it's been more than a year since a french aid worker who had gone to mali to help malnourished children was abducted sophie petang 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 so. don't shoot to. kill the parents prosecutor ordered an urgent investigation into his stools we are now trying to find new materials to restart it so that it will be apparent indeed to a lack of results we are establishing contacts to try to trace them in seeking any information to establish with the she's alive and when she might be found so far we have no news nothing concrete he the from the kidnappers not from any contact persons and also nothing from the foreign ministries crisis center. the number of those kidnapped by terrorists has been rocketing in recent years last year the

total number worldwide reached almost sixteen thousand people back in july the french president emanuel cold for the full mobilization of all the resources possible to bring sophia back after a year she is still trapped in mali. he should be looking but the odds of today my thoughts are with our competitor. who was abducted on christmas eve 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 on this case yes it's wonderful that we are being supported with the world who really need 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 a russian produced gas has reached the u.k. under a new energy deal the 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 sanctions were imposed in twenty fourteen in response to russia's alleged military invasion of ukraine and the us has always been critical of russia's gas supplies to europe saying they undermined the continent's energy security with moscow using fuel supplies 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 pigeons russia used tear gas supplies as a tool of foreign policy threatening to cut off supplies or drastically increase prices however the end of twenty seven twenty seven has seen the u.k. out in the cold i didn't 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 spike in gas prices more of a britain has faced an unusually cold winter with blizzards and freezing temperatures and we discussed the story with oil and gas expert solomon. why is the european union but it then bork us sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can put aside the sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the united kingdom now russia has

a lie i've been supplying so i think that will continue of course the united states would like to be able to use euros dependence on russian gas and russian oil but they cannot they might try through sanctions to increase their supplies of. but. because they can. is far more expensive than russian gas. two professors from san diego state university claim farmers' markets in the u.s. contribute to the oppression of minorities in the country and the process claim almost half of all markets are set up in a wealthy areas which discourages poor residents and people of color despite the fact that markets are often established in the interest of promoting low income and minority communities but it's not the first time this year the race card has been pulled on seemingly innocent things.

when they planted those shoes there they knew that they would be cutting off this community. well thank you for joining us here on r.t. international about nine twenty four am on saturday here we're back with more of you well here's. hey everybody i'm stephen both test hollywood gun the suspect every proud

american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. though no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country and budapest beat every day americans. and the start to bridge the gap this is the great american to. luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been

a struggle. this man found his own reach and constructed 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. me house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft to someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all there are a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. hello my name's peter and i've been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got in the time but. yeah.

the. i decided to become a real must find woman myself and experience firsthand all the trials and tribulations of tribal life. thank you from what you put them did it was the tribes most respected woman agreed to help me you know she presented me with a red dress a brightly colored shawl and piles of jewelry that she had made with her own hands it's good to. know what. she's fifty two years old and her name's my tour and she has four adult children but i call her mama for short you know when i come in and i'm not like now. mom immediately gave me a chore i had to go and fetch some water. moment with them there is only. you know if i'm sure and i know now that there's

a place where they were issued yeah i'm going to let you know that you know that i was told that it was you. are going to. write a. letter . would look at the mess i collect water from small puddles. left in the dried up river bed for their animals to drink at this time of year when it seldom rains cows miss the hydration they normally get from plants. when it comes to drinking the cooking and other household needs who they must get their water from the well at the launch nearest to the village. despite carrying heavy water

gums act. in the sky tribe a woman's love for her man isn't just measured by the number of their children but also by the abundance of jewelry covering his body but that's why every mother teaches her daughters the craft of beating. children to be closer to the house was . sold to welcome you sort of my mama has gracefully agreed to show me her house it's made of cow dung. but a leg. and that dimple in my mad. and i must know my immediate them and they know i'm in this weird way and that is why you need to nick said well again it's only that they need a small window for only ventilation and you see a real go out will see a lot of place but here they snore interface so they put a small windows because they don't like somewhere back if you put

a big window then you label it a c.n.n. affiliate or yeah so they put a smaller one. to look the dark. with. you for your. own short the but in dollars in your can. only do quite rich more as look. now i think about this in all it's a good listener i think it was not rich was not going to like. what. was going to make the last five people make a speech by mixing special sleep it looks a bit like rocks with cal fire so like yours that make up its.
