it is more than any other country in the european. news headlines live from moscow thanks for joining us this is international. us security services are reportedly planning the russian consulate in san francisco which was closed on washington's order as part of the ongoing diplomatic route between the two countries russia's foreign ministry says such searches pose a threat to the safety of diplomats and their families. the u.s. security service intends to raid the general consummating san francisco and some ten by the second including the flats of staff members residing in the same building who possess immunity from being so we are talking about invasion of the consular offices in the apartments of the diplomatic stuff with the latter being
4:02 am
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 saturdays 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 tune 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 now 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
4:03 am
of state this diplomatic back and forth has been unfolding between moscow and washington for a while now but i see a disturbing uptick in the last 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 this. 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 with 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. let's live now to william mallinson a former british diplomat and professor at italy's marconi university thanks for joining us on the program today mr balance and just into my first question very quickly the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman is or whatever she says the u.s.
4:04 am
plans to search the russian consulate in san francisco and diplomats poppins violates international law is that an accurate statement. very accurate if they dare to do it it violates if you have a convention it's unprecedented for any country to indulge in such an irrational and hysterical and frankly dangerous behavior but it remains to be seen whether they will actually dare to go that far hasn't quite yet happened actually i hope it won't but let's remember that this all goes right back to the clinton obama and what people call the deep state military industrial congressional complex policy of attacking trump in order to attack an improvement in u.s. russia relations that is a very actually horribly rational policy behind the hysteria and paranoia which is
4:05 am
being created mainly as a distraction because you have to remember that. fiasco is that at the moment there's syria and the us it was part of the us establishment wish to distract attention from that so it's to a large extent the audience ease american they want to get the mindset of the average american into hysterical and see russia. and position they doing their best let's remember that this was started by the us and not by russia is obama's and clinton's last minute. act expelling thirty five russian diplomats etc and it also shows i think that the the people i've described as a deep state cannot think beyond the the cold war because you have to remember that at the moment with the dollar under threat and with that with the dollar being
4:06 am
almost a religion with these people and the brics meeting which is slowly pulling out of the dollar. that that is all part. of of what is going on that mr mansour story i'm sorry to jumping in but just just just to get to talk to you but i have got such little time here so your ultimately saying that this whole this potential raid this potential raid of the russian consulate in san francisco and the search of the diplomats families apartments is actually basically a distraction to help to undermine trumps position to improve relations with russia but you know is it possible the diplomatic route could escalate further we've just got a brand new russian ambassador to america just arriving in washington is there anything he can do to try and stop this tit for tat you can suggest the u.s. stops beating the bear you can suggest that the russian never began this whole cheryl and he can support some of trump's earlier statements about improving
4:07 am
relations i think that's all he can do but i think the world must realize that a dying empire like the u.s. is exploding whereas the u.s.s.r. imploded it didn't explode it imploded so sue me maybe the u.s. should learn as it loses power to implode rather than exploit and create such danger in the world so there's a new ambassador is going to have to be very very very diplomatic and very rational and reasonable and stress o.-port duties to improve relations she only thing i think that he can do new peace exceeds to some extent and that trump will have the guts to support these words which she may you never know william alanson a former british diplomat and professor at marconi university joining us here on the program thank you very much thank you noble as well but the. now a search is underway for the families of two young new arrivals at
4:08 am
a baghdad orphanage and mohammed lost their parents who are thought to a fled to iraq to join i saw fighters the children are so traumatized by their experience they're unwilling to speak. the. moment you put the money. in the. ninety. nine she default on all. of the joy.
4:09 am
and mohammed are among dozens of all friends at a shelter where he has been trying to reunite children with any family members back at home correspondent but i guess the ever ports 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 is as bad as this but there are only two among dozens perhaps
4:10 am
hundreds of children here in iraq in iraq who are suspected to be orphans the children of isis alive and parents and. i've gotta say that they're not 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 the 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 r.t. help track 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 them.
4:11 am
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're alive. this is r.t. international and the u.s. led coalition against islamic state has confirmed another sixty one civilian deaths
4:12 am
are likely to have being caused by continued air and 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. you know while active military operations are the back door carried out by the us continue in both countries a humanitarian organizations have been raising the alarm over the impact on innocent lives but america's defense secretary believes that locals understand the ring is and they're fighting that. we are the good guys and munition people on a battlefield know the difference. i saw with my own eyes three houses destroyed and they're striking isis fighters first went there and run away then the jets bombed where they were seventeen
4:13 am
civilians were killed but they would go on the roofs of people's houses and start shooting they wouldn't let people live. with the civilians still inside. that's what. we ran from the shelling from the coalition we left and the people from islamic state if 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 house and civilly in homes were directly targeted. the planes bombed us heavily this happened in downtown misled and around isobel slaughtering people many were killed and houses were destroyed. the 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 in an airstrike the u.n.
