moscow accuses the u.n. chiefs of secretly preventing their own agencies from helping to revive syria's conflict fit economy. a teenager who escaped turned slave and from what i saw in iraq claims she then came face to face with her captor in germany where she had fled for safety we've spoken to her. my boss called the police i told them i'd never imagined possible for an fighter to be in germany however the police were unable to trace his name. and an american defense manufacturers a photo published that he started back fires at twitter users send in some home truths about the company's bombs in yemen.

broadcast on large i referenced it is a must for this is r t international almost certainly glad to have you with us and united nations is being accused of secretly blocking its own agencies from getting syria's economy back on track the claim comes from russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. because it was still it's turned out that the political department of the un secretary it produced and distributed to secret guideline within the whole u.n. system in october last year it restricted the organizations within that system to take part in any projects on the reconstruction of the syrian economy our newly humanitarian aid nothing else well first of all we don't hear this kind of criticism for. directed specifically at the u.n. that often but if you really read into what he said you will realize that actually

he is upset with what he called attempts by other countries to manipulate the u.n. secretary it and this is absolutely unacceptable says the russian foreign minister the russian foreign ministry has already been touch with the secretary general they sent a former complaint about the alleged behind the scenes than the secretary of to take part in this syria restoration program so the question i think you a number of other russian colleagues about this reported quote unquote secret directive is always with this secret directive it takes me a while to try to find it's actually there is a secret directive but i expect to have an update we've asked some guidance and expected an update a bit later on this afternoon and i nothing new was on the letter then there was also a question by our correspondent who asked sergey lavrov what he makes of the u.s.

involvement or rather lack of involvement when it comes to restoring syria so u.s. says it's too early to talk about reconstruction efforts until a political settlement is agreed on what do you make of that knowledge to exclude some countries are trying to hinder the return of refugees by refusing to help reconstruction efforts it's counterproductive to set off officials conditions for the syrian people to return to their homes why. so much concern from moscow about this area well first of all russia has been a key player in syria and moscow is proud of its role of being in charge of the many reconciliation first that we have seen and also moscow's really been helping with rebuilding the economy and the refugees will not come back if the economy doesn't get restored the process has already begun the syrian government has just announced that as many as twenty five thousand syrians have just returned from lebanon and that is within four months and the devastated cities and towns are

slowly getting back to normal which or correspondent has seen with his own eyes. two years ago during the war we couldn't even open our shops the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we cover the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around smoking just like the good old days under joe you know the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day. i was lucky enough not to leave my home to find this is the district the rebels couldn't get to at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly defeated now saying god things are better despite

all the things we've been through we're no better well things are getting better and moscow is looking forward to other countries getting on board to russia says it's in their biggest interest as well and obviously they are counting on the united nations too and perhaps that explains the resentment of sergei lavrov. after escaping i saw a. imprisonment and fleeing germany a girl from iraq's minority says she met her islamic state captor face to face not want but twice the european nation we spoke to walker who shared her story for us can have all i we were saudi seven girls captured by fighters and taken to syria the worst time in my life was the moment when i still separated me from my family they took us away from our mothers fathers brothers they even abducted eight year old girls they tortured us raped test sold us into slavery we were looking for gasland anything sharp knife scissors when we couldn't find anything to kill

ourselves with we were trying to escape but they handcuffed our hands and legs covered our heads and raped us they turned us into human shields when they went anywhere they took us with them so that the strikes didn't kill them. a large number of young women have been enslaved by eisel and sexually abused many are still in captivity. has i met a medic that died and i got a. chill on my desk. without an abominable push pull that i had you know boring best summed up in a though that you want it bad. you know when i was not. allowed in my lower level then the alpha would not

a family. is now nineteen when she was captured by i so four years ago she was sold as a sex slave to one of their fighters after being abused for three months she managed to escape and flee to germany once there she claims she was again horrified by two separate encounters with the same men who had it's left handed just in the terms of what germany was willing to take in one thousand women who had excused from i went there to forget what i'd been through i said abou as i was going home after school i couldn't believe my torture could have found out where i lived the next time i saw he was two years later a car pulled up beside me and asked me if i was and i said i didn't know him or schlock how is it possible that my rapist is living here and has the same rights as me my boss called the police and told them what he looked like and they scratched

his face and it looked the same i told them there'd be no other witnesses i told them i'd never imagined possible for an idle fighter to be in germany however the police were unable to trace his name. german prosecutors however say the information provided by us walked wasn't enough to identify the man fearing for her safety in germany she decided to move back to iraq. i think i told my dad that the person who raped me it was in germany that i didn't want to leave there no matter what my dignity is more important than being in germany i put my life in danger to escape from i still retain my dignity and you want me to stay in germany you know in the one who was responsible for my misery is free in that country all i wanted was to be somewhere safe but after meeting him i was afraid the whole time that he heard me again so i couldn't stay there anymore. we contacted several german government agencies and of the place on friday to ask what actions they have taken if any we have yet to hear back but when we do we will let you know what they have

