the u.k. is split over the case of a young bride who is three week old baby died in a syrian refugee camp after birth citizenship was we both. bridges citizen. who. because i would go when we didn't do anything to bring the child back to the u.k. . we did the rowing he put the safety of this country first and foremost. human rights watch accuses iraq and kurdish authorities. who are trained youngsters suspected of having links to islam makes state. and the head of an infamous u.s. security company once known as blackwater the long lasting conflict in afghanistan

could still be won but only if washington allows him to handle the conflict. coming to life from the russian capital this is our national welcome to the program . to more british women who are married to islam and state fighters have been stripped of their citizenship their current keeping house in detention center it comes after the doubts of the three week old son of eisel brought shamima beg them his citizenship was revoked by the british home secretary a decision for which he was both criticized and praised for. the tragic death of show me. is a stain on the conscience of this government it's against international law to make someone stateless and to leave those noble young woman and incent child in

a refugee camp we have been no infant mortality to be high is morally reprehensible the home secretary failed to british child and he has a lot to answer for it's absolutely tragic that a baby has died and of course i understand this is a really terrible problem but on the other hand the job of the home secretaries to protect all the people in the united kingdom if you have had advice of what was right thing to do and i totally support his decision we failed as a country to safeguard the child this was an entirely avoidable death of a british citizen there was no attempt to help by the home office i think it's shocking how the home secretary has treated this situation. is now a former british citizen of bangladeshi origin show up the u.k. in twenty fifteen to join i saw at the age of fifteen back then was pregnant in the syrian refugee camp earlier last month when she said she wanted to return home to

have her baby adding she never regretted joining i thought. oh. and she's not the only one why well this syrian city of both girls the remains of the last stronghold of iceland the country some of the militants wives refused to believe the caliphate as doomed but there was little sympathy for the women from the gas with spoke to. go blank piece walking away with pitiful sentences she would have walked away with a pitiful sentence in comparison we also are absolutely numb might be her was that she didn't do anything that would have been let's say the act of terrorism by now so put. a smile to kweisi face in this country if she can report on trial she should be put on trial but this is a woman who just weeks ago was just before the month to bomb me of

the grand a concert in which you know all those children died and she was just before you. you know so you have to sing the. level of indoctrination. any child abuse i'd put a citizen should be brought to this country and frankly i think there should be forcibly as we move from the power to put them in their support. which we would then be. inhumane if you break the child away from its mother so we couldn't it was said there was no other option i think the judge circulations down i applaud them for his bravery if you look at the front look at belgium you look at germany and how many islamist terrorist attacks have actually been committed by people who have returned from syria then i wouldn't be glib about six. feedings to

a side i let said when not going to join them in that but parity we're going to maintain our values of humanity the rule of law and justice and we're going to we're going to allow it back and we're going to put on trial and i'll be very happy to see prison for a very long time for the crimes we've got to make sure that there's safety and protection for those children and women and that they held to account and then there's going to be a global conversation maybe through the international criminal court to actually hold these fighters respond. so they could do to according to the save the children charity there are now more than two and a half thousand children in the north and syria from around thirty countries their homelands are now engaged in debate about whether or not they should accept them back a recent survey in front suggest that sixty seven percent of respondents did not want such children back in the country while we got the views of our guests on that . let us not forget this is the third child who was done to this young woman

but it's this young woman who has put her. tragically. children into this situation she took herself into do syria and all fall situation tragically it's an awful situation of their own making let's have some humanity this is a pretty citizen the baby who darned and died because i would government didn't do anything to bring that child back to the u.k. of course children should not just suffer the consequences of their parents but if she made a conscious choice she may have been fifteen at the time she has been in hell for five years she had no conscience of and beheaded hates discarded dustbins she doesn't regret her choices on sunday just we did the right thing he put the safety of this country first and foremost we live according to our obligations under

international law and we cannot make some mistake this is our will problem she was born in our country she was radicalized in our country and surely it's right and proper that she comes back to the u.k. she's held to account she's put on trial. human rights watch has released a damning report exposing torture and abuse of youngsters the suspected of having links to islamic state in iraq the group sounds a rocky and kurdish authorities routinely for suspects some as young as fourteen to confess using harsh methods their report features a number of first hand accounts from people claiming to have been subjected to torture. sort of sort of to show. what to music i mean and the law so no right there in the factory if you're all. going to go are. going to the hospital. in order to totally but you could outrage of the obama

