hello there good morning just gone 9 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now the unrest in barcelona shows no signs of dying down during night night of protests riots has targeted police but others were more peaceful and gay flowers to offices. picks up the story. it was. a battle ground to barcelona for days or rather nights the city has been reliving the same scenario from a peaceful march to violence in the flesh a stun grenade. spare having the end raster these guys there aren't hiding from the cameras quite the opposite they're
2:02 am
waving flags and dancing they're not the main force though think of them as cheerleaders but these guys while they are the real deal they hide their faces behind masks and ballack lavish their ruthless and violent their armed to whetstone spit taunts grenades anything they can use to wreak as much havoc as possible their main focus that police. and police are facing a difficult task every night they put themselves on the line every night as like a battlefield. and it is necessary to distinguish the 2 types of protesters the 1st ones are just demonstrators and they're nonviolent but there's a group of youngsters who trigger all these violent incidents that we all saw in the photos there's this relentless security these violent protesters use dangerous
2:03 am
weapons they threw molotov cocktails and bottles with acid at us it is a new situation for us we haven't faced this on such a level before so yes we feel threatened both spanish and catalan authorities confirm that there are radical elements that hijacked the protests you could have there were going to be that the i think that the independence movement signed sists has always been peaceful democratic a nonviolent and it is demonstrating that you. radical groups which we've condemned have created some scenes which we've just like to know mostly and which we reject and we condemn. you know believe they have the backing of citizens because the guarantors of the most brushes which is the defense of public a sensible rights so thank you for your work and thank you for containment in the face of big provocations. while thousands of barcelona citizens marching average night condemned the recent violence and even try to support the local
2:04 am
police forces this is how the building of barcelona pity's quarters looks like at this moment of the citizens of the city continue to bring down worse at the gate and a show of support for the work they have been doing for the past days are fun rest and some have even taking it further and put up posters on the walls which state clearly thank you just because of what i also support the catalan police and i want to say the majority of police support the constitution. that i as a catalan and spanish citizen want to see you think you believe all that work in the bus or. have a lot of friends who work for the police and i support them so far the radicals have refrained from calling for a direct assault on police like in hong kong but with such overwhelming support hopefully it will never come to that i do not question r

t reporting from barcelona. and off macedonia has called for early elections after the european union rejected starting talks on its admission to the broke despite the conditions it laid down having been met france's menu. among the 28 days in opposing the balkan country starting session talks with saskia taylor has more. powerless the city of love unless you move faster during a which has just been dumped by president not crawl the balkan countries been dealt a bit blow off the e.u. said no it twits joining its club and like any wrong love like the e.u. is going to look back with regrets surely a great injustice was inflicted on us in brussels the european union did not deliver on its promise i'm disappointed and angry but what makes this rejection all the more painful is that northwestern has been gunning to be brought into the fold
2:06 am
for a long time and has made several significant sacrifices to that end all and it's worth mentioning by the e.u. itself for example just over 10 years ago it officially recognized kosovo off to the left as declaration of independence from sabia precisely because it's the position of both nato and the e.u. but perhaps the biggest compromise it made was when it changed its very identity to brussels e.u. member state greece has an ancient region called macedonia and was a bit miffed that just across the border another country was using the very same name taking the high road muster don't you decide to lay the historical dispute to bed. itself with the e.u. by adding north before it simple but brussels was playing hard to get over all the muck or was off to 7 hours of wrangling behind closed doors the french president
2:07 am
vetoed opening talks on the issue the only one of $28.00 members to do so and he used the classic it's not you it's me phrase before we decide to enlarge the e.u. we need to reform ourselves the 4 out is potentially significant prime minister saw it is now calling for a snap election more crucially given it's true. cost there are all concerns over whether this decision will potentially jeopardize the peace in the region this is not a moment of glory for the e.u. to refuse acknowledgement of proven progress will have negative consequences including the risk of destabilisation of the western balkans with full impact on the e.u. but that like any decent jump to his just not quite ready to close the door on his love interest well ladies and gentlemen i introduce this to donald. i would like to send a message. to the load to give. i
2:08 am
fully understand your frustration. because she did your show. we have of so also not lost joining the e.u. is still in the future of north macedonia but while brussels what some itself may be the balkan country should ask the question what anything have to do be good enough for those bureaucrats in brussels. r.t. paris. u.k. charity is demanding the government comes to the rescue of young children born to isolate fighters of british origin and surging the authorities to make use of turkey's current ceasefire in its operation in syria to transfer children from the region we have an opportunity in the next few days urgently to repatriate them to bring them back home these are children in 85 percent of them across these camps
2:09 am