to say. u.s. defense contractor lockheed martin has felt of the wrath of the internet when a marketing stunt on the world of photo day backfired spectacularly or to kill a mob and explains what made twitter users snap. the giant corporation known as lockheed martin had a plan for world photo day the idea was that they would encourage people on social media to tweet back at them what they called amazing photos of their products now keep in mind lockheed martin is one of the top defense contractors it works with the u.s. military as well as nato countries it produces weapons military equipment aerospace and other products used in military activities when requests are made for amazing photos of their products there was quite a response on social media dear lockheed martin you asked people to tweet amazing

photos of my new products here it is this is a fragment of your bomb a laser guided m k eighty two which saudi arabia used to kill forty children in yemen last week here is the product of your products the fact that look he'd monson has a generic happy let's who cool pretty is why all to me now on its website lockheed martin brags about its relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia donald trump was able to arrange a new weapons deals between saudi arabia and lockheed martin now many people on social media appear to be aware of the fact that a lot of the weapons and bombs being used by saudi arabia for its war in yemen seem to be supplied by a washington march now it's being reported that in a recent deadly strike in which civilians were killed including children it was actually lockheed martin that supplied the bomb to saudi arabia to carry out this strike.

following the response lockheed martin removed to tweet calling for photographs of its products now those observing the situation will wonder if lockheed martin will attempt to have this kind of social media stunt ever again in the future. and israeli border guard has had his prison sentence doubled to eighteen months

over the killing of an unarmed seventeen year old palestinian during a protest to the incident happened four years ago and video released subsequent leaves showed that the teenager posed no immediate threat. the original charge of manslaughter was reduced to death through negligence after a plea deal was reached in which the israeli guard admitted to accidently using a live rounds four months ago he was jailed for nine months which is at the lower end of the punishment term for such a crime he was also ordered to pay fourteen thousand dollars that to the victim's family israel insisted that the boy and others had thrown rocks at the border guards minutes before he was shot and killed the officer claimed he fought he had

loaded his rifle with rubber bullets but that it was actually live ammunition the palestine liberation organization described the incentives as unjust and fitting a pattern of discrimination. such a conviction represents israel's deliberate dehumanization of its palestinian victims primarily children israel employs an unremitting and lethal shoot to kill policy against palestinians when it comes down to the courts they always find ways to pass more lenient sentences they find gaping the circumstances and of course one can always find the circumstances the accumulated effect of all of these incidents is that there is no big terrence against the next shooter the next soldier who are in a centrally or not so innocently will charge his weapon at

a demonstrator. right staying with palestine now for the first time in eight years the palestinian postal service is back in full swing after mail had previously been halted by israel ten tons of under-lip or packages and letters have been handed over that's despite an agreement not to intervene with deliveries going to palestine. i think you put somebody in there was a wheelchair there were some gifts that people had been waiting for all the things were found like toys in the t.v. .

israel says both sides it came to an understanding about a year ago on postal deliveries but that did not result in a permanent direct transfer of mail more news after a short break you're watching out international. and what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be preached. to the right to be for us this is what the forecast for you no more can't be good

international now the afghan fundamentalist group of the taliban has ambushed three buses in kidnapped more than one hundred fifty passengers in northern afghanistan most have since been freed by afghan forces the raid came shortly after the president or offered a ceasefire during a muslim holiday. daniel hawkins has details. the three month cease fire proposed by president garny is not the first such motion in afghanistan it probably won't be the last that has the blessing of the us time for peace has a better ring to it than war on terror regardless the taliban are firmly rejected it instead continuing a countrywide military offensive. the no. no no no no no no no.

i saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children even women who were killed during an airstrike last night and there is no attention from the government and no facilities for the residents of the dead bodies are still on the roads names that have also been injured. military commanders say the truce will only benefit the u.s. led forces they've also been clear no peace will be possible in afghanistan as long as the foreign occupation carries on and as coalition forces approach their seventeenth year of operations in the country how simple things seemed all those years ago we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan under barbaric rule a decade and a half later the taliban control large swathes of territory and are able to strike at security forces and civilians almost that will afghanistan has been

a battleground for various militant groups something the u.s. views pragmatically the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed the afghan question has forced the u.s. to sway between a military solution negotiations with the taliban was such a hot cold rhetoric from the white house it's hardly surprising. the possibility of mediation as taking years to arise it's been quite a balancing act for washington to have the taliban willing to come to the negotiating table this is no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the taliban we're going to finish what we have to finish i want to reinforce to the taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement the taliban trimble's as a hero of the first week of. the fourth before the call for the taliban when their choices are to reconcile live in a relevance. in september taliban representatives have been invited for talks in

