a total u. turn on his repeated pledge to quit afghanistan as a new strategy doesn't for see any plan for a withdrawal locals say no one is safe when the u.s. drones are in town. for. a u.s. operation into the house of saud schoolboy they shot him dead later they said they had killed a taliban fighter. a.t.m. sunday morning here in moscow one named kevin zero in this is the weekly iran r.t.r. under the big stories of the last seven days first in the week that was an emotional story about five children from southern russia who were stranded in iraq and they've been reunited with their families now it's believed that the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents who then joined i still see filled them in a baghdad often age where they've been taken out for the liberation of mosul we've

also been trying to help find the other relatives here in russia among the five children and two sisters they called the d.j. and fatima and what they went through is heartbreaking. i know never my mortal. so it's. more than what i said i deserved. to say. i still. think that god put.

out his wrist and i may of travel to dagestan that week see how the two girls are adapting one to life back home again. tears of joy and relief the very evidence that the plane carrying five children from iraq landed in grozny but for the families waiting their stories and balloons there was also the question how to help these children some to some the maillot see to witness the chorus of i still the loss of their parents and being left all alone to bug out often that i. or the little sea states had vision and foot sima base is another 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. this is her deja and she's clearly to leeds of the pack it seems to crooning experience of football has made her even stronger for team zero six comforts in the arms of her

granddad who seems just too afraid to part with her again even for a moment it looks like the perfect family image house filled with children's love to cries plenty of noise and fussing about it takes a while to realize what's missing and i know i need. to go in. and get even with all the love and care has to offer his granddaughters there are still many rooms left on here. to then there's other business. but the critical is about whether. you get in with that but i'm going to go big out of the. center to do just this to get a good tenant tell me that i was shocked at the way they would you push it to get up to that i want to see you know what that kind of our motto is and then and the fact that they're members of the flock but yeah

a lot of the other for the goodwill so that was a. conflict the creation of adults but it's often children who pay the heaviest price while hundreds even thousands of youngsters who remain trapped and lost in what appears to be the ruins of a self-proclaimed caliphate seizure and fits along with a few lucky ones who escaped will now hopefully learn how to be happy children you know hopefully it'll turn out ok for them a danger and fatima are among the five lucky children who found their way back home and but there are of course dozens more stranded in iraq you can find our reports on our videos of these children from the baghdad orphanage on our site r.t. dot com the appeal is if you recognize any of them or got any information about their families then do. please call into the e-mail you see the bottom of your screen at the moment. iraqi military says

it's retaken the strategically important town of tal afar this last week one of the last islamic state strongholds in the country but the u.s. spoke to fences come at a heavy cost to civilians the operation started a week ago i saw militants have dropped back from tel afar but they still hold nearby territory a correspondent with the latest from there. we are at the airport telephone mere five kilometers from the city itself where the operation to liberate is underway actually serves as a sort of said sold base serving the entire operation and soldiers from the front lines they come here to rest and to eat before heading back there exultant they say that the operation is almost over they've actually even got a message from isis. i have a massive leave they are world now you have no place here will hunt you down

wherever you are there jubilation however is a stark odds with what the people of talent have gone through all our shock was miserable we were under occupation imagine that and you know they turned the mosques into prisons there were thirty to forty people there we don't know what happened to them they demanded that mullah recruited young people to join eisel and when they refused they locked them up there was no interest and no food nothing to eat we were almost dying there was no overt and no man to sing my kidneys have almost failed it's been three years without medicine or anything tens of thousands of iraqi soldiers will mobilize for this operation the u.s. led coalition is brought to bear its full mice its people fleeing from talent and more than thirty thousand have escaped from the city escaped from the fighting they had to brave the. walking through the you put in deserts which is all there is here for ten twenty hours to get to safety to find water to find food medicine medical

supplies and indeed treatment and from what we've heard many of them didn't make it but the commander of the operation spoke to us and he said they expect to be done in another four days. everyone thought deliberation would be difficult and we would be two months the deliberation is almost complete another interesting development that we've learned is that on the twenty fifth of august four hundred families of isis fighters were let out of the city the details are murky and nobody knows exactly what happened but the commander of the operation and he previously was the chief of the mosul operation he told us that indeed this had happened he confirmed it but again without details and what about the four hundred families that escaped . did you fail to catch them and did you let them do for humanitarian reasons.

