children. in washington. proposal.

in iraq thousands of speaking still being kept hostage many of them. told to. take. no idea age ten location. starting bid ten thousand dollars russia age nine location turkey starting bid fifteen thousand dollars keenness age eight location syria starting bid. dollars and dollars.

age fifteen. baghdad sold for two and a hog thousand dollars d was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she endured horrible things things that no fifteen year old girl or any woman should ever have to endure two hours ago she was back by her family here in baghdad no one called the police no one wanted to risk her life she spent her first hour. crying in the hotel room wearing my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever it's. that her rest would be brief asking how she's going to show sufficient. and up front about the little salute very seriously so many people are happy that

she's. telling shortly after our meeting her relatives took her shopping. she was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down these e.d.'s kidnapped by isis they then either negotiate the sale or steal them back then be gone secrecy i don't she got you know if i say that if we show the girl still in that position with them with their relatives parents t.v. the deal will be on that they killed the hostages. as such some of the. people involved didn't want to appear on camera but the stories. are good and what you get your good to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was . raped for three years consecutive house here where there are several girls sand eleven twelve years old who were all raped gifted or

sold as many as fifteen songs. if not for sexual pleasure isis brainwashes using children and sends them on suicide missions or sells them for money oh when isis fighters flee to turkey they sell their slaves because they need money to go back to their home countries. you may not know but when the u.s. led coalition and their allies in syria reportedly led hundreds of isis fighters need that then besieged raca whose jihad this took not only the guns and families but also their hostages and slaves the same people that are now being on the border back of the process is very depending on where they are if they're in dangerous place you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifteen thousand. others also tracking down anything and you for one iraqi and he has made

a name for herself rescuing children. she spent her own money buying out several of these kids and then to have you know one of the girls told me the story of her she and her aunts were in isis captivity two of the terrorists watch them day and night to prevent them from running away then the girl told one of them that she couldn't sleep and asked to see a doctor the isis fighter gave her some sleeping pills she kept them and put them in his seat. terrorists fell asleep and she and her on managed to escape that the girl was eight years old and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her that let's destroy and run away they will kill us anyway and they skate three thousand years edis is still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer really care is easy these don't attract the same

ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered so it's up to them to recover the children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or our guys the odd see from the hawk iraq we've contacted numerous human rights organizations to just get an idea of what's being done to help the victims of these horrific crimes however so far only a few have responded this is what the red cross told us. the battles in mosul and ramadi and fallujah all over iraq have yielded an overwhelming overwhelmingly large or high amount of missing people people who whose fate are unknown the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with this lamech said group or any other party in iraq families do not know the fate of their loved

ones and if they have the right to know the fate of their loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere in iraq being held by a certain party to a conflict what we do to assist because we know that the process to look and search for missing loved ones is a really painful process that can go on for many many years and we call on anyone who has a missing person in iraq to approach the international committee of the red cross and to report the missing case so that we can assist in the search and identification of people who are missing as our guest just mentioned many went missing after the fierce battles for bosu and despite the city's liberation over five months ago it still looks very much like a war zone the red squares coming up on the map showed just how much of mosul has been obliterated it after i sold to feed the locals war little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraq's most beautiful cities.

when we haven't received any aid from the. they know they're going to save. us and i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to this home i've lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation.

some past the hour here in moscow powerful painkillers are affecting life expectancy in america figures show opioids played a bigger rolled in overdose deaths last year than any other legal or illegal drug and they're tackling the addiction has become a national priority the epidemic doesn't seem to be going away smear a con reports the nation's opioid epidemic drug overdoses this country's recent surge in opioid addiction incredible epidemic one of the most serious crises facing people in this country. i don't know what is the average life expectancy in the u.s. is getting shorter for the second year in a row now that's according to the center for disease control and prevention and they predict this downward trend will only continue it doesn't look at me but we

haven't seen movement two years in the row in the claw new life expectancy since the spanish flu one hundred years ago would be entering the sorts of territory which is extremely concerning now this is all while other major causes of death like heart disease and cancer have dropped however overdose deaths have been on the rise estimated to be around sixty three thousand six hundred that's more than the number of u.s. soldiers that died during the vietnam war around fifty eight thousand and that's not it about two thirds of drug related deaths were linked to opioid use. so it's pretty safe to say that america's been dealing with an opioid crisis that's only getting worse. every one of those little girls represents the person we lost.

