russia views any further tightening of u.s. sanctions as the precursor of an economic war after washington announced in the week new penalties over the poisoning of russian double agents said a script of his daughter in the u.k. . meantime is new batch of u.s. sanctions against iran take effect the e.u. scramble to protect european business is working with tehran. saudi airstrike the week in a school bus in war torn yemen killed twenty nine children and injured dozens more while washington reaffirmed its strategic military partnership with the saudis. and also the headlines to the week just gone we meet a russian woman who faces imprisonment for terrorism after following her husband to syria where he joined islamic state. i told my husband that i wanted to go back

that i couldn't live there at the moment i started talking about it we had fights he told me if you want to leave me but i will not let you take the kids away. by their very good morning i am sunday morning of moscow this is art international with me kevin and it's the weekly around of the big stories of the last seven days but actually for we do that some news just coming in from manchester in the north of england we're hearing that ten people have been injured in a shooting incident there in that city it's coming from greater manchester police say it happened in a more side area of manchester that's an area that used to be twenty years ago pretty notorious but it's been very well developed and rebuilt since then it seems that you say the injuries of the people affected here don't appear to be life threatening but some of the injuries are serious seems to have been a carabine carnival or may. be after it early this morning but that is finished

several hours before the attack is over here anymore doesn't look like they've been any deaths there or any fatalities but certainly some people with minor to serious injuries up to ten people affected in the most idea of manchester we'll bring you more forget it. washington amounts in a week it would impose new sanctions against russia over the poisoning of former russian double agent sergey scruple and his daughter back in march moscow strenuously denied any involvement in the incident russia's prime minister says further tightening of u.s. sanctions on russia will be viewed as the start of an economic war and moscow would have to react economically and politically well there's a strict sions will come into the first places limits on financing an export especially in a number of national security goods then the second wave in around three months time would hit diplomatic relations as well as banking and imports and he says sethi takes up the story. when it comes to global disagreement sanctions that the

u.s. weapon of choice as russia's number two at the u.n. put it let's us welcome the united sanctions of america well russia is being on the receiving end of plenty of them they stem from allegations of election meddling military aggression human rights abuses all cyber crimes take your pick and the latest well that's of the souls reporting washington says it has determined that russia used a military nerve agent to attack form a double agent say gasquet paul and his daughter where are you getting the conclusion that russia is behind the screen poisoning i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the screen but others haven't given any evidence either just various grades of highly likely it's highly likely that russia was responsible the two poles russia culpable culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder and this being uncertainty from specialists investigating the case. as she analysis of the p.c.

w.'s report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack and we continue to see a sort of a series of corporate daggers here of insinuation that russia is involved which basically is a music which isn't feeding the population in the west with the idea yes it is the russians despite the averages the constant constant stream of these. people just accept oh yes it must be the russians therefore that's ok you know most important more sanctions it's time that we didn't get all the evidence but my suspicion is that as i'm going to happen although that seems of little interest to washington which is found moscow guilty slapped it with new sanctions and strangely given its ninety days to prove it wasn't involved or it will ratchet up the penalties to a whole new level with even talk of branding russia a state sponsor of terrorism that regardless of trump. wanting russia as

a partner in his fight against terror and the torso doesn't seem to matter that the u.s. itself has a long history of consorting with groups branded as terrorists for instance america's support for the girl in movement which techie label to terror group organizing an attempted k o u sooner or later the united states will make a choice either to. either the. country of democracy. or how about the american officials here but they are a in extremist group in which i had been a coward who bombs the headquarters of the islamic republic party there is a viable opposition to the rule of the. noun opposition is centered in this room. and let's not forget how america stood alongside the afghan wish i had been in its battle against the soviet union only to say that group later form into al-qaeda the

