6:09 am
a legal fact it's not up for debate this has nothing to do with opinion it has nothing to do with. it certainly has nothing to do line with god what happens every day in palestine is the palestinian population confronting and millet. harry that is basically a at the regional superpower a military that has control over every aspect of life for palestinians we confront these israel these soldiers at the checkpoints we have to deal with them when we need to move from one point to another in our own homeland they decide whether we can build our homes or not whether we can keep our schools the control is absolute we do not need any other coalition form any body this is all capital and i believe that sunday is policy and will come to negotiate us instead of using terror against us we'll have

ultimate tool of transforming the will of the people into people power in practice is arguably broad far more disenchantment than results. leading up to its vote spanish colonial so it all from countless walls sprayed with pro dependence graffiti two million strong demonstrations madrid has never approved of the referendum who ruled illegal under the spanish constitution but when a date was set anyway the future seemed bright for independence supporters. and that ninety percent at the ballot box said slowly you should break away. we have the right to decide our future we've won the right to an independent state billed as a republic. the outcome of the vote was hardly a surprise and neither was madrid's response i.
6:13 am
god was the colonel and government was sacked by madrid independence leaders have accused of rebellion and sedition as they fled into exile were arrested december's snap election brought a slim majority to separatist parties but with the pro union party winning the most seats so almost back to square one and nowhere near the independence promised at the referendum bus alone or was even banned from lighting its iconic fountains yellow with the color deemed a session a symbol. iraqi kurdistan is another region that had a shot at independence this year and miss two kids came out in force and voted overwhelmingly to secede from iraq then now this is a new era for the kurdish people it's a turning point and we have to use this is a big victory but despite the kurds saying yes to independence that's not what the

referendum achieved. and those who once spearheaded the push to break away bowed down. have informed the parliament that will not extend. although the brig's it though took place back in twenty sixteen he donated headlines throughout the last year. the sun has risen. in the band. jamie twenty days the national bank holiday we will call it independence day. briggs it was supposed to have moved far closer than it has by now but instead appears to be if anything drifting further away as if the divorce process wasn't painful enough prime minister may spectacularly failed to sweep two of britain's parliament into green lighting her
6:15 am
briggs it plans in july the international trade secretary said breaks in negotiations would be the easiest in human history. is the prime minister still agree with that assessment some created. but because he can be concluded quickly and bendish the commission was trying to bully the british people about this resolution for twenty eighteen don't get your hopes too high for a friend. or a full day in them is thrown out to people as a way of involved. the mass of the population and an important decision but then what happens is after the result has been taken that's the process which is captured by politicians one of the things i think we have to jason is hope is democracy actually function there's a problem with our democracy there's a problem with with power law is in our society. well mr of the last day or so
6:16 am
about to wiki leaks at a junior sun she kicked off the new year with a cryptic message she took to twitter with a seemingly indecipherable code and a link to a popular rap song left many people scratching their heads. so
6:17 am
much want to cover the next fifty minutes the second generally twenty eighteen i think it's not a percent twenty seven times the best of us what we got and well we have more in the devastating cost of victory in the iraqi city of mosul some graphic pictures there coming up as that story continues plus to a purchase at a moscow flea market brought two strangers together from different countries. that's. what politicians do do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something wanted. to go right to be close it's like the local korean people. interested calls in the water it's. six.
6:18 am
again thanks for watching today twenty seventeen saw the defeat of i still in syria and iraq but the human cost of the victory is staggering a u.s. coalition air campaign against mosul the terrorist a fact of capital in iraq all but raised that city to the ground was
6:19 am
a city of two million people hundreds of thousands were forced to flee many others a buried still under the rubble the horrors of war were captured by george butler he's a british artist embedded with the iraqi army. for him. her other. art is don't know hawkins talk to the award winning artist nurse traitor about his experiences in that conflict. what was your first impressions when you when you arrived and became imbedded with the iraqi special forces what i found i guess was
6:20 am
huge destruction to. civilian life and as ever it's the civilians that. are losing out more than anybody and they're the ones with the stories and other ones that i as an illustrator and as artist i guess are trying to do to give justice to what was the most difficult almost striking thing that you that you saw there something that really made an impression on you on one side a pile of piles of rubble this house has been destroyed in an airstrike and this. came out and bought me a chair to sit on next you could see i was touring and just begins to tell a story and isis fighters had fled the mosque next door during the fight firefight they'd come into his home where his family were living and then the iraqi army had called in an airstrike which it softened in mosul of course killing but also killing his mother two of his brothers and one of their wives this attack actually
6:21 am
happened on the same day that there's an infamous attack hundred sixty people were killed in mosul you know the willingness to talk about it and the openness and the normality of it was perhaps the most extraordinary thing and that is the fact that i was so so regular i guess is just a difficult thing to accept you what was before to capture this in your drawing but it is something you really occurred all over the city but a lot of the damage that you see is not done by not done by car bombs or firefights but by a strike that story of people civilians caught up in that it's obviously very sad but it is happening in mosul over the last few months i just want to ask you on the point of the refugee camp as well you've made one painting in the. amount of recently suffered a heart. born just after the second world war. lying in this tent outside the main refugee camp conditions the heat alone was and his wife you
6:22 am
can imagine the desperation he hasn't eaten for five days or drunk and. it's a very private moment this man may well be dying maybe it will be dead by now but you're inviting strangers in into your tent for those last moments on the off chance that they can help for me was a difficult choice whether you whether you engage with that and tell the story or whether you stand out from it because of course the chance of helping is very i think. what memory you will take away from from your time in mosul the one you know impression that really will will stay with you i think it's always. well i suppose it's always been the same and that is. that it is the majority of civilians losing out. hugely to something that they have no control of and the lack of this kind of very vulnerable the moment and the lack of choice and the thing that i guess it was sticks to me is that the drawings that i'm doing are done with permission the best drawings i did were the ones that i was very much emotionally
6:23 am
attached to the kind of desire to draw to do justice and draw exactly what was in front of me. only for now a chance finding a camera abroad in a moscow flea market one french photographer impossible puzzle to solve is a story. sixteen beautiful pictures. black and white pictures which were all about a boy. apparently an important moment of his life so i've got to found it find him to to give is photos back to him. there were part of that i was at the airport where my friend sent me a photo of a little boy who looked very much like me with a caption saying looking for
6:24 am
a russian boy there are so many questions where's these photos come from and why is someone looking for me or who is this elizabeth and how did she get these photos of your. phone me really. i got the what's up this age from dimitri saying i was a russian boy you are looking for. in the end i decided to color by skype and we talked for two hours about everything she turned out to be a very nice woman. but it turned out that my uncle had given it to his friend to sell it to market we had forgotten to remove the film. pretty wordy elizabeth this planning to come here in february to visit all these places and photos just written an amazing film script for the story that's going to be turned into
6:25 am
a documentary i'll do my best to help her. is the idea would be to use a camera as a literary camera which is a key object in order story and use it as a character and really photo in those of us of the camera and go back to the places where the picture was taken. i'm not looking for fame i just want to share this amazing story with other people so that others might realize their life is not just about politics and death but includes room for small everyday pleasures. and the. cute story in it. comes with the latest headlines great features like that you can catch up with a number of the programs that you may have missed as well for now though for me
