youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents who were killed while fighting for the still arty film the children in a baghdad often age where they were taken after the liberation of mosul we've also been helping to try to find their other relatives in russia to help them settle in among the five children and two sisters the names of deja and fatima and what they went through is heartbreaking. i know mom or dad each time. so. one of them could i said try desert her. third said. i still. think that damn thing.

is. just a snapshot of life the teaser ruslan my travel to die to start to see how these two little girls a doubting out a life back home. tears of joy in relief the very evident at the plane carrying five children from iraq landed in grozny but for the families waiting to stores and balloons there was also the question how to help these children some to some the maillot see to witness the horrors of i still the loss of their parents and being left all alone into bugged out often that. i. was a little cease to have 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 what these are and she is clearly the leads of the pack it seems to grueling experience of football's own has made her even stronger for team zero six culprits in the arms of her ground that are 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 love to 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 granddaughters there are still many wounds left on here. to them as either because 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 once and she jumped as if she'd had an explosion. in the room who. knows. the. conflict is 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 had leisure and fitzy about along with a few lucky ones who escaped well now hopefully learn how to be happy children while we're trying to keep track of where they get on you can find our reports and our video of the children from the baghdad often age on our site the appeal is if you recognize any of them we've got any information about their families do please contact us where that e-mail is saying on your screens now.

while we're talking of iraq the iraqi military in the weeks says it's retaken the strategically important town of tal afar off from one of the last islamic state strongholds of course in the country the but the u.s. back to fence it has come at a heavy cost for civilians. the operation started a week ago i still militants have dropped but now from tel afar but they're still holding territory nearby. reports from that. we're at the airport telephone mere five kilometers from the city itself where the operation to liberate is under way 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 up 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 i sew 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. all mice it's people fleeing from

telephone 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 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 he 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 of 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 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. the operation striking similarities than with the recent campaign in nearby mosul which left thousands dead the two cities were both eisel strongholds besieged both by us back to rocky forces thousands of

civilians were trapped inside both tal afar a mosul of the constant bombardment many of those who tried to flee were killed in the crossfire and those who remained quickly run of the basic supplies and the operations not been moving forward of course we think that there are a lot of others that get in harbin and that would of course be part of partly similar consequence to what would be in the lead move the markets are very much on the lever through water that is that it is that people who are a little meal. lehman you know then grand plan nine while being shot. for the big use in the wake of 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 of those administration also hinted at a boost in numbers of troops he chose to keep the exact numbers secret but he did

say he wants nato allies to throw more troops and more money into the pot it's a stark departure than from trump's views 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 truck was highly dismissive of obama's approach to afghanistan trump called for a speedy withdrawal and condemned the loss of american lives and wasted money we asked locals in afghanistan their views. how did you call you could an american and afghan forces carry out operations at night sometimes their intelligence reports are inaccurate civilians including women and children get killed. that it was understood that there was a doctor is a horse who is hit by a drone strike and another man was on his way home when he was killed by the fact that i want to show us all creation into the house and saw

a school boy they shot him dead later they said they had killed a taliban finds 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 and his column open reports next the president's foreign policy decisions with his new team my surprise in support. 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 wrecked was intervention to another cut in libya syria iraq iran this destructive cycle bad decisions we cannot beat the policeman of the world polls show that promises of 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 ordered a targeted new jersey strike 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. life

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 deuce are all very pro-war people and those are trumps close as advisors i think that most people who support trump hope that he'll 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 caleb oppen r.t. new york we lost former u.s. congressman ron paul of trump's constant you to. 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 but 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 mean 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 though 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 coming up this sunday lunchtime hoth a million people march in boats alone it's remember the victims the terror attacks in spain. seem wrong. just don't. get to see it just come out. and it. equals betrayal.

when somebody find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again of a million people have taken part in an anti terrorist march in barcelona the show

of unity was also to remember the fifteen victims of the deadly attacks in spain the crowds carried banners chanting we're not afraid walking alongside them is king felipe of spring but the major focus of the past week has been the turn of red for where the terrorist cell was believed to have been radicalized paper all over traveled there in the week and talk to people who knew the suspects. radicalizing force back to spy in the uk in borneo a month police now believe that ripple was at the center of the plot. the small spanish town took the way 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 in wasilla 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 their 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 will happen round here we can believe it the seem to be very nice people who want to be fully roaming somebody make sure steal the key

to the bus loaded with a whole slew of things that the sale melted into 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 a quiet town and is part of the jihad to sell off the answers to vast 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. the master 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 power 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 on 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 that 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. the big news of the week a movement to take down statues of confederate heroes and other controversial historical figures gay momentum in the united states all stars of course in charlottesville virginia without violence broke out two weeks ago when a rally in support of the monument of the confederate general was met with a counter protest the rest is history since then several monuments have been destroyed. you know covered up in other parts of the country 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 need to calm down. e.s.p.n. executives have decided that a 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 not these this is our history right and what the left is engaging is a storable revisionism this is the reality for. better for worse of what the us was that is 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 when you walk in with your kids to the south and you see of mine at the jefferson davis or whoever it might be it's a moment to sit with your child to reflect a what was and how we've moved from it i think we're heading to

a very dark place and it scares me quite a bit while that war on star choose doesn't end in the u.s. monuments to a strangely is colonial past including a statue of captain cook in sydney have also drawn people's wrath critics said ignores tens of thousands of years of indigenous history in that case and britain's not escape the trendy the one journalist from a u.k. newspaper has called for nelson's column no less in london to be toppled she described the naval commander as a white supremacist and a defender of slavery people then for fellow square whether the bill should be given his marching orders or not. there's been an argument meade saying 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 harm trying to get rid of yeah i know why well you can get rid of is that. tends to show some of that the oh fun stuff that you can get rid of. but certain to anyway

before i leave you news just coming out of an explosion at nom storage facility that forced authorities in azerbaijan to evacuate people from nearby residential areas seems serious there nischelle reports suggest the explosion was caused by a fire inside the po which seventy five kilometers northeast of the capital but coo several people have been injured but have been prevented from reaching the victims because of the blaze you can see it reeked off a highway that links the is there in capital with russia has been temporarily closed keep an eye on that throughout the afternoon for you will that's the news wrap of the week for marty so far though thanks for watching i'm kevin though in our programs continue right after this break. with this manufactured consent of public wealth. when the

ruling classes project themselves. with the famous. be the one percent. we can all middle of the room say. there was no you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. for new socks product. you get the beat gossip the tabloids by itself the most important news today. the hottest of advertising telling you on the cool enough and such to buy their product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch.

have you noticed whenever you see a commercial for ham on t.v. it's often set in the countryside. with a nice family and a rustic backdrop. and the ham is always pink. very page. and one hundred percent natural of course. looks so tasty it has your mouth watering on the couch. with that's the point. but what if behind is pretty pink and one of the biggest health scandals of our era . in two thousand and fifteen the world health organization listed processed meats as carcinogenic for man. we decided to investigate the ingredients used by the giants of the food industry and infused d.n.a.
