and it isn't just iraq where families of foreign eisel fighters have ended up stranded either in syria there are still refugee camps housing thousands of wives and children whose fate remains on clay. i was so afraid of islamic state because they could have executed me if i try to escape so i had no other option but to stay.

because he husband was threatening me that if i returned home he would apply me to the muslim religious police i stayed in iraq are a few and i had nothing to do except wait for the kurds. but. if i am charged i have nothing to be charged for us i have done nothing wrong . and. i would like to see our cases not dragged on and i hope that the local authorities will be able to handle our problems concerning our patrick to our home countries. in other news the us president donald trump has reiterated his plan to create a military force in space stressing that this new wing of the american military would have both defensive and offensive capabilities. to space for space thank you. that's going to be great look so much is happening now in space and

your great defense i'm not just talking about mars and the more i'm talking about tremendous defense capability offensive capability it's in space so we're going to do that the space force. however not everybody's enthusiastic about the proposed military space program or the pentagon's lukewarm response to the president's plans is just one of a number of signs too that there is a disconnect at the moment between trump and his military as you go to don off explains. throughout his short political life donald trump has been taking an unequivocal stand that he is the biggest ally the u.s. military could ever wish for we salute their sacrifice and we salute the flag they fought to protect our great war fighters the men and women who paid the ultimate price for victory and for freedom. the women of the united states military these are our finest but just over

a year into his presidency the commander in chief has been all but drifting further away from his million strong core right now the white house and the pentagon are squabbling over donald trump's initiative to create an additional military branch a space force. the pentagon was unimpressed about this a year ago the pentagon isn't impressed now is the space force get its procedures we will you know if you're going to require legislation a lot of detail play i mean. we have not yet begun in the past eighteen months the pentagon started through trove of public embarrassment because of their want to be biggest fan for instance this march donald trump casually remark that u.s. troops would be pulling out of syria in the nearest future the bomb shell decision the pentagon was not only unaware of but also disagreed with apparently will become

another syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now very soon very soon will come and i've heard rumors of people talking about the trial but it's not over what is the announcement this week changing anything in that sense nothing actually has changed fast forward next month trump says he wants to deploy the national guard on the mexican border well let's just see. the pentagon didn't have too much fun when it had to take the rap for this we're going to be guarding our border with the military members who are likely to be involved this overall expanded operation so that will all be determined by the requirements that are given to us those two but i don't have any specific details on what support we could provide but they will provide us with the requirements and then from that will determine how many and what's the mission and how many want to play back in twenty seventeen trump went to france where he saw the iconic but still day parade

wow that's nice why don't we have something like this you thought some reports suggested no one wanted the parade but trump had reluctantly worked on it in a hands off mode the due date is just over three months away now the event is reportedly in the early planning stages and it's still unclear who's going to foot the millions of dollars bill some orders trump is giving out of all places on twitter last year he first tweeted that the u.s. would not accept or allow dot dot dot nine long minutes passed before he resumed. does anyone else in this room have any intelligence coming out of the united states government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u.s. military. their job or some

coffee this list of when trump pushed the pentagon right under the bus is nowhere near complete so with the space force initiative the u.s. military's well apparently struggling to get its hands back on the steering wheel he says i but he welcomes the advice from the likes of of medicine and pompei o. and bolton who are all considered war cabinet but he makes the ultimate. decisions when it's time for a decision but when it comes to throwing out ideas that doesn't necessarily mean he's consulted with anybody he came up with the idea before consulting with everybody he made it known publicly and then once he began to get briefed on. begin to understand that the space force per se may not be the way to go although i don't think he's ruled out entirely washing out international thanks me company this afternoon still to come for you this hour the western media slammed the action

movie star steven seagal over his new role as a mediator between russia and the u.s. we'll have a look at that in more detail just after the break. thank .

you so much to. put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. somehow i want to. let you go right to beatrice this is what before the story of the boy can't be good. interesting always at the water's edge. there should. welcome back now a british man who worked as an inspector at an american military base in germany serving the u.s. army david paterson and his colleagues were unknowingly exposed to a high potentially dangerous concentration of the metal cadmium with the u.s. army sending a warning letter year after the job would stun back in twenty seventeen he was

overseeing the cleaning of contaminated army equipment. a couple of minutes from head to foot i was covered in this white powdery substance a bit like talk a very fine variable are not laws we actually started cleaning these boxes were so any truly information. ily any knowledge of the danger of what we're actually doing with those boxes what. well in it's warning letter sent a year later the us army said that skin and eye contact to be avoided and also recommended wearing special protective gear while standing near the contaminated boxes one of the risks was that was that a cadmium covering the equipment could become airborne and then breathed in it is a substance that can cause cancer it can affect the nervous system tim can also cause kidney failure it keeps intel ation may even cause death on receiving the

