here in moscow you're watching r t international live from h.q. this hour with our news review of the week almost starting with this syrian government troops have liberated the eastern city of el my dean from islamic state it is therefore the latest blow to that terror group which is now being steadily pushed from the water one country. i. try. to put this idea. of.

liberation is not the end of the story for people in tears or province who've been living under i still brutality for three years of went to meet two young sisters to get a snapshot of life there for whom the struggle is far from over. meet sally she's five maybe six or perhaps seven she doesn't know and the smog hit the streets home surviving isis's c.g. of the resort was no mean feat so many perished as a result of starvation sickness violence. if. sally is a survivor she has a sister and brother were abandoned by their parents years ago they divorced and left the children to fend for themselves out on land. her home. who are now almost gone on the land

she spends her days begging stealing playing and surviving no easy lot for them in this life bit of it was sony went from home to home to live in the streets they beg for money to stay alive inside today sick for sally bags alone former neighbors who knew their family have taken pity on the kids and have looks out for them but it's not easy. i wanted to take her in and she kept escaping i sent people to look for her but she never stays in one place long show escapes. well there. are no. sally's sister all she has left since her brother died of starvation we found the older girl at

the end of this gloomy bullet riddled cargill is a room with broken windows in it leaves a young girl with only flies bloodstain mattresses for company. about a month ago sagitta who doesn't remember her age was brought in with a head injury when she fell she damaged an implant that siphons away the fluid different people tell different versions some say the full was accidental others attempted suicide but i believe the fluids keep building and there will be consequences she will lose her sight hearing and the ability to swallow much of the pressure on her bringing has grown. in hospital i don't know she'll find new cures in dead as order as we were filming a nice a shell landed just

a few hundred meters away sagitta needs to get to damascus to survive but lacking identification relatives and trapped in a war zone it's difficult to see how that's possible. sagitta doesn't get so many visitors but there is one vigil person who always makes a smile that. if left alone sagitta begins to scream and cry she needs people the story has spread and good. barrett institution is what i miss for a woman once came to the hospital and heard the screaming she followed it and found the girl since then she's been coming two or three times a day to care for her to wash or to feed her she never knew this girl bushra whose

own daughter is disabled is not rich or middle class she's poor but a kind heart goes a long long way. that are the end of everything my friend and i can do we will do for her as well dr abdul majid up to law everything are right up to the moment when she stands up and can see. there is cause for optimism cited as suffering has touched a chord action is being taken to get the girls out of bed as order but for now all they really have the side from promises and p.t. is each other or i guess. from that as or syria. this last week the cattle and president suspended a declaration of independence and called for dialogue with madrid the move then prompted the spanish prime minister that clarification on whether independence in fact officially been declared or not. that's not popular at all we asked for

a mandate to declare catalonia an independent state. responsibly with all due respect i ask parliament to suspend the declaration of independence so that in the coming weeks we can undertake a dialogue but a good deal for the moment we formally require the catalan government to confirm if it has declared independence of catalonia after the deliberate confusion created over whether it has come into effect. meantime people in catalonia appear less frustrated by the confusion many as you can see with visibly affected while listening to the president's announcement and deeply disappointed by the end of it as for madrid well it's given the capital and president until monday tomorrow to clarify the situation and he's got three days after that to drop the declaration if it is made so a crunch week coming up again and this is the churkin is in barcelona covering it all for us. it was

that it was you could see. through their reach it was. that it is necessary to show rebellion i do not know if independence is the solution with this it demonstrates this half of the population is tied up with this independence will hurt both spade in catalonia it took many years to make the country whole and to divide it just like that is absurd this particular square there are screens being set up where no doubt this area is going to be kept by people in the hours to come preparing to listen to this crucial if the problem is right there and we do know that because one leaders in their meeting with parliamentarians in the head of the preparation of what's going to happen and people here despite this being a pro independence gathering really there's no certainty as of right now what

exactly he's going to say. you know. she. is an issue. i mean i think he should have declared independence because now he says he wants dielike but good morning and has asked the spanish government like seventeen times and every time the doors have been closed so i believe today he would finally declare rates and i'm a bit disappointed he stated he didn't take the step forward that everybody wanted we understand he wife's dialogue but catalonia has spoken and he wanted independence. on the map i'm still very happy because it means soon what he said. it will be carried out and it looks like in the end catalonia will finally be

