muslim woman elected to congress with a long overdue national conversation also wants to make the military industrial complex. from the biggest budget request in history to congress asking for over four trillion dollars next year to fund initiatives like countering russia. but the debate on divisions right across europe over the fate of children of islamic state fighters says the. bride. off the woman's british citizenship was revoked. bridges citizen the baby. died because i want government didn't do anything to bring that child back to the u.k.

. they did the wrong thing put the safety of this country first and. human rights watch accuses. routinely torturing youngsters suspected of having links to islamic state. we welcome on the live from moscow. thanks for joining us on this. president donald trump has sent congress a record four point seven five trillion dollars budget request for next year that includes planned military boosts as well as hundreds of millions of dollars to counter alleged russian influence as bring in artie's. set of facts for joining us how exactly does trump plan to spend this huge sum of money.

well quite interesting we've got a budget request or proposal from the white house that talks of mole line activity by russia and then from there talks of requesting six hundred sixty one million dollars to spend to counter russian activity that both in europe and in central asia now the budget also talks about countering the activities of china refers to strategic rivalries between the united states and russia and china now it's interesting to note that at the white house briefing we did hear some talk of big budget difficulties and some the hardships facing the country let's review some of what was said. this great progress is threatened by our unsustainable national debt which is nearly doubled under the previous administration in and now stands at more than twenty two trillion dollars washington has a spending problem and in danger is the future prosperity of our nation and for

generations to come this budget will balance in fifteen years in addition federal resources and front line defenders are overwhelmed at the southern border in the fiscal year two thousand and twenty budget provides sizable funding of an eight point six billion dollars for full completion of the wall and other border security resources. now as you heard the white house referred to spending problems but their report certainly involves quite a bit of spending in the proposal that they're putting forward in addition to the countering of the strategic rivalry with russia and china they talked about five hundred million dollars that would be transferred between foreign assistance accounts in regards to what they call supporting the transition in venezuela or trying to oust venezuela's president nicolas maduro furthermore the document and the budget proposal refers to countering regimes such as north korea and iran it refers to them as rogue regimes and it makes reference to terrorist. now this

budget proposal has been widely criticized there are many criticizing it for the focus on building trump a beloved wall on the us mexico border that he campaigned around so much and not giving a priority to domestic programs however are many look at it and they see quite a bit of spending on foreign issues in particular singling out russia and it will print banks that bring us the latest on a story. lawrence of a french woman who was killed off to joining islamic studies in syria appealing to president mccrone to one hundred three children into france currently living in a refugee camp in syria wallace lear has more. well this is a case that involves a young woman she manning cento who's seventy five years ago promised for syria with her husband days we're told in iraq her and they supported islamic state until she and her husband were both recently killed in allied airstrikes not her three

children are still in a refugee camp along the syria iraqi border called out for now the situation in the camp is dire indeed some sixty five thousand people are currently hols their malnutrition is right is not enough food is not enough medicine and cheese mother who lives in the north of france has appealed to the french president a promise to allow her three grandchildren she joins her here in the. records are some of the issues doing in the whole camp on defying the conditions a terrible there is no room been treated worse than animals these children didn't ask to be born or be taken there they're the victim of the choices made by their parents now they are currently some two and a half thousand children who are being coulsdon syrian refugee camps and around a hundred of them are of french all region and french nationality this is an issue that is hugely divisive here in france around sixty seven percent of the population

says that these children should not be given permission to people to this country but there are other cases that are also making headlines this is the recent case this time of the new slum mixtape wide of british nationality not chummy much bigger was found at the beginning of last month when she was pregnant but hope we old son recently died in a syrian refugee camp and this came as the push to show the security state that he was rufo king but british citizenship that announcement was both criticized and supported the tragic death of show me a baby a jar is a stain on the conscience of this government. it's against international law to make someone stateless and to leave out the whole noble young woman and innocent child in a refugee camp where we know 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 and 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 some have begun is our back to the day she our region she left at the age of fifteen from the u.k. to join islamic state in syria when she was found in that refugee camp literally last month she said that the wish was to come back to the u.k. and head coach there but at the same time she also said she did not feel great joining islamic state now all of this comes as fighting intensifies over the last stronghold for the jihad this week in the year as it's all province we are hearing