warning letter david patterson contacted the us army the a reaction was one of the they are treating it as though it was a post dust not. dangerous dust before the inspector arrived from the german authorities they ripped out every case of the fifty cases then what they did they actually got all these fifty cases and then the policeman one era or the sun the wind the rain it was only three metres from a dream which system while unions in germany have reportedly already raised the alarm over the working conditions at the u.s. military base urging the authorities to take action but the army says that the equipment was mishandled in june some equipment was cleaned incorrectly this was done by eight employees in one department we get the boxes civilians we work on the boxes we clean the quitman. we get the believe that we are responsible for

everything why the box is not learnt dangerous i've been there know or was there working for the same god only sixteen months until i ought one most and asked until i demanded that we have some type of action on the spot since i was sacked from m. an equal resources and i am signal to court for a legal sakhi and gross misconduct then we shall talk about your arrests. and the army. we have a crested comment from the us army and other firms too involved in the contract although so far we haven't received a reply. that action movie star stings together has been appointed where the russian foreign ministry special representative on humanitarian ties between moscow and washington although the move was met with criticism in the western media but here is mr siegel playing

a concert in savannah before crimea in twenty fourteen just months after the peninsula was annexed by russia. may be his control of the occasional big stream files of india's steven seagal so much to the russian authorities at least on record now takes a closer look at the reaction to cigars new role. you know steven seagal from the action packed films he both played in and directed but he'll soon have a very different role to play the russian foreign ministry has named him special representative on the u.s. russia humanitarian ties for ways had a very strong desire to do all i can to help improve russian american relations i have worked tirelessly in this direction for many years on officially and i am now very grateful for the opportunity to do the same thing officially to go over sieved russian citizenship back in two thousand and sixteen when vladimir putin himself sets a goal up with a russian passport since then he's participated in everything from charity concerts

to martial arts competitions in order to bring the u.s. and russia closer together and with relations between both countries at an all time low one might think anything to help the situation should be a breath of fresh air but that sentiment hasn't made much headway in the mainstream media and the hysteria hasn't stopped there the former u.s. ambassador to russia even took to twitter slamming signals appointment as an apparently desperate move strange though a celebrity from the west saying something positive about russia the whole story seems awfully familiar. western stars are committing what has already become an unforgettable sin

associating with russia but despite all the criticism it's put them under many people are questioning why it should negatively impact one's profession donald corder r.t. . now we have breaking news here not international because most of the videos and images have been surfacing online showing what appears to be an explosion. in the vicinity of blown your airport in italy police have confirmed the explosion but has not yet named the course of the pictures a huge explosion as you can see the reports from local media though do you claim the blast was coming from a gas tank or this is not yet been confirmed but of course that will keep you updated then in new information we receive over the coming hours so that's how the news is looking so far today here in r.t. we're back with the headlines and more updates for you in just over half an.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth if you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market soft thirty percent minus one is pure some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and that corn rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business so you can afford to miss the one and only fool but.

i. bet it will stop a post to some of us that have a. little say in all of this bullshit. last time we chased an a.g.m. on each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs this is a first offense. for those that they just employ for. is the very we i mean the money. they have this is the this is for me. i like it when. i don't see a porno don't get a make or. break break apart. from that one.

truths seem wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any. get to shake out just because the educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

oh and i think. it's a multinational of a particular kind one you all know some of you may even visit it's present across the globe and on the corner of your street. the catholic church.

with its hierarchy. its communication. and its very darkest secrets. of feeling. good australia seven percent of priests are thought to a sexually abused minors four percent in the united states. we discovered the clergymen found guilty of better phoebe you are still active often in contact with children. nice to internal documents will reveal how church leaders protect priests accused of sexually abusing minors. by sending them from country to country notably in africa. the investigation into these international exiles took us to cameroon. to

argentina. to the united states. to france and to italy. during our travels we established this unprecedented map that regarding the transfers of priests involved in cases of at ophelia. deck a man sits in dig. that up with his offer by a few that lost it on afaik was the one that got into a bang up state claiming that and the victims number tens of thousands marked with scars for the rest of their lives. our investigations would lead us all the way to pope francis revealed how when he was archbishop of buenos aires he tried to influence the argentine justice department. to sunday the. list was d.c. and the engine kept the feet. he investigated the mysteries of the church where on the altar of truth god's law seems to prevail