we have a system we had of all the refugees to the iraqi government and they handled. still the battle and telephone is far from over from what the soldiers tell us most of the civilians have managed to get out and managed to flee nevertheless there are still thousands of people trapped in a shrinking area where isis still holds sway and where they still haven't been defeated and they have a terrifying few days ahead of them the operation by the striking similarities with the recent campaign in nearby mosul which left thousands dead the two cities were strongholds besieged by u.s. back to rescue forces thousands of civilians were trapped inside both tell of mosul under constant bombardment many of those who tried to flee were killed in the crossfire and those who remained quickly ran out of basic supplies. reasons you have been moving forward of course we see that there are a lot of the good in it of course because it brilliant partly mean similar

consequence what the move for nothing and their love for nothing but is that the people who are leading be able. to lead men you know then. none of it would be. monday donald trump announced his new war strategy for afghanistan the main idea is that u.s. troops will be staying in the country the president's new plan provides no time frame for a withdrawal though and all those administration hinted at a boost in numbers of troops he chose to keep the exact number secret as well he also wants nato allies to throw more troops and money into the pot as well it's a start to parts of them from tribes views before he came to power we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorists and criminal networks afghanistan is a total and complete disaster let's get with it get out of afghanistan in the past

traumas highly dismissive obama's approach to afghanistan he called for a speedy withdrawal you may recall and condemned the loss of american lives and wasted money we asked locals in afghanistan for their views now. how did you go you couldn't hear american and afghan forces carry out operations at night sometimes their intelligence reports are inaccurate civilians including women and children get killed. and there was a doctor as a horse sulu is hit by a drone strike and another man was on his way home when he was killed by. the power of the u.s. operation into the house and so schoolboy they shot him dead later they said they had killed a taliban fighter before they left they blew up the entire building the u.s. strategy for afghanistan comes amid a shakeup in donald trump's in a circle a nexus cullom open reports the president's foreign policy decisions with his new

team may surprise his supporters so you want to be an american president what gets you aleck to is it pledges of more wars or the opposite we've been moving from one reckless intervention to another kinda libya syria iraq iran this destructive cycle bad decisions we cannot be the policeman of the world whole show that promises a peace were key for trump voters more than half of americans said they would prefer that the next president curb u.s. involvement in military conflicts and trump isn't the only president to have gotten the job of writing hopes of peace but as we confront a vicious adversary that abides by no rules. i believe the united states of america must remain a standard bearer in the conduct of war. that is what makes us different from those whom we fight you got it they even gave obama the nobel peace prize preemptively but by the time he left office he had droned bombed and intervened even more than

his predecessor many hoped that the donald would make a difference however it looks like he may be set on a similar track with words of love being replaced by war and i know you ordered a targeted new jersey story or if you can see we are sending an armada very powerful we have submarines. very powerful we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option north korea best not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never see but thinking out of policy is pretty far from a one man job here are some of the people who help think out and develop trump strategy you know the one that got him elected well they're all gone except for one meanwhile the white house routinely invites people who have

a pretty clear interest for wars to go on people voted for trump because they knew hillary clinton was a warmonger and that she had wanted to destabilize the middle east as she did with libya the people in charge of the white house are now jared kushner trump gary gary cohen h.r. mcmaster paul douceur all very pro-war people and those are close advisors i think that most people who support trump hope they keep to his promises but they do recognize that all of his closest advisors are now opposed to the agenda that got trampled elected yes the new team trump isn't exactly made up of peace mongers and it's pretty far from the vision that americans voted for mop and r.t. new york with us former u.s. congressman ron paul of.

he changes the words and makes it sound like the world will come apart if we don't continue to be the world's policeman he says he's not into nation building but there was a pretense anyway how many nations that we can really build or improve we've torn nations apart so he is seen as a flip flopper which i think politically is a bad position to be. going to be perpetual war nobody knows exactly who the enemy is and nobody will know when it is ended i think trump has been maybe a little bit more upfront that his goal isn't to get done in six months or a year it looks like he's planning to be there for the long term. he wants to increase the troop levels than he will but we don't know exactly and we who are on the pro peace side think that he should do very very little without the consent of the congress and yet it sounds to me like even he wants to give away

some of his authority and say well the generals are in charge the generals in charge let them make all the decisions. even if he flip flops and goes along with the neo cons which it looks like he has he's not going to win them over the people who support mccain and graham and rubio they're not going to all of sudden say oh yeah it looks like trump is one of us now we're going to support a so i think he loses i think he loses in a political way he loses support from some of his base and he's not going to gain any support from the people who are now saying oh he looks like he's waking up in the he's accepting the neo con position approach to a war coming up the money when some of the threats in the states and other trends taken to global twist.

same wrong. lol just don't hold. to shape out. and in. the trail. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground.

