america's. look at it.

from all of us here. we have. a standoff between rights groups u.s. military. liberation is heating up. the international report accusing the coalition of responsibility for civilian casualties. called the allegations disrespectful. the iraqi security forces have put the safety of civilians is the absolute centerpiece of the liberation of the city in providing support to the iraqi security forces we go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that when we strike we only kill the enemy and three of my children were killed in fighting between iraqi forces and nice hill and i blew a six years old in my youngest girl is five this year my older daughter also died

she was seventeen she was killed by a man strike by using exposed weapons with wide area facts disproportionate airstrikes in downstate populated areas the u.s. led coalition and iraqi forces failed to adopt the tactics to the reality on the ground during a b.n.c. are still operating in mosul iraq and u.s. led forces used unguarded artillery mortars and improvised bombs these weapons are highly imprecise and according to human rights watch their use in heavily populated areas like mosul could be quote unlawfully indiscriminate the coalition also used white phosphorus which in no case is allowed under international law or of a child shoebridge a former counterterrorism intelligence officer says the use of white force phosphorous in populated areas could be considered a war crime. if these weapons such as white phosphorus or. tools such as white phosphorus are used as weapons in civilian areas it is likely

to constitute a war crime in any case because you are using a weapon that is an incendiary against civilians or in a way that is reckless as to whether civilians are endangered and therefore it would be could consider it because it is a disproportionate use of that tool as a weapon the obligation legally is to use weapons in a proportionate amount of minimize the risk as far as is possible to civilians but what we see again and again isn't just the use of heavy weapons such as a five hundred thousand pound two hundred fifty five hundred kilo weight bombs and so on being used heavy weapons from across. the indiscriminate unguarded weapon such as rocket launchers such as artillery and mortars these can be quite accurate but many of them on not we saw a precision weapon being used by the americans a couple of months ago the target was to kill two isis snipers and yet one hundred four civilians were admitted body americans to have been killed in that attack even

using precise weapons. for the victory over i saw in mosul u.s. command warby iraqi government about the possible reemergence of an upgraded version of the terrorist organization. and investigates. making sure that i still doesn't set up shop again might be just as hard as getting rid of it in the first place amal everyone is celebrating the liberation of mosul a top u.s. commander in iraq says to be aware of isis two point zero if we keep isis two point zero from the merging the iraqi government is going to have to do something pretty significantly different so what exactly should the iraqi government do differently any advice i think the primary condition that caused the rise of isis was the fact that a significant. portion of the iraqi population this case the sunni's disaffected the iraqis have to make sure after isis is defeated that all iraqis be

a good government in baghdad is their government so sectarian violence is the main destabilizing factor now didn't everything start to go wrong a few years back after a certain little military intervention you know iraq invasion one point zero the consequence was that if we were trying to rehabilitate the country for those elements we're trying to raise spicy tarion violence and that is what we did not foresee so after reducing a formerly stable country to over a decade and a half of chaos the usa now warns baghdad that it better start building bridges and enforcing reconciliation the usa for its part intends to stay the iraqi government has expressed an interest in having the u.s. forces and coalition forces remain after the defeat of isis our government is equally interested in that as are several coalition governments have expressed an interest in joining in that effort so all of this helped with sectarian violence

the violence in iraq and syria has only made the long standing feud between the sunni and the shia worse on top of that you have the kurds and their upcoming independence referendum a lot of this sounds like shutting the barn door after the horse has already bolted it's almost like a case of national amnesia we forget what happened in two thousand and three when president bush said mission accomplished we've done everything we need to do a great victory the reality is that just created the problems that we're still fighting today so the idea that we're going to do the same thing which is to defeat so-called enemy there and then remain indefinitely and somehow the result will be different i think is is an absolute fantasy so we won't necessarily turn iraq into switzerland if we leave but it's inevitable but that somehow the iraqis will have to soul. of their own problems in one way or the other so stay or go it looks like either way the united states will have to make the best of a bad choice caleb oppen artsy new york. the

pentagon has briefed the german military on the new f. thirty five fighter jet as the european nation considers it as a possible replacement for aging tornado warplanes. jacqueline bouvier now examining whether the f. thirty five might make a good substitute the f. thirty five was meant to be the ultimate aircraft the swiss army knife fighter jets ready and equipped for everything the project has been years in the making worked on by the brightest minds from all over the globe and has cost billions and billions of dollars. looks awesome right well the creation of this jack of all trades plane has been

