the monarchy america iraqi government forces with the help of the us recaptured mosul from the islamic state and what price for civilian. libyan national army has defeated extremists in benghazi that's according to a libyan general six years after the murder of libyan leader moammar gadhafi. and the white house hence it will make good on president trump campaign promise to ramp up its use of the one ton of obey detention facility in cuba that story and much more coming up right now. it's tuesday july eleventh five pm in washington d.c. i'm natasha sweets and you want to see an r.t.

america we begin today in iraq where the recapturing of mosul from the islamic state has come at a really high price as a result of the operation thousands of civilians have been either displaced or lost their lives with human rights watch and amnesty international for school iraqi forces in the u.s. for their role in raising the number of civilian deaths here is r t correspondent ashley banks with more according to amnesty international close to six thousand civilians have lost their lives during the fight to recapture mosul and i'm told we're two thousand and sixteen the iraqi military backed by u.s. forces launched a campaign to recapture the city and this past sunday iraqi prime minister had a body travel to mold told to declare victory over the islamic state u.s. president donald trump put out a statement saying quote we can graduate p.m.i. day at a body of iraqi security forces and all iraqis for their victory over terrorists who are the enemies of all civilized people we mourn the thousands of iraqis

brutally killed by us. i says and the millions of iraqis who suffered at the hands of isis it took almost a year for the iraqi military to reclaim the city however this victory came at a heavy price and a matter of just four months from february twenty seven thousand in june twenty seventh teen thousands of civilians were killed and the sea international released a report showing molder residents were collateral damage during the operation to recapture mosul more than six hundred thousand civilians have been displaced from western mosul as a result of attacks from the rocky and u.s. led coalition forces close to six thousand civilians have been killed between february nineteenth and june nineteenth of this year three million people have been displaced internally by the fighting in iraq and hundreds or even thousands have been killed by the islamic state as they try to flee western mosul amnesty international has scolded the u.s. led coalition in mosul citing u.s.

airstrikes as one of the reasons for the high civilian casualty count when maloof director of research for the middle east at amnesty international said quote iraq in coalition forces failed to take adequate measures to protect civilians instead subjecting them to a terrifying barrage of fire from weapons that should never be used in densely populated civilian areas and civilians either died as a result of bad planning or because iraqi or u.s. forces didn't ensure that they were targeting terrorists well it says the truth needs to be uncovered and an investigation by an independent commission needs to be pursued for han hack deputy spokesman for the u.n. secretary general had this to say we're certainly pleased that there are no longer in control of the city at the same time we want to make sure that all of the forces that have helped liberate the city of mosul in recent days including the rock the security forces and their allies will make sure that civilians are protected.

rule of law is respected typically what we want to see is restoration of the rule of law in mosul after several years in which the people of the city have not had any real way of having their rights respected for now amnesty international is calling on iraq and the u.s. to publicly admit its failure to protect civilians living in mosul and washington national banks are to eat well this week the u.s. is hosting the latest in a series of meetings for the global coalition against isis here in d.c. while substantial progress is being made other concerns are rising just this past sunday the iraqi prime minister declared victory against isis in the city of mosul this is where the group's leader of al baghdadi proclaimed the so-called caliphate there three years ago by the in the group of its main territory does dampen its brand some experts believe this increases the likelihood that isis will focus on

other regions for alternative attacks and for more on this we turn to matt abrams a terrorism expert in international relations professor at northeastern university max first i'd like to read you something from malaysia's defense minister it was said ahead of this week's meeting he said quote what happened in the middle east has a direct impact here yesterday i mean sunday they claim there were no more islamic state elements in mosul and iraq following their offensives the question is where did they go this we need to monitor so max with all the recent threats in southeast asia and even the president declaring martial law in mindanao do you believe the global coalition against isis should be most concerned with that particular area coming under attack. sure i mean first off there are definitely islamic state elements even in these you know so called liberated areas there will be isis attacks in mosul but if this is still very much entrenched in russia that

