government is and sure the safety of the french people so they live well of threat we face is extremely high we must ensure the security of the french with a view to leaving this state of emergency. permanently in france in a state of emergency but french police are complaining it's hard to fulfill the duties because of poor working conditions and thought one police association has even held a photo competition to draw attention to the problem let me tell you about the

seams from rats cockroaches to leaky pipes to damaged equipment the photos show the shocking state of police stations across from us in many cases seems apparent that even basic equipment has been unfit for use over a hundred fifty photos have already been submitted by police officers who say their job now lacks dignity. we all sat on the pile for throughout the i didn't expect to see such catastrophic photos from all across france so i was aware that working conditions needed improvement but i honestly did not expect to see a carbon clock five hundred thousand kilometers or lockers flooded with water that's what's happening in toulouse with a day of strike action and marches change will take place next month over labor reforms police are worried that we may not be able to cope now.

a few. offered to us with towards iraq we would like to draw the interior minister's attention to the deteriorating work conditions of france's national police and we also would like to inform our citizens that we cannot carry out our public mission correctly given the fact that we are now in a state of emergency and facing a terror threat during the last fifteen years instead of organizing large scale negotiations on security issues of rule our government is implementing small measures so french police have been ailing for thousands of years now and we are not being given any means to change that but meanwhile president manuel micron's been busy keeping up his appearances he's reportedly spent twenty six thousand hero on makeup in the last three months.

coming up here on out international is racial division in the u.s. deepens we look at the role of the media in provoking hatred among many more stories to come. yes.

hillary would like to erase the past because it's an inconvenient truth that she was a horrible candidate and made a lot of mistakes so in an attempt to erase her past she wants to erase america's past so she's galvanizing and supporting the last of the isis of the american

political spectrum. and thanks for this this saturday morning we're going to drown the world roenicke stories in san francisco in the u.s. schools got there for a resist rally tension in the city was high with several right wing marches planned for the weekend with counter-demonstrations also expected but now amid safety concerns seems the leaders of the right wing groups have decided to cancel their. home to survey americans at taking a step saying free speech is more important than offending any individual or group those who responded were also asked if they would be willing to die to defend the right to free speech most said the word. we invited the guests from the left wing

and the mother from the right to debate the issue the founders of the constitution the authors never envisioned that the the most the provocateur are the most the person that would use hate speech would be sitting in the in the white house they never understood that weaponize or of this free speech mentality would cut would be in the white house and a handful of those who is supposedly are using free speech but basically are provocateurs and strategist a handful of people who are trying to provoke violence and to disrupt and dismantle democracy in the world donald trump condemned there in the one on charlottesville look what happened a few days later in boston where i'm. located people call for free speech well you know boss it was cordoned off by the police so you couldn't even attend the rally and forty thousand strong came out to get those from the far left let's

talk about boston bust and a handful of haters people who'd who are against you will very much it all with a hater the power what is your evidence internal heat or they will cross over sure everyone is or it isn't really haters these these handful of people that showed up in boston where forty thousand strong came out peacefully nonviolently protesting these provocateurs there 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 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. other side on the left they want to destroy statues here and they've made common cause with islamic fascists in the

middle east and elsewhere who are also destroying history if the powers given to these fascists the left fascist in tif and other groups and they also believe that the arbiters of what is acceptable and what is not going to live in a very repressive society are the average american sees that the left the liberals the the you know under the last eight years of president obama took this country so far to the left and they want to do they want to destroy the basic fabric of american society and culture the sacred right of freedom of speech was boiled down to the fact that democrats hate freedom of speech and republicans love freedom of speech the fact the matter is we're all americans and all americans hold the first amendment to the constitution near and dear to our hearts. yes we had both sides agreed that americans want to defend free speech so that it seems that the left on the right to go much more in common than the us mainstream media try to show these days as been finding out every day you can hear from politicians and mainstream

media but the usa is now a battlefield between the left and the right unusual intense polarization among the population and in the political arena. how dare you call from supporters racists that gets you to stand up there and just stand nazis shows that you are racists on the ground with rory what about the all to left do they have any semblance of guilt the emerging racist ideology known as the all to write hysteria and the absurdity of some of the claims on the left and you look at how both camps look at most major political themes you'll see that there's not much of a division there. my

