washington. it was meant to run its. business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done for. us but forces in syria say islamic state has finally been driven out of its last remaining stronghold but months of fighting is reduced. to really. britain's foreign secretary slams labor party m.p.'s for appearing on our very own channel despite a dozen of his own party members even his father being guests. we hear from schoolchildren in afghanistan who say they were injured when u.s. troops opened fire after rocks were thrown at it from the.
4:01 am
good morning welcome this is r.t. live from moscow with me kevin all in this wednesday morning so it's good to have you company review chin didn't run the world let me take you through the next thirty minutes of news that we're starting with this us about forces in syria have declared a victory over islamic state in iraq it is big news the months long battle ended with syrian democratic forces raising flags over isis last bastion in that city. police. well the american claim that racket is now fully under their control but the cabinet to this is the u.s. led coalition is less optimistic saying the city's only been ninety percent clear divisive. we are aware of the reports that isis has been defeated in iraq or
4:02 am
however clearance operations continue and we expect our syrian democratic force partners to hit pockets of resistance as the final parts of the city is cleared the back story here just to recap for you i still took care as it's defect of capital in twenty fourteen the first major military offensive against the terrorist added two years after that it was one syria's sixth largest city but now after all this it's been left chatted. the u.n. estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in a car every day and. there is. constant air raids from the coalition
4:03 am
so they can shoot civilian casualties are. large and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians. that the planes bombed us heavily this happens in downtown bend around i saw the slaughtering people there many were killed and houses were destroyed in a. coalition shelling targets civilians hit civilians four story houses full of people from all over the neighborhood certainly many have been killed among them my cousin died in rocket strike. this is a double edged sword this story ok i still but the international charity save the children is warning that huge effort is still needed to end the humanitarian crisis the destruction you can see in the pictures here was caused by either i saw in
4:04 am
militia shelling all the u.s. led coalition's support with me now. for. some specialist on international human rights laws new work to the u.n. on post conflict recovery situations is to say there's a double edged sword to tell our viewers just don't ok the sky your voice will maybe out but look at the death and destruction in having to do that and now trying to pick up the pieces again as it stands at the moment how would you assess the success or otherwise of the operation to liberate iraq. well i think strategically it's very very important because we have to remember that you know isis had controlled an expansive territory. of people of around ten million a number and from that territory and from the taxes are tributes that it could extract basically for through extortion and by controlling
4:05 am
oil resources and using the resources of the people in the area was able to fund. its activities now having lost huge amount of territory and having mosul iraq almost fall and that is a huge blow to its its prestige its legitimacy its claim to legitimacy rather and that is certainly a major blow against isis but i think you are really correct reports in the united states is also you know cautioning correctly that you know isis may be down but it's not out and even militarily there's going to be some mopping up operations etc that are that are necessary on the practical side of this without interruption months we'll talk about the humanitarian side on the proud to call side rock is largely in ruins who's going to rebuild this is the international community going to step in and restore it should they. well it's going to be
4:06 am
very difficult to rebuild and week you know we can engage in full reconstruction when the. you know syria is still under huge civil war problems and you can't rebuild while there's still war so there will have to be a good political settlement and and peace before you can actually start engaging in heavy duty reconstruction it's going to have to be a huge collaborative effort on the part of the international community as a whole and let's hope that the political will which so far i haven't seen that to gauge in full reconstruction and rebuilding. you know comes about because you know this kind of situation where you have countries and territories where there is a very very weak government this is where terrorism thrives this is where people say well what do i have to lose i'll join one of these terrorist groups or you know
4:07 am
the. there's a lack of law and law enforcement and that's how isis fighters and other terrorist groups thrive in these kind of fragile state situations no one ever said this was going to be easy liberating this place but it's come at a terrible humanitarian cost could it be done any differently. you know it's very easy for for any of us outside the conflict not on the front lines not even in the command situation to to second guess and i wouldn't go down that road myself it's a tragic situation but war is tragic and you know i certainly one can say that humanitarian corridors could have perhaps been better negotiated and. but you know as i say it's very easy to second guess. you know sitting you know in a in and out on those chairs at least it's a different difficult difficult thing to actually carry out as
4:08 am
a military commander and as a as a matter of professor professor lawson go international human rights legal specialist pleasure in the program thanks very much. the british foreign secretary scott on the attack of opposition labor and peace for appearing on our channel in fact he's going to first call it a scandal no less. if you study the output of russia today and indeed if you consider the state of the of the prince in russia this present it is an absolute it is russia today it is a scandal it is a scandal that members of the party or because it are continuing to validate the date lead you to meet. that kind of propaganda by doing all those programmes strong words from boris johnson that his repeated use of the word scandal as he talks about. me on the floor of the house of commons to choose day he talked
4:09 am
about labor members of parliament pairing on our team but of course members of his own party have appeared regularly and frequently and. since the channel began r.t. has responded to those comments editor in chief margarita simonyan called johnson's remarks but no all she said that he was using his own freedom of speech to bully his colleagues for exercising that that's of course is a pretty awkward conversation it's an awkward conversation that he may be having with his own father because stanley johnson has appeared himself on r.t. he was on one of our shows going underground talking about his. book and he was asked by host action returns the whether any of the characters in his book were based on either of his sons i do notice how you take sides in this book what does
4:10 am