said we are turning a corner on this group it seems that in terms of its stronghold of both in iraq and in syria and out the group has gotten crushed over the past few years from all sorts of different parties including russian airpower it has forced the group to make a choice either stay in the same position in and fight basically a losing fight or decentralized to other territories in those countries maybe the does or or to to go more internationally and so i do think that southeast asia is very much on the radar i think increasingly when we talk about the fight against the bhaumik state we're going to have to talk about the philippines maybe malaysia. two i think that the coalition needs to focus there in particular i wouldn't go so far as to say that islamic state is very much

a fluid threat and we're going to react to it wherever it go so we've seen in the public state uptick in the northern side i area as well i wouldn't be surprised if it more isis fighters had also to living out of it remains to be seen how after they will be in afghanistan or in yemen so basically the international coalition really because the p.m.'s fall it's not entirely clear where you know isis fighters will gravitate at this point and do we have any idea as to where the fighters who survived in mosul where have they gone have you seen any of these fighters trying to integrate themselves back into everyday normal life in europe are here in the states or do you see them joining other groups or trying to stay with isis elsewhere. all of the above i don't think there is one sort of modal you know avenue of islamic state i think that celtic will remain they might continue to call

themselves the sky they might be involved in attacks in mosul or they might leave mosul and committed fact elsewhere in iraq or for going to syria i think that will continue to see a large number of defections from islamic state to light up and other sort of al qaeda affiliated groups i think some of these guys are going to try to to return to europe you know where they pledge their allegiance remains to be seen and then maybe some of them will try to peacefully reintegrate although i suspect that would not be the case for most of the fighters i think most of these guys are essentially life first. we basically need to kill them because they're going to sprout up as terrorists under some other gun and how do you see the loss of baghdad the impact on isis and your research what if you found regarding the effects as decapitation

strike and this case meaning taking out the leadership as i say. sure well if i might state is a very unusual grouping in most terrorist group the leader actually has a restraining role the leader tends to be less tactically extreme than the rank and file and so when you take out the leader of a terrorist group very often that group uses even more violence especially against civilian targets in the case of islamic sikhs so the leadership has been at the extreme of the rank and file baghdadi footnote of pressure from lower level members not to attack certain targets or not to use too much violence but in a way he's just given a green light from the very start operative all over the world to strike any target they wish whenever they want saddam and so i don't actually see the nature of islamic state violence changing that much with the loss of baghdad he i do think

that he was useful though as a recruitment tool in terms of luring foreign fighters from all over the world and now that you've got all of them i think that will be even more of you know quite a resurgence and the groups that that really a segment typically are ones that have a charismatic leader and so i'll be following closely who will step into the leadership void and so in your eyes what is the future of isis i mean when he talked about you know where you see them possibly going you think i'll continue to use the same methods you know on the internet recruitment as well as their brainwashing techniques do you think anything is going to change with the time. i think that their propaganda is going to have to change i think that the notion of the caliphate is dead they can no longer sell the idea that there will be an islamic state in iraq and in syria instead i think more and more they'll be talking about dungeon the point to attack spun you know coalition partners and try to rally

aggrieved muslims to to strike out in revenge but i do think that this group really does have its work cut out for it because really the organization has imploded and it's very hard to sell a group when it's widely perceived as failing and thank you so much we're out of time as a brand and terrorism experts and international relations professor at northeastern university really appreciate your time. the conflict in iraq and syria has been discussed in today's politicking with larry king he talks with former u.s. congressman ron paul this time and look at the ceasefire achieved in syria by trump and watch the polls show at six thirty pm eastern time you know in a way i think russia and putin will i think obama loses you know get rid of us saw the saudi has to go that's no longer talked about anymore so i think in

a way we're losing out there but if you just look at it in a short span of time what happened before and what happened after what happened right now i think the real winners if this holds holds true it will be the american people you know because it will emphasize a different type of foreign policy rather than assuming that what we need are twenty thousand more troops in syria and but that's what i fear. about the foreign policy today because we are building up we we haven't admitted that it's not going well in syria and afghanistan and iraq just think of the mess it's been left over there and the conclusion ought to be coming in our direction and i say our the libertarian direction of saying you know maybe we're not doing so well running the world that may who we ought to just sort of try to get along with people and trade with people but not try to believe that we know what's best for everybody well there are new reports claiming the u.s. is looking to build that if military presence in libya and many recent increase in

