7:01 am
just turned three o'clock here in moscow on our top story some three hundred civilians who gathered to use a humanitarian corridor or out of syria's besieged eastern ghouta have been left stranded after terrorists shelled the escape route to russia which organized the corridor or says its efforts are being deliberately undermined. deal with the. sports that the militants entrenched in do to continue to show damascus preventing a deliveries in the evacuation of people who want to leave we call in the members of the so-called american coalition to ensure the same humanitarian access to areas in syria under their control including the refugee camp and the entire territory surrounding our towns. should be mute is unacceptable to separate terrorists into good and bad categories specially when that divisions based on their declared goals on their financial backers russia will continue to oppose perverse double standards and assist the syrian army in its final push to eliminate the terrorist threat was

while violence in damascus in the damascus suburb escalated earlier this month when rebel and terrorist groups there accused each other of targeting civilians the u.n. security council unanimously adopted a month long cease fire resolution across the country at the weekend and additionally russia has also sponsored a five hour daily truce to help civilians escape the fighting in eastern gator however terrorist shelled the humanitarian corridor or there were set up for this that's according to russia's defense ministry which had helped establish the route before was attacked just minutes later not a single civilian was able to leave the enclave on choose day the u.s. state department has long fresh accusations that moscow and syrian government over the curried or even bringing allegations of chemical weapons into play is how russia responded to that. i find it ironic when russia calls for a humanitarian road
7:03 am
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. washington's citing fake sensationalist experts backs the discredited white helmets while making absurd allegations against the syrian government which destroyed its chemical weapons stockpile under intense international scrutiny as part of a joint initiative by moscow and washington it's unfortunate that the u.s. and its allies exploit unsubstantiated claims about damascus using chemical agents as an anti syrian geopolitical tool well comparisons are now being drawn between the ongoing liberation of eastern ghouta and the former militant district develop back in twenty sixteen you've done off takes a closer look. the tangle of violence in east good turn is morphing into lippold
7:04 am
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 the accused of unleashing all out war against the people of ghouta russia and the syrian government are launching an offensive actually examining those wires 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 of the during a meeting you need to go to a few years ago and since then new strain have only been getting cozy of their militias and he's due 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
7:05 am
guta and the bit to kill or josh islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities they're 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 big looting areas with humanitarian corridors in the western part of aleppo. and just like any still are poor there are no western reporters in rebel i'll go to 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.
7:06 am
this what happens is a shame that our country see of damascus and. for serving is a girl by. the white helmets a group marketing itself as a civil defense initiative they're volunteers work at bomb sites as diligently in scenes as they have the scenes of. wherever jihadi factions first they bring their white helmets in tow is like aleppo is no exception whether it's good. or any other hotbed of violence it's almost never just black or white but sticking
7:07 am
a good versus bad label is so much easier especially when you have some stored away from the last time you've done of r.t. . while the british foreign office did invite the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander you have ankara to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern gaiter and he told us that the finding a solution to the crisis is a joint responsibility. now did they since is waiting to send the humanitarian aid to. but how to get it there because for example the route of mines you can go there the terrorists holding the life shield the people there not letting them out so we discuss with the british you know what the british could do in a critical terms and what kind of signals they could send to be whether it's a neutral position or whatever to the people in order to see if it lives we need
7:08 am
the british on board but we don't accept the 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 meanwhile the has been plenty of support for the syrian citizens living in east and on social media with unison commentators to sharing photos from the conflicts own however no one of them paid to show the real picture is kind of mopping reports to heartbreaking spoto as 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 tweets we decided to find out how many people here in new york would be ready to reach wieder share this with.
7:09 am
i don't typically use twitter but. maybe you know it just seems very politically motivated to 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 problem 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 this is mosul in a row. and that is gaza. so it's not actually syria you know but it's. the same type of things are going on in syria it's kind of just and for me 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 taken 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
7:10 am