independent after so long that's what we need a european only i want independence i don't want anything to do with spain and sisters wanted it or forced to be spanish only if i ever can say that my nationality is catalan i'll be very happy that i know where the iconic french show must clarify some of the tell me right now i. was feeling this way and joining streets that are out here thousands of. covered boxing from bags of rocks and what is this where they're still continuing to publish. their. lives. it's not just the other this is that. all of these people are coming out to speak in support of the think that's loaded with a major crisis it's a great. reach the president. really has violated the law. because it was.

thank. you. thank. you for the news from the week that was coming up a potential collusion between the new york times and you choose was revealed earlier this week that online sting by the project veritas group is going to reputation for uncovering uncomfortable truths in the media is some of the latest on the cover video very rare cases will. try to make up for something isn't in the treatment. is believed this petty according to his linked in profile he has you tube's brandon diversity curation lead in the video even elaborate somehow you tube sometimes intervenes to change trending videos. very rare but in those cases you use something with intervention to make sure that we.

do. encourage the thing to be basically they provide in some cases ninety percent of what a lot of people receive as knows it's just not you tube or you think of a picture of a doc playing the piano this is the pipeline of new and if somebody can affect what news makes that pipe like you have in essence and effectively affected the transportation to and the transmission of data all over the world well you tube manager wasn't the only person exposed in the project veritas video it also featured nicholas dudek he's partly an audience strategy editor for the new york times who's also thought to be a friend of parties due to claims that he previously worked on the election campaigns of both hillary clinton and barack obama is on camera saying he benefits from his relationship with you tube stuff and calls himself a so-called gatekeeper for the new york times deciding what gets coverage and what

doesn't. people shops it's like it's a recurrence of. your treasures out about it we don't know it's just because prince you're probably right. i mean i can see what that's what's great something nice i like you should just give you i. knew you were interesting what we got in touch with you tube for reaction i can say so far they're still not called back to us we did hear about them from the new york times i can tell you about that in a statement the newspaper admitted dudek had apparently violated his ethics standards but it also went on to say he exaggerated the influence he had at the company and the communications director project merits ascs spoke to two believes the so-called gate keeping in the media is a huge concern. certain political entities certain media entities

rise to the top of the pecking order there is collusion between the social media networks and the major media outlets what we did was we caught it we caught them admitting it we caught them being candid on undercover video admitting what most people want most americans and what most people around the world strongly suspect was the case anyway but just couldn't prove we've just proved that. mr dudek kind of the star of these first two videos own was pretty clear about having worked for two presidential campaigns and wanted to continue his mission working for the new york times lots of interesting is in the new york times statement they didn't rebut the accuracy of what we said we kind of suspected that if they well here's a low level guy but they did they said he's a junior player but they didn't rebut the accuracy of what we put out they're just making excuses. for one of the worst the seats the mainstream media does and now major social media does is gate keeping it's their role it's not necessary stopping

most depressing story lines that they don't want to hear don't want you to hear they've got the ability to do a lot more than they used to in the startup phase of the internet and we're in new york and new york times and you tube aren't bad the bastard child of that relationship is fake news. donald trump threatened to pull the rug from under the landmark around nuclear deal this week it infuriated everyone involved in a lot of people not happy his reasons other reactions next on this channel. what we want is to put an end to nuclear testing and then to move towards a world free of nuclear weapons and to do that we have to bring countries who seek

or who out of this ambition to understand that their national security doesn't depend on the possession of nuclear weapons. manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. we can all middle of the room see. the real news. the big story from last week and go into this next one to the historic nuclear agreement with iran very much in jeopardy of the president trump announced friday

that he won't certify to runs compliance for that deal stark go it alone move may be it defies it ministration and america's allies it's also despite the global nuclear watchdog saying that iran in fact has almost its end of the bargain. we cannot and will not make this certification a red is not living up to the spirit of the deal the deal was hammered out under the obama administration in twenty fifteen along with six world powers that followed nine years of talks and introduced sanctions relief in exchange for caps on iran's nuclear program now the us secretary of state spring trying to rally european allies over translators decision but so far they've mostly reacted angrily . are all over it in your region the reverse order the president of the united states as many posts not this one it is not

