sentenced to eighty years behind bars for being part of an illegal armed group she won't actually go to jail until her youngest child turns fourteen and she's only one right now less than twelve months ago her life was old very different i was twenty nine when i left i went to turkey first with my husband i never thought i would end up there. within seven months as a good that was living in syria and pregnant with her child she said as her husband had been drawn to islam and a better life. he told me it was safe to go there he said it wasn't how it was being shown there was no ball me he said no war but the reality turned out to be fall morris' than anything on t.v. they lived for two years in the city of topic which at the times was under eisel control than they moved to rocca and she spent every day living in fear.

so even my girl knew she was only eight years old but she could tell the difference what was coming and american her kids explain a fighter jet drone she could tell by the sound of it. where they hiding yes well they either went downstairs or just simply stayed at home i took them out into the hole and we laid on the floor so that any shrapnel wouldn't hit us zagat had struggles to share her story she tries to stay emotionally distant from the past speaks quietly rarely looking into the camera she says she wanted to return home right from the start i told my husband that i want to go back but i couldn't live at the moment i started talking about it we had fights he told me if you want to leave leave but i will not let you take the kids away and you he was able to do that he had that sort of character and i was a freight later on when they were living and rock her husband was killed in a drone strikes. leavings that he died all alone with three children i started

looking for ways to get out but it's not that easy you can't just leave that place it all has to be done in secret there are people that can sell you out trick i only talk to those who i knew well and one day i was told that there was this wrote that there was a way out. that claims she had no way dia the life she was leading would leave her on the wrong side of russia's anti terror laws. i stayed at home all the time i had my children i had no time for anything else i was at home taking care of my kids. she was one of the seven women and fourteen children brought back to russia in the autumn twenty seventeen as part of a companion organized by chechen officials to repaginate the families of men who went to fight with islam make terrorists. i am very grateful to everyone who helped

launch this campaign to save many women and children. but while they were lucky to escape from the war in syria to put a rival in grozny she was detained by police three months later she was convicted and sentenced for being part of an illegal armed group. and while the law she broke is designed to help thwart terror attacks some people argue that family members of radicalized individuals should not be targeted. these people need rehabilitation they need to be close to their family members under the care of their mothers they're under huge dress and prison will not help them it will only make them more harsh i believe it's wrong to put them behind bars for now is that good at leaves with her mother in dagestan she has to report to the police every month and can't leave the region it's difficult for both her and her brother to find work as they're on the official. lease list it means they all have to get

by on their mother a small salary as a post office worker despite all this they could add sas she's just happy to see her children sing anymore little girl i was literally suffering there because i was unable to provide food for my children she told me constantly mom we are hungry they were colliding i suppose and now he's having a couple snaps go off to the merry go round would let's go to the seaside now we go everywhere don't get it now we go everywhere. mommy is hard and so my lovely who say fuck it was you. a question artie dagestan. with the question of how to treat so-called ice old wives proving divisive we debated the issue with august's. the shouldn't be allowed to return home they have left the shift of this country and gone over to fight with. whatever you want to call them and the should not be allowed back into this country what are they going

to do when the come back here you know we've got enough preplan our prisons now radicalized in our yoav if you brick a law especially criminal laws in england and you break it somewhere you can actually charge but that charge has actually to stand in court we are not responsible for the action of their husbands or their or their kids or their son the book. as a terrorist this is not their responsibility their made that decision now to say that they went out there didn't know what they were going out their child didn't know what the door in their ridiculous there was radicalized they have gone out that if the culture that they're in at the moment has a death sentence so be it that's up to them but we cannot just charge anyone because we look we think she what he was she was a wife she knew about everything she cannot make a decision some of the worst soldiers some of the were recruited yes we agree on

this but let's differentiate between an instant and being who is who has been a terrorist and who's been a criminal this is very critical because we want to go the cycle of violence in all of the. in all of asia however in our belts their make their own decisions on life . said so their wives where there was going once you went out shopping once you were not. a holiday i tell you i don't know where i go and i am watching on exactly what was going on there i give an example he tells his wife we go into a trip the whole day to turkey ok this is where you this how we started sometimes we're going to trip holiday to turkey to south of turkey in turkey you're stuck we're going to syria why because this is what islam is asking us to this is what we have to fight you are my wife you have to listen to me if not i would divorce you and you have no papers how are you going to turn back home if you take your word. places like this i need to take you passport away from you how are you going to turn home seriously well that they're going to turn out so i don't want to know why

