going down you are not kind of that kind of money. staying in iraq and months under a barrage of bombs the city of mosul has been almost leveled the u.s. led operation to liberate the city from isis been declared a success but the human cost is inconceivable it was once home to around two million people when i guess i was in mosul to witness the aftermath but a word of warning that you might find some of the content in his report upsetting. he kept this up for a needy ten months for the. u.s. led coalition and the rockies won 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

9:07 am
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 he couldn't sail camera like the fact that he and many rescuers have trouble sleeping after all the sea and no wonder it is off to rule a city of corpses more i guess dia of from mosul iraq. well that 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 tal afar the u.s. backed operation there is being compared with the most low peroration both cities
9:08 am
were chaos or strongholds besieged by u.s. backed forces just like mosul thousands of civilians are trapped in telephone under a barrage of bombs or those trying to flee or being caught in the crossfire of the ones who remain have no access to food or of a 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
9:09 am
it was evidence of people's memory people's culture or people's livelihood. i don't think actually the medical. and the government had any excuse. if we see god forbid the devastation that had before lin. wood. that would be really crime that would be criminal. further south in the middle east saudi led coalition air strike on the yemeni capital sanaa has reportedly hit civilians medics there say at least fourteen people including children were killed in the bombing on friday morning again we should warn you that
9:10 am
the pictures you're about to see. all the earlier our middle east correspondent brought us the latest on the deadly bombing in yemen this follows a suspected saudi led airstrikes overnight thursday into the early hours of friday morning now rescuers 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 and. they targeted this house in the middle of the night so why
9:11 am
would they do that there were no soldiers or officials there only civilians. turn asserted not only with families in this town 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 something 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 saudi made 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 x. . 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 half a million suspected cases of people suffering from cholera and they are aware of we're also hearing from the red cross which says that some fifty seven percent of
9:12 am
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 but it hasn't been confirmed whether it was actually behind the latest droit the saudi coalition's campaign has been largely criticized since its intervention in twenty fifteen but despite that the government can still enjoys the support of many western countries a reaction earlier from a journalist in yemen who. believe that the total west stops arming the coalition there's no end to the conflict inside the villages has been killed by the saudi. when they have bombed dozens of markets. that are whole within the whole and i think their main target is to buy. today there is one of the goal of the world for the united states but it in and that's why we see. the u.k. government keep silent why did this all the including why i've been mainly used
9:13 am
bonus of indians area along the is getting a full support from the united states as long. jet fuel in the saudi fighter jet over to yemen to continue their war as long as they keep selling while. you will not do anything then they will keep out of this event and nothing will be done unless they will stop sit and watch the. belgian police have launched investigations into one hundred eighty nine terror related incidents since the beginning of twenty seventeen that's according to the country's federal prosecutor that means an average of twenty three cases were opened every month with more details here's our europe correspondent peter oliver. bits where those cases have been opened and why those cases been opened that is of particular interest the focus has switched away from trying to look at those that perhaps could trying come from europe to go to turkey to cross the border to become what
9:14 am
was known as foreign fighters in syria that switched now to looking at groups within a country that can be radicalized there the reason that this is flagged up is if we look back to twenty fifteen there was around three hundred thirty cases opened by the belgian federal prosecutors almost all of those were looking at people that were trying to get to syria to get to iraq to join the ranks of isis and other terror organizations. that shifted away now following the most recent terror attacks that we've seen if we look at manchester if we look at what happened recently in all so loner these were all done in-house as it were they were done in country and that's why the belgian police have switched their focus particularly if we look at it at barcelona a terrorist cell that was uncovered in to the north of the catalan capital there abdel baccy and southey was named as the the ringleader the ringmaster the
9:15 am
radicalized now within a community that was well pretty well integrated and that's why what the authorities are wanting to see is a register of just who comes and gives speeches now the reason for this is of course that a saturday himself had actually been in belgium before the attacks took place the bombings at the airport and at the and the metro system in brussels what the belgian prosecutors are putting forward is that they want to see a register of just which foreign in a coming into their country and giving speeches i will ask the executive to tell every mosque in belgium who the rich. not to report every image but. ultimately though this is well it's the belgian authorities looking at the threat that exists and how that threat is changed and looking at how they can adapt and develop their
9:16 am
tactics to stop further possible terror attacks on a similar vein in switzerland there's outrage over reports about a libyan man he's accused of preaching hate towards the society which is taken him in and also one that's been providing him benefits including unemployment payments according to an audiobook cording obtained by a swiss t.v. channel the preacher has called for all the enemies of islam to be destroyed including jews christians hindus russians and shia muslims and he also believes those who befriends nonbelievers are cursed for more let's cross live to be old has low who's the editor of prime time current affairs t.v. series one show which airs on switzerland's s r f one welcome to the program tell us first then what were the main findings of your investigation. he already said it before and ought to be mom who calls himself a put on more than originally from libya is preaching hate in a mosque in the city of butte he was quoting already the main quote we had to alter
9:17 am
recording he is seeing several bad things for example the following a quote or two to destroy the enemies of our religion does throw to choose the christians and the hindus and the russians and the shia they are asked to destroy them all and get these back to his glory and of the quote we also found out that he is telling several times to syria to preach in a private islam is t.v. station and he's telling also to saudi arabia we are he is a tour guide for believers in mecca. how did you get hold of the audio with this tape preacher. to all your fellows we've got at the end of a very very long investigation my colleagues had to talk with several sources to get the confidence and at the end these older fellows but just the proof of their long investigation the proof about what on the dance hate speech in this mosque. how can it authenticity be verified. we checked the documents on several
