big business tells. children who are. safe. just to a normal life once again. plus victory at a price the iraqi army says its. last stronghold but human rights groups the fate of civilians in the city of. repeated pledge

to quit afghanistan with. draw locals say no one is safe. as we wrap up the seven stories as reported here first the response we have been running five children from southern russia who were stranded in iraq have now been reunited with their families it's believed the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents who were killed while fighting for. film the children in a baghdad orphanage where they were taken after the liberation of mosul and we've also been helping to find other relatives in. russia among the five children are

two sisters a danger and a team and what they went through is heartbreaking. i know never mom or dad each think. so. more than i could i said i deserve. third so. much guilt. hectic goddamn thing. auntie's for saddam i have traveled to pakistan to see how those two dozen girls

are now adapting to life back home. tears of joy in 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 how to help these children some to some the mullets see through witness the chorus of i still the loss of their parents and being left all alone and to bug out over that. for their little cease to vision fit 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 cruising experience of football's own has made her even stronger for team zero six comfort in the arms of her ground 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. 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 but has to offer his granddaughters there are still many wounds left on healed. and then there's other 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 scheme of.

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 among the other children returning to their families this week was a nine year old mary she was injured and very fragile when taken in by the orphanage in baghdad another is arlie who was among the first to contact us he's only three years old just like you can see here his relatives say he's already readjusting to everyday life. 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. but

operation started a week ago i still militants have dropped back from telefonica but they do still hold nearby territory and i guess they have reports from there. we're at the airport of talent five near 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 go to 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 it 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 will 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've been 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 deliberation is almost 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. did you fail to catch them and did you let them do for humanitarian reasons. we have

a system we hand of all the refugees to the iraqi government and they handle them. still the battle in telephone is far from over for more 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. these are the scenes of unrest you can see behind me this sunday in pakistan's largest city had a rally happening right now against donald trump after he flat out accused their country of harboring terrorists police were forced to block the path of the rally and kharaj which is called death to america as it tried to make its way to the u.s. consulate there president trump laid into pakistan on monday saying it's making the lengthly conflict in neighboring afghanistan worse pakistan swiftly responded to pointing out how the country suffered severely from terrorism itself the foreign

ministry also added the trump statement ignores the sacrifices made by pakistanis in tackling terror. the u.s. leaders skating rebuke of pakistan came as he announced his new strategy for the war in afghanistan and it marks a complete u. turn on his election promise the main idea is that u.s. troops will be staying in the country though is administration hinted at a boost in troop numbers he chose to keep the exact figure the secret also wants nato allies to throw more troops and money into the pot to the president's new plan though provides no time frame for withdrawal signaling a move away from that campaign promise to get boots on the ground out of the country. 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 so you might remember the president had been dismissive of his predecessor barack obama's

approach to the afghan conflict if you had that from called for a speedy withdrawal all condemning the loss of american lives and money we also locals in afghanistan while they thought. the uncrowded you quote you couldn't 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. during a u.s.o. curation into the house and saw a schoolboy they shot him dead later they said they had killed a taliban fine 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 this kind of 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 writing hopes of peace even 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 great peril we have submarines very powerful we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option north korea. 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 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 also former u.s. congressman ron paul about trump's comes to newton's. changes the words that 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 mobile news to update you on this sunday there's hope for syrian civilians india is all with hundreds of eisold militants now out of the picture following a major operation nearby we'll tell you all about that after the break.

coin saul's for trust it's a mathematical formula. think about all the institutions in your life that require trust you trust people on the road are going to be crashing into you doctors professional you trust the hospitals working in a trust third parties all day long but point is the first international currency that doesn't require trust it just requires consensus. every ten minutes the protocol 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 p. themselves and try.

