the fate of an iraqi ethnic and religious minority the despite the fall of islamic states thousands of the code you're speaking group are still being held hostage many of them are children who've been abducted and sold at slave markets. the man would offer us as gifts and in the evenings they would get together and treat the women and have their fun with us. as it gave yeah it was indescribable funny laugh turned into endless suffering tears and hunger i couldn't do anything not cry. according to iraqi officials in twenty fourteen alone almost seven thousand people were kidnapped. why am i so and

three thousand still missing senior correspondent what i guess day of reports on the long way home from terrorist captivity. age ten location. starting bid ten thousand dollars russia nine location turkey starting bid fifteen thousand dollars keenness age eight location syria starting bid. dollars and dollars. age fifteen. baghdad sold put two and thousand dollars d was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she endured horrible things things that new fifteen year old girl or any woman should ever have to endure two

hours ago she was bored back by her family here in baghdad no one called the police no one wanted to risk her life she spent her first hour of freedom crying in the hotel room wherein my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever return but her arrest would be brief as to how she was shown a choice a future. that upfront for. many people who are happy that she's. meeting her relatives took her shopping. she was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down years edis kidnapped by isis they then either negotiate a sale or steal them back their big gun secrecy i don't know if i say that. the girl still in that position on them with their relatives appear on t.v.

the deal will be that they kill the hostages. as such some of the people involved didn't want to appear on camera but the stories. are good and that you get your good to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was. raped for. this. house here where several girls sand eleven or twelve years old who were already. gifted or sold as many as fifteen songs. if not for sexual pleasure isis brainwashes children and sends them on suicide missions or sells them for money. when isis fighters flee to turkey they sell their slaves because they need money to go back to their home countries. you may not know but when the u.s. led coalition and their allies in syria were pitted hundreds of isis fighters me

then besieged graca whose jihad took not only the guns and families but also the hostages and slaves the same people that are now being on the border back of the prices vary depending on where they are if they're in dangerous place you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifty thousand. others is also tracking down in the south and you for one iraqi army has made a name for herself rescuing children. that. she spent her own money buying out several of these kids and never had actually met one of the girls told me the story of her she and her aunts were a nice escape to two of the terrorists watch them day and night to prevent them from running away then the girl told. one of them that she couldn't sleep and asked

to see a doctor. fights or gave her some sleeping pills she kept them then put them in his tea a terrorist fell asleep while she and her managed to escape said the girl was eight years old in the song and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her that let's destroy and run away they will kill us anyway most and they skate three thousand years even these are still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the international community no longer really cares if the these don't attract the same ratings now that they aren't being slaughtered so it's up to them to recover their children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or our guys the odd scene from the hawk iraq r.t. contacted several human rights organizations about what's being done to help the victims of these crimes so far we've heard from the red cross and human rights

watch. the battles in mosul and ramadi and fallujah all over iraq have yielded an overwhelming overwhelmingly large with high amount of missing people people whose fate are unknown the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with the islamic state group or any other party in iraq if they have the right to know the fate of their loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere in iraq being held by a certain party to a conflict. three years have passed the community still vastly displaced in their future a woman who brought back to come from captivity. taken care of those who are still in captivity are still there and there has been all international effort whatsoever

this is a community a single basically within the iraqi community and that will support them with. the areas that are neglected. you have not seen. any serious efforts by the british or baghdad government to ensure that the victim get their day in court and get justice for has been done to them even when some of these men and boys it made it to judgments during the trials against them have been held using the same claims by but you see these are not making the case are not being invaded now they're not being granted real access to justice. and israeli court has extended the detention of a palestinian teenager and her mother after the girl was caught on video hitting two israeli defense force soldiers the court says the pair posed a danger to the i.d.f.