a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it we cannot afford as international community as europe for sure to dismantle and nuclear agreement that is working and delivering especially now this is a difficult and in our view dangerous signal the agreement with iran has shown for the first time that it's possible to prevent war through negotiations the destruction of this agreement would mean that others around the world no longer rely on such treaties it's therefore a danger that goes far beyond a round of what we in europe germany france the u.k. and the e.u. we stand by this agreement were granted we want to preserve the agreement after trump's announcement the deal is now in the hands of the us congress which has sixty days to decide whether or not to reimpose sanctions against iran that will effectively end the agreement another scenario is to come up with new legislation to try and amend the agreement but it highly unlikely that other parties will agree

to the new conditions there's a third option too and that could be for the president to bypass congress altogether and to terminate it with an executive order to try to take a look at why drum might want to quit the deal. so donald trump's got a problem with what's known as iran's nuclear deal ok his not a fan of iran in the first place he's confident it's still a nest for terrorists but is that a good enough reason to basically throw the compromise agreement that required so much diplomatic effort to the floor i mean when it comes to sticking to the deal terms the world agrees to iran is behaving so why the assumption the deals in jeopardy because of washington the house foreign affairs committee chairman explains the tehran regime clearly sees itself as a movement one that uses ideology and violence to destabilize its neighbors to threaten others just for the record that was an

american official talking about someone else promoting ideology and views using violence in other countries to get what they want isn't that a us thing like the golden rule of their foreign policy that we've seen in action so many times by acting now we are opposing our values protecting our interests and advancing the cause of peace we will secure our nation protect our freedom and help others to find freedom of the right the burdens of leadership are often heavy. but the world's a better place because we have borne them what a historic background looks like mr royce might as well replace the words to iran regime with the names of american presidents they were the ones who love promoting ideology i.e. democracy elsewhere yeah interventions are exactly what i'm talking about the.

times newspaper claims british politicians are doing the kremlin's bidding by participating in programmes it names prominent lawmakers indeed who have paid omes shows such as going underground and news thing it gives the exact member of their appearances and goes into the fees reportedly paid to them to the times claims it's all part of moscow's attempt on going to extend its reach within british politics

when a boy here in london has been taking a closer look at that. this is one of britain's most read newspapers and one of the leading edge a tauriel in the london times today happens to be all about this place r t it's called helping parents in and it names and shames all the politicians that appear on the channel it's not although there's another article that elaborates on can sons about the extent of kremlin influence here in westminster and whereas talking to the media is normally considered an expression of freedom of speech here in the u.k. these articles appear to suggest that the politicians talking to r.t. are greedy and even treacherous well to talk about this more i'm going to gate crash the studio going underground host afshin rattansi hate action you talked to

quite a few of the politicians. in this article do you think that it's a fair assessment and why do they come on your show shorty journalism isn't it the murdoch times i mean to my knowledge they haven't gone door to difficult with little going underground which is name checked in this story m.p.'s politicians from all around the world from all policies in britain come on going underground because they can they know they will look at issues in depth and allow them to actually speak action one of the articles here lists a lot of the labor m.p.'s that came on the show and on the news channel and a select few of the conservative ones can you explain that to an international audience i think this obviously indicates the dog line here they're trying to attack media that is. funded by the russian government by saying it is allowed to jeremy corbin the channel has been attacked in the past but does this feel like

a whole new level this naming and. aiming of politicians do you think it can be hard if you get guests on the show as a result i think strangely it's been an uphill battle right at the beginning it was tough but actually i think more and more politicians are becoming used to the idea that it is here to stay and it's going to allow additions to speak about real issues not about the sound bite culture of celebrity and all the rest of it the british view is you still in this country almost met with as they say that's the way some of the main new stories look these last seven days from international here in moscow and. thanks for watching.

the city of luxury and free but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man from his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept. tiny house on a parking space is not a solution. to someone wanted touring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all they're a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. why