violent clashes outside the city of tripoli. according to the country's health ministry the latest shooting left at least four people dead including civilians well dozens more were injured artie's palace leer has the latest on the libyan crisis was supposed. to be in capital of tripoli between forces that i lie and you know some. of the. it took over last year it's in the government of the people and it's been struggling to maintain its hold over the capital city now those forces are back in the sense that all the world to the film it didn't quite minister whale they were pushed out of the libyan capital in may this year and at the time they issued a statement to launch a counterattack and since then have been planning to regroup they refused to recognize this government of national accord now the health ministry has said that

at least two people have been killed we understand that two of them all civilians they're foreign workers and at least twenty five injured the clashes broke out on sunday evening at the same time this fighting in libya's second largest city of bengazi we hearing from little forces there that they closing in on a three year campaign to take over the city now all of this is part of the possible chaos that has engulfed libya since two thousand and eleven when the libyan dictator moammar gadhafi was overthrown since then they have been various ministers and administrations that has been violent hold of those oil rich countries now the latest developments really expose the vulnerability of those in backed government it has been struggling as i say take control it has managed to co-opt some of the various groups a bit at the same time it's made little progress in terms of really integrating them and providing lost and security in this latest round of violence we see that there is heavy light and medium weaponry being used we know that power lines have

been hit people have been fleeing their homes a lot of ways it is complaining that their homes have been shelled have been damaged shops have been damaged roads have been closed and people are struggling to make their way back home the libyan national army has defeated extremists in a big god the six years after the murder of libyan leader moammar gadhafi and since twenty eleven the country has been in chaos with different factions badly for power ellen a commander khalifa haftar are has now claimed victory in the east argy bargy this contest has the latest from los angeles that will this finally bring peace to libya . last week natasha general khalifa haftar made this announcement on television take a listen as a political hero the military forces announce to you the news of liberation of the town of bint ghazi from terrorism a total liberation. but just days later his forces announce that in fact the

fighting is now continuing now this is not the first time that general have to have prematurely declared victory but it does look like the last of the militants are being driven out and i want to mention that it's unclear exactly who these militants are because there are very few reporters on the ground so all of this information is coming through open sources meanwhile violent clashes are continuing in cities outside of benghazi just this week several people were killed during fights between forces that are aligned with the u.n. backed government of national accord and one of its many rival groups it's unclear whether that fighting will further strengthen support for have tar which he mainly enjoys in the east other people in the country accuse have tar and his forces of committing human rights violations and say that they worry that have to are will simply become another gadhafi style strongman natasha and it seems as though commander have to his loyalty is has shifted on the libyan political scene for four decades now so where does he stand right now. that's exactly right and right now it

appears like he stands for himself however things could change now there is a lot of mystery and confusion surrounding exactly who have there is what his motives are and even what his history is but based on reports here's what i can tell you now have to help to get off the seized power from king idris in one nine hundred sixty nine but he was later disowned by gadhafi in the eighty's have tar then spent two decades trying to topple gadhafi which he did from virginia after joining a u.s. backed dissident group the washington post says even referred to have tar as a former cia asset he only returned to libya in two thousand and eleven during the uprisings and in two thousand and fourteen he called on libyans to fight against militant forces alongside him in benghazi where he has served as the commander of the libyan national army since then he has seized control of libya's main oil ports and refused to acknowledge the un backed government of national accord in tripoli which of course has angered the united states and its western allies so right now

it's unclear where exactly his alliances will go it seems like his loyalties change any time it suits his best agenda and right now that agenda appears to be taking control of libya's atocha right to hit us on to thank you so much for that report. all the names trump and russia never seem to be out of the headlines but now with the president's son that the spotlight torreon on vulcan serves a meeting he held with a rational lawyer during his father's election campaign are to kill him up in the story. began with allegations from the new york times about a meeting which took place in june of two thousand and sixteen between donald trump jr jared questioner and a russian lawyer now the new york times cited confidential government records saying that this lawyer that had met with the two of them was somehow connected to the kremlin now donald trump jr has come forward he's released a statement saying that there was no meaningful information given at the meeting and furthermore he's actually released

