i. promised him eons declare another day of rage response to president trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital we have exclusive footage of the clashes in the west bank and gaza. uprising quite tense in winter so if you smell tear gas in the way. that. you did not i'm sold for two thousand dollars at an islamic state slave market we speak to a fifteen year old girl who managed to escape from terrorist captivity. and facebook and twitter face sanctions if they fail south of british parliamentary probe into alleged russian interference in the breaks it poses.

to. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me mickey aaron good to have you with us this. friday has been declared another day of rage following president trump's unilateral decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital we're following a fresh wave of protests from the ground. i'm here with these bases six point three in northern ramallah where the focus of come all the way in and they firing tear gas are we moving to the back there's a smaller crowd here than normal but they have as always been throwing rocks and stones and sometimes molotov cocktails at the israeli soldiers this is the floor it's friday rage actually palestinians all over gaza strip east jerusalem and the west bank are demonstrating and protesting against donald trump's declaration days right behind me is throwing tear gas canisters on the protesters as since the

morning since that announcement was made. well you can smell the tear gas from here so strong made that announcement fourteen palestinians have been killed and those figures according to the palestinian hope ministry they also reports that more than three thousand people have been injured it's escalating it's uprising but that is right the army has been throwing tear gas canisters all the protesters are running away from the buffer zone found out that israelis have been shooting live that nation are brother bullets as one hundred very very very close to where he was standing so. the situation here like it has been for the last month. quite tense and we can certainly smell tear gas every way there were at least five ambulances that. floor are three injuries.

the u.s. decision ends decades of american neutrality on one of the most complex issues in the region as both israel and palestine have claims on jerusalem but under international law east jerusalem is not part of israel the city also houses holy sites for the three most popular religions the u.s. ambassador to israel has the palestinians over reacted to donald trump's decision in an ugly and anti semitic way that has trump's plans to relocate the u.s. embassy to jerusalem has sparked global condemnation with protests held around the world an overwhelming majority at the u.n. general assembly voted to reject the move. we've also followed the story of a palestinian boy who spent twenty days in an israeli prison and to whom many now refer to as a symbol of resistance against israel. so that. i

was in the area where there were confrontations and the demonstration to reject the terms decision when the. bombs no choice but to run away. and i was thrown on the ground then a group of twenty three soldiers attacked make whatever they start my hands and blindfolded me so i could not see. and sort of make. sure. it's us for several minutes big hits us on the feet and the last one of my shoes and the other one such. thousands of kurdish speaking news it is a still being kept hostage in iraq despite the fall of islamic state many of them

are children who have been abducted and sold at slave markets senior correspondent mark reports on the long way home from terrorist captivity. ten thousand dollars russia. location turkey. fifteen thousand dollars inas in. syria starting bid. for the dollars. fifteen. baghdad. so put two and 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 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 her first hour. crying in the hotel room wearing my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever return but her arrest would be brief asking her if she shouldn't show. the. many people who have either she's. 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

and i say that if we show the girls still in that position that with their relatives apparent 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. and you could you get your good 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 old raped gifted or sold as many as fifteen songs. if not for sexual pleasure. isis brainwashes u.c.d. 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 repeatedly let hundreds of isis fighters need that then besieged graca whose jihad just took not only the guns and families but also that hostages and slaves the same people that are now being on the border back of it give it give the prices vary 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 missing people one iraqi and he has made a name for herself rescuing children. she spent her own money buying out several of these kids under the hatch 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 fighters her gave her some sleeping pills she kept them then put them in the street the terrorist 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 edis is still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer really cares is edis don't attract the same ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered so it's up to them to recover that own children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or our guys they have ahd seen 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 do not know the fate of their loved ones and if they have the right to know the fate of the loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere or to a conflict what will the process to look and search for missing loved ones is really born from 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 battle for mo's more than five months ago it still looks like a war zone the red squares on the map shows just how much of mosul has been obliterated yet following isis defeats locals say little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraq's most beautiful cities. we haven't received any aid from the government or any other organization.

