12:03 am
specifically involved in nice abuses and abuses against the israelis but just be care because they carry the name of this tribe. according to top iraqi officials in twenty fourteen alone almost seven thousand years of the people were kidnapped by ice so we understand three thousand are still missing. the men want to offer us and skiffs and in the evenings they would get together and treat the women and have their fun with us. because of gayety it was indescribable funny laugh turned into endless suffering tears and hunger i couldn't do anything i cry and i. as i saw loses ground in iraq
12:04 am
bolkus really again says the unlawful killings and torture of tribe members by year's union forces are another dog chapter for the war torn country if any one in these battles against isis has been to end one hundred six cycle of violence and iraq violence in iraq allowing groups of armed actors to target tribes to target women children men and we have had nothing to do with the crimes of isis with complete impunity allowing them to torture and execute within punitive hopes of reconciliation community it's. so with the world gearing up for new year's eve germany has come up with a new way to ensure security safe zones for women are being set up at butlins brandenburg gate party and it comes in response to a massive sexual assault so celebrations two years ago in cologne. maria for national has been gauging reaction in the german capital. just like at new year's
12:05 am
celebrations the world over hundreds of thousands of people are expected to flock to this place here in berlin to see out the old and bringing the new you can see preparations are currently on to go in with keeping everyone safe without spoiling the atmosphere is a huge challenge for the authorities and these here organizers i go in one step further aside from usual safety berries and alcohol bans and so-called women's safety area is being set up it's a zone where female guests who feel sexually harassed of just uncomfortable can get special help it's been manned by members of german red cross and comes in response to events two years ago back then hundreds of women who were sexually assaulted at new year carnivals they were groped robbed intimidated and separated from their friends according to leaked police documents there were more than one thousand cases reported in cologne in hamburg alone more than two thousand men were forcibly
12:06 am
involved most of them asylum seekers the new idea of the women's safety area has received a mixed reaction that's a good idea many people feel like need help but they don't know who to ask to do and having this service is kind of nice i think sexual harassment was many people were in groups and you were so how do you get from here to the safe place i mean. it seems a bit far fetched i don't think it's such a good idea it's to me it sounds it's a bit like an early be set up. after a freight but this initiative it's good if because it's needed. in front of any it's kind of interesting that they do it in a new years as a events because i better if it's like a long long get to like tutor like that they are. just make one think that you do
12:07 am
first pressure because i don't know you sounded a little commercial you know way to early in police has also issued recommendations for those who are planning to come here for new year's celebrations including avoiding aggressive groups pain attention when someone gets too close and in case of any danger reporting to police reason otieno r.t. from delhi if the party member in the berlin parliament frank hansel believes instead of safe zones for women its migration policies that need we think we feel that there is a new step of. danger coming into our country we've seen it since we have to already build vaults against our christmas markets this is a development we do not want to see really policy should change we should not continue to have this mass immigration of illegal immigration we do have
12:08 am
we have to count and see who the people are who came to our country we have to register them this is a process which has not been come to an end and we must close the borders in order to have a stable society you can go much further than the security forces or the politicians in germany goal so that's a problem and that i think this is not a good sign for the new year to come. if you were to take the word of the mainstream media russia has had a very busy year in twenty seventeen especially when it comes to sowing discord and interfering in the world over although in his light is that if you rushers a foreign minister had a word or two to say about it. it's all above board. of what but if.
12:09 am
we get the goods to put you. off work you do a new. push to reduce the going yourself when you post. the manuals and the political news there's a simple use your words. people which. we've said you were just about the bill will go go go go and. so did you hear that russia's foreign minister actually admitted to meddling in elections around the world i don't pay attention as i did no no that was actually a video. and. what do you think do you think that that actually i mean are you surprised by that that he would admit to actually meddling in the us election absolutely i think it definitely changed everything that the public was seeing right now and of course he
12:10 am
would never admit if they did anyway right it's quite surprising that he would admit something and even go further it's actually it's a prank video it was a comedy show that he did he was totally beings or guys i don't know any i knew. he was being sarcastic ok that makes much more sense if you're saying he's joking yet was a comedy program yeah right but who knows that he's joking do you feel like people are predisposed to believe negative things about russia one hundred years ago and to say i think that we have a very negative connotation about people and yeah it's the way versions are pictured than western countries. and is right the court has sentenced a sixty eight year old bedouin man. ten months in prison and fined him more than ten thousand dollars for trespassing but he claims the land belongs to him. as a village elder in it's located in southern israel bedouin tribes settled there long

