and what are the real side effects and why. was this terminally alter what i did. on a cocktail of lethal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's saying. two more russian speaking children whose parents were killed fighting for i still in iraq have been brought by the safety and russia party's been backing a campaign to find the youngsters families by. the spanish government seeks to prosecute hundreds of probably dependents mayors in the rest of region of catalonia ahead of october's referendum somewhere that's going to go. and the turkish president rounds out his nato allies after they raise concerns over an arms deal with russia.

good morning kevin oh it's nine am thursday morning here in moscow right now review children around the world happy days go in good thanks for choosing r.t. international first the the story of two children from families that traveled to iraq to join the islamic state terror group but have now been returned back to russia to be reunited to their relatives and hopefully some safety it's believed the children's immediate families have been killed in fighting here on this channel we've launched a campaign called bring them home to help authorities trace the orphans relatives in russia these radwan and how. they were found in mosul on territory once controlled by it's hard to get any real information about them is there to traumatize still to speak but it is thought that was rescued from a basement where he hid with his mom is two brothers and sister he was the only survivor jacqueline vogue next than met the youngsters as they arrived. moscow.

both children were clearly traumatized clinging to the adults their finally bringing them home a little hut usually kept touching her leg and at one point she lifted up her pant leg and you could see bandages and scars from when she was injured during her time in mosul now we learned a little bit more of young of long story was probably around nine years old he told those that he was with apparently that he was in the basement for a long period of time in mosul surrounded by other kids in terrible conditions and that it was constantly hearing the sounds of bombs fault. lines father died separately klein was in a basement with his mother two brothers and his sister he was the only one who survived the antibodies or were found in mosul and then sent to an orphanage in baghdad for just a few weeks ago we filmed them both were too traumatized really to be able to speak it was clear the both of them had been injured and they needed to find their way home.

because if you know that. to be a woman. out there. that. could you show me. a news night to get. a nice moment. now that video was all part of our bring them home campaign we aired it multiple times hoping to find their relatives and get them home sadly these two are just a few among many many children for no apparent list and alone far far away from home but we have learned that at least four and there is going to be a happy ending they were shown pictures of their relatives they recognize them and will shortly be reunited. will choose to another two children arrived to the

baghdad wolf mucho if they were rescued from the iraqi city of tal afar that was recently liberated from the terrorists we went there to meet those old. coming up us then the last meal pop my mom. for you. was not. just a little bit. going because it was said lloyd want to.

more than seven hundred mayors in spain's restive region of catalonia face prosecution by the national government for voicing their support for next month's independence referendum. but remember that when a citizen has a problem with justice just one system was the problem of the one seven hundred twelve problem with justice it's just as there has the problem is in this case the

spanish justice system and not the some one hundred twelve because this has never been seen in europe at least in democratic you're going to everybody. this is a great surprise this has never happened here thought more than seven hundred meson united this is why they have called this meeting our unanimous position is to act together that our priority is to work to guarantee is a referendum well this been brewing for a long time but it seems to be coming to a head despite the prosecutor's office has announced that it will seize any printed material relating to the election along with the ballot boxes authorities are also granted permission to engage with any individuals or groups promoting said referendum organizations found to support this leave campaign and are regarded as unlawful in fact anyone found guilty could face up to eight years in prison alongside a twenty year ban from public office earlier we saw mass gatherings as people voiced their desire to separate from spain a number less they say the referendum will go ahead regardless and if the result is

a yes catalonia will look to proclaim independence within forty eight hours one couple of may we spoke to says he's ready to face prosecution. this is a trade and is about democracy is about the right to decide for follow people and i think it's really really difficult at the well if how letting people a vote in democracy and supporting this act of they might proceed the referendum could be could be a trick out of it as a crime i believe in purely in democracy in a way i want. to protect to defend the democratic rights of our people and if i have to explain this to the provincial prosecutor i want to have any problem pulled out in the end everyone everyone will realize that what we need is common sense when it is study and one when it is to try to calm things down. by respecting the result and by

