now. stranded all friends reunited with their relatives. this china has been running a campaign to help with this. president new u.s. sanctions against his country is an economic. social rift in the u.s. is all across the headlines but it seems those on the left and those on the right

may have more in common than you'd expect. the average american sees less liberal to destroy the basic fabric of american society culture that the matter is we're all americans and all americans hold the first amendment to the constitution near and dear to our. good morning kevin though in this is out. in the morning the. first story just mentioned in the headlines there but good news five russian speaking children that were stranded in iraq have now been reunited with their families it's believed the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents who went off to join. them in a baghdad often age where they were taken after the liberation of mosul we've also been helping to find the children's relatives back in russia. during.

you got that. question. was it with the menu. or. something. like that the place. you're. just so. much guilt.

what good would it get it was at that dinner time. you know i think this might not. say much. so the hope is now the children are back home can return so as much as possible a normal life for their families but though they are safe of course they've got some heartbreaking stories of the time and water on a rock it goes down off it's got the details. this is a second short a childhood for these lucky youngsters some of them like this boy are too young to remember anything but war and the stream missed world that surrounded them so to

norad's 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 r.t. can pay him to help the children. were. 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 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 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 d.j. and fatima a former neighbor and friend in douglas dunn just seven years old recognized the sisters 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 exit baghdad the only thing i tell my good escape . to the. hotel where i had to throw. mom the footage i mean. that's the mom or the old. this was a mom i knew only mom or dad each day. and then there's a. new person who moves you which to go when it comes to there still.

marry him she was scarred by the war both physically and psychologically. faded each list no it's not just. that it would. if it ever known it or not there was no just a leg to go. but in that day it took oakley. as close you know but it was a picture of the world they are the lucky ones all of them now home with family again but for so many orphans back in iraq this ordeal is far from over biggers dawn of r t. l so this morning venezuelan president nicolas maduro has

blasted new u.s. sanctions against his country is insanity this is the only good to have fake this measures are part of an economy coupe today trump has delivered a financial an economy low against the recovery of the venice while an economy that once again insanity has been unleashed it's the insanity of in time any swelling hatred these u.s. sanctions that prohibit financial dealings with the venezuelan government and state oil companies the move is believed to be the biggest economic blow against the door of government washington says a stretch and a warning to madeira to curb his dictatorship officials in venezuela say it's the people of the country who are already struggling under an economic crisis and they will suffer the most. 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 for 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 the 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 has already facing are 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 venezuela 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 they have control over venice was a while. in brussels months been shot dead by the army after you talk to soldiers with a knife the instant of the censure of the belgian capital is being investigated as an act of terror the man of thirty year old belgian of somali origin apparently shouted goldie's greatest in arabic is he started to attack one of the victims has a slightly injured hand but instead took place in the sun katherine district which is full of bars and restaurants because it would be usually busy on a friday night with this is described what they saw. and. i heard people shouting over there 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. belgian police of launched investigations in fact into one hundred eighty nine terror related incidents since the beginning of this year but that is not rigid twenty three cases open every month one lawyer specializing in religious terrorism told us europe has got used these days to living with terror 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. see that people are now no longer surprised i mean this was a lesser attack nobody was killed no. casualties or massive billion casualties which is a more positive stab but again this is a lot of backtracking there having to go against 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 police the streets for things like this. we want every france remains in a state of emergency seven terror attacks have been for all this so far this year the french prime minister has recently said that the country must come to terms with living under the threat of terror. priority of the president and his government is ensuring the safety of the french people the level of threat we face is extremely high we must ensure the security of. the view to live in this state of emergency we cannot live permanently in a state of emergency but french police are complaining it's actually hard to fulfill the duties because of poor working conditions these days a police associations even held a photo competition though to draw attention to the problem everything from rats to cockroaches to leaky pipes to damaged equipment the photos show the shocking state

of police stations across france in many cases it's apparent that even basic equipment become unfit for purpose or use over one hundred fifty photos have already been submitted by officers who say their job now lacks dignity. we all sat on the pole for a two hour walk the i didn't expect to see such catastrophic photos from all across france 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 so with a day of strike action a march is federal to take place next month for the labor forms the police now say they're deeply worried they may not be able to cope. thief.

would have offered us with towards iraq we would like to draw the interior minister's attention to the deteriorating work conditions of france's national police 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 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 meanwhile president iranian micro has been busy keeping up appearances he's reportedly spent twenty six thousand euro on makeup in the last three months alone.

well you look at me and i come on up here is racial division in the u.s. deepens we look in depth at the role of the media in provoking hatred. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around

corporations corporations from washington washington controls the media the media. the voters elected a businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. seemed wrong. to me. to shape out just because get educated and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

again thinks that shooting two is this saturday morning as it is here now we know in most cases i can seventeen minutes past nine so next story is in some francisco in the u.s. the schools gathered for a resistor. tension in the city was hollywood's several right when much is planned for the weekend with counter-demonstrations also expected but now amid safety concerns it seems the leaders of the right wing groups and decided to cancel their rallies tom according to a survey out americans taking a stand 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 people said they would have a guest from the left wing another from the right wing to the bait this issue. the founders of the constitution and the authors never envisioned that the the most

provocative or the most the person that would use hate speech would be sitting in the in the white house they never understood that weaponized 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 could be down there with that one on charlottesville look what happened a few days later in boston where i'm i'm located people call for free speech well you know boss there 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 a. boston bust and a handful of haters people who who are against you will very much it all with

a hater of power what is your evidence internal hater they will cry oh sure everyone is your at 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 end the people from religious groups from free speech groups from peace groups that showed up to nonviolent 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 on the left they want to destroy statues here and they've made common cause with islam fascists in the middle east and elsewhere who are also destroying

history if the powers given to these fascists the leftist fascists in tea for another groups and they all to 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 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. as i have both sides agree than the americans want to defend free speech and it seems that the left on the right of much more in common than the us mainstream media know at least on the surface shows cullum opens been thinking into 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. oh dear you quote from supporters racists are the facts you stand up here in texas and 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 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 u.s. 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 that's 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. in germany the government is also addressing the radical left website that cold violence against police and politicians at the g twenty summit in hamburg an agent and europe correspondent peter all of as more. 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 web site links saying it had been instrumental in organizing the violent scenes that marred 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. the web site 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 which all begs the. question is this now the new normal when politically active groups such as and to far involved

should we expect the violent scenes we saw in hamburg to follow closely behind peter all of germany. where these are shaping up for us international smalling for me good morning. you know they would like to erase the past because it's an inconvenient truth that she was a horrible and right 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 niceness of the american political spectrum. but also. to the ship between kids sure it was approved suggested no proof and a fairly strong one there were two thousand right out some involved in the study

it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientist. do chemicals that down the advertising. really increase the risk of cancer and i chose a means of known to use damage in the launch of test is it a sham that skepticism they do not believe that this is is true by independent scientists so did the need industry period you for this i received some compensation for my time as well as the others why is that the meat lobby definitely didn't like what we've been doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on float you only you're not back to. big business against health. as you're starting to show. in safety.

thank you thank you they say oh thank goodness thank you i want to spend the whole first half of the show on something the mainstream media won't touch with a ten foot pole which is actually a lot of stories i mean in fact this is c.n.n. storage facility filled with eleven foot poles they used to just keep the real news stories a brain.
