Life. News team here thanks for joining us. Fighters reportedly kidnapped and executed fifty two civilians from two iraqi tribes. No religious group in the country which abide by their own moral code the revelations in a new report by Human Rights Watch witnesses claim the forces killed men women and children fleeing the fighting between i sold and government backed forces the victims were from tribes that had reportedly sheltered and helped eisold militants and we talked to Human Rights Watch after first. To try these are sunni arab tribes one told. The other jaish these are famous tribes from the area of singe are the historical homeland of the u. S. According to the is easy these two specific tribes were complicit with isis and the day that isis arrived in the area these tribes helped isis to round up his east turn women into sex slaves and to massacre other members of the z. T. Community since then i have spent much time with you see the elders who told me they had drawn up a list of individuals and of tribes and would target them and kill them if they had the chance heard of incidents where i what is now a group of u. C. B. Fighters a u. C. B. Militia empowered on the payroll of the baghdad government that has targeted members of these two tribes but what we understand is that they are targeting anyone from these tribes women children men not because they were specifically involved in nice abuses and abuses against the edis but just be care because they carry the name of this tribe according to top iraqi officials in twenty fourteen alone almost seven thousand years of the people were kidnapped by i so we understand three thousand are still missing. The man would offer us and skiffs in the evenings they would get together and treat the women and have their fun with us. It was indescribable funny laugh turned into endless suffering tears and hunger i couldnt do anything that quite. As i saw loses ground in iraq because really again says the are lawful killings on torture of tribe members by years eve the forces are yet another dark chapter for the war torn country. If any even in these battles against isis has been to end a horrific cycle of violence and iraq violence in iraq allowing groups of armed actors to target tribes to target women children men we have had nothing to do with the crimes of isis with complete impunity allowing them to torture and execute with impunity really will spell disaster for the next steps in iraq in any hopes of Reconciliation Community its. With the world gearing up for a new years eve germany has come up with a new way to ensure security safe zones for women are being set up at burdens Brandenburg Gate party and it comes in response to a mass of sexual assaults at celebrations two years ago in cologne. If a national has been gauging reaction in the german capital. Just like at new years celebrations the world over hundreds of thousands of people are expected to flock to this place here in berkeley to see out the old and ringing the new you can see preparations are currently on to go in but keeping everyone safe without spoiling the atmosphere is a huge challenge for the authorities and these here organizers i go in one step further aside from usual safety berries and alcohol bans and socalled womens safety area is being set up its a zone where female guests who feel sexually harassed of just uncomfortable can get special help its been manned by members of german red cross and comes in response to events two years ago back then hundreds of women who were sexually assaulted at new year carnivals they were groped robbed intimidated and separated from their friends according to leaked police documents there were more than one thousand cases reported in cologne in hamburg alone more than two thousand men were reportedly involved most of them Asylum Seekers the new idea of the womens safety area has received a mixed reaction thats a good idea many people feel like need help but they dont know who to ask to do and having this service is kind of nice i think Sexual Harassment was people who were in groups and you were so how do you get from here to the safe place i mean. It seems a bit far fetched i dont think its such a good idea its to me it sounds its a bit like an early be set up. After freight but this is this is too its good because its needed. In front of me its kind of interesting that they do it in a new years as a events because id be better if its like a long long get to like tutor like the big. Just take one think that you do first pressure because i dont know you sounded a little commercial you know way to early in police has also issued recommendations for those who are planning to come here for new years celebrations including avoiding aggressive groups pain attention when someone gets too close and in case of any danger reporting to Police Reason otieno r. T. From berlin if the party member in the Berlin Parliament frank one soul believes instead of safe zones for women perhaps its migration policies that need rethinking we feel that there is a new step of. Danger coming into our country weve seen it since we have to already build vols against our Christmas Markets this is a development we do not want to see really policy should change we should not continue to have this mass migration of illegal Mass Immigration we do have we have to count and see who the people are who came to our country have to register them this is a process which has not been come to an end and we must close the borders in order to have a Stable Society you can go much further than the Security Forces or the politicians in germany goal so thats a problem and that i think this is not a good sign for the new year to come. Thousands of palestinians clashed with Israeli Forces in gaza and the west bank on friday. It was. About. The. Rioters threw rocks and ties as they confronted i. D. F. Troops soldiers deployed to us in response to dozens needed treatment by paramedics mass demonstrations have become a weekly occurrence since donald trump recognized jerusalem as the israeli capital on december sixth. In the meantime an Israeli Court has sentenced a sixty eight year old bedouin man to ten months in prison and fined him more than ten thousand dollars for trespassing but he claims the land belongs to him who is a village elder in ill keep its located in southern israel but when tribes had settled there long before the state was established but israeli authorities believe they occupied the land illegally and they send in riot police and bulldozers to demolish the village whenever its built up so far theyve leveled it to the ground more than one hundred times fall asleep or reports. Im here in the nor the negev desert where there isnt much except a few dozen unrecognized bedwyn villages this is one belonging to the to each tribe but they are some two hundred and fifty people who live here and they say that this land is they is going back generations but the israeli authorities insist they here illegally. Come here. The. It will take years until this fighting ends they are looking to push out so will compromise and will give this land to the state. Me my your duty if i was jewish the soldiers wouldnt come here at six in the morning on a rainy day they dont care this is just a bedouin house they dont think the bedouins are human beings they dont care that bedouins the citizens of this country they dont care the bedouins live on this land not the countrys last name the trying to say is theyve lived here for seven hundred and fifty years.