those epidemic has resulted in a few shocking cases in the us in ohio a coroner's office ran out of space to store dead bodies in west virginia officials had to send over a million dollars just to transport dead bodies and you would think that this would raise some concern in washington and it did in my administration is officially declaring the opioid crisis a national public health emergency under federal law and why i am directing all executive agencies to use every appropriate emergency authority to fight the opioid crisis however the government has an allocated any additional funding to deal with this crisis while the former c.e.o. of a company that produces opioid meds has been nominated as health and human services secretary we are a country a culture that tends to look for quick fixes for simple solutions and particularly as it as it relates to drug use you know we think drug users are

criminals or they're morally the fact that we stigmatize them or we offer them you know adequate treatments the overemphasis drugs prescribe thing rather than on seeking more comprehensive more complex solutions both to the problem of addiction but more generally to oak problems of human suffering and while people expect the government to act life expectancy continues to drop samir khan r. t. washington d.c. we discussed the opioid crisis of law professor richard alston us who has written about the failure to prosecute drug companies he warns that big pharma quote downplayed the addiction of risks. the structure of the health care programs in these various countries does have an effect i think that doctors tend to prescribe opioids when there's private health insurance perhaps more so than in

europe where there are government programs. the drug companies developed lobbied the medical profession and demand among doctors to prescribe these drugs for chronic pain which they were really designed to be used for so i think that perhaps has as much to do with it as. direct to consumer advertising. the drug companies didn't do their part either they downplayed the risks associated the addiction risks associated with opioid use. and therefore both physicians and patients were somewhat misled about the risks clearly an educational program would have helped that and certainly it's needed now to try to prevent the problem from getting any worse. the united nations children's

agency has called twenty seventeen a night for children. across the world unicef says kids refuge at home or at the playground and are exposed to brutal violence on a daily basis. among

the countries is where. children from their homes to seek safety in neighboring. also nigeria. where boko haram militants routinely abduct young girls for rape and forced them in the democratic republic of congo hundreds of children have been injured and had to flee their homes as a result of violent clashes between the army and militias but not just also of course in syria children remain trapped in the ruins of rebel held east ghouta which government forces osce fill trying to recapture and in yemen more than a million children are at risk of disease and starvation amid the continued saudi

bombing campaigns yemen is one of the most places to be right now because she's the. lady the number of children minorities two million and the number of two that and don't have access to one that is enormous at the scene with access to her and we needed that he said almost twenty seven million and seventy percent of them are leaving the seven million the yemenis they don't have support in another ten million actually secure i don't think i've seen these anywhere that's where the period think the national media are not to confront first to try to compete with those parties and order to find that it was the kind of peace solution to this conflict that is going on for for so long and second of course the requests for additional resources. to drive to help one of them be this is a humanitarian crisis of the war that this point in time more years in

a moment. it's. not.

the us israel has said. as the capital of israel meanwhile it's been revealed that washington proposed to make a small west bank village the new palestinian capital. this is a neighborhood of jerusalem that is home to some twelve thousand people and which has been under israeli occupation since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven it is also being offered as the future capital of a state now that is according to the former head of hamas ismail haniya and the

american. the united states offered to give the palestinian authority a capital and city in the abu dis area far from jerusalem so there is a bridge linking abu dis and the al aqsa mosque also part of the peace plan that is being presented by the saudis and it does seem plausible if you remember that president trump is planning to move his embassy to jerusalem but if you swim across here and you see the security the israeli security barrier which runs through the middle of abu dis it begs the question how can a place like this service the capital of a future palestinian state in theory it is possible to have direct access from abu dis to the muslim holy sites in the distance in the old city and there is a plan that is being put forward to pulled a bridge from here to the alex a compound which is the third holiest site in islam without that access that would

be a conversation stopper but it is hard to believe that palestinians would support us and. we want jerusalem to be for the palestinians not just for the israelis our home is here our life is here. they cannot hold hold a holy place in the name of if used in the name of capitalism or democracy there is no ins you have to be holy to hold the holy name whatever the future of this village one thing is clear president trumps decision to move his embassy to jerusalem will have far reaching consequences what just think is exactly is there any thinking americans are reading only reading the israeli plan to the area they don't want really a state in the west bank and if they want to make it in an enlarged gaza for that purpose they will continue to control. the borders of the was back and they were