a chain of e-mails between himself and the intermediary who set up the meeting now also the lawyer has come forward and says that she had no idea what the meeting that took place was supposed to be about she had not been informed in the lead up to the meeting and that she does not work for the russian government this is what she had to say you have the impression it appears that they were going to be told some information. about the d.n.c. how did they get the impression that it was between you. knew he didn't even. believe. he did did five all of the. now when asked about this at the press briefing white house spokesperson sarah huckabee sanders replied by pointing out that the democratic national committee collaborated with forces in ukraine in order to carry out research during the

elections this is what was said by the white house spokesperson if you're looking for an example of a campaign coordinator with a foreign country or a foreign source look no further than the d.n.c. who actually courtenay did opposition research with the ukrainian embassy and no one in this room to my knowledge really had a big problem with that. at this point it seems that paranoia about russia is very widespread in the united states we recently heard a call from two congressmen who are actually calling for an investigation into what they're calling russia's propaganda war against fossil fuels alleging that somehow russia is trying to hurt the american fossil fuel industry this kind of thing has become very widespread and in this report i look a little bit further in-depth into this question. you've been watching mainstream american television lately you've probably noticed a recurring theme former cia chief john brennan is connecting the dots between

russia and wiki leaks a lot of connect the dots information as you said the dots that connect the dots to get connected back with russia connect the dots russia did it it's a game of connect the dots first find something that you do not like and then somehow blame russia for it and we're not just talking about hillary clinton losing her guaranteed presidency back in two thousand and sixteen are you a fan of donald trump's energy dominance plan if you are then the environmentalists who are protesting against fracking a controversial shale drilling technique are part of the kremlin conspiracy if you connect the dots it is clear that russia is funding u.s. environmental groups in an effort to suppress the domestic oil and gas industry specifically hide really cracking. and on the other hand if you're an environmentalist don't you know that putin is the mastermind behind the controversial keystone pipeline. are you worried about the right

white nationalism the right wing extremism. and on top of that the occupy wall street protests can be traced all the way back to russia's secret security services and also moving give to practical examples of how the russians have been engaged in our political system one was an anti fracking campaign that the russians seemed to be engaged in another one was the occupy wall street movement that the russians were engaged in as well sure the financial crisis low wages income inequality had nothing to do with it we all know that people were protesting back in two thousand and eleven because they got orders from moscow right. and the public trust in the mainstream media is shrinking it's because someone is feeding them fake and false information guess who

. what about false information and real fake is being put out five russians russian propagandists russian operatives well that's certainly possible and there's well within there are. zero zero zero zero in their bag of tricks or something you might try to do russia has become the world's scapegoat for everything and it's this weird witch hunt that like now if something doesn't go someone's way and international business or elections or whatever the automatic finger pointing goes to russia i guess it's just the automatic excuse now especially with this fracking story in particular like ok they're saying now that russia is involved with. power and environmentalists to stop fracking it just doesn't make sense so from hacking to fracking it's all because of the kremlin whenever something goes wrong you can always say that the russians did it never seems to get old. art see new york well tune into on contact tonight for the second installment of chris hedges

interview with the renowned linguist author and political analyst professor noam chomsky they discuss how the public relations industry working on behalf of corporations and the government has effectively created an informed electorate that will make irrational choices against their own interests take a look pick the last election as an example particularly striking feature of that was that issues were ignored in favor of personalities so it has not been true for a long time though in truth for a very long time but here it was really dramatic after all we were facing two existing true crises. new in human history one which has been going on for a while is the threat of nuclear war which in fact increases you know there's the threat of environmental catastrophe now take a look at how much coverage it was with the. in the last two elections just these two things well even on the meet the media it's not just coverage the media does

all they talk about is russia not an issue you know talk about marginal issues in fact there's there is a media principle which you know better than the school object to do it which means pay attention to what's happening within the beltway if you can report accurately what's happening there you're objective talk about something else you're gossip also discusses as and since within the beltway they're talking about what's important the power you keep to that part two of chris hedges interview airs tonight at seven thirty and ten pm eastern right here on r.t. america. a marine aircraft traveling from north carolina to california crashed monday in mississippi killing fifty marines and one navy corpsmen in the fiery wreck at the cording to a statement released by the u.s. marines air traffic control reportedly lost contact with the k.c. one thirty refueling tanker around four pm local time debris from the crash was

