from a far right. california. demonstration. stranded in iraq are reunited with their loved ones in russia after an r.t.a. appeal for their safe return. she saw everything but she says her parents are. otherwise. the top stories of the week iraqi army recounts

far. stronger. than the heavy price for civil. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment developments well welcome to the weekly you're on our team international we start in berkeley california where a controversial far right rally has led to a tense stand off the marchers were vastly outnumbered by a so called rally against hate. that. i. am out here in front of the berkeley civic center in downtown berkeley california near san francisco there is supposed to be a right wing rally under the slogan to say no to marxism and. as you can see the

right wing rally has been completely drowned out in a large counter protest thousands and thousands of people have turned out to counter the right wing and very few are right wing activists are here there's been a huge outpouring of demonstrators here to oppose other right wing and this comes in the aftermath of the violence which took place in charlottesville in charlottesville there was a rally called unite the right in which some all right white nationalist forces were holding a protest there was a counter protest a car was driven into the protesters a person was killed nineteen people were injured donald trump condemned violence on both sides causing anger now as i'm speaking to you at this very moment there are scuffles breaking out just just behind me as you can see some right wing interim supporters come into the crowd and then the crowd assembles and pushes them back now very prominent among the left wing crowded assembled here in downtown berkeley is what they call the black bloc these are people who wear black masks over their faces they are associated with anarchist politics and they are the far left wing

and they have come out into the streets with the emphasis on the idea of writing on the right wing outnumber the protesters that i've spoken to say there are other dialogue be opposed to violence however there are some people who still say that may not be and that the right wing. right wing a lot of different views being expressed here a lot of anger but a lot of folks that just say they're worried about their country there seems to be a lot of division the far left and the far right political violence in the streets a lot of people condemning donald trump so a lot of different messages here in downtown berkeley california. five children from southern russia who were strong did in iraq being reunited with their families it's believed the youngsters were taken to a run by their parents who were killed while fighting for i still are to film the children in a orphanage where they were taken after the liberation of mosul we've also been helping to find their other relatives in russia among the five children or two

sisters deja and for team and what they went through is so heart wrenching. i know never. can. sell. more than i could i said i deserve. so. i still. take that down thankfully. well arty's risler and my i have traveled to dagestan to see how the pair are

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 maillot see through witness of the horrors of i still the loss of their parents and being left all alone into bugged out over the edge. with a lethal c.s. that 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 had these are and she's clearly the leader of the pack it seems the grueling 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 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 another group 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. 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. the iraqi military says it has retaken tell a far one of the last this law makes state strongholds in the country but the u.s. backed offensive has come at a heavy price for civilians. the operation began a week ago i saw militants have dropped bach from tel afar but they still hold

nearby troops brought to us the if now reports from the wrecked. 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 hold based 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 that stock odds with what the people of talent have gone through what it 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 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 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 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 or did you let them do for humanitarian reasons. we have a system we handed 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. meanwhile people in pakistan have been voicing their anger against donald trump after he accused the country of harboring terrorists crowds took to the streets of karachi on sunday chanting death to america tried to make their way to the u.s. consulate the pakistani foreign ministry earlier rejected trump's allegations saying no country in the world has suffered more than pakistan from the scourge of terrorism the statement went on to describe washington stance as disappointing as ignores the enormous sacrifices made by the pakistani nation. well u.s. presidents rebuke all of pakistan came as he announced his new strategy for afghanistan and it marked a complete reversal of his pre-election promise 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 although his administration hinted at a boost in troop numbers in afghanistan from chose to keep the exact figure a secret something called the nato allies to make a greater contribution in afghanistan the president's new plan that provides no time frame or withdrawal and we asked people in afghanistan what they think about the u.s. military presence. 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 is a horse sulu is hit by a drone strike and another man was on his way home when he was killed. during a u.s.

operation into the house and so schoolboy they shot him dead later they said they had killed the taliban fine before they left they blew up the entire building. or we spoke to former u.s. presidential candidate ron paul he told us the american military presence in afghanistan is likely to continue for many years the cup. 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 wasn't to get done in six months or

a year it looks like he's planning to be there for the long term a large extremist group has been destroyed in syria the details of this.

it seems wrong. to me that you get to shape out the attic. and in. the trailer. when some find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. hello again the syrian army by russian air cover has destroyed one of the most activist law mixtape units in syria eight hundred militants were killed in the operation in the euphrates valley a large number of heavy machine guns were destroyed along with tanks and artillery according to the russian defense ministry. well it's part of a wider push to brick isos blockade of the key city of dare resort now the

battle took place near this village which is around ninety kilometers or so from duras or one of the terrorists last strongholds in the country the syrian army is advancing on multiple fronts to lift a three year long siege there on our middle east correspondent paula slayer and bring us the latest. it is very significant basically the taking of deer as all would point to the strategic defeat of islamic state in syria 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. when it was. in the.

arab. world. 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 for 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 work there was. a lot of them feel no one would like to come out. first of course having to do you

know much. for the journey the journey of the morning and here i mean 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 see. no the final chapter of islamic state in syria. the number of deaths from the twin terror attacks in spain ten days ago has risen to sixteen on saturday evening half a million people attended the march of the finds through barcelona with the message we are not afraid but the major focus of the past week has been the ton of reports where the terrorist cell was believed to have been radicalized peter all over traveled there and talked to people who knew the suspects.

radicalizing force they were radicalized by a moroccan born police now believe the revolt 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. but it was here that the terrorists that rammed his truck into crowds of people. lived. the twenty two year old moroccan was gunned down on monday following eight four day manhunt by authorities. why

the. 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. of course. they were behind what happened round here can believe it the seem to be very nice people who will. be probably be roaming around but it's just. always saluted with a whole slew of things that the sale melted into 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 a 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 the 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. have appeared in court who will. see what do we know about the. 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 is 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. 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. well these are the twelve suspected members of the terrorist cell that came from paul all are believed to be from the moroccan community are of a similar age the eldest was twenty two the youngest just seventeen

well radicalized teenagers are not a new phenomenon last year a sixteen year old syrian boy. it was arrested on suspicion all of plotting a bomb attack in the german city of cologne and in part this a fifteen year old boy was arrested on suspicion of plumbing and attack political analyst. islam ism can hide practically anywhere nowadays. this shows us that we have prejudice some of these are radical islamists are others not just people growing in the suburbs of our town and the golden globes outside of the posh city centers we can find them anywhere in europe in society today normally in small villages which would seem religious nobody would talk about it ripples very picturesque village and no chance alone yet even there we have islamist bases i think that this shows how widespread this status movement or trend is in