again thanks for watching us this sunday morning following the deadly atrocities in spain the main focus of attention is now on the small town the ripple where the suspected mastermind of the attacks in used to live and preach it's where all the members of the terrorist cell grew up on the seventeenth of august they used a van and a car to ram pedestrians in barcelona in cambria skilling fifteen people and leaving over one hundred injured the day before their bomb making factory in alkan was destroyed in an accidental explosion as it turned out. correspondent peter all of it traveled to report and talked to those who knew the suspects. radicalizing force they will batticaloa i spy in the rock in borneo in man police now believe the ripple was at the center of the plot. this small spanish town took

away in the foothills of the pyrenees is hardly what you think of as a hotbed of islamic terrorism but it was here in the fall that the terrorist cell which attacked barcelona recruited were indoctrinated and radicalized eventually going on to carry out their deadly mission. was. but it was here that the terrorists that rammed his truck into crowds of people and boss alone lived. the twenty two year old moroccan was gunned down on monday following eight four day manhunt by authorities. who our. local people here say they can't believe he lived within that community. they

play football together on the beach nearby with other kids from the neighborhood they were brought up here since they were little but. of course if. they were behind what happened around here we can believe it the seem to be very nice people who want to be the whole roaming around but it's just that now we have to salute and they also see that the sale melted into a whole society attending the local high school and being a fixture on local football fields so how did say seemingly quiet group of quiet teenage is quiet town and is part of the jihad to sell. the answers to that many are looking towards the mosque that they attended it's here that they're understood to have attended prayers led by our society who's been accused of being the road. behind this terrorist cell the authorities pointed the

finger at him and now that's being reiterated by some of those accused of being part of the cell have appeared in court but who is. what do we know about the thirty year old moroccan national we know that he had a criminal past in front back in twenty ten he was sent to prison here in spain for his part in a drug smuggling operation and it's in jail where he's understood to have become radicalized in fact he's believed to have spent time with those who plotted and carried out the madrid bombings we also know that back in twenty sixteen he spent time in belgium around the time of the bombings on the metro the airports in brussels. he is believed to have been killed it was announced by authorities that his d.n.a. was found at the site of a bomb making factory did exploded in at the moment the authorities are writing bad

off as that his own potential weapons of death course him out in the end. as the investigation continues arrests continue to be made including that of the owner of an internet cafe that suspected members of the terrorist cell and no into a frequent it begs the question just how many small tranquil communities like this could potentially be harboring fatal terrorist cells peter all of a. you know let's remind ourselves of their faces these are the twelve suspected members of terrorist so that came from a group paul all believed to be from moroccan community are of similar age the youngest is just seventeen and the other is just twenty two what's their life going to bring the rather close teenagers are not a new phenomenon of course last year a sixteen year old syrian boy was arrested on suspicion of plotting

a bomb attack in the german city of cologne that in paris there was a fifteen year old boy rest on suspicion of planning an attack he was not acting alone the the two girls age fourteen and fifteen at the time were also arrested there in the homes raided a lawyer specializing in religious terrorism says europe's got used to living with terror and that security should be tightened across the continent 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 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 police the streets. next in the big story this last week the movement to take down statues of confederate heroes and other

controversial historical figures is getting momentum in the us all started in charlottesville virginia violence broke out there two weeks ago when a rally in support of the monument to the cross federal general was met with a counter protest since then several other monuments have been destroyed or covered up in other parts of the country although sometimes the targets of questionable. characters that george washington or thomas jefferson statute or robert is that they fall into.

e.s.p.n. executives have decided that play by play announcer robert lee will not be in the broadcast booth for next saturday's college football season opener because of the similarity between his name and the same confederate icon.

this is a perfect example of what kind of a lunacy our country is going through connally's rice said it beautifully these are mot these this is our history right and what the left is engaging is a storable revisionism this is the reality for better or for worse of what the us it was in its most of our founding fathers were slave owners right there are participating in the evil of slavery so then we have tear them down so we take washington off the one dollar bill it's a teachable moment you walk in with your kids the south and you see your mind at the jefferson davis or whoever it might be it's a moment to sit with your child reflect a lot was and how we moved from it i think we're heading to a very dark place and it scares me quite a bit yeah it seems the war and start shoes doesn't end in the u.s. monuments to a stranger as colonial past including a statue of captain cook in sydney of also drawn people's wrath critics say it ignores tens of thousands of years of indigenous history britain's not escape the trendy that the journalist for a major u.k.

newspaper is no call for nelson's call of no less in london to be toppled she described the naval commander as a white supremacist and a defender of slavery we asked people in london whether the admiral should be given his marching orders or not there's been an argument need saying that in this day and age he would be perceived as a white supremacist. yes robert everybody as you see everybody seems to enjoy now i don't think it should be demoted i don't think it's going to do any home time to get rid of nelson yeah i know why well you can get rid of the stand. tennis to show some video fun stuff that you can get rid of the debate continues first the news rep of the week from our team this morning thanks for watching this sunday i'm kevin zero in our programs continue right after this break. bitcoin saul's for trust it's a mathematical formula that solves for trust think about all the institutions in