i said and i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to its home i've lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. in the u.k. facebook and twitter could face fines since if they don't help of parliamentary investigation into alleged russian interference in the break that vote that of the so called they can use inquiry and pay damian collins has now given the social media giants almost three weeks to handover all the information he's requested they need to be able to tell us what they 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 mean that so what is going on your own so it's 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 damian collins the chair of the department of culture media and sports select committee in the u.k. parliament he's leading this investigation into so-called alleged russian interference in the regs. referendum and he's really slammed these tech giants the social media giant saying that they aren't handing over enough information and that the information that they are handing over is the same that they handed over to the electoral commission earlier this month and we can look at some of the numbers of come forward facebook for example handing over information which says that story russian ads were taken out with only two hundred views or two hundred people viewing those ads and the total cost of ninety seven cents spent on the damian collins saying that no work has been done by facebook to look for other fake accounts and twitter as well handing over information saying that only six tweets

from r.t. accounts at a cost of a thousand dollars again mr collins saying that twitter the information that they've shared is completely inadequate now we've spoken to facebook they've told us that they are closely cooperating with the electoral committee but that they don't have any evidence thus far of russian actors attempting to influence the brig's that vote but this all is very similar to the types of inquiries we've been seeing in the u.s. and looking into the presidential election there and again alleged russian interference and we've also heard from the u.s. senator mark warner who's also been very critical of those social media giants i was concerned at first that some of the social media platform companies did not take this threat seriously enough i believe they are recognizing that threat. now they've provided us with information because these social media giants they've

continuously stressed the number of ads in the the reach of the ads taken out by russians or anyone linked in any way to russia is very small in comparison to other adverts taken out and of course very little has been spoken about here for example president obama before that breakfast referendum came to the u.k. she gave a speech and told people how to vote very little attention there given her soul called american interference so many people making those points as well. r.t. contacted facebook for a comment on that warning it told us it had responded fully to all the inquiries of the electoral commission independent political commentator adam garry thinks all the inquiries into alleged russian meddling have reached a point of absurdity sign of desperation is someone that wants to go to a very nice restaurant in the no tables if the guy is really desperate to get in the can you check again or are you sure you don't have any tables it really is just

ridiculous they want to prolong and prolong scandal when frankly all they need to do is look at the facebook ads it's all about the public record and yes the fingers might get a bit sore scrolling down through the post but it doesn't take you don't need to be some sort of super james bond in order to conduct this it really comes down to irresponsible corporate governance irresponsible political governance and a lack of transparency on both sides and in order to stir hoodwink the public about this of this sort of backscratching competition which occasionally draws blood they need a destruction it's either a sex scandal it's russian meddling. the first ship carrying russian produced gas has reached the u.k. and new energy deal such a story wouldn't normally make headlines however the gas is produced by a company which the u.s. put on its sanctions list in a move strongly supported by london at the time the first round of washington

sanctions were imposed in two thousand and fourteen in response to russia's alleged involvement in the ukraine conflict the us has always been critical of russia's gas supplies to europe saying they undermined europe's energy security with moscow using the energy sector as a foreign policy tool of view britain has backed. it's not in europe's interests it's not in our interests it's also a political rather than a commercial undertaking and there is an existing framework in place for the e.u. to take more aggressive action on north stream two and similar projects if it wished to do so politically we have seen how countries such as putin's russia use their gas supplies is a tool of foreign policy threatening to cut off supplies addressed according chris prices. however the end of two thousand and seventeen has seen the u.k. out in the cold and in need of russian gas it all started around three weeks ago

when the most important pipeline to britain was shut down due to a crack then one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a record spike in gas prices in the past four years moreover britain has faced an unusually cold winter with snow blizzards and freezing temperatures we discuss this with international oil and gas expert mundo solomon why is the european union and britain sub borked you are sanctions when it comes to their own needs they. put aside or a share of these sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the united kingdom now russia is reliable supplier to europe so i think that will continue of course the united states would like to be able to reduce europe's the bandits or russia or russian oil but they come out they might

try through sanctions do increase their supplies of. the euro but it will not work because very can. is far more expensive than russian gas. powerful painkillers are affecting life expectancy in america figures show opioids played a bigger role in overdose deaths last year than any other drug legal or illegal tackling the addiction has become a national priority as artists american 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. the average life expectancy in the us 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 any better we

haven't seen more than 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 us 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 represents the person that we lost to.

