is it. security. according to the foreign ministry. warning the move poses a direct threat. on the way for any relatives of children. speak.

up to twenty five in. the. country. morning here in moscow you're watching international and a very warm welcome to you. u.s. security services are reportedly planning the russian consulate in san francisco which was closed on washington's order. between the two countries russia's foreign ministry says such a threat and the security of russian citizens. the u.s. security service intends to raise the general consulates in san francisco on the second of september including the flats of stuff members residing in the same

building who possess immunity being said we are talking about invasion of the consular offices and the apartments of diplomatic staff with the latter being asked to leave not to stand in the way of the f.b.i. the news of these searches is really an unexpected and forceful further escalation on america's part now russian russia's foreign ministry spokesperson marias a horrible said that this order poses a direct threat to the security of russian citizens because the searches will not be limited to the consulate itself but will also include the apartments of the russian diplomats where they and their families live and all of whom of course have diplomatic immunity now on saturday staff members and their families including children will have to leave their homes for up to twelve hours understandably causing outrage on russia's part now the closure of the consulate in san francisco that contains the departments of the diplomats was only announced on thursday around noon meaning that the staff members and their families including children were given only around thirty six hours to leave their homes and the state

department spokesperson has said that the facilities will be closed and entry or access to the properties will only be granted with the permission of the department of state this diplomatic back and forth has been unfolding between moscow and washington for a while now but to see a disturbing uptick in the blasts just a few days really now russia's foreign minister believes he knows the motives behind the decision coming from the u.s. and says the spot was not started by moscow the sanctions to the story was not by russia it was stilted by the u.s. administrator with the only purpose of the us russian relations and its latest statement the russian foreign ministry stated that this conflict was forced upon them by washington's decisions and while d.c. continues to up the ante both sides still call for bettering relationships but with this latest development which russia described as d.c. ignoring international laws it's unclear what the future will hold moscow did however add today that russia reserves the right to react former u.s. diplomats we talked to believe the plan to search the consulate would be totally

pointless. what are people going to do in your embassadors apartments or in the consulate and send francisco to look for illegal recipes for abortion and of course you're going to have to respond you're going to have to go into our consulate in st petersburg looking for well perhaps too many copies of dr zhivago at the embassy a library this happens that happens usually at a lower level this time however it crap is more serious because it seems to be no. contest between mr putin and mr trump and there's not going to be anything left of interest to find quite frankly if there ever was anything other than confidential diplomatic materials which they're supposed to have there but the thing generally tends to be very tough finely tuned and balanced so that not too much offense is given because frankly things are already far too tense between the two countries

already so there has to be some great care taken when making gestures like this and to me again that means that anyone who's actually planning on raiding diplomatic premises in san francisco has lost their mind. smoke was seen in the past twenty four hours. which did not go unnoticed by the media. on the way for the release of two new arrivals. by their

parents. and children. by their experience there unwilling to speak. the. moment when lunch. is ninety. nine she defaults on long. as the

job. doesn't. have the job and mohamed are among dozens of orphans at a shelter where she has been trying to reunite children with any family members back at home. but i guess the reports from iraq we don't yet know and mohammed's full of stories but whatever they've been through the word tragic likely doesn't do it justice kids refused to speak their words absolute shock they were found by the iraqi military and they decided to take them to a new orphanage in baghdad they're believed to be cousins and believed to be from chechnya but the kids themselves whatever they've been through must have been horrendous we have rarely seen kids in a state of shock because as bad as this but there are only two among dozens perhaps

hundreds of children here in the or in iraq who are suspected to be often the children of isis aligned parents and i've got to say that then. safe here not safe at all isis spilled a lot of blood they caused a lot of suffering and there are people who would see these children come to harm it is incredibly important to get these children out of here to their biological relatives outside there have been happy endings earlier we found five children from russia five children in a baghdad orphanage and odyssey held tracked down their parents i visited the republic of dagestan where we found the grandfather and grandmother of two girls two little girls one four one three and we managed to reunite the.

leaflet hundred. it's uplifting to know that in the ashes of this terrible terrible war amidst all the suffering and all the anguish there is still room for hope for joy for relatives who never thought they'd see each other again for them to reunite and we will continue looking for these lost children and for family members to reunite them with their families abroad and at least let their relatives know that they were alive. now the u.s. led coalition against islamic state has confirmed another sixty one civilian deaths

of likely to have been caused by its air an artillery strikes in iraq and syria. in the month of july the coalition completed the assessment of thirty seven reports resulting in sixty one unintentional civilian deaths the coalition assesses that it is more likely than not at least six hundred and eighty five civilians have been unintentionally killed by coalition strikes since the start of operation inherent resolve meanwhile active military operations either backed or carried out by the us continue in both countries humanitarian organizations have been raising the alarm over the impact on any innocent lives but america's defense secretary claims civilians know the difference between the two sides of the war that they are in the middle of. we are the good guys munitions people on a battlefield know the difference. i saw with my own eyes three houses destroyed and their strike of isis fighters first went there and run away then the jets bombed where they were seventeen

