the headlines on the international russian efforts to introduce a humanitarian corridor or in syria's eastern criticized by the u.s. with making accusations similar to those during the liberation of. the german chancellor. for the very first time the existence of so-called. owns in the country. the belgian government faces a backlash of plans to make it easier for the police to conduct raids. on the program we speak to a woman whose home was raided after she took in a sudanese teenager.

mid-morning on wednesday. shortly after russia sponsored a humanitarian polls came into force in syria's eastern the us state department slung accusations at moscow and the syrian government. russia is certainly not its hearing to this cease fire they are not adhering to the cease fire because they continue to sponsor and back but shar all assad's government violence of the rebel terrorists held damascus escalated earlier this month with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilians the u.n. security council unanimously adopted a month long cease fire resolution across the country additionally russia was also sponsored a five hour daily truce to help civilians escape the violence in eastern guta however terrorists shelled the humanitarian corridor that's according to russia's defense ministry which helped to set up the route before it was

a time just minutes later a single severely and was able to leave the enclave on tuesday the u.s. state department though accuses russia of paying too much attention to one of the last terrorist hotbeds in syria. i find it ironic when russia calls for a humanitarian road a humanitarian zone you know what the humanitarian zone is it's the entirety of syria not just one little area that russia acutely tries to carve out it should be the entire country because that is what russia and those fifteen other countries agreed to in the u.n. security council resolution united states has actually made a very specific failure in syria and gating the grounds there and we've lost a lot of the ability to speak about that and from now it's just become on whoever's whoever's in charge or whoever might have something so playing the blame on russia for the thing it was their fault because russia had the power they should have known it to tell us to put its forces that are to have militants stop doing that

they're basically saying that russia is now in charge of syria rather than trying to find a solution as to why this five hour or any any hour seven hour any amount of cease fire won't work this is not up to russia this is not up to any one nation it's up to all the nations that are in syria to agree to the cease fire and i think it's just unfortunate that the discontinued pad. really almost immaturity childish behavior i'm a happy us department that is trying to blame russia or some other power when they really have their foothold in syria and ability to do anything about the humanitarian reason or to protect people or comparisons are now being drawn between the ongoing liberation of eastern ghouta and the former militant enclave of aleppo in twenty sixteen. take a closer look at the tangle of violence in these good terms these morphing into lippold two point zero watching the mainstream media's coverage is almost like traveling in a time machine back to twenty sixteen the president and his russian recused of

unleashing all out war against the people of good russia and the syrian government are launching an offensive actually examining this hundreds of missiles and mortars on civilian homes and hospitals hospitals are targets in syria and the regime has been bombing them ruthlessly among all things eased goatees one of the last jihadi bastions just like aleppo it's been a long time den of the nusra front and the likes here's the terrorists flag hanging off the wall during a meeting you need to go to a few years ago and since then. have only been getting cozy of their militias any good to have a record of forcing civilians to sit tight amid the fighting and the worse it is for them the better the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern guta and particularly josh islam are also responsible for inflating the price of

food and other basic necessities there arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and abducting and arbitrarily detaining people. human shields is a tactic favored by all terrorists including those who were in aleppo hardly a surprise that minutes after russia and syria opened humanitarian corridors out of those paths to safety came under rebel shelling humanitarian corridors for the passage of civilians are still blocked by terrorists and being shelled militants continue to use mortars and rocket systems against residential neighborhoods including areas with humanitarian corridors in the western part of aleppo. and just like any still are poor there are no western reporters in rebel held go after all with those groups you never know what you're going to get a story or a price on your head instead reporters shoes are filled by young prodigies that.

