the shocking revelations of a forgotten iraqi city. and its liberation from islamic state now left for dead and in our correspondent and video agency look how life has ground to hold. on a very. small box. like . a german court. plane their religious beliefs were being violated. plus the u.k. government sets up a special unit to combat fake news. common sense should prevail.

it's nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching altie international live from our studio with me in india today welcome to the program kilometers of rubble thousands of forgotten bodies the chapter of mosul victorious liberation in iraq has closed and another is now open video agency ruptly his film the grim reality of recovery in the once tormented islamic state held city and a warning now that it does contain images of a very upsetting nature. let me in a see here now is all senior correspondent juan gon staff who was witness to the

battle unfolding in mosul you with that you're at the scene mont what was the thing that stood out most for you or what still stands out is that seven months since the battle of mosul still digging out bodies and they do this every day and there's you know there's there's been. no way a new side of an end to these examinations and these people they're out and about the city digging out bodies every day imagine what that would do to your psychology but beyond that. these pictures are all visually very distressing and we can show our viewers everything nevertheless there are rendered children's body parts sticking out sticking out of the wreckage and i remember we were there when the bodies that just started to rot and it was indescribable i don't the go ever forget it the smell was everywhere there were entire districts in mosul where you couldn't

breathe so noxious disgusting was the smell and really there aren't enough words in the english language to get it across you know i mean it's obvious. absolutely traumatized by what you saw and as you mentioned seven months since the liberation of the city surely there have been noticeable improvements. well the swell has it hasn't disappeared it's still there but it's good it's gotten the slightly less strong because of mother nature obviously when you dig down under the rubble and the dust it's still less and as horrendous as surrenders as ever but truly these rescue is the true heroes in all of this they do this day in day out they are so used to it that they don't need any breathing last

saw rags anymore that's how desensitized to it all they've become and it's mostly mosul residents themselves jobs are hard to come by in mosul as standing buildings skimmed how many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred ok are there any more yes in houses and on their odds question about and i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we are currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is well i haven't received any kind of aid since then it's been a stance seven months ago on one occasion didn't receive a small box of. my food nothing. obviously forces will just been telling us a lot of difficulties that what other problems were highlighted when you were on the ground when especially pressure pressing issues that mixed with the day breathe

the wreckage the clothes personal belongings and bodies of bombs unexploded bombs dropped by the u.s. led coalition that failed to explode on impact shells mines isis booby traps all still armed and these are claiming more and more lives even now morgan in mosul told us that they get a few people almost every day fresh casualties kids playing around and rubble setting off these explosives rescuers sifting through the wreckage people coming back to their destroyed houses trying to salvage whatever they can you know the deaths the deaths are continuing to pile up and we really we saw we were there from the beginning and when the u.s. led coalition's jets flew day and night bombing isis then we went a little closer and we saw what those explosions actually caused the price at which

the liberation of mosul came. to go you casualties are a fact of life in this sort of situation. do you agree that some of the the high level of i. ridiculous standard that we had previously is now created this. behavior by isis that they now realize if they take human shield they're going to avoid being struck and that actually this is adding

to the problem congressman i do believe they understand our sensitivity to civilian casualties and they're exploiting that and i do agree that as we move into these urban environments it is in become more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for of the things we're doing although we will try. to. get neighboring street all but destroyed the street across. the street over there it's the same story wherever you look. people. there are still calculus bodies buried under all this rubble and no one knows how long it will take

to get. let me show you what. looks like now a wasteland the city for intents and purposes is being erased little or nothing left so it's no surprise people don't want to return they would rather live in shanty towns and in tents but oh this i was really excited to return to my home and see it man when i see it in this state i wish i'd never come back meant to offend hand i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to this home that is what i've lost all hope of living here after seeing all this devastation. this was . iraq's second largest city founded thousands of years ago and it's been a pillar of religion aka textured culture ever since its reconstruction will never

be the savior even if it happens and its population will be massively diminished official sources the iraqis the us of all vastly and the state of the sheer volume of civilian suffering and death a thousand they said investigative journalists put the figure around ten thousand senior health chief in mosul who didn't want to be on camera told us the number is much higher. than this book alone contains the names of seven thousand dead victims i have four or five of these every day we got two or three more bodies victims of new explosions. so where does iraq begin and who will help foot the bill the answer is simple if given the choice no one it will take tens of billions of dollars to rebuild just mosul and there's more sensitive issue to deal

with first the bodies the iraqis hoped the u.s. led coalition would help resurrect mosul since its bombing campaign created much of the destruction the americans and bluntly said no we freed you will spend two hundred odd million dollars fixing the pipes but aside from that you're on your own as a call issue and we are not in the business of nation building or reconstruction we must ensure that our respective nations precious and limited resources are to go to preventing the resurgence of isis and equipping the warring torn communities to take the lead in rebuilding their institutions and returning to stability. and the civilians in mosul those desperate hopeless few that have returned have nothing. she said get a lot of you know she got to school. mark. what else is there to do in mosul

like to seventy percent just a little hollow push into the kitchen for me it's a chip but that's it. that was not gas to have on the unthinkable revelations of the situation on the ground in mosul after months on the terrorists rule. has requested comment from organizations about the city's plight but so far we've received no response we did however have from an international human rights lawyer and peace activist mosul is destroyed first by a group of non-state actors that came in took over the city and then by the iraqi authorities and i should say even before that it was destroyed by forces that had twice invaded iraq i think they have not only a moral but also a legal obligation to be involved in its reconstruction but i think that it is one of the most striking examples where the allies who have been engaged in violence