sixteen year old i had to tell me confronted the two soldiers in front. of her house in the west bank an hour after her cousin was hit by a rubber bullet there a video of the incident with a head went viral with some hailing it a symbol of palestinian resistance. then. where the footage shows afeared along with one of her cousins kicking and shoving the i.d.f. soldiers her mother can also be seen in the video heads cousin was also arrested but released after forty eight hours the pair were angry after another after heads cozzens a fourteen year old boy was injured after being hit in the face by an israeli rubber bullet heads father has defended his daughter saying she feels she had no choice but to take action to look at the present. what a photo for the listing there if you believe that we must give the war the throne

she needs to be in the fruit of the sword in the. in the clashes with me. this is what you believe in. for that we. saw her on issues saw that there are moves she would care more the more she warned the leader to avoid them and we request a comment from the israeli defense forces on the girl's case the i.d.f. said she's being investigated for suspected assault of a soldier and also for throwing rocks when the girl's twitter account has also been deleted though it's unclear whether the head herself is behind that move or former i.d.f. soldier or a via spoke says the israeli presence in some palestinian areas is that military level what happened last week and the video that's gone viral with her slapping and pushing two soldiers. is not part of a protest it went much more viral once they showed up. later

on a few days later early in the morning and around. did her a sixteen year old girl for pushing somebody who was without any sort of authorization standing on her property image of a fearless young woman she's sixteen standing up to fully armed soldiers and the soldiers if you notice they come into these villages and i did when i served in the i.d.f. as well fully armed for battle the heavy military presence with in palestinian communities is thirty years old the amount of force is overwhelming these soldiers are only partially trained for doing what are essentially police duties but you notice they are in full battle dress they don't look like police and i don't think that the i.d.f. sees itself as in a precarious position. a tensions have been high in the region since december the sixth when donald trump decided to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital he also

announced his intention to move the u.s. embassy there from tel aviv with a four week standoff between israelis and palestinians has left more than a dozen dead and over two thousand injured. i.

this is the floor it's friday of rage actually palestinians all over gaza strip east jerusalem and the west bank are demonstrating and protesting against donald trump's declaration days right yeah i mean it is growing gas canisters on the protestors and since the morning since that announcement was made. well you can smell the tear gas from here so those terms made that announcement fourteen palestinians have been killed and those figures according to the palestinian health ministry they also report that more than three thousand people

have been injured it's escalating its uprising but that is right the army has been throwing tear gas canisters all the protesters are running away from the buffer is something that israelis have been shooting live i mean a stand out probably it's because one hundred very very very close to where he was standing so. the situation here like it has been for the last month. quite tense and we can certainly smell tear gas every way that you guys that nation there were at least five ambulances that go out and floor are three injuries. austria's new chancellor says it's time to get tough on migrants trying to reach europe story on more after this short break. well don't walk don't you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the

chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop for the tell you the lobby gossip the public by fell. off the bad guys and tell you that you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all of what. we have. doctors here hold never thought about going to care until after year ago they thought the relatives would hate them and relatives loved them and it is so absolutely inspiring to hear something at a telephone call or a person coming action it just had a man in my room most at the same words he says my wife has just died thank you.

welcome back austria's new chancellor says the e.u.'s migrants relocation quotas are not helping solve the refugee crisis sébastien cuts believes the problem should be handled in the migrants home countries rince who settle for europe don't want to go to bulgaria will hungary they want to go to germany austria with sweden they should be helped in safe areas in their own continent the e.u. should support that perhaps even organize it and back it militarily. and there have been similar calls in the past from other european leaders last month french president emmanuel markov proposed military action to help and people trafficking in libya but i guess abu abdullah from the damascus center of strategic studies believe such an approach is deeply flawed. to send troops or

european armies to these. virtual zones i think it's not practical in first of all these armies will be involved in the internal affairs of this country and their reaction from the law people will be may be negatively they will lose a lot of. soldiers first so i think to be engaged in internal adverse of any county it would be reflected on their internal affairs and i think they should read very good the story of syria during seven years they should read the story of libya the story of yemen the story in africa and i don't think that this is a good approach well these pictures show how desperate some migrants are trying to cross the alps from iteratively fronts battling freezing temperatures in often