this mean or take kerry stokes the a bully a former mayor of london how he was absolutely living up to the expectations people have of him wowing the crowds where every went he could be serious too if it was absolutely necessary who is this former mayor of london character a little. bit where we all will face reality sometimes we have to be we have to be serious well you are right. i said absolutely nothing will be that happy but there is a who is this doc i'm not saying that that particular character is a million miles away from another member of my family whom you have. mentioned today though he didn't confine his comments to r.t. he took aim at russia as a hole in his inimitable fashion russians have been up to all sorts of mischief in many countries but so far we can hear it ok for any direct russian cyber attacks on this country so he doesn't have a specific instance in mind but boris johnson has in the past hinted at why he
4:11 am
thinks russians are so mischievous he says they do it because they can well as laura mentioned a number of conservative party m.p.'s have indeed appeared here on r t quite happily over the years in the past two years alone fifteen of them have come to talk to us including former energy and climate change minister charles andrey also assistant government with my free and there was a smaller parties also frequent guests here as well and we're delighted to see if we are some of them what they thought the end of the british foreign secretary his remarks. boris johnson came out with a lot of nonsense as usual eloquent shit winder bagheri he said after the break in the b.b.c. rapidly and she breaks it down by just now he praises the b.b.c. and blames the russians the only consistent thing about bars is his total inconsistency we have the right to watch as many. many channels as we can and we
4:12 am
should be on as many channels as we can and we should up to the public to make up their minds what they believe if i was r t i'd be thinkin he has some cheap publicity that's boris johnson he's not a c.d.s. figure anymore every time you and he's most the biggest and baddest scandal is that he's a former secretary of the united kingdom he. doesn't talk about the issue that's in front of him and starts to talk about anything else to take the place of to deflect that we from what is meant be talking about to try and make sure that people do understand we seeing the new order a number of conservative m.p.'s have been on here in the. number of labor m.p.'s have been no one under other parties there's been no difference at all except for the fact that very often in our tea we get more tame to explain the position of the do and some of the. u.s. troops in afghanistan have allegedly fired at school children injuring two boys the shots were apparently fired after children threw rocks at a military vehicle. now from our
4:13 am
this morning i want to go to school when i entered the school some of a classmate sticks stones and threw them at us equals they opened fire in return i injured my leg my friend was also injured now i'm in hospital. i came to school and i was playing there when the u.s. convoy passed by some of the boys threw stones at it then the u.s. forces started shooting. the. understand that the children threw stones at the u.s. tanks the don't know any better because their children but the u.s. troops are educated they came here to rebuild their country instead the open fire at children. we set up a car knowledge of this was not the kind of reaction you expect they should have contacted the school administration and this is not good we condemn this incident
4:14 am
the government shouldn't just agave this case. to try to get more of a handle of what's going on here we've been in touch with nato command in afghanistan to try to clarify what happened as yet we've had no response by the united states entered afghanistan back in two thousand and then believing the ruling taliban was sheltering osama bin laden was a long time but that he was wanted then of course over the nine eleven attacks but no sixteen years old with bin laden long out of the picture the americans are still there and the casualties from that foreign troop presence a still mounting. he says i mean for me i was praying in my house and when i saw american helicopters i told my wife and children to save themselves after that i just heard a loud noise and then my house was destroyed six people were wounded including women and children. they destroy our house and our family members wife the
4:15 am
americans are killing our women and children every day in afghanistan and they just say sorry it was a mistake. sitting in a room together and suddenly we had the massive and bondmen to fall village and i was injured. when the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew about my face i ran in here and came out on the hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone what i think of the sixteen years of being in afghanistan it's quite obvious the strategy has not worked whether politically speaking are tactically speaking and then they look at military operations i think one can say that whatever they do it backfires that there's not been proper accountability apart from
4:16 am
a few soldiers that have been arrested on behavior like this but by and large there's always a legitimate excuse to come up with saying blaming someone else rather than themselves. it's eleven fifty in the morning thanks for watching out international live from moscow after the break we're at the world youth festival in sochi in a minute or two were some of the foreign visitors that tell us they've been enjoying their week in russia. seems wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
4:17 am
here's what people have been saying about redacted and i just. feel the show i go out of my way to. really pack the. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of redacted tonight president of the world bank take. seriously send us an e-mail. again seems that muslim public holidays could eventually be recognized in some parts of germany it's not i did being floated by the german interior minister to potentially clued islamic festivals to the public holiday calendar other
4:18 am
politicians. though one senior m.p. from the christian social union which is the chancellor system party has said it's completely the question the interior minister laid to play down the idea saying he's been misinterpreted just a few people in berlin what they thought of the plan. i have absolutely no problem with it it's fine germany is a country open to something like that yeah it's been met i am just not sure about that if i moved to another country they wouldn't just establish holidays for things close to my heart i have mixed feelings about it. i think it is difficult to establish a muslim holiday in germany as it will challenge the tolerance of many people even if they are not christians this could boost right wing ideology i think we should wait at least twenty five years until the societies acceptance level is strong enough well that was a quick straw poll on the street but it seems the latest official survey suggests seven to ten germans would reject the introduction of islamic holidays in the
4:19 am
