thank you so. when i started going. to. trade secretary accuses the b.b.c. of biased coverage of the brags that. positive stories about leaving the e.u. . i can't. recall a single. times when i have seen good economic news the b.b.c. didn't describe those despite rick's. list is. in the iraqi city of mosul despite the fact the city was declared free all the islamic state last week. so i told the americans. to return to iraq.
7:01 am
the iraqi vice president nouri al maliki has said his country's people will not tolerate foreign military bases there adding he's already warned the u.s. against such a move. and activists in the french president's party on the move demanded legal action claiming they were probably consulted on quote undemocratic changes to the statutes. it's two o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from austria with me and. welcome to the program the u.k.'s international trade secretary has accused the b.b.c. of willfully ignoring positive news on the brig's it process the claim came in the letter to the broadcasters director general however he has already voiced his concerns before. tommy open a newspaper or listen to the radio t.v.
7:02 am
the story is done very negatively it almost is going to be impossible for us to do these trade deals does he feel that we spoke wrong and undermines the work that he's doing yeah well mr speaker it does appear that some elements of our media would rather see britain feel than see brits succeed. and i i cannot recall a single time in recent times when i have seen good economic news that the b.b.c. didn't describe despite brics it. let's cross live now to our teens polly boyko who is in london polly why is the trade site been so unhappy about the b.b.c.'s coverage of bread. well he does appear very disenchanted doesn't he so he's written this letter of complaint to the head of the b.b.c. saying that the b.b.c. isn't reporting the positive economic data relating to britain's decision to leave the european union so says that even though his own press team
7:03 am
a calling up the b.b.c. news desks offering good news then not choosing to publish it or to talk about it so he's basically accusing them of putting a big fat dampener on things economically over bragg's it and that in turn is hampering he says his ability to strike new trade deals which is of course his job as international trade secretary he's taken stock with a particular phrase as you heard him talking there that the b.b.c. often uses in its headlines and that is despite bragg's it so they'll have positive economic news quite often followed by those two words suggesting an element of surprise that britain hasn't been crippled economically ever since they took that decision to leave the european union last june we've done a bit of research ourselves we've counted dozens of such headlines on the b.b.c. website since the referendum take place last year liam fox is of course one of the
7:04 am
gulf government's chief brags it is as they're called he was very pro leaving very positive about britain's future outside the european union. and surprisingly this letter to the b.b.c. has really riled up the pro e.u. cams in the u.k. one pro e.u. liberal democrat has accused liam fox is acting like a tinpot dictator exerting pressure on the bastion of free speech that is the media basically fred threatening the freedom of the media and trying to blame these types of headlines on his own inability to. do his job as international trade secretary so the probe brags that politicians clearly very unhappy with the b.b.c. we had just recently the leader of the house of commons andrea lead who's also a chief brags that in here she said that broadcasters need to be
7:05 am
a bit more patriotic about the way they cover bragg's it issues which got a lot of people similarly hot under the collar back when she said it for its part the b.b.c. has dismissed liam fox his claims it says that its organization takes coverage. and no organization takes coverage of the economy more seriously than the b.b.c. that they don't recognise this characterisation that's been made and outlined in the letter but the b.b.c. is always happy to talk to politicians it'll be interesting to see if any of this changes the number of despite brags that headlines going forward certainly will be interesting artie's polly reporting from london thanks. a correspondent from russia sputnik news agency has been caught up in the gun battle in mosul in iraq while she was taking pictures of the mine clearing
7:06 am
operation in the historic part of the city she managed to escape unharmed and showed her video with us. about am often man just a thought well come on are called looking for me from a comment about that. and i. know you are so high on who. got the you got the man. i gather you go for your i do often i did not come from a dress i was taught. and also one of our beloved. will.