going to move as well and more than sixty person. of the with very area and i don't think that the agree at any time or any palestinian leader with agree at any time to want the americans and this very hour of. the us magazine has named five stars who claim their careers have been ruined by donald trump's tweets among them comedian kathy griffin who says the president's message destroyed her life after she posed with a mask that looked like severed head. before that video filmed seven months ago griffin not only faced death threats on social media she was also fired from c.n.n. back then tweeted she should be ashamed of herself and that is eleven year old son was distressed by the clip but griffin now says it's precisely that tweet that made

her the target of an online backlash media analyst lionel didn't mince his words over where he thinks the blame lies this is an individual who goes on t.v. or goes on i guess the internet or whatever holds this head up this severed head of this man and this severed head under for some reason showing some artistic expression ok. and then when it comes out the president says you know i don't like that g.m. magine that imagine donald trump tweeting that he's displeased with this this rendition of himself beheaded so what kathy griffin is saying is you know donald trump had you just kept quiet about it i'd still be working today and instead of showing protrusions in your show you should sorry asking the world and america everyone importantly president run for forgiveness i don't know i love her she does she goes into a routine so she makes it even worse here's why no person on this planet that

kathy griffin can blame for the plight that she's in and that person is kathy griffin. a spanish court has ruled in favor of a man who was sued by his ex-wife for breach of their daughter's privacy for reading what conversations the mother claimed that her child's prophesy had been violated and the judge decided that it's parents' responsibility to monitor children's internet use as the social network requires proper vigilance from adults the daughter also gave permission to read chats the former couple also have a son who apparently refused to show his father his what's up message is now the ruling could set a legal precedent for cases involving children activity on social media my colleague nikki erin discussed the story with two guests. looking at the case it looks like these are obviously a bit of animosity between the two parents. something obviously not been reported

between what's been going on between them too and he's obviously got concerns regarding what is going on obviously you have a responsibility to make sure that your children are using social media responsible you know there's a lot of. things happening in the world today and we've been told that we have to monitor social media to see what's going on and we have to be careful of what our children are actually. seeing and engaging in personally i don't think it should be the norm at all i think you know. rewind sort of thirty years in a child's right to a diary and if the child finds out the parent has looked in their diary then probably the child will be very upset and will have very real grievances and concerns that the parent has not respected them appropriately in the parent will then have to justify the child why they did that. you know the child will probably that it's not an appropriate thing the pair will have to just like. in other words we go back to this question of right and wrong versus whether or not the courts should be involved so i think you know there are all sorts of issues here but i

think it's important not to treat the current world as if it's entirely novel you know these issues of how parents and children negotiate questions of privacy versus parental responsibility even if children are raised without having their privacy respected isn't there a risk they're going to grow to be more tolerant of invasions of their privacy later in life for example government snooping perhaps well children something memorial of always kept secret from the parents that's that's a given it's always up and the issue now is with social media it's a lot greater and a lot wider than we ever envisioned when i was a child you know our interaction was just either the sense of the community centers . around the bush elton's which is what kids do but now the a lot wider people travel a lot for the first. there's a lot more dangerous with social media i think we are faced with a danger where the more over thirty governments and courts have to police the

relationship between parents and children the more that ends up becoming a pretext for further surveillance of all communications itself so i think keeping the family private is a put an important part of keeping the government away from inappropriate surveillance of citizens. so the holiday season is in full swing and for russia the biggest celebration the new year is just a couple days away and moscow is dressed to impress here's a sneak peek. you .

can use as back in half an hour. a little more hard sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forced me to fight the battle. to stop trying to tell you that somebody gossiping tablet or shall. i tell you you are not full enough to fight. these are the hawks that we along with all the one. a robot governments can be much more rational and much more compassionate than the

current oligarchs human governments that we have i suspect people will be more happy with that new situation than they are with.

most of the fifty. sounds. so yes that was my name is ultimate i'm a travel photographer and i went to kenya to amboseli national park to meet them i thought i was an amazing people who have managed to preserve their authenticity and find ways to interact with the outside world to. reach surprisingly many most i speak good english and have internet access so finding them and arranging to meet was a breeze. yes it was. it was.