a bumpy road the project has seen numerous drafts due to various issues including having the blueprints stolen at one point and the budget has expanded over time as well nearly doubling the initial figure the f. thirty five program program's record of performance has been both a scandal and a tragedy that has experience issues with cost is going to become completely an affordable aircraft deliveries amount to no more than a mere trickle relative to the original promises of the program what's going to happen with that airplane is going to die slow when i get to his and so what is so great about the f. thirty five it must be perfect for air combat well now according to a report released by the department of defense it displays objectionable or unacceptable flying qualities but surely it has top notch perception accuracy. i'm given no only if the target is clearly marked and undefended the department of defense says the f. thirty five will be forced to fly much closer to the ground to engage targets and

those will likely need to be only lightly defended ones at most well at least it must be great for a pilot to fly wrong again. ok last try has it been a good value well now it's been dubbed the most expensive plane anywhere ever i think you know the answer i know its production costs could yet again up another seven percent hitting four hundred six point five billion dollars just for a bit of perspective belgium's entire g.d.p. in two thousand and fifteen was four hundred and fifty four billion dollars so with all of that in mind you think the project might have been reconsidered already i think the united states government is to fall too far along with what the f. thirty five just to abandon it at this point you have other governments now that

have committed in there whether nato and nato that committed to the thirty it's now become a project that's too big to fail but surely when so much money has been thrown at it there must be something to be proud of so what is it good it's not good at anything what it was a turkey can fly at least a little bit about something jacqueline r.t. washington d.c. . simple as they are here in moscow the us president is due in paris on thursday for a two day visit though amid disagreements with the french leader donald trump and emanuel now calling on to hold a meeting later today and attend the annual the annual parade that is on france's national day that will be on friday. i have friends you go to france they love friends you know love it any more they're not going he said i wouldn't go to france france is no longer france france is no longer france paris is all of our.

could have you with us today for the program. knowledge you use in u.s. politics have become something of a trend this year this time the victim was fox news host tucker carlson for suggesting the u.s. should work with russia in syria but i just accept that people who are bad people share interests and. chinese leaders in one hundred thirty eight saying hillary hasn't attacked us i think he's insane. you can think it's insane all you want he's a compared me to a nazi apologist because i asked a simple question he is as bad as hitler well as soon as i stepped into office the furor comparisons started flooding. now days scrubwoman it's. weird i know the trauma trump being there reminded me of hitler addressing the nazi party but i feel better in these streets

a moustache traded far i'd. like ninety percent of what he says i'm like this guy get it. and see protesters may have been given a taste of their own medicine they were filmed cheering a rally speech by a prankster comprised entirely of quotes by i don't have. there is one thing we must never forget the majority can never replace them their life is like a mirror round round but. if you smile in return. donald trump seen all of you get up while i tell everybody you know it will be only it's not the truth that matters. right. political analyst charles will tell told us the extreme allegations against trump are being used as a distraction just think there's an element on the left that is very fond of gaslighting that is to say when trouble is approaching they come up with the most

incendiary comments to distract from the real damage that's going to come to hillary clinton side they've come up with this enormous canard they get the press whipped up and over here our mainstream press moves in lockstep so if the theme comes down that we've got to compare trump to hitler you'll see the washington post do it the new york times the mainstream media c.n.n. and cetera and i don't recall if i you know i wasn't following it continually during obama's eight years i don't recall protracted assaults against obama under a theory that he was some kind of hitler to call somebody hitler i mean that's a very serious accusation to make if you know anything at all about history and so i think the people who are making those accusations today should be ashamed of themselves. a lot of made a recent trip to a monastery got the tabloids gossiping after a lady in red was apparently spotted in the back of his car when all is not quite

as it seems.

