the greater media landscape our team is not all right but we are a solid alternative to the. liberal or conservative and as you can see from this bar graph we don't skew the facts either talking at lefties talking at righties oh there you go above it all to look at world are in the spotlight now frankly a lot of noise about a classic bias and it actually took me way more time and i care to admit. it. was. the iraqi army says it has recaptured tal afar from islamic state while rights groups voiced concerns over the fate of civilian. islamic state
6:01 pm
claims it was behind friday stopping in the belgian capital alone a time injured two soldiers. stranded all finns are reunited with their relatives in russia after that parents took them to rob the nature and islamic states oh say has been running a campaign to bring them back home. that this is all to the international broadcasting to you from moscow on the key aaron good to have you with us and we start with news from iraq the army says it has retaken the city of tal afar which is one of the last islamic state strongholds in the country the u.s. box offensive has come as a heavy cost for civilians. the
6:02 pm
operation started a week ago islamic state militants have dropped him back from the sea of telefon but they still hold in a high territory. for the operation as striking similarities with the recent campaign in nearby mosul which left thousands dead now to cities where i still strongly hold the besieged by us back to rocky forces thousands of civilians were trapped inside those telefon and mostly under constant and many of those who tried to flee were killed in the crossfire and those who remained quickly ran out of basic supplies. of has the latest from telephone. it is important to note that while by all accounts the city of tal afar itself has fallen the province has not the battle has not ended the operation has not ended it
6:03 pm
continues but as the commander of the operation told us today the city itself has largely been taken there are a few holdouts still in the city if you jihad this isis fighters still hiding in basements waiting to ambush iraqi troops that are clearing the city that are checking for mines and booby traps but otherwise the city is largely under a rock you control and i believe they announced that on the radio for the troops to hear because all of a sudden in all directions people began firing in the air and cheering in celebration nevertheless the fighting continues in the suburbs around and throughout the provinces well far from it they expect another few days at least of fighting before they declare mission accomplished so civilians have tough few days ahead of them on top of what they've been through already tens of thousands of people have fled their homes trying to find them safe. trying to get away from the
6:04 pm
crossfire the edge strikes the artillery the explosions some of them braved the desert walking for ten for twenty hours through scorching heat in order to get to safety to find food water medical treatments they've been through a lot that's what. we ran from the shelling from the culmination we're left and the people from islamic state. our children a sick we're stranded here without sayed there is no fresh water anymore some of the aid workers have been hit very shoot them this is my son he is suffering we have no electricity. there will have a number of interesting developments yesterday on the twenty fifth the volvo four hundred families of isis fighters managed to leave to fight it would appear as though there was some sort of deal made with the iraqi forces that. because it
6:05 pm
is highly doubtful that four hundred families with women and children could have broken the blockade broken through although was fishnets have confirmed to us that these did indeed happen they were scotland details at the very evasive and didn't offer us many clues another interesting thing is that everybody expected isis to put up more resistance they expected the fight to be tougher than it was and many soldiers that we've spoken to expressed surprise that it had been so easy suggesting that perhaps some isis fighters at least had managed to infiltrate out get away get out of this area the area. that is besieged but the fight isn't yet over there are still strongholds in areas they control throughout and they're ossie of aliens in those areas. islamic state has claimed

responsibility for friday's stomping in brussels a man attacked two soldiers before being shot dead the assailants was a thirty year old belgian citizen of somali origin according to the soldiers who shouted god is greatest in arabic before lashing out he was apparently carrying a copy of the qur'an and the fake gun instant took place in a crowded district with several bars and restaurants soldiers have become a common sight on the streets of brussels since last year's suicide bombings and security consultant ted see according to see the use of the military seems to be working. the modern vogue for vehicle and or knife attacks is easily explained bombs are difficult bombing components are hard to come by and they're getting harder but so easy to come by well a car or a van or maybe even a large truck or lorry and a knife or
6:07 pm
a sword you know these things can't be controlled by authorities terribly successfully not the way that bomb components can be controlled it's not clear to me that soldiers doing something other than guarding static points like tourist spots or parliament houses or you know other places where you can expect large concentrations of people which in turn make them attractive to potential terror attacks i think there is a utility there for soldiers to stand in for police who can be freed to do other duties that they do better than soldiers you know if it's a static target like big ben or you know the grump loss in belgium in brussels soldiers can be employed to something like that to stand there and show their guns and basically discourage beforehand you know to deter as it were terrorist attacks from happening so i think that could be expected to be a useful way to deploy soldiers on an anti terror mission in western cities.