. well bought a little of the. yellow it missed the other job a bunch of it so i just thought of what just. enough that decided that a lot and leave. the water well trodden much much better. than other posters up for. it and there was stuff about it without identifying them with. the better one that. the report describes the kind of torture the detainees are allegedly subjected to among the methods to be used by the kurdistan regional authorities are beatings with plastic pipes and electric cables as well as the use of electric shocks and stress positions. according to human rights watch at the end of last year iraqi and kurdish authorities who are holding some fifteen hundred children over there are alleged affiliation with ice at least one hundred eighty five for being children have been convicted on terrorism charges and

sentenced to prison terms we heard from one of the people behind the report. iraqi authorities or no vote or abuse from the. kurdish there have charged hundreds of minors of acts of terrorism because of their alleged presumed belonging to a islamic states these prosecutions very often rely on very you know dots for my positions because if they are based on confessions that were tortured out of the kids. those children are number one considered us combatants who are trying just as adult combatants and that is not fair that should be the international law is very clear and considers that children who are recruited by armed groups should be considered first and foremost as victims

who need rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than imprisonment and torture. and we recommended the government the iraqi government and purchase orders to immediately free all those guess who have not committed a crime as for those who are suspected of having committed crimes and other violent action well sure they should be tried but they should be tried accordingly to international rules and compelled to minors in all cases we recommend strongly that there is no practice of torture anymore and that investigations are open jewel hauled all the perpetrators accountable these are the recognition that we have addressed to the kurdish and the iraqi government and we are to expect to get answers. we're waiting for a comment on the allegations from the iraqi government meanwhile the country's counterterrorism laws provide for the detention and trial of a new one involved with i cell that applies even if there have not committed

violent crimes and only played support roles for example working of cooks or in hospitals. the founder of infamous private security company blackwater now known as a chasm a nice us that the war in afghanistan may not actually be lost for the united states well that's after president trump expressed his willingness to withdraw from the country after nearly eighteen years of war what i see of takes a closer look. of ghana style the so-called graveyard of empires a politician's nightmare not least for trump this by the president's boasts about ending this war about leaving afghanistan no it isn't happening as we make progress in these negotiations we will be able to reduce troops presence the political conditions where we are in the reconciliation right now don't merit that almost two decades of war death and there's no end in sight over

the start of talking round after round of negotiations between the taliban the u.s. leading nowhere last year was the deadliest for civilians since the war began according to the u.n. but there is hope if you can call it that i do want to end the war by giving the afghan forces the means to survive and to be much more offense if you provide mentors and you provide air support and logistic support to those units they can actually get out and get after the enemy. erik prince the founder of the notorious private military for blackwater he's got a plan which he's been pitching widely to replace fifty thousand nato troops with some of his guys and a few thousand special forces and make millions of bucks along the way no doubt but

hey peace has a price one that afghans don't seem to want to pay so how do you justify that you'll get a contract and go into the war in afghanistan given that you're making money out of this business please do us a favor and have a bold line between death of mercenaries of the democracy out mercenaries of death or fall from wrong though these guys mercenary groups like blackwater never went away in fact they expanded turned into a company rebranded and now they want back into the big boys war but i never heard that. they were dead bodies everywhere and this is the argument in which you keep it inside among the dead bodies lying on the street that's. the middle of the seven

years old. just for a second the us hasn't had a stellar. rock record in afghanistan on the ground remember the scandal about american troops posing with dead bodies merrily firing the civilians and getting away with it time and time again scandal after scandal and these military forces we're talking about strict regulated controlled now imagine replacing them

