7:12 pm
have the right to know the fate of the loved ones whether they have been dead or are still alive somewhere in iraq being held by a certain party to a conflict what we do to assist because we know that the process to look and search for missing loved ones is a really painful process that can go on for many many years and we call on anyone who has a missing person in iraq to approach the international committee of the red cross and to report the missing gay so that we can assist in the search and identification of people who are missing as you just heard many people went missing in the fierce battle for mosul in iraq much of the city was reduced to rubble during its liberation from islamic state earlier in the air the red squares on the map shows just how much of mosul has been obliterated yet falling isis defeat locals say little effort has been made to rebuild what was once considered one of

7:16 pm
their currencies on their own while we're living in a new world of fashion and a new world of risks and for all of us using the internet airs are becoming more and more efficient and more sophisticated in their hacking techniques this is going to happen to me and promise you it can happen to him or. politicians in the u.k. a warning of possible sanctions against u.s. tech giants story and will still to come. dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to do socks for the so you can have the gossip the public likes to. tell you. and let you buy their products.

7:18 pm
vote the head of the so-called fake news inquiry damian collins has now given the social media giants almost three weeks to hand over all the information he's requested. they need to be able to tell us what they can do about it and what we need to be able to do is say to the companies we recognize that you are best placed to move it so what is going on your insights but if you fail to police the search effectively and deal with highly problematic contant then it has to be some sort of sanction against you damian collins the chair of the department of culture media and sports select committee in the u.k. parliament he's leading this investigation into so-called alleged russian interference in the e.u. referendum and he's really slammed these tech giants the social media giant saying that they aren't handing over enough information and that the information that they are handing over is the same that they handed over to the electoral commission earlier this month and we can look at some of the numbers of come forward facebook
7:19 pm
for example handing over information which says that story russian ads were taken out with only two hundred views or two hundred people viewing those ads and the total cost of ninety seven cents spent on the damian collins saying that no work has been done by facebook to look for other fake accounts and twitter as well handing over information saying that only six tweets from r.t. accounts at a cost of a thousand dollars again mr collins saying that twitter the information that they've shared is completely inadequate now we've spoken to facebook they've told us that they are closely cooperating with the electoral committee but that they don't have any evidence thus far of russian actors attempting to influence the brig's that vote but this all is very similar to the types of inquiries we've been seeing in the us and looking into the presidential election there and again alleged
7:20 pm
russian interference and we've also heard from the us senator mark warner who's also been very critical of those social media giants i was concerned at first. in the social media platform companies did not take this threat seriously enough i believe they are recognizing that threat now they've provided us with information because these social media giants they've continuously stressed that the number of ads in the reach of the ads taken out by russians or anyone linked in any way to russia is very small in comparison to other adverts taken out and of course very little has been spoken about for example president obama before that this referendum came to the u.k. gave a speech and told people how to vote very little attention they're given to solve called american interference so many people making those points as well. r.t. contacted facebook for a comment on the warning it told us it had responded fully to all the inquiries of
7:21 pm
the electoral commission independent political commentator and to carry things on the inquiry into alleged russian meddling have reached the point of absurdity to sign of desperation isn't it we have someone that wants to go to a very nice restaurant in the no tables if the guy is really desperate to get in there can you check again or are you sure you don't have any tables it really is just ridiculous they want to prolong and prolong and on scandal when frankly all they need to do is look at the facebook ads it's all a matter of public record and yes the fingers might get a bit sore scrolling down through the polls but it doesn't take it you don't need to be some sort of super james bond in order to conduct this it really comes down to irresponsible corporate governance irresponsible political governance and a lack of transparency on both sides and in order to stir hoodwink the public about this of this sort of back scratching competition which occasionally draws blood
7:22 pm
they need a distraction it's either a sex scandal it's russian meddling. the fatal. stabbing of a teenage girl in southwest germany has caused outrage in the country that's after police revealed the alleged perpetrator is her fifteen year old ex-boyfriend who is an afghan refugee he's since been taken into custody i witness to say the boy stabbed the victim multiple times she later died of her wounds in hospital locals gave us their reaction to the incident. was the story i don't know what i should see i think it is awful i want to buy some flowers and lay them down here what happened distressful. let's. look at. yes. this is the latest in a line of similar cases in the country two weeks ago
7:23 pm

7:24 pm
can get into a psychological crisis as well if the refugees central possibility to live so that they're not. used in in refugee camps and not only in one district in one place like a camp but flats and so they are more integrated and as well as important if refugees here or migrants are in germany they have to have to have the possibility to work and if you have a perfect if. you're not easily get violent. the first ship carrying russian gas has reached the u.k. under a new energy deal the liquefied natural gas is produced by a company which the u.s. put on its functions last in a wave strongly supported by london at the time the first round of washington sanctions were imposed in twenty fourteen in response to russia's alleged involvement in the ukraine conflict the us has always been critical of russia's gas

supplies to europe saying they undermined the continent's energy security with moscow using fuel supplies as a foreign policy tool of you britain has backed. it's not in europe's interests it's not in our interests it's also a political rather than a commercial undertaking and there is an existing framework in place for the e.u. to take more aggressive action on more trim too and similar projects if it wish to do so politically we have seen how countries such as putin's russia use their gas supplies is a tool of foreign policy threatening to cut off supplies addressed equal increase prices however at the end of twenty seventeen has seen the u.k. out in the cold and in need of russian gas it all started around three weeks ago when the most important pipeline to prison was shut down due to a crack then one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a spike in gas prices more of a britain has faced an unusually cold winter with blizzards and freezing temperatures we discussed the story with oil and gas expert. why is the
7:26 pm
european union but if them sub borke u.s. sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can put aside or a share of these sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the united kingdom now but i share her reliable supplier so i think that will continue of course the united states would like to be able to use euros the bandits are russian gas are russian oil but they come out they might try through sanctions doing crees their supplies over. to you old but it will look where to be very can and he is far more expensive than the russian gas. i'm often roundup of the news and i don't forget to check our website altie dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with well so don't go away.