from senior officials are the syrian defense forces that hundreds are islamic state fighters have surrendered but at the same time hundreds more obvious fusing to surrender and so the fighting continues. however as islamic state loses control of its last territories in syria it appears a sizable number of arsal wives are not regretting the decision to join a terrorist group. it was a little sympathy from some of our guests for the woman who had essentially kick started this whole debate should be go. with go blank piece walking away with pitiful sentences she would have walked away with a pitiful sentence in comparison we also are absolutely no might be her word that she didn't do anything that would have been let's say the act of terrorism but now also puts the risk of rhonda kweisi in this country if she can be put 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 area on the ground a concert in which you know all those children died and she was just four years. you know so you have to think the. level of indoctrination if any child abuse a british citizen should be brought to this country and frankly i think they should be forcibly removed from the parents who put them in their support which we would then be. inhumane because she was raped a child away from its mother so we couldn't it was so there was no other option i think such a jumping to exactly what he should have done i applaud them for his bravery if you look at the front if you 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 it that just feeding suicide i let said we're not going to join them 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 to put on trial and i'll be very happy to see. prison for a very long time for crimes we've got to make sure that there's safety and protection for those children will be held to account and then there's going to be a global conversation maybe through the international criminal court to actually hold these fighters responsible for the crimes that they committed. human rights watch has released a damning report exposing torture and abuse of youngsters suspected of having links to islamic state in iraq the group says iraqi and kurdish authorities routinely for suspects some as young as fourteen to confess using harsh methods report features

a number of first hand accounts. of too short. to mean shut any and so you know quite low. in order to try. and avoid. what mr our job what i just started just had. enough that i listed about an. hour or so. much. a lot of our viewers and for. her and the rest of the better when i don't have. a better. report describes the kind of torture to which the detainees are allegedly subjected among the methods said to be used by the kurdistan regional authorities beatings with plastic pipes and electrical cables as well as the use of electric shocks and stress

positions. i'll call into human rights watch at the end of last year iraqi and kurdish authorities were holding some fifteen hundred children over their alleged affiliation with i saw at least one hundred eighty five foreign children have been convicted on terror charges and turns into 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 acts of terrorism because of their alleged presumed belonging to a islamic states these prosecutions very often rely on larry you know dot for my positions because if they are based on confessions that were tortured out of the kids. children are number one considered us combatants who are trying just as adults combatants and that it 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 i think we need rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than prison and told. we recommended the government the iraqi government and purchase orders to immediately free all those guess who have not committed the crime as for those who are suspected of having committed crimes and other violent actions well sure they should be tried but they should be tried according to international rules and component 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 recondition that we have addressed to the kurdish and the iraqi government and we are to expect to get answers and we're awaiting come until now allegations from the iraqi government the

country's counter-terror laws do provide for the detention and trial of anyone involved with law so that applies even if they've not committed violent crimes only play to support roles for example working as cooks or in hospitals. when israel is self proclaimed interim president is currently at the opposition held national assembly as it debates whether to declare a national state of emergency over the country's blackout and humanitarian crisis we can show you live pictures from the talks you can see the new screen now in the meantime the united states is ramping up pressure on venezuelan president nicolas maduro u.s. national security advisor john bolton says that momentum is now on the side of the opposition leader. they have not sought to arrest go i don't know and the national assembly in the opposition and i think one reason for that is that maduro fears if he gave that order it would not be a big but i do think the momentum is on the side of the idea what the president

will do rove says the ongoing power cuts in venezuela are a result of cyber attacks by the united states adding that his government is working to resolve the issue becomes a self declared interim president asks for outside intervention to end the political crisis in the country but all caught up as the latest. street file and 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 how 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 the day all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the all options are on the table because they always or 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

in no mood for talking it must be very clear to the world and to this regime that nobody will take part in this fake dialogue you want to go i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and always. 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 interference from other countries cannot happen over the heads of the venezuelan people we chose nicolas maduro not. calling for him fatal war because it is a war against all the people when he's 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 un 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 both the medic of loam go gone there's a reason waving a big stick at sovereign countries is frowned upon the democracy promised often turns into 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 afghanistan and iraq . will not be like the failings of military intervention there will be bloodshed o.b. destruction i'm really cause chaos for the country talking about the power outage the matter of congress says the government is doing everything in its power to remedy the situation. there is alex tricity in all twenty two districts

but there is not a single district where alec to a city would be supplied to all homes and some sectors alatri city has not yet been restored as we have sad recovery will be gradual and since we're restoring the system manually there may be interruptions in power supply but there is a team that is working under the problem led by the president and vice president and we help solve problems and the large cities of the country are grateful to the team for the efforts that it makes. russia and syria have heavily criticized the latest report by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons on april's alleged chemical attack in syria alexander children of representative of the russian federation to the o.p.c. w was among experts presenting concerns at a news conference in the hague in the netherlands he spoke to r.t. . the report to the problem i did with the technical secreted.