moscow alongside to government officials bypassing the united states if successful these could become a step towards the long list cease fire of them all a permanent solution to a decades long cycle of violence something that today looks as this isn't as ever the afghan government just recently and the crucial rule by the other superpowers in that region in the neighborhood of afghanistan so russia is one of the strongest country and we can understand or maybe the afghan government can believe that fresh in. it but to go in and mediating between the taliban and the afghan government there could be some more progress is in afghanistan because the different negotiation in the interaction between the afghan government and taliban it just on the very fast beat. with the united states midterm elections

now just a few months away and national security adviser has said china is among the countries america fears could attempt to interfere with its political process. it's a sufficient national security concern about chinese meddling iranian meddling in north korean meddling that we're taking steps to try and prevent it looking at the twenty eighteen election those are the four countries that we're most concerned about on saturday donald trump also characterized china as a threat saying it's a mistake to fixate too much on russia comments come as the trade war between the u.s. and china escalates fearing a high trade deficit donald trump imposed a large tariffs on metal imports coming from china back in april and the u.s. president and then later slapped a twenty five percent duties on billions of dollars worth of chinese products are going to hopes to run as the libertarian party candidate in two thousand and twenty u.s. presidential election told us washington is seeking to create fictitious enemies

for the sake of political expediency trump is obviously using china as sort of this target to make it the new big bad guy the big justification he has had for at least the steel tariffs is that because of the chinese government give such a huge subsidy to its own domestic steel production that we need to fight back of course he's going to want secondary justifications you know suggesting that china try to influence elections or whatever else the united states has a horrific record in foreign policy instead of trying to focus on the sins at home that we need to wash away that we need to do everything we can to improve the u.s. government is creating one false enemy after another and using that to justified politically unjustifiable behavior. the muslim couple has been refused swiss citizenship because of a handshake. they did not shake hands with people of the opposite sex religious

practice does not fall outside the law the constitution and equality between men and women prevails over bigotry the couple were said to have shown a lack of respect for gender equality laws and failed to prove their readiness to integrate into society however they have thirty days to appeal the decision back in two thousand and sixteen a similar case took place in sweden that was when a twenty four year old a muslim woman refused to shake a male interviewers hand when she had gone for a job their meeting was abruptly terminated however for our a one thousand in compensation when sweden's labor court ruled it amounted to discrimination incident has split social media. i've warned about this for years they immigrate into our countries and refuse to integrate and then use our laws against us to impose their religious laws they shouldn't come to a country and expect everything there to change according to what they want or don't want to do if you come to

a country you should respect their culture it isn't racist it's common sense. this isn't a law this is just a customary procedure she's not obliged to follow a custom that's against her and we just believe you don't have an argument good you can't force anyone to touch someone if they don't want to she wasn't rude the employer was rude. we debated the issue on the program earlier. you see if you're an employer in sweden like the guy who wanted to recruit a young interpreter and at interview this girl refuses to shake hands just difficulties to talk to him because he's a man because of our culture that doesn't work this guy doesn't fire her does not hire her and because of that piece of blanche to pay four thousand euro to that girl one the suite here that they say no on off out here they had the lady in sweden smiled and made this guess church would have to know that even muslims

should also add to their habits to the customs of the country they're living under shaking hands a suggestion of respect to do with it but if someone is not shaking the hand but on the other side showing that he's respecting the peace he's smiling in my face peace he's making a show of it's not like this will ever what always also take the tension of this discussion away and try to find a way how we could be of respectfully with each other except in each other talking future and maybe trying to change some of these things in positive remember while they should stop talking about respect when they come to europe they have our respect they have had our respect for all the time but they should stop trying to influence society to attain what their bigotry insists is absolutely necessary you should adapt muslims should adapt they have adapted for decades this form of islam

is not welcome in europe that's the perception of citizens and it's not only populist i think it's something like seventy or eighty percent of the population believes that there are some values these values that are space that have the freedom of speech the freedom of for changing their faith the freedom to talk to have my own decision how i live but also the freedom of the. living down the freedom of faith so this i would values that are in europe or should be proud of it and we should fight to keep them and not accepting anybody who is going to make any in danger is our values and our democracy this issue with this young woman refusing to shake hands with a man this is so very much happening everywhere and it's not emotional the way europeans react this cannot continue like that either they adapt and accept the way we live and to live with us and shake hands like everybody else or us they can go

back to that country and the problem is look at saying do on back to their countries and he can just imagine that muslims are your opinions and they're living here maybe in the fourth generation so stop to talk to us but this way go back to the captors of accomplices also ask what the sweden i'll come to compute belgium a could be great britain. but that doesn't mean i'll be back with more near the top the hour you're watching out international. facts geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. when
