bluebirds. this is the truth be considered is the. court acceptable to the decision makers. all these headlines of urgency services in the iraqi city of mosul continue the cleanup operation pulling hundreds of bodies from the rubble of the devastated city . the destruction of the city in ruins it's already the show you've probably also heard about the thousands killed the city is suffering what you likely haven't heard of is the smell. of civilians including children all reportedly killed in a saudi led coalition air strike in yemen. american newspaper claims the country's right wing and even neo nazis say getting inspiration from russia.

to see if you will things at this hour at three pm here in the russian capital months. of bombs the iraqi city of mosul has been almost level the u.s. led operation to liberate the city from being declared a success but the human cost is inconceivable it was once home to around two million people when i was in mosul to witness they off them off but a word of warning that you might find the content of his report upsetting to watch they kept this up for a needy ten months. u.s. led coalition and the iraqis. but you can still smell. the ashes

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 eating repulsive and it's everywhere the sort of smell that makes us in stink these sick the smell of rotting bodies. the sickly odor permeates near the entirety of the old city under the rubble are 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 of

this morning from buildings right around us and they're still not done all of them most of them are women and children they called this a victory you would never think the smell of victory would make you rich. forty. five. the market even a collection plate that would. think it describable this is what they do day long day's route to 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.

there was no precision here these was cop at 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 ybor him was in june there are some things he couldn't sail camera like the fact that he and many rescuers have trouble sleeping after all the scene and no wonder he sees to rule a city of corpses more i guess dia of from mosul iraq. battle said to be the largest urban conflict since the second world war displaced eight hundred thousand people they now have no home to return to meanwhile

humanitarian organizations are warning of another looming catastrophe this time in the nearby city of tel afar the u.s. backed operation that's being compared with the mosul campaign both cities were key isos strongholds besieged by u.s. backed forces just like mosul thousands of civilians are trapped in telephonic under a barrage of bombs or those trying to flee a being caught in the crossfire the ones who remain have no access to food or other basic supplies.

it took centuries and centuries to build it in what one of the sort of so-called not so smart bombs would destroy in few seconds i don't think it would be built ever as it was evidence of people's memory people's culture or people's livelihood . i don't think. america. and the government have any excuse. if we see god forbid the devastation that had before lin. wood. pete itself and that would be really crime that would be criminal. elsewhere a saudi led coalition air strike on the yemeni capital sanaa has reportedly had

civilians medics there say at least fourteen people including children were killed in the bombing again we should warn you the pictures were about to show you are disturbing. i talked to a middle east correspondent paula slater a short while ago she brought us the latest on the deadly bombing in yemen's capital. this follows a suspected saudi airstrike overnight thursday into the early hours of friday morning to say that they continuing to pull bodies to residential buildings this happened in the southern neighborhoods of the yemenite capital of sana'a in what is distinctly ways eventually area there are no military installations they have

whatsoever most of the people that say they are pulling are women and children. they targeted this house in the middle of the night so why would they do that there were no soldiers or officials there only civilians. there were families in this house women children bomb women and children now this comes after the united nations launched a probe into another suspected saudi led coalition bombing earlier in the week that happened on a hotel in the capital and in that incident some forty one people were killed many of them also women and children it comes against the backdrop of a diet humanitarian situation that has really just been getting worse since the sol the coalition began its strikes back in two thousand and fifteen there are thousands of people who have been killed there are millions of people who are starving without access to basic necessities and one of this has led to an outbreak of cholera we are hearing from the world health organization that they have some

hoth a million suspected cases of people suffering from cholera that they are aware of we're also hearing from the red cross which says that some fifty seven percent of people don't have access to clean water and roughly the same number of people are suffering from famine so certainly a diet humanitarian situation in yemen as we witness yet again fresh air strikes the saudi led coalition's been facing wide criticism over its bombing campaign but despite that the gulf monarchies still enjoys the support of many western countries i talked last hour to yemeni journalist hussain katie who believes that until the west stops all make the coalition they'll be no end to the yemen crunches. de villiers has been killed by the saudi dialect when they have bombed dozens of markets funeral home within the hole and i think the main target is to buy. today is one of the goal of the world for the united states and britain and that's why we see. the u.k.

