6:03 am
there is no such thing as a pinpoint accurate bombing campaign especially not over a city a tightly packed been area a bomb doesn't discriminate doesn't care whether it falls in a house full of isis fighters or civilians and in raca those bombs have been falling on the wrong people all too often or humanitarian colleagues tell us they're deeply concerned by unconfirmed reports of a high number of civilians killed by airstrike in iraq a city over the last twenty four hours yesterday unconfirmed reports indicate that over thirty people were reportedly killed in the us a so chini neighborhood well eight internally displaced people from the same family were killed in a separate attack in another part of the city these attacks if confirmed are shocking reminder that civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict in many parts of syria she got in touch with the u.s.

led coalition we wanted to hear their side of the story and we got a template response there as always taking everything very seriously and as always investigating perhaps soon enough we'll get another template response about his regrets and condolences but nothing will change the ad blitz over russia will continue the bombing has also expanded in iraq it is gone just west of mosul to tally up fatah where the u.s. led coalition and the iraqi army have launched a new operation to clear isis out of the area trapped in the middle of that tens of thousands of civilians in the crossfire between i says the u.s. led coalition and the iraqi military conditions is said to be desperate and it is a d.z. getting out take my word for it trying to escape of open ground in the middle of a battlefield in this heated forty five degree. heat is no easy task is
6:05 am
often fatal but as survivors tell it it's hell back home. people are in chaos everything in our life is destroyed this is my mother she couldn't walk so i put her over my shoulder and we walk like bad for thirteen hours but now we're here and we have nothing now did nobody is difficult there is no air conditioning there is no food we pay for the room food the truth. the united nations judging by how often they've started talking about tell it far and what's happening they're fearing the worst we fear that iraqi civilians are likely to be held as human shields again and that attempts to flee could result in executions and shootings we call on all parties to the conflict to allow civilians to leave the country to area and to access safety we're also concerned about the reports that in some instances displayed displaced iraqi families from tel afar are
6:06 am
being denied access to safety in locations that have capacity to absorb them everyone's concern everyone's sorry regretful when civilians died but nothing changes it's the same exact scenario playing out over and over again where civilians are made to bear the brunt of liberation to pay its cost with their lives all for nicholas who's written about the invasion of iraq believes the u.s. isn't taking the issue of so-called collateral damage seriously enough. they are not taking responsibility for the true scale of civilian casualties in two thousand and seven the u.n. said very clearly the bombing of. civilian areas is. a national human rights law and that the presence
6:07 am
of a few combinations in a civilian area does not change the nature of that area it is still a civilian area essentially what the u.s. has done in the last sixteen years has been to to remain normalize the bombing of cities i'm i'm sure many of you of us have seen video of mosul at the end of this this bombing campaign or of other cities like. seattle in libya that have simply been reduced to rubble by u.s. bombing and the. u.s. forces it may intensify its airstrikes in afghanistan following president from the solution to this sixteen year old military campaign on monday trying one out of the open ended surge of troops and money to the country in a major u.
6:08 am
turn on his election promises he then had to resign or to speak in front of his supporters but was met with protests outside the venue. i. police form a barrier as you can see that over vent on rest smoke bombs and fireworks were thrown at them hundreds came out to protest more than a week after the deadly violence in charlottesville and the president's controversial remarks on the role of hate groups trump defended his response during the rally calling out the k.k.k. nazis racial tensions have intensified in recent days i don't see. overshadowed trumps this isn't drugs the country into a dead end war as reports the way president donald trump is portrayed you think is an evil leader the likes of which america has never seen shadow of moscow seems to haunt president trump the world's shining light of democracy has gone dark under the most radical right wing inaugural speeches take
6:09 am
a look at what some of the neo nazis are saying about his speech. even terms announcement of a new afghan strategy was skewed to supposedly show how the president was stirring up racial tension the president began his nationally televised address monday night urging americans to come together to rise above racial and ethnic divisions he wanted to speak to the nation about charlottesville and his comments he should have spoken to the nation about stroke zero and modeled it by putting it into a speech about afghanistan that's what i thought as an american can we just get back to afghanistan for a second please the president has made a fairly hawkish decision to boost america's military presence in the country sound familiar on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime in afghanistan i know that many of you have grown weary of this conflict. as you are well aware i do not support the idea of endless war given what's at stake in
6:10 am
afghanistan i am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort. i don't well what both previous presidents both democrat and republican chose to do so it seems hard but clearly not impossible to chalk it up as just another misstep by the big bad billionaire we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorists and criminal networks that so violence and chaos throughout afghanistan this is in tradition with all u.s. president trump is no continue in that long helped edition and if we look at u.s. foreign policy over the decades it is one long today pretty much on broken interaction or gender always regime change or military intervention is always the order of the day and diplomacy always takes a backseat over the years afghanistan has been a massive drain on both u.s. financial and human resources and yet trump is choosing to soldier on.
