institutions the us which corruption has been exposed in the last few decades so the contention it's not the use of nuclear power itself or day aid or help or fresh air or russian technology the issue of more of the location of where d. but the nuclear power plant is that the controversy is more if we should build there because there are strong feelings given the history but in so if i ask operation in this map that we've signed agreements we're very our scientists are very excited their department of science and technology our department of energy is excite that the way we work with the. agencies in atomic and nuclear fields ok well secretary we have to take a very short break now but he will be back in just a few moments.

in the philippine city of angeles when the u.s. military moved out the six tourists moved in. and now a whole generation of fatherless children is growing up in. play dead and within one month a simple simple than an eagle. eye but day is a gem like you like. i know your. son. you. say it isn't the first time in the t.v. crew to see you or takes you for a no don't answer is a little bit now and that it's through your system there. that's it the better you

want my god dang it. they know that. you can take the deal of above that you can't take a little girl to such a woman you know. oh i love the feeling that i did it you did it if it. came to. passe. right we're all set to start in five guys to serve in the studio house a signal. to. the songwriter talk about no place just me right after the mars explorers one knew it would have their. food and record. yourself last week.

well welcome to sophie and tell him so the shevardnadze said today we've got lots to talk about in our program and our gas to move the rock of. kentucky. boys to see the world through st. louis no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal was it showed. that it was love to see these people the survivors of disappearing before their eyes.

i remember thinking when i was younger that is anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. welcome back to worlds apart but alan peter thomas secretary of foreign affairs of the philippines secretary when mentioned the situation in. before and i think it would be fair to say that both the attack on that long destructive siege that followed deep fears among asian countries as well as across the world that isis may seek to expand in other locations after suffering defeats in syria and iraq just

the other day we heard the devastating attack in. indonesia perpetrated by a whole family including four children who returned from syria do you in the philippines understand how to deal with you know how good we are first of all our hearts go out and we express our condolences to all the victims of terrorism worldwide even here in russia you are no stranger to. extremism and acts of terrorism. it was a painful experience you know fighting. your own countrymen and fighting extremists you know it was the first time that there was fighting in a city in an urban setting it's usually outside and sunni they say that you know if there are religious undertones or society or historical differences but here it was just filipino against filipino in the name of a pervert dead. and already you say on the one occasion that there was

a real danger at one point of time. forming from being a battle between terrorism and the. war the danger is there the president is in the best position because he's seen this he was going around the camps already saying watch out keep a keen eye you know it will just take it's like gasoline spread all over and it just takes a spark and he knew at that time that syria and iraq would soon stop the lies and the diaspora and isis would be defeated and where we'll go the couple hundred or a couple of thousands of southeast asian jihadist fighters who joined were will be go how do you think these people should be dealt with because the it's not only the fighters it's also the families it's also the children again the indonesian recent internation example shows that children could also be used as he said bombers well you know. it should be dealt like

a no nonsense father but the firm hand but then open heart you know. no one wants to scold or put in jail or stand in the corner his son or his daughter you know but if you lose your lad these people into your back into your house and you know that they present a potential danger if they are terrorists you know then they are a trip to all nations to people having said brothers in the govt have communicated to us there's need for rehabilitation there's a need to communicate to their families that they have been rescued and not kept sure you know but there's so much to be done from intelligence sharing from taking out the fertile ground for recruitment to that kind of mentality so poverty and crime and drugs put together just creates that fertile ground of breeding extremists and this kind of ideology now you mentioned already did that the united

states and the philippines have just. joint military exercises to build on the lessons of the moroccan siege involving some eight thousand troops from both sides as well as a small contingent from australia and japan is that a sign that your political relations with the united states to be restraint as you sad over the criticism about the war on drugs. is it a sign that that relationship isn't proving well i don't know the term military to military. relation you know never suffered. it is frank friends the detective said that there is an exercise this would be suspended we suspended all of the exercises in the south china sea and with regards to certain aspects of the eight thousand you mentioned today it was more for disaster prevention so yes we focused on that and he's keeping it that way what i'm saying is that if people two people the relationship is still strong military to military relationship is strong and