people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago. america dealing with a spider and groups amount to sponsoring terrorism while the state department has a good answer for that i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding you know the word sanctions of news a lot the last week e.u. stood up to american sanctions on iran would show washington reimposed of donald trump unilaterally withdrew from the twenty fifty nuclear deal in a statement brussels said it's determined to protect european businesses legitimately working with to run the prohibition is meant to iran's economy on several levels check out what they are first of all it's barred from buying american dollars and also from trading metals including precious ones also besides that it limits the overall flow to radium currency and targets the country's automobile industry the west has got a lot of feel is enormous washington tried to present it as widely supported by its

western allies but to run pointed out the contradictions quick enough. we've got to be a good normal country that's the our ask is pretty simple we think that most other countries everyone with whom i spoke understand that they need to behave normally and they understand that this is a country that threatens them deep the entire world has shown it disagrees with the u.s. policies against iran talk to anyone anywhere in the world and they will tell you that netanyahu trump and been so manner isolated not to run its interest in europe hasn't fallen in line behind the u.s. on this and i think that's a reflection of the fact that the e.u. realizes this is a war against them as well they're the ones invested in iran they're the ones who are losing billions and billions of dollars of investment this is it's french oil companies like to tile and so on french aircraft makers and so on who are losing these multibillion dollar investments as a result of these sanctions not the u.s.

companies and so heavily involved themselves so the e.u. understand this is an attack on them this is a ramping up of beggar thy neighbor policies of the type that we saw in the thirty's is that in the run up to power blocs actually going to war militarily and we're now seeing this the early stages of this manifesting on the economic battleground which at the moment is in iran but this is a battle between the u.s. and e.u. . u.s. senators are accusing their government of contributing to the deadly saudi led coalition strike that hit a school bus in yemen on thursday the red cross says twenty nine children were killed and thirty others injured all under the age of fifteen the u.s. state department calling on the coalition to investigate but underline too that saudi arabia is a key regional partner for the united states. we call on the saudi led coalition to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident you also supply the tremendous amount of weaponry then the data for targeting to the saudis so that.

sorry no and iraq is that wrong sorry of these ladies over here laughing. and that i would refer you to the department of defense that is involved in that but you know as you know saudi arabia is an important strategic partner in the region to the united states video of the aftermath of the attack shows the extent of the children's injuries please please i was coming out and i was upsetting video to watch that strike in the north of the country which is under the control of the rebels saudi arabia launched intervention against them back in twenty fifteen it's been going on ever since the latest u.n. data says the majority of people killed in the conflict died as a result of coalition air strikes around ten and a half thousand casualties so far. from the international red cross committee she called the situation in the catastrophic. we have received twenty nine identified these are children up to fourteen years old and forty eight

injured among them thirty children but for the overall top. this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and population of yemen humanitarian situation in the country is catastrophic it's a book relation that has been brought to the brink of collapse the health system is decimated the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so really do things. more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already humanitarian situation even more receive violations cross the country. to. issue or speak about civilian casualties in a matter of less than

a week so for us this is painful. whenever restricted in casualties we i mean. this is just horrific so to read nonetheless defended the attack in a statement blaming the insurgents. the targeting today is a legitimate military action conducted in conformity with the international humanitarian law to target the militants responsible for planning and targeting civilians which resulted in killing and injuring them. the united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis it also provides targeting assistance for strikes and military drills last year saudi arabia spent seven hundred fifty million dollars on training by american specialists which it claimed was to reduce civilian casualties and the arms trade activists and walton the week told us that washington or london should be shouldering more responsibility. what's happened is

a massacre and it can never be legitimate to kill children it's that simple questions must be asked we've seen over the course of this war on cells from washington and london to saudi arabia go up and up and up when i talk to people in yemen they are absolutely livid so angry with our governments for arming. arming saudi arabia and for providing the planes the bombs the missiles military training and diplomatic cover for the bombardment which they are living under yes it killed children but it happened in a civilian marketplace as well which is another big question why were they targeting a civilian marketplace the weapons that we are selling to saudi arabia are bombing schools they're bombing hospitals we're seeing the world's largest ever cholera outbreak in yemen and cholera outbreak is happening because the sewage the