country and they should expect the issues exposed some pretty sharp divisions to. the reality is this that. merkel's party the christian social democrats are being forced into leading a really important debate which is what does integration look like angela merkel's attitude on this is going to be that we have an enlightened german society which talks about political is a freedoms of people to live as they want people to freedoms for people to worship and live free and to be integrated in a democratic a secular society what you've got is a gym a politician capitulating once again to make minorities hundreds of different religions you can have hundreds of different holidays at the end of the day christian culture christian holidays and stock capitulated to islam minorities europe as we see it today and it's going to continue to be is going to be more integrated i think the difficulty is that we've seen with the rise of the
4:20 am
alternative for deutschland in the recent parliamentary elections the far right near nasty the fascist the anti immigrant the people who want to see a breakdown in a multicultural society of having different factions at each other's throats but you want to segregate people die it's not on and it is a christian country if you're muslim holidays go to a muslim country go to a christian holiday you expect to abide by the christian rules if i went to a muslim country and expect to abide by the muslim moves there soon they wouldn't give me a christian holiday so let's get it right christian culture christian values you abide by the christian bank holidays and laws i think creating a plural democratic free society where people are free to live and express their beliefs as they see fit is really really important we don't want to have offices and workplaces and schools where muslim jewish and hindu kids can have time off because those holidays are not protected i visit the only thing germany is talking about anybody argue against is really to create it in prehistoric. well what you
4:21 am
want the segregation it's quite clear you want segregation you want to segregate people into a religious belief and. they go away celebrate their own religious holidays what we want is a fully integrated national holiday like we want to be on as our national day for england a full integrated national hold it for everybody we don't want to segregate people like you do we lawfully closely followed. also in britain the head of the country's domestic intelligence service is warning that the threat of terrorism is precedented level now the statement from andrew parker came during a speech to journalist specializing in security it's clear that we're contending with an intense u.k. terrorist threat from islam mystic stream ists that threat is multi-dimensional evolving rapidly and operating at a scale and pace we've not seen before the director general of m i five is issued warnings like this before he in july twenty sixth seen he said in an interview that
4:22 am
a terror attack in the u.k. was a matter of when not if a few months later he stressed once again that there would be terrorist attacks in the u.k. and with the u.k. hit by several atrocities as history has shown us it seems his previous warnings were indeed accurate there's another side to this as well a rise in hate crime in the u.k. according to the home office that's up by a record twenty nine percent compared to twenty fifteen as you can see on the graph of the shoulder the spike was triggered around the time of the referendum and it's been repeatedly fueled after each terror attack that's hit the u.k. .
4:23 am
moods of former home office counter-terrorism advisory believes the vicious circle has been created here i recall a story from a colleague of mine who ran a counter extremism program in london in some of the most deprived areas of islam to be exact and he said that. some of the boys that he was. expected to conduct the radicalize had been affected because of hate crime their mothers had been sworn. members had been spotted that they had suffered hate crime in this case and that just made them more angry and they were seeking a sense of belonging with the extremists or the radicals sort of speak so yeah it does have a knock on effect and this is the issue. now let me go but one of the top stories we're talking about today the british foreign secretary boris johnson is going on
4:24 am
the attack at opposition labor m.p.'s for appearing on our channel calling it a scandal let's get some thoughts from during the kaczynski one of the very people that boris johnson's got this site daniels a british conservative m.p. said must be even worse for he's appeared on this channel quite happy of these double hello again as always delighted to see you boris won't be though the very fact you willingly came onto this channel is nothing less than scandalous in his view your thoughts on the. well what concerns me more than the foreign secretaries comments are the comments of lord adonis a labor peer who yesterday described. as being vile. when politicians refused to engage with the media when politicians castigated and denigrate any media of any kind no matter how polarizing the differences we have with them then that is a dangerous situation and politicians have to be held to account by all media by
4:25 am
domestic media and international media there is no doubt in my mind that we have hugely polarizing differences of opinion with the russian government and also with our t. and the russian perspective but it is extremely important that politicians of all colors in the united kingdom continue to engage with russia and to continue to engage in appear on t.v. and that is what really worries me where politicians ought to engage in debate rather than denigrating the media and let me just say this for the record i have come across a lot of very highly ethical reporters on r.t. many of whom are british citizens many of whom have spent many years studying journalism and their integrity is just as important to them as the integrity of b.b.c. journalists and i'm very very disappointed with these comments well on despite many
4:26 am
years the b.b.c. and the will save us before coming here i mean it is basically accuse you of validating propaganda your thoughts on that. well look interesting leigh although politically our relations with russia are very poor. irrespective of the there is a lot of positive progress in many different spheres there are more and more contacts in the scientific cultural research educational spears between our two countries and what i'm starting to see is that despite the political problems other entities on both sides are starting to engage in the constructive way but is very very important. i think it's very very important in these very difficult international times particularly when tensions are growing that we continue to engage and appear on each other's programs so i don't i don't
4:27 am
accept this criticism by the way we are criticized a lot for appearing on our t.v. both in our local both in british media and also by colleagues who serve you as home and you know we have to engage just so our viewers can understand have you have your hands are tired of you've been pressured to come on air what's it like as someone who is invited to come on the channel your side. well anybody who we are there's a very good question anybody who challenges and criticize as i think of that i think they should pause and take a moment to actually look at the interviews to look at the sort of questions that we've received as british policy politicians to look at the sort of context of what we are discussing we are evaluating and giving our opinions to russian and international viewers i've always found the interview to the interviewing techniques and practices to be very sensible and professional and that is why i
