islamic state that's a good war by how much the pentagon has requested for military operations there this year. germany rejects the deportation of a turkish jihad it's true supported extremists in syria the month prison term is almost up and it could be released next year. and ecuador is considering outside help to resolve the case of julian or thongs the wiki leaks chief's been holed up in the country's london embassy for five and a half years. very warm welcome you are watching our senior international broadcasting to you live from moscow and the care of the u.s. embassy in iraq has announced one hundred fifty million dollars is to be spent rebuilding cities left devastated by the war on islamic state but that's only

a fraction of what the u.s. has earmarked for its continued military operations there are these more advanced years has more on the story what does this look like to you mark mark. resident evil no this is mosul or rather what's left of it quote a sea of thousands of air strikes we filmed this a few weeks ago and nothing's really changed from when we were there last this is what the aftermath of a classic strike in mosul look like neighborhoods that numb but in the thousands it's been reduced to a handful. the iraqi army and the u.s. led coalition seem to make sure to not leave a square meter on scorched earth it took a pre-season i haven't yet seen

a single house and mine still untouched by fighting the neighboring street all but destroyed the street across rubble the street over there it's the same story wherever you look cities and towns that house the medians a devastated hospice even now in mosul you are never far from the stench of rotting bodies or unexploded bombs help reconstruction no one seen any of that module be it the. way i did they enter a little when it was two and it is. doing. well she's a little hungry alice get a lot of you know she be going to school in the city doesn't matter. what else is there to do in mosul like a civil servant just it was done in the holocaust and that to me that if she ever put it to you. as strange the u.s.

had pledged to help and do what it's bombs did they're already helping fund reconstruction iraq says it needs one hundred billion dollars to rebuild and the united states has doubled its. to one hundred fifty million dollars or about zero point one percent of what iraq needs and no one seems to have seen any of that but as a teacher had to teach your most if you are a good. little wife or. don't love them all jumbled don't have surely. love common enough to share here that i would die i should i hadn't this way. now one of the magical should have it now after sharing them to our south we're not five as i had the start of a dallas market and it has not filed many of us said so lucky rather than left to send

a message that the the numbers are an entirely different leagues but the united states spent on burning isis out of iraq and what the us has pledged to repair the damage it did or entirely in comparable numbers the average cost of a u.s. strike in iraq at the beginning of the operation very roughly counting fuel fly time cost of bombs made in uncertain military pay was half a million dollars for one of their strike they carried out fourteen thousand strikes in iraq alone and after helping turn iraqi cities into this all the complex has one hundred fifty million dollars the equivalent of two mid-sized passenger jets that isn't going to change many lives in iraq. a court ruling in germany has provoked control of a sea after it refused the deportation of

a turkish to harvest the decisions likely to also give chancellor merkel a headache as she continues to struggle to form a coalition government official it depends has more details. well germany's top court her has ruled on wednesday that a person cannot be deported back to their country of origin if they face torture or inhumane treatment in that country now turkish court has said that germany would need to have appropriate assurances that neither of those would take place if a person was deported to that country now this case has been highlighted because of a court case brought by a german born turk who was convicted back in two thousand and fifteen of supporting terrorism the man who's thirty years old had traveled to syria and had supported a terrorist organization in the country including giving funds to that terrorist

organization where he received a three and a half year sentence for doing so here in germany but in two thousand and sixteen he was threatened with deportation back to turkey and he decided to appeal that threat and take it to the court system here in this country now he had support from groups such as amnesty who said that if he was deported to turkey because he had links to a terror organization he could be tortured or abused and they're not the only human rights organization who have made links and allegations like this human rights report back in just a few months ago actually raised a report which detailed eleven cases of people who had links to terror organizations who were tortured they say or were abducted while in police custody and as a result of that the court has made this decision today that man has two thirds of

