historical homeland of the according to the is he is these two specific tribes were complicit with isis and the day that isis arrived in the area these tried to help isis to round up his east turn women into sex slaves and to massacre other members of the z.t. community since then i've spent much time with u.c.d. elders who told me they had drawn up a list of individuals and of tribes and would target them and kill them if they had 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're targeting anyone from these tribes women children men not because they were specifically involved in nice abuses and abuses against these he's but just be
4:03 pm
careful because they carry the name of this tribe according to top iraqi officials almost seven thousand days of the people were kidnapped by i still and twenty fourteen alone and thirty thousand are still missing. the men would offer us as gifts and in the evenings they would get together and treat the women and have their fun with us. because of. it was indescribable for me laugh turned into endless suffering tears and hunger i couldn't do anything quite. as i saw loses ground in iraq belk is will says the unlawful killings and torture of tribe members by use of the forces are another dark chapter for the water and country if any in these battles against isis
4:04 pm
has been to end a horrific cycle of violence and year of violence in iraq allowing groups of 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 with impunity really will spell disaster for the next steps in iraq in any hopes of reconciliation through community it's. with the world gearing up for new year's celebrations birdland has come up with a new way to ensure security safe zones for women are being set up but the brandenburg gate policy this comes in response to massive sexual assaults at the celebrations of the german city of cologne two years ago artie's maria sanaa has been gauging reaction in the capital. just like at new year's celebrations the world over hundreds or thousands of people are expected to flock to this place here

in berkeley to see out the old and bringing the new you can see preparations the current me 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 men 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 possibly involved most of them asylum seekers the new idea of the women's safety area has
4:06 pm
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 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 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. an afro freight but this is this is too it's good because it's needed. in front of many it's kind of interesting that they do it in a new year's as a events because i'd be better if it's like a long long get to like tutor like that they. just pick one thing that you do first pressure because i don't know it sounds a little commercial you know way to really improve these 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 however the head of germany's police union warns that safe zones for women send a devastating message that those who venture outside the zone of vulnerable to assault frank hansell a member of the alternative to germany policy in the berlin parliament thinks instead of safe zones for women its new migration policies that are needed we feel that there is 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 immigration of illegal mass immigration we do have
4:08 pm
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 goal so that's a problem and that 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 on the west bank on friday rioters there are rocks and burns tires as they confronted israeli defense forces while the soldiers responded with tear gas. oh.

4:11 pm
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 land. the trying to say is 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 ottoman 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 and relatives only the alps henri family is buried in this cemetery no one else only el torito tribe and their
4:12 pm
relatives. back at. the. a key suspect in this week's terror attack in sindh pace's book has been detained. for the has the latest the russian security services put out a statement saying that they have identified and detained the alleged organizer and perpetrator of this attack that took place on wednesday they emphasize that they do believe this was a one man working by himself he planned and carried out the attack all by himself and no further information about the suspect has been released yet but we do know that he's being questioned by the russian investigative committee and they have already come out saying that they are going to make a request to officially arrest him on that charge well a man who is believed to be seen i believe we can show you a video right now of the man he is seen entering a grocery store with
4:13 pm
a backpack on and it's believed that this is the man who left that backpack in a locker near the entrance of the grocery store and then quickly left and the resulting blast left over a dozen people injured and some of which are still in hospital unfortunately and in the aftermath the president came out saying that this was a terrorist attack the day after he said that islamic state did take credit for the explosion and of course now the suspect is in custody will be hoping for more information on what the motivation was and what not of course many will remember that earlier this year in april another terrorist attack did take place in st petersburg and there metro and that killed over that killed fourteen people and wounded over forty more and that was one of the most deadly terrorist attacks to have taken place in that city but of course it actually could have been in fact worse because there was a second device that just did not explode and was diffused in time.
4:14 pm
iran has been hit by nationwide rallies both for and against the gazans it started as a protest against soaring prices and unemployment and snowballed into the biggest antigovernment movement in eighty. it is that many in iran are fiercely loyal to the country's supreme leader and gathered on saturday to show their support they were marking the anniversary of progress for unrest back in two thousand and nine however the us is only focused on focusing on the anti-government protests. many reports of peaceful protests by iranian citizens fed up with regimes corruption and squandering of the nation's wealth to fund terrorism a broach iranian government should respect their people's rights including the right to express themselves the world is watching but already we do see that foreign players are involving themselves in iranian affairs and this is ironic because the united states right now is complaining about legit russian involvement
4:15 pm
in u.s. elections even though they've never provided any evidence for this but i personally don't think that this is anything major significance i think the west and western media they want to exaggerate the importance these are protests. that were small most of them were expressing their economic grievances and very few were expressing hostility toward the government or the state and today they're actually counter protests against those groups that were protesting against the political order and they were much larger in numbers across the country but again those were not reflected in the western. and the family of the french aid workers abducted in mali are accusing that doesn't of failing to help with that story and more still to come.
4:16 pm
4:17 pm
be. welcome back russia has had a very busy year in twenty seventeen if you want to believe the mainstream media especially when it comes to sowing discord and interfering in elections worldwide but russia's foreign minister have a few words to say about that in his latest interview. there's all the billboard. but if. we get the goods. off what you're doing you. to reduce the going to sleep when you post what i write.
4:18 pm
you mean you listen to the political news there's a sequel your those are words. we've said you know just about the bill will go go 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 as even if 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 u.s. election absolutely i think definitely changed everything that the public was seeing right now and of course he would never admit 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 being second guy that imus only i knew. he
4:19 pm
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. the son of an elderly french ducted in mali. her family is disappointed how little president mccraw has done to help free her so if return in is seventy two years old back in two thousand and sixteen she was abducted in the city of gal by local terrorists this july she was so in so-called proof of life thirty two released by al qaeda sold her alongside five other captives son says despite an ongoing investigation he's received no information about his mother. to. the parents prosecutor
4:20 pm
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 abandoned due to a lack of results we were establishing contacts to try to trace her and seeking any information to establish with the she's alive and where she might be found so far we have no news nothing concrete be the from the kidnappers nor from any contact persons and also nothing from the foreign ministry's crisis center. over the past five years the number of people kidnapped by terrorists has been rising sharply last year there were almost sixteen thousand kidnappings worldwide of the hostage for to have so it was posted online the french president pledged to eradicate the militants behind the kidnapping however after a year she's still trapped in mali. if your boss will be a little but the odds of today my thoughts are with our compare traits of people who are not on who was abducted in girl on christmas eve be sure that all the
4:21 pm
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 are 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 it must be admitted that so far no progress has been made in tackling this matter. and if he thought installing the latest antivirus software would protect you from being hacked well think again even leading cyber security experts at all not if he hasn't been immune he claims his twitter account was breached and used as part of an elaborate cryptocurrency here's what happened.