6:08 pm
well those events unfolded in brussels on friday night a similar incident was taking place in london to see it is the british see. now know that the met counter-terrorism command are treating this latest friday evening incident which did occur shortly after eight thirty pm friday evening near buckingham palace where three police officers were injured now what we do know in terms of what exactly had raveled we the police have said that a twenty six year old man from luton has pulled up had pulled up in his car up to a police found with three armed police officers who had approached this car and when they did they discovered that the man was trying to pull out a four foot sword while repeatedly shouting allahu akbar now of course a struggle ensued in which the three police officers who again were unarmed they were injured two of them had to be taken to hospital the third one sustained my minor injuries and did need to be hospitalized all of the police officers were discharged quite quickly from hospital and we do know that they were able to and
6:09 pm
past eight this man with a c. s. spray and the attacker is now in custody at a police station in central london this latest incident is one more reason for concern because of course we have to keep in mind that throughout just recent months several terrorist attacks had taken place here in britain.
6:10 pm
comes terrorism expert david lo told is the extremists involved in such incidents maybe acting independently i don't know if you could say there's a direct link you have to go so some of these attacks again to be hard to prove was a direct command given by. the gave the group pretty much all islamic states these are times of it's not like it's a expect for coming here and it looks as though of it was this group has inspired many individuals and when you compare this to spain where clearly there was you know around ten or so people working together be interested to see what will come out from this one outside impasse was this a bit working on their own or do they have some form of assistance it's quite sad
6:11 pm
thing you know that was the turkey defendant as well last week that was suspected to be a terrorist instead of looking at philip i mean what people are asking why for the peoples or why space. if you look at a group like the ash they have they don't recognize it a.j. graphical boundaries if you're not with the you're against them about their philosophy it doesn't matter whether you're christian or muslim or jew it doesn't matter which ethnicity or as regards nationalism if you're not with if you're against them and i think this is what we're starting to see you know. five children from southern russia who were stranded in iraq have been reunited with their families it's believed the youngsters were taken syria iraq by their parents who are joined i still see films them in a baghdad orphanage where they were taken off the liberation of mosul artie's was lanham i have traveled to russia's republic of dagestan to speak exclusively to some of the returning children. tears of joy and relief very evident at the plane
6:12 pm
carrying five children from rockland in grozny but for the families waiting with stories and balloons there was also the question how to help these children read some to some the morality they witnessed the chorus of i still the loss of their parents and being left all alone into bugout orphanage. work. for the little sisters had vision for thema bases and other thing of the past here is then your home and their family has a great to share their first day together with us the girls found the perfect remedy in their grandfather plenty of sweets and friends to play with bases had dijon and she's clearly to leads of the pack it seems to gruelling experience of football's own has made her even stronger for t.-mo six comfort in the arms of her granddad who seems just too afraid to part with her again even for
6:13 pm
a moment it looks like the perfect family image house filled with children's laughter cries plenty of noise and fussing about it takes a while to realise what's missing. and scary. and yet even with all the love and care has to offer his granddaughter there are still many wounds left on here to them as i think was the date. but the printer going to supply the other. i think that it might have been a good big idea the. sheriff said it to take a turn and some of it i was shocked at the way they would you push it to get up to that i wanted to go into that kind of art margin that and the fact that they're members of the flock but yeah a lot of other sort of good will so there's a conflict if the creation of adults but it's often choose. to play the heaviest
6:14 pm
price while hundreds even thousands of youngsters who remain trapped and lost in what appears to be the ruins of a self-proclaimed caliphate and foot sea along with a few lucky ones who escaped will now hopefully learn how to be happy children. i say has been running an online campaign to help locate the orphans relatives inversion. i shouldn't if you got that motorola was it was i'm used to search in vitro meter move wasn't what the menu bar none doesn't work. but the work was. so good. that the buddies set up shop.
6:15 pm
to. conserve your. research and. you know. if it. were good that in order to do better to come. here and get it out of my face smiling out of your. own mess i assume such a simple sack must eat. shit.
6:16 pm
and then when i'm president has voiced his anger at the latest u.s. sanctions the story and most all to come stay with us. me. thank. you.
