A very warm welcome you watching r. T. International with me nicky aaron good to have you with us this hour friday has been declared another day of rage following president trumps you know lateral decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital were following a fresh wave of protests from the ground. Im here with these basic six points in northern ramallah where the forces of come all the way in and they firing tear gas so were moving to the back theres a smaller crowd here than normal but they have as always been throwing rocks and stones and sometimes molotov cocktails at the Israeli Soldiers this is the floor its friday of rage actually palestinians all over gaza strip East Jerusalem and the west bank are demonstrating and protesting against Donald Trumps declaration days right behind me is throwing tear gas canisters on the protesters as since the morning since that announcement was made. Well you can smell the tear gas from here so strong made that announcement fourteen palestinians have been killed and those figures according to the palestinian Hope Ministry they also report that more than three thousand people have been injured its escalating its uprising but that is right the army has been throwing tear gas canisters all the protesters are running away from the buffer zone found out that israelis have been shooting live that nation are brother bullets because one hundred very very very close to where he was standing so. The situation here like it has been for the last month. Quite tense and we can certainly smell tear gas evil way there were at least five ambulances that. Floor are three injuries. The u. S. Decision ends decades of american neutrality on one of the most complex issues in the region as both israel and palestine have claims on jerusalem but under International Law East Jerusalem is not part of israel the city also houses holy sites for the three most popular religions the Us Ambassador to israel has said palestinians overreacted to Donald Trumps decision in an ugly and anti semitic way that plan to relocate the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem has sparked global condemnation with protests held around the world and overwhelming majority at the Un General Assembly voted to reject the move. Ive also followed the story of a palestinian boy who spent twenty days in an israeli prison and to whom many now refer to as a symbol of resistance against israel. The for the. What i was an area where there were confrontations and the demonstration project trumps decision. Bombs no choice but to run away. In my chest with a weapon and i was thrown on the ground then a group of twenty three soldiers attacked me they tied my hands and blindfolded me so i could not see anything and insulted me. To. Me its us for several minutes big hits us on the feet and i lost one of my shoes and took the other one such cold water mark for. Thousands of kurdish speaking years cities are still being kept hostage in iraq despite the fall of Islamic State many of them are children who have been abducted and sold at slave markets arties Senior Correspondent reports on the way home from terrorist captivity. Location. Ten thousand dollars russia. Location turkey starting fifteen thousand dollars. In. Syria starting bid. And dollars. Fifteen. Baghdad. Put two and the thousand dollars was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she endured horrible things things that new fifteen Year Old Girl or any woman should ever have to endure two hours ago she was back by her family here in baghdad no one called the police no one wanted to risk her life she spent her first hour of freedom crying in the hotel room where in my isis tells its hostages that their families will kill them if they ever return but her rest would be brief as to how she shops or. To many people who have been there shes. Shortly after meeting her relatives took her shopping. She was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down these e. D. s kidnapped by isis they then either negotiate the sale or steal them back their big gun secrecy i dont know if i say that if we show the girls still in that position with their relatives apparent t. V. The deal will be on that they kill the hostages as such some of the people involved didnt want to appear on camera but the stories i chilling and which you get your good to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was sent. For. Her house here where there are several girls san eleven twelve years old who were old raped gifted or sold as many as fifteen songs. If not for sexual pleasure. This brainwashes you see the children and sends them on Suicide Missions or sells them for money oh when isis fighters flee to turkey they sell their slaves because they need money to go back to their home countries. You may not know but when the u. S. Led coalition and that allies in syria reportedly led hundreds of isis fighters need that then besieged graca whose jihad this took not only the guns and families but also the hostages and slaves the same people that are now being on board back of the prices vary depending on where there are but if theyre in dangerous place you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifteen thousand. Others also tracking down missing people one iraqi m. P. Has made a name for himself rescuing children. She spent her own money buying out several of these kids under the hatch you know one of the girls told me the story of her escape she and her aunts were in isis captivity two of the terrorists watched them day and night to prevent them from running away then the girl told one of them that she couldnt sleep and asked to see a doctor the isis fighters her gave her some sleeping pills she kept them then put them in the street the terrorist fell asleep and she and her on managed to escape the girl was eight years old. Was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her lets try and run away they will kill us anyway and they skate three thousand years edis is still missing hundreds presumed held by isis the International Community no longer really cares is edis dont attract the same ratings now that they arent being