i. i. like the five th q life among the room. for. surviving in this city five months after being liberated from islamic state. doesn't want to go to school because she's afraid only came back you know my son with every morning out of fear they're psychologically scarred for life. coming up to the u.n. gets its financial cliff says the u.s. crew is a significant cuts in contributions it follows threats to full funding after members comprehensively rejected decision on states. that detects if your home. is being developed by the surveillance with the snowden could it reveal just how much.

international this choose day the twenty six of december boxing day then if you still celebrating christmas day is going ok we start with this is more than five months since the rocks second largest city was liberated from my sil but there's precious little for the people of mosul to return to in his latest report from the city our senior correspondent. the grim reality of life there the day. there are things you have to sheed to believe most old is such a place the old city of mosul is by any measure a dead and miserable place war rubble the buildings and even that mixed with unexploded bombs and decaying bodies at the spite these people are coming

back to live here and low self and not out of choice. when iraq where can we go through hard times tired only god knows what can we do it's all fate it's off fight . my home is destroyed my shop is destroyed i'm borrowing money just to feed my family i'm going to some my car tomorrow to buy food why is it like this where the countries that said they would support us there's nothing the u.s. led coalition spent all in all more than a hundred thousand dollars per strike hundreds and hundreds just in mosul the money required for just a few airstrikes could feed all the civilians in old mosul for months but no one has sent anything the local garrison division five shares its food with the locals and and showed up and handed out blankets but that eat no

one else has helped my what i could we don't want to fish all sitting behind tables and stealing while leaving us without help we will never vote for them they left us to choose between isis and death. this isn't life it is a grim existence imagine spending your days alva gene called the wire to feed your family at eleven years of age she's a little hungry out of you know she may go to school to another citizen martin what else is there to do in mosul. that is. that if. these children have been through hell closing your eyes won't help a lot in mosul the smell is always there to remind you how many people are still

buried in the rubble here by god many power. this here roughly eight thousand five hundred. comes out of thousands all these houses their families are on the need them if not the smell then hunger if not that then the dormant bombs if not then isis. five months since they declared victory escorts walked around with pistols in their hands drawn and cocked ready for isis hideaways it will have a city six days ago they discovered eight isis fighters in this neighborhood we couldn't even get them to stand they were so weak we called the doctor and he said not to give them water afterwards they took them away it will take you no

longer than a few minutes to find isis flags or propaganda weapons ammunition or unexploded bombs bodies tunnels this is one of the tunnels that isis used to move in and around the city for hided. some would. say i don't know the world has forgotten mosul it's out of fashion no longer trending and locals have a well founded suspicion that this was never about saving them. while recently vest a geisha by the associated press agency for that up to eleven thousand civilians were killed during the battle for mosul that's ten times higher than earlier estimates a third of those were killed by iraqi and u.s.

led airstrikes the norwegian refugee council media coordinator in iraq told us to but the difficulties mosul residents now face. we have managed to rehabilitate a water plant that's providing water to one hundred thousand people but with struggling with the same issues that these people are struggling with. we're trying to provide education in ways mosul but one principal came to us and asked us to remove dead bodies from his school before we could do that and there are also unexploded or bombs an ordinance is throughout the city that's making it very difficult for us there is still camps for people outside mosul and the longer those people there the more we provide them with there's a camp that we manage for twenty five thousand people around thirty kilometers from the city and we're provided these people with blankets heaters we're setting up schools there's a market in these camps we're trying to make life as unmanageable in these camps as

we can for them because obviously again by the footage in the photographs and stories they can't return to the city immediately and it may in fact be many more months before they can. never be used today the u.s. is facing having nearly three hundred million dollars less in its pockets over the next couple of years and there are some busta nikki haley didn't mince words either of the reasons why the budget was being cut. the inefficiency in ever spending of the united nations a well known we will no longer let the generosity of the american people be taken advantage of or remain and checked this historic reduction in spending in addition to many of the moves towards a more efficient and accountable un is a big step in the right direction so your members agreed the new budget on for sunday they captured at five point four billion dollars the united states does make the largest contribution because the size of its economy it's responsible for twenty two percent of the payments to the main budget contributing more than

a billion dollars over the last two years and worth bearing in mind too the u.s. also accounts for nearly a third of the un's peacekeeping budget with more than three billion in annual payments these funding cuts come just days after the u.n. overwhelmingly voted to reject donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital only nine members in the end including the us voted against the resolution while one hundred twenty eight others supported it off the u.s. had tried to pressure u.n. members with threats ranging from cutting aid to taking the names of those supporting the resolution. when we make generous contributions to the u.n. we also have a legitimate expectation that our good will is recognized and respected the united states will remember this day they take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and then they vote against us when we're watching those votes lead of or against us will serve a lot we don't care just about everything that ambassador haley has done since