4:28 am
continue to appear on this program you're not alone boris is father's also been in r.t.e. u.k. as well i wonder how that's going to go down as a family conversation rather than its dinner table on sunday. that's all i can say is there are many british parliamentarians who are with me here at an international conference and some petersburg i just spoke to lord morris who is a former attorney general he's appeared on r.t. other colleagues have appeared on r.t. and i think the consensus is that it is important to continue to engage with russian counterpart of whatever chance that we get we all have a responsibility in the judy to try to lower tensions between our two countries a final really quick thought when you got thirty seconds left as we have in the program are you going to be swayed away and people like you from coming on to the program now because of what boris is at the say on. no not at all and i've discussed this with colleagues. as long as he continues to operate and has
4:29 am
a license within the united kingdom i and other politicians will continue to engage with them as we do with c.n.n. as we do with the for your french equivalent and many many other international channels thank you for your time today we always appreciate seeing it done the kaczynski conservative party m.p. thanks for being on r.t. international one is kevin owen thanks to you thank you for being with us as well so we didn't have time to go to such an tell you but that youth festival we'll have more time for it next hour but because we had done a kocinski on the line we thought we wanted to bring you that for me for now maybe see again is thirty minutes thank you for watching out international as well. manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the final.

4:48 am
a few hours later the city comes to a standstill. the island experiences a power outage. closes at the university canceled. by the way. i think. the public electric company is the business with the biggest debt in puerto rico. power outages have affected rural areas. you.
4:49 am

4:57 am
nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene these batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send a be a pro and they don't want to pay it so the waiting decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they won't have to pay a. call for help and get the middle finger to move used to model is. delayed and i hope you don't.

well. past that event. oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh damn one hundred dogs may not only be tasty but also. the relationship between kids it was suggested no proof and a fairly strong one there were two thousand right out some involved in the study it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientist. do chemicals that down the appetizing pink color really increase the risk of cancer and i chose a means on known to use damage in the last test is it
4:59 am
a she had skepticism they do not believe that that risk is is true by independent scientists so did the need industry did you for this i received some compensation for my time as well as the others why is that i me too happy definitely to like what we've been doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on seeing the flop you are only here and do not go back there. is a big business against health. this is starting to show us. all stand in safety. and take your new to the game this is how it works not the economy. is built around corporation corporations run washington washington.

5:01 am
midday wednesday the eighteenth of october i'm kevin i mean we could live marty's moscow h.q. with this latest thirty minute live news update first the u.s. forces in syria have declared a victory over islamic state in iraq it's big news claiming that city is now fully under their control the latest pictures in queue from what's become of rocket now a virtual ghost city as you can see after all of this the destruction here was either caused by ice still shelling all the u.s. led coalition's support either way agencies are warning that a huge effort is still needed to end the humanitarian crisis very much ongoing there while the international coalition says the city too is not still fully liberated it's saying only ninety percent clear of the solicits so. we are aware of the reports that isis has been defeated in iraq or however clear it's
5:02 am
operations continue and we expect our syrian democratic force partners to hit pockets of resistance as the final parts of the city is clear just to remind you the potted history here i still took rocker as it's defacto capital in twenty fourteen and the first major military offensive against the terrorists then started two years after that once syria's six largest city it was in its day it's now been left shattered. the u.n. estimates that's an average of twenty seven people are being killed in iraq every day and. there is. constant air raids from the coalition
5:03 am
so they can shoot civilian casualties are. at large and they seem to be no real escape for these civilians. one of the planes bombed us heavily this happens in downtown and the round i saw was slaughtering people many were killed and houses were destroyed in a coalition shelling targets civilians hit civilians four story houses full of people all over the neighborhood certainly many have been killed among them my cousin he died in iraq in an asteroid there's so many stories to be told the beirut based journalist martin j. told us there is a long road to recovery for iraq and now. certainly there have been significant bombing campaigns which have come with a very high civilian casualty price which have had an impact against isis but i
5:04 am
don't think we can say i mean the war against isis we know it perhaps we can say it's more or less over but extremism no certainly not the sort of syria the way the rocks there are huge questions to deal with in the coming months and years and you have been broken needs to be rebuilt three hundred thousand people need to be put back in their homes you know there's a massive reconstruction job ahead of them and nobody on the international circuit of the e.u. not the americans is is we're going to book an even suggesting they're going to pay for it so you know it's another question of where does this money come from. british foreign secretary is going on the attack at the opposition labor party m.p. for appearing on our channel called it a scandal of. if you study the output of russia today and indeed if you consider the state of the of the prince in russia this present it is an absolute it is russia today it is a scandal it is
5:05 am
a scandal that members of the party opposite continuing to value date to the date moved you to meet. that kind of propaganda by doing all those programmes strong words from boris johnson that his repeated use of the word scandal as he talks about. in the on the floor of the house of commons to choose day he talked about labor members of parliament pairing on our team but of course members of his own party have appeared regularly and frequently and. since the channel began r.t. has responded to those comments editor in chief margarita simonyan called johnson's remarks but no all she said that he was using his own freedom of speech to bully his colleagues for exercising that that's of course is a pretty awkward conversation it's an awkward conversation that he may be having with his own father because stanley johnson has appeared himself on r.t.
