week that was an emotional story about five children from southern russia who were stranded in iraq could have been reunited with their families this believe the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents who were then killed while fighting for i still see film the children of baghdad often age where they were taken after the liberation of mosul we've also been trying as best we can to find other relatives in russia among the five children a two sisters the names a d.j. and fatima what they went through is heartbreaking. mom or dad each. so. one of them are going to be jerking her. third so. i still. think that dad thing will pull.

out his wrist in my having the week travel to dagestan to see how the two little girls are adapting to life back home. tears of joy and relief very evident at the plane carrying five children from iraq landed in grozny but for the families waiting with stories and balloons there was also the question of how to help these children some to some the military who witnessed the chorus of i still the loss of their parents and being left all alone at the bulk of the orphanage. for the little sisters had vision and for thema bases and other thing of the past

here is then your home and their family has agreed 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 and she's clearly the leads of the pack it seems to gruelling experience of football's own has made her even stronger for team zero six comfort 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 a house filled with children's laughter cries plenty of noise and fussing about it takes a while to realize what's missing and. she saw everything but she says her parents are alive. why would i tell her otherwise. and yet even with all the love and care has to offer his granddaughter there are still many rooms left on here. today under the guise of the three days without food or water in

a dusty dirty basement she told me when there were bombs they would go to basement and when she sees a helicopter now she's terrified and i tell her not to be afraid. that i was opening an ice cream the other day and i have a habit of opening the wrapper by popping it i did it once and she jumped as if she'd had an explosion. in the. conflict is the creation of adults but it's often children who pay the heaviest price while country it's even thousands of youngsters who remain trapped and lost in what appears to be the ruins of a self-proclaimed caliphate at the asia and foot sea about along with a few lucky ones who escaped well now hopefully learn how to be happy children while you confide more of our reports and video of the children from the baghdad orphanage on our site our t. dot com there's an appeal there to really we're just asking if you recognize any of

these guys have got any information about their families contact us via the e-mail you can see the bottom of your screen is now and so you can find out more on our site. talk of iraq the iraqi military says it's retaken the strategically important town of tal afar one of the last islamic state strongholds in the country but the u.s. backed offensive has come at a heavy cost for civilians. the operation started a week ago high so militants have brought back from tel afar but they still hold nearby territory senior correspondent laura got a report from the. we're at the airport of talent five mia five kilometers from the city itself where the operation to liberate is underway this 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 for 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 a well as you because 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 molests recruited young people to join eisel and when they refused they locked them up there was no interest in no food nothing to eat we were almost dying there was no work 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 were mobilized for this operation the u.s. led coalition has 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 walking through the you put in deserts which is all there is here for ten twenty hours to to get. 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 deliberations room is 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

a 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 that escaped. did you fail to catch them and did you let them do for humanitarian reasons. we have a system we handed over if he she said 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. and of the operation striking similarities

with the recent campaign in nearby mosul which course of the thousands dead as we reported on the two cities where i saw strongholds these the similarities besieged by us but to rescue forces thousands of civilians were trapped inside both telephone mosul and a constant bombardment many of those who tried to flee were killed in the crossfire and those who remained quickly ran out of basic supplies. and the operations have been moving forward of course we see that there are a lot of others that get in that have been that it of course be brilliant for that partly seen in your consequent to what could be in the lead moving up from very front love to nothing for them but it doesn't mean that people who are leaving be able. to lean in you know then when. none of that was being shot. on 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 at all for a withdrawal although his administration did hint at a boost in numbers of troops to keep the exact numbers secret but he did say he wanted nato allies to throw more troops and more money into the port it's a stark departure than from transfuse before he came to power we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorist and criminal networks afghanistan is a total and complete disaster let's get with it get out of afghanistan in the past trump was highly dismissive of obama's approach to afghanistan called for a speedy withdrawal and condemned the loss of american lives and money wasted we asked locals in afghanistan their views. 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 who is hit by a drone strike and another man was on his way home when he was killed in the back of power to the u.s. all creation into the house and so school boy 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 in this column open reports next the president's foreign policy decisions with his new team and he surprised 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 don't order a targeted new jersey story or if you can see who 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 helped think out and develop 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 closest 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. former u.s. congressman ron paul of trump's comes to to you. 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 a 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 in 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 will 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 a half a million people solona to remember the victims of the tenor attacks in spain. thank you for new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to the press this is what before three of the more people. interested in the water. off a million people taking part in an anti terrorist. the show of unity was also to remember the fifteen victims of the deadly attacks in spain the crowds carried. out afraid walking alongside them is king philip of spain but the major focus of the past week has been the time now for a poll where the terrorist cell was believed to be radicalized peter all of