over that of a myth. our inquiry into the international transfers of priests accused of pedophilia begins in the united states. we're in chicago in the shadow of this cathedral to would just have very unique kind of protest. or it's you know it's not all are victims of pedophile priests. in their hands portraits of them as children when they were abused. in the us sixteen thousand people have already launched complaints for sexual abuse against catholic priests. these

victims have joined forces for the annual conference of their support group smout survivors network of those abused by priests. hello everybody. great to see you again and i think it looks like we've got a bigger group than last year which is even better news so how many of you are here for the first time. thanks to. remember that all of us here are survivors of sexual assaults and betrayals during our youth so if you're looking for an opportunity to share your experience with people who truly get it this is the place. recently the organization is seen abuse victims from all over the world join its ranks it has become the internationale of those abused by the church. certainly it will be here

because of the weather and use is so huge that every day and it was just a child as positive of this they would have noticed but by the thing if she said yes there was another put it in the southern. where you're from so that you are to sure that i'm from germany from berlin and you elicits with a very loose. when there was fourteen yourself about the from the philippines of those years. just. the three years i was fifteen years old i was abused as a team for a long period of time with an oddly priest agreements just can't live in. canada. accounts from over fifty countries. at the end of the conference we talked to one of the activists on barrett doyle. facts reports from victims snap is the only group to been able to establish

a list of priests worldwide allegedly involved in pedophilia cases we only include those priests who have been accused of child sexual abuse in a credible public document it has to be either a court document that's publicly accessible or a mainstream news outlet it's called father she began her work fourteen years ago sorry refuge in the states these activists publish the names and photos of accused priests on the internet to try to ensure they never come into contact with children again. this is just the letter a and it just keeps going and mouthing the names of the so far so all in the entire database we have forty four hundred names to be of any friends names in the least we do have several so father revoir is a very troubling case because he abused this young boy and and mario

innuit boy did report the abuse eventuality with the statute and was fled he in one thousand nine hundred three it somehow spirited him back to france. where he lives safely now that's not the case of his victim who took his own life in december of two thousand and twelve to avoid justice one french priest accused of a sexual abuse of minors is thought to have fled to canada and be hiding in front of the story barely seems credible. we contacted the sister of one of the priests presumed victims. today as he told the league speaks to us from northern canada deep in into a territory her brother maher used to go he committed suicide five years ago he has filed a complaint against the french priest and she has sent us some old photos of her and her kid brother and want to follow revoir will be modest.

he has seen the what happened when you as well as responsible about why you decided you should run. the. cards. do you think madea's was the only story well. i. was. reading.

my. we get our hands on a warrant issued to the canadian police for father of wars arrest. they've been. after the priest since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight. on it we discover the name of mari as of but also to other boys made anonymous by the police with black lines. a girl of fourteen is also among the alleged victims. in all the priest is thought to have abused four children. finally in the top left hand corner of vital piece of information the name of the town where the priest is believed to be hiding in france a small town in the vocal lose where there's a monastery belonging to his community. so we catch the train to strasbourg. that's right because in the meantime we've got hold of some internal documents from his community from the revoir has been transferred several times.

after avia in canada he didn't stay in who is presumed by the canadian police he apparently were next to two of time nearly all and that's where we lost track of him. but after several months of inquiries during a phone call to a priest from a priori were father of war had stayed unwittingly gave us a new lead. which is to say the priest wanted by the canadian police for one thousand years for sexually abusing four children seemingly lives here in strasbourg among his religious community. from now on. we'll film with a hidden camera. oh i want to show who was motioning who and. shit it was that it. was our information was correct. yet all.

the priest is here at the end of the corridor or. you know so you know who can imagine the thought of article on the new phone this is not register it will be only one used save on level one a screw up on a depressant that's the only the story told in the west on a new overtime was a business of luck i guess because i was off on film body to ruin it i wanted to figure it was extra. in the movie live out of well the only thing that she was good sample files you have elevated to struggle of about. sleep and another member in months more. is going to screw norm do not use good week so that he could go shows a. car with him here pinocchio should take him. to the tsunami.

we sure the photo of the young into it maryse time to lick commercials just confirmed. in the winters is a number of us in the city insist the city as i've also got national say about this is you did those even though you don't feel the same maybe the color that was expected as you really didn't want to be good to be caesar was wrong. to be relinquished as a rule. they said. from the minute i said it was it's written there then i don't want to die and you know it was it's no use at all to falsely nasiri things communally was a rush job or exactly the thing just has some sort of scoop. was a bit out of his it shimmers off truly blown off let me papa our school a comical person is.