5:06 am
he was on one of our shows going underground's talking about his. book and he was asked by host action returns the whether any of the characters in his book were based on either of his sons i do notice how you do take sides in this book what does this mean or take kerry stokes the a bully a former mayor of london how he was absolutely living up to the expectations people have of him wowing the crowds where every went he could be serious too if it was absolutely necessary who is this former mayor of london character a little serious to do is absolutely as it were we all will face that reality sometimes we have to be we have to be serious well you are right. right absolutely there's a rigorous will be that happy but there is a who is this doc i'm not saying that that particular character is a million miles away from another member of my family whom you have. mentioned today though he didn't confine his comments to r.t.
5:07 am
he took a russia as a whole in his inimitable fashion the russians have been up to all sorts of mischief in many countries but so far we cannot yet ok for any direct russian cyber attacks on this country so he doesn't have a specific in mind but boris johnson has in the past hinted at why he thinks russians are so mischievous he says they do it because they can. and there are a number of conservative party m.p.'s have appeared on r.t. quite happily in the past in the past two years alone in front fifteen of them have come to talk to us including the former energy and climate minister charles hendry and also assistant government my freer last hour i put all that to another conservative party member and also guest on this channel m.p. done your kaczynski. anybody who challenges and criticize as i think of that i think they should pause and take
5:08 am
a moment to actually look at the interviews to look at the sort of questions that we receive as british policy politicians to look at the sort of context of what we are discussing we are evaluating and giving our opinions to russian and international viewers i've always found the interview to the interviewing techniques and practices to be very sensible and professional and that is why i continue to appear on this program he's basically accuse you of validating propaganda your thoughts on that i think is very very important in these very difficult international times particularly when tensions are growing that we continue to engage and appear on each other's programs i don't accept this criticism by the way we are criticized a lot for appearing on r.t. both in british media and also by colleagues are you going to be swayed away and people like you from coming on to the program because of what boris has other say or not no not at all and i've discussed this with colleagues. as long as the
5:09 am
continues to operate and has a license within the united kingdom i and other politicians will continue to engage with them as we do with c.n.n. as we do with the your french equivalent and many many other international channels . u.s. troops in afghanistan of allegedly fired at school children injuring two boys the shots were apparently fired after children through rocks at a military vehicle. mosul how this morning i want to go to school when i entered the school some of a classmate sticks stones and threw them at us equals they opened fire in return i injured my leg my friend was also injured now i'm in hospital. i came to school and i was playing there when the u.s. convoy passed by some of the boys threw stones at it then the u.s. forces started shooting. the.
5:10 am
understand that the children threw stones at the u.s. tanks the don't know any better because their children but the u.s. troops are educated they came here to rebuild their country instead the children. were sort of a common logic this was not the kind of reaction you expect they should have contacted the school administration and this is not good we condemn this incident the government shouldn't just agave this case. we've been in touch with nato command in afghanistan to try to get a handle on what's happening at the clarifier as yet we've had no response i can tell you the united states entered afghanistan in two thousand and one back then they believe that then ruling taliban was sheltering osama bin laden he was of course wanted over the nine eleven attacks but that was then now sixteen years on or with bin laden long out of the picture the americans are still there and the casualties from the troop presence that foreign troop presence still mounds.