more exactly the fact finding team use of the fool. discrepancies. inconsistences. these are just preliminary assessments by the russian experts of final conclusions who will be provided clearly told me to which. of the initial report by the a p c w was published on the first of march it concluded that a toxic chemical containing reactive chlorine was used as a weapon of russian and syrian experts and the fact finding mission sections were not compliant with the chemical weapons convention they highlighted concerns over the collection of testimonies from witnesses both in syria and the broad the o.p.c. w.'s accused of politicizing the report and its criticized for suggesting that syria's government is to blame experts also found a lack of neutrality and objectiveness as well as distortion of facts and examine children as there appears to have been external pressure on the organization while

it was preparing the report while her do think that there was a kind of pressure. on the investigation last to. one year practically. and it was a. to see mind not transparent syrians for instance for instance going to talk to receiver their share of the props props collected. over the all the all the incident but it could maybe six or seven months for the technical security order to assure with this year in this process my impression is of that the technical secretary of the experts simply did not dare to contradict the version put forward by the americans first of all didn't his eighty two days you can nato the syrian authorities. main culprits.

based on this conclusion the coded though these it took people the fourteenth and. incidentally just a couple of fuel powers before the era of well in damascus or the. technical secretariat team. a british mother has been sentenced to jail for performing female genital mutilation on her three year old daughter is the first ever conviction by u.k. court for the practice after the botched operation left a child requiring emergency surgery.

liz liz . liz liz liz. liz.

female genital mutilation is still carried out in a number of religious and traditional cultures usually to control the girl's sexuality and as a precondition for marriage the practice is painful and does significant harm to the victim it's performed mostly on young girls and has been illegal in the u.k. for decades i was often done without the victim's consent so she's sometimes forcefully restrained during the procedure the practice can cause range of conditions infections threatening infertility and presents an increased risk of childbirth complications including death for the children of mothers who've undergone the procedure we spoke to the executive director of forward u.k. the foundation for women's health research and development she says that the practice causes lifelong problems for victims and the reality is that every g.m. is a human rights violation and g.m. courses and g.m.

also affect the health and well being of women and girls a number of people are going through a lot of emotional trauma but are not able to when we speak to some of the women that we work with women would tell you that the flashbacks when the thing now i saw the sea blade or and these are the things that are part of issues that have actually been suppressed in the mind for a very long time there is also the elemental those who do have psychosexual problems as a result of going through the mill to meet our mutilation we do know that there were cases of post traumatic stress disorder and it's something that we are for we're increasingly seeing we through our work with community women a lot of the support we see in women after training their request to have additional support particularly on emotional well being. a russian newspaper has released two videos purporting to show the abuse of inmates by guards

at the prison in the city of ghana's level. the two videos are quite shaky because they are from a camera that appears to have been attached to one of the prison staff members but the quality is good enough to make them very disturbing to say the least this is what torture looks like in one video we can see an almost naked man obviously and mate and they're all signs that he was just beaten up although that's not being shown he is forced to smoke a cigarette which as journalists explained must have just been used by a gay inmate and some sort of unwritten prison laws of russia suggest that doing so would make the rest of his jail life misery on the second video we can see moments of how the man is actually getting beaten up at some point his head was

slammed off the door and when he just can't take it no more he screams out of moles in pain it is unclear what angered the security guards and what led to this situation so the newspaper has just made the two videos public although the russian federal prison authorities says that they discovered them in the middle of last month i'm not so anti you know not even the ones on the. right in the snow wasn't enough to keep the. president substantive but he didn't get it done since one. since since. last year the leak of a similar video from the very same call and he led to a massive public outcry it was a big scandal which led to dozens of criminal cases being started and even more

people were sacked from the call any. algeria's longest serving president has announced he won't run for a fifth term off the unprecedented mass protests across the country thousands are taking to the streets of algeria's cities ripping down posters of the beautifully who's wheelchair bound has not given a public speech for years he just returned from a swiss hospital where he was receiving treatment the president's office also announced a puls presidential election will now be respond on the government reshuffle. there's the headlines for this hour from the team on myself thanks for staying tuned in on the international back in thirty minutes with more news headlines. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going

to do next about different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is it that fly here. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be rich. to go on to be press was like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters

in the house. seems wrong. but i. just don't. get to shape out to stay active. and engaged. when some find themselves worlds apart. just of the common ground. 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 great again. talking some real news i'm joined by my guest dimitri bobbitt she's a political analyst we spoke nick international and in athens we cross to alex krista for oh 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 four.
