it kind of it's comforting to hear that this is russia's fault and not something that's been the wrong with america since the foundation of this country it's nice to say it's russia's call to go and it's trump's fault and that once trump is gone and once you know the elections are more secure and all races never fade away because the russian bots or the russian hackers are no longer influencing people to be racist but that's not true it's just a nice story you can tell yourself say this racism and this is the white supremacy the united states is not the fault of the united states the fault of rush hour you know whatever else now when it comes to that rush russia question the crowd is not unified but they are unified in denouncing these forces that are assembled in front of the white house there are a lot of signs invoking memories of what happened one year ago in charlottesville there are a lot of signs invoking the black lives matter movement in opposition to police brutality we're seeing a lot of different political forces represented out here community organizations school groups religious organizations a lot of different folks here to counter the very very small crowd of roughly twenty four individuals associated with white supremacist and white nationalist

organizations so huge huge turnout here in d.c. to denounce the folks gathered in front of the white house where there unite the right two point zero rally huge mobilization lots of different forces here lots of different causes represented all of them denouncing the ku klux klan white supremacy ism so quite a diverse crowd out here so far we have not heard any reports of any violence or anyone being injured huge police presence we are hearing the sound of police helicopters above there are lots of police standing in front of the white supremacy there are there are lots of police elsewhere around the city the city is on lockdown largely with the metro on a special schedule so situation is tense a lot of anger here a lot of people chanting anger at the white supremacists but as of yet we have not seen any any violence or people hurting each other now the anti fox crowd has come decked out in body armor gas masks almost as if they're ready for a fight but no fights as of yet have broken out. russia's prime

minister has warned that if the u.s. goes ahead with sanctions against russia's major banks it will be viewed as an act of economic war that was after a first wave of measures was announced over moscow's alleged role in the poisoning of russian agents sergei screwball and his daughter back in march now the new sanctions ban the russian state owned firms from buying certain american electronic devices on security grounds a much tougher the second wave which has yet to be passed into law could prevent leading russian banks from obtaining credit on international markets artes and he just said he takes up the story for us. 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 us welcome the united sanctions of america well russia has been 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 there for the souls we're poisonings washington says it has determined that russia used a military nerve agent to attack form a double agent say script paul and his daughter where are you getting the conclusion that her she's behind the screen poisoning i would 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 is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hold russia culpable culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder and this been uncertainty from specialists investigating the case. as she says nor 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 baggers here of insinuation that russia is involved which

basically is a mood music which is feeding the population in the west with the idea yes it is the russians despite the evidence just a constant constant stream of these. people just accept oh yes it must be the russians therefore that's ok we're almost in point more sanctions it's time that we did get all the evidence but my suspicion is that as i'm going to happen all the way that seems of little interest to washington which is found 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 tool say it doesn't seem to matter that the u.s. itself has a long history of consulting with groups branded as terrorists for instance america's support for the quran and movements which techie label to terror groups organizing an attempt to pick a. sooner or later the united states will make

a choice either to. either the. country walk or see. or how about the american officials who they are a in extremis grip then wish i had the coke bombs the headquarters of the republican party there is a viable opposition to the rule of the. and that 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 to form into al-qaeda the people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago. does america dealing with a spot 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 own standing i mean while president trump has doubled steel tariffs on

turkey amid a diplomatic feud and the e.u. is also counting the cost of the us trade restrictions. the german economy minister has voiced his alarm saying the u.s. tariffs are causing far reaching damage international relations a professor peter foldes believes the u.s. is using trade as a foreign policy tool. it's very godless diana of the trumpet ministration and expressed no appearances in public affairs the rationale behind something he is trying to wage economic war against even against us and by the doing this off. threatening them that it would annoy and loyalty just obedience and partnership dominated by the united states i think but trump understands military means to me safety do not solve problems anymore you have to do it indirectly by by

economic political or financial means and this is what this county is playing out and i think because this is a necessary part of the we have to get a certain amount sets for and i don't see it's a moment apart from the public appearances of europeans no read and so a conscious strategy. dozens of families are in mourning in yemen after a saudi airstrike hit a school bus killing twenty nine children u.s. state department called on the coalition to investigate but underlined that saudi arabia is a key regional partner we call in the saudi led coalition to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident you also supply the tremendous amount of weaponry and the data for targeting to the saudis so that. sorry no lie wrong is that wrong sorry of these ladies every hear a 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 children's injuries and please be warned that the video that we're about to show you. strike hit the north of the country which was under the control of the rebels saudi arabia launched an intervention against them in two thousand and fifteen and the latest u.n. data says that the majority of people killed in the conflict died as a result of coalition air strikes more than ten thousand fatalities the red cross told r.t. that the situation in yemen is 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 decimate the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so we really do think that more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation even more we see violations cross the country and it's nice to. issue or speak about civilian casualties in a matter of less than a week so for us this is painful and whenever we see civilian casualties we i mean. this is just horrific. and this event happened earlier this week in

saudi arabia says that it will launch a probe into the incident but also defends its actions. the talking 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 former wife of an islamic state terrorist has been jailed in russia that story much more when we come back you're watching the weekly aren't international. but politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president i'm sure. most somehow want to be rich. to go on to be the person this is like them before three of them or can't be good.

i'm interested always in the last. question. here now this new attempt at a global unit of account a global currency big. that will be controlled by any government so it has the chance to do what's called fail to do to escape the keys of the subtle bankers and they will the economist.

this is the week we are to be international now it will mean in southern russia has been sentenced to eight years in prison on terrorism charges after she followed her husband to syria has been you know coaching of i went to meet her. the clock is taking its 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 good that was living in syria and pregnant with her 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 that was snowball 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 is control than they moved to rocca and she spent every day living in feet. 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. what are 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 but 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. 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 and 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 conveying 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.