government keep selling what it did this already included ban cluster bomb which mainly used only civilians area as long as other saudi is getting a full support from the united states as long. jet fuel in the saudi fighter jet over yemen to continue their war as long as they keep sending weapons they will not do anything then they will keep targeting civilians nothing will be done unless they will stop selling wild bill to the saudi. ok new this hour belgian police have launched investigations into one hundred eighty nine terror related incidents since the beginning of this year that's according to the country's federal prosecutor that means an average of around twenty three cases were opened every month more on this now live to our europe correspondent peter oliver. to these figures indicate an increase in home grown terrorism is that the thinking. well what they certainly indicate is a different direction in which the authorities that go in as they try to tackle

potential terror threats if we look at this that the focus is definitely switched now looking at those who haven't left the country previously investigations had looked at those that were going to become what were known as foreign fighters those that were desperately trying to get the syria to go and try and side with isis or other terror organizations there but the reason this is flagged up is that if we go back to twenty fifteen when there was three hundred and thirteen cases opened in belgium the majority of those they were targeting those people those that were trying to get to turkey get across the border into syria and try and fight for one side or the other this has now changed it does seem that the most recent terror attacks across europe that we've seen has played a hand in this if we look at the manchester bombing if we look at the barcelona cell that recently launched a number of attacks in the investigation still ongoing there this was done in

country it was done in the case of barcelona with. the he's understood to have been the the lynchpin the the recruiter the radicalized that was done within a small town to the north of barcelona and that's what we're seeing right now so the belgium authorities as saying that. they want to see a list there that shows which foreign in moms have actually come to the country to give speeches if we go back to that barcelona case s.r.t. had been in belgium a number of times and it was before the terror attacks that took place the bombings that the the airport in the metro station there and that's why we're seeing belgian authorities say they want a list of just which foreign in moms are coming into the country and what they're saying. i will ask the executive. every mosque in belgium with a recognized moats to report every image that preaches the what we all seeing from

these figures though is that there are a large number of cases that have been opened by the belgian place but also that their tactics have changed that. the tactics of jihadi groups that would want to carry out attacks within europe changes well so too does the tactics they used to try and counter that the tactics of the authorities that they're now looking more at which groups could be radicalized within country as opposed to worrying about the threat of those that go abroad and then perhaps come back with a radicalized idea. troubling numbers if you're in belgium right for now thanks very much for that noble you without saying america stands divided guess who the mainstream media blaming for it i'll tell you after the break.

the feeling. every the. period. that you get it on the old world. according to josh. come on the. most people think this is this you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read in truth to stand this is just the dance the right questions to the right answer.

lower again the us media is busy trying to find out who's inspiring the divided sides in american society these days so that would be article in the washington post suggests that the far right is being guided by russian influence as the story 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 the 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 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 i'm not a 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. geo political. outposts so just see and sputnik and while spencer yes did appear on r t 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 at all wait until you hear what other nazi crimes russia has

committed in twenty fifteen some petersburg hosted one of the most outspoken gatherings of idealogues europe has seen in years now it seems a shame to ruin the paper's 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 one but sure one right wing form in the country obviously mean russian evil knows no bounds and after all no one else's house at such an event. we love. our motivation comes from the heart. so you know american black walked into this room that person or even more to all of us than any of us is to each other well we're in the dark now so let's keep digging what else you 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 but not only that if nationalism is understood as intolerance can show even ism to other people it is going to destroy our country which we developed as a multinational multi confessional country it not only leads to a dead end but down a path of self-destruction russia will do everything not to allow that 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 moscow we have not yet learned of evidence the mystic terrorist is spelled prove prove 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. well 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 admits that there is no evidence the bush were supporting american extreme right groups let's go live free action now political analysts go but dr welcome to the program let's just go but first we can do this washington post article suggesting that neo nazis are looking at russia for inspiration how solid is that argument even. well the article in the washington post like articles other than this subject every day in the post as in the other main mainstream the newspaper of record in the us the new york times they daily are publishing material that is derogatory of russia that is slandering russia that is presenting russia in the worst possible light so when i was asked to comment on

this article in the washington post today i was wondering what's new and what am i going to say but i have to admit that reading the article for early and carefully i don't something that your commentator overlooked and that is that basically the journalist responsible for this article was giving his editors the finger because the implication of the of the headline is that russia is justly seen as a center of white supremacy by american neo nazis the in the middle of the article is a paragraph which undermines totally such a fabricated view of russia and of mr putin he the author went out of her way to stress that russia that moscow has the biggest mosque in europe that russia is the second most important country for old migrants have to united states in the world and so forth but in the russia of course is a multinational country with many different. ethnic and religious groups who have

