Im here with the basis of six point three 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 the army is drawing tear gas canisters on the protesters as since the morning since that announcement was made. Well you can feel 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 probably 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 every 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 LawEast 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 since trumps plan to relocate the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem has sparked a global condemnation with protests held around the world an overwhelming majority at the u. N. General assembly voted to reject the move. Weve 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. That along with i was an area where there were confrontations and the demonstration projects trumps decision. Bombs no choice but to run away. 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 my. Thousands of kurdish speaking news eightys 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 mara gals to have reports on the long way home from terrorist captivity. Age location. Ten thousand dollars russia. Location turkey starting fifteen thousand dollars in us. Syria starting bid. Seven dollars. Age fifteen. Baghdad so. Put two and the hard thousand dollars that d. D. Was kidnapped by isis in mosul in two thousand and fifteen for near enough three years she endured horrible things things that no 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. The. Many people who have either she says. Shortly after meeting her relatives took her shopping. Or she was rescued by a group of men who specialize in tracking down these e. D. s kidnapped by isis they then either negotiate a sale or steal them back their big gun secrecy i dont and she got you know if i say that if we show the girl 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. And if you get your good to this day one of the girls was kidnapped when she was sent. For. A 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 i said. 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 that allies in syria reportedly led hundreds of isis fighters need that then besieged graca whose jihad just took not only the guns and families but also the hostages and slaves the same people that are now being on board back of it give it to the prices vary depending on where there are but if theyre in dangerous places you can be eighty thousand dollars otherwise around fifteen thousand. Others also tracking down missing people one iraqi and he has made a name for himself rescuing children. She spent her own money buying out several of these kids and then to have you know one of the girls told me the story of her she and her aunts were in isis captivity two of the terrorists watch 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 gave her some sleeping pills she kept them and put them in the street and the terrorists fell asleep and she and her on managed to escape the girl was eight years old and was too terrified to do anything so the girl told her lets destroy 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 if these dont attract the same ratings now that they arent being slaughtered so its up to them to recover that children and to help them heal from what isis has done to them or i guess the odd scene from the hawk iraq. I 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 and ramadi and fallujah all over iraq have yielded an overwhelming overwhelmingly large or high amount of missing people people who whose fate are unknown the families are still looking for them whether they are in captivity with this lamech said 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 anyone who has a missing person in iraq to approach an International Committee of the red cross and to report the missing gay so that we can assist in the search and identification of people who are missing. As was just mentioned many people went missing off of the fierce battle for mosul despite the citys liberation more than five months ago it still looks like a war zone the red squares on the map show just how much of mosul has been obliterated yet following isis defeats locals say little less that has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of iraqs as beautiful as this and. We havent received any aid from the government. To secure destroy it dont feel like coming back to have lost all hope of living after seeing all this devastation. In the u. K. Facebook and twitter could face sanctions if they dont help a palm and three investigation into alleged russian interference in the works it votes ahead of the socalled fake news inquiry and pay Damian Collins has now given the social media giants 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 recognize that you open. Place to me a little what is going on your insights but if you fail to police the search effectively and deal with highly problematic content then it 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 slammed 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 handing over information 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 alleged 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 for. Now theyve provided us with information of course these social media giants theyve continuously stressed the number of. The reach of the taken out by russians or anyone linked in any way to much russia is very small in comparison to other adverts taken out and of course very little has been spoken about care for example president obama before that breakfast referendum came to the u. K. She gave a speech and told people how to vote with very little attention there given her soul called american interference so many people making those points as well well r. T. Contacted facebook for a comment on the warning told as it had responded fully to all the inquiries of the Electoral Commission independent political commentator as im gary thanks for the inquiries into alleged russian meddling have reached a point of absurdity to sign of desperation isnt it someone that 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 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 a matter of Public Record and yes the fingers might get a bit sore scrolling down through the polls 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. Now the first ship carrying a russian produce gas has reached the u. K. Under a new energy deal such a story wouldnt normally make headlines however the gas is. Produced by a company which the u. S. Put on its functions list in a move strongly supported by london at the time the first round of washington sanctions were imposed in twenty fourteen in response to russias alleged involvement in the ukraine conflict the us has always been critical of russias gas supplies to europe saying they undermine Europes Energy Security with moscow using the Energy Sector as a Foreign Policy tool britain has backed in europes interest its not in our interest its also a political rather than a commercial undertaking and there is an existing framework in place for the e. U. To take more aggressive action on more trim too and similar projects if it wished to do so politically we have seen how countries such as putins russia use their guest supplies is a tool of Foreign Policy threatening to cut off supplies address tical increase prices however the end of twenty seven c. Has seen the u. K. Out in the cold and in need of russian gas it all started around three weeks ago when the most important pipeline to britain was shut down due to a crack that one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a record spike in gas prices in the past four years more of a britain has faced an unusually cold winter with snow blizzards and freezing temperatures we discussed this with International Oil and gas experts. Why is the European Union and britain sub borked you are sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can put aside or a share of these sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the United Kingdom now russia is reliable supplier so i think that will continue of course the United States would like to be able to reduce europes dependence on russian gas other russian oil but they cannot they might try through sanctions doing cleaves their supplies of. The euro but it will not work because barry can and he is far more expensive than the russian gas. New polls show around thirty percent of german and french people support the idea of creating a federal european country a socalled United States of europe the idea was voiced earlier this month by the German Social Democrats Party leader mark Martin Shultz however he didnt provide any details of how hell turn the idea into reality. I want a constitutional european treaty that leads to a federal Europe Europe thats not a threat to its members which are on the contrary complete wisely so. Lets debate this topic now shall we in cross live to our guests alan scant the founder of ukip and john lyons from l. S. E. Ideas think tank welcome both of you to r. T. International now to first question this idea of a United States of europe is nothing new is that it goes back generations but do you think its actually realistic to think its possible to turn this into a reality to one john first place. I think this was something that was. Really quite popular in the in the fiftys sixtys and seventys and i think coming out to the European Community into the European Union there were quite a lot of advocates for this i think at the moment it doesnt look very realistic that this could happen any time soon because you only have to look at quite a lot of the countries within the European Union at the moment and it doesnt seem to be the will for that kind of full on integration i think when we hear about this quite a lot its coming from brussels its coming from the European Commission and its coming from the European Parliament alan would you agree. More or less theres no popular demand for this no particular point to it i mean it would only bring more politicians more government more red tape more bureaucrats and a great deal more taxes and taxation to pay for all of that europeans especially since the advent of the euro have seen most things the European Commission do end up in disaster greece has experienced disaster in particular but a lot of countries have experienced degrees of Disaster Unemployment in most of europe is very hard because of the last initiative of the European Monetary Union the idea that the people the charge of that could now be in charge of Political Union doesnt resonate anywhere particularly in germany since theyre the ones who probably have to pay for all the the costs involved so when Martin Schultz put forward his proposition of the say seventy percent of germans were against it i did think its going to fly and i did see any popular pressure for more europe pull the elections weve had recently and presumably those in italy coming up in march have demonstrated will demonstrate that people in europe are more and more turning against the idea of eur