this what happens is a shame that our country see of damascus and. for serving is a girl. the white helmets a group marketing itself as a civil defense initiative their volunteers work hard bomb fights as diligently ensues as they have at the scenes of the hottest executive. wherever jihadi factions first they bring their white helmets in tow is like aleppo is no exception whether it's aleppo or any other hotbed of violence it's almost never just black or white but sticking a good versus bad label is so much easier especially when you have some stored away from the last time you've done of. the british foreign office invited the

russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern guta he told us that finding a solution to the crisis is a joint responsibility. now he says we're going to send. you some good stuff but how to get it there because for example the room full of mines you can to go there the terrorists holding the life shields of the people there not letting them out so we discuss what the british you know what the british could do in a practical terms and what kind of signals they could send to the whether it's a neutral position or whatever to the on to people in order to save lives we need the british on board but we don't accept these statements like the russians are guilty for the humanitarian situation we're on the scene both we're trying to do our best in order to release syria from the terrorists let me know plenty of

support for the syrian citizens living in eastern guta on social media with journalist and commentator sharing photos from the conflict zone however not all of them appear to show the real picture as reports. two heartbreaking photos posted with the words this is syria except it's not actually syria one is from mosul in iraq and the other is from the israeli bombing of gaza now it's been raised in the comments that it's not actually syria but regardless this post by some guy in cleveland has tens of thousands of reach we decided to find out how many people here in new york would be ready to reach wieder share this with jury tweet that. i led i don't typically use twitter but. maybe now it just seems sixth like very politically motivated without have any having any serious message behind it i definitely wouldn't i mean. just because there are

horrors happening everywhere and i don't know if twitter is the proper forum for it anyways yes i would and why i'm half palestinian and this is the same thing that's going on in my country interestingly and this is mosul in iraq and that is gaza. so it's not actually syria you know but it's equivalent the same type of things are going on in syria it's kind of just inform and it might not be you know to a t. informative but it's getting the message across that even if these pictures are someplace else it's ok do you think that you by that i mean to some extent yes if you think that it actually it's like taking an initiative then i feel like the pictures don't really matter i think the real issue is scary and sad enough that we don't need to you know misinformed people to have real journalism to have real information and verify you know contact with this be fake news have a fake i mean part of why i don't use twitter is because of the information

fabrication that exists and also has it about facebook for its exact reason you can't trust anything anymore and it's a sad state of the world now the saddest part is that some commenters say they don't actually care what they say people are dying in syria aren't they facts don't matter that's how things are in the post truth world. artsy new york. the german chancellor angela merkel has acknowledged the problem of so-called no go zones in the country for the first time during her tenure in office peter oliver investigates. we've seen an unexpected change of tack among the burkle when it comes to talk of no go areas in germany and a no go there should not be any no go zones there can be no places where nobody dares to go by the zones exist and they should be named and something must be done about it. burkle hadn't previously used the same injury phrase no go area to

describe parts of the country with a high crime rate but that rate has been going up the government's own figures released earlier this year point to a ten percent rise in violent crime between twenty fifteen and twenty sixty ninety percent of which is attributed to young male refugees there was criticism of last year of the way the german media covered the refugee crisis in a highly respected group of researches said this editors acted as public educators and that the whole refugee crisis and the arrival of hundreds of thousands of people was covered in too favorable a light. the

only people who had been talking about no go areas were alternative for germany and they were bound mocked for doing so are common enough that's all guns are lying can you as a woman walk alone on vosh show streets on a weekend evening would you dare will post bozo on nearby streets and then they say and make it look like we are the aggressive ones they say bad things about the city no what we do is look at things. in perspective what we do is simply address facts and facts only ladies and gentlemen. that is the thing in order to secure a ruling coalition angela merkel has been trying to wean over the week after the concert alliance should try to secure that for the chancellor she may well be thinking that taking a step towards the social policy of alternative to germany could help get those

hard line is back on side with peter all over. according to local media it's the bigger cities in germany that are the worst hit with criminals taking over entire neighborhoods it's not entirely uncommon for police to come under physical assault in such areas which are reportedly run by ethnic criminal gangs political scientist of earn a pound seld says some neighborhoods are no longer recognizable. it's not the longer the case that every person can move freely around just as he or in particular she wants because we have neighborhoods insidious which look not like being in germany but like in a different country if you look at some cities like the northern parts of or of more like parts of deuce book like parts of the lean then for some neighborhoods it's really a problem and this truth is not right they'll come but to be frank on this point