6:11 am
and all of those resources have led to little measurable success loss to the quagmire of the afghan conflict understand it's my responsibility we're not winning in afghanistan right now. this in tahrir is intended to put pressure on the taliban to have the taliban understand you will not win a battlefield victory we may not win one but neither will you things are going to get worse for the people of afghanistan especially the civilians we're going to see formal casualties their country in general is going to continue to spiral out of control some of the neo con generals the retired generals a couple years ago talked about a military u.s.
6:12 am
military presence in afghanistan for at least fifty years they might be exaggerating. i can easily see that happening because there's hardly any opposition so despite promises of making america great again it seems that washington is just going to continue to fight and that endless war that seems almost impossible of actually winning. washington d.c. i want to trump's new plan the u.s. is expected to send up to four thousand troops to afghanistan however the exact number is being kept secret america's top commander for the middle east. the first new forces could arrive in just a few weeks we spoke to a former u.s. congressman ron paul about the implications of the president's decision. he changes the words and makes it sound like the world will come apart if we don't continue to be the world's policeman he says he's not into nation building but that was a pretense anyway how many nations that we can really build or improve we've torn
6:13 am
nations apart so he is seen as a flip flopper which i think politically is a bad position to be. going to be perpetual war nobody knows exactly who the enemy is and nobody will know when it is ended but i think trump has been maybe a little bit more up front that his goal isn't to get done in six months or a year it looks like he's planning to be there for the long term. he wants to increase the troop levels in he will but we don't know exactly and we who are on the pro peace side think that he should do very very little without the consent of the congress and yet it sounds to me like even he wants to give away some of his authority and say well the generals are in charge the generals in charge let them make all the decisions. even of he flip flops and goes along with the neo cons which it looks like he has he's not going to win them over
6:14 am
the people who support mccain and graham and rubio they're not going to follow us and say oh yeah it looks like trump is one of us now we're going to support it so i think he loses i think he loses in a political way he loses support from some of his base and he's not going to gain any support from the people who are now saying oh he looks like he's waking up and he's accepting the neo con position approach or. the spanish town of new fall images as a potential hotbed of terrorists off the last week's deadly attacks in the country that story and more for you coming up after this short break.
6:15 am
they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so you want to be president. to be. before three of the people. interested always in the water.

international at least thirty five people have been killed off an asteroid hits a hotel near yemen's capital dozens of others suffer a pause that the rebels have blamed the attack on saudi arabia which has regularly carried out in the area in support of the government which is fighting the rebels for we cannot independently verify the information but the saudi led coalition has been repeatedly accused of killing civilians in yemen although ria denies the claims. i want to you has been to visit a yemeni boy aged twelve who's had almost double that number in operations after falling victim to armed clashes in his country just a warning you may find the following images in the report up setting.
6:17 am
hamid rarely gets the shots to leave hospital he's constantly battling against cholera the saudi led coalition is accused of being responsible for the outbreak of the disease in yemen which has been described as the worst in the world software cut off supplies of medicine and food to rebel controlled areas that was the conclusion of a study by the queen mary university in london. someone living in rebel controlled areas is seventy percent more likely to contract cholera and fifty percent more likely to die from cholera than somebody living in government controlled areas so the internationalized government in yemen are supported by a saudi that coalition this coalition has bombed the rebel controlled areas pretty much most of the. and without much concern for for civilian life. they've brought in civilian infrastructure so we've seen hospitals destroyed schools
6:18 am
destroyed the coalition is also enforced and naval blockade on the rebel controlled areas and this means that there are shortages of food shortages of fuel shortages of medicine all of which contribute to a situation where cholera can prosper. i mean this father says all these tragic episode in the boy's life explain why he's so vulnerable to the devastating epidemic that swept across the country. can be at even a slight cough affects him badly he's very weak his elbow has been damaged by frequent falls as you can see his neck is injured as well these tragedies come from war the boy spent a month in intensive care before regaining consciousness he's undergone surgery many times and will need more operations who could all his injuries he's lost all his hair. the number of cholera cases in yemen has now exceeded half a million the outbreak of the waterborne disease has been fueled by the destruction
6:19 am
of the country's infrastructure during the war as well as ongoing saudi led airstrikes by the world health organization has spelt out the problem it says if there were only one hundred people in yemen more than half of them would have no access to clean water and would be at risk of famine the red cross in the region stressed the catastrophe in yemen is manmade. we have a bit less than two thousand people who have died half of the people who are affected by the color our children and a quarter of the people who have died from six suspected killer cases are children everything of the country has collapsed that includes the water system it includes the health system it also includes the fact that there is no garbage collection in the country that is a water borne disease when you don't have garbage collection when you don't have proper treatment of for the water it's a whole number of factors that make that that caused this cholera outbreak to be as serious as it is and as it was the situation in yemen into that is extremely bad
6:20 am
it's a manmade situation it's due to the fact that there is a war going on in the country and that our people who are civilians who are paying the highest price of this war. are the spanish town of repose has found itself at the very center of the investigation into last week's terror attacks many members of the cell which carried out those atrocities killing fifteen and brought up together and been radicalized in this small town just south of the border with france. police investigators have identified the last rambus terrorists as. this suspect the driver of the van comes from the.