respecting. free will of the people. reporting it's this morning president of turkey islam's netas concerns over the purchase of a russian defense system he said that from now want he would take control of its own security. they went crazy because we made the s. four hundred agreement but we supposed to do for them we've taken precautions and will continue to take precautions when it comes to our security and will fail for ourselves we'll take matters into our own hands there's no other way according to the manufacturers the s four hundred system can shoot up to eighty targets at a time with a range of about four hundred kilometers the deal those proven to be a worry for nato allies they say it's incompatible with the alliance systems already in place in turkey. a nato interoperable missile defense system remains the best option to defend turkey from the full range of threats in its region it

pulled to note though the background to the story that germany a leading member of nato forces restricted sales to that decision may have been a factor in the country's choice now analysts we spoke to say and korea has been left with little choice in fact but to shop around even if it's ruffling feathers why turkey is burning this is a very simple turkey had experienced several military embargoed by deny fizzle from america. at the. top for. through turkey which turkey needs a lot in order for five. to defend the borders turkey and ankara have to decide which side they're on and i think over the past three years the united states has been along with nato allies big supporter of the turkish government as long as you know supporting their security and stability but i think the recent government and you know erdogan. behavior has become

a little bit volatile and unstable for the region and i think his idea of defying the west reaching agreement to buy weapons from the from russia does generate concerns and even though he is right he has the right to decide from what country he will buy weapons he also has to understand he's part of an alliance and that he has to respect certain rules and also regulations that go beyond the fact that he has the right to buy weapons from any country that he chooses russia is not the alternative to nato authorized to fall what turkey is doing is now search for biographic ational for defense needs and the gulf war first and the second proved once again the turkey feels under what happens on the youth on borders and. once again to get this feeling. that thirteen european contracts because of political reasons can. bring can put. the embargo

towards turkey it is it is not fair from turkish press picked it leave as the present government has before us all but attorney has to show some restraint and give and some stability in order for those embargoes to be lifted it doesn't make any sense if turkey by think now then it is their problem it is not time that they are once again i underline this. misunderstand is america remains for turkey number one security partner so russia is now. a possible new partner for certain defense systems yes but if that is true if the us is the number one partners security it cannot you can be dealing weapons with a country that is not friendly to the us. just a minute the russians all never saw. it come not make promises because somebody not like an american not this is all remember. hillary clinton is laying out her

account of why she lost the us presidential election and a new book is called what she would calls a stunning defeat to double trouble and throws more than a few accusations of people countries mobilizations that she says the election is a washington correspondent sure. looks like hillary clinton is back in the headlines promoting her memoirs and giving interviews left and right to discuss what exactly went wrong in two thousand and sixteen when she suffered an unexpected defeat to reality to start on a truck. and it seems like she's compiled quite the list of exactly who and what to play hillary rodham clinton spent the last ten months trying to figure out why she is the president of the united states forces that were worth in two thousand and sixteen russian wiki leaks our press i inherit nothing from the democratic party bernie's not a democrat jim ptolemy's letter my primary opponent and

a lot of his supporters the sexism and the massaging the resentment the stereotype . a lot of people didn't want to hear my plan. for an even more detailed explanation of hillary clinton has just released a new book entitled what happened in the book clinton managed to blame everyone and everything under the sun including jill stein threw in a song obama and of course. mentioning him and russia about three hundred thirty three times clinton even leveled attacks at senator bernie sanders for impugning her character but here's what else happened the e-mail scandal when it turned out clinton lied about handling classified information. secretary of state there is no classified material our investigation found that there was classified information so it was not true let's not forget the constant shaming of supporters you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of

deplorable zx and then there was a major strategic miscalculation when she chose not to campaign in the rust belt losing the democratic fire wall that obama won in two thousand and eight and two thousand and twelve the same rust belt voters bernie sanders won over during the primaries hillary clinton says she doesn't plan to run for president again but she's definitely making sure she steals the spotlight with response on. our to washington d.c. so with the city on the way why a movie about the lost russians is dividing audiences a boy sweden is conducting its biggest ever war games in almost a quarter of a century.

