a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me good to have you with us this hour over three hundred palestinians have been injured including around fifty with gunshot wounds another day of rage was declared on friday against president trumps you know last fall decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital we've been following the fresh wave of protests from the ground i'm here because the base itself takes a point in northern ramallah where the soldiers have come all the way in and they finding tear gas so we moving to the back of the 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 of 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 growing.

cannisters and the protesters since the morning since and the moment. well you can smell the tear gas from here so it's time to made that announcement fourteen palestinians have been killed in those figures according to the palestinian health ministry they also report 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 but for some fans. have been shooting live that you need probably because one hundred very very very close to where we were standing so. the situation here like it has been for the last month. quite tense and we can certainly smell tear gas everywhere there were at least five ambulances that look. for our 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 but you are some bastard are to israel has said palestinians overreacted to donald trump's decision in an ugly and anti semitic way that says trump's plan 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 moon. we've also followed the story of a palestinian boy who spent twenty days in israeli prison under him many an hour referred to as a symbol of resistance against israel. so there. was an area where there were confrontations and the demonstrations reject sometimes

decision. bombs and choice but to run away. with. brian on the ground then a group of twenty three soldiers attacked me they tied my hands and blindfolded me so i could not see anything and insulted me. to. its us for several minutes big hits us on the feet and i lost one of my shoes and took the other one such. thousands of kurdish speaking news it is are still being kept whole through general rock despite the fall of islamic state many of them are children who have been

abducted and sold at slave markets r.t. senior correspondent have a pause on the long way home from terrorist captivity. starting to ten dollars russia. location. starting fifteen thousand dollars. in. syria starting. down seven dollars. fifty. baghdad. to. and the thousand dollars 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 the first hour. crying in the hotel room wearing my isis tells its hostages the families will kill them if they ever were to. let her rest would be brief as to how she shops are. many people are happy that she's. meeting her relatives took her shopping. but she was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down these e.d.'s kidnapped by isis they then either negotiate a sale or steal them back their big gun secrecy i don't and she got you know if i say that if we show the girl still in that position with their relatives

a parent t.v. 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 that you get your good to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was. raped for. this. house here where there are several girls san eleven twelve years old who were old raped gifted or sold as many as fifteen songs. if not for sexual pleasure isis brainwashes. 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 in slaves the same people that are now being aborted back give it get the price is buried 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 himself rescuing children. she spent her own money buying out several of these kids and then to have a child at one of the girls told me the story of her she and her aunts were a nice escape to 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 and put them in the seat the terrorist fell asleep and she and her managed to escape as the girl was eight years old and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her 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 cares if these don't attract the same ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered. so it's up to them to recover their children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or our guys the sea from the hawk. loss he contacted several human rights organizations about what's been 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 whose fate are unknown the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with islam except 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 the 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 the anyone who has a missing person in iraq to approach an 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 well as was just mentioned many people went missing after the famous battle for mosul despite the city's liberation more than five months ago it still looks like a war zone the red squares on this map searches tao much of mosul has been a place aerated yet following items defeat locals say little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraq's years piece of processing.

we haven't received government. going to say. i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to have lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. in the u.k. facebook and twitter could face sanctions if they don't help a parliamentary investigation into alleged russian interference and the break is it folks the head of the so-called fake news and quire e.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 tell us what they

can do about it and what we need to be able to do is say to the companies we recognize 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 effectively 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 e.u. referendum and he's really slow 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 when they go of information which says that's a story russian what 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. account 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 ledged 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. he gave a speech and told people how to vote very little attention there given to seoul called american interference so many people making those points as well well r.t. contacted facebook for a comment on that warning it told if it had responded fully to all the inquiries of the electoral commission independent political commentator adam garry thinks will be inquiries into alleged russian meddling have reached a point of absurdity to sign of desperation isn't it we have someone that wants to

go to a very. nice restaurant in the no tables if the guy is really desperate to get in there can you check again or you sure you don't have any tables it really is just that ridiculous they want to prolong and prolong and on scandal when frankly all they need to do is look at the facebook ads it's all about for a public record and yes the fingers might get a bit sore scrolling down through the past 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 this sort of back scratching competition which occasionally draws blood they need to destruction it's either a sex scandal it's russian meddling. the first ship carrying russian produced gas has reached the u.k.