civilians were killed but they would go on the roofs of people's houses and start shooting they wouldn't let people live in this later. this week with all of the civilians still inside. but. we ran from the shelling from the call the we left and the people from islamic state. we were directly targeted by the coalition it was very clear that they would no insurgents in the area there were children playing in the streets and we were carrying water from a tap on how sensitive really in homes were directly targeted. one of the planes bombed us heavily this happened in downtown misled and around i still slaughtering people many were killed and houses were destroyed. coalition shelling targets civilians hit civilians four story houses full of people were bombed all over the neighborhood certainly many have been killed among the my cousin he died

in iraq or in an airstrike. the situation in the syrian city of raka mentioned has been of particular concern to the u.n. according to the organization there are at least twenty thousand civilians still trapped inside the city in august alone the coalition carried out more than a thousand airstrikes there a journalist and political writer dan glazebrook suggests the true scale of civilian suffering in syria and iraq could be far worse. i think it's also likely to be a gross underestimate because we know from we found out in twenty twelve for example that all military age males killed in u.s. airstrikes are not classified by the us military as civilians that automatically excluded from those statistics or if i was walking down the street in iraq and was directly and intentionally blown to pieces by a u.s. airstrike that would not be recorded as a civilian death so there is this these statistics are certainly like to be a gross underestimate but. just three weeks to go now before germany heads to the

polls the authorities are looking at potential threats to the democratic process and it's little surprise that russia once again finds itself in the spotlight as peter all of our reports comfortably ahead in the polls but this election campaign hasn't been a walk in the park for a blue merkel eight years she says she's. not really sure i understand. the kids i'm sure i know i know. i'm glad burkle remains around fifteen points ahead in the polls but that hasn't stopped the security officials from looking for a bogeyman in this election we believe russia is capable of starting descent from asian campaigns in connection with the elections to the bundestag yes we heard about the us election we heard about the french election now it's germany's to his claims are being made that russia is out to influence the vote but this isn't the

first time that we've heard these type of comments from mustn't. the instant of the american intelligence services are convinced that most likely russian intelligence services are behind the attack we have no evidence of course but it is obvious that a similar scenario was possible in germany to. and he's not the only one banging that particular drum. we have seen the alleged influence in the us elections the french elections as well as clear evidence to suggest that these attacks came from russia. there's a crucial hole in claims that russia is attempting to influence the outcome of this year's election in fact we heard the head of germany's interior security service talk about it just a few seconds ago that is there's no evidence no evidence that hacks took place in the past or that there is the intention to carry out hacks in the future in fact the german government has had to come out and admit this. i don't have any

information that these kinds of food can be proved and they have no knowledge of them. germany has been the victim of high profile cyber attack in the past back in twenty fifteen the bundestag systems were the victim of a cyber attack and the finger of blame for that one remains pointed at russia russia was initially blamed for the telecom hack at the end of last year and that has nearly a million people offline across germany in fact though it was the work of a twenty nine year old british man who was doing it at the order of a liberian company in exchange for cash russian president vladimir putin was put on the spot about meddling in elections during the g twenty and hamburg. we did not interfere in the u.s. election so why would we create any problems here we have good relations with germany it's our largest trade and economic partner in europe i'm glad merkel looks

almost to be returned as the chancellor of germany but almost half of germans say they still don't know who they're going to vote for so the next couple of weeks could well prove to be crucial and being able to patrol yourself defend against foreign meddling could well be a vote grabber come september the twenty fourth peace for all of our. lots of stories coming your way here on r.t. international today including britain reportedly has the most islamist extremists in the e.u. this according to a shocking new claim the stories after the break. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is.

the. business to run this country business. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. seems wrong. to shape our. engagement. trail. to look for common ground.

it is often international thanks for joining us the u.k. is home to more islamist extremists than any other country in europe that's according to the counter-terror coordinator he warned that future terror attacks in the area are inevitable and has been looking at why britain tops the list. i was. was both but i was a god was. recurring terrorist attacks in europe and the u.k. have become an unnerving fixture for europe's major cities as it turns out britain is at the top of the leaderboard when it comes to the number of extremists here there is many as twenty five thousand fanatics in britain more than any country in

europe that's according to the use anti-terrorist chief three thousand are considered a direct threat by m i five and five hundred under constant surveillance to compare france with six terrorist attacks in the last two years is said to have seventeen thousand radicals spain the most recent victim of a major terror attack in europe just over five thousand so why is britain europe sixty missed capital where the fight to bring the supposedly good and the highest number of jihadi some twenty five thousand does surprise me a bit because i would have expected france or proportion of belgium to. number given particular the alienation of the muslim communities in both those countries but i know one i'm not surprised when young muslims are quite alienated from her society and that's growing of research the impact of what britain itself has done and we should remember britain has been next the united states the main program for satanists in the various wars we have seen around the middle east the thirty five

