i was planning on trying to build a team these. thousands of civilians fled to russia but not everybody managed to get there. many were killed on the way. the s.n.c. in this one capable of defending themselves on their own against the will to train georgian army people died instantly. the peacekeepers were surrounded and couldn't help. russia launch the operational force in georgia to peace the military were fighting their way through to relieve. back oh georgian kristen michel saakashvili claimed russia had a tank georgia my country soon sold if i was against russian aggression russian russian troops invaded georgia they've been bombing georgia from numerous warplanes and specifically targeting civilian population and did you take a gamble your government largest its own attempt to retake so sasha we didn't that

. we didn't have the morning of the eights my wife calls me and says that they bombed a couple hundred meters away from her mother's house i remember. i was actually crying and afraid and thinking that if anything happens to my family i'm going to kill saakashvili. and i meant that we met jim mistress ten years ago he's an american who lives in florida his wife john is a sense young in august two thousand and eight she and her daughter were on holiday at his parents' place in south ossetia so says it's got nothing to say says out these divinest it is a good day devolution. of the blue let those of us in it would. be enough standish to hold the yes or. no answer.

this is a serious. side surely said. george. later you find out through the european commission that in fact it was georgia that is to say it was not a fear of 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 i talked to many people i've posted many things on the internet and letting people know the truth about what really happened and now i. am very carefree if i'm wrapping up the house and rain too much and in mt bing proof rags maybe it's. an armor much of it but i know that i wouldn't want to sleep alone there's this one window in my room they sleep in there is like

a crack in them but i would i would remember oh that's from the war center was afraid she was saying she was afraid that the suction really was going to be there and he was in the soldiers have to us every year when we went back for several years she had those feelings. couple years after the war i believe that eventually other countries would learn to recognize that georgia was at fault in this war especially after the european commission came out and said that georgia started the war. i thought for sure that other countries would follow suit with russia to recognize the independence of south said and i was very disappointed that they didn't.

you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to a guest in the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then .

people have to understand that when you're attacked so many crimes brutally attacked in people murdered can you expect a republican to go back to those people over law which. you can't. just some fresh out of the sampson that they shared more system not use of class not. among the holiday home but them moshiach don't get i don't get a moment. can we didn't the normal. first system the people to all men. who both the stem. you want to rule the. more you know this is the day or so or here was you know it all changed i thought it was and i forgot all cormac i got it down and we were going to go over your door

no no forty times through you know you know. the last sadistic lisette of ted on the way to must see must share jimmy smith oh my i just stand there you know if you're going to go after a fish the. wrong thing on your. nose dougal to the nub. of the five eight men that shot as soon as it. started carry a member of our own to give the payee just said it was better to send a little sheep back i guess i don't stuff. but i. still resist somebody who. doesn't read later related what happened the son had found out that his parents had

been captured and he came to rescue. it took the russian army a few days to force the georgians to retreat many georgians who had been living in a city or left for georgia with the military. resolution as is true. the must or it will not hold a good resist is really where usually only two of us are very. costly when you are nice and. we fully established freedom of. specialization. is reversed through well as research research research. sarah varney in georgia was billed as a special refugee settlement for those who came from south to set a year cookie cutter houses accommodate two thousand people most center of only

resistance referred to south asia as occupied territory for them it's georgian land . elnora fled to georgia with her children her house was burned down so she's got nowhere to go back to elnora's granddaughter was born in sara vonnie she's never been to south or setia and only heard about it from her grandma . down there thought is good to. know. there is a toll road gone or the hotel there are many dying. maunder die tell us of their local laws. i saw right a reality star projector and mom my dad the. salvos dad just died down after our. last call of the more mocked as.

nice as your day that it had gone i sat on my normal retort of a. notorious guard attitude. and they are you to be married and i shall have a mark around. the country dover to its grotesque death bed near it well in the last men who seek you will see him opportunities as i did all gone i regard it as a duo that's gone and i'm sure they were going to double double never will not and just outlived a chance with a tragic mound as that is secretarial sarkar so as we each as our course or carter is horrid and most of you are no doubt well are a lot of illiteracy i doubt it or reality secretary was so larry. but you go it was to be no longer a star thing going to. be. read you know not with enough you know which i got there

is. an issue of more that i'm a little bit in. the construction of this fence between georgia and south the sense here started straight after the war however the border line hasn't been fully fenced. for russian border guards to be stationed along the border to help with security. just. listening to any sort. of you know show. that. there is no thought of we no. longer in useful. the.