against the people there for more than two decades have really forgotten the people that the allegedly were coming to save or at least to assist and i think that if we're going to have any since you already have any credibility in what they like to call humanitarian interventions they need to be humanitarian in those instances and ensure that the people are provided a better life than what they had before in this case that has not been the case and i think that's quite unfortunate and shows a political ization. thing in the human rights watch is reporting that hundreds of families are being forcibly displaced the group claiming rocky officials are rounding up people suspected of having family that join deisel. human rights watch interviewed twenty four people from one thousand families. and army forces around the family with no warning and brought them to the camp after scream at military bases. when they asked why they were being displaced soldiers told them

they were innocent but had to move to the camp because their relatives had joined isis. human rights watch say two hundred twenty families arrived at one iraqi camp alone in a period of less than three weeks all of them from villages west of the city of kirkuk we spoke to the organization senior research for iraq and qatar who believes this is collective punishment use roundups and force displacement is being done by iraqi forces forces that answer to iraq's government these around it was done by iraq's army and with the collaboration of certain groups that also answer directly to the prime minister therefore you know what one can only presume that this is happening with the consent of the government even if it's not a strict government policy and therefore it begs the question of how the iraqi government can talk about any process of reconciliation if its own forces are

participating in this kind of a campaign when i talk to security forces and account management and all of them were the first to admit these families these individuals have not committed a crime they haven't done anything wrong in the eyes of the iraqi legal system the only reason they're being treated this way is because they have had a relative who joined isis now that that is collective punishment punishing a family an entire family for what a son or a husband might have chosen to do. the russian winter has set in for moscow blanketed by wreck or levels of snow fall we'll show you that in just a moment. the politicians. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to listen. to the right to the

press this is what. three of the more people. interested in the logs in the. show seem wrong. just don't call. me. to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

to the pride of a court in a small german town has banned its local mosque for playing the muslim call to prayer that's often elderly couple complained but not just about the noise it's a kind of vocal chant in a tone that has a disturbing effect on us but we are mainly concerned with the content of the call this puts our law above our god of christians and as a christian who grew up here in a christian environment i can't accept that. the mosque was forced to stop its call to prayer after a complaint in twenty fifteen however the court only came to its final decision and much of days ago and it could still be appealed we went to the town in west germany to hear how residents feel about the move. the ban was unacceptable because the court assessed whether the noise was from a distance the people who are here assessed that the noise isn't possible to hear from over there was it is important for people that the call is there so that they

know oh it's time for worship and then they are prepared to pray for me for me it's quite separate from the issue of religion i'm very much for the just freedom but the people who live around there are certainly affected if the cry is call out loudly in the area as they always do also there are quite a lot of mosques i don't know exactly how many mosques there are in any country in total but i think there are enough. we got reaction to the band from a number of experts. i think is of course a mosque has can can discuss the i think making the noise a little bit less discussing with the neighbors and and then themselves say that we're not going to do it but just. asking the low and society that this is a thing i think mr green doesn't know that europe has a history not only of christian and and but there are also history of muslims the muslims who are in spain longer than the catholics who have bosnians we have the

turks in europe so this is. a place where a lot of people believe as nonbelievers those with faceless with no faiths who live the united kingdom and virtue the good old of europe is founded on the bible as the lord jesus christ as the absolute foundation of our way of life. and to bring in the. form god such as the start of the god of islam is what this is really all about and it's about the. spread of islam over europe. and islams potential dominance in it and it always has been an expansionist religion for when it started the most noble so you know every religion is but it's not makes no bones about it and that is why it has to be another way of the islamophobia thinking mr greene is doing and still celebrating the kickoff of muslims in spain you know in austria there and their faith they say stomach face was recognized since one thousand two

with more than one hundred and and more than one hundred years it's nice but the empire as an official faithful in the idea of the religious freedom in muslim countries is complete rubbish will even allow to have a bible in saudi arabia for instance and christians are persecuted in egypt in pakistan in it in malaysia in mauritania any muslim that for you tonight is not extradited to find a christian i was going to. the. the argument falls flat we're being actually. the victims of our own tolerance in europe now that's true or not so true even there the indonesian ambassador his this is the largest muslim countries a christian who is here even in nigeria there was a christian president if you go to dubai if you go to qatar if you go to kuwait if you go to a man if you go to all these arab countries if you go even talk to belize and they leave so that's really rubbish to say it's of the not of a bible that is not churches. as breaks it negotiations continue over the

u.k.'s exit from the european union britain is making strong moves to battle fake news which could impact on the talks a special unit will be set up to combat this information. and in case you missed it r.t. is probably looks at who should be taking the initiative to find fake news in her new show it's now available on all our social media platforms here's a quick preview. in case you missed it break news is everywhere but don't worry because the politicians are all stepping in to. break news what is this election promises border walls extra cash paradise break quick break articles claiming you'll never guess what kids in college actually have done this time online five star reviews for hillary clinton's latest memoir break faith but you know all this the rest of us used to just call it bull but don't trump

labeled it and now even the perp is condemning the break news and you wouldn't believe the porky's he had a neighbor at the vatican the british government which ways has everyone's best interests at heart is actually setting up an anti faith news unit in other words the. effect that is like user includes shutting down all news papers t.v. stations the internet and i'm placing gagging orders on anyone with an opinion but there is another way all explained these are humans the majority of them contains the great many humans use them to think for themselves the detectives of pre-install some still believe my stuff anyway but not full select and will sort out the venture they were.