with men who are happy to kill for money mercenaries what do you think is that going to make of ghana stun a better place or help bring about an end to this endless war. great nation do not fight endless wars. anti terror acts period and legal analyst jennifer breeden says that it can to me as just one of many private contractors eager to enter of ganesan after the u.s. withdrawal. blackwater has been stating that their presence there is going to maintain stability to a stabilizing force just be a third party and the presence of two opposing afghan forces i think he's seen this as a money making opportunity and money making and the moment that it was announced that the u.s. would be withdrawing from a skip afghanistan you're talking about every single major private security firm

that wants to be in there wants to take over that gap wants to get whatever u.s. funding is going to be residual from private companies to come in and fill in that gap it's probably likely that the u.s. will say if you want those troops to happen if you want our military our defense department to leave we're going to have to leave a residual force in here whether that's a private contractors somebody else and you'll have to be ok with that the taliban has not agreed to any u.s. presence any private contractors and private military force i'm sure something that would be seen as not good or not stabilizing was the most important issue is that's up to our government that's up to our leadership to ensure that any private contractors are adhering to very strict u.s. protocol and there is a bad actor when there's a criminal act that comes out we make sure that that is publicized in that the perpetrators are penalized and are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the laws within international law and with the laws of the country in which they are in the u.s. questions the loyalty of an as well as military as power cuts more time to the political crisis there more on that right after the break.

there was no trade or labor and there was an environment standouts in the original nafta fifty five years ago those were kicked out because relations were more purity economy but now the relation is very very close intertwined so i think it's ok to have a new treaty and you negotiation. in a world of big partners do things a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for

critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back the united states is ramping up pressure on van as well and president to make a last month durham's us national security advisor john bolton says that momentum as now on the side of opposition leader one. they have not sought to arrest go i go and the national assembly in the position and i think one reason for that is that new fears if he gave the order it would not be a big but i do think the momentum is on the side of the i do it president with the

ongoing power cuts that have been as well are a result of cyber attacks by the united states adding that his government is working to solve the problem meanwhile the opposition leader and self declared interim president one doest says he will call a state of national emergency over the power cuts has also asked for outside intervention too and the political crisis in the country donald quarter reports. street filings tough talk from the u.s. and now nationwide blackouts what a perfect time for the self-proclaimed president of venezuela to invite a foreign power to meddle in his own country. the solution is intervention and washington looks ready to oblige what would make you use the u.s. military in venezuela it's an option we continue to say and we always will for the day all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table because they always are it's no secret the

u.s. has a soft spot for foreign interventions and they've picked the right guy for it as he's a no mood for talking in must be very clear to the world and to this regime that nobody will take part in this fake dialogue you want to compliment you go i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and two ways of course shooting first and asking questions later doesn't leave much room for dialogue fake or not and of course much of the population doesn't want war at all and your fear is from other countries cannot happen over the heads of the venezuelan people we chose nicolas maduro not. that long ago i do he's calling for a fatal war because it is a war against all the people when he said well it is venezuela that should solve the problems of venezuela the u.s. should stop interfering in other countries affairs you know we don't want war we want peace and it's not just the venezuelans who disapprove just as america's interventions in iraq syria and libya all lacked international approval so the u.n.

leadership has already made it clear it wants no further escalation are you worried about the risk of internal military confrontation or even foreign i hope that the sink the. foreign intervention in latin america will only go gone there's a reason waving a big stick at sovereign countries is frowned upon the democracy promised often turns in. to a drawn out military occupation not to mention the bloodshed needed to even get there the majority of even the opposition themselves oppose a military intervention so his position in support of this is definitely a minority one and any sort of intervention into the country of military intervention as we've seen in other countries like libya syria gonna stand in iraq . will not be like the films of military intervention there will be bloodshed will be destruction i'm really caused chaos for the country. meanwhile after the

mainstream media spends the weeks accusing that as well as president of ordering the destruction of a humanitarian aid convoy one outlet has finally noticed that opposition protestors and might in fact have been responsible for the new york times is covering the air after analyzing video of the incident but this video is almost identical to one which we aired at the end of february both show how a burning rock separated from a molotov cocktail and hits an aide truck contradicting much of the mainstream's this corruption of advance u.s. politicians led an attack on nicolas maduro even before the incident was fully explained c.n.n. seem so incendiary devices from police and the minister side of the would ignite the trucks the networks journalists aren't sure if the trucks were burned in purpose each of the drugs burned by manure a carrot twins who don't so food and medicine this is

