you know wooden right to. your. balance this out to more russian speaking children rescued from territory with their families in russia has been supporting a campaign to find the youngsters relatives back home. the spanish government seeks to prosecute hundreds of pro independence mayors in the rest of regional capital olia ahead of a referendum. on the book hillary clinton's new memoir outlines who and what she thinks cost of the chance to be the u.s. president.

i just hear moscow very good afternoon for me kevin knowing you're watching r.t. international are starting with the story of two children who've been reunited with their relatives here in russia after being rescued from territory which was on the control in iraq it's believed the youngsters immediate families were killed in the fighting there here as a channel we've launched a campaign called bring them home to try to help the authorities trace the orphans relations. check out these guys out. there were found in mosul is proving really difficult to get information about the partly because they're still too traumatized to speak about what they've been through but it is thought that the boy was rescued from a basement where he had with his mother two brothers and sister and it's also thought that he was the only survivor. in a baghdad all from age where they arrived two weeks ago.

so. that. to be a moment. please most of the boy. i knew tonight in the. nation. well as we heard the children are back in russia they'll soon be reunited with their relatives jacqueline vogel was at the airport when they arrived. both children were clearly traumatized clinging to the adults there finally bringing them home a little usually kept touching her leg and at one point she lifted up her current 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 falling. or lines father died separately klein was in a basement with his mother two brothers and his sister he was the only one who survived 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 for ideas and there is going to be a happy ending they were shown pictures of their relatives they recognize them and will shortly be reunited. so we'll keep track of the progress also and choose to add another two children arrived to the baghdad orphanage after they were rescued from the iraqi city of tal afar that was recently liberated from the terrorists.

coming up us then the last meal pop my mom. for you. was not. just a little bit. because he was said lloyd want to.

all those seven hundred mayors of spain's restive region of catalonia face prosecution by the national government for voicing their support for next month's independence referendum. remember that when a citizen has a problem with justice just one system was a problem but one seven hundred twelve have a problem with justice it's just as the has the problem in this case spanish justice and not the some one hundred twelve because this has never been seen in europe at least in democratic you everybody. this is a great surprise this has never happened here 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 as a referendum. the spanish prosecutor's office is announced now that it is going to seize any printed material relating to the election along with the ballot boxes authorities are also granted permission to take action against any individuals or groups promoting the referendum organizations found to support the leave campaign and are also regarded as unlawful and furthermore anyone found guilty could face up to eight years in prison alongside a twenty year ban from public office earlier we saw him ask other ruses people voiced their desire to separate from spain they say that this referendum is going to go ahead regardless and if the result is a yes that cuts alone it will look to proclaim independence within forty eight hours one cattle we spoke to says he is ready to to face prosecution if needs be. there's a freedom there's 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 of both

democracy and supporting this act of the most closely the referendum could be could be a trick out of it. i believe in purely in democracy and why 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 to do that india and everyone will realize that what we need is common sense when it is. one when it is to try to calm things down. by respecting and result by a respected. free will of the people. nearly a year after hillary clinton lost the u.s. presidential election she still somewhat preoccupied with why she was being so has a new book called what happened to ecosystem defeat global trumpet she throws more

than a few accusations of people countries and organizations and she says cost her that election is a washington correspondents america. 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 blame forces that were working in twenty sixteen russian wiki leaks press i inherit nothing from the democratic party bernie's not a democrat jim tolley's letter my primary opponent and a lot of his supporters the sexism and a massage. resentment the stereotype. a lot of people didn't want to hear my plans . 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 julia songe barack obama and of course the flattery put. 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 as secretary of state there is no classified materials 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 her swansong. samir hahn r.t. washington d.c. . in the book clinton to present to a character from a fantasy t.v. hit game of thrones which the social community than could of course resist of taking up all. the show it's a cutesy. like the religious zealots. shame shame. on us so we're back to the. she's very politically minded and the quest is to stay in control no matter. what that

means to her. now having said all this why am i in two minds that you might ask. did you make another mistake sure so to lose the election without any of the other tinge to what i will sit down at. work half of drops of borders into what i call the basket of deplorable. everyone in this case. isn't it is likely you're saying that there's there's nothing you're going to do differently as a way to try to win over his supporters i am i had and let's start from that premise for losing the faith of. their head the people who think i care.

how can you say whether syria in the next fifteen minutes will tell you but the turkey president riling is nato allies off to buying weapons from russia will tell you why i may be said to do it among our stories.