we have the same problem arising out of drug criminality but immigration is a part of the whole problematic to. a number of districts of brussels of call on the belgian government to reconsider plans to grant the police greater powers to target migrants a new bill would make it easier to conduct raids on homes thought to how is migrants who have been ordered to leave the country however not all approve of this method artie's start to do spoke to one local who experienced her home being raided . when the new tourist jungle camping calley was torn apart thousands of my quit scattered many came here to process it was meant to be a pit stop instead for many it's become permanent as belgians have opened their arms and their homes to my quince though for some that's brought its own perils

five o'clock in the morning i heard the door. that's kind of a shocker with sleeping in so i wake up with a look and i mean flow in my body and i can honestly know who is it it is of course but i have no idea whether you really are new throughout the day though very friendly and i saw seven men and one woman coming in the door pushing me aside growing her up asking me are you along yes. i am a lot it was a case where three they went into the lobby when the the other side wanted to see if nobody was really had the impression i was a terrorist that something true terrible happened sixteen year old mohammed migrant from sudan is the reason the police came around six months ago he was sleeping rough at brussels maximillian park if police going to park my somalia here only going to catch people basically they. are five o'clock that morning everybody sleep

they all you will see a police or front of you if police see you have a telephone they take you to look for him and just wait there wait there you show us they take you court. because they want they want you feel very bad and they don't want anybody marketing media and so when i came i saw in such a state it was really really you know only sixteen and he was there at least already for two weeks knows where to sleep along this path with some friends and nothing so i sent him home in august last year i spent the night at maximum park it was clear it had become a transit point that thousands had already passed through fearing that a new callee could emerge the government began a program of raids and arrests well for now mohammed has

a roof over his head it looks like the government is making a new play in a bid to evict migrants like him it's due to vote on plans to allow police to search private homes suspected of sheltering unauthorized migrants that's provoked outrage was yet some are worried that while many migrants are in need of aid others have more sinister looted. some terrorists have used fake i.d.'s some terrorists have posed as michael and seeking asylum what concerns do you have about letting people into your home of course the risk of zero there's nothing exists so i cannot tell you that i will be one hundred percent sure that they are not the host of course but the persons of me grounds that are taoist so little. for a nuke hosting mohammed has so far been

a rewarding experience for mohammed it's changed his life how different is your life now compared to what it was just a few months ago city a hundred sixty degrees. a source and like that. every so often now i have family i mean the family and really for me for me she do everything for me i have for a i want to school. i have friends despite his good fortune mohammed says his family back in sudan always in his heart. and i want to. have a lot while there may not be a kind of hundred luck along with a long or not much at all my mother got you know that a lot of us and shot law a lot more than she would have. even ski r.t.

brussels about halfway through the program here on r.t. international still more news to come in just about. all of your heart though you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle they're going. to stop trying to tell you that let me go to the public eye for. one of my eyes and tell you all and i'm quite proud. of the heart that we cannot avoid war. the period of. the flame. engineer the central banks in the

control that they think that they have and the one see start to see this being picked up in markets like the gold market and others you know you've got to start to see it feed on itself in a big one. here in moscow yemen has become the world's worst manmade humanitarian crisis that's according to the u.n. special envoy for yemen more than twenty two million people are in dire need of humanitarian aid and more than eight million continue to face die of food shortages according to the u.n. much of the country's infrastructure has been destroyed on top of that the country's cultural heritage is also being lost.

that the human the whole of yemen and especially is historic cities for example saddam all sunna are in the world heritage list they suffered severe damage during this aggression.