are under 12. more than nearly half toddlers so they are not they are innocent children they are not responsible for the crimes that their parents have committed and we need to separate. also the children claims that 60 british children are now trapped in northeast syria where the turkish operation against so-called kurdish terrorists is under way the figure is twice that previously reported the n.g.a. reports that many children are under 5 years old and they are all believed to have been born to parents who left u.k. to join islamic state british foreign secretary has said that unaccompanied minors and orphans can in principle be taken back to britain the u.k. is reportedly already working too with very say agencies to transfer some children to britain through iraq earlier this year the u.k. home office sparked controversy by revoking the citizenship of some of the wives of i still fight is one of them. who left for islamic state in 2015 she blamed the
2:10 am
u.k. government for the death of her 3 week old son my colleague neil harvey who had both sides of the debate. well of course as children they are completely innocent and almost certainly they don't at this moment pose any threat i think the difficulty comes with those that are with their parents who have made the deliberate choice to go to these places and are potentially really very dangerous themselves i disagree britain's position. citizenship i think that is totally rabbits' the actions written cup dictate not. right. and i think now citizenship should be restored we 100 british and the system if those parents have committed to france does that put them through the colts i do think as was mentioned before we've got some brilliant legal system that's going to
2:11 am
protect the public well it just won't do that there is not going to be enough evidence to deal with the with the parents there's not going to be enough evidence because the people that have witnessed atrocities are going to be dead in iraq and syria so let's be honest we're we're going to we're going to know very little about some of these people actually whether they are kids from british parents is another part of this we have to be careful because it's ok same we should bring these people back book actually would you like them living next door to you know you probably wouldn't do and i think we need to make sure that we've got the systems in place and the lock up those people for as long as we possibly can that are a danger to us but the children of course should be treated differently and should be given every. chance to to get themselves back into civilized society if one is more complicated maybe one parent is still alive or both parents of a so-called i sold child what do you do did you bring these children back and say
2:12 am
you deserve a better life or do you just leave them to their fate no you can't leave that meant it was certain. you know especially in that area because they would be in danger of being radicalized let's bring them home cook them through counseling give them the backup in the care that they need let's be quite clear that if these people do come back the vast majority if not all of them will not go through the court system they will be released into society some of them will be very very dangerous and in fact some of these children we call in them children depending on your a you know what you consider a child their age range but some of them will be very dangerous that this is bringing back problems i do have concerns but i also realize that past responsibilities and we cannot judge and our problems on the rest of the world we don't know how secure those holding facilities are and you know we britain
2:13 am
burst take responsibility and it is not doing that at the moment as real dangers wherever these people end up because they are radicalized most of the youngsters will have been through some kind of radicalization piece they are going to be very dangerous and it's all very well us bringing them back but some of our live next door to them and someone may well end up dying as a result of one of these people coming back. the man off in syria will top the agenda today when the russian president vladimir putin hosts is turkish counterpart in the resort city of sochi a 5 day pause in turkey's military operation against kurdish forces ends today with president saying he will decide his next steps after the meeting reporting now from sorting his. everyone who is somehow involved in this ultra complicated game of chess near the turkish syrian border will be waiting for news to come out of lot of
2:14 am
our putin's summer residence on tuesday by the way to be fair it's even more complicated than chess because there are just way too many players now just think of everything that was happening before top aired on strip 2 saw earlier this month turkey once again went to war against the kurds in northern syria who by the way for years were fighting eisel terrorists together with u.s. troops but now all of a sudden the american president donald trump told his soldiers to get out of there leaving the kurdish forces one on one with a mighty nato member and their guns now here's one of the latest statements made by donald trump on the crisis with the kurds with good relationship with. the we've never agreed to you know protecting kurds respond to them for 3 or 4 years we're going to need to protect the kurds for the rest of their lives but the kurds weren't alone for a very long time they struck an alliance with the damascus government of bashar
2:15 am
assad backed by russia by the way moscow has been very careful with everything it's saying and doing about what turkey's up to unlike american officials for example in one of his latest remarks the most senior u.s. diplomat mike compound was said that washington is ready to take military action if the situation in syria requires that now the question is whether there really ready to somehow go against and nato member like and kharaj now having said that we have to bear in mind that it was the american vice president mike pence who convinced time paired to one to announce a 120 hour ceasefire with the kurds now guess when that cease fire expires on choose date right when russia's president vladimir putin get. together with turkey's toy appeared on so worrisome but very fascinating times.
