2:29 pm
children cannot be allowed that's individual responsibility sure but as a culture we have to send a message and we can't be afraid to say that this is america this is the west and we don't do things the way a lot of other people do in the rest of the world will not put it on i mean let's look at the timing of it we'll tell you why it is so many people want to come to america and carry on that you know. that's my question for my that's my question for my why did so many people come to america is not because america is the quote unquote greatest place in the world is because people have been diffused and they've been robbed of their opportunities whether it's in the dominican republic go in brazil or in the middle east because of u.s. foreign policy and u.s. interventionism which has occurred you're one hundred percent correct to call out the liberals and the neo liberals in the clintons in the obama's but it would be deceptive to think that somehow clinton or bush or mccain or whatever conservative big bigoted politician is somehow a friend of humanity look what trump in the saudis have done to yemen in displacing
2:30 pm
millions of yemenis look at the ongoing onslaught against syria after trump had promised that his foreign policy would be different with syria and russia was still on the brink of a potential world war three has heightened aggression against the people of cuba iran so from trump and the democrats two sides of the same coin and of the same system i think that's when me and mr cern of each firmly disagree. when he says that mine well i mean well we'll see well there is definitely i mean i'm not going to defend american intervention as american foreign policy and never what i was opposed to every major global conflict that we've had because all that it does is enriches the military industrial complex it enriches very evil people like bill kristol very evil people and the american media and we have we have no business going in and trying to oust assad because we think that we can put in somebody who's a better guy but then meanwhile in america every day we have conspiracy theories
2:31 pm
about russia meddling in our election when meanwhile america we're modeling of the rest of the world so to that point sure there is no debate to have the interventionist in america the so-called best and the brightest elite ivy league educated people are actually fools and they believe that they can new colonialism as intellectual colonialism coming out of harvard yale and other ivy league institutions and it is absolutely a disgrace to humanity and the rest of the world the flipside of that is we do have a mass we should be trying to help these other countries creating safe zones in other countries but if you're going to come to america there cannot be a cultural defense ok it's ok to have my wife and nigeria congo therefore i can do it here but he's afraid to this happened in iraq for him where there was a lot of children four hundred of them were being raped and sold into slavery people that one report because that mean one becomes a phobic the shooting in san bernadino the neighbors had noticed that there were
2:32 pm
suspicious behavior but they didn't want to call the police because they don't want to be called racist so we have to have an open conversation about what it means to have immigrants come from other countries and treating with some respect but also the other side of that is we can't just scream at people in cali very racist because they're trying to impose western values on people who maybe don't share them. i did not know it and i know what you think i mean it's a delicate case it's an immigrant refugee it's an issue at a time of political turbulence in washington i mean do you think there's any bias in the way mr potus case was originally handled by the courts in new hampshire is something about the timing of the case. what will make salonen political correctness is certainly a curious one when mexicans and muslims and foreigners and immigrants to this country are harassed every day there is a spate of hate crimes of the this country. so to think that this some of the environment of an bracing immigrants is ridiculous when hate crimes are on the rise
2:33 pm
and just for being mexican when you can be terrorized just for being. you can be harassed is so many cases occur every day so i think we should focus on the reality on the ground of who's truly being. harassed every day in this country what do you say to that. well i mean trump supporters you have been my i have a persian wife and she's not harassed we go out and public and people will throw coca-cola on us or whatever because we're a so-called generational couple nobody even sees that a lot of these hate crimes do end up being hoaxes the flip side is there's just a lot of hate in the world and there's a lot of hate and humanity if i walk down the street in a certain neighborhoods in new york as a white person i would face racism from other cultures and that's just the way it is it's unfortunate so it isn't just that hatred is limited to one group of people one race one religion people in general it is very nasty to each other that that
2:34 pm
isn't a good thing but america we're far more tolerant the rest of the world i've traveled all over the world i visit other countries and we're very welcoming of newcomers relative to the rest of the world because again i wish humanity were different and i wish that we were not mean to each other and i wish that we were better to each other the reality is people are mean to each other. but it is not necessarily because of your religion people just want to find a reason to attack you so the way i always put it is that i will gladly challenge anybody daniel or anyone else to wear a trump and walk through york and then see what happens watch the hatred and the violence of the attacks that you're going to face for merely wearing a trump hat and i'll gladly have anybody else walk with the c.n.n. have or any kind of news organization hat and we'll see who actually faces more hatred more attacks on america the violence the political violence is primarily coming from the far left those are the people who are attacking people simply for