Everybody here is family father mother uncle aunt relatives only the alps henri family is buried in their cemetery no one else only al tory tried and their relatives are ball. Back at. The. If you were to take the word of the Mainstream Media russia has had a very busy year in twenty seventeen especially when it comes to sowing discord and interfering in elections the world over although in his latest interview russias foreign minister had a word or two to say about it. Theres all the billboard. But if. We get the goods to close it. Off. But. What i was writing would. Go to the manuals and the political news theres a simple user would. People which. Weve said you know just about the bill will go go go. So did you hear that russias foreign minister actually admitted to meddling in elections around the world i dont Pay Attention as i did no no that was actually a video. And. What do you think do you think that that actually i mean are you surprised by that that he would admit to actually meddling in the u. S. Election absolutely i think it definitely changed everything that the public was seeing right now and of course he would never meet if they did anyway right its quite surprising that he would admit something and even go further its actually its a prank video it was a comedy show that he did he was totally being second guy i miss him already i knew. He was being sarcastic ok much more sense youre saying hes joking yeah it was a Comedy Program yeah right but who knows that hes joking do you feel like people are predisposed to believe negative things about russia one hundred years ago and to say i think that we have a very negative connotation about people and yeah its the way versions are pictured than western countries. If you thought that installing the latest antivirus software. Would protect you from being hacked think again even leading Cyber Security expert john mcafee has not been immune hes claimed his twitter account was breached when used as part of an elaborate crypto currency scam heres what happened. Can who is hacked or has been notified of the day tweet was not me.

This is something totally out of my control totally out of everyones control and what happened to me is not a threat but theres a great threat to all mind this is a great threat to off people who are crypto currency most people do not keep their currencies on their own while were living in a new world of fashion and a new world of risks for all of us using the internet terrorists are becoming more and more efficient and more sophisticated in their hacking techniques this is going to happen to me and promised they can happen to him just a moment here on the program we speak to the son of a french aid worker whos been held hostage by terrorists in mali for more than a year that story in the mix of your headlines in just a moment. New years. Resolutions will be. So very exciting. The relatives would hate them. And it just so. Inspiring to hear something cold or a person coming. In my room. Says. Thank you. For joining us here for the program it has been more than a year since a french aid worker who had. To help malnourished children was abducted so for. Two years old sixteen she was taken hostage by local terrorists in july this year she was shown alongside five other captives and socalled proof of life released by al qaida we spoke to her son who says despite an Ongoing Investigation he is still received no information whatsoever. No. Usually the paris prosecutor ordered an urgent investigation into his stalls were now trying to find new materials to restart it so that it wont be apparent indeed to a lack of results were establishing contacts to try to trace that in seeking any information to establish with the shes alive and when she might be found so far we have no news nothing concrete be the from the kidnappers not from any contact persons and also nothing from the foreign ministrys crisis center. The number of those kidnapped by terrorists has been rocketing in recent years last year the total number worldwide have reached almost sixteen thousand people back in july the french president emanuel called for the full mobilization of all Resources Available to bring sophia back however a year later she still trapped in mali. If you look at the odds of today my thoughts are with our competitor its going on who was abducted on Christmas Eve be sure that all the resources of the state are being mobilized to find her and bring her back to her family but also be certain that as far as im concerned i will not give in to any provocation because that is precisely what our attackers want its good that they can be contacted for support but a family has been disappointed by the governments failure to make any decisions on this case yes its wonderful that we are being supported with the world you really need support is my mother we need to ask mr marquand about this he has power in the situation he can decide on a course of action it must be admitted that so far no progress has been made in tackling this matter. The first ship carrying russian produced gas has reached the u. K. Under a new energy deal the liquefied natural gas is produced by a company which the u. S. Put on its sanctions list in a move strongly supported by london at the time the first round of washington sanctions were imposed in twenty or fourteen in response to russias alleged vast military invasion of ukraine and the us has always been critical of russias gas supplies to europe say they undermine the continents Energy Security with moscow using fuel supplies as a Foreign Policy tool again a view that britain has been supporting. We have seen how countries such as pigeons russia used tear gas supplies as a tool of Foreign Policy threatening to cut off supplies or drastically increase prices its not in europes interests its not in our interests 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 north stream two and similar projects if it wish to do so politically however the end of twenty seventeen s in the u. K. Out in the cold and in need of russian gas it will start at around three weeks ago when the most important pipeline to britain push shut down due to a crack then one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a spike in gas prices more of a britain has faced an unusually cold winter with some blizzards and freezing temperatures we discuss the story with oil and gas expert. Why is the European Union and but it then bork us sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can put aside or a share of the sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the United Kingdom now but i sure have is it a lie ive been lying to you so i think that will continue of course the United States would like to be able to to use you over dependence on russia i dont much on oil but they come out they might try it with sanctions doing piers that of lies. Do you will but. Because you cant and he is far more expensive than. Two professors from San Diego State university claimed farmers markets in the us contribute to the oppression of minorities in the country the professors claim almost half of all markets are set up in a wealthy areas which discourages poor residents on people of color as despite the fact that markets are often established in the interest of promoting low income and minority communities well its not the first time this year the race card has been pulled on seemingly innocent things.

The city of luxury and free but also an Alarming Number of People Living in the streets. The simple fact in l. A.

This man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go.