a traveled there and talked to the people who knew the suspect. radicalizing force. a month 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 i. think you 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. but. of course if. they were behind will happen round here we can believe it the seem to be very nice people who want to be totally the whole roaming around but it's just they keep always have to salute and they also see that the sale melted into a full 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 on a quiet town and is part of a jihad to sell the answers to the vast many 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. ringmaster 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 of a small tranquil communities like this could potentially be harboring fatal terrorist cells peter all of. your we at least expect it well these are the twelve

suspects members of the terror cell that came from paul all are believed to be from the moroccan community in the ages old pretty seven as well just seventeen to twenty two years old the eldest of them what life are they got now coming up radicalized teenagers is not a new phenomenon last year a sixteen year old syrian boy was arrested on. suspicion of plotting a bomb attack in the german city of cologne you may recall then in paris a fifteen year old boy was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack one lawyer specializing in religious terrorism told us europe's got to get used to living with terror and 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 shouldn't police the streets. stories from the week just going to move with the structures of confederate heroes another controversial story called figures gave momentum in the states all started in charlottesville virginia violence broke out weeks ago now with rally in support of the monument of the confederate general was met with a come to protest the rest is history since then several monuments to be destroyed or covered up in other parts of the country too although sometimes the targets are questionable. i don't care if the george washington statue or thomas jefferson statue or robert

davis statue they all into combat. e.s.p.n. executives have decided that play by play announcer robert levy will not be in the broadcast booth for next saturday's college football season opener because of the similarity between his name and the famed 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 my 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 it's i mean 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 to the south and you see a line of the jefferson davis or whoever it might be it's a moment to sit with your child to reflect a lot was and how we move from it i think we're heading to a very dark place and it scares me quite

a bit the warm start she's doesn't end in the u.s. monuments to straightly is colonial past including a statue of captain cook in sydney have also drawn people's wrath critics say it ignores tens of thousands of years if he did eunice history there britain's not escape the trendy the one journalist for major u.k. newspapers call for melson this column in london to be toppled she described the naval commander as a white supremacist and quote the defender of slavery we have people there whether the admiral should be given his marching orders or no. there's been an argument need to think that in this day and age you could be perceived as a white supremacist. rubbish everybody as you see everybody seems to enjoy now i don't think it should be i don't think it's going to do any home time to get rid of no one well you can get rid of is that. tends to show some of that the oh fun stuff that you can get rid of well at least it ends on a positive note that's the news rough for this week. kevin though in our programs

continue right after this second. with just manufactured and sentenced to public will. when the ruling close is protect them so. when the flaming. lips be they will. ignore middle of the room six. million real new. coins saul's for trust it's a mathematical formula that solves for trust think about all the institutions in your life that require trust you trust people on the road are going to be not crashing into you you trust that the doctor is professional and you trust the

hospital is working in a trust third parties all day long but point is the first trust international currency that doesn't require trust it just requires consensus to buy into every ten minutes the protocol and why would you not be buying into the protocol if you're getting fabulously wealthy or watching central banks collapse i like about it i mean wealth comes and goes but watching central banks crawl into their desk and pee themselves and try that's what i like. this photograph is gone viral it's a striking illustration of moral strength and fortitude kid you can see the students of rwanda's one and only classical ballet school. shop contrast of a country's brutal history and nine hundred ninety four about one million people were killed in rwanda just one hundred. soon.