been in in peace this was unnecessary to say but it tells you what goes on in journalism even in mainstream journalism which is closely controlled by rabidly anti russian editorial boards like the washington post and the new york times journalists are not necessarily in sync with the editorial opinions that they dictate what they're supposed to write and if they're clever they do the kind of subversive material that they are headed with a journalist of this article has done. a particular. pleased that you are that your journalist of the commentary in the couple of minutes ago called out the nonsense of the complete force for taishan of the charges against russia for the st petersburg gathering of ultra right people indeed that was not state sponsored indeed. it brings out something else about russia that i think. i could take a pic further than your journalist namely that russia still believes in freedom of

assembly even if the united states does not. you mention possibly a turf war between the people in charge of these networks and papers and the rank and file reports of the bottom and what about when c.n.n. when even further saying that inciting far right groups inside the us is actually a strategy of the russian secret service if they put it again it's just an allegation but why would a respected news outlets like this even need to push stuff like this is it just about shifting copies and getting views. well for every journalist who is on a star has a little bit of integrity you have many journalists who are tripping over one another to say the most outrageous things that they think their bosses will like and so you have a competition down to the bottom and the case that you mentioned is one of those. ok i really appreciate your thoughts on this political on this go but dr thanks for your time the stuff the name thank so much for. next the european federation of journalists has condemned the authorities in the countries refused to grant visas

to three russian correspondents it was supposed to cover a summit in tallinn daniel hawkins has the story. september will see a meeting of the heads of the foreign ministries of the twenty eight the e.u. member states in tallinn that's the capital of a stoner now three journalists from the russian news agency. applied for accreditation and they were rejected without any explanation that is the allegation being made the body that rejected them was the estonian presidency of the council of the european union now this has already resulted in condemnation from a car to go to yes he's the general secretary of the european federation of journalists he came down quite strongly on what he described as an attack on freedom of the press take a listen this is clearly a serious violation of media freedom european and international federations of journalists decided to publish an alert concerning this case on the european council website that's dedicated to journalists protection in fact this means that

the secretary general of the european council will demand clarification from the government now the head of that a serious of or news agency margarita simonyan has thank you dear as for standing up for the journalist this is actually the first time that members of that news agency have faced such problems within the e.u. covering news there but it's not the first time that journalists that members of the press from russia have come across detail on the twelfth of april twenty seventh teen a camera man from the russian child ren t.v. a news channel was barred from entering a stonier just a year earlier than i did twenty sixteen a case in lithuania where a whole film group from the channel was also. expelled from the country before they could finish their task and the year before that in the end of twenty fifteen october twenty fifteen a stone in authority is the tamed another whole film and group again the channel of

. their visas so of course the general secretary of the european federation of journalists. cool for an explanation for why the accreditation was not allowed why these journalists were barred from entering it remains to be seen of course what official explanation they will come up with. this hour follow us on facebook and twitter for breaking news as it happens i'll be back to update you in just over half an hour so you. just manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect them so.

we can all middle of the room sick. but also. the relationship between. it was suggested. and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. and ten the study it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientists. do chemicals that the advertising. really increase the risk of cancer and i chose a means of known to use them in the launch. of skepticism. this is true by independent scientists. industry.

my time as was the others why is that i mean. if you want to. fly. business. have you ever wondered what goes through the astronauts mind when he's heading into space and what happens when he's out there. our guest today became

a sensation. out of this world activities social media with planet earth. thirty five an author of a best selling books about his time in space chris hadfield my guest today. chris that felt base faring better and commander of the international space station's expedition thirty five welcome to the show great to have you with us

there chris you were the first officer to actively use social networking streaming your space experience for millions of those back at home now it was a tremendous success was it your idea or was that some kind of mission you'd been given by the command. well i think for all astronaut sophie the experience is so fantastic it's so richard so different that you try and share it any way you can on my first space flight all i had was a ham radio amateur radio and a film camera so it's really hard to share but i might third space flight as you say when i was commanding the international space station we had internet or at least primitive but but internet on the space station and digital cameras and high speed video and so i could share the experience like never before and the reaction as you say was huge i think it's too good an experience too to just keep to yourself.