his sentence left to serve and could be released within the next year and that is highly controversial here in germany because many people fear that he could potentially be. there is a terrorist threat in the future he could actually be somebody who then goes on to actually radicalize other people to carry out potential terror attacks here in germany and germany of course is no stranger to terror attacks the country's been on high alert since the christmas markets attack in december two thousand and sixteen which killed twelve people and injured dozens others back in two thousand and seventeen just weeks after that christmas market attack the german interior minister called for speed in deportations in cases like this but this ruling could pope spoke in the wheel of those with anybody now able to claim that if they deported back to their country of origin they could face inhumane treatment or

torture and that some people say could add fuel to the fire to an already politically charged argument this thing is. fuel on the fire or anyone and it's not only the. push. to the christian democrats to have. a criminal deported a new ruling of the federal constitutional court to not be received with great pleasure by the public at large. well this case comes as a highly sensitive time politically here in germany as angela merkel is trying to grasp onto her chancellorship her party is in talks with the s.p.d. over forming a coalition government and that comes after talks with other parties in germany fell apart now this decision by the high court is unlikely to help the parties or

who already have very deep divisions when it comes to issues over immigration gel together. and could always pushing to resolve the case of julian or sarge the wiki leaks chief has been holed up in the country's london embassy for more than five years and faces a respite if he leaves now ecuador's foreign minister says his country may seek outside help artie's laura smith has more so the ecuadorian foreign minister has come out and called the situation of our sons' living in the embassy here in london unsustainable with a person can't live in those conditions. we're considering the option of mediation . that virus third country or individual. no solution is possible without international corporations or without that of the u.k. which has expressed interest in finding one in terms of the u.k.

expressing interest in finding a way out of the government here has reacted and it's pretty odd unswayed says that the government of ecuador knows that the way to resolve this issue is to have julian assange leave the embassy and face justice for their part of his legal team have welcomed this new initiative they're saying if the u.k. wishes to show that it's a nation that respects its human rights obligations and its commitments to the united nations then it should. walk free or when they refer to the united nations they're talking to about a two thousand and sixteen ruling by the organization that was being held in arbitrary to ten. meanwhile the media here is speculating that at what ecuador really wants is to push out of the embassy to get rid of him in september he tweeted in support of the catalan separatist movement the ecuadorian president tweeted in response saying that should keep his nose out of the business of its allies if president marina wants to get my reporting on human rights abuses and

speed explicitly together with the legal basis there are other issues at play here as well several days ago the ecuadorian foreign minister also said that our soldiers health situation is very delicate he added that he is receiving medical help but there is only a certain amount of help that he can receive from inside the embassy she reconfirm though that ecuador is guaranteeing his protection he has been living in the embassy in knightsbridge here in london for five and a half years now since two thousand and twelve and there have been several key moments during that time not to the least of which was last year when swedish prosecutors said that they were dropping investigation into rape allegations that he had faced people thought possibly that he would then be able to leave the embassy but the police here reiterated that if he does set foot outside the embassy he will be arrested for being in breach of his original bail conditions and wiki leaks has always voice fears that he would then be requested for extradition by the

united states several months ago ecuador and officials said that they were going to call on the u.k. to guarantee him safe passage to go but that's something that the u.k. as we just heard doesn't seem to be any closer to doing so for now despite this little bit of movement on his fate still hangs very much in the balance and it's very unclear who or which country might step forward and offer to be that mediator . well meanwhile people are still puzzling over a cryptic new year message just songs left on twitter a seemingly indecipherable code and a link to a popular rap song since then he's gone silent has generated plenty of debate about what the tweet could actually mean.

well there were signs hasn't posted anything since he has made a minor change to his account adding a small son time moji to his leg. tennessee has been indulged in violent protests with thousands rallying against rising prices unemployment and tax hikes police used tear gas against the crowds after people started burning tires and hurling stones at least one protester was reportedly

killed there on the restaurant did around the same time as similar demonstrations in iran but unlike the situation that has gone largely unnoticed artie's paulus leah has more. well these protests intern is here started after the new year and they came in reaction to the tennesseean government introducing a new budget plan for two thousand and eight that included amongst other things a rise in fuel prices and tax hikes the response from the tennessean street was one of anger and what we've seen is protests taking place in several dozen cities around the country with us out there one person has been killed and several people have been injured now it is familiar to protests happening in another country namely iran what you're saying actually have here are two countries with protests taking place on the street by people who are unhappy with the economic situation.