you know russia and china have never said to us and never interfered with our. relationship with the united states so that they don't have such close the million tires yes but that makes the relationship strong when you respect the bilateral relationship with your friend with the other friend you know this isn't grade school or high school where you if you fight with a friend you want all your other friends to fight with him or to you know you have to have much your relationships and that includes security and defense arrangements now speaking about maturity and leadership present to tears as a personal style his temperament his sense of humor sometimes compared to that of donald trump do you find that comparison flattering. you know they're both authentic speakers they say or do a tweet what what they want but you know in the philippines he's been compared more with president put in political determination political will a vision of what to do in the country remember the problem with the there is just

not only who and what they do in the direction but also the circumstances at home you know it's very hard to judge a president donald trump he's a good friend to the philippines but he is in a political circumstances where there are you know challenge just in all fronts so we have challenges with the u.s. congress challenges with the n.g.o.s who are using human rights as a political weapon challenge just sometimes with the state department but we're trying to build those bridges you know but in the meantime president that there that this is really care who it is compared to you know he just wants to do a good i understand very easy for the leaders to publicly shrug that kind of that kind of criticism and i think it gets to you and when your country's being maligned over and over again it's it's not pleasant especially if you're dealing with some real life but president that they're the best and care as far as he's concerned he likes president trump they have

a good connection they talk frankly but as far as the president that is concerned he very much he's called president putin one of my idols you know so and he says it's none of your business if i like him or not now incidentally president trump also has his own draka down next to tackle and correct me if i'm wrong he has not only refrained from criticizing the philippines over the conduct of the war on drugs he actually sat and praised president for the quote unquote deliverable job joe job on the drug problem does the philippines assessed chomps efforts to dress them. crises in the same way do even analyzed but the end of the demo the president has said that he's very supportive he has empathy he understand what the americans are going through unfortunately the e.u.

the us and western media do not understand that there are different challenges when it comes to drugs. now a president is talking about opioids but in the past it was about more of cocaine and cocaine and methamphetamine have different effects in cocaine it's a health issue with the person but that person doesn't go around raping people killing people raping two years old shooting their father met them fit the means have that effect and that's what they were trying to. do you can counter that with saying that even when you have a mentally disabled person committing a crime you do you put him through an assessment and that's what we're doing but this human rights groups wants to legalize prohibited drugs and it's making it appear there's an even the you end up with two and said there's no evidence that this kind of drugs need to violence so even with the mentally disturbed person you

know identified a dangerous dangerous to himself or herself then just to family and do remedies so we are just remedying the epidemic of drugs illegal drugs in the philippines respect president trumps efforts but we also recognize to say said that human rights and drug issues have become so politicized you know that we're not discussing it in the level to solve it but to criticize each other and helpful. secretary i notice that the war on drugs is pretty much the only thing that the western reporters ever ask you about and i don't want to focus on you my friend that but i do want to ask you one more question on on this issue i came across a poll from last year we suggest that seventy. the three percent filipinos worry about becoming victims of extrajudicial killings and that's about as high as the general public support for the crusade against crime so that leads me to conclude that people support the goal but they're a little bit apprehensive about the math do you share because it depends on the

question in the poll so if you ask do you support so for example if you say do you support nuclear power and you get eighty percent and then a fall out happens somewhere and you ask the same question are you concerned that the fallout will happen of course your answer will be you know but look at the later polls nowadays you know people are seeing that we have safer streets people are seeing that yes there are abuses but this was because of fund abuse of police force not because of precedent that there is this directive and with us now by modern day quick men more surveillance more c.c.t.v. cameras there more assurances to the public that you know this drug is precisely against those who violate the law and those who are violent you know president there has told president trump and president. listen carefully that we don't shoot people in cold blood but what did the american media report that