9:18 am
levels by more than two experts the cheated on the level of the language of course we checked it on the linguistic level and we checked it also on the level of the count didn't before publishing we had to be very very sure it's authentic it's the words so far what i want on and it's recorded in the mosque can be. what is actually known about this how did he even get to switzerland. you know that he was in his early years a football player in libya even libyan championship then he was always a strong believer in france by the muslim brotherhood which in one thousand nine hundred seven he came via malta and italy to switzerland where he got the political asylum he said to the federal authorities that gadhafi regime is making pressure against him because of his religious views now he has a permission of residence here in switzerland. how much money has switzerland actually paid to this same army and welfare benefits why would he even receiving
9:19 am
the money. who got six hundred thousand swiss francs social welfare here in switzerland is known this is the number we can confirm. he never learned german or french so it was not possible to integrate him in the job market so it was not possible that he has got to work so he got this social welfare of course the views are not excluding him it is from the social welfare but he got the money exactly from the society he is preaching against did your investigation go. big attention in switzerland of the authorities responded. at the moment is interested cation and are put on not only still one of the main subject of the public discussion and the mayor of feel of the city who was very very clear in our program he said this kind of hate speech is not acceptable in open source a because it's pretty hate between the different communities and it creates also problems
9:20 am
with the huge majority of muslim community he is part of this we society of course already before the investigation to all federal authorities who are excluding. from the assume startles next steps are in discussion how big a problem is it for preachers in europe and how can it be solved. i can speak about switch learned where it's not a huge problem but it is a problem of course that diversity to freedom of speech and the democratic rules are the strongest of an open society of course and hate speech ing is bringing it in danger of course that's why switzerland is successful because of its open society but the case shows how important a new legislation we have about intelligence is the tory these are not all able to monitor extremists even in mosques or societies to cross out these antiquity of
9:21 am
elements in order to protect the open source eighty in order to protect of to protect the freedom of speech and also to diversity and is there an open investigation now and if so what do you expect from it. or it is of to involve palate these are considering legal measures against popular i'm not on. the city of field the mayor of the city of peel was saying in our program. operate almost on should be forced out of switzerland. ok if your house or editor of sorts of the rancho current affairs here is an f a r f one thanks very much for joining us on the program. next islamic states claiming responsibility for the attack on a shia mosque in the afghan capital kabul gunman stormed the building during friday prayers that's when the suicide bomber detonated a device at the gate of the mosque there are reports that up to sixteen civilians
9:22 am
are either wounded or have been killed officials have confirmed at least two people have lost their lives in that attack we can talk again to afghanistan based journalist but also was the. police say the attack on that mosque has come to an end now can you tell us what the latest is there. the crisis response unit the special forces unit starts to fight these attacks is still a clearing that building we have heard some ambulances of taken those wounded out of the mosque at this stage a multiple credible sources are telling me didn't use fifteen worshippers are confirmed killed at least fourteen or shippers or wounded two members of the police force also among those killed one is a special forces from c.r.u. the unit that was fighting this attack another was a police car and was killed in the initial stages of the attack and we're still
9:23 am
waiting for more clarification this is a very well coordinated attack the attackers knew that there was a special. religious gathering of the shia as are a community on a friday this is also a week before the holy month of muharram which has traditionally been targeted not only here in afghanistan in neighboring pakistan also in iraq and elsewhere so one question that continues to haunt everyone here why so many security and intelligence failures why so many police and security officials continue to. clearly in terms of protecting the people of afghanistan in cities here in kabul in outside obviously the islamic state in the past have targeted this year and as our communities board here in kabul the western city of herat in elsewhere saw for the people of afghanistan for the government of afghanistan for nato and western
9:24 am
countries there will be finding this is a huge headache to fight the taliban and then the islamic state which is proving quite effective and brutal specifically going for sick tyrian attacks a problem that afghanistan does not have among many of its other issues and everyone is very concerned about these attacks pacifically targeting afghanistan's shia communities wolf wait to see whether those international militaries will up their numbers as has been requested by a number of people not least of all in washington for now the afghanistan based journalist but also worry thanks for your time. of the u.s. media is busy trying to find out who's inspiring the divided sides in american society these days now a new article in the washington post suggests that the far right is being guided by russian influence jacqueline who has the story. russia is used to being blamed for
9:25 am
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 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 nutty sympathizer and what about souter after all he's white and powerful too and
9:26 am
we're sponsored they found a way to drag our tea into it as well spends his one does geo political analysts on kremlin funded 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 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 idealogues europe has seen now it seems 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
9:27 am
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 or you more and when 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 have enthusiastically 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 so many of them if nationalism is understood as intolerance can show even ism to other people it is going to destroy our country and that which we developed as a multinational with multi confessional country it not only leads to a dead end which but down a path of self-destruction russia will do everything not to allow that sound like
9:28 am
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 in show let's feel is directly attributable to mosco we have not yet lou and of evidence the mystic terrorist is spelt 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. that's the way i look for now i'll be back to update you again at about half an hour of c.n.n. . thank .
9:29 am
god. ah. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into pegs these are the countries with we korea colonies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of 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.
