9:02 am
a hot thousand dollars d.c. was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she enjoyed horrible things things that new 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 the first hour. crying in the hotel room wearing my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever were to. let her rest would be brief asking her if she shouldn't show sufficient here. and up front about . this so many people are happy that she's.
9:03 am
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 so the big gun secrecy i don't know if i say that if we show the girl still in the possession of them with their relatives parents 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. and what you could just get to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was sent. for. a 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
9:04 am
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 allies in syria reportedly led hundreds of isis fighters need that then besieged whose jihad took not only the guns and families but also the hostages and slaves the same people that are now being aborted back. to the prices vary depending on where there are if they're in dangerous place you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifteen thousand. others also tracking down missing people one iraqi and he has made a name for himself rescuing children.
9:05 am
she spent her own money buying out several of these kids and then to have. one of the girls told me the story of her she and her aunts were in isis captivity two of the terrorists watched 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 the terror. fell asleep and she and her on managed to escape the girl was eight years old and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her let's try and run away they will kill us anyway and they skate three thousand years these are still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer. cares if these don't attract the same ratings now that they aren't being
9:06 am
slaughtered so it's up to them to recover their own children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or i guess the scene from the hawk iraq r.t. contacted several human rights organizations about what's being done to help the victims of these crimes so far only a few have responded including the red cross 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 islam exceed 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
9:07 am
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 an international committee of the red cross and to report the missing gay so that we can assist in the search and identification of people who are missing. as was just mentioned many people went missing after the fierce battles for mosul despite the city's liberation more than five months ago it still looks like a war zone the red squares on the map show just how much of mosul has been obliterated yet following defeat local say little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraq's most beautiful cities.
9:08 am
the the. one we haven't received any aid from the governments are going to say. i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to its own lives i've lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation.
9:09 am
it's nice to send almost five hundred troops to the border between isha and libya saying it wants to control human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants he says prime minister has branded michette the main transit country in africa for europe and migrants troops will be deployed to four to adama on the border between nature and libya and area described as a gateway for refugees who went across the mediterranean top european officials have already called for military action now. ever the toughest deals being sealed by italy's interior minister who is raising eyebrows after boasting about his mafia type takes.
9:10 am
a little make a market go. only when i reassured them that i was from calabria a region where deals and alliances are sued with blood that they finally agreed to sign. shocked by what they witnessed thousands of the massey ated and men women and children. locked up their hangers with no access to the most basic necessities and stripped of the human dignity.
9:11 am
amnesty international had previously raised allegations against complicity in the abuse of refugees it supported its claims with this video where a libyan coast guard is towing a refugee in the sea and another one is being whipped. well as europe struggles to find new solutions to the migrant crisis we discussed with experts the latest italian decision to send troops to libya. and this is some kind of emergency measure to finally stop the human trafficking to europe unfortunately our western imperialism let's throw the situation currently in him so i think the conflict in libya which was also crossed by the our western
9:12 am
intervention. already in two thousand and eleven i think there won't be so this crisis the sad thing is and this is where the whole thing falls apart is this should not be an italian initiative this should be a european in the live this should be a coordinate in the and when you get a country like france for example negotiating with a different leader from mistress or raj in libya then you can see the degree of discontinuity that's going on this is something that should be tackled a very coordinated way within the european union and it's manifestly failed to do so. in the u.k. facebook and twitter could face sanctions if they don't help a parliamentary investigation into alleged russian interference in the brics it vote the head of the so-called fake news inquiry m.p. damian collins has now given the social media giants almost three weeks to hand over all the information he's requested they need to be able to turn us what they
9:13 am
can do about it and what we need to be able to do is say to the companies we recognise that you are best placed to militar what is going on your own site but if you fail to police the site effectively and deal with highly problematic content then there has to be some sort of sanction against you. or for further details on this we can now cross live to our. how their research so why is the chairman of the inquiry not satisfied with facebook and twitter. so this is part of the inquiry which has been going on as part of the department of culture media and sports select committee they are looking into that so-called alleged russian interference in the regs at referendum of last year and mr cullen saying that the information handed over by those social media giants is simply inadequate and we can have a look at some of the figures that they've handed over so for example facebook when it comes to russian interference on the referendum they say that there were three
