2:21 pm
the welcome the latest developments and a look back at what's been happening over the last seven days to you watching the weekly here on r.t. to national. this week the canadian government acknowledged disturbing practice dating back to the postwar period when single mothers were forced to give up their babies the children were 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 about with me
2:22 pm
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 one haired blue eyed beautiful baby. you will forget the child go home get married and have other children or if not get a puppy to. that is what i was told get a puppy. it was a very abusive and there. we were isolated from our mike i was isolated from my family is my community my sisters my parents i was completely left alone.
2:23 pm
my parents were not canadian citizens they're there from europe and my parents believed they would get deported if they did it followed. what the government wanted and maternity homes mothers were routinely denied their right to see hold or feed their babies there are still some mothers who do not know when their day delivers 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. first i said it quietly and then i said it 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 am her legal guardian my daughter

2:25 pm
alternate story that we were drug addicts prostitutes. three nights ago you soldiers have been killed in a suicide bombing in afghanistan it's. time for reports 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 resume. statement three have been killed and three more have been wounded one of the wounded is american and to the rest of our afghan police forces local prevention spokesperson
2:26 pm
confirmed the attacked in saying that there are those civilian casualties but it has been a very vulnerable area nearby bagram air base so this base 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. well the soldiers killed in that attack were checked nationals tech with me from the center for conflicts in pain studies believes a lasting peace in afghanistan looks increasingly unlikely while i think it is realised by almost everyone all sides of the conflict. you know military solution in afghanistan is not a solution to the strike there has to be a political solution taliban is still the largest in the strongest militant group
2:27 pm
in afghanistan fighting against the americans fighting and we have one government and its other internationally but if we see. if a lot of people argue that ok if there is a species deal with the taliban so while until completely come to an end i think it's still unrealistic because you know we are our government here is in our system and here in kabul is that even if the taliban stop fighting completely some of its hard core elements or those taliban that are fighting for profit money well switch to groups like. weapons discovered in the former terrorist stronghold of eastern aleppo in syria have been traced back to western manufacturers were known war correspondent robert fisk identified their origins through their serial numbers and then trying to find out exactly how they ended up in the hands of isn't this militants morton reports. this is
2:28 pm
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 mortar launch oh this is standard it went to saudi arabia it was posed to the supply of five hundred malts as i remember the the shipment whoa the saudis came to
2:29 pm
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 facility 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 they did does not own snow or transfer arms or
2:30 pm
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.