7:08 am
janice came under fire despite a total victory over islamic state proclaimed in the hole just last week iraq's vice president nouri al maliki has warned there are still more to hide his fighters in iraq but in an interview he emphasized one of his major concerns now is to push u.s. forces out of the country. iraqi society is against the building of foreign military bases on the territory of the country iraqi people not like to reinstall the japanese who rejoiced at american bases so i told the americans it's not in your interests to return to iraq and build your bases you will get burned again you will come as invaders and leave is invaded. in the interview iraq's vice president said he would jack's claims by washington that the victory in america's achievement. has been looking deeper into the interview. with the former prime minister didn't mince his words commenting on who really deserves credit for turning the tide of the war
7:09 am
i regret the coalition's position i don't agree that mosul is a coalition victory but it was their war it was a war fought by the iraqi army yes coalition jet supported us but the main effort was made by iraqi soldiers public militias and iraqi aviation strong words from maliki who was similarly scathing about the alleged u.s. role in the creation of arsal force many analysts view the world's most notorious terror group was emerging from the post iraq war vacuum the former prime minister though went a step further seeing this as part of a wider historic us foreign policy strategy for. the obama administration bears a huge amount of responsibility for the rise in expansion of islamic state and for the consequences that followed islamic states didn't appear from nowhere islamic state resembles the taliban which was formed by the american administration to oppose the soviet authorities during the war in afghanistan just across the syrian
7:10 am
border i sill is also on. it's way to defeat as a battlefield force with russia backing the assad government salmi against the rate of terrorist groups a russian presence in syria has been routinely criticized by many western powers maliki though sees russia's involvement in a very different light. without the russian stance the whole region would have crumbled the map would have looks totally different without russia's approach to the syria problem which differs from america's the syria regime would have followed that would have energized the terrorists led to a change map of the region and it would have led to baghdad's fall i would eisel seemingly on its last legs all eyes are on what's next for iraq and despite a string of military victories for government forces the battle for a united country is far from over well if the split between this sunni's in this year's remains in place and one group of states supports the sunnis and another the she is it will contribute to the creation of
7:11 am
a new eisel with new ideas new faces and new flags a so far the main efforts in iraq are focused on the short term goal of defeating eisel but with a whole patchwork of regional and internal conflicts it will be the longer term wider problem is that will need careful and painstaking resolution in the coming years. as the residents have been complaining about the huge destruction caused by american airstrikes they said their frustration with professor mohammad marandi from the university of tehran he gave us footage that he filmed during a trip to the devastated city as you can see the level of destruction is truly shocking buildings in real in burned cars and rubble are all around mohammad marandi shared his experience of visiting the city. they all seem those who we spoke to bob and tara lee step four they were all they all seem very pleased too for the city to have been retaken but they were saying that the
7:12 am
american airstrikes were very devastating and very. hurtful to ordinary people and that many civilians were killed they also they more or less across iraq in the cities that i've been to i'm in baghdad right now people have been blaming the united states more than anyone else for this devastation. unfortunately the iraqi government to spend doesn't have the money to rebuild the city because it's still fighting the war it's trying to liberate the west of the country there is no way that any of these cities are going to be rebuilt any time soon and i think that many people will gradually leave the country and move towards europe because there's just no hope. we also actually the same group of people we visited aleppo right after the break in as well and what it was very interesting or very unfortunate was that the
7:13 am
devastation was very similar to the devastation that we saw in west and the the bombing by the americans basically destroyed so much of that part of the city the west side of the city yet the western media said almost nothing about it was when in syria russian syrian iranians were trying to liberate the city from their forces what the western media was talking about the russian air force and the syrian air force bombing civilian targets and so on but what we saw in mosul was the same amount of devastation yet nothing was we see we hear nothing from the western media. the italian prime minister paolo gentle and he has expressed his discontent at the way his country's neighbors every reacting it to the refugee crisis he also said this lee will not be threatened on the matter. we
7:14 am
will not accept lectures and still less threats such as those we have heard from our neighbors in recent days we are doing our duty and expect the whole of europe to do the same alongside italy the warning comes after australia threaten to deploy its ministry to its border with italy to stop migrants from entering the defense minister said his country needs to ready itself and these measures will be essential if the migrant influx from italy is not reduced if he's struggling to cope with the huge wave of new arrivals this year alone almost one hundred thousand refugees have reached the italian coast by sea eighty percent of all my quince who came by sea to europe. it's prompted. to try and draw attention to the crisis staging rallies to protest at what they say is an unsustainable number of refugees being settled in the country crew visited one such town and spoke exclusively to the man. i've been travelling across rural parts of sicily
7:15 am
