8:02 pm
anyone in these tribes has now become a target. there are two tribes these are sunni arab tribes one called into it the other jaish these are famous tribes from the area of singe are the historical homeland of the according to the izzy these two specific tribes were complicit with isis and the day that isis arrived in the area these tribes helped isis to round up his east turn women into sex slaves and to massacre other members of the z.t. community since then i have 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 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
8:03 pm
are targeting anyone from these tribes women children men not because they were specifically involved in nice abuses and abuses against the hedy's but just be careful because they carry the name of this tribe in two thousand and fourteen the year eisele declared its caliphate almost seven thousand people were captured by the terrorist group and three thousand are still missing. little. 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. as it gave it was indescribable funny laugh turned into endless suffering tears and hunger i couldn't do anything not quite. because we'll who you heard earlier told
8:04 pm
us that the cycle of revenge killings in iraq is damaging hopes of restoring peace in the and even in these battles against isis has been to end a horrific cycle of violence and year of violence in iraq and 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 with impunity really will spell disaster for the next steps in iraq in any hopes of reconciliation community it's. two people have reportedly been killed in western iran amid a wave of nationwide unrest chaos has broken out in cities across the country with rioters hurling rocks at police and reports of gunfire as well and the law. was.
8:05 pm
was was was. it started as a protest against soaring prices and unemployment and snowballed into the biggest anti-government movement since in two thousand and nine but later on large crowds also turned out in support of the country's supreme leader in spite of that though the u.s. is only 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 brooch. iranian government should respect their people's rights including the right to express themselves the world is watching but already we do see that
8:06 pm
foreign players are involving themselves in iranian affairs and this is ironic because the united states right now is complaining about legit russian involvement in the us 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 the western media they want to exaggerate the importance these are protests. that are that were small most of them were expressing their economic grievances and very few were expressing hostility towards the government or the state and today there are actually counter protests against those groups that were protesting against the political order and they were much larger and numbers across the country but again those were not reflected in the west from. within the world gearing up for new year's celebrations berlin has come up with a new way to ensure security safe zones for women are being set up at the
8:07 pm
brandenburg gate party this comes in response to massive celebrations in the german city of cologne two years ago where there were sexual assault charges and mass now artie's more of a national has been arguing excuse me she has been arguing anything she's been gauging reaction in the capital sorry but. 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 on to go in but 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
8:08 pm
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 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 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
8:09 pm
a freight but this initiative it's good if because it's needed. in front of many it's kind of interesting that they do it in a new year's as an event it's because i'd be better if it's like a long long get to like tutor or like the big. artistic want think that you do it first pressure because i don't know it sounds that 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 barreling. the head of germany's police union has warned of the safe zones for women sends a devastating message to those who venture outside those zones and frank hansal from the alternative for germany party believes it is actually new migration policies are needed. we feel that there is
8:10 pm
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 mass immigration we do have we have to count and see who the people 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 all 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 palestinian was killed and dozens more injured during clashes with israeli soldiers on friday crowds took to the streets in the west bank and gaza as well.
8:11 pm
i. israeli military retaliated after rockets were fired from gaza although no casualties were reported last writing has become a weekly occurrence in the us recognized jerusalem as israel's capital earlier this month. and jerusalem is it just one of many bitter 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 on state owned land but he claims the land belongs to him. he is a. village elder in. southern israel better and tribes had settled there long
8:12 pm

8:13 pm
it will take years until this fighting ends they are looking to push us they will compromise and will give this land to the state. he my you 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 right stance 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 al tory family
8:14 pm
is buried in this cemetery no one else only al turi tribe and their relatives. live with. the family a very french aide worker abducted in mali is accusing their government of failing to help that story still to come out international. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be that's. actually going to be press that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should.
8:15 pm
be. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than the blue. sea people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank take. me seriously send us an e-mail. and welcome back this is international so a key suspect has been arrested following
8:16 pm
a supermarket bombing in the russian city of st petersburg volga that's 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 as of 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's seen entering a grocery store with 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
8:17 pm
the aftermath of president putin came out saying that this was a terrorist attack the day after he said that islamic state did take credit for at the explosion and of course now the suspect is in custody we will be hoping for more information on what the motivation was and what not of course many will remember that earlier this year and 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. russia has had a very busy year in two thousand and seventeen this is if you were to completely believe the mainstream media this is especially when it comes to sowing discord and interfering in elections worldwide russia's foreign minister a few words to say about that in his latest interview took a look. there's all the billboard so each.
8:18 pm
of what. we. often what you're doing you. know that you post what i write. you mean you listen to the political news there's a simple use your words. which is the group of we've said the oldest 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 this is a bit of i didn't know that i knew that it was actually a video. but
8:19 pm
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 would never meet 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 being sarcastic i miss him already i knew . he was being sarcastic ok that makes much more sense if 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 aid worker abducted in mali says the families. disappointed by how little president has done to help
8:20 pm
free her so if he is seventy two years old back in two thousand and sixteen she was abducted in the city of by a local terrorists it was july she was shown in 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 has received no information about his mother nor. the parents prosecutes it was an urgent investigation that his stools we're now trying to find new materials to restart so that it will be a balance indeed to a lack of results we're establishing contacts to try to trace and seeking any information to establish with the she's alive and when 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 people kidnapped by terrorists has been rising sharply
8:21 pm
last year there were almost sixteen thousand cases worldwide after hostage footage of sophie was posted online the french president pledged to eradicate the militants behind the kidnapping however after a year where both ballots are still known. you should also look on but the odds of today my thoughts are with our competitor it's a free press one on who was abducted in girl 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 and 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