precedent that they did not discuss human rights so you know they're focused on the form that on the substance they did discuss human rights in a manner of a friendly nations respecting each other sovereignty what would you say to those who claim that they detect administration has been a bit blinded by bass and to drive campaign and overcommitted police and army resources to counter the drug problem at the expense of other security challenges which. could have the situation be described discussed previously in romney well we care about the filipino we care about the philippines and we know that we would have would open up the day that we were narco state if we don't do this so we don't really care that much about the people who has the luxury to provide solutions of didn't work or were given the chance to solve the problem and didn't in order to problem so any country with an existential trap is always criticise that they focus

too much on that trip but precisely why you call it the next the stench of trip it's a threat to your existence so if we don't believe that if we didn't if the president didn't put that focus will wake up one day that the. in the philippines have problems with drugs with violence and a narco state that we've already seen generals we've seen the politicians we've seen hype officials we've seen billions millions thousands of past us in drugs we've saw a cache of cash and drugs in mirali so i think we prove our point that it is a real danger to us and if other people want to ignore it if other n.g.o.s want to politicize it that's their problem but we'll deal with the real problem secretary and forces do we have to leave it there i really appreciate your time very to shape this the fraternity thank you and i encourage our viewers to keep this conversation going on our social media pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here on worlds apart.

plenty. of some full compliment on. indigenous people as you know we that. in. the trees.

most politicians says that only. the kids. out of a sudden the man just. simple be just what. i said i will enter its beginning if they will not allow and. if they will shoot we. will come on million million indeed i'm not i'm not even only menominee been thought to be chubby don't particularly feel me none of them got up i got me to ok like i mean you got me are you. first. of all first out story

of a full moon georgia shows don't get all so diageo at least first thanks. to my custom hushed. the stay at the local. let me. run. around eight hundred eighty. two most rigid. groups. but as the she. was on. a new chain would just look at it would you for me that's. the real is really it's a real. remove if they were. fortunate in that one of the bruising us to me preferred. more little to smile at.

in the stories that shaped the week here in r.t. canada has acknowledged disturbing chapter in its post-war history when thousands of women were forced to give up their babies we've spoken to one of the victims. i asked to hold my daughter i actually had to ask three times and then the last time that i asked i had to yell at man they really want black i started to get i started to pass out and then they took her away from me weapons used by rebels and terrorists in syria have been traced back to nato countries including the us and independent investigation practice serial numbers on the missiles means hacking and spies those are the threats american democracy apparently faces from russia during the upcoming midterm elections according to the u.s.

intelligence community. for that welcome the latest development and a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watch the weekly here on r.t. international. now this way the canadian government in its reports called the sharing is ours acknowledged a disturbing practice dating back to the postwar period when unmarried women were forced to give up their babies those babies with then given to married couples in a bid to promote traditional families some women were even tricked into giving up their children we spoke to one of the victims. as soon as they found out i was pregnant they mark my records b.f.a. baby for adoption. i was a fifteen year old girl pregnant i was pregnant from

a sexual assault. and. there was no conversation with me about how i got pregnant all they cared about was the fact that i was. pregnant and that i had a baby that they could. take. a healthy born haired blue eyed beautiful baby. you will forget the child go home get married and have other children or if not get a puppy. that is what i was told get a puppy. it was a very abusive and there. we were isolated from our right i was isolated from my family is my community my sisters and my parents i was completely left alone.

