forced into following america's elite no i mean i think way you earlier said about a poly centric world is correct and if you have a poly centric world then that means that the u.s. has to sit down with other powers and players in the world and we have to think about how we can work together we do have an enormous number of when we've talked about some of these shared interests so the effort should be thinking about how do we cooperate in dealing with the shared interests. so anderson and here talking about the u.s. adopting a sensible strategic policy and going through with it but if we try to look at it from a non american point of view we see that since iraq invasion in two thousand and three american foreign policy has been impulsive and quite chaotic and focused on its own interests rather than the common one and has contributed to the mess in the middle east rather than solving anything and after two decades of this how can the

u.s. regain the trust of the international community and its leadership ability because i mean so far and i repeat from an outside point of view it's not been ticket well i completely understand you know your view on it and i think many americans would also share your view that. the invasion of iraq was a strategic blunder and disaster for the u.s. and they were very unhappy about and that's why they the popularity of george w. bush went down in his second term but you know americans look on this is well we had good intentions we were trying to deal with what we thought was a threat of weapons proliferation. and in afghanistan we are trying to rebuild the the country now that doesn't exist the good intentions

doesn't excuse what it happened and the disrupt jund disarray that happened in the middle east but that is still how a lot of americans look on that the rest of the world is very focused on the disastrous results the u.s. public and elite tends to think more more about the intentions we're. seeing those is good intentions almost a decade ago eighty years maybe you set cyber security as a top threat now the pentagon has recently proposed writing a nuclear response to devastating cyber attack into the u.s. military doctrine what kind of a hostile action in cyber space what merits a nuclear attack well i think in the in the. pentagon's mind it would be to disable. critical infrastructure so for example like the

electric grid in the us or the functioning of financial institutions in the u.s. . now whether they would actually i'm not sure that even those actions. would. they certainly don't justify in my mind a nuclear attack but i am not sure if they would actually trigger one. because i think you know most americans are very scared about what would happen after they did trade nuclear attack and that would be particularly against russia china or another nuclear power there would be retribution. dr virus on that optimistic note thank you very much. you were talking to

. the shocking revelations of a forgotten iraqi city mosul once victorious and its liberation from islamic state now left the dead and in ruins our correspondent and video agency look at how life has ground to a halt. on one occasion didn't receive a small box of. bombs. also in this monday morning's headlines unverified video online allegedly shows the last fight of a russian pilot as you tried to fend off syrian terrorism after his jet was shot down on saturday. and the german court of the muslim called for an elderly couple complained their religious beliefs were being violated.

it's ten o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me in a day or two to 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 our video agency abruptly is filmed the grim reality of recovery in the once tormented islamic state held city and a warning here that it does contain images of a very upsetting nature. well with me in the studio is our senior correspondent mark can staff who was witness to the battle unfolding in mosul. with their you're at the scene what other things

that stood out most to you or what still stands out is that seven months since the battle of mosul has ended they're still digging up bodies every day and there's no end in sight to these examinations these people we see work every day didn't go up more and more bodies but you know we were there when the bodies just started writing and it was something that i'll never forget the smell it was beyond sickening beyond nauseous there were entire districts in mosul where you could hardly breathe so bad was the smell and if you weren't used to it you keep on retching it's not something that you feel that you should get used to we can even imagine and what i can see the effects that it's had on you know not surprisingly very traumatic and it has been seven months since the liberation surely there have

been noticeable improvement while mother nature has done its job the smell isn't as bad but it's you know it's still something that will make you sick but the true heroes are the people that are doing the digging doing the rescuing clearing clearing mosul and many of them is so used to it you can see that they are the even wearing breathing masks or even rags but as i say you know. very little employment to be found in mosul jobs many buildings even still standing come to how many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred are there any more yes in houses and all the roads were as you are and i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we're 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. we

haven't received any kind of aid since then it's been a stance of a months ago on one occasion didn't receive a small box of ponds no food nothing but the people we heard from there they highlighted a number of issues that everything seriously affected in the last living there what other problems that you see the bombs the mixed with the the wreckage that they breathe the furniture of people's belongings bodies of bombs unexploded bombs bombs dropped by the u.s. led coalition as a bomb mosul that failed to detonate on impact shelves mines isis booby traps all of them armed and even now rescuers tell us every day two three several people will be killed when they sift through houses kids playing in rubble for example rescuers digging up bodies owners coming back to their destroyed houses in these is

the death toll you know keeps keeps rising but. we saw it all from the very beginning from when the coalition's jets would bomb mosul to when it was safer we went closer and we saw what those explosions did cause first hand and what price this liberation came. oh. civilian casualties are a fact of life in this sort of situation and. how.

do you agree that some of the the high level of i think 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 him become more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for the things we're doing although we will try. to. help. the neighboring street all but destroyed the streets across rubble the street over there it's the same story wherever you look.

there are still calculus bodies buried under all this rubble and no one knows how long it will take to get out of. let me show you what west mosul looks like now a wasteland the city for all intents and purposes has been erased there is little or nothing left so it's no surprise people don't want to return they would rather live in shantytowns and tents oh melissa i was really excited to return to my home and see it when i see it.