they should allow me to. think that when i think about what it was going to be the brain would not allow that they're made that decision now to say that they didn't know what they were going out that show didn't know what the door and there is absolutely ridiculous there was radicalized they've gone out that if the culture that they're in the moment has a death sentence so be it that's up to them they have made that decision they've gone out there we do not want these people back here are seriously looking at the fallout of russian families going to fight in syria continues on friday with a look at people still trying to locate friends and relatives who did pledge allegiance to i was told and on monday we showed you the story of two russian sisters found in iraq your financial you can now watch that are in full on our you tube channel.

but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to.

let you go right to be close this is like the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. course it. could have you join us today for this program damned if you do damned if you don't that's the predicament of european companies trading with iran they're caught in the crossfire of a war between brussels on washington over a new u.s. sanctions targeting to iran with punishment awaiting companies whether they comply or not. if you companies abide by u.s. secondly sanctions they will in turn be sanctioned by the european union iran

sanctions have officially been cost these are the most biting sanctions ever imposed and in november they ratchet up to yet another level anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states i'm asking for world peace nothing less the u.s. government to reimpose sanctions on iran after pulling out of the international nuclear agreement the first round of sanctions restrict iran's trade in u.s. dollars and precious metals it also punishes countries that use the iranian reale when trading with iran financial analyst i should be a rise of he says the new sanctions pose a dilemma for major corporations. the situation that's developing is that on the one hand companies would be penalized by usa for doing business in iran and at the same time if they're follow their diktats from washington the potential of those companies being penalized in the european union so it puts these companies in

a very difficult situation but this i think is only applicable to the very large multinational corporation is that have exposure to different regions perhaps the semi sector the slum is a small to medium enterprises that are operating in the european union didn't want to do trade with iran and because they have no exposure possibly with their u.s. market therefore they would be able to stand up and continue doing business with iran. it has been ten years since the war between russia and georgia broke out and came after georgia attacked the autonomous region of south ossetia back in two thousand and eight the russian army intervened after five days of full scale conflict and fourteen hundred civilians killed a cease fire agreement was reached and in fact russian troops remain in the region to this day acting as peacekeepers however the united states calls it an occupation

. our position on the russian occupied georgia regions of a cause here and also south ossetia is unwavering that remains unwavering today the regions are part of georgia they are not part of russia and the united states continues to support josh georgia's sovereignty its independence and also its territorial integrity despite western politicians putting the blame on russia for the two thousand and eight war the e.u. is fact finding mission established that in fact georgia was the one who initiated the conflict the mission also found that georgia's actions like the shelling of cities violate international law and our new documentary called the most tragic moments of the conflict for now a quick preview for you but you can watch it in full later today. i'm not trying. to. soften the gripe you got that this is the power of the world wherever you are.

the story or. the full. measure of what you're here for this you're sort of the solution is putting little sister in this is. a huge deal to be closing down. the chic show all of it does. seem. to last. forever to get you moving plus you. should. eat to. people to get an order to feel well that's a good thing you know i'm going. to go to that i'm out of. here the mainstream media they reported that russia. started the conflict and said nothing

about soccer surely opening fire on the night of the beginning of the olympics in beijing a couple years after the war i believe that eventually the country would recognize that georgia was at fault in this war especially after the european commission came out and said that georgia started the war and i was very disappointed that they didn't. the pentagon has banned the use of geo location tracking applications by soldiers saying they can put missions at risk effective immediately defense department personal attributes it from using jew location features and functionality on government and non-government issued devices applications and services. as operational areas the memo comes after revelations