position and i think it coincides with the basic broad. left position real really left position in the united states is that all us intervention abroad is wrong. we should focus on our home front. there's clearly an agenda by the military industrial complex which is operating soley for profit with a giant profit motive to in my opinion destabilize this part of the world when it comes to ties between big business and us politics both sides find it just as troubling. to have suggested that politicians should walk around like nascar drivers and have all their sponsors pasted on their suits is a great one because if they did that they'd just be multi-colored people with all

the emblems of these corporations that bought them most of the members of congress are millionaires and they didn't millionaires when they were elected which tells you a lot money talks in america and frankly we need to strip money i think out of the political system completely and allow the average person to run and give them an equal chance the so-called left and right both have a distaste for the international monetary fund the world bank and treaties which have hurt the us economy. what about mainstream voices this t p p says the gold standard in trade agreements to open free transparent fair trade t p p this twelve pacific nations that's forty percent of the world's g.d.p. so we need to get in and write the standards so that we are writing the rule book for the global economy for the twenty first century looks like the real gap these

days isn't really between the left and the right but between a stablish with voices and mainstream media and those who challenge their narrative there's been leftist commentary that's come out from. organizations like the huffington post were suggesting will you know rome used to remove statues leader would die and they desecrate the statues remove them build new ones remove them build new ones remove them build new ones we'll guess one room collapsed it's a totally corrupted system at this point. and it's because we have this first amendment that the supreme courts have said means that rich people can spend as much money as they want to buy the elections and that's exactly what they're doing. violent protests the g. twenty summit and how. the german government's now taken action against the troublemakers is bad a website belonging to a group of radical leftists that called for violence against police and politicians or your correspondent peter all of the reports. last month's g twenty and how

violent unexpected and ferocious scale for the times seemed to catch german security services by surprise. that. far as i can tell and i'm from. i've never seen. the autopsy and why those violent scenes were able to happen so the interior minister here in germany decided to close the website links saying that had been instrumental in organizing the violent scenes that the g twenty summit it's as

model of first of all it is about a ban of the associations not a news outlet from now on the operation of the site with immediate effect a crime even continues its operation then there will be reason to press charges that will surely follow starting from today it's the website was used to organize attacks on security services as world leaders mixed at the big get together but finding out just the website was based has proved harder that it may first seem we understand it some two hundred fifty officers were involved in searching five properties in the area around the city of freiburg as they try to find out the source of where the website was coming from the operation uncovered numerous weapons raging from. tons to pursue slingshots all things that could be used to cause real damage if in the wrong hands. question is this

now the new normal when politically active groups such as the far involved should we expect the violent scenes we saw in humber to follow closely behind peter all of germany. the un's nuclear watchdog is warning that north korea is increasing efforts to produce a new nuclear reactor thanks press is concerned but us american reports say it's not just the north korean leader who's fueling need it tension on the campaign trail donald trump promised to boost a weakening military as soon as i take office i will ask congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester and was submitted new budget to rebuild our military it is so depleted we will. now the u.s. is already the global leader in military spending with a defense budget that's roughly the size of these nine countries combined despite this president trump says he wants more and here's how he's planning on spending

u.s. taxpayer money we are committed to expanding and improving a state of the art missile defense system to shoot down missiles in flight. and we're getting better and better and better at it it's actually incredible what's taking place but missile defense systems are just the tip of the iceberg in this latest military gold rush on thursday it was announced that the us air force will develop a new nuclear cruise missile a project that's been in the pipeline for years but now given the green light thanks to commander in chief president trump and this is all great news for industry giants lockheed martin and raytheon both have been enjoying soaring stock market values ever since trump's inauguration but with the money flowing the risks are apparently being overlooked back in two thousand and fifteen former secretary of defense william j. perry said the nuclear missile project should be dropped because they can be launched without warning incoming both nuclear and conventional variants cruise missiles are uniquely destabilizing type of weapon but destabilization seems to be

the least of concerns for the new administration the effect of the trillion dollar trillion dollar plus so-called modernization would have the effect of making possible for u.s. policymakers to believe that they could launch a first strike nuclear war there would be to extremely dangerous development and it reminds us of in the one nine hundred fifty s. when the soviet union was really very far behind the united states there are repeated discussions at the highest levels of the us government whether or not to launch a preemptive nuclear war since the end of world war two peace has been achieved through nuclear deterrence and the balance of power hopefully this concept isn't lost on president trump as he sets out on his quest for an even stronger military samir khan r.t. washington d.c. if you get a minute of. breaking news and so much more of the weekend's going good so far of you around the world i'm kevin zero in our programs continue just a couple of minutes.