2:35 pm
having political disagreements. and site down a couple not particularly well and i mean as a sign that you feel safe walking through surgery queens or brownsville brooklyn. it doesn't sound like you feel safe to visit new york we feel bad for rob or mike certain of it but mike you put forth a very grim pessimistic view of humanity is though some hollow hate were a natural thing is the very institutions of this country from the school system through the mainstream media through the demagogues in power who promote hate in the form of white supremacy racism segregation. homophobia. women violence if the people in this country have who run this country at a true interest in stamping out all of this hatred they could run things quite differently through the media but divide and conquer tactics is how they can divide poor whites
2:36 pm
against immigrants and they continually scapegoat and this is where we disagree the fundamental problem facing humanity does not come from below it comes from up on high as five individual billion is in the world the richest five individuals bill gates warren buffett are carlos slim hugh in mexico spanish billionaire who's a real estate agent. when the owners of amazon who just purchased whole foods those five individuals by themselves possess more well than half of humidity until those super billion is served of this stone for you know you know dream. on that one gentleman thing we call going to those are all liberal in other words. so you might have your spawn. well those are all liberals jeff bezos warren buffett carlos slim who actually owns the new york times which is somebody nobody something nobody wants to talk about in america we talk about foreign influence in the media
2:37 pm
and all this russia conspiracy nonsense but carlos slim is a mexican monopolist he actually makes a ton of money through the open borders culture and then he owns the new york times is the largest shareholder owns eighteen percent of it but nobody in america wants to address the foreign ownership of american media and why have much of the news we have in america is fake so again we're kind of circling around the we often hear about from the left a white supremacy this white supremacy that white people were the first people to end slavery slavery is this the never culture in every society slavery has always been around it is that in sub-saharan africa the middle east if the europeans did it the whites did it everybody's done it doesn't excuse it so i do have a grim view of the past of humanity i think that we're improving steven pinker is right there are better angels coming out and we are improving but if you read a book like sapiens or you trace the history of the human experience you're going to find slavery rape murder death destruction other people treating people like
2:38 pm
they don't matter hell it did it the greeks did it the romans did it everybody again so all i hear about is white supremacy this white supremacy that but there are black supremacy and there are people like linda sarsour are who talks about jihad against front supporters and then she gets upset when we go. really which means it's coming from both sides it's coming from people of all cultures races and creeds that's why people need to be just sit down and be more civil and have more open discussions like we're having right now and on the optimistic note which we'll leave it gentlemen thank you very much indeed for joining me daniel schorr mike cent of it thanks for your time this evening thank you. more news is coming home for the short break.
2:39 pm
colin is still exist. ricos treated as one. of the puerto rico. and i knew well once he doesn't make. the island is controlled by the u.s. government and some puerto ricans crave independence. even . still many do wish to join the u.s. hundreds more leave every day. with the country at a crossroads anger of the island is on the rise. what politicians do sometimes. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or
2:40 pm
rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to be press this is what before three of the more people. interested always in the water. there. welcome back now back to one of our top stories over five thousand eight hundred civilians may have been killed by iraqi and u.s. led coalition forces in mosul in the last four months that's the latest estimate from human rights organization amnesty international and its new reports the group says pro-government forces relied upon imprecise weapons to the liberation of west mosul and ignored the growing number of civilian deaths it also claims pro baghdad troops appear to have repeatedly violated international humanitarian law something
2:41 pm
that may amount to war crimes and as the international testimony from those displaced it says more than six hundred thousand people were forced to flee west mosul. and here are some of the latest pictures from mosul as you can see vast parts of the city lies in ruins with smoke still rising above some of the buildings earlier we discuss the situation in mosul with more from the iraqi branch of unicef. i was about we can have a go in the central hospital of western more so. than people are coming that they're coming there with fresh wounds and one of the image that touch me and still remains on my. head is at least woman who brought four or five children into the hospital. all of you not had with the blood and she was solved by the high young one year and
2:42 pm
a half all was on her lap but she was trying to press his arm to stop the bleeding fighting in most of this was a vehicle in which. was in attendance extremely intense with a lot of destructions people and specifically children how. extremely terrible a price on the fighting in mosul they have witnessed or a nightmare yes they have been quite a cost of civilians and infrastructure damage. well the horrors of war were also witnessed in another way by artist and illustrator george butler he was embedded with iraqi forces in the area he's previously worked in syria where he traveled to several times to document the conflict that this time he depicted those who were displaced from west mosul.