the root of it is just a canard it's the problem of youth unemployment i personally haven't been able to find a job for a long time but if people have a job they don't have any problem with the government about the demands of the following suspend the twenty eighteen film and slow return to the original prices of goods and high of one member from every poor family these are in short. realizing petrol prices this time is huge we have a lot of privilege and have to pay a lot of fines it's only acceptable that we pay for this government's mistakes. but we are protesting here because of high bryce's and employment we were the growth in these and we have been subjected to violence by security agents now the two mr prime minister has said that there is no place for violence and the sentiments echo the words that were used by iran's leader what happened yesterday is a violation of the law since a state of emergency has been declared in tunisia these protests are the result of

operations that aim to review social unrest that we are a free nation and according to the constitution and human rights the people are absolutely free to criticize the government and even protest but they are proud. this should be in such a way as to aim to improve the situation in the country we the government will definitely not tolerate some protesters who want to destroy public property or disrupt public discipline and create turmoil in society western leaders for example the french president are crying and the e.u. highway present mahoney were quick to condemn the waning protests even have the american president donald trump calling for regime change iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the bammer administration the great iranian people have been repressed for many years they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights the worlds of iran is being looted time for

change but when it comes to the current potest that are taking place in tunisia while here they have kept mum and now it might be that to near zero was the first country back in two thousand and eleven at the start of the arab spring to ask a dictator in a move that was widely approved by the western world as being one of the democratic change but since then there have been no less than my own government in place intern is here all of whom have been unable to get a handle on the economic situation the question of course is whether or not we'll see these cause for regime change and condemnation and criticism against tunisia like we've seen for example against when sociology professor science sadegh believes iran is getting the attention over to misery or as it's the only one food is an enemy. tunisia is on the me the three it's a small country not many people know about that in american society. who many in america have been and the enemy i mean enemies are enemy and

a major obstacle for american policy in the middle east since it's the volution one hundred seventy nine in their case all to very happy to look at any small d p that happens in a small book this to inflate that in the media to look as if this is the end of the regime so it is totally different pool which in covering tunisia and. put this to me the for well back after this short break. this is an amazing story because now we're seeing real geopolitical impact of that calling on the g. twenty countries g. seven countries japan actually the spending power the culture to rise and they call it in the millions of people that are buying it in japan multi billion dollars that they have appreciated in value is causing a genuine effect in their economy and this is going to be the year twenty eighteen

where pick up the currency is have this geo political influence. sure seems wrong. wrong just don't hold. me. to shape out to stay active. and engaged in equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back now pressure is mounting on the israeli prime minister after

a controversial recording involving his son yeah it was leaked to the press benjamin netanyahu his lawyers reportedly tried to prevent the tape being broadcast on local television. i would forgive me if. i was half way sky coming over because of. course if i was. going to doubt that margin going. on in that recording reportedly made in two thousand and fifteen you know you can be heard chatting to the son of israeli gas tycoon koby meirman outside of a strip club be my mom is a shareholder at the gas company that allegedly benefited from a controversial two thousand and fifteen law on natural gas drilling rights legislation concerned to huge newly discovered gas fields of israel's coast and essentially gave corporations control over the development of the deposits but

the government arguing it would stimulate investment however critics slams the proposal as corrupt giving too much power to corporations and demanded nationalization of the deposits following the release of the controversial video not in your who denied any knowledge of the plans saying his conversation was nothing more than a drunken joke i regret the remarks and apologize if anyone was hurt by them in addition the things i said to my mom were a dumb joke and joking around with him as anyone could tell. well this comes as prime minister netanyahu is already being investigated in two separate corruption cases the allegations include receiving bribes and negotiating favorable media coverage the prime minister strongly denies all the accusations but in the meantime he's pushing for a special immunity law which could allow him to avoid prosecution we discuss the latest controversy surrounding the knesset netanyahu family with regional analysts