earlier this year that secret american bases can be found when searching for tracks on the global map of the strive a fitness platform that started in two thousand and seven has more than a billion jogging and cycle routes logged by users around the world a close analysis revealed concentrated patterns in remote areas such as africa north syria and afghanistan where it's claimed it's quite likely due to the troops there keeping fit. has defended its data saying all users have to opt in to be shown on the map the retired u.s. army major general told us such restrictions will only increase in the future. you can take your i phone your other cell phones know and others can track you family members and so on but when it comes to operational areas there are troops or a fighting unit or operating and we certainly don't want anybody especially the enemy to be able to track their location target them you have to keep in mind many of our soldiers have their own private cell phones and to use for personal matters

to family also you have a government issued cell phone satellite phones that are given to the troops in the field use cell phones have to be restricted only from the standpoint of who their are communicating with family and other members i think it's going to be even more restrictive in the future because of where technology is to do it in twenty eight days and the ability for others to tap into your phone conversations or actually through social media or facebook or whatever it may be. thanks for joining us or not international we have plenty of stories still coming your way in about half an hour hope to see you that.

a few have. a brewing diplomatic dispute between canada and saudi arabia over women's rights has quickly escalated in recent days and investors are starting to wonder if trade and investment will be impacted on monday the kingdom of saudi arabia recalled their ambassador from canada officially expelled canada's a bastard or sending him back to ottawa saudi education officials say they will cancel scholarships and job training for about seven thousand students from saudi arabia who are currently studying in canada the absolute monarchy took the actions after taking offense at a statement from the canadian embassy in riyadh that called for the immediate release of at least eighteen women's rights activists who have been jailed since the apparent crackdown started in may this echoed earlier statements by canadian officials including a personal tweet by the canadian foreign minister chrystia freeland that a saudi monarchy denounced kadian statement as quote an. overt and blatant interference in saudi internal affairs miss freeland addressed the spat before the

media in vancouver are values based foreign policy our support for human rights and for women's rights is an essential part of who we are when we speak for canada in the world. when. the broader relationship with saudi arabia our diplomats have at its procedural questions today and we're waiting for answers on how. intends to go forward with their relationship. and today the front line of u.s. labor movements fight for survival in the midwestern state of missouri continues labor leaders there are working to defeat the missouri legislators attempt to make missouri the nation's twenty ninth so-called right to work state three hundred seven three hundred ten thousand petitions were submitted last year to put the law to the electorate on

a referendum being voted upon today laws of this kind effect only impose anti-union policies across the state the congressional research service here in washington found in two thousand and twelve that states with right to work laws typically have lower wages than states with pro labor laws will have more on the outcome of the referendum on our broadcast next time. and if you are a regular boom buster you know we cover the media merger madness all the time and we have pay particular attention to the time warner merger and the landmark court case surrounding it well as we've reported the u.s. department of justice supported themselves the option of appealing a decision back on july twelfth and now they have formally appealed judge richard leon's decision to allow the merger to go forward the d.o.j. which was spelled it out there brief it in a brief yesterday said quote fundamental. symbols of economics and common sense of

been disregarded for more on this we're joined once again by professor story a lecturer at american university and servant of t.v. and radio commentator steve moore thanks for both you for joining us margo to you first d.o.j. was pretty basic and blunt in their criticism of judge leon decision but i suppose they had to be right and what are the key points that they raised as their disagreement in this filing one of the key points that they made was an assessment of judge leon failing to understand how corporations work in their divisions to maximize profits saying he had a basic misunderstanding of economic theory i mean it was a blunt criticism that appeared to attack leon as much as it was going after the time warner merger and i also think it's important to note from this document that was filed yesterday that they did know this has the potential to shape the media landscape for years to come and i think that they were urging caution in allowing

this to move forward saying we need to really need to understand how this has the opportunity to shape streaming to shape television broadcast cable as well as mobile advertising for a long time to come well it's really important and we appreciate you helping us along the way on this thing because it is so critical and steve what's eighty and t.'s reaction to they just sort of trying to write it off as a frivolous what do they say. well the attorney said that they were surprised in the first place that the appeal was made they said an appeal is not a do over by any means and that this this case was decided on the law and it was thorough they also took note of the filing yesterday by the government and said nothing in that brief changes anything anything whatsoever they also pointed to the fact that this is the first time the government has challenged a vertical merger in over four decades so that this was