5:11 am
he says i mean for me i was praying in my house and when i saw american helicopters i told my wife and children to save themselves after that i just heard a loud noise and then my house was destroyed six people were wounded including women and children. they destroyed our house and our family members wife the americans are killing our women and children every day in afghanistan and they just say sorry it was a mistake. was sitting in a room together and suddenly we had the massive bombardment of our village and i was injured. that's how when the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins american
5:12 am
soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew about my face i ran in here and came out on the hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone well i think after sixteen years of being in afghanistan it's quite obvious the strategy has not worked whether politically speaking are tactically speaking and then they look at military operations i think one can say that whatever they do it backfires that there's not been proper accountability apart from a few soldiers that have been arrested on behavior like this but by and large there's always a legitimate excuse to come up with saying blaming someone else rather than themselves the. news next that muslim public holidays could eventually be recognised in some parts of germany that's why they're being floated by the german interior minister no less to potentially include islamic festivals to public holiday calendars the politicians aren't so sure though one senior m.p. from the christian social union which is the chance of sister party has said it
5:13 am
completely out of the question well the interior minister later played down the idea somewhat saying he's been misinterpreted but we asked a few people the street in berlin what they thought of the potential plan. i have absolutely no problem with it is spying and germany is a country open to something like that. yeah it's been made i'm just not sure about that if i moved to another country they wouldn't just establish holiday so without me it's close to my heart has mixed feelings about it. i think it is difficult to establish a muslim holiday in germany as it will challenge the tolerance of many people even if they are not christians this could boost right wing ideology i think we should wait at least twenty five years until the societies acceptance of that is strong enough to. the latest survey suggests seven out of ten germans in fact would reject the introduction of islamic holidays in the country and should expect the issues exposed and pretty sharp divides as well the reality is this that. merkel's party
5:14 am
the christian social democrats are being forced into leading a really important debate which is what does integration look like angela merkel's attitude on this is going to be that we have an enlightened german society which talks about political is a freedoms of people to live as they want people to freedoms for people to worship and live free and to be integrated in a democratic a secular society what you've got is a gym a politician capitulating once again to make minorities hundreds of different religions you can have hundreds of different holidays at the end of the day christian culture christian holidays and stock capitulating to. europe as we see it today and it's going to continue to be is going to be more integrated i think the difficulty is that we've seen with the rise of the alternative for deutschland in the recent parliamentary elections they the far right their neo nazi
5:15 am
the fascist the anti immigrant the people who want to see a breakdown in a multicultural society and having different factions at each other's throats what you want to segregate people died not on and it is a christian country if you're muslim holidays go to a muslim country or go to a christian holiday you expect to abide by the christian rules if i went to a muslim country and expect to abide by the muslim moves there soon they wouldn't give me a christian holiday so let's go to christian country christian values your part by the christian bank holidays i'm a christian. i think creating a plural democratic free society where people are free to live and express their beliefs as they see fit is really really important we don't want to have offices and workplaces and schools where muslim jewish and hindu kids can have time off because those holidays are not protected and this is the only thing germany is talking about anybody. arguing against it is really odd to create it in prehistoric . well what you want the segregation it's quite clear you want segregation you want to segregate people into a religious beliefs and so leggo way celebrate their own religious oldies what we
5:16 am
want is a fully integrated national holiday like we want st george's day to be as i would national day for england a full integrated national whole of the people that we don't want to segregate people like you do we will fully inclusive holiday it's exactly sixty minutes past may day moscow time coming up britain on high alert and the danger of an extremist attack is an unknown president of level according to the head of the country's domestic intelligence service we'll tell you fully much more about it after this quick break. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. some want to it's. actually going to be this is what the three of them will be good. interested
5:17 am
reasonable. prices. thank you i. i. i. i. i. i again so as i was saying just before the break britain the head of the country's
5:18 am
domestic intelligence service is warning that the threat of terrorism is that an unprecedented level that the state before andrew parker came during a speech to journalists specializing in security. it's clear that we're contending with an intense u.k. terrorist threat from islam mystic stream ists that threat is multi-dimensional evolving rapidly and operating at a scale and pace we've not seen before the director general of m i five or six should warnings like that before in july twenty sixth he said in an interview that a terror attack in the u.k. was a matter of when not if a few months later he stressed once again that there would be terrorist attacks in the u.k. and so sadly as history has shown with the u.k. hit by several atrocities it seems his previous warnings were all too accurate there's another side to this to a rise in hate crime to tell you about in the u.k. according to the home office that's up by a record twenty nine percent compared to twenty fifteen as you can see in the graph
5:19 am
of my shoulder the spike was triggered around the time of the referendum and has been repeatedly fuelled after each terror attack has hit the u.k. . i recall a story from a colleague of mine who ran a counter extremism program in london in some of the balls to drive the areas of east london to be exact and he said that some of the boys that he was. expected to kind of to radicalize had been affected because of hate crime their
5:20 am
mothers had been sworn at family members had been spotted that they had suffered hate crime in this case and that just made them more angry and they were seeking a sense of belonging with the extremists or the radicals sort of speak so yeah it does have a knock on effect and this is the issue. leading british human rights group reprieve is calling on people to join a hunger strike now in solidarity with prisoners who are refusing food at guantanamo bay inmates there have been taking action over the treatment of being detained without trial in many cases for years we've talked about this for so long on this channel now lawyers for the prisoners claim that president trumps new orders to try and break the destroyed is seeing benteke basic medical care refused essentially leaving inmates to starve to death in some cases possibly where doctors are apparently big told to withdraw treatment if prisoners don't respond the force feeding it's also plainly made to big taunted with food investigative journalist