. it looks really bad for the prime minister and it doesn't look like you know someone who wants to be a leader of a country to have his son running around in a government vehicle doing things you know don't look so complimentary and it's not the kind of why the prime minister would want to do whether it's a danger to the prime minister or undermines no i mean it's a self undermining thing and the reason he did it is because it looks bad but you know we're in a democratic country and as long as. he's living in the prime minister's residence i may have to answer some questions this is not the first case that we are speaking about corruption in the family of binyamin netanyahu as the prime minister of israel these were you may lead to that would draw a lot of confidence and that's the main threat for really a minute anyhow that's why they're trying as a family to play with words showing that it's not. a fact but it was just

a matter of a guy who was hanging around with his friends and he was just chatting about different things but this is not the matter of fact. the german army is recruiting an increasing number of under eighteen's according to figures from the country's defense ministry more than two thousand teenagers are now voluntary for germany's armed forces as a sharp increase over the last few years germany is one of the few countries worldwide that allows under eighteen's to volunteer but only in a non-combat role teenagers can apply if they are seventeen and have parental consent the german military is currently conducting every crewman dr with offices giving talks in schools across the country the campaign also features an online reality show.

a program follows army recruits for twelve weeks it is one of germany's most popular online projects however it's drawing criticism for making the military more attractive to youngsters the un's concerns the recruitment drive specifically targets children the german army has defended its methods insisting the training is done under strict supervision earlier we spoke to a regional m.p. from germany's left party martin doul there's a gainst targeting youngsters had been a huge campaigns in schools even in kindergartens. to. make the army more attractive to young people there had been some schools who had been working together with the army to put the young students in some kind of camp

we support some initiatives called corner bundeswehr for example which say as well that education should take place without bundeswehr the people who are under aged they shouldn't be to. get into the army the united nation already in two thousand and fourteen. the german government to stop this and race the age of soldiers i think this is a problem. but the main problem is if you do a foreign coppola's you with this which is based on dialogue you don't need such a strong army all so many soldiers i think that is the main problem behind it. michelin stars are considered a whole lot whole market fine dining with recipients gaining prestige in the cullen area world but in a small mining town in the eastern front one chef is being forced to turn his star

in there no fault of his own has his story. it's like when people over the past four or five years have seen a steady decline in tonnage and fall in business costs for various reasons many people prefer to stay at work and get deliveries in the office two of them come to the restaurant and companies are making less so the budgets are tight to fill it is that. i've been in this town for eighteen years and we've had a mission a stall for thirteen years for the region it's a shame to lose a star restaurant but it's a good thing for the industry overall unfortunately we need to focus on employment rather than high end. but that's the way to. do what they feel.

join me again for the latest headlines the top of the hour. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat somewhere i would sleep. but i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. while you look up. a couple of italy like you go to school you know to simulate it still give out food for the harvest.

as you don't really feel like a human being in that. and then. the guy just came over to me saw me and gave me his job his book. what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich. but you'd like to be first was like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. there should.

time action or attention we're going underground as the world commemorates the use of united states weapons of mass destruction against hundreds of thousands of civilians in nagasaki and japan arguing not to end world war two but to raise the threat of cold war armageddon coming up on the show the big issue as the monument to what's djerejian the poorest communities and one of the richest areas on earth continues to cast a shadow across the british imagination we speak to the founder of the magazine of the homeless but about call mom and the national poverty prevention unit and. just what was going on in the media for the conservatives or the bumbling watched policy so to speak and saw the counts were able to pop into my head elusive street

are just the awful daughter gives face to face interviews and going on the ground from the headlines claims and counterclaims in caracas and how the n.h.s. is privatizing. all the civil coming up in today's going underground so the lives of hundreds of thousands of british children in tory britain are apparently under threat according to anti-poverty charity the trussell trust as u.k. children lose access to free school meals during the summer holidays years of blairite labor and tory austerity have been put into sharp relief in one of the richest countries in the world meanwhile record rises in homelessness have accompanied the transfer of wealth from social services to defacto taxpayer benefits for the city of london some believe that all it would have taken for engineer liberal leader jeremy corbyn to be prime minister of britain right now instead of theresa may propped up by a party linked to far right paramilitaries would have been of the lethal grunfeld tower inferno.