4:14 am
estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in iraq every day the situation in the syrian city of raka mention just that is of particular concern to the u.n. thousands of civilians are still trapped between isis cruelty and intense coalition strikes or nicholas davies who has written extensively on the invasion of iraq suggests the number of civilian deaths there and in neighboring syria a much higher than the pentagon claims. what is coming from the coalition are not in fact estimates of total civilian casualties what they are is a very limited number of individual incidents that have been reported and so therefore the u.s. so authorities have had to address them and conduct some sort of investigation and this is this is very very limited this is the way the u.s. has conducted warfare throughout its so-called war on terror and it is
4:15 am
rely on the media to accept these completely absurd. numbers that it puts out as a serious estimate of the numbers of civilians being killed this is you know. this is absurd it. over here in the russian capital many more stories still to come your way including. the most islamist extremists in the e.u. that is according to a shocking new claim story after the break. manufactured consent to public wealth. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. in the final.
4:16 am
week nor middle of the room sick. can be taken into the afterlife that's a lot of people from the future are now arriving in the present like he's able to pay for his very into the present using but he doesn't talk about it much because he's already considered to be quite a strange man but you know that's the truth. joining us here for your news on r.t. the u.k.
4:17 am
is home to more islamist extremists than any other e.u. country that is according to the blocs counter-terror coordinator he also warned that future terror attacks in europe are inevitable r.t. correspondent. has been looking at why britain tops the list. i was. both but i was right was. the. 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
4:18 am
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 that when young muslims are quite alienated from for 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 various wars we have seen around the middle east the thirty five deaths caused by terrorist attacks in britain this year in westminster
4:19 am
manchester and london bridge were carried out by perpetrators on the radar of the security services yet despite that awareness those terrorist attacks were until voided 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 two three small number of people plan something that was just simply wanted to get a hold of
4:20 am
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 when you spoke to an expert on the financing of terrorism loretta napoleoni she believes europe's open borders means it's impossible to know just who's going where. it is impossible to probe text 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 are 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.
4:21 am
is actually real i mean we're talking about half a continent here there are you know so many of you are we're talking about four. million peebles leaving you know within 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 or. the united kingdom is no higher risk than any other of the european countries or we need this positive or a positive approach and corporation that really will win it which we don't ted but at european level at all. with just three weeks to go now before germany heads to the polls your thord he said looking at potential threats to the democratic process and it's little surprise that russia once again finds itself inside the spotlight
4:22 am
is pretty warm. in the polls but this election campaign has been a walk in the park for a glimmer. who remains around fifteen points ahead in the polls but that hasn't stopped security officials from. looking for a bogey man 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 turn is 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. the instant of the american intelligence services are convinced that most likely russian intelligence
4:23 am
services are behind the attack we have no evidence of course but it is obvious that a similar scenario was possible in germany too 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 hikes in the future in fact the german government has had to come out and admit this yet is that. they said i don't have any information that these kinds of houla geishas can be proved and they have no knowledge of them. germany has been the victim of high profile cyber attack
4:24 am
in the past 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 at the end of last year and 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 amberg. we did not interfere in the u.s. elections so why would we created the problems here we have good relations with germany it's our largest trade and economic partner in europe. looks almost nailed to be returned as the chancellor of germany almost hala say they still don't know who they're going to vote for so the next couple of weeks could well prove to be
4:25 am
crucial and being able to patrol yourself as the defend against foreign meddling could well be a vote grabber come september the twenty fourth piece for all of. us media are changing tone in their coverage of the far left group and in the wake of its recent violent clashes with the far right organization. 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 a 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 that suggests a shift in how groups like viewed in the american media now traded and dangerous just a short time ago that they were heroic. in charlottesville. back then during
4:26 am
a right wing rally a neo nazi plowed his car into a crowd of leftwing counter protesters killing one of them in his initial statement donald trump condemning violence on bigotry on many sides. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred bigotry and violence on many sites on many sites it's been going on for a long time in our country this was not many sides this is one side it is a white supremacist and therefore are people who go and they try to push back on these guys very intentionally chose to be ambiguous off by mr president please. i won by wearing a mask to conceal her identity told us the change in how to force a cupboard in the us media is intentional well i think the cause of what is in the people who populate and she says just resistance to the past it has to come
