4:02 am
this probably won't shock you the destruction in mosul a city in ruins it's already been shown you've probably also heard about the thousands killed the civilian suffering what you will likely haven't heard of is the smell it's noisy aging repulsive and it's everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink need sick the smell of rotting bodies. the sickly odor permeates near the entirety of the old city under the rubble hundreds and hundreds of corpses jihad ists as well as civilians families this is what rescuers have collected just this morning three suspected isis fighters two women and two children this is again just the first few hours
4:03 am
of this morning from buildings right around us and they're still not done alone most of them are women and children they called this a victory you would never think the smell of victory would make you rich. twenty. five. i think. the market even the collection think that what it was. it describable this is what they do day long day route i did see a bullet now that. it's hard. work in more ways than one there are booby traps and exploded jet bombs rockets shells and munitions and the bodies decomposing in the sweltering heat.
4:04 am
there was no precision here these was carpet bombing annihilation hundreds buried under rubble hundreds blocks in basements starving or choking to death it will take months to dig up all the bodies months more of trauma. what i see here makes me cry you can bring anyone here and they will break down in tears because we are all human beings. was and judy there are some things you couldn't sail camera like the fact that he and many rescuers have trouble sleeping after all the sea and no wonder it is after all a city of corpses more i guess dia of from mosul iraq the battle said to be the largest urban conflict since world war two displaced eight

4:06 am
took centuries and centuries to build it in what one of the sort of so-called not so smart bombs we destroy in few seconds i don't think it would be the ability ever as it was a means of people's memory people's culture people's livelihood. it was. in. i don't think actually the american led coalition and the iraqi government have any excuse. if we see god forbid the devastation that had before. would repeat itself and that would be really crime that would be criminal. the