5:21 am
david lindorff told us the desperate prisoners are running out of options. the prisoners at guantanamo who are on hunger strike are doing it because they really have no other option at this point there they are that they are without charge some of them for fifteen years. in violation of un the us constitution. they. say really the only thing they can do is to not eat and they're doing it. terrible results and. i think what they're hoping for is that world opinion will force the trumpet ministration to. keep steps to do what should have been done years ago and you know release the one people who are cleared and try the ones you charge and try the ones who they think are guilty and that they can have it still have
5:22 am
a trial. or at least bring them. on a month put them in a regular prison where they can be you know people can't monitor what's happening to them the history here the force feeding of long to hunger striking prisoners at guantanamo has been going on for a decade when an inmate's way drops by their restraint and then fed through a nasal chub it's painful it's dangerous and it's controversial it can damage organs and cause infection the pentagon refutes the claims of a change in policy though on handling hunger strike in guantanamo prisoners but it does mention the option of medical necessity where force feeding is conducted in what is termed life or death situations in the past voluntary internal feelings unintentionally creators situation that encourage future hunger strikes as a result the preexistent standard of medical necessity will be enforced in the future. the and ministration i think is probably not going to let
5:23 am
these people die. i think it's more that trump is playing to his base this you know rabid right wing group that loves when he throws them red meat. saying well let him starve if they want to star is the kind of thing he gets. enough laws for. speaking to or so i think that's more what it is but in reality i think that senior. in the military will tell him that you can't. figure out a way to make nourishment. let's lighten things up pay visit back in southern russia of the place by the say the russian result there is a melting pot of youngsters from around the globe right now with the own going will
5:24 am
the festival of youth and students is a half way point we can tell you so many people down the festival organizers say the shape of a truck twenty five thousand visitors there enjoying a real mix of cultures sports science as well as discussing the world issues that matter social injustice to get the quiz social and monetary not to this as well as senior politicians and officials. of entertainment for them to. the world has such a long tradition of bringing people together and really breaking down artificial barriers between countries i think it's been lost on meeting people from one hundred eighty different countries i think specifically meeting people from north korea. because i would have never had that opportunity anywhere else honestly i can't even describe how i feel so lucky and so fortunate to have this opportunity to be able to meet people and educate myself about cultures all over the world and different societal and political issues it's i can't even explain the feeling i get from this experience it's amazing nobody has any barriers against each other there are no on there are no grudges or predispose. over the decades this
5:25 am
fist of festivals proved to be life changing experience for a lot of its visitors today we're going to bring you the story of one soviet boy and a german girl who met at the event in moscow sixty years ago but whose plan sadly to forge a lasting relationship were never to be. forgiveness and the cheating them so we can there's a way beach and she's going to get so deal with a deal of crazy america must get out of. hand to get we we need to get their work done soothe the blood moon give sure you could use that and so i did despite the good mean you're just. some of us that wouldn't use we had to disappear beneath.

5:31 am
trash and war is not new it is all this war itself the difference here was that this war was lasting for a decade and included tens of thousands of troops and personnel to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan. where today for alleged rash and these huge open air heads. they burned everything creating this black plume of smoke that had been just bursting are settling over is small the word of five cities. and you had people living in barracks right next to this clune people working right next to it and now working with it with no protection whatsoever. for receiving more blasting the fire and we're going to have to make it instigated this way is a catastrophe in the making. at
5:32 am
the start of the war in afghanistan the military commanders on the ground realized that they had a big problem with the trash that was accumulating from the war each soldier was accumulating approximately nine pounds of trash a day on a battlefield they didn't know what to do with it so they came up with the idea through centcom which is central command decided to create burn pits to burn the trash that was being accumulated. over that is is where the military during the war collected all their waste in one central location and sort of burying that they decided to burn it they burn everything in the us we think of what it takes the being burnt. moon moon. moon. why we would burn less human waste.
5:33 am
trash. plastics medical. supplies. to name. anything that they wouldn't use anymore they were burned. at times they also had. pipes. plastics chemicals paint batteries tires literally anything that could be disposed of was thrown in there. and it would dump diesel. elaina. and then lighting that. there was a blue smoke and the he's looked like the san francisco fog the smell was extremely
5:34 am
toxic very very putrid it burn your eyes burn your throat burn your nose i mean it was just nasty dirty stinky. some days that they. can talk of the smell of the burn ph and the sewage pit would literally make you would drop you to your knees and you'd vomit i mean it was it was that bad you knew. there was no protection. and not. many were not ok to give them a gas mask but it was a pretty. clear. mind i knew. it was more for nuclear biological chemical. and i knew. it was never mandatory for us to learn that. no safeguards were in place to protect
5:35 am
the soldiers dog as a matter of fact that they would build the seas burn pits sometimes within three hundred meters from from where the soldiers were were actually quartered behaves in the smoke drifted over to where our trailers were and just kind of hung all day all the time twenty four seven right about you know always smell the. you know. plastic birds or buildings or the wood you know mel's. i mean. it's just really an offensive putrid kind of a smell it's very hard to describe. because when it was mixed with the smell of the soon. it was just news just got awful your nose would burn your eyes would water your throat would burn during the course of the day you would you have to go and dust yourself off your hair or your clothing with all the ashes that were falling
5:36 am