2:16 am
now still to come members of the u.s. congress want a ukrainian national guard regiment added to the list of terrorist organizations over its alleged links to white supremacy attacks we'll have more details on this piece of the story just after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development that only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up
2:17 am
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. and 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. members of the u.s. congress are calling for a regiment of ukraine's national guard to be recognized as a terrorist organization the so-called battalion has reacted by calling it an
2:18 am
attack on ukraine one quarter as more on the story. and maybe yet another story of militants once friendly to the u.s. and now finding themselves on washington's terror list congress is urging the state department to do so with the as of battalion and 2 other the far right paramilitary groups while the subcommittee leading the charge is looking for support on both sides of the political spectrum i'm baffled as to why my republican colleagues have refused to sign on to this not only on as of the town the national action and nordic resistance movement directly connected to inspiring attacks in the homeland they direct purveyors of anti semitic ideologies that inspire attacks against jews the state department has yet to respond but their contemplation is understandable given they fought washington's battles in the past but these guys are not your every day soldiers.
2:19 am
these neo nazis were supposed to be confined to the imagination of russian propagandists so why the sudden 180 well washington was only fine with them when they were all the way in far away ukraine and those guys have since come to the us remember this i i. i. nation was in shock such a large gathering of the extreme right a protester killed but there were other events lurking. the background that got
2:20 am
barely any media coverage the organizers of these right wing riots actually flew to ukraine and were trained by the as of battalion on august 1st 2018 and instagram user tagged right brand clothings account in a post containing a photograph of rise above movement members during their trip to germany ukraine and italy meeting with simone young the leader of the international department for the national corps which is a political party in the ukraine that was founded in 2016 out of a regiment of the ukrainian military called the azoff battalion only a year later a u.s. soldier was charged with planning a terrorist attack he was planning to join you guessed it as of battalion smith was reported to have disseminated guidance on how to construct improvised explosive devices and to have spoken about his desire to travel to ukraine to fight with the ukraine based violent far right paramilitary group as of battalions once they come
2:21 am
knocking on the us his door they become a lot scarier some of the more radical groups including these the one with nazi ideology are not really happy with listers lenski and they're putting a lot of pressure on him not to go forward with any kind of my status for the dorm boss any kind of reconciliation that would lead to an end of the law or in the standoff with with russia show i don't know why suddenly these congressmen who are by no means. unsupportive of ukraine as a as a tool against russia and are not happy i'm sure with any kind of an issue for mr was a landscape why they would undermine people who up till now have been their allies in ukraine so there are a lot of paradoxes and. in other news bangladesh is stepping up its security threat off to full people were killed and dozens injured in a private test over a facebook post criticizing the prophet mohammed the comments was posted by it. 25
2:22 am
year old hindu man he now claims that his account was hacked they say they opened fire on the protesters after stones were thrown at offices it's not the 1st time a facebook post has led to deadly violence and 2012 a teenage girl from london organized this 20 strong mob on facebook to beat a schoolboy who ended up being killed for moves to help spread ideas lead to the revolutions in ukraine and in the middle east he will facebook c.e.o. however to say he created the platform in part to oppose. most of us felt like we were powerless to do anything about it and i remember feeling that if more people had a voice to share their experiences then maybe it could have gone differently in those early years shaped my belief but giving more people a voice gives power and the power loss and it pushes society to get better over
2:23 am
time we spoke to see the political analyst dan kadlec about this he says that facebook does struggle to meet its own standards i suppose facebook there by some ways are probably unites in other ways. but what i don't think it does is help us by truth i think there facebook is disparate other you know traditional outlets in terms of. being a pro bowl year over $100.00. conspiracy theory. it's also now an age in a war that censoring itself. which prevents a pretty low information for example i just saw that a longstanding very popular palestinian facebook page was taken and facebook. so again i think their main point is i don't see facebook is
2:24 am
advancing me interest of truth. oh as for my plumbing your washing our feet up and show up today site thought today we're back again as usual full of stories for you at the top of the. their own no official statistics in india concerning children who have been lost or separated from their parents some are to estimate that every 8 minutes in the country the child goes missing. a lot of. money in the last. year. or you have finally got.