2:43 pm
the media they has largely praised coalition efforts to liberate mosul some even i still own for the devastation of the city we spoke to george patton about what he witnessed during his latest trade. and what was your first impressions when you when you arrived and became embedded with the iraqi special forces what i found i guess was huge destruction to. civilian life and as ever it's the civilians that. are losing out more than anybody and they're the ones with the stories and other ones that i as an illustrator and as artist i guess are
2:44 pm
trying to do to give justice to what was the most difficult almost striking thing that you that you saw there something that really made an impression on you on one side a pile of piles of rubble these houses been destroyed in an airstrike and this. came out and bought me a chair to sit on you could see i was touring and just begins to tell a story and isis fighters had fled the mosque next door during the fight a fire fight they'd come into his home where his family were living and then the iraqi army had called in an airstrike which it so often does in mosul of course killing but also killing his mother two of his brothers and one of their wives this attack actually happened on the same day that that there's an infamous attack hundred sixty people were killed in mosul you know the willingness to talk about it and the openness and the normality of it was perhaps the most extraordinary thing and that is the fact that i was so so regular i guess is was the difficult thing to
2:45 pm
accept you what was before to capture this in your drawing but is this something you really occurred all over the city a lot of the damage that you see is not done by not done by car bombs or firefights but by a strike the story of people civilians being caught up in that it's obviously very sad but it is happening in mosul over the last few months i just want to ask you on the. point to the refugee camp you made one painting in the. amount of recently suffered a heart. born just after the second world war. lying in this tent outside the main refugee camp conditions the heat. and his wife you can imagine the desperation he hasn't eaten for five days or drunk and it's a very private moment this man may well be dying maybe it will be dead by now but you're inviting strangers in into your tent for those last moments on the off
2:46 pm
chance that they can help for me was a difficult choice whether you whether you engage with that story or whether you stand out from it because of course the chance of helping is very i think. what memory you're will take away from from your time in mosul the one you know impression that really will will stay with you i think it's always this well i suppose it's always been the same and that is. that it is the majority of civilians losing out. hugely. to something that they have no control of. the lack of that kind of very vulnerable the moment and the lack of choice and the thing that i guess it was to me is that the drawings that i'm doing are done with permission and i did wear the ones that i was very much emotionally attached to the kind of desire to draw to do justice and draw exactly what was in front of me. on the issue of mosul's liberation has also been discussed by russia's foreign minister came during an informal summit of the organization for security and
2:47 pm
cooperation in europe. as the details do you remember all that was. the suffering of civilians. of the aleppo coverage. that there's already been around. the city of. it is times more than the number of people that left to specially organized humanitarian corridors according to the russian foreign minister the departure of civilians from mosul was spontaneous disorganized not chaotic which according to the minister allowed for all could have led to more civilian casualties here's what else said on the hypocrisy by some of the western politicians and media. talking of double standards in the media western aleppo was liberated with far less
2:48 pm
loss of civilian infrastructure the most so of course we're glad that always who is losing maybe the price of victory has to be high but in this case there is no need to put on an innocent face and not to see the log in your own eye. this was foreign minister lavrov taking part in a european informal security summit and as it is often the case during such events was the center of attention which often leads to some very awkward moments or even . for you to go to prove you. are you do you choose to. believe that if you. move the goal seriously. the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov will now continue to spread around your neck stops on brussels and. now with some a in full swing in you
2:49 pm
a british holiday makers have been asked to watch this video on how to survive a terror attack before booking their flights abroad. well the video includes scenes of a hotel under siege in a clear reference to the deadly terror attack on british tourists in tunis yet two years ago in which thirty britons were killed twenty boyko went on to the streets of london to find out if such tips cost dark clouds over holiday moods british police have now released a video showing british terrorists how to react in case they get caught up in a terrorist attack if it's a safe route to get out now this is the best option it are just people to think of
2:50 pm
the instructions in the same way they think about safety videos everyone is a we have when you going to need a plane you've got safety briefing on what should happen if the plane came down and that's what we're trying to say here that the chances of very unlikely was just giving you the knowledge of what to do what not to do if you're caught up in such an attack kind of what's your response to that kind of wave d.v.d. i. mean big street is over in the state are you going on on a summer holiday that i know of those may be quite scared to go for was the really that worked right that will find it quite scary religious terrorists now will they be going on the train is quite pretty frightening this internet that definitely would make me wary about traveling the kind that we all stay like everything is about terrorism and stuff like that it just adds more to stress you know what's going on day to kind of relax not to think about potential terrorist attacks i think it's a bit scary they could just travel in the how can they be j.j.