deaths caused by terrorist attacks in britain this year in westminster manchester and london bridge were carried out by perpetrators on the radar of the security services yet despite that awareness those terrorist attacks were to avoided and more are expected to happen. we are going to suffer more attacks the group's propaganda no longer calls so much for people to travel to the caliphate but to launch attacks in their places of origin or of residence even on a small scale with homemade weapons across europe while some perpetrators were known to the authorities others appeared to be leading ordinary lives and were even described as good guys this raises the question of just how many so-called good guys are totally off the radar or are currently in the process of being radicalized twenty five thousand people the security services can monitor that number of people every twenty four hours some of those attacks we've seen have been one wolf for tanks it's very difficult if an individual or even to sneeze small number of people

plan something that was just simply wanted to get a hold of a vehicle getting hold of naives it's very difficult to pick that up so if the security services can't guarantee the safety of citizens who can the u.s. extended a european travel alert for americans this week making it clear that europe and britain are not the safest places to go and if this is you're going to r.t. london. earlier we spoke to an expert on the financing of terrorism loretta napoleoni a she believes european states still lack the lines of cooperation. it is impossible to probe tag any european regional or state one hundred percent because that is the nature of you know the challenge that we're facing though in europe there are no border there some people can move and work freely from one country to another there is not a system in place where you actually can check the references so that you can make

sure there were people are telling you what you read in their c.v. is actually real i mean we're talking about. a continent here there are you knows so many of you but we're talking about four. million peebles leaving you know we did in the european continent it is easy to sleep through the bureaucracy if you know how to do it we need an approach which is a long term approach. the united kingdom is no higher risk than any other of the european countries we need this whole city a positive approach and corporation that really well we need which we don't have at european level at all. venezuela's newly created constituent assembly is demanding a probe into the country's opposition over its alleged lobbying for u.s.

sanctions against president my daughter's government the country has been rocked by a wave of probe and government protests throughout the year and the opposition branded a dictator supposedly gathering around his supporters but the government warns those who act against venezuela's national interests will be labeled as traitors and want to hear spoken exclusively with the head of the venezuelan constituent assembly they'll see what rico is things washington isn't interested in the government's attempts to unite the country. even if so let's take a minute the venezuelan has become for the us a kind of an obsession and it's not the first time the same happened during bush's tenure and back then the usa got no where it was the same during obama's time and they got nowhere again and now sadly president donald trump has not paid attention to president maduro as readiness to cooperate by diplomatic means such corporation would respect the sovereignty of both countries i meant they were not less

important political forces that call for military intervention into the domestic affairs of their own country must be condemned their actions are actually criminal those are put forward such demands betray their country political forces that demand a blockade of their country that would affect all its citizens betray the values of the republic i open pose the question imagine that the opposition party in any european country see friends called for the usa for her example spain or germany to intervene militarily in the times to overthrow the government in office or likewise imagine the us opposition to the administration of donald trump the leader of the empire asked for military intervention into the domestic affairs of the country in any country of the world this would be perceived as a treasonous crime. the us media training tone in their coverage of the key left wing group. in the wake of this recent violent clashes with far right organizations it's all star in debate over rising politically motivated violence in

america as reports. after charlottesville mainstream media portrayed them as brave counter protesters challenging the fascist hate and terror both sides today became violent we see it on the menu i'm sure you know now but answer for our people who go in they try to quit. back from these guys they were there protesting hate in america but now it seems that mainstream media has discovered that they too are capable of violence and members of the far left are using violence to take your mask off because you have a history of beating people and hiding behind that mask in their midst was a sometimes very violent group of protesters that call themselves they were up to no good i can tell you they were simply here looking for

a fight they were castigating donald trump were talking about both sides in charlottesville and now they are talking about both sides themselves you very intentionally chose to be ambiguous all by mr president please where to begin you might as well start with the president painting these white nationalist protesters as a real victims of a violent left wing movement this was not many sides this is one side it is white supremacy so what happened here did and suddenly transform itself from being an innocent group of anti racists to becoming a violent group of free speech crushers the mainstream media had it's is more it you want to resist heard. it's all about trump whatever they whatever however you can phrase this well eventually they're realizing that as you say this out that dog that that one did work so they had to realize it had to say something eventually that no but this was not spontaneous this was not right this was deliberate and

this is organized and choreographed by this group that we now finally it's gone from hash tag status to media recognized that this isn't. one member wearing a mosque to conceal her identity told us that bad reputation is a deliberate move. well i think because of what is in the people who populate anti-fascist resistance they have to they have to convey a negative image to maintain ratings and to continue to project the status quo and to make sure that they don't remove the comfort of their viewers because when they lose that they lose money and of course the captain sonny with money there's always a problem. joining us i fall for your world news we are back in about half an hour .