assuming her post as being contrary to the spirit of the u.n. charter has been quite an diplomatic to the very notion of war diplomacy complete tact packed less tactful listeners and without any sense of nuance so this kind of crude language of threat and punishment use against soldering nations and so forth this really hurts the uses image and credibility of war wide and united states is not helping itself by having someone representing the united nations who is so undiplomatic and for into the spirit of the united nations. to follow you know it's been a peculiar twenty four hours on twitter for julian assange first the wiki leaks founder account temporarily disappeared then there was a cryptic message a tweet from the u.s. navy about it getting the bottom of it all our correspondent in a coach in a violent. christmas morning arrives and julian assange just twitter account

mysteriously disappears well this is what anyone trying to read his tweets was faced with for much of the day an error message saying sorry that page does not exist well if you're not familiar with twitter that appears only when an account is deleted rather than if it's been suspended by either twitter or the account owner the vanishing act didn't go on noticed by either side on twitter and that's when theories began to circulate about what might have happened to us account. twitter songs when he was prepping to drop something. trying to protect his drug of information. because he exposed the democratic and the clinton crossed family i believe we can say without a shadow over the d.n.c. . how to. if true julian the sun going dark is next really significant

development wouldn't want to be hillary clinton right now. disappears so haters of conspiracy theorists rushed to post the usual attention seeking rubbish twitter merry christmas people. but that's not the end of the story because also that day the us navy fueled the conspiracists with this tweet just two words julian a son written and speech marks that tweets was deleted swiftly as it appeared but it was up long enough for people to take a screen grab the neighbor's explanation was that one of their twitter team and advertently posted during a routine monitoring of trending topics before taking it down again not everyone was convinced by that explanation though some side it simply didn't the wall. while others felt that sound one and the u.s.

navy might have been giving a cry for help to juliana stanch we also made a vague reference to the u.s. navy but it concluded by saying that despite all the excitement julian assange situation remains the same. despite some auditors from the u.s. navy and tweeted today grist physical surveillance dylan songs physical situation of the embassy remains on north to confined without charge in violation of two un rulings requiring the u.k. to such. as unjust timeline was later resorted to but there has been no explanation from either twitter or a mystery some suspect that he was being prevented from making new earth shattering rather lesions while others claim that the restored account looks suspiciously different from the one that was temporarily taken down. former us soldiers have seen for themselves the effects of decades of pollution

caused by the american military on the japanese all of the vulcan our joint local environmental components in fact to document the damage to the rainforests that are trying to get u.s. forces to clean up their act. or. see. say. in our training or training any trash or take out would say. let's go for a minute. slow. but a lot of the summer would. see the. point she.

sees the most like so much history partly now the people in there much feel. good to me to come. to us marines behave that this in their own country in order to just act like it is because it's all. to the full us soldiers who are taking part in the okinawa campaign say the us is indifferent to the environmental problems it causes. i was in ok now because we had a delegation there. were supporting the local people. against the new base it's been created there and i was told that i heard reports that there was trash all over the place so i had to say with my own eyes because i was a marine that was stationed out there and i couldn't believe it because the marines when i was in we would never do that we were trained if if you pack it in you take it out so that's why i went out there and it just blew my mind i can't believe what

i saw all the trash in such a pristine area that claims that the u.s. military is the biggest polluter of definitely agree with that the single most polluter in the world and that's not something that it's that it's up for agreement or disagreement this can be measured. ranging from the pollutants from the c o two contributions that the u.s. military puts out into that mix fear them our fuel that they use the u.s. doesn't look into the environmental issues or. acknowledge them and i've seen a lot of issues around the bases in okinawa you know similarities in iraq and afghanistan and even bases here on u.s. soil where it's just contaminating the land that it's using there the open burn pits that is having huge effects on the military personnel members and just outright consumption of fossil fuels across the pentagon of all four branches having a training center in the middle of the rain for us should ultimately come down to

the people who live in or near that rain forest so say take the young boy forest in northern okinawa where the u.s. marines have been training for decades the people there on the ground who live there and have to suffer from the consequences of that training they don't want it there the u.s. doesn't really cooperate in any investigations of environmental issues because it's a direct threat to their national security goals but the problem is environmental issues are a direct threat to. our lives the u.s. gets away with a lot of environmental issues coming up our technology tipoff surveillance will supply edward snowden has developed an app it seems to detect if your home is being spied on but could it backfire and reveal more than you bargained for we'll look into it then sure after this quick break.

make this manufactured sentenced to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous. listen to the will. we can all middle of the room sit. twenty eight seen what will see are central banks adding bitcoin to their strategic reserves alongside gold so big gold buyers like china and russia will be adding big oil to their strategic reserves some the banks possibly of venezuela they could completely change their fortunes in the global economy by switching over to crypto switching over to bitcoin and then that will set a precedent for other countries

a policy. hug and so on up which let you know if your home is being snooped on not being developed by american whistleblower and on tuesday violence come painter edward snowden it works on droid devices and probably can spot shadowy electronic intrusion but as an issue so if he explains for us next it might also reveal a few things you may want to keep quiet. edward snowden has set out to prove he's capable of much more than leaking n.s.a. secret he's keeping up the fight against digital for valence the next time it's in the form of an app he's created a pessimal security system in the hope of empowering chen listen to beth to secretly want to possessions and a house a very fitting name. meat haven. makes it harder to. citizens really search rests without getting.