a hotel under siege a clear reference to the deadly terror attack on british tourists in tunisia two years ago thirty u.k. citizens were killed back then r.t.s. probably boyko took to the streets of london to find out if such tips cast dark clouds over a holiday mood. police have now released a video showing british terrorists how to react in case they get caught up in a terrorist attack becomes a safe route to get out now this is the best option it are just people to think of the instructions in the same way they think about a line safety video everyone is a we have when you're going to need a plane you get a safety briefing. and if the plane come down and they're trying to see you the very unlikely is just giving you the knowledge of what to do not to do if you caught up in such an attack kind of what's your response to that kind of safety video. streaming into who are you going on.

maybe quite scared to go really at work right but will find it quite scary terrorists because on the train. pretty frightening missing that it definitely would make me worry about traveling the time that we think everything is about terrorism and stuff like that it just adds more to you what's going on today to kind of relax not to think about potential terrorist attacks i think it's a bit scary they could just travel in the haven't they there and what's going to happen next. every where there's a fire or a terrorist attack every day they say it's like you do worry generally more about even trying to get out to get you know to do your daily shop sometimes can be worrying kind of a new reality. but if you're safe. would it change your plans this kind of thing watching this kind of video i. wouldn't you know. it wouldn't deter you from going away. you just have to deal with it every day so police say there's no

specific intelligence that british holidaymakers are going to be targeted but they still want you to watch the film saw packing your beach bags belgium's the ban on the full face veil in public doesn't violate any rules well it's according to a decision by the european court of human rights the ruling comes after two muslim woman trying to get the movie legally overturned here's our charlotte dubinsky. well this case was brought by two women a belgian national and a moroccan you said that it was their choice to wear the kneecap this is the veil covering which covers everything but their eyes and that because of that this band had actually infringe their freedoms and they said that the law was discriminatory but the european court of human rights disagreed saying that however controversial the ban was it was necessary in a democratic society and it said it was necessary to guarantee that he cygnus of

living together now other countries in europe have also said that they are considering a band with politicians who are course you are now supporting the idea including germany's chancellor angela merkel and this is what many have done in interpersonal communication plays a crucial role. that's why the true face veil is not appropriate and should be banned wherever legally possible. before. we oppose the full body veil not just the burka but also any other veil that hides the eyes for it's not something that belongs to our open society to show your face is part of communication systems and that's why we urge everyone to show their face so i. mean it's a symbol of female enslavement it's a vision of women that we have to approach now several other countries have already instituted a ban on a full fail covering in the public areas that schools hospitals government

buildings such as in france in two thousand and eleven where women who go out and wear a full fail covering whether they are french nationals or tourists facing a fine while those who force women to wear a full veil covering could face a fine of up to thirty thousand euros and time in jail in the netherlands m.p.'s have already back the idea of this yet it's not become law but european countries are not the only ones that have instituted a ban or are considering it the act. can country of chad which is a muslim majority country actually insititute a ban on the full face covering back in two thousand and fifteen and that was following two suicide attacks in the country and they said it was necessary to prevent terrorism in future. coming up on our t.v. is president talk about to make good on his campaign promise to expand the use of the guantanamo bay detention facility you don't want to miss the upcoming reports.

there's a real irony going to. leave the labeling for a responsible choice in the people and there is always well that's what it's always been seen in sri. lanka all the ordinary you know wholesale surveillance c.c.l. you have already and while there's an untruth to sizes then trump has used the social media site oil are always on the story goes it's garbage in real. thought. and what politicians do such as you can. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. for some want to be rich. but you do like to be crooks that's what before three of the more you get. interested always in the waters of the house. there should.

be the average viewer just after watching a couple segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't tell when you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth. parties able to do that every story is built on going after the door to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical people when a company in the environmental groups in this ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell everyone you know want their work.

