given rights watch claims that fifty two iraqi civilians were executed by use e.-d. fighters as revenge for supporting myself we talked to the group about alleged without killings. but lynn is setting up a safe sos for women for the new year's eve celebrations to prevent a repeat of the mass sexual assault seen previously in cologne to me it sounds it's a bit like i'll leave the set up it's a good idea it's needed. in front of me. and i'll say meet a better one tribal leader who insists on staying on alleged ancestral lands despite israeli officer it is blocking his village more than one hundred times.

like a partridge and you're watching the latest headlines here at r.t. international thank you for joining us. in a report by human rights watch claims cd fighters kidnapped and executed fifty two civilians from two iraq a triumph in june is e.d.s. are an ethno religious group which abide by their own moral code witnesses claim yazidi forces killed men women and children who were fleeing fighting between islamic state and government backed forces the victims were from tribes that had reportedly sheltered and helped i so militants. from human rights watch told us that anyone in these tribes has now become a target there are two tribes these are sunni arab tribes one called. the other these are famous tribes from the area of sea enjoy the historical homeland of the according to the israeli these two specific tribes were complicit with eyes. and

the day that isis arrived in the area these tribes helped isis to round up easy to use turn women into sex slaves and to massacre other members of the community since then i have spent much time with you see the elders who told me they had drawn up a list of individuals and of tribes and would target them and kill them if they have the chance heard of incidents where or what is now a group of u.c.b. fighters you see the militia empowered on the payroll of the baghdad government that has targeted members of these two tribes but what we understand is that they are targeting anyone from these tribes women children men not because they were specifically involved in nice abuses and abuses against the c.d.'s but just be care because they carry the name of this tribe according to top iraqi officials almost seven thousand people were kidnapped by iso in twenty fourteen alone and three

thousand are still missing. a. little of. the men would offer us and skiffs in the evenings they would get together and treat the women and have their fun with us. because it gave it was indescribable funny laugh turned into endless suffering tears and hunger i couldn't do anything that quite. so i salute his ground in iraq says the unlawful killings and torture of tribe members by using the forces are another dark chapter for the war torn country. even in these battles against isis has been to end a horrific cycle of violence and year of 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 and i'm going to torture and execute with impunity really will spell disaster for the next steps in iraq in any hopes of reconciliation community is. what the world gearing up for a new year celebrations beilin has come up with a new way to ensure security safe signs for women are being set up at the brandenburg gate policy this comes in response to a mass sexual assault celebrations in the german city of cologne two years ago marie if an ocean has been gauging reaction in the capital just like at new year's celebrations the world over hundreds of thousands of people are expected to flock to this place here in berkeley to see out the old and ringing the new you can see preparations are currently undergoing 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 guess 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 a 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 reportedly 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 and. having this service is kind of nice i think sexual harassment was people who

were in groups and you were so how do you get from here to the safe place i mean. it seems a bit farfetched 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 like oh man i feel afraid but this is this is too it's good to feel good because it's needed. in front of nearly it's kind of interesting that they do it in a new year's events because i.d.e.o. be better if it's like a long long get to like two or like the big not just like one think that you do first pressure because i don't know it sounds a little commercial you know way too 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 berlin. frank council a member of the a.f.d. party in berlin's parliament thinks instead of safe zones for women it's migration policies that need rethinking we feel that it's a new step of. danger coming into our country we've seen it since we have to already build vols 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 migration of illegal mass immigration we do have we have to count and see who the people are who came to our country 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 go so that's a problem and i think this is. not

a good sign for the new year to come. one protester has died and dozens more were injured after thousands of palestinians clashed with israeli forces in gaza and the west bank on friday rioters threw rocks and burned tires as they confronted israeli defense force troops or soldiers responded with tear gas. the. the thought was the. horror. the. the. the if. one demonstrator died in hospital and dozens were treated by paramedics the israeli military retaliated after rockets were fired from the gaza strip although no casualties were reported mass demonstrations have become a weekly occurrence since donald trump recognized jerusalem as israel's capital on

december the sixth. well jerusalem is just one of many better land disputes in the area and israeli court has sentenced a sixty eight year old bedouin man to ten months in prison and fined him more than ten thousand dollars for trespassing when he claims the territory in question belongs to him. is a village elder in our in southern israel they do in tribes have settled there long before the state of israel was proclaimed israeli authorities claim the tribes occupy the land illegally and have sent in riot police and bulldozers to demolish the village whenever it's rebuilt so far they've leveled it more than one hundred times artie's paullus near reports i'm hearing the northern may give desert where there isn't much except a few dozen and recognized bedwyn villages this is one belonging to the to retry but there are some two hundred fifty people who live here and they say that this land is the is going back generations. the israeli authorities insist they here

illegally. it will take years until this fight ends they're looking to push us so we'll compromise and we'll give this land to the state. he 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 land. the tribes says they've lived here for seven hundred and fifty years. this document is from nineteen zero five in the autumn an era 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 from 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 family is buried in this cemetery no one else only al torrey tribe and their relatives. that. russia has had a very busy year in twenty seventeen if you want to believe the mainstream media especially when it comes to selling discord and interfering in elections well wind but russia's foreign minister had a few words to say about that in his latest interview. there's also a billboard for the edge.