under a new energy deal such a story wouldn't normally make headlines however the gas is produced by a company which the u.s. president functions lift in a move strongly supported by london at the time the first round of washington sanctions were imposed in twenty fourteen and response to russia's alleged involvement in the ukraine conflict the us has always been critical of russia's gas supplies to europe thing they undermine europe's energy security with moscow using the energy sector as a foreign policy tool of you person has backed it's not in europe's interest it's not in our interests it's also a political rather than a commercial undertaking 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 equal increase prices. however the end of twenty 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 blizzard and freezing temperatures we discuss this with international oil and gas experts at mundo sami why is the european union and britain sub borked you are sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can 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 dependence on russian gas other russian oil but they come out later might try through sanctions doing their supplies of. the euro old but it will not work because very can. is far more expensive than the 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. i don't know what 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 decline in 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 heart disease and cancer have dropped however overdose deaths have been on the rise estimated to be around sixty three thousand six of 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 girls represents the person that we lost.

now this 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 have spent 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 o.p.o. 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 simp. well solution.

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 they also. drug prescribing rather than. seeking more comprehensive more complex solutions both to the problem of addiction but more generally. 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 and that's after police revealed the alleged perpetrator is her fifteen year old ex-boyfriend who's an afghan refugee has since been taken into custody eyewitnesses say the boy stabs the victim multiple times later died of her wounds and hospital locals gave

us their reaction to the incident. this is a story i don't know what i should see i think it is of course i want to buy some flowers and lay them down here what happened to stretch marks it's always good so many of us here in germany. here to. look to young women young. girls this is the latest in a line of similar cases in the country just 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 and last friday a teenage asylum seeker repeatedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend ago was left with severe injuries. we spoke to martin doul who is the house parliament and pay for the left party he thinks the best so migrant integration into society would reduce the level of violence if you look at the german society and said enough. violence

against women is a very common problem and of course there are other problems like for example in refugee camps many people live there for one year two years three years without a perspective and of course this raises the raises social problems because like everyone who lives under very very. and groot circumstances. can get into a psychological crisis as well if the refugees the central possibility to live so that they are not somehow get to sized in refugee camps not only in one district in one place like a camp but in normal 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 perfect if. you're not so easily get violent. it's nice to send almost five hundred troops to the border between asia and libya saying it wants to control human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants it's in his prime minister has branded nation the main transit country in africa for europe bound migrants chips will be deployed to fort adama on the border between egypt and libya an 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 deal have been sealed by italy's interior minister who is raising eyebrows off the boasting about his mafia tactics.

i want to make a mark like. only when i reassured them that i was from calabria region would deals in alliances a suit with blood that they finally agreed to sign. monitors all shocked by what they witnessed thousands of them a seed to the and 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.

honesty international had previously raise allegations against the e.u. of complicity in the abuse of refugee is a supporter they've claimed that with this video where a libyan coast guard is towing a refugee in the sea and another one is being whipped. as europe struggles to find new solutions to the my current crisis we discussed with experts the latest it highly and decision to send troops to libya i think this is some kind of emergency measure to finally stop this. human trafficking to europe unfortunately western imperialism let's throw the situation. currently in so i think.

conflict in libya which was also crossed but western intervention back in two thousand and eleven i think there won't be and 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 shape of 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 coordinated way within the european union and it's manifestly failed to do so so you know these in the day stories by following us on facebook and twitter join me again in about thirty minutes for the headlines for you that.

is that country called russia no one's ever known one has ever had a country never even heard about most.