syrian army backed by russian forces has destroyed one of the most active islamic state groups in syria eight hundred militants were killed in the operation in the euphrates valley a large amount of heavy machine gun this would destroy it along with tanks and ultimately weapons that information's come to us from the russian defense ministry . it's part of a wider strategy to break eyesores blockade of the key city of law the battle itself took place to the northwest in this village here but there is or is one of the terrorists' last strongholds in the country in the syrian army is advancing on multiple fronts to lift a three year long siege there is a middle east correspondent paula slayers. it is very significant basically the taking of deer as all would point to the strategic defeat of islamic state in syria at this point on the ground they were major groups belonging to islamic states that

are messing around the city so people message there impartially as they are not going to give up without a fight it follows weeks of fighting between the syrian army that is being assisted by the russian air force and islamic state and in the past few weeks we have witnessed and number of breakthroughs that the syrian army is making against the terrorist organization. the earlier. in the. now there is or is

a city that islamic states has completely surrounded for the better part of three yos there's only a small part of the city that is in the hands of the syrian army and they're completely blockaded there's no way in there's no way out and that's the reality also for residents of the city if you can just imagine that this is a city that is home to some one hundred thousand people and for the last three years this has been their reality they are going to go about their job or their boss. mark willacy i know you would like to know you shouldn't first of course come to know much you know that look for the journey the journey of any army. now the defeat and the kicking out from syria of islamic state is a major challenge and is of course the major goal all. the syrian army at the same time if we look at this particular city if islamic state was able to be defeated here it would be a major significant achievement by the syrian army because essentially islamic

state finds his would be cut off from any kind of other military forces and also from major financial resources and sources for them and so it would signal the final chapter of islamic state in syria. the number of deaths from the twin terror attacks in spain ten days ago has now risen to sixteen a fifty one year old german woman who was injured in slugs from blast in barcelona since died of her injuries in hospital on saturday evening half a million people attended a march of defiance through the city with a message we are not afraid crowds out the anti terror rally we're joined by king felipe but the major focus of the past week has been the town of republic where the terrorist cell was believed to have been radicalized peter all of a troubled her and talk to people who knew the suspect. radicalizing force they were radicalized by a moroccan born police now believe the 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 impossible loner lived. the twenty two year old moroccan was gunned down on monday following it for day manhunt by authorities. why they were. 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 he will. be probably be roaming around but it's just the key to the solution 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 quiet town and is part of the 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. behind. pointed the finger at him and now that's been reiterated by some of those accused of being part of the. have appeared in court who will. see what do we know about the. 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 is understood to have become radicalized in fact he's believed to have spent time with those who plotted and. read the 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 is that his potential weapons of. 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 communities like this could potentially be harboring fatal terrorist cells peter all of. these are the twelve suspected members of the terrorist cell that came from all of believed to be from the moroccan community in or of a similar age the eldest was twenty two the youngest was just seventeen radicalized teenagers are not a new phenomenon in europe of course last year

a sixteen year old syrian was arrested on suspicion of plotting a bomb attack in the german city of cologne and in paris a fifteen year old boy was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack political analyst nicholas berg a bitch says islam is nowadays can hide practically anywhere. this shows us that we have prejudice and who these are radical islamists are others not just people who are going in the suburbs of our town and the dull jobs outside of the posh city centers we can find them anywhere in europe in society today know it in small villages which will seem religious nobody would talk about it ripples very picturesque villages and catalonia and even there we have islamist bases i think that this shows how widespread this is status movement or trend is in east europe today it's much bigger than what people thought and it can be actually anywhere. well that's it for now if you're on facebook or twitter any time this weekend search for all to tell us what you think i'll be back with you next weekend

just. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be close to see what before three in the morning can people get . interested in the waters out. there should. make this manufactured consensus instead of public wealth. when the right wing

closest to protect themselves. in the frame and. listen we don't want. to ignore middle of the roots to. relieve the. same wrong. we're all just don't all. get to say proud just to become educated and gain from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

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 hem is always pink. very pale. 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 used d.n.a. breaks new dates cells into sort of precancerous cells. we discovered that to impede or halt regulations on certain additives food industry lobbies have been working in the shadows for decades. just to understand that the industry is a very late and business so they're very risk averse they're not going to fund a study that is bad for their business it's a thump as. it's just a baby so to speak political to the people. at the heart of this strategy of influence are the scientists who collaborate it needs industry biju for this i reasoned sometimes they should from my time as well as the others call months. and night and sent. and the scientists who are targeted. basically were trying to shoot me down or just.