local blogs selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that will. produce for the tell you that what we gossip the public let's. talk about advertising tell me you are not full enough to buy their product. that we along with all the one.

moscow time a movie about the russian tsar nicholas the second is whipped up a storm of protest before it even hit the cinema screens its erotic scenes at scenes of outrage people who want it banned but that spots a row over free speech ok partridge has more. a film about the love story between sonic alice the second and the battery now has unleashed a standoff in russia and it hasn't even yet been released. yesterday they can't say. it yet. the film is called matilda after matilda. the real life love the last saw before he married but protests against the film have hit the internet the streets and even

call even in playing a tire back on sky says it offends orthodox believers as it exposes the personal life of bizarre he's been made a saint by the russian orthodox church you can't touch saints you can show them having sex because that offends the feelings of believers this is not censorship this is about the violation of people's rights opposition has turned violent protesters set fire to cars parked near the office of the director's lawyer threats to burn cinemas that show matilda have resulted in two chains counseling it before release prompting condemnation by russia's culture minister vladimir putin skiing to calm down the hysteria any attempts on the ground to ban the release of the film any attempts to pressure private or municipal cinema as a pure lawlessness and censorship that's directly against the russian constitution and with the film's russian premiere still more than a month away the director himself is stunned by the strength of feeling especially

as the public haven't even seen it you know all this discussion came as a surprise to me when i first started to work on it i could never believe something like this could happen the absurdity of the situation is that those who are protesting against the film haven't actually seen it no one has seen the film yet missiles or is it the for. first film to court controversy martin scorsese's last temptation of christ elicited cries of blasphemy and bans for depicting a sexual jesus wrong how is the da vinci code was also boycotted for proposing jesus and mary magdalene had a daughter and the catholic church passed it up but it's not just religious issues that while steven spielberg's e.t. was forbidden to kids in part of and in a via due to its negative portrayal of adults really had to go home that maybe those who oppose these artistic interpretation should remember that the best way to make a film successful is to furnish the protesters could be more effective by staying

away and leave defining opinions to the film critic. sweden is conducting its biggest military drill in more than twenty years on an island in the baltic sea is my girlfriend says santiago on why the neutral nation thinks it needs such a large scale exercise there is a video out there on sweden that peaceful beautiful land full of green fields good food and very generous social programs. but actually this video turns into something hard and heavy right away turns out it's promoting the largest military exercise of the past two decades. of war. no. i.

i. i. like. and not just any exercise but one designed to do. they quote a larger sophisticated opponent the one that will approach from the east nine hundred thousand participants just from sweden alone as well as military forces from eight other countries have joined these drills called our rora seventeen and you guessed it the united states is also there the united states. and partners are doing this this is normal business for us that's going to be our posture normal business we train all the term we work soldiers work always to be at the highest level of preparation not alert but being prepared that's that's our job that's what

you would expect us to be ready just like you expect the fire department to be ready at the hospital to be reading very nice business as usual but not for sweden it's getting back its mandatory military draft which was cancelled mid two thousand and two but now in twenty thousand at least four thousand swedes will get the call all in the swedish military is now going to enjoy a nice growth in military spending for the next few years even the low key swedish resort jewel of gotland with its sandy beaches and intriguing limestone has been introduced to the swedish military they've been stationed there since two thousand and sixteen and still to no avail no attacks have come from the east but wait a second there was a russian spy submarine alert a few years ago the scandinavian military went full swing into a large scale search mission in the end it all turned out to be nothing but a fishing boat seriously so now this week's military are staging these massive

drills to make sure they can protect the nation from an attack which they themselves deem i quote unlikely seems like an overreaction i wonder what's that about perhaps stockholm taunting a thread that doesn't really exist new knows well the swedish precept of this is supposed to leave the country risk becoming dangerously militarized for real because of its ties with nato. people are upset with the military dream because it's one more step towards militarization of our foreign politics and we're adding one extra very dangerous component which is nato there's no scale that is necessary according to me there. will be twenty thousand to ten thousand is not really the question i would say that military exercise of do not make so make or make us safer i think that we are going in the wrong direction i would say that. the largest lobbyist group for need to in sweden i mean this is