the streets kind of. more people want to crack down you have to. will i. say let's take a closer look you simply install haven on any android phone and your device tends into a surveillance system it works by the app detecting changes in the environment using senses already built in say you left your phone and attended in your bedroom and an intruder breaks in well first of all it uses the camera and it'll instantly start recording and may catch the unwanted visitor of course you could also set a trap for a nosy partner snooping through your messages secondly the built in microphone will pick up any conversations to be private while that's great for recording intruders voices which you also be tempted to leave it somewhere you shouldn't in all cases of a breach you'll receive encrypted or let's sober up helps keep you safe but it can be exploited i can have

a good site if there is domestic abuse going on for example and you want to record proof and then go to the police they can have a bad side because you might feel you're being stalked by a jealous ex spouse or a jealous spouse even there's a potential i presume for it to be hijacked as well tickets one will enjoy it which is i think has closed bits of software within it so there's always a plus month to be the new technology of course that said edward snowden himself has always been notoriously careful about the technology around him famously asking journalists to place their phones in hotel fridges to stop for oil would be snooping so it's incessant whether this app will create a physical space you can trust or make you more paranoid of the device lying next to you be aware of the spy next door. austria's recently sworn in chancellor says that is my good relocation quotas are not helping solve the refugee crisis sebastian kurtz believes the problem should be handled in fact the migrants home

countries. migrants who settle for europe don't want to go to bulgaria are hungry they want to go to germany austria or sweden they should be helped in safe areas in their own continent the e.u. should support that perhaps even organize it and back it militarily we've been similar calls in the past from other european leaders to just last month in fact a french president proposed military action to put an end to people trafficking in libya but some believe it's an approach is deeply flawed. from the damascus center for strategic studies with his thoughts on it. to send european troops or european armies to protect these. virtual safe zones i think it's not practical in first of all these armies would be involved in the internal affairs of this country and their reaction from the law people will be may be negatively they will lose a lot of. soldiers first so i think to be engaged in

internal adverse of any county it would be reflected on their internal affairs and i think they should read very good the story of syria during seven years they should read the story of libya the story of yemen the story in africa and i don't think that this is a good approach these pictures for instance showed just how desperate some migrants this guy crossing the helps for italy to try to reach france battling freezing temperatures and often inadequate clothing to try and seek a better way of life it's a snapshot there were little signs of this flow is going to weigh in the times as you just said european leaders are increasingly willing to take direct action in migrants home countries but. again the suspects even members indeed are trying to reestablish themselves as major players in the middle east and africa you have been you know they are feeling that they are. outside of the political

settlement now example in syria they are outside libya they started to go through against libya then they became not a. player in the internal affairs of libya in yemen they say maybe in africa we cannot see that they would be in there all is very important so because of that they are trying to. to review their role in the middle east next to the party went very bad a traditional christmas a fireworks display in central cuba has ended in tragedy with dozens of people including children seriously injured in a pair of tennis explosion. was i it's not yet know what exactly caused this to go so spectacularly

wrong under the annual around us festival takes place every christmas even attracts thousands of visitors more than thirty were seriously hurt in the explosion some reports of the be in a critical condition it's also not clear if any tourists were affected by the incident. so it may not be a member of the european union but its president on the less wants to hold a referendum on her country's relationship with brussels now a fundamental referendum was helps with sly clarifies relationship with a gripping union the bilateral paths important we have to know in which direction to go. so it's the brussels have been arguing since last week when the e.u. decided to set a one year limit on swiss stock exchanges access to the block its extension will now depend on whether there's progress or not in a go to your so-called framework treaty between the two sides although switzerland is not an e.u. member it is part of course of the visa free travel area known as the schengen zone

and it's got strong economic ties with the e.u. they're currently regulated through more than one hundred bilateral accords in fact which could be simplified by a new framework treaty but it seems some people in switzerland a very cautious about establishing closer e.u. ties we discussed the referendum idea with the euro skeptic from the swiss people's party which currently holds the majority in parliament there the relations between switzerland and brussels get worse part of the problem is that in the west in the world in the boy's carts start to increase unfortunately it looks like the european union is trying to rican our financial center so we have to see for him in the past our own government has made a dramatic mistake to get on its knees way too quickly when we were attacked in that sense by the americans a few years ago and now towards brussels to seem dangerous here we get on our

knees too quickly. checking out the time here moscow time exactly twenty six minutes past five in the afternoon if you don't come for those stories twenty four seventh's thanks so much of what she was latest live update with me kevin i would have mosco season's greetings for me and the rest of the international if you are celebrating right now because of a good one. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. but politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line they did accept it or reject it. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to.