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 as a nominated as. health and human services secretary we are a country a culture that tends to look for quick fixes or simple solutions and particularly as that 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 drug prescribing rather than on seeking more comprehensive more complex solutions both to the problem of addiction but more generally to problems of human suffering and while people expect the government to act life expectancy continues to drop samir khan r t washington d.c. . the fatal stabbing of a teenage girl in southwest germany has caused outrage in the country that's after police revealed the alleged perpetrator is her fifteen year old ex-boyfriend who is an afghan refugee he's since been taken into custody i witnessed say the boy stopped the victim multiple times she later died of her wounds in hospital locals

gave us their reaction to the incident. that's the sort i don't know what i should see i think it is off i want to buy some flowers and lay them down here what happened distressful. that so many. children eat. looked at young. kids. is the latest in a line of similar cases in the country two weeks ago a man of afghan origin tried to drown his seventeen year old ex-girlfriend in berlin the girl managed to escape and was taken to hospital last friday a teenager's final mistaken repeatedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend the go was left with severe injuries we spoke to martin dog who's the parliament m.p. for the left party he thinks that better migrant integration into society would reduce the level of violence. if you look at the german society and said enough

world wide while lance against women is a very common problem and of course there are other problems like for example in refugee camps many people lived there for one year two years three years without a perspective and of course this raises a raises social problems because like everyone who lives under very very. and drouet circumstances. can get into a psychological crisis as well if the refugees de central possibility to live so that they are not somehow get to sized in refugee camps and not only in one district in one place like a camp but on the flats and so they are more integrated and as well as important if refugee here or migrants are in germany they have to have to have the possibility

to work and if you have a person active. you are not so easily get violent. it's nice to send almost five hundred troops to the border between egypt and libya saying it was to control human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants it is prime minister has branded any shared the main transit country in africa or europe bound migrants troops were deployed to fort madama on the border between asia and libya and the area described as a gateway for refugees who want to cross the mediterranean top european officials have already called for military action however the toughest deals been sealed by italy's interior minister who is raising eyebrows off the boasting about his mafia tactics.

i want to make them. only when i reassured them that i was from calabria a region with deals and alliances a sealed with blood they finally agreed to sign. monitors was shocked by what they witnessed thousands of the un traumatized men women and children piled on top of each other locked up in hang is with no access to the most basic necessities and stripped of the human dignity.

and standish and against the e.u. of complicity in the abuse of refugees it's supported its claims with vista video more libyan coast guard is towing a refugee in the sea and another one is the latest italian decision to send troops in there via think this is some kind of emergency measure to finally stop the human trafficking to europe and fall. western imperialism. is currently in so i think the conflict in libya which was also crossed for the western intervention back in two thousand and eleven i think there won't be 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 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 in a coordinated way within the european union and it's manifestly failed to do so. here at r.t. we love to hear your thoughts on a day story so to get in touch by following guys on facebook and on twitter i'll be back at the top of the hour with the headlines of the year that.

a robot governments can be much more rational and much more compassionate than the . all the dark human governments that we have i suspect people will be more happy with that new situation than they are with the. greetings and salyut asians today hawk watchers it's time to celebrate the freedom of expression the freedom to reject the conventions of the status quo and the

freedom of true individuality which means today we celebrate punk rock music in all its forms an attitude rooted in the garage bands of the one nine hundred sixty s. punk rock grew out of a rejection of the claustrophobic excesses of mainstream rock music in the one nine hundred seventy s. punk became a cultural phenomenon that shook the status quo to the core and change the face of music culture and even.