sanitation systems have been systematically targeted by british and american bombs and planes dropped by saudi arabia in u.a.e. so we really have to ask yourself some questions and start putting pressure to stop this war on saudi arabia. in a way just gone we brought you some special reports we showed you several on the fate of russians and their families who went to fight for islamic state what's going to happen next well in this episode show you know what in a coach never travels to southern russia to talk to a woman sentenced to eight years in prison on terrorism. his office she followed her husband to syria. the clock is ticking on zagat at current life sentenced to eight 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 kid that was living in syria and pregnant with her third child she says 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 far more spin anything on t.v. they lived for two years in the city of top gun which at the times was under eisel is control than they moved to rocca and she spent every day living in feet. even my girl knew she was only eighteen years old but she could tell the difference what was coming and american hercules plane 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 that good had struggles to share her story she tries to stay emotionally distant from the past and speaks quietly redmayne 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 but the moment i started talking about it we had fights he told me if you. and to leave leave but i will not let you take the kids away i knew he was able to do that he had that sort of character and i was afraid later on when they were living and rock her husband was killed in a drone strike leaving it 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 upon arrival 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 thwarted 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 he will only meet them more harsh i believe it's wrong to put them behind bars for now that could. leaves with her mother in dagestan she has to report to the police our free month and can't leave the region it's difficult for both her and her brother to find work that's there on the official police 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 is just happy to see her children say. i was literally suffering there because i was unable to provide

food for my children he told me constantly mom we are hungry they were. and now he says let's go to the merry go round let's go to the seaside now we go after you where dumped now we go everywhere. money is hard and so my lovely home safe. dagestan. the dilemma of life after isis coming up here betting access censoring post social media platforms purge members content to view points of the weight more about the of this brooch. you know world is a big part of new things. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig

deeper to get 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 bad 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.

fly again good morning from moscow so social media and how it operates has been in the spotlight over the last few days again numerous accounts belonging to libertarian and conservative figures were banned by twitter accusing them of spreading hate speech as he put trying picked up the story what matters are all of the stories we hear from all of you about the impact your connections have had on your lives you can choose from an infinite range of topics that interest you and then easily follow that topic in the news countries and cultures that brought together like the ever piece. that was the online world as we used to know it all flim it's to any of those pesky folks trying to set limits in two thousand and eighteen you'll be told to. hold up if twitter decides there are sparks of your world that shouldn't be discovered what

if you're keen to know what someone has to say let it be former u.s. diplomat peter van buren you might as well unfollowing your interests the man's profile is shut down for good because he jokingly wish someone had eaten the face of his opponent in a twitter rant on asli that's by far not the most offensive thing you can find online but what's abusive about showing mr van buren some support to users who did so god bands to it's not about me it's not about the group of us who have band together i think it's a bigger issue and it's an issue that's that's raised his head this week people like us who are not part of the legacy media we're not new york times shapers of opinion we're also allowed to have our say so if someone from the new york times or the washington post put something up that we know is false we can refute it almost in real time that's very threatening i think for the powers that be this tendency to want to shut people down if they disagree with you is very dangerous it's going

down a very slippery slippery slope toward totalitarianism there's a word for that see and ask. well someone saw it coming when even perhaps the most controversial online talking head alex jones was told get outta here by all major platforms we remove hate speech to keep people safe after all they all have to stick to their own rules and keep people safe from hate speech but then even those anti-left who come to hate jones went on alert could be because they thought someone would click on their profiles and see a hold up pop up alex jones a bad guy but the problem is that once you start saying that hate speech is a rationale for banning people from social media you get into some very very big carrot or. i'm no fan of joe among other things he has a habit of rip. teetotally slandering my dad by falsely and absurdly accusing him of killing j.f.k.