u.s. media is trying to find out who's inspiring the divided signs in american society these days so now a new article in the washington post suggests that the far right is guided by russian influence as jack levin good report. russia is used to being blamed for all things sinister in this world if it's not hacking someone that it's being labeled authoritarian or just flat out criminals but few have stooped to suggest russia backs nazis until now the washington post claiming the nation that lost more than twenty seven million people fighting fascist germany with every family losing loved ones is a source of inspiration for america's neo nazis now you'd hope such offensive claims would be backed up by undeniable facts but sadly you'd be wrong the article kicks off with a couple of flashy quotes one from a former k.k.k. imperial wizard who calls moscow a key to white survival and then a white supremacist richard spencer for whom the kremlin stands as the most
4:08 am
powerful white power in the world which yes sounds bad but these men will use anything to promote their agenda so how is that russia's fault when white nationalists claim inspiration in america's founding fathers as they do does that suddenly make george washington a nazi sympathizer and what about souter after all he's white and powerful too and were sponsored they found a way to drag our tea into it as well spends his one does geo political analysts. outposts so just see and sputnik and while spencer yes did appear on our t.v. the post gives the fact that after his hail trump salute he became persona non grata here and was never invited again unlike the us media. and that's not all wait until you hear what other nazi crimes russia has committed in twenty fifteen some petersburg goes to one of the most gatherings of ideologues europe has seen now it seems
4:09 am
a shame to ruin the papers theories but the event was not state sponsored it was organized by one party not even the russian parliament with white nationalist gathering in charlottesville just a few weeks ago does that suddenly make the state of virginia a safe haven for nazis no war but sure one right wing form in the country obviously mean russian evil knows no bounds and after all no one else has hosted such an event. well we love our race how motivation comes from the hearts. say an american black walked into this room that person really more to all of us than any of us is to each other well we're in the dark now so let's keep doing what else we got washington post kremlin mouthpieces of infuse yes tickly promoted the views of american neo nazis and white nationalists what is that even based on what listen to the actual words spoken by the russian president on the issue book those who say
4:10 am
russia is for white russians only are either bad people or just outright morons or provocateurs plain and simple because russia is a multinational state sounds like a nazi leader to you and i save the best for last the article even ties in the recent tragic events in charlottesville none of this is to say that the coma insurance bill is directly attributable to mosco we have. evidence the mystic terrorist is supposed to prove true kremlin views so why stop there if actual proof is unnecessary you also don't have evidence that he likes to watch disney cartoons but he probably does and most of the heroes are white but really who needs proof when it comes to blindly attacking russia these days. r.t. washington d.c. other media outlets go even further suggesting that russian intelligence is using hate groups to escalate the situation inside the us however despite all the conclusions the article but admits there is no evidence that bush is supporting an
4:11 am
american extreme right groups media around his line is that. russia is the hotbed of or the preferred country of neo nazis it's absurd first neo nazis are looking to russia neo nazis did they ever hear about this thing called world war two they understand how historically that doesn't seem to make any sense if you ever meet a neo nazi all you have to do is ask said nazi. saying not. to me and they can't answer it and the reason why many of them can't answer is that the nazis that we saw in charlottesville were basically actors that were handed a swag bag here you get us lies there you get an iron cross and you were given twenty bucks a bus fare in a box lunch and today you're a nazi americans number one do not understand who these people are.
4:12 am
rights groups are accusing the u.k. of using aid to libya as a means of preventing refugees from leaving the war torn country britain's been spending a large amount of effort and money on aid recently foreign secretary boris johnson pledged millions of pounds to stem the flow of illegal migrants from libya over to europe it's been such a long standing problem he's also voiced support for tougher border controls to speaking in tripoli said the crisis poses a direct security threat to the u.k. no less libya is the front line for many challenges which left unchecked composed problems for us in the u.k. but equally illegal migration under threat from terrorism it also means practical efforts to including the work we're doing to ensure that the libyan coast guard can secure their own borders reducing the number of illegal migrants hitting for europe . a campaign manager believes attempts to keep refugees in a war zone are actually a violation of the basic human rights simply throwing money at at issue will not be
4:13 am
enough what is required is a long sustained investment and the opportunity for people to be safe and protected both now and in the future what we've been really disappointed with is the fact that this just flies in the face of international conventions it is in the refugee convention which all the european countries have signed up to that people are allowed to seek asylum on their shores and they have really abandoned that that's an incredibly dangerous signal out to the rest of the world is the responsibility of these countries and wealthy countries all over the world to step up and actually take in more refugees right now some of the poorest countries in the world a host of the most and yet somehow europe the richest country in the world the twenty eight countries step up and even given something similar to that on his recent visit to tripoli and pledged the u.k. has continued support for the libyan coast guard service to the speed trained by the british royal navy and the coast guard's also been receiving support from
4:14 am
several other e.u. countries as well but it's being repeatedly accused of killing and abusing migrants as well as attacking aid workers or military campaign manager again says the e.u. support is part of an attempt to close european borders. the u.k. and the european union have for the last couple of years made a concerted effort to shut down borders and we see that happening at an extreme cost to the individuals who are fleeing war and persecution and poverty is part of that for them it's simply a matter of shutting it down on paper they say that they're trying to explore other options and open up safe safe routes to people but we've really just not seen that happen or we've seen as the shutting down of rates which is left people with really few other options then to take risk a very another element to this the influx of migrants to europe is being blamed for the increased threat of terrorism on the continent so no you politicians have come up with a plan to try to deal with but the president of the european parliament says he wants to establish a domestic intelligence service similar to america's f.b.i.
4:15 am
within the block to fight against terror he emphasized that member states must cooperate much more to we spoke twenty marshawn who work for british intelligence she believes though the rhetoric is just another vanity project that isn't going to work. it's distrust between intelligence agencies they want to keep their sources close to their chest there are different approaches to how intelligence agencies work different powers within each country about what precisely those intelligence agencies can actually do legally within their own country so trying to find common standards i think is going to be incredibly difficult across the e.u. i mean we're looking at countries going from island right across to poland to hungary a fast spread of territory it's a vast spread of history and it's a vast spread of different legal systems i can't see how this can work it sounds like another event if you project the international criminal gangs are very effective working across borders and we are not keeping up and it's absolutely useless for london or paris or anybody else to say we can deal with this on our own
4:16 am
we can't we've actually got to have a european force this is the next logical step and it should have been taken some years ago and the question would be who's going to be the boss who's going to be running the f.b.i. for europe will it be a german or will it be a brit or will it be a frenchman or an italian will be huge are going to buy that what uniform will labor or what language will they operate in because an awful of a simple work to do to hammer out the differences we've got a lot of catching up and swallow our nationalistic pride and be good federal europeans this is art international money stories ahead this morning with me kevin o. in a police union in new york's alleging that officers of the target these days of so-called blue racism will tell you more. warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle. for new socks credit tell you that

lobby gossip and public by file for reporters. tell you you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all of what. most people think just 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 read. truth to stand the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answer. the. question.

again the british companies sunda five full refusing to stop producing a toxic chemical that's linked to death and brain damage the risk will well known even as far back as the one nine hundred twenty s. but that didn't stop all corporations from adding this particular substance to fuel . at the beginning of the one nine hundred twenty s. the leading american all and automobile industry added lead to gasoline to obtain a more efficient fuel at that time that was already. harmful to the system especially children but hundreds of thousands of tons of lead were spread around the world causing injury such as impair the i.q. . in a sport these days is the only firm in the world is still legally making this fuel additive to the lead it's been branded one of mankind's worst inventions over the
4:19 am
years the chemical was used to improve engine performance in cars and planes but exposure has been long linked to numerous health problems scientists say that children are at greater risk because they absorb lead into the bones and bloods more rapidly than grown ups resulting in learning difficulties stunted growth and lowered i.q. recent studies have also found a link between lead exposure in children violent behavior maybe later in life again that's been on the headlines a while the use of this chemical has been burned in most countries british businesses should be how did it seem safety standards for all their products were average they're sold along the export of this dangerous substance this pint having rules that home to protect our own children is unacceptable the main concern about . that. environment in an uncontrolled way and the people who are most at risk. there is irrefutable evidence
4:20 am
that exposure in children affects brain development and affect the. ability of children that for its part in a spokes repeatedly promised to stop production it says only one country l.g. area is still using the product again toxicologist brian what warns of the disastrous effect this chemical could have. do you think there is obviously an element of double standards here very similar sales of all three. you know something so i'm not sold out to be used in the u.k. sold to all the countries the company has a commercial interest in making this i think you know well it's the company well you know this is just selling something that somebody wants to buy and it's not a problem i think you also have to. manufacture it's about what the consequences are of what you sell but ultimately i think it is the

