well. a small rightwing rally in but the california is swamped by much launch a counter-demonstration. children who had been stranded in iraq are reunited with their loved ones in russia after an appeal for their safe return. she saw everything but she says her parents. why would i tell her otherwise. and then the top stories of the week the iraqi army recap just how far one of the i saw last strongholds but the victory comes at

a heavy price for civilians. watching all t. international with me rosana low could live from moscow thank you for joining us. we start with california where rightwing the pro trump march has led to a tense standoff the activists were walski outnumbered by a so called a rally against hate. hard to. have you go oh ok. five very happy i have four here outside of course the civic center in downtown berkeley california and as you can see around me there's a huge crowd of people calling themselves anti fascist protesters these are people that assemble to calendar a right wing rally that was called for today for this afternoon on the slogan say

no to marxism well these are posts here that object out to a number of the people involved with that recorded right wing rally are considered to be white supremacy and fascism assembled to denounce it especially in the aftermath of charlottesville now it's quite in the first crowd that is assembled here in front of the civic center what an interesting group of folks as you can see behind me here we have a post that generally referred to as the black bloc you know they've got goggles on other covered in black masks on cars coming in and arcus grouping and we've got other people here all with different marxist groups are talking about socialism and communism while we have a lot of people assigned to say things like say no to hate the city of berkeley has actually rallied around the slogan for you and i did against a that's been hanging from all the public buildings it's been displayed in the stores around the city that we've heard so far about three arrests such arrested for having mass to their bases we can see that a lot of interest. but there were some people who were arrested for having mass of their faces and there was an additional individual who was a far right a star was arrested for getting into some kind of scuffle in his ball to patients

with by the left wing protesters he has been arrested now there's a huge number of police on the scene of the civic center was blocked off earlier they were searching anyone who came in to make sure that they didn't have any weapons of any kind this is just one illustration of the ongoing division that continues to take place across the united states now recently there was the incident in charlottesville family charlottesville there was there was a rally in support of the confederate monument called by some white ash and there was a huge counter protest to that as well and. one of the right wingers wrote his car was car in front protesters actually killed one person and nineteen other people were injured in the aftermath of that and donald trump very famously condemned violence on both sides sparking anger and as you can see out here in the streets of berkeley many people are outraged about donald trump linking donald trump and his supporters directly to white supremacist. well for more analysis on this we can now cross live to political analyst and write to charles or tell looked healthy

original gathering was supposedly a rally for president trump and against marxism and yet as we just heard there crowds were chanting nazis off our streets what you make of the way the original march was perceived by the counter protesters. well you know i think we really need to get to the bottom of this not very delighted that your network is diving in here we really need to understand the bona fides of the organizers of the charlottesville rally and now of this one are they truly right wing i know that the person in charlottesville mr kessler up until the election in two thousand and sixteen was an obama supporter and an active member of the occupy movement so i'm highly suspicious of people who are supposedly right wing supposedly getting together to rally and i'm even more suspicious of vast throngs of thugs who show up on a moment's notice as appears to have happened here berkeley who are these people you know and is this manufactured outrage or a true contest of wills if it is

a true contest of wills in this country we settle arguments with words not with fists and you know again to see these these thugs show up in you know close similarly with goggles on hiding their faces move towards violence right away it looks very suspicious to me as if it's been a level of. behind anyway but this is this is all happening in the wake of president trump's handling of charlottesville of course do you think he's doing enough to calm the situation in the country. well i think he's in a very difficult place you know i think berkeley university of california at berkeley i think if donald trump handed out a check for a billion dollars to every professor in every student there to still be riots against donald trump because he's making inequality worse they'd argue i'm joking a little bit but you know i think there is an audience inside the united states in the left leaning campuses berkeley is one of them that will never be satisfied with donald trump no matter what he does. and i also think you know if you go back to

the text of what he said last saturday whatever it was. he did he was quick to condemn both sides we still really don't know exactly what happened there you know on the issue of the guy running over a poor lady who was killed you know there is footage over here that's been circulating united states showing that that car was possibly hit the driver startled by that that action prior to applying to the protesters so you know we really don't yet know exactly what's going on i think it's great american countries to register protest with words as i said but not using says and not whipping people up into a frenzy the way it appears the anti far group may have done here in berkeley how do you see progressing from head charles with lots of people calling for the removal of sudden confederate statue seemingly ever more division where do you see this all going. well you know again i think amongst elites in the rich

cities on the rich campuses the endowed universities there is a core group of people that still cannot understand what happened in the election in november of last year and so they'll be trying every single pretext under the book to foment division and ideally in their view to get rid of trump one way or another when you go across to the heartland when you talk and i'm not in the heartland i'm here in manhattan but when you go across and talk to people in the heartland america is not as divided as the mainstream media would have you see and we are actually the richest large country in the world by a huge order of magnitude both in wealth in terms of income even the very poorest people in america world scale are rich so you know we have a lot that we could do better but you know it's shame on our about mainstream media for trying to turn the presidential race in two thousand and seventeen into some inferno when in reality you know we're jobs are coming back. business conditions look like they're improving we can do a lot better around the world we still have many trouble hotspots that need to be