mystery of. the borderlines were defined by rather old maps which just didn't reflect current reality in the border called the village and so some of the inhabitants remained in south ossetia while twenty two people found themselves living in no man's land. since then they've been living between two checkpoints they're not allowed into georgia and they need a special pass to enter south of. this border checkpoint has been set up specially for them. off which is great. if that is true this is the. this was less school to both exist visions of them to school with and. you know she. was fired from.

her on this. group says the rules of the sea. the nuns did blue sky. will tilt. people's. all of this up us there's a view on me. being the. fullest. must see. i need to see us. done the moment when you. need me revved up and they see. those stranded in no man's land have been promised that they'll be allocated new houses and be moved to south essential. promise was given the six years ago when

the fence was built that. eighty percent of the buildings in skin vol were destroyed during the war. and school was also badly damaged ten years ago it seemed to us the to be impossible to rebuild the place. that. followed. so when. today much of it was just pulling to the school system in. the region no move to a special school.

but this. last. trip. to most british. troops some soon. will bust in the really. loose issue sports unit complex felt. as a child was fascinated by clay mortally he used to make models of animals and superheroes . as he grew older he didn't abandon his hobby even though he graduated last year they still keep his models on display not the ones he made as a child but his most serious work. here's your officers. he says

in part of. the whole. truth. as you just heard him. shortly. our skirts but little seeing. a trip. through the. city. luigi doesn't importantly school his mistress no school or food just. center has really changed. most of the buildings were reconstructed but me. were torn down and rebuilt from scratch. russia helped to rebuild the destroyed republic and was the first nation to

recognize south independence. russia now helps to keep the peace. a military base was built in skin involved. in the medical corps. and i mean it's you know i mean. fulfilling. the. thing. for the most of us you know.

but the crew for school. when sure a note was hiding with her son in the basement of a maternity home the georgian army entered her village. children as husband went off to fight and her parents were left alone in their house because over the summer would you see has come over for some messages very gracious birdman most of them wishing word out who are hundreds of. other times those emotional times have all at . charlestown douches stuff i'd forgotten to. be told them more the more hinged told us their knowledge of g.-d. . sharin as husband died shortly after the war so arsène has no memory of his dad

share in a remarriage and gave birth to a daughter and another baby's on the way. the family's poor so awesome makes his own toys his favorites are a wooden machine gun and a sniper rifle the one zero zero zero marcus in space he knows how. to measure but really children are boys. in the. house a small don't know who in the us they visit. could not process. the truth that with children just. around the.

chose seemed wrong when old rules just don't hold. any new world view yet to shape out just becomes the adjective and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. one of.

washington announces new sanctions against russia over the script poisoning case accusing moscow of using a biological weapon but once again present no where the. u.s. senate asked to interview the head of wiki leaks on alleged russian meddling in the trying to fix the election julian assange has been paid to deny had anything to do with the election related documents the brits posed by wiki leaks. and social media giants are accused of silencing debate after twitter suspend several prominent libertarian and conservative figures for alleged hate speech. we meet a woman who faces a lengthy jail term for terrorism the following as been to syria where he joined

islamic state. thanks for joining as you're watching r.t. international. we start this hour with breaking news because the united states is unveiled new sanctions against russia over the poisoning of double agent and his daughter in the u.k. in march of this year the new penalties are expected to come into effect around august twenty second according to the state department and some serious accusations have been thrown in moscow. the united states on august the sixth twenty eighteen determined under the chemical and biological weapons control and warfare elimination act of nine hundred ninety one that the government of the russian federation has used chemical or biological weapons in violation of international law or has used lethal chemical or biological weapons against its own nationals.

american is our correspondent in washington d.c. samir what do we know at this point about these new sanctions. well the so-called russian puppets new sanctions against russia will come in two rounds now the first round will limit financing and exports of banning licenses to export national security goods but the second round of sanctions that's due in three months or so could affect hundreds of millions of dollars in exports and if imposed will cut diplomatic ties to russia and all arrow flights to aeroflot flights to and from the u.s. and stop all imports and exports according to reports however the second round of sanctions will not be imposed if russia provides assurances that it will stop using chemical weapons and commit to on site inspections by the u.n. but what this ultimatum says is that russia does not have the luxury to pursue and innocent until proven guilty russia has already been implicated in the crime but

here is also something to keep in mind about the ultimatum last october the u.n. verified the destruction of russia's chemical weapons and through on site inspections and also confirm that all of russia's chemical weapons facilities were closed so yeah it looks like the u.s. will be a sanctioning russia for allegedly using chemical weapons the u.n. says it doesn't have i think something of the viewers will find interesting is that the u.k. government was unable certainly up until this point to produce any evidence to confirm a link between the poison and russia to find any link between the boys in an origin country does this mean these latest sanctions mean that the u.s. of mind to do what the u.k. couldn't. well at this far there's been no evidence implicating russia so not sure what the us is doing exactly but this all began when a former double agent and his daughter were poisoned back in march another chop was determined to be the agent used and immediately the u.k.