12:12 am
compromise and will give this land to the state. in my your duty if i was jewish the soldiers wouldn't come here at six in the morning on a rainy day they don't care this is just a bedouin house they don't think the bedouins are human beings they don't care that bedouins the citizens of this country they don't care that bedouins live on this land not the country's last name on the tribes says they've lived here for seven hundred and fifty years. many this document is from nine hundred eighty five in the autumn in the air and the second one with the red stamps is also from autumn in times nine hundred twenty nine and this third one doesn't have to do with the land it's for nine hundred thirty six and these are receipts from taxes for the land. everybody here is family father mother uncle aunt relatives only the alps henri

12:16 am
to me is not a threat but there's a great threat to all mind this is a great threat to all people who crypto currency most people do not keep their currencies on their own while we're living in a new world and a new world of risks for all of us using the internet actors are becoming more and more efficient and more sophisticated in their hacking techniques this is going to happen to me. it can have. been more than a year since a french aid worker who had gone to mali to help malnourished children was abducted . is seventy two years old back in twenty sixteen she was taken hostage by local terrorists in july this year she was shown alongside five other captives in so-called proof of life footage released by al-qaeda and we spoke to her son who says despite an ongoing investigation he's received no information what so ever.

12:18 am
a few people going on who was abducted on christmas eve you know and you may be sure that all the resources of the state are being mobilized to find her and bring her back to her family but also be certain that as far as i'm concerned i will not give in to any provocation because that is precisely what our attackers want it's good that they can be contacted for support but our family has been disappointed by the government's failure to make any decisions in this case yes it's wonderful that we have being supported with the one who really needs support is my mother we need to ask mr marquand about this he has power in the situation he can decide on a course of action it must be admitted that so far no progress has been made in tackling this matter. the first ship carrying russian produced gas has reached the u.k. under a new energy deal for liquefied natural 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
12:19 am
sanctions were imposed in twenty four to universe spawn's to russia's alleged involvement in the ukraine conflict the us has always been critical of russia's gas supplies to europe saying they undermine their confidence energy security with moscow using fuel supplies they say as a foreign policy tool a view that britain has supported it's not in europe's interest 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 it still a foreign policy threatening to cut off supplies or address to go increase prices. however the end of twenty seventeen s in 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
12:20 am
a crack and then one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a spike in gas prices moreover britain has faced an unusually cold winter so far with blizzards and freezing temperatures we discuss the story with oil and gas expert solomon why is the european union and but it then sub boricua us sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can put aside or a share of the sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with d. and i thinking them now russia has is it a liability supped law of the euro so i think that will continue of course the united states would like to be able to read us euro because the abundance of russian gas i don't wash and oil but they come out they might try through sanctions to increase their supplies of g.

12:24 am
dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. on a parking space is not a solution. someone wanted to ring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all they're a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. in two thousand and sixteen the panama paper has shown the world with a tax haven the secrets to trillion united states dollars passed through most. in the amount of time that we've in the panama papers exposure that's what it shows off money it really is. journalism it's a fact of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking
12:25 am
why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of fonseka documents were examined. the only people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of newspaper. and probably other politician which were just attacking other politicians the media were quick to find their targets such as the kings of morocco and saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. and russian president vladimir putin of course. my god i've had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance it was very striking there were no one america single special book all walks of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china their special project reveals what was missed in

12:27 am
mainstream media has met its maker. it's all to see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waving spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guard see that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call him in that story as well as three. thousand zero zero zero zero zero i call russia. twice thrice so i know i left left left more or less ok stop that's really good.