slaughtered so its up to them to recover their own children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or our guys the odd scene from the hawk iraq. And r. T. Contacted several human rights organizations about whats being done to help the victims of these crimes so far only a few have responded including the red cross. The battles in mosul in ramadi and fallujah all over iraq have yielded an overwhelming overwhelmingly large or high amount of missing people people whose fate are unknown the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with islam except group or any other party in iraq families do not know the fate of their loved ones and if they have the right to know the fate of the loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere in iraq being held by a Certain Party to a conflict what we do to assist because we know that the process to look and search for missing loved ones is a really painful process that can go on for many many years and we call on the anyone who has a missing person in iraq to approach an International Committee of the red cross and to report the missing case so that we can assist in the search and identification of people who are missing. As was just mentioned many people went missing after the fierce battles for mosul despite the citys liberation more than five months ago it still looks like a was the red squares on the map showing just how much of mosul has been obliterated yet following isis defeats locals say little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraqs most beautiful cities. We havent received any aid from the government going to say. I feel completely destroyed i dont feel like coming back to ive lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. In the u. K. Facebook and twitter could face sanctions if they dont help a parliamentary investigation into alleged russian interference in the break that the head of the socalled fake news inquiry Damian Collins has now given the social media giant almost three weeks to hand over all the information hes requested they need to be able to tell us what they can do about it and what we need to be able to do is say to the companies we recognise that you are best placed to mean that so what is going on your own so its but if you fail to police the sites effectively and deal with highly problematic content then there has to be some sort of sanction against you Damian Collins the chair of the department of Culture Media and Sports Select Committee in the u. K. Parliament hes leading this investigation into socalled alleged russian interference in the e. U. Referendum and hes really slow these tech giants the social media giant saying that they arent handing over enough information and that the information that they are handing over is the same that they handed over to the Electoral Commission earlier this month and we can look at some of the numbers of come forward facebook for example had to go. Which says that story russian ads were taken out with only two hundred views or two hundred people viewing those ads and the total cost of ninety seven cents spent on the Damian Collins saying that no work has been done by facebook to look for other fake accounts and twitter as well handing over information saying that only six tweets from r. T. Account at a cost of a thousand dollars again mr collins saying that twitter information that theyve shared is completely inadequate now weve spoken to facebook theyve told us that they are closely cooperating with the Electoral Committee but that they dont have any evidence thus far of russian actors attempting to influence the brigs that vote but this all is very similar to the types of inquiries weve been seeing in the u. S. And looking into the president ial election there and again ledged russian interference and weve also heard from the u. S. Senator mark warner whos also been very critical of those social media giants i was concerned at first that some of the social media Platform Companies did not take this threat seriously enough i believe they are recognizing that threat now theyve provided us with information because these social media giants theyve continuously stressed that the number of ads in the the reach of the ads taken out by russians or anyone linked in any way to russia is very small in comparison to other adverts taken out and of course very little has been spoken about for example president obama before that this is a referendum came to the u. K. He gave a speech and told people how to vote very little attention there given to seoul called american interference so many people making those points as well. Well lotty contacted facebook for a comment on that warning it told as it had responded fully to all the inquiries of the Electoral Commission independent political commentator as im gary thinks that all the inquiries into alleged russian meddling have reached a point of absurdity to sign of desperation isnt it with someone lets say wants to go to a very nice restaurant in the no tables if the guy is really desperate to get in there can you check again or are you sure you dont have any tables it really is just that ridiculous they want to prolong and prolong and on scandal when frankly all they need to do is look at the facebook ads its all about for a Public Record and yes the fingers might get a bit sore scrolling down through the post but it doesnt take it you dont need to be some sort of super james bond in order to conduct this it really comes down to irresponsible Corporate Governance irresponsible political governance and a lack of transparency on both sides and in order to stir hoodwink the public about this of this sort of back scratching competition which occasionally draws blood they need a distraction its either a sex scandal its russian meddling. The italian interior minister has a controversial way to prevent refugees from heading to the e. U. Got more on this after this short break. Like the many clubs over the gays so i know the game inside guides. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch for the final school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the super manager killian erroneous and spending two to twenty million and one player. Its an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game migrate to one more chance for. Peace minute. Welcome back italys to send almost five hundred troops to the border between egypt and libya saying it wants to control Human Trafficking and the smuggling of migrants italys Prime Minister has branded asia the main transit country in the africa for europe bound migrants troops will be deployed to for to adama on the border between libya and there he described as a gateway for refugees who want to cross the mediterranean top european officials have already called for military action however the toughest deal with being sealed by the its it by its amazing terry a minister who is raising eyebrows off the boasting about his mafia tactics. Only when i reassured them that i was from calabria a region with deals and alliances a sealed with blood did they finally agreed to sign. Shocked by what they witnessed thousands of. Traumatised men women and children piled on top of each other locked up in hang is with no access to the most basic necessities and stripped of the human dignity. Joining us live now to discuss it further is Italian Journalist marcelo fellow good to have you where theres mr for now the italian interior ministers policies they may be controversial but michael is crossing from libya to italy have dropped in the past year so isnt that proof that hes got the right idea when it comes to stemming the flow of migrant. Well you probably will score is correct or doing something to stop abuse you which. I would say invasion of me reverted because hes wrong and hes really upset i think a lot of people and you must consider one very important. Very soon for the political election. It will be only in march that followed so probably is that the new creation has been a very serious topic for the whole time but it is for many months and the now that its been obvious necessity for the ruling party which is the Democrat Party who will do something to avoid the least problematic because i may believe because the topic of the electorate can be so big a deal is made is seen as a way to to reduce the number of new concerns you are correct is that when the people see. The big question is is this their right to do is not going to do it and that needs be a certain long term commitment of just well im sure. Lets apologize to all of us for the poor quality of the sound we have that we will try to power through this a photo of italys now sending troops to africa although it stressed that not that i want a military mission do you think it will prove useful always the possibility that this could provoke this situation. No hes going to be useful and be a good idea to try to select those people in africa and do a volume of all of the Human Trafficking exploits to distinguish what the big question is who has to do in this direction we expect everybody expects that if i didnt think that these were probably the governments to do it to do this job partly. Just as dishonest as being deep into submission organizations that they will decide who gets to completely and not the right and this will force is something very surprising because in the if you can do is not acceptable for a lot of many. Parties especially from the positions of. Italian journalist marcelo so i thank you for your time thank you for joining us on our to International Another apology to our viewers for the poor sound quality that. Powerful painkillers are affecting Life Expectancy in america because so opioids played a bigger role in Overdose Deaths last year than any other drugs legal or illegal tackling the addiction have become a National Priority as artists in there are cant report. The nations Opioid Epidemic Drug Overdose is this countrys recent surge in opioid addiction incredible epidemic one of the most serious crises facing people in this country. I dont know what the average Life Expectancy in the u. S. Is getting shorter for the second year in a row now thats according to the center for Disease Control and prevention and they predict this downward trend will only continue it doesnt look any better we havent seen more than two years in the row in decline in Life Expectancy since the spanish flu one hundred years ago would be entering the sorts of territory which is extremely concerning now this is all while other major causes of death like Heart Disease and cancer have dropped however Overdose Deaths have been on the rise estimated to be around sixty three thousand six hundred thats more than the number of us soldiers that died during the vietnam war around fifty eight thousand and thats not it about two thirds of drug related deaths were linked to opioid use so its pretty safe to say that americas been dealing with an Opioid Crisis thats only getting worse. Every one of those little girls represent the person that we lost to. Those epidemic has resulted in a few shocking cases in the u. S. In ohio a Coroners Office ran out of space to store dead bodies in West Virginia officials have spent over a Million Dollars just to transport dead bodies and you would think that this would raise some concern in washington and it did my administration is officially declaring the Opioid Crisis a National Public Health Emergency under federal law and why i am directing all executive agencies to use. Every appropriate Emergency Authority to fight the Opioid Crisis however the government hasnt allocated any additional funding to deal with this crisis all while the former c. E. O. Of a company that produces opioid meds has been nominated as health and Human Services secretary we are a country a culture that tends to look for quick fixes or Simple Solutions and particularly as it relates to drug use you know we think drug users are criminals or theyre morally the same. Size or we offer them inadequate treatments the overemphasis drugs prescribe rather than. Seeking more comprehensive more complex solutions both to the problem of addiction but more generally of problems of human suffering and while people expect the government to act Life Expectancy continues to drop samir khan r t washington d.