dealt with but you know there's a lot to recommend itself here in this country and the mainstream media nonetheless is determined to portray this country as being one and create chaos when i don't think it is political analyst i'm right to charles all tell thanks for your insights. five children from southern russia who were stranded in iraq have been reunited with their families it's believed the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents who were killed while fighting for i so auntie filmed them in a baghdad often age after the liberation of mosul and we've also been helping to find the other relatives in russia among the five children a two sisters had deja and fatima. so thirty.

one of them are going to third grade dessert and serve. her third so. i still. expect that dad. artie's ruslana might have traveled to dhaka stunned to see how the pair are adapting to life back home. tears of joy and relief were 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 return to some the melody to witness the chorus of i saw the loss of their parents and being left all alone and to bugger that orphanage.

for their little sister 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 had the asia and she's clearly to leeds of that back it seems to cruising 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 house filled with children's laughter cries plenty of noise and fussing about it takes a while to realise 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 the has to offer his granddaughters there are still many wounds left on here. today under the weather 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 popping it i did it once and she jumped as if she'd had an explosion. and 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 seizures and that seemed 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 nine year old merriam she was injured and very fragile when taken in by the orphanage in baghdad another is allie whose art was among the first to contact us he's only three years old just like sultan more ad who you can see here his relatives say he's already where justing to every day life at home. iraqi military says it has retaken telephone one of the last islamic state strongholds in the country but the u.s. back to fence it has come as a heavy price for civilians. the operation began a week ago i saw militants have dropped back from taliban still hold nearby

territory broadcast jeff reports from the recaptured town. we're at the airport of telephone mia five kilometers from the city itself where the operation to liberate telefon 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 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 sow 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 telephoned 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 california did you fail to catch them what did you let them do for humanitarian reasons. we have a system we handed over to the iraqi government and they handled them till 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 pakistanis have been voicing their anger against donald trump plan story and more coming up. it's. all make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the really close is protect themselves. with the famous. certainly the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. really. really.

welcome there are already. one that's more that. people in pakistan have been denouncing donald trump after a ques the country of hall bring terrorists crowds took to the streets of corruption on saturday chanting death to america and tried to make their way to the u.s. consulate islamabad earlier rejected trump's allegation saying no country in the

world has suffered more than pakistan from the sco to terrorism the statement went on to describe washington stance as disappointing as it ignores the enormous sacrifices made by the pakistani nation. the u.s. president's rebuke of pakistan came as he announced his new strategy for afghanistan and more to 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 trump chose to keep the exact figure secret and he called on nato allies to make a great contribution in afghanistan the president's new plan though provides no time frame for withdrawal we also people in afghanistan what they think about the u.s. military presence. 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 who 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. they shot him dead later they said they had killed the taliban before they left they blew up the entire building. 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 to come. 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. the syrian army banks by russian a couple has destroyed one of the most active islamic state units in syria eight hundred minutes since what killed in the operation in the afraid he's finally a large number of heavy machine guns were destroyed along with tanks and artillery according to the russian defense ministry it's all part of a wide to push the brake on schools blockade of the key city of dera as though the battle took place near this village it's about ninety kilometers from there is so one of the terrorists' last strongholds in the country the syrian army is advancing a multiple fronts to lift

a three year long siege there middle east correspondent paula slit has 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. still in the.

now there is or is a city that islamic states has completely surrounded for the better part of three euros 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 their boss flat out. like them feel no one would like to come out should first of course come to know what to. look for the journey the journey of any 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. the final chapter of islamic state in syria. half a million people attended a peace rally in barcelona on saturday evening marchers held banners with the message i am not afraid in reference to the terrorist attack in the spanish city earlier this month they claimed sixteen lives the probe into the atrocity has been focusing on the small town of rip-off where the terrorist cell was based peter oliver traveled there for r.t. . radicalizing force they were radicalized by a moroccan born police now believe the ripple was at the center of the plot. this small spanish town took to a 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 and 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 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 what happened

around here we can believe it the seem to be very nice people who will. be probably be roaming. chimps ts. saluted with a whole slew of things that the sale melted into 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 as part of a 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. 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. have appeared in court but 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'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 and at the moment the authorities are writing that 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 spain. i'll be back with more of the stories that shape global news over the past seven days in around half an hour's time live from moscow this is r.t. international.

the. coin 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 to be doctors professional you trust the hospital is working and you trust third parties all day long bitcoin 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 the support i like about it i mean wealth comes and goes but watching central banks crawl into their desk and pee themselves and cry that's what i like.