9:14 am
russian ads which were taken out with a total view of only two hundred views of two hundred people viewing them and only ninety seven cents ninety seven u.s. cents spent on that advertising so hard the example of huge interference by the russians but mr collins says that no work has been done by facebook to look for other fake accounts which have been an edge of the set up by the russians and twitter as well they've handed over some information six tweets from r.t. accounts related to this channel at a cost of one thousand dollars again mr collins saying that the information twitter shed is completely inadequate and he says that this information is the same that was handed over by those tech giants or social media giants to another inquiry by british m.p.'s this month
9:15 am
a much narrower inquiry by the electoral commission so he says that they're basically not playing ball and he's threatening to sanction them including giving advice to companies not to use facebook and twitter as an advertising platform so putting pressure on them to go along with this politically motivated investigation now we've spoken to facebook they've told us. they are closely cooperating with the electoral electoral committee the electoral commission we are still waiting to hear from twitter as it goes now this is very similar to what we're hearing in the u.k. what's happening in the us same types of inquiries looking into alleged russian interference only with regard to the us presidential election and similar messages slamming messages coming from u.s. senator mark warner i was concerned at first that some of the social media platform
9:16 am
companies did not take this threat seriously enough i believe they are recognizing that threat now they've provided us with information of course these social media giants they've continuously stressed that the number of ads in the reach of the ads taken out by russians or anyone linked in any way to russia is very small in comparison to other taken out and of course very little has been spoken about for example president obama before that referendum came to the u.k. gave us reach and told people how to vote very little attention there given to social american interference so many people making those points he laughed. ninety seven cents i can't get over that artie's easter ali thank you. well friday marks another day of rage in the middle east over donald trump's plan to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital more on that after this short break.
9:17 am
join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. when you don't. seem to. get a court. what are the most. space. left to be. said. no servant to see that. you speak french. zero. zero zero zero zero zero zero
9:18 am
zero zero zero. zero zero that same year the. new president is still good so this is the ultimate. welcome back friday has been declared another day of rage following president trump's unilateral decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital these are the latest pictures from west bank cities trump also intends to relocate the u.s. embassy to jerusalem the plans to sponsor global condemnation with protests held around the world an overwhelming majority at the un general assembly voted to reject the move on numerous countries are now calling to recognize east jerusalem as the capital of the palestinian state the u.s. decision and decades of american neutrality on one of the most complex issues in
9:19 am
the region as both israel and palestine have claims on jerusalem. well the us ambassador to israel has said palestinians overreacted to donald trump's decision in an ugly and anti semitic way meanwhile it's been revealed washington proposed to make a small west bank village the palestinian capital as part of a bigger peace plan. visited the village called. 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 the states now that is according to the former head of hamas. and the america the united states offered to give the palestinian authority account with who or entity in the abu dis area far from jerusalem so there is a bridge linking abu dis and the al aqsa mosque. it's also part of the peace plan
9:20 am
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 swing 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 our axa 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
9:21 am
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 i just think is exactly the 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 with the bike and they will continue to as well and more than sixty percent of the with bank area are don't think that the palestinian would agree at any time or any palestinian leader with agree at any time to what the americans and is very are offering. well the
9:22 am
general secretary of the palestinian national initiative told us that continued protests show hunter turman palestinians are. young people are gathering. there would be more demonstrations and this is the fourth week of demonstrations there anticipation of the israelis and the americans that everything will stop in two three days nothing right there are actually doing solutions all over palestine and this is our determination to adopt popular nonviolent resistance as our form of resistance to demand our right to demand our freedom of yours i live is only an opening to the main issue which is the freedom of palestinians is becoming a popular nonviolent resistance that is becoming a style of life and it includes other activities like boycott of israeli products like diplomatic actions in the united nations and in other places where people do not understand that what we've seen in palestine is
9:23 am
a transition. from being go with the. feeling peace process into understanding that we need to change the balance of power through nonviolent resistance and boycott divestment. we've also followed the story of a palestinian boy who spent twenty days in an israeli prison. so the. double clicked with i was an area where there were confrontations and the demonstration to reject trumps decision when work was sound cannons and gas bombs i had no choice but to run away as it. hit me in my chest with a weapon and i was thrown on the ground then a group of twenty three soldiers that sack me whatever they tied my hands and blindfolded me so i could not see and if they beat and insulted me. to.