well the kremlin spokesperson was quick to comment stating that it was actually a male body caught in the back of the car. the u.s. has now tested its missile system this was on choose day by shooting down a simulated. range ballistic missile similar to the one allegedly being developed in north korea meantime pyongyang has warned that any kind of military confrontation will quote inevitably lead the u.s. to self-destruction and to quote ton america into a pile of ash although the drill was planned months ago it is being seen as a response to north korea's latest missile test a week ago. and after that test trump expressed dissatisfaction with china for not

putting more pressure on north korea. soon now looks at how washington is trying to lean on the regional powers. even before the eleven missile tests north korea conducted this year the u.s. has long demanded beijing to do more to curb pyongyang's nuclear program this rhetoric even got a term of its own the china responsibility theory which angered beijing if you don't don't change usually conjunction or is neither a focal points of contradictions over the issue no real driving force behind the current escalation of tensions on the peninsula if china is striving to put out the phone while the other is a fueling the flame how can china's if it's achieve expected outcomes how can the tension be eased to be fair china is only major diplomatic ally and key economic partner so makes sense for the u.s. and others to urge beijing to use its leverage on north korea china and other regional partners should also step up their efforts to help shove the security

situation we need to work together to deal with some of the pressing difficult issues such as the threat from north korea but is it fair to expect beijing to ease tensions on the peninsula while washington fans the crisis by flexing its military muscles in the region every chance it gets. china understands what the p.r. government actually thinks that came john government thinks they believe that nuclear weapons are absolutely essential for their own security the u.s. government carries out war exercises simulating the destruction of north korea twice a year they just did a nuclear bomb dropping drill the chinese never had the ability to tell north korea what to do donald trump either did not understand this another words a failure on his part to actually understand the relationship or he was just trying to do arm twisting against china but we can see now from china statement that they

have run out of patience that they consider it to be an abrogation of u.s. responsibility. to find a way to come to a solution in the korean crisis bear in mind that north korea also said its ruling to return to the negotiating table if the u.s. is willing to meet the hermit state halfway namely to stop large scale joint military exercises with south korea and this is how the u.s. responded you know that has to be denuclearization the secretary said he's not going to negotiate his way back to the negotiating table point is simple so instead of the china responsibility theory perhaps washington should stop provoking north korea and take heed of a chinese proverb don't fan the flames that support the fire thanks for joining us so far here on r.t. international plenty of your world news still to come in about half an hour's time though up next on this network it's worlds apart.

thing we are apparently better than blue things better to see people you've never heard of love right down to the night not the president of the world bank though very funny to me seriously send us an e-mail. or. a. clone of welcome to well to parts of the g twenty summit at homburg old ready made history for a number of dissonant. running battles on the streets and painstaking diplomatic career all graphy inside the venue smiles toast and handshakes it made their world order falling apart putting aside media hype and lowered expectations what did this

summit actually achieve well to discuss that i'm now joined by harold james professor of history and international affairs at princeton university professor james thank you very much for your time it's good to have you on the show it's a pleasure to be with you while professor james on the eve of the summit you wrote . the hamburg meeting could become the group's meeting but putting aside the clashes between police and protesters it seemed fairly amicable lots of smiles and handshakes if any among the people who are known to dislike one another were they just putting up a front or was it a genuinely successful meeting given below expectations on the state of global affairs today it's always been good that people can talk to each other they did talk to each other there were always number of important bilateral meetings but i think the sense is the the g. twenty process is really a bit hesitating it was very very important the beginning of the global financial

crisis the biggest success was really back in london in two thousand and nine and i you know i think you can see at the moment ways in which this process is just running out of steam and the obvious the big big story of the summit is the isolation of the united states. so you may make that point in the in one of your article suggesting that just as the international community to isolate russia back in two thousand and fourteen at the twenty summit so has the united states isolated itself in two thousand and seventeen and i wonder what do you really mean by isolation because both putin in two thousand and fourteen and tromp in two thousand and seventeen took part in the plenary sessions they haue bilateral is important bilateral is the. to pardon the family photo so what does isolation at such event really entails is it not being invited to some off to party what you know i didn't

mean that nobody talks to them or are nobody and writes them to parties i mean there are intellectually isolated but. most of the world's nineteen members of the g twenty have a vision about the needs to deal with carbon dioxide and the question of global warming so i'm really quite a long term problem but something where immediate steps are needed and the position of the united states in the current administration is skeptical about that and thinks that it's more important to keep your island gas industry going and keep. make the united states into a big oil and gas exporter well i guess i'm just picking up on this award isolation because it's understandable that any given country may have second thoughts about any given issue but it's still participated in discussions and i assume its allies d. try to persuade.