a rarity to begin with the decision was thoroughly based on the law and now even after losing the go and back at it so he expressed the attorney expressed surprise and margot i mean do you think that'll be the case or is that merely trying to sort of slough it off as not being serious i mean d.o.j. has you know tried to make these particular points will slash time warner have to come back with a little bit more firepower than just saying ditto and what we said before i have to think eight hundred he is guilty of a little hubris here just a few weeks after judge leon's opinion in the case. eighteen tees direct t.v. now streaming service row raised its prices for consumers and this was after arguing a trial that a merger between eight hundred time warner wouldn't raise any prices so i have to say there's a part of me that thought gosh there are already hitting consumers in their pocketbooks here so i have to wonder how time warner is going to. is going to move

forward with this i would agree that they seem to think this is a non-issue for them and that they will win on appeal but i have to think in boardrooms right now somebody is trying to decide how they are going to go forward in file their september twentieth motion of the deadline to file a motion to september twentieth and what they what exactly they're going to address . and margo stephen i spoke not too long ago about the twenty first century disney deal and what it might mean it was a great and fun discussion steve but what margot does having this case the a.t.m. to time warner case not fully locked down i mean decided to go forward but boy if you're a business in the media space does this send some sort of chilling impact or with regard to the twenty first century fox is that something that's already gone forward and they've dealt with it i think the people who are probably happiest

yesterday were comcast executives perhaps that they are out of the deal for twenty first century fox and disney because it really looks like jay was mostly concerned about here was the combination of distribution service buying a content provider so i don't see this having an effect on the disney twenty first century fox merger but let's remember that disney twenty first century fox in that merger deal fox agreed to spin off its regional sports programming in order to fly under the radar of d.o.j. had they not done that i think they would have gotten more scrutiny from the department of justice antitrust division in one thousand nine hundred time warner deal they weren't willing to to look at that and actually in judge leon's opinion he didn't make any any recommendation that there would have been any concessions in that way either so i think other mergers the disney twenty first century fox i think it's likely secure but other media companies especially distribution and

content distribution services looking to buy content providers they have got to be seeing this as a caution definitely you know a caution flag as they you know because i think after june everybody thought anything was possible in terms of mergers and acquisitions and this is a signal that anything really isn't and that justice is going to take a really hard look at those those decisions and those mergers that are moving for. i'm interested in your take on that same question steve but also you know look d.o.j. whether or not they're right or wrong and i'm not an attorney i don't know but they say this could cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars if it goes through and they claim that the judge didn't take all of this into account and so they're going through the appeals process what are your what your thoughts on this well look as you and i have previously discussed on this specific merger the landscape is so different this is not. some kind of monopoly in the making here

that's going to dominate the airwaves and you know they talk about a trial the properties of time warner like c.n.n. specifically being must see must have that's bogus that's nonsense nothing is must see it must have eighteen t is now going to compete with the likes of netflix and amazon if you have amazon prime you get the content for free and google and you tube and every every i mean this content all over the place to think that this is going to stifle innovation and that they're going to be able to raise their prices and do whatever they want and yank their programming off of other distributors and raise their prices on theirs to put it on is just naive if nothing is that important anymore so i don't think that could be further from the truth now as far as what the judge might have overlooked here they claim that he did not allow them to call the expert witnesses and also that they ignored that the judge ignored an eighteen t. f.c.c. filing with its subsidiary direct t.v.

where they once expressed fears of a vertical merger of this kind and what it might mean going forward for for the industry but i don't think this appeal is going to hold water i really don't know all right and margo where do we see this going and what's the timing we talked about the september deadline for eighty and i assume then that there will be a recess response from the government after that how long is this going to take to play out i mean you're looking at months. i think really and that's perhaps being conservative i don't see anything happening by the new year but this is going to be a months long process and however it goes it is certainly going to shake up the media industry and it's going to be fascinating to see what happens in its wake i mean this is i think surprised surprised everyone this summer what's been happening what it what a summer for mergers and acquisitions really is just fascinating it has been we preach both both of you helping us out and learn about it and understand it going forward conservative t.v. and radio commentator.