during the election campaign president trying to keep the why behind him obey prison open well the white house is now signaling intentions to stick into the controversial promise made by america's commander in chief our team's marine corps niamh brings us the details president trump is reportedly preparing to repopulate the notorious prison his predecessor spent eight years trying to close on friday attorney general jeff sessions and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein reportedly visited the guantanamo bay detention center for an update on current operations this marks the first concrete actions the white house has taken on getting zero since president trump took office now america's new leader has promised to load get up with quote bad dude the u.s. attorney general meanwhile calls the prison a very fine place insisting there's no legal reason not to send new detainees there

since rocco bamma left the overall forty one detainees remain at get mo five are cleared for transfer and twenty six are being held indefinitely while the former democratic president failed to close the facility his executive order calling for good mode to be shut down is still technically the law of the land this year guantanamo has pretty much been running on autopilot however the. trump administration is signaling intentions of a drastic change including the possibility of housing isis suspects at the island prison in a statement the justice department said keeping this country safe from terrorists is the highest priority of the trumpet ministration recent attacks in europe and elsewhere confirm that the threat to our nation is immediate and real and it remains essential that we use every lawful tool available to prevent as many attacks as possible now many legal experts argue that sending isis fighters to

guantanamo could prove risky since the authorization for the use of military force being used to justify indefinite law of war detention does not specifically name isis now walgett mo has become synonymous with torture international law violations and among the worst consequences of america's war on terror many republican lawmakers are now embracing the prison as a symbol of strength and toughness as of now president trump has yet to sign an executive order on the guidelines for future use of the facility or outlining who exactly would be sent there targeting bad dude like the u.s. leader previously promised could wind up being almost anyone marina porton. miami a new report details how the top adviser for a private security firm responsible for policing dakota access pipeline protests also led military intelligence effort for the one thousand nine hundred two los angeles riots the blog found retired major general james marks led intelligence

window of opportunity is closing rapidly when you look at a conservative estimate of how fast the mammals are going extinct today iran somewhere between say fifteen and a hundred times as fast as the new fast rate from the past nearly thirty percent of the twenty seven thousand six hundred land based mammals bird amphibians and reptiles these these studied are decreasing in terms of their numbers and territorial range the researchers call that an extremely high degree of population decay the scientists also analyzed the hundred seventy seven mammal species and found that all of them had at least lost a third of their territory between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and fifteen and nearly half of those species experienced the deer population decline but researchers say that it's not just a species being wiped out that poses a problem but also populations dwindling so they can fill their role in an ecosystem we are not likely to lose the honeybee as a species but we're already losing it in lots of places where it's very important

say for pollinating are almost orchards according to the study researchers say that it's not too late to avoid this extinction from happening but i don't think great effort to conserve the already threatened species to alleviate some of the pressures of their population reporting in new york trinity chávez r.t. . coming up on our team new research shows that getting those these at night is critical for your health we've got the man behind the report. coming up. what the politicians do you should. put themselves on the laws to give a shit. solem you want to be just as. much right to be as you like it. would be if it had been perceived. as a. question. about

your sudden passing i've only just learned your yourself in taking your last about the turn. you're out to cut up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a game still some more fun to those that didn't like to question our art. and i secretly promised to never be like him it said one does not leave a few more of the same as one enters mine it's consumed with death this one. speaks to us that we know what it takes. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker . for

decades the american middle class so spread railroaded by washington politics i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get a break in the break here. but. i'm going to do just. your last. i. will sleep is sometimes hard to come by during the work week and compare it to the one nine hundred forty s. when we were closer to the ideal eight hour sleep cycle in this day and age we're lucky if we can get close to seven hours of uninterrupted sleep and according to more than ten thousand studies the number of people who can survive on six hours of sleep or less showing no impairment is

a whopping zero percent and for more on this matter let's bring in bryce mandarin assistant professor in the department of psychiatry and human behavior at the university of california irvine thanks so much for joining that surprise she ought to be here thank you very much and so there are a percent doesn't sound very promising even can you tell us some of the health effects that people will start see when they begin skimping on exactly how much they sleep. sure yeah there's i think a best way to summarize it would be to say there is no organ system in the body that is impervious to the effects of sleep loss kidney function liver function the immune system the brain itself the heart the cardiovascular system all of those things are impacted by sleep loss particularly if it's chronic. you know there's there's there's no system that is left on spare intermixing on yeah ok and well let's talk about the technology affecting our sleep cycle so many of us are just