and they know how to use most of the historic muslim sino just with the deliberate all of human this was told that it was a real error rates and severely damaged. israeli soldiers have arrested ten people in a raid on a palestinian village among them it was a teenage boy called muhammad who is still recovering from a severe head injury sustained at a west bank protest two months ago the raid was caught on video by a member of his family and the right took place early on monday morning in the palestinian village of nabil saleh mohammad and his older brother were arrested for taking part in an anti israel demonstration back in december. at the time mohammed

was hospitalized with a rubber bullet injury allegedly inflicted by israeli soldiers he then underwent surgery during which a part of his skull was removed and he's currently waiting for another operation after his release he told us his story and warning you may find some of the images disturbing but when it when i was injured i climbed the wall thinking they were gone and as soon as i looked over i was shot right here. and then i passed out and i don't know what happened. with mckee they arrested me for throwing stones and they hit me while they were interrogating me when i went to the interrogation place i heard people shouting and getting beaten and there were little kids there the officer started shouting at them to confess and also shouting at me. and when they arrested me at my home at three am they put handcuffs on me and my brother then they took us to their camp when we arrived we found the

other four guys and then they took us to the interrogation. they started asking me why my face is like this and saying you look funny and said many things about me i told them i fell off my bicycle. what happened is that the israeli army arrested him and i too am going to put in the way they arrested him was harsh he was a child who suffered an injury from the israeli soldiers and it was difficult for his parents because he was injured and being arrested was aggravating to his health condition and what his health condition remained the same but he was psychologically affected for child being arrested at two am and being kept in detention until two pm the next day without any food or sleep was difficult for him well it's not the first time a family has been in the spotlight his sister i had right there she is an activist who is currently in detention awaiting trial for slapping an israeli soldier a video of that incident went viral with some were guarding her as a symbol of palestinian resistance. i thank you joining us on this wednesday more

news in about half an hour i. am. glad that i do not add up that i know i. live well you know. when the whole make its manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the

ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round if suddenly the one percent. time we can all middle of the room sick. believe me or you'll need to. apply for many flips over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch or the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill the narrowness and spend two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy was great so one more chance for. peace this morning.

from north korea to syria's president donald trump's foreign policy is literally all over the map north korea says it is open to direct talks with washington only to be met with preconditions in syria peace is within view but this is not with the trumpet ministration wants. greetings and salutations. with the spotlight of u.s. politics and media shining down hard on gun violence and mass shootings it's important to take note of some of the stunning numbers and tragedies being ignored or missed by the news media and capitol hill outrage machine you see they build

those things just sit. in that harsh spotlight it's edge sometimes catching the light of day but most often not for the right reasons six hundred fifty murders were committed in the city of chicago with two thousand seven hundred eighty five shootings all in just the year of two thousand and seventeen but did you see any wall to wall mainstream coverage over this tragedy that's not to say chicago hasn't been covered no one is arguing that but the majority of that national coverage was not for the tragedy of losing six hundred fifty lives but rather on the gung ho political calls for getting tough on crime and locking up more young black males. and where as our collective us media outrage over the epic loss of life taking place around the world most often committed in our name the non partisan monitoring group airwaves reported that twenty seventeen was by far and away the deadliest year for civilians in both iraq and syria with somewhere between thirty nine

hundred over six thousand civilians. were killed in coalition air strikes in fact the intercept reports that roughly sixty five percent of all civilian deaths recorded by air wars since the air campaign began in two thousand and fourteen have occurred over the last twelve months you know my fellow you have said to us citizens remember each one of those numbers is an innocent life killed snuffed out loss to our government's foreign policy adventures and taxpayer funded weapons of war now let me be clear no one here is arguing that media coverage of the outrage and political fallout from the park and school shooting isn't important it is but if we are truly going to have a conversation about violence in america especially gun violence let's stop ignoring. those giant elephants in the room and start watching the hawks.

but you get the. real thing it's like. analyzing the bottom if you look. like you might not i got. this. this. week so. well the level of the watching the hardest is always i robot. that's always on top a lot of people will see what happens tomorrow sort of as the are oh yeah well six hundred shows some more than six hundred fifty shows and you know as always but there is a serious note there is i believe a serious disconnect in not only media but also in.