my parents were not canadian citizens they're there from europe and my parents believed they would get deported if they didn't follow that. what the government wanted at maternity homes mothers were routinely denied their right to see older feed their babies there are still some mothers who do not know when they're delivered a boy or girl being told well it's none of your business to hold my daughter i actually had to ask three times and i. that first i said it quietly and then they started a little louder and then the last time that i asked i had to yell and i had to yell bring me my baby now. and then the nurse stopped looked at the doctor for permission and i was quite surprised that the nurse would have to ask for

permission for me to hold my own daughter since i'm her legal guardian and my daughter in my arms and. and then there were when i started to get i started to pass i started to get i started to pass out and then they took her away from me. i met my daughter she she actually found me. so she phoned me. and she said. you don't know who i am and as soon as she said that i knew who she was. we talked on the phone for about six months getting to know each other getting familiar with each other building some trust she needed to feel safe because our

children were told that there was something wrong with us they were told and alternate story that we were drug addicts prostitutes. of weapons discovered in the form of terrorist stronghold of eastern aleppo in syria have been traced back to western manufacturers were known war correspondent robert fisk identified their origins through this serial numbers and then tried to find that high those weapons ended up in the hands of. this is a weapons factory located in bosnia most likely you have never heard of it but it's here that the weapons were manufactured for one of the bloodiest battles in syria

lots of homes were destroyed and lots of civilians were killed in western aleppo by those questionable rebels now most of those rebels are tied to the al qaeda linked al nusra a terrorist group but let's focus on those weapons that they used robert fisk an investigative reporter was able to trace those weapons back to that very factory in bosnia he was able to get a hold of the factories logbook and getting in touch with the former weapons control director the director recognized his signature in the logbook and from there was able to determine who the buyer was it's a warranty for the hundred twenty millimeter show this is standard it went to saudi arabia it was posts of a supply of five hundred malts as i remember the saudi shipment whoa the saudis came to a factory to inspect the weapons at the beginning of twenty sixteen the response from saudi officials was pretty much a denial they said that the investigation was vegan undefined however their

response seemed pretty vague as well so do you rabia is a leading voice within the international community in support of a diplomatic solution to the conflict in syria while at the same time working with our neighbors and allies to counter the growth of forces of extremism but it's not just saudi arabia the former weapons director says that nato and the united states pretty much run the show at the weapons making facilities or oil production off to the bulls and wars under the control of the americans. who are always coming home and they know each and every piece of weaponry that leaves a factory. we also asked nato for a response but they didn't have any details to share even though the weapons were actually made to the nato standards and they did does not own or transfer arms or ammunition for any further questions we would refer you to national authorities now another trace from the basement of this former terrorist base in aleppo is the

markings on the casing of a missile now if you take a look the first number here this represents the type of missile the second number however is the stock number you'll notice that it contains the figure zero one now that's the nato code representing the united states it turns out that this t o w anti-tank missile was manufactured at a facility in the united states by the raytheon systems company this is not the first time this has happened syria is actually littered with weapons that are made to nato standards and some of which have actually been manufactured in the united states the question now is how much do washington and nato know about their weapons falling into the hands of the very terrorists they claim to be fighting there is a deafening silence a purposeful lack of interest a purposeful apathy and the reason for this is simple the us government and the military industrial complex and the corporate owned media that functions as an echo

chamber for the military industrial complex actually does not care the us government prosecute those who they say aid and abet terrorism well guess what american war contractors are aiding and abetting terrorism but the us judicial system the justice department the long arm of american law enforcement will not be used against the same military corporations which in fact are subsidized receive a form of welfare from american taxpayers every year. resident support mission in afghanistan says three that soldiers being killed in a suicide bombing earlier today. time phasey reports now from kabul. a suicide bomber on foot across a nato convoy in north of kabul in the middle of the city of charcot our area called colors i.e. and detonated his explosive laden vest killing at least three nato service

members according to residents appalled statement three have been killed and three more have been wounded one of the wounded is american and to the rest are afghan police forces local prevention spokesperson confirmed the attacked saying that there are no there's no civilian casualties but it has been a very vulnerable area nearby bagram air base so this bees have been vulnerable because it has diminished your number of the u.s. forces based in there so taliban have been launching attacks sometimes mortar attacks and sometimes the plant or improvised explosive device and they usually commit suicide attacks against these forces but the incident does come just one day after t. suicide bombers hit a mosque in this.