inadequate closing trying to seek a better life in europe here appeal leaders are now increasingly looking towards the migrants home countries but. believes they are using the crisis to exert their influence on the region you have been you know they are feeling that they are. outside of the political settlement now example in syria they are outside libya they started against libya became not a. player in internal affairs of libya in yemen they say maybe in africa we cannot see that they would be for all is very important so because of the there are trying to. to review their role in the middle east. with countries across the globe saying in the new year each culture. is putting its own stamp on making this time if he is special

the african american community celebrate kwanzaa so it's our engines are also unusual and explains with christmas festivities still underway americans are waking up to find donald trump sending out greetings for yet another holiday today marks the first day of kwanzaa a week long celebration of african-american heritage and culture that's a celebrate the richness of the post and look toward a brighter future it's our static at the start of kwanzaa one is that a holiday that millions of people around the world hold dear as secular celebration to honor african american and pan african heritage and values never heard of kwanzaa don't worry you're not alone according to a survey taken in the last three years this holiday season is the african-american christmas is actually only celebrated by less than three percent of african-americans do you celebrate kwanzaa no i don't celebrate kwanzaa i don't so it kind of. i try not to get too involved with so much hype of all these different

festivities you know anything about the history is it something you identify with i really don't. i haven't really been exposed to much about kwanzaa i actually don't think too much about it i grew up celebrating christmas the thing about donald trump sending out a statement for kwanzaa you know today a lot of stuff that he does it's pretty hypocritical so nothing he does it surprise me so what is kwanzaa what is it all about well the holiday was started back in one thousand nine hundred sixty six by dr melodic harang he is a black nationalist and he felt like the holiday would strengthen the african-american community and resist the white majority i wanted to give black people a holiday of their own so i came up with kwanzaa i said it was african because you know black people in this country wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was american now just five years after he came up with kwanzaa kurang i actually went to prison for torturing two of his female followers now in the media generally chooses to ignore his jail term and. his nationalist views when they do coverage of

the holiday they also still invite him on to talk about it however at this point we've learned that not everyone in the african-american community is a big fan of kwanzaa there is no holiday in the on the continent of africa associated with this set of events this is all made up by a person who when the radicals in the nineteen sixty's the black panthers were operating thought he was too radical for them and he wasn't able to be a part of what they were doing and he helped put this forward as a way of distinguishing himself and trying to build a greater following african-americans have a diverse and rich history but kwanzaa seems to have very little to do with it many african-americans don't see a need to celebrate what they consider to be an artificial holiday kaleb mopp and r.t. new york. people have reportedly been killed in western iran amid

a wave of nationwide unrest scenes of chaos have broken out in cities across the country with the rioters hurling rocks at police and reports of gunfire. ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. how well the local media didn't immediately confirm the cause of death of the two protest as the provincial governor claims foreign influence is suspected that in. deploying we have found evidence of enemies of the revolution type fieri groups and foreign agents in this clash take fieri is a term for sunni militants is. islamic states in this situation violent clashes

broke out in the illegal demonstration in the road on saturday and unfortunately two people were killed no shots were fired by the police and security forces and the goals for this rally to finish peacefully. started as a protest against soaring prices and unemployment and snowballed into the biggest anti-government movement since two thousand and nine later on large crowds also turned out in support of the country's supreme leader although there's been little mention of that in the west. 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 foreign players are involving themselves in iranian affairs and this is ironic because the united states right now is complaining about

a legit russian involvement in the us election be even though they've never provided any evidence for this but i personally don't think that this is anything of 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 toward the government with 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. world is welcoming in in the new year and twenty eighteen has already begun in new zealand and parts of australia across the region spectacular fireworks are lighting up the sky i. think.

it's claimed one billion people are watching on t.v. what i mean calls the most technologically advanced fireworks ever thousands came out in australia and you see them to welcome in twenty eighteen in two hours time the new year will be celebrated in japan followed by china. but more news on the rest of the week stories go to r.t. dot com otherwise i'll be back at the top of the hour with the headlines he then. i've played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. the ball isn't

only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman kill the narrowness and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. so it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so one more chance with. the face minute. i. live.