simply ticked into our phones reading up on the latest headlines there you know checking our social media before hitting the hay but can this really impair our sleep tell us why and also how we can break this habit sure it's actually a combination of the technology and the way we organize our lives so we no matter how late we stay up we typically have things we have to do the next day so if we have to go to work or we have to go to school for an adolescent teen and so that is what happens as you stay up later and later and you get up at the same time in your sleep that's tailed in addition to that exposure of blue light can shift your internal biological clock to tell you that it thinks that it's earlier than it actually is and that will make you stay up later and then you'll go to bed later and then you'll have less sleep because you'll get up at the same time because the alarm clock to ring in telling is time to get up and boy you'll want to smash it with a hammer but that's because you're not sleeping enough and i put him in

a vicious cycle and eat into talked with about caffeine i mean most people turn to coffee or tea to help them get through the day freshly now that most of us work more hours in the day or even on our off hours how much is too much when it comes to impacting our sleep cycle at night well it's it's just as much about how much you have as it is when you have it so caffeine is quite a long half life and so the recommendations for the american academy. medicine is to not not really have any caffeine after effort to pm once you start having it later in the day it's going to affect your nighttime sleep in addition having you know more than you know one or two cups of coffee a day is considered a lot when we do research studies on sleep we were people in the lab we typically don't include people who drink more than two or three cups of coffee a day because it didn't stay on too much caffeine and we know their sleep is going to be disturbed interesting and i think people here in the newsroom drink a lot more than the day and you know i have. i heard several people saying that

they drink wine in the evening to help them sleep so what kind of impact of alcohol have on our sleep cycle well it appears to have a good effect if you think about how you feel right that's why people call it a night cap and it has a sedative effect in that you'll feel sleepy at the beginning of your night but unfortunately as it clears out of your system you'll have a disinhibition in disinhibition effect where your sleep like to get worse in the second half of the night so it's not really recommended to drink a lot of alcohol to knock yourself out at night that said there's been a lot of research showing that you know a single glass of wine with dinner at night is not bad necessarily if your sleep is long snot right before bed and has many health benefits too it's really don't binge drink at night that's not fiercely good to know and what about those who have to rely on health to sleep are there any other natural alternatives any technique about turning the mind off at night that you can share with us. yes so that's

actually a really interesting question you ask for many years the first line treatment for sleep disorders like insomnia for example which is a very prevalent sleep so you can't have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep or you get up too early and you can't fall back asleep again this is a very common disorder and the first line treatment had been pharmacological so you take drugs for it but just recently the american academy of sleep medicine it said the first line treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia and that that actually works as well as any drug and has this long sustained effect and no side effects and it's you know it's a very useful technique all the science backs that up so that would be the best thing to do is talk to your doctor if you have insomnia have trouble sleeping at night talk to your doctor about maybe getting your insomnia treated with common behavioral therapy and also people who exercise that night do you think that will affect the sleep crackle. yes so there is it's good exercise it's better for your

health in general if you exercise very late at night it can impair your sleep but if you exercise in the afternoon it can actually make your sleep better there's a lot of research that shows that that if you tend to exercise more your sleep tends to be better and particularly if you're someone who's normally very sedentary like many elderly people are if you start being more active you improve your sleep at night you sleep better you have in a while thank you so much bryce mandurah system professor in the department of psychiatry and human behavior at the university of california irvine and we appreciate your time it's not to be here thanks for having me. and starting this week a new radio station is hitting the airwaves at the nation's capital the sputnik outlet is launching its own broadcast at one of five point five f.m. in washington d.c. it promises to host talk shows with entirely different opinions focusing on issues than details often admitted by the mainstream media our teeth alexy our reports from the stations opening events you'll probably have heard this name if you

followed the senate hearings on the russia but now not only you'll be able to read the sputnik you will also be able to listen to the sputnik. starting this week one o five point five f.m. in washington d.c. sputnik will be launching a fully fledged radio station twenty four seven broadcasting different opinions and different talk shows on politics and everything related and despite you know what some may say a somewhat negative press that the outlet has been receiving lately that is something that the management of splitting believes can actually help the outlets to win the audience there's so much. sheer hue here say about sputnik. that i hope it will make people at least curious that they would want to tune in the fact is that most of what they heard the above those probably isn't all guys. talking about things that are not being covered by the mainstream media and even