and the rest of the western world almost instinctively blamed russia because the agent was originally developed in the u.s.s.r. but since ninety one it's been developed in several other countries now russia has denied any involvement and has even offered to cooperate in a full investigation but the o.p.c. w. and porton down the british laboratory that analyzed the samples could not identify the source or country of origin as in russia can be implicated. no verify the precise source so typically do not tell you to look cool down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that. not as analysis. p.c. w.'s repeat what i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack it also comes at a very interesting time senator rand paul at hand delivered

a letter from president trump to president putin to apparently a strength in bilateral relations so we're just going to have to wait and see how russia react to this and what the global response will be many thanks americans our correspondent there in washington with the latest. bring in a guest now to speak to us and said he's the executive vice president of the races center good to have you all know we have heard the details very early stage information at this point about these latest sanctions what do you think the u.s. is actually hoping to achieve through implementing these. i'm. a good question i'm not sure and why is the u.s. taking the lead on this versus the u.k. . we already know there's no evidence we've already had a p c w an important down says if there's they cannot identify the source. there's still a work going on. i think we need to look at things from

a much greater geo political situation versus just. just this descriptive case cripples is being used as a mechanism but. or let's say lack of true scribbles because even the most public feel it's a false flag and it's not there's nothing that justifies that. but look at everything going on we've got. you've got issues going on in syria you've got the g. scipio a sanctions are getting a lot of pushback you know withdrawal of the u.s. and threatening even their allies you've got. things are not going well and even in iraq it looks like the pro prime minister who knows how long he's going to stay in office that's not feeling good which is pushing iraq would put a lot of time into closer to to iran as well. so it does not look

good for him in the middle east as far as u.s. direction and obviously russia has had a significant hand in putting down all qaeda and isis. and. blocking a lot of things that. the u.s. establishment had in there so there's you look at it from a broader political perspective if your political goal. were kind of feeds into that as well as that showing trump is strong he's not he's going to still a lot of pressure from congress and the media here so. so it kind of coupled with that as well but clearly there's no evidence that ties russia to this and i think most people realize that they do not. and in the case of just did just continue to fall apart. that is the biggest geopolitical picture just when you make any connection at all with us mid-term elections which is sort of creeping up on its

own and there's a lot of russia talking general leading into those elections and very good point very good point. you know there's concern the. i'm sure the the whole even though there is pressure i don't think i do not see the russian investigation ending anytime before the election although there is hope that it does but i do not see that ending beforehand. but there's going to be a lot of pressure on with the elections coming up so i think the other part of this is that the u.s. wants to show more confidence to show that he strongly against russia and and even though he's meeting with putin i think that's another reason why the follow up kneeling meeting sense will solve until sometime next year. so there's the elections. absolutely there's a great point there is a difference the geo political area of the election. definitely has

a role in this as well i think. moscow thus far has offered to assist play some role in the probe what do you think the reaction of the kremlin will be now at this point do you think they will take a more aggressive response or not. i think. i think. you know i i have a huge respect for the foreign ministry and putin and how they've handled the area probably the most grown up war diplomats out there. and most professional as well the i think bill discuss this and in all. i don't think we want to back into a corner in your down a direction we don't want to it's difficult to go out because it could lead into a very dangerous direction. but at the same time you need to take some steps some

measures to counter that you know we already taken some steps you saw. the persecution away from the u.s. dollar the treasury bond we've seen internal diversification on trade as well and strengthening trade with with other personnel so i think they are taking steps as well but they need to be i don't think we want to take an adverse step that's going to cause greater conflict and that something could lead into something that we really don't want to go to. earl appreciate your time my guest this hour early rasmussen executive vice president of the regime and a thank you. on to other news now wiki leaks the legal team says that julian the son just considering the u.s. senate's formal request to testify but only if it conforms to a high ethical standards the senate intelligence committee wants the wiki leaks chief to answer questions on what it calls russian interference in the twenty sixteen.