a lot of money to be made from armaments there's a lot of money to be made from getting closer to nato there's a lot of political careers that can be done from playing on the threat as well as taking part in the role of drills the u.s. is also building up its presence of poland to with more than a thousand military vehicles including two hundred tanks and an entire infantry division as part of the existing nato force in eastern europe if the u.s. general heading up the european deployment says it's in response to drills which start today between russia and by the roots adding that it's a deal needed here to allow the free movement of troops across europe similar kind of thing to the use open borders shang going to greenland but for the military that would allow u.s. units to deploy on nato members territories without the country's permission crucially but only five e.u. members are set to back that particular idea at the moment peace activist tells the rest but believes that europe will be wrong to think that further militarization

will secure a peace. if europe wants to have games regularly and take a kind of threatening posture towards russia or feels that the showing rattling sabers is going to bring security and peace i think that's wrong nato of course is really headed up very much by the u.s. so if nato wants to do something that means generally that it's us wants to do something and if they want to move troops quickly across europe i'm not sure that every european country even necessarily agrees with the mission missions sometimes go along i think there are many things that have interfered with some of the original sovereignty your europe some of them have been perhaps positive many would see the european union as certainly a positive step but militarized form of unification is not good.

for the history in the making it seems america's national debt is past the historic twenty trillion dollars but it seems not everyone in the u.s. as he notes that explains why. the ever increasing u.s. national debt just recently went above done by a stone of twenty trillion dollars the final big chunk came as part of a fifteen billion dollar loan to pay for hurricane relief expenses now normally this new spike in national debt would have been announced to the public on this billboard on the side of the i.r.s. building in manhattan and like we've done many times here on r.t. we make that debt clock center stage in our reporting. economists predict that the student debt bubble will burst sometime in the near future the job market is drying up and wages are going down here in midtown manhattan is possibly the best you america's ugliest economic state. but the debt clock billboard which used to flash

the sobering statistics to new yorkers that were passing by and was a kind of iconic part of the new york city skyline is now gone though there is talk of putting it up in another location all the wars foreign aid subsidies and social programs still being billed to the u.s. taxpayers the billboard may be gone but the rising debt and the creditors clamoring to be paid certainly have not and while the display is no longer up showing the figures at this point the debt is still rising and the clock is still ticking cable mopp and artsy new york. believe are the true face book or sites don't call me kevin owen very good warning from the hearable.

here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us is it actually just pull along on the only show i go out of my way to find you know what we want to do is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of hard to be americans do the same. apparently better than the flu vaccines and see people you've never heard of low or down to the night. president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. because seems to say you don't need to spend money to make money they just want to be extraction extracting money like parasites used to be the model america pursued around the world but america south america asia south east asia oh they were just extract well take money take my take money but they ran out of countries i would put up with that so now they're doing it themselves. it is one of the basic

instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did i took a lying down just i came to god and meant that the text i came and it was. many lives have been broken excessive the banks got you into trouble and only big bankers come. in they go on the banks but i just didn't think. the lost money was a back. people see no future that face would have become ill you do to your relationship breaks down and become a casualty is dead tonight. or is the way those actually come to bed you know would like to ditch them from so much risk and.

greetings and salutations is a very interesting vote took place this week on capitol hill hawk watchers a vote critically important i quickly important vote that sadly you probably won't hear much about you see buried behind all the hullabaloo over hillary clinton's new do it yourself book on how to lose elections and not get blamed for it and bernie sanders instilling more for your and big pharma and the health insurance industry with medicare for all than a kid seeing a killer clown holding a red balloon in the street gutter was sen rand paul's attempt on wednesday to inspire congress to put an end to the tory is a us or national defense authorization act that has been used for the last sixteen years now to justify any and all u.s. military adventures overseas by the a perpetrated by our last two presidents sadly our military.