for almost a week now speaking to locals various officials and refugees and i'll tell you what some people may not be willing to admit it but it has really been divided by the refugee crisis there are locals war ready to welcome migrants and refugees without any preconditions but there are of course others who are willing to put their livelihoods and their concerns first their lives have been hit hard by the economic crisis and they are the ones who now end up having to accommodate the refugees the most vivid example is the mayor of a small community and this is cillian mountains he told me how he started a protest in a place that has been quiet for decades when dozens of refugees and migrants were moved into an abandoned hotel the mayor along with the locals locked away for an
7:16 am
generator that was being done. into the hotel in an exclusive interview he explained to me why they did that. when there's no room there's no room we've already got huge difficulties here like unemployment issues with infrastructure and health care the community does not understand how we can accept more people when we have all these problems but. only disappointed with his own government just like pretty much everyone in italy that's the impression that i've been getting all the people are critical with the european approach in dealing with the refugee crisis the mayor told me that he believes the countries like germany and france are trying to keep up with the status quo whereas it is italy that is getting the impact of the refugee crisis and it is being left alone in dealing with this. the e.u. betrayed italy with a problem that's not a talian per se actually it's totally european we are at the forefront italy is
7:17 am
where they arrive first but the european community doesn't seem to care some countries even closed their borders more of that exclusive interview with the mayor and also my trip to the abandoned hotel that's now been turned into a refugee shelter. and the full report that will be aired on r.t. international throughout tuesday as i mentioned new rural towns in italy a struggling with similar issues a correspondent also discussed the problem with a lawyer who represents a community in the sicilian town where authorities want to have. bonded school building he told us a different approach is needed. putting migrants here into buildings like this is racism these kind of things make us racist. the criticism from the community begins when locals realize that the migrants won't know what to do in this location so when migrants end up with nothing to do and
7:18 am
there's someone amongst them inclined to criminal behavior it means they could start intruding getting into other houses and properties but their problem is not just this it's bigger it's about the lack of ability and opportunities to integrate so in these circumstances the refugees simply when blend into society this could lead to drug dealing issues and crime and that's reason why the community is being so critical the risk is that the shelter could turn into a ghetto a kind of concentration camp because the migrants will have nothing to do here they can't go to the seaside you can't go to the beach gym or socialize with other guys that's what we'll be telling the government. in another bid to draw attention to the growing public discontent over the influx of migrants to italy so called crop all too with an anti migrant message has emerged in a field if there rona it depicts a vessel called africa next to a vertical line leading stop you beneath the ship is a reference to
7:19 am
a proposed nationality nor which would grant italian citizen ship to second generation immigrants born in the country the huge piece was created by a land artist and it stretches across twenty five thousand square meters. after the break we'll have the latest on a disabled man in russia with a severe muscle wasting disease but was jailed for assaults they are with us.
7:20 am
according. to. welcome back to the program key members of the french president's party on the move have issued a statement saying that party leaders are creating a new statute in a quote and democratic way let's get more now from our paris correspondent
7:21 am
charlotte depend. can you just take us through the story. yes well this is another headache for president not going as these grassroot members of the party say that the ruling top the elite the hierarchy of his party la republica all marsh are actually acting democratically and the gossett members say they fear that they will have no power and no say in that party in future. the proposed for members to the role of a supporter and exclude them from governance on both the local and national level. now this is all over the new statue of the party and the members say that they're being forced to vote on something that is unclear has been written in haste and it's actually being forced on them for more high and in fact that they haven't had any much involvement in the say of what this party is meant to be because of course
7:22 am
it is a new party and it does need to define what it stands for but it's not just the members of all who over a public almost who are unhappy with my own style of government and the style of the hierarchy of the republican mosh and members of the french public are also unhappy with that style of government with many people suggesting that they see michael as being too tarion in his style so much so that a poll is showing that he is tumbling in the ratings here in france he's down ten points since he was elected in may and that is the second largest decline for a president so soon after an election and one of the reasons is some of the stats we've seen over the last few weeks including not unprecedented with what is now the head of french forces the billions that general de ville is actually criticized for saying that he was going to cut military spending here in france after doing that president michel and then completely demolished him in public saying i'm the boss
7:23 am
of the forces not you essentially after that deville is resigned and many people say they were unhappy with that kind of style of leadership after all president was elected on this platform of he would be a different type of politician and many people now say yes he is a different type of politician but different in the sense that he seems to be channeling this sort of style of the imperial post of france and not its democratic president. did. you do you can. so yes many people are unhappy with that style of president mark on him now down ten points in the polls here in terms of his popularity ratings and he does seem to be facing more than battle just putting much only starts his presidential term. ok thanks for the overview on that charlotte