well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. we can all middle of the room. present they don't want to turkey islam has concerns over the purchase of a russian defense system he said that from now on turkey would take control of its

own security. they went crazy because we made the s. four hundred agreement what were we supposed to do wait 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 is no other way according to the manufacturers the s four hundred eighty targets at the time with a range of around four hundred kilometers the deals proving to be a worry though 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. to note though that germany is the leading member of nato of course has restricted sales to to he and that decision could well have been the factor in the country's choice now is the speculation and this we spoke to say ankara has been

left with little choice but to shop around week it has ruffled feathers why turkey has burned this is very simple turkey had experienced several military embargoed baidu nicest of america. at the. top or. through turkey to reach 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 fairest of all what turkey is doing search for five ethnic asian or for defense needs and the gulf war first and the second proved once again that turkey feels under what happens on the youth on borders and. once again to get already. 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 speak david cleave as the president and government as professor of attorney has to show some restraint give and some stability in order for those embargoes to be lifted it doesn't make any

sense if turkey by think now done it is their problem it is it is not at their once again i underline this. misunderstanding 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 a number one partners security it cannot you can be dealing weapons with a country that is not friendly to the us. just a minute. or so. you cannot make promises because some of these are not like an american not this is our namor. sweden is conducting its biggest military drill in more than twenty years on an island in the baltic sea it's a go francis and they are go on why then this neutral nation thinks it needs such a large scale that. 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. border. he added and that you and i think some camps seventy don't smell what has the whole . economy at them nothing good books that you. i.

and not just any exercise but one designed to deal with a quote a larger sophisticated opponent that one will approach from the east nineteen thousand participants just from sweden alone as well as military forces from eight other countries have joined these drills called arora seventeen and you guessed it the united states is also there the united states with their allies 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 loci swedish resort jewel of gotland with its sandy beaches an 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 is that about perhaps stockholm taunting a thread that doesn't really exist as sweden's favorite album once sang that's the

name of the game at least when it comes to russia media france and thiago r.t. . but the serious side of this the swedish police we spoke to believe that the country does race becomes a dangerously militarized because of its ties with nato. people are upset with the military agreement 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. if you will between two thousand and ten thousand is not really the question i would say that military exercise of the not make so make of it 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 there's 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 a lot of irons in the so-called fire as well as taking part of the aurora drills the u.s. is also building up its presence in poland to with more than a thousand military vehicles including nearly two hundred tanks in an entire infantry division as part of the existing nato force in eastern europe the u.s. general heading up the european deployment says in fact that all that's in response to drills which start today between russia and belarus adding that a deal is needed to allow the free movement of troops across europe something kind of similar to the use open borders going to agreement that would then allow u.s. troops to deploy on nato members territories crucially without the country's permission but only five e.u. members first for a set to back that idea peace activist. believes that europe will be wrong anyway to think further militarization will secure peace. if europe wants to

have war games regularly and take a kind of threatening posture towards russia or feels that that showing rattling favors is going to bring security and peace i think that's wrong nato of course is really headed out 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 greece with the nation's mission sometimes go along i think there are many things that have interfered with some of the original sovereignty is not 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.

another race related scandal in the u.s. this time a british conductor has been fired for stooges festival in the state of oregon for mocking the actions of his friend an african-american tenor over the singer himself says the joke was innocent he's been victimized and i'm very upset about it it was an innocent joke that has been entirely taken out of context and from the deep south i'm asked you of to make fun of my southern accent just as i often make fun of his british accent the back story here it's understood a woman overheard the two friends conversation then she reported it after that matthew holes contract with the university of oregon mr mineta the spot the fact he's been the artistic director of its music festival since twenty fourteen his dismissals provoked outrage online. ah the law and.

the. pressure on the festival organizers now than to reinstate goals is growing with other musicians rallying to support ten original mobley phases friends career those going to suffer after being branded a racist political satirist i mean horowitz says that the would be racist as lost its meaning and power through will be used in these days the reality is that this social justice crusade that we've been seeing over the past few years has been eating its own where are we as a society you know it's stories like this and it's the use of language like this which essentially denuded all meaning from the word racist they've hollowed out the power of that word and the implications of that are massive and most notably when the biggest implications is that when you're really trying to call out racists for truly being racist that doesn't have any meaning the more doesn't have any power

anymore it's the irony is that is the left has become patronizing to the black community it's the left who in fact has become the race is not the right i think that's what's so ironic as entire episode and as distasteful truly truly distasteful. america's national debt has passed the historic twenty trillion dollars but the scene that everyone in the u.s. is even noticed and explains why. the ever increasing u.s. national debt just recently went above the milestone 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 but 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. well more people are joining on tuesday project