but who the hell made facebook the arbiter of political speech free speech includes views you disagree with but there's no turning back when it comes to the online censorship evolution so i'm not sure it works like that anymore mr cruz plus people on the left are ecstatic bring it on is their call and if it is even a crucial step forward in the fight against fake news and fringe extremism. info wars is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies the uses sites like facebook and you cheat to tear our nation the pots these companies must do more than take down one website the survival of our democracy depends on it the world is getting older and a bit more author a tarion only lately a top u.s. intelligence committee democrat has come up with twenty legislative proposals for keeping online platforms under a close watch brace yourself as you might soon have to say goodbye to things like

anonymous posts or accounts that can be tracked down yeah that covers just two of the twenty. presidential candidate for the libertarian party of evora spoke to seething social media really has deviated from its original purpose. the idea of freedom of speech is a legal protection that says the government cannot restrict any freedom of speech it doesn't say whether or not private companies can and what facebook and twitter are doing are ok legally morally it is absolutely reprehensible morally as leaders in communication twitter and facebook have a responsibility to encourage an open exchange of ideas not to give a huge bias to the established pros state pro status quo old ideas they need to give space to the ideas that challenges that that's what has made these what made these these media useful in their early days but today the media are not speaking

truth to their early promise instead they are turning out to be just another tool of the status quo. meantime sees donald trump is also full of victim to the senses no less threatening his place on hollywood's walk of fame. the city council or the council can ask for anything they want they have no jurisdiction and stop hollywood chamber of commerce they're the ones who decide how

we would itself is failing fouled and stowage that people have been convicted of crimes and with burglary and mayhem and abuse and they've said no and this becomes a part of history if they really wanted seriously to make a statement about donald trump do that but that involves reading and understanding issue you know this is easy it goes to show you their trump derangement syndrome has come lately critical mass and they have all gone completely off their way. now the subject headlines a lot this last week violence spiked again throughout the week in the israeli palestinian conflict the sides exchange heavy fire and eighteen people were injured when a cultural center in gaza city was it wednesday night bar. and

another strike at least three people were killed including a pregnant woman. under eighteen month old child a local journalist was present at the funeral. we are now in. the middle of the gaza city where we are attending the funeral of the now that's in baghdad word killed yesterday during its tracks launch from gaza strip and that's a plus three year old mother that was pregnant with a nine month baby i'm expecting here at the minute but yet is the one here right now maybe you see what is the news that i just think that you know. that that. the baby oh you see speeches i think that the

airstrike came from this side the smell is very bad where blood is filling the place as you see the place is completely destroyed after talking to people in the same neighborhood they said that they found. the mother and the baby so it's heard with pieces of their body where they were not in a complete body in the journey ran to the mosque to find out if the explosion was there or in the house ambulances came in the voices of people screaming were heard inside the house we started knocking on the door no one answered we went to the other door a small child opened it he was frightened he ran away from the woman's body blown apart baby was to campbell and his took the victims to hospital the husband was injured in the leg stomach and head and strikes were launched and. hit on the israeli forces kept on singing and strikes where the palestinian resistance

also fired rockets into israel now the israeli defense forces reported that around two hundred eighty rockets have been fired from the gaza strip the idea further that it's retaliate three shelling targeted over a hundred fifty turrets sides most of the palestinian strikes in open spaces but it seems at least two landed in an israeli town injuring seven and property. also on thursday a short lived ceasefire between hamas militants and israel came into effect but then on friday fresh protests erupted at the gaza border and continuing protests against israeli occupation of palestinian territory three palestinians were killed and over two hundred wounded the israeli military says its soldiers opened fire in self-defense acting in accordance with standard procedure. it's coming up to nine thirty here in moscow thanks for watching this early sunday morning that's a snapshot of just some of the stories that help shape the world around us for the last seven days get out internationally as kevin i've been saying thanks for