a crime and if international law means anything you must be brownies for this the burning of trucks carrying badly needed food medicine this is being mature is response to peaceful efforts to help venezuelans. a reporter for c.n.n. says the misinformation was due to an unconfirmed report despite that the channel claimed its team had witnessed how police started the fire. this is a classic example of how misinformation spreads from an unconfirmed rumor to the twitter feeds off the top influences to the mass media you have to be joking with the street that will see in them the outlet where you work that led the way in spreading this lie over the world c.n.n. claimed it so with it so nice something that no the happened the question we should ask you why. two weeks after after we've you know the propaganda bracci looked at it and you know all of the u.s. leader have been you know harping on nearly to justify u.s. intervention and it's probably i wouldn't report on the ground that day all that

information was you know all that but they're looking out all together where it's going no you know i think you know point of fact all of it by the report of the. plane molotov cocktails that they were throwing at the national guard. leadership but that you gather you know challenge claims clear evidence that they could waging a media war propaganda campaign by you know lately you know a legal attempt to out like the government. has some cases have fired public debate over inequality and discrimination in the united states but it scallop mopp and found out if you will look for clear examples here might be end for a surprise. according to google's own internal calculations some of its male workers are actually paid less than women they are rushing in to resolve this and paying

out nine point seven million dollars now this doesn't mean that the wage gap in the wider society is a myth but it seems that google had the opposite problem things aren't always as straightforward as someone believes the twenty thousand analysis fled one particularly large job code for adjustments within this job code men were flack for adjustments because they received a less discretionary funds than women but here's a weird twist some won't first analogies are actually willing to brush aside google's findings looking at bay versus gender alone no matter how much you tried to eliminate other variables can never tell the whole story the lawyers incensed and always show the real challenges that women people of color and l g b t q plus people experience in the workplace every day whenever you try to look at this case even in one of the. the perfect in the serene liberal bastion such as google even there it turns out to be a very complicated issue turns out that men were being paid less resulted in some

people saying well that's not a problem but if pay equity is the goal it should be a problem this mechanism of rejecting everything that doesn't fit your social justice narrative has a flipside everything that does fit your worldview must be true in all circumstances take the case of just a small let the black gay actor after he was caught allegedly hoaxing a hate crime the host of good morning america robin roberts had to explain why she didn't question anything in her interview with him in the attackers or never well how will you be able to heal that's not ok. let's stop. talking to her and i said i just want them to find the black gay woman and he's a black gay man he's saying that there is a hate crime so if i'm too hard then my l.j. bt community is going to say you don't believe a brother if the issue is someone who many suspect to be lying

to be fabricating the issue is it not therefore incumbent upon the in the journalist to pursue that and not fear that i might be dare i say perceived as almost be trained in some type of of of a connection i mean just think about that think about how somebody would say by inference i can only interview those people. whose stories comport not only with my worldview but with how i want my audience to view me that just eliminates the notion of journalism altogether there was a time when the assigned task of journalists was to get to the truth but now it seems that some people expect them to be pushing a politically correct agenda even if the facts don't exactly line up and even if

viewers don't actually know what the truth is at least everyone is impressed with how well they are a little up and artsy new york and you want your international forum or had to our web site r t dot com and we will be back with more news right at the top of the hour. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i want to the new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. you.

i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is the line here. and welcome across town for all things are considered peter lavelle who would have thought a somali born muslim woman elected to congress would ignite a long overdue national conversation also wants to make the military industrial

complex create again. talking some real news i'm joined by my guest dmitri bobbitt she's a political analyst we spoke nick international and in athens we cross to christopher he is the director and writer for the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate let me go first to our athens alex kong with congresswoman omar her greatest sin was not saying anything remotely anti-semitic not. even actually anti israel her sin was is to reveal the very cozy relationship congress has with apac and with israel and she got plummeted from. all cross the aisle both sides and the media continues to misrepresent what she actually said and then we point out here it's probably the only issue that i would agree with her on.