2:51 pm
and what's going to happen next the less safe everywhere there's a fire or terrorist attack every day so it's like you do worry generally. more about even trying to get out to get you to do your dealership sometimes can be kind of a new reality to have you know it is here but if you're safe here would it change your plans this kind of thing watching this kind of video. would deter you from going away. a little just to deal with the. police say there's no specific intelligence that british holidaymakers are going to be targeted but they still want you to watch the film before packing your beach bags. well it's not only people having to adapt to the terrorist threat insurance companies are now offering special policies that cover terrorism they're also various counterterrorism courses and terror survival guides being offered to the public former british army intelligence officer chris hunter says modern day
2:52 pm
terrorism has created a new reality we're definitely living in a different worlds the you know the rise in islamist extremist terrorism is unprecedented and i think you know just looking at it from a domestic perspective when i was growing up in the you know in britain in the early eighty's i remember the provisional ira threats but they used to give coded warnings they didn't actually want to kill civilians with islamist extremist terrorism it's a completely different mindsets and completely different threats so we have to take the threat seriously and we have to be prepared to either forego some of our civil liberties or you know we say ok we'll just live with the terrorist threats and keep getting killed. well meanwhile at the same time a muslim radio station in england broadcast twenty five hours of al qaida lectures calling for a holy war is license essence being revoked by the communications regulator off called him on f.n. speeches by an hour all along he was killed in a u.s.
2:53 pm
drone strike in yemen in twenty eleven he was a radical american muslim cleric of yemeni origin the u.n. security council states he was a leader recruit and train if al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and he's also suspected of having had links to the nine eleven hijackers. well in mind f.n. says he was unaware of the radical content and the speeches and chris hondros says communities have to do more to tackle the promotion of radicalization. twenty five hours of evil hatred and vitriol and it once i'm on it and crucially not for monitoring all broadcast but somebody gave these people a license presumably if they were broadcasting illegally the real issue with this is that there are so many different mediums through which terrorists could actually propagate their message every developed country in the world are not going to have the resources to actually stop it in its tracks to monitor all of these
2:54 pm
publications so there is a huge emphasis and moral obligation on the communities in which all of this media is actually being propagated. now the un has warned spain to urgently prepare for a sharp influx of refugees entering the country via the sea from africa the number of migrants who've already reached spain this year is edging closer to the entire total who made it in twenty sixteen well let's take a closer look at this western european route taken by the migrants and increasing number of africans are choosing to bypass the primary and notorious trade to conflict torn libya instead they're heading straight to europe from morocco through the strait of gibraltar where some of the migrants say it's a safer route but activists have warned of strong currents in the area that could easily capsize crowded boats.
2:55 pm
i. was. cut. out i cut. well the un's refugee agency says madrid is simply not ready to cope with the influx stressing that spain doesn't have the infrastructure to accommodate all the new arrivals of fellow e.u. nations italy and greece are already bearing the brunt of the migrant surge thousands have been arriving in those countries each day and not all of them are feeling welcome to monday a huge fire swept through a migrant camp on the greek on a diff less boss made a riot by a spanish speakers facing deportation to attacking european history professor paolo bennett the media says the e.u. has failed to work out a common policy on dealing with migrants. will be in may june day. like a case of the spain we want to be able to call to this situation i think you know
2:56 pm
is really well up to the task of controlling going. to hopefully days and not calling policies if you think of the different. number of migrants to spain that these will come out my own sweet valley there is not a real column all this is just racial we have to deal with emergencies policy and so i don't think frankly or they use it. and i see the future are. like once it reaches the shore so we did it greece and spain and we were back at the world headlines at the top of they are. far. live live