6:17 pm
in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around cooperation cooperation from washington washington media the media over voters elected to businessman to run this country business because. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . thanks. now the venezuelan president's nicolo madero has condemned the latest u.s. sanctions as knox have hatred against his country. you see only it'll help these measures are part of an economy coupe today trump has delivered a financial an economy low against the recovery of the venezuelan economy and once
6:18 pm
again insanity has been unleashed it's the insanity of anti then his well and hatred. the new rules ban u.s. firms from lending to the venezuelan government or the state oil company that the toughest measures so far against the mature government washington accuses him of turning his country into a dictatorship but that is where the officials say the sanctions are merely punishing innocent people. 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 venezuela's president has come out with a very strong reaction to the sanctions that nikki haley is referring to that were signed off on by trump president trump on friday and target the country's energy sector terms national security adviser did comment on the possibility of military intervention the country there's no such thing really anymore as as only
6:19 pm
a military option or de or diplomatic option or we're already in economic option we try to integrate all elements together but no military actions are into subpoenaed 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 so government officials in venezuela have criticized the
6:20 pm
sanctions saying the u.s. is possibly trying to do just that and the thinks it could have consequences prevent as well as people 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 plans of the u.s. government for venezuela for. many years simply because it's a large oil supplying country the us would desperately like to recover control of venezuela's 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 venezuela's oil and as well as foreign minister jorge audios us spoke exclusively to r.t. he said his country needs to unite against hostile foreign powers.
6:21 pm
now is a moment a decision has to be made whether venezuelans will take our side on the sanctions and be a nation united we need all of our wits about us to withstand the threats and consequences of these actions. the whole region must react in the same way like when we reacted to the threat of force against venezuela we must be ready to use any resources to protect our people we are waiting for a reaction one that corresponds with international law the most essential reaction is that the sovereignty of our country must be respected that there is no need to interfere in venezuela's domestic affairs and that the policy of one sided sanctions that violate international law must not be tolerated. poland is demanding billions of euros from germany and reparations for the second
6:22 pm
world war. in fact it could be said that poland is demanding justice because we are a victim of the second world war the damage was not repaired anyway just the opposite today talking about her pray stance is a claim for justice and for what belongs to poland surveys show a majority of poles support the idea of germany paying war compensation the exact sum is unclear but one government estimate put down much of more than seven hundred billion euros and this isn't the only issue of a shot on the way in poland's relations with its european partners poland has refused to accept my current quotas imposed by the this week the polish interior minister blasted the policy saying that accepting so many migrants into europe is effectively putting a noose around the continent's neck meantime poland has requested the european commission with draw a legal proceedings against warsaw over the issue but poland is not the only e.u.
6:23 pm
country to fail to meet its obligation in taking in migrants is joined by the czech republic and hungary warsaw was expected to take in seven thousand refugees but so far as you can see it's taken zero. poland's foreign minister has defended his country's position after the president our french president said warsaw is isolating itself. i think that statements are another arrow in the strategy of the country and the manifestation of how this country wants to position itself on the margins of europe's history present and future the state chose today to isolate itself in the functioning progress of. poland is not isolating itself and has not been isolated it seems to me that president macro and carelessly follows media reports and doesn't know what's going on in our part of europe it happens sometimes . in europe experts martin some says poland's defiance against policies will cause
6:24 pm
problems for the block. the big country the major players. and of course if the no in cheating with the. european partners there's going to be problems further down the line of course the solution and so from the big players in the european union specifically the journals in the french of course they resent they feel as if they talked about the germans and the french and so on they're very skeptical of the policies being pursued by european union. migration for example but of course the your opinion has got lots of other problems to resolve you know. the poles may dislike the european union but they get an awful lot of money from them if they leave the bloc than a lot of foreign money from somewhere else. it in government has banned a radical left wing web site blamed for inciting violence during the g twenty protests in hamburg this summer a raid on the homes of activists behind the site and covets knives and batons our
6:25 pm
europe correspondent peter all of us has the details. 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 anything like. 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
6:26 pm
as model of first of all it is about a ban of the associations not a news outlet and from now on the operation of the site is with immediate effect a crime even from continues its operation then there will be reason to press charges that will surely follow starting from today. the web site was used to walk in ice attacks on security services as world leaders mixed at the big get together but finding out just where the website was based has proved harder that it may first seem we understand that 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 knives to persist in sling shots all things that could
6:27 pm
be used to cause real damage if in the wrong hands which all begs the. question is now with the new normal. politically active group such as far involved should we expect the violent scenes we saw in homburg to follow closely behind peter all of. germany. i say your thoughts on the day's stories by following us on facebook and twitter you can also visit our website. but also. fairly strong. done by a well respected scientists. do chemicals that down the advertising. really
6:28 pm
increase the risk of cancer. known to them in the law. that is true by independent scientists. from my time as well as the others why is that the meat lobby. doing if you want to learn more you'll get a. flood of. big business against health.
6:29 pm
ok i am thankful they come they are a headache they've been ok 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 and here's jake tapper using one to keep away an anti factory farm protester . not cool taps not cool off.