of what. we were at the guts to close. off what you're doing you're. going a step and you post. the manuals and the political. people which is. which is the group that we've said you know just about the bill will go go go. so did you hear that russia's foreign minister actually admitted to meddling in elections around the world i don't pay attention to this enough i did no no that is actually a video. to. 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 u.s. election absolutely i think definitely changed everything that the public was seeing right now and of course he would never meet if they did anyway right it's quite surprising that he would admit something like that 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 god i miss him already i knew. he was being sarcastic ok much more sense you're saying he's joking yeah it 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. now if you saw it in story in the latest antivirus software would protect you from being hatched and think again even leading

a cyber security expert john mcafee hasn't been immune he claims his twitter account was breached and used as part of an elaborate cryptocurrency scam is what happened. can who. has been notified of the day tweet was not me.

well john mcafee is the creator of the popular mcafee anti-virus software is also behind a wide range of other cyber security products well we spoke to him about his own online security woes and his take on the rise of cryptocurrency. we live on a number of people are large areas of telephone terrorist around twitter my followers hacked through my character eighteen prior to being hacked my phone was totally disabled you couldn't call into an hour from it they sent it to my phone number a special code so that i could get in but it wasn't me it was the hacker. this is something totally out of my control totally out of everyone's control what happened to me is not a threat there's a great threat to all mind this is a great threat to our. crypto currency most people do not change 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 terrorists are becoming more

and more efficient and more sophisticated in their hacking techniques this is going to happen to me and promised they can happen to have more. coming up russian gas arrives in britain for the first time on drug new energy dale more on that after the break. it is the big countdown the ball is going to drop here starting resolutions will be created it's all so very exciting let's.

we have. doctors here who never thought about it but we took care until after year ago they thought relatives would hate them and relatives loved them and they just. absolutely inspiring to hear something at a telephone call or a person coming actually i just had a man in my room at the same words. my wife has just died thank you. welcome back the son of an elderly french aid worker abducted in africa say they are disappointed how little president my crew has done to help free sophie pitts is seventy two years old i can twenty sixteen she was abducted in the city of.

terrorists this year in july she was shown in a so-called proof of life footage released by al-qaeda and showed her alongside five other captives her son says despite an ongoing investigation he's received no information about his mother. to. usually the paris prosecutor ordered an urgent investigation but it has stalled we are now trying to find new materials to restart it so that it won't be apparent in due to a lack of results we're establishing contacts to try to trace her and seeking any information to establish where the she's alive and where she might be found so far we have no news nothing concrete be the from the kidnappers not from any contact persons and also nothing from the foreign ministry's crisis center. over the past five years the number of those kidnapped by terrorists has risen sharply last year there were almost sixteen thousand kidnappings worldwide after hostage footage of her was posted online the french president pledged to eradicate the militants behind the kidnapping however after

a year so if he's still in mali. if your boss will be a little but the odds of he did today my thoughts are with our competitor it's a free piece of anon who was abducted in girl on christmas eve be sure that all the resources of the state are being mobilized to foreign 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 have being supported but 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 in must be admitted that so far no progress has been made in tackling this matter. the first ship carrying russian gas has reached the u.k. under

a new energy deal but the liquefied natural gas is produced by a company which the u.s. has put on its sanctions list in a move strongly supported by london at the time the first round of washington sanctions was imposed in twenty fourteen in response to russia's alleged military invasion of ukraine but the us has always been critical of russia's gas supplies to europe american officials claim russian supplies undermine the continent's energy security with moscow using fuel supplies as a foreign policy till and it's a view that britain has supported we have seen how countries such as putin's russia used tear gas supplies as a tool of foreign policy threatening to cut off supplies or drastically increase prices 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 however the end of twenty seventeen has seen the u.k. out in the cold and in need of russian gas and started around three weeks ago when

the man. important pipeline to britain was shut down due to a crook then one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a sharp rise in gas prices and britain has faced an unusually cold winter with blizzards and freezing temperatures or oil and gas expert man do salama says britain has foregone foreign policy for cheaper russian fuel why is the european new york. but if them sub borked you are sanctions when it comes to their own lives they. put aside all share of the sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the united kingdom now russia is very liable liar so i think that will continue of course the united states would like to be able to to use europe as the bandits or russia or russia or you but

they come out very might try through sanctions doing greaves their supply of really to you of what it will not worth because very can be is far more expensive than russian jazz. two professors from san diego state university claim farmers markets in the u.s. contributes to the oppression of that country's minorities the professors claim almost half of all markets are a catalyst of gentrification and that this leads to exclusion of poor and long term residents and people of color and also reinforce consumption habits of white people once despite markets often being established to help promote lower income and minority communities and isn't the first time this year the race card has been played on apparently innocent issues.