on us. now we never complained. they say embrace the suck man if. we got to the work area we had initial briefing mother superior and we were told to keep an eye on our people that you're going to get for they call the iraqi crowd everybody gets sick for the first couple of weeks. and that now without a doubt within a week people were getting sick i really don't remember anybody questioning at that time. the health effects that would have me absolutely when thinking about that and thinking they got it all control or here you know certainly. people wouldn't be doing anything knowingly to poisonous but that turns out to be you know. not the case. these personnel would be exposed to a toxic soup of chemicals released into the atmosphere plastics and star riffle
5:37 am
metals chemicals from paints and solvents petroleum and lubricants jet fuel and on exploded ordinance medical and other dangerous waste. here are supposed to breathe clean air air is twenty one percent oxygen and seventy nine percent nitrogen with no air pollution are particles in the air and in particle air can trigger asthma and when you particles in an open air setting at low temperature at low heat it generates thousands times more particles than using a. burning particles particularly for burning carcinogens exposed as a person when they need it and hail it sniff it get it on their skin and they get exposed to carcinogens which can cause cancer so burning with j.p. eight which is jet fuel low temperature will be says benzene which is
5:38 am
a carcinogen. i find it amazing that the military having a regulation for everything you can have any regulation in place. that operations and those burn pits that were created in iraq and afghanistan whimpers from two thousand and two to two thousand and nine burning without any regulation at all didn't have regulation where they would be built how they would be constructed they didn't do any soil samples before they built the berm pits they didn't do any plume samples after the burn pits were operational for many many years. after nine eleven i don't care they just wanted to keep on funding because they they had they won and they matter and i trolled you wanted to fight the war even now and here we can burn scarified we can't burn certain things in open air so why weren't they allowed. when the soldiers to do it personally within three days i could feel it like
5:39 am
something was wrong and it hit me real hard i went to search. for medication. and i bought it and for me it just wouldn't go away within fifteen days that i was there was even sicker i was pretty sick the whole deployment and when i came back and returned back to the states i knew differently something was wrong. and that became the oh pill battle of trying to figure out what was wrong and how bad it was going to be i started developing sinus problems mean you know a lot of other guys need to get nasal sprays and stuff to try to alleviate their you know i just had. sinus problems veterans were coming home they had stories to tell they came home they're experiencing all these health conditions they didn't know why these presumably very healthy men and women all of a sudden were walking around like old men and women not being able to run exercise
5:40 am
the way they could so they started writing about. the stunning statement from the united states military it says open earth is that iraq exposed thousands of troops to toxic chemicals a mysterious illness is affecting veterans who were exposed to open burn pits which the u.s. military used in iraq and afghanistan to torch everything from batteries to body parts experts say the pouring out of these pits are toxic and dangerous so while troops may survive the battle they may also be poisoned. in september two thousand and four. i noticed that the v.a. clinic instead of seeing old caucasian men with real chairs and i watched in horror in their eighties. the entire composition of the waiting room changed was full of young women and men of lawlessness and nice and they were all in their twenty's
5:41 am
back from their first year long deployment in iraq. the typical service member came in with an inability to complete a two mile run within regulation time. most of them had already had a traditional work up for pulmonary disease including x. rays c.t. scans primary function testing all of these studies returned normal or near normal in almost every case. it was subtle because these service members complained of shortness of breath with exertion but their x. rays and pulmonary function tests indicated that they shouldn't have any disability at all that doctors were throwing up their hands and saying what would cause a twenty seven year old man to have a long. long journeys or a respiratory condition eighty five year old man and they started pointing to their
5:42 am
exposure to these burnt heads in the fail to realize that a lot of these guys and gals had been living around these pits for for their entire tour duty. hacking cough would go forward and then when you start to bring in no different colors something trunk. road journal body weakness just trial data. good know for their head to be some explanation that led us to begin doing surgical lung biopsies to look for things that you might miss in conventional testing.
5:43 am
global war hawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings produce to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles based on the few sox products tell you that every gossip and tabloid myself a little more news today. off about her eyes and tell me you are not cool enough and let's go buy their products. it's all the hawks that we along the border will want. to. thank you new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around
5:44 am
corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. what he found was a series of veterans who had a q lung disease acute being area first of all. injury that he was able to find through long biopsies what he found with these tiny little holes these terrorists and their long tissue he saw nothing of these veterans to come to his own conclusion that they could have only got this from
5:45 am
a toxic exposure. to produce his career looking for this problem and he was able to discover it and the diagnosis was constrictor prophylactics in english it's a small area where his disease so the lining of your loans are destroyed if you have a perfectly healthy young soldier. goes over to iraq and afghanistan because bad with construction project way this that's really a big concern are were clearly implicated. in increased incidence of lung disease associated with deployment. video deede decided they weren't going to send any more veterans his way anymore. i think dr miller's research and his study is a perfect example of. trying to avoid the issue and trying trying not to to pay the compensations to veterans. that they
5:46 am
deserve he has the proof he has everything near and they still will not even address his research. there were many people in the apartment of defense that couldn't accept these findings in you could speculate that they couldn't expect be that they couldn't accept these findings because of the potential broad employed. nation the idea that maybe there was a new asian orange. this deployment the government is looking down the road at billions of dollars in health care costs that they will be responsible for and i believe that they're doing everything they can to fav that off.
5:47 am
with the minutes of the burn fats are causing ls along the soldiers this is a new disease we call this iraq afghanistan war long injury some of the more severe cases entail that all deposited into the lungs so it is aimed while they factorial exposure to the symptoms or anywhere from from respiratory issues some mild to severe to rare forms of cancers leukemias it's a wide range of symptoms that people are experience and if you really look into it and do the research you could make these symptoms directly to the permits my
5:48 am