government to make a decision about the apologies that was there of course the cases of police brutality become a new norm in the united states last month a video was released of officers shooting forty five times. during that time to march twenty fourth seed a year later a grand jury refused to indict the seven officers involved cases when police officers have been accused of using excessive force i've been. you know you got to stay right here you. amid the public discontent the police and. then being discriminated against the new
4:22 am
york police association has released its own video claiming that officers are under attack. the average person doesn't see those things. when they look at me they see blue because i am blue increasingly i'm vilified that clip sparked an outburst of social networks some said the office is chosen their profession simply should get on with it deal with it that the police were trying to justify the violence against civilians in the us but former new york police department executive corey pega says transparency is key to modern day policing that overwhelming majority of police officers ago are now every single day and doing a great job but what happens in police does give you example when a doctor kills somebody nobody hates all the doctors but when one police officer kill our nominee if it's black white or whatever it is. that reverberates throughout the country where people have
4:23 am
a dislike for the police so the onus is on the police officers to be very very careful when they've gone out to do their job every single day and i don't believe the cops come to work and say they want to kill anybody but situations are happening all too often now and maybe it was happening in the past but now we have video cameras and cell phones that expose a lot of stuff that's happened in policing and so police need to tread lightly be more transparent and also i need them to be safe and get home to their families like everybody else. technology news china and russia are open to clip the wings of aircraft giants airbus and boeing but to make it to build a brand new wide body jet the long range aircraft they say will be capable of flying from beijing to new york for instance and will be able to carry up to two hundred eighty passengers they wanted to get into service by twenty twenty seven as china's economy expands and people can afford to travel more money factors are predicting a rise in demand for larger planes there something that russia is also keen to

capitalize on the companies are expanding on earlier successes than with shorter range of craft and it all comes just a few months after the first ever chinese built passenger airliner took to the skies emily sue took one for a spin. every plane in the skies has a shadow version on the ground literally behind me is the scene nine one one i remembered a place where technicians and engineers can test out different systems and conduct stabilisation experiments which explains this noise we're hearing in the background and it also contains a flight simulator which i'm quite excited to check out myself some of it. so we can actually see the runway here right in front of you have actually looks like the will play while actually quite scary. whoa whoa whoa so what do i do first in the list is the control stick of the plane you can make the plane go up. ok we're going to get started. ok it's
4:25 am
moving it to moving we're moving it getting faster. you can see the speed of the plane when it reaches one hundred twenty her own. bank. so when it reaches one twenty we're going to take off ok one twenty to go pick up oh we're fighting. that we're going oh oh oh. that's actually seem like i'm looking at. the bird's eye view this is what the city looks like so i can turn left and right and it feels right to. whoever's on my plane will be very very angry with me. just basically the pages for the graph is not about speed. that it. looks like we're slowly ascending slowly ascending. because. the crash. simulator it was so cool it's ok
4:26 am
to be able to pilot it thank you so much for showing me. the new pilots did rather well the. stories twenty four seven if not your t.v. that is the round. so far of the news this morning i'm kevin when your. programs continue to head off. oh. look at that.

the two thousand and eight economic crisis turned some countries into pigs these were the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situational flow bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results she saw almost at the new york city's will by the people gathered in which to watch people to see what i. believe will be she was i mean to. sound which must she. think if they see something and not get it. while the same measure is still in place to one of the consequences is to we.
4:28 am
will first. of this is the truth the consumer is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision. i'm lindsey francis is the boss broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. tonight the highest court in the land ruled that every citizen of india has a right to privacy and it's putting pressure on the government to scrap the universal id secured with biometric data also women and wages the gap between the genders is still here but the numbers are shifting and it's time to take a look also jobless claims are up but unemployment is at a historic low so why are americans across the board settling for smaller and
4:29 am
smaller salaries than before my guests explains standby starts right now. privacy is a citizens' fundamental rights as a supreme court of india the ruling could put a snag in the country's mammoth identity card system though two earlier rulings by smaller courts maintain that no right to privacy exists in india's constitution but the government will now have to convince this court that forcing citizens to give their fingerprints and a scan of their iris is not a violation of their privacy of course this would go a long way to pushing along its vast id program aimed at streamlining internet connections and even taxes.