when they talk about the topics that are being covered in the poor we have a very different prospect of a prospect if it often is missing from the mainstream crowd but how do you when audience in such a difficult time with the management of sporting things that knows the answer but simply by getting different opinions on its airwaves now one of the shows which will be broadcasted on this where waves at one hundred five point five a family in washington d.c. is called the faultlines it's hosted by a staunch progressive bernie supporter and trump supporter and investigative journalist one thing i think people are surprised who listen to the show are surprised at how often that we agree that we do agree on some common themes because we're both populist kind of people were both kind of anti-establishment people so we tend to agree but we have fun too we're very good friends but we have a lot of fun and we don't mind you know voicing our opposing views what's important is that people who are watching the show know the truth so we tell people we

recommend people look into their own look into it for themselves do all their own research and then we give them our point is our point of view when we walk away and people can do what they want with it and i really think that the establishment media in the united states doesn't want people to know how much people agree because the people agree with garland my talk about health care for instance we're both like yeah well the farmer sort of coal companies are not good are not are not good. and i think a lot of trump's supporters feel that way they're really concerned about big insurance companies and i think a lot of british ships are borders are but but the problem is media who's buying the commercial time and the answer is the big pharmaceutical companies those running sport they do not believe that the united states is a divided country it's just that the people are not able to sit down and talk about things and this is something that the radio station will be looking to do is since telling the i'm told has been its main principle since the very inception. the

reporting from washington d.c. . and the u.s. state department has once again made a factual phone in a twenty seventeen state report the u.s. government shamed moscow for not finding a church run shelter for trafficking victims maybe tish's town of key taze that's right fake city a russian atlantis if you will is part of an legend that's been under a watery grave for centuries so how about that for a mythical. well that does it for now from one of the stories we've covered go to youtube dot com slash r t america check out our website r t dot last america you can follow me on twitter at natasha's tweet question mark.

all the world. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are anti american playing r.t. america. r t america. many ways. just like you really knew. you could never your own. so the heart. of the world all the world's a stage we are. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't tell the big picture . speculate a little bit and when you question more find what you're looking for let the. political stuff. we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the

big picture. the feeling of. everyone in the world should experience for me and you'll get it on the you'll. live. according. you're watching american. more. or neo liberalism or analyst. or patriotism. or truth is not a counsel to the worst socialism. barbara the result is

a moral order. of empire or small city where the crimes are all states. where the crime stories are terrible. chryssavgis where i question him on. what newsrooms decide to cover is important they get to decide what everyone is going to be concerned with they have huge power so what stories news organizations choose to cover is incredibly influential but maybe just as influential is what they decide not to cover late for instance when mainstream american news outlets decided not to cover a british report which basically destroyed the us as official narrative about why

the west invaded libya a couple years ago journalist joe laurie i just had a great job investigating how the american media covered this report in an article for consortium he was entitled hiding us live about libyan invasion and it loria leads us through his journey of trying to find out just how the us covered this british report basically the report says that the west's military intervention in libya was based on inaccurate intelligence and rony as assumption so this should have been big news to americans who are supposedly so concerned about how their government acts this british report says. that we backed a completely bunk invasion on another country and that should have been big news the report also says that the intervention was a bust causing political and economic collapse humanitarian crises and even the growth of isis so this report basically said that the invasion was a catastrophe which should have been big news not only did we back an invasion into

a country for the wrong reasons but it helped this supposedly our biggest threat so it's crazy that lauri's article basically shows that the us media completely ignored the british report altogether for his article laureate a lot of searching through archives he looked at the washington post to see if they covered the damning report but couldn't find one article about it same thing for the l a times he found one article from the new york times about the report but it was out of their london bureau not new york and entirely blame to the brits and the french leaving out any us blame entirely loria found very few articles from mainstream news outlets about this british report it is extensive search and most were out of foreign bureaus or scrubbed america's responsibility from the report altogether so apparently most mainstream american news rooms all decided not to cover this report which leads to most americans not knowing how screwed up it

was that under president obama we fueled up batched invasion so that's exactly why what the media doesn't cover is just as important as what they did. it's. called the feeling of coming. every the world should experience cleaned up and you get it on the old roll. the old according to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride.

most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down in the news business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions there. see.