2:25 am
the national human rights commission stating that $44.00 sounds and minus go missing every year one of the police quoted. the united nations children's fund has described the situation as genocide and various sources suggested in india there are several 1000000 missing women and children. there is no variety in any of the characters that make a bomb of violence any more everything is that 00 is predominate every single conversation that comes out of the mouth of every financial writer in the press and on television is 0 every security is now based on 0 and the entire mix of this phantasmagoria the global finance is is all blending together and soon one huge void worthless.

the weekend to defend his decision tweeting that according to mark esperanto the u.s. secretary of defense the ceasefire is holding up very nicely there are some minor skirmishes that have ended quickly new areas being resettled with the kurds trump went on to exclaim in the now deleted tweet usa soldiers are not in combat or cease fire zones we have secured the oil bringing soldiers home. but not actually really. you see there is reason that our brand name and she deleted the tweet 1st as many critics rightfully pointed out the u.s. secretary to punch his last name is not as wiranto was actually asked for and 2nd those u.s. troops are not coming home from n.b.c. day b.c. and all the various news outlets in between they are now reporting that the punch secretary mark asked her esper said late saturday that all of the nearly 1000 u.s. troops pulling out of northern syria will now had to western iraq to continue the
2:28 am
campaign against islamic state militants. so unless we are now counting iraq as our 51st state maybe sorry but no one is coming home mr president a victory day it is not in fact we are far from pulling troops out of the middle east as this map shows our military is entrenched there in 10 different countries to the tune of about 60000 troops. my friends under these war hawks are men and women in uniform aren't leaving the middle east for a very very long time and that tragedy is why we are watching the hawks. wonder what. the. real thing it's like. to pull out of. what they like you know what i got. with. the.
2:29 am
world we're going to watching the ox i am i robot. tell. shocked i know you know what i hate you know i hate more than war hawks i think war harks who dress themselves as peaceniks you know like donald trump is right like oh i'm bringing all the soldiers home i swear i'm bringing soldiers home but not really. really in the least does it bring soldiers oh yeah and i don't think we've got the oil. wells that are del out in the middle of one of those loans. so as you with a one of the things that's really interesting it's terrifying and unsettling but defense secretary caspar had said he told reporters that he spoke to iraqi leaders about the plan to move about a 1000 american troops from syria to iraq which currently already has $5000.00 u.s.
2:30 am
all their states and there and the u.s. is also considering leaving some of those troops behind. some troops behind in syria to secure oil fields is out in the region. they don't want them to fall into the sands of me and islamic state or assad or somebody else somehow i don't now i'm just it's like it's not our oil fields it's not our area to be and i don't know that there's really i mean this is this is a bit of a cluster it is not a. bad cluster of people who all have certain agendas and at the center of either the kurds and all of these organizations that are just trying to find a safe place. to start with you know who was syria's loyal it's very loyal to the old so it's kind of would be a thing of like so we're going to stay behind to secure oil fields that don't belong to us or anybody you know ok yeah great but when you look at the amount of u.s. troops you know in the middle eastern area earlier i mean you talk and you have some