information and verify you know content with this be fake news the fake news i mean part of why i don't use twitter is because of the information fabrication that exists and also has an about face because it's exact reason you can't trust anything anymore and that'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 caleb mop and artsy new york. german chancellor angela merkel has acknowledged for the first time the problem of so-called no go zones in the country peter all of a takes up the story. we've seen an unexpected change of time for months 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
7:11 am
dares to go but the zones exist and they should be named and something must be done about it. merkel has previously used the same injury free no go area to describe parts of the country with a high crime rate but that rate is be going up the government's own figures released early this year point to a ten percent rise in violent probably between twenty fifteen and twenty sixty thousand people. centive which is attributed to young male refugees there was criticism of the last year of the way the german media covered the refugee crisis a highly respected group of researches said that it is acted as a public educators and that the whole refugee crisis the arrival of hundreds of thousands of people was covered in too favorable light. and i doubt.
7:12 am
that. the only people who had been talking about no go areas were alternative for germany and they were bound to be mocked for doing so are common enough that's all guns are lying or can you as a woman walk alone on vaal show streets on a weekend evening would you do it will pause for show or nearby streets and then they say and make it look like more you 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 think in order to secure a ruling coalition angela merkel has been trying to win over the right wing of her
7:13 am
conservative alliance should try to secure that fourth term chancellor she may well be thinking that taking a step towards the social policy of alternative to germany could help get those hardliners back onside with her peter all of our party. and according to the local media it is the biggest cities in germany that are worst hit with criminals taking over entire neighborhoods is not uncommon for police to come under fizzy. in search areas which are reportedly run by ethnic criminal gangs political scientists for an apparent cell says that 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're. neighborhoods insidious which look not like being in germany but like in a different country if you look at some cities like the northern part of or of more
7:14 am
like parts of duce book like parts of the lean then for some neighborhoods it's really a problem and this truth is locked right they'll come but to be frank on this point we're further same problem arising out of drug criminality but immigration is a part of the whole problematic phenomenon. meanwhile a number of districts in brussels have called on the belgian government to reconsider plans to grant the police greater powers to target migrants the new bill would make it easier to conduct raids on homes thought to house migrants who have been ordered to leave the country however not all approve of the method charlotta been ski spoke to one local who experienced her home being raided. when the new tourist jungle camping cali was torn apart thousands of my current scattered many came here to brussels it was meant to be a pit stop instead for many it's become more permanent as belgians have opened
7:15 am
their arms and their homes to my comments though for some that's brought its own perils five o'clock in the morning i heard the door. burst kind of a shocker with sleeping wake up with a look and i mean flaw in my body and i can be honestly who is it it is of course that i have no idea where you really are the north while the very friendly and i saw seven. man and one woman coming in the door pushing me aside going near her but asking me are you along yes i am a lot it was a case but really they went into the lobby when that the other side wanted to see if nobody was i would really have the impression i was a terrorist that something brutal 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 come two but

7:17 am
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 done 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
7:18 am
percent sure that they are not the hardest of course but the process of make runs that taoist is so little. for a new york hosting mohammed has so far been a routing experience for mohammed it's changed his life how different is your life now compared to what it was just a few months ago three hundred sixty degrees like the surface and like that. everything jentzsch now i have formally i mean the family and really familiar for me everything for me i have for a i was all are i have friends despite his good fortune mohammed says his family back in sudan always in his heart are salaam while you are sol they were very lucky they have a lot while there may never have a hundred luck a lot of oil or watch at our mother glow value not that either of us in charlotte

7:20 am
at the moment we've had the period of fake the flame. engineered by all the central banks of the day don't have the control that they think that they have and once you 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 way. hello again now yemen has become the world's worst manmade humanitarian crisis according to the u.n. special envoy to the country more than twenty two million people are in dire need of humanitarian aid in more than eight million continue to face drastic food shortages according to the u.n.

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 is our collective u.s. 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 was somewhere between thirty nine hundred over six thousand civilians.
