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 on one issue i was really excited to return to my home and see it now when i see it in list states i wish i had never come by. and i feel completely destroyed i don't feel like coming back to this home 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 architecture culture ever since its reconstruction will never be the same if it even happens and its population will be massively diminished

official sources the iraqis the us of all vastly underestimated the sheer volume of civilian suffering and death a thousand they said investigative journalists put the figure around ten thousand a senior health chief in mosul who didn't want to be filmed told us the number is much higher. 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 even begin and who will help foot the bill the answer is simple if given the choice know what it will take tens of billions of dollars to rebuild mosul just mosul and there is the more sensitive issue to deal with first the bodies 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 fixing the pipes but aside from that you're in 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 devoted 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 the desperate and few that have returned have nothing she's. going to you know she be going to school. tomorrow. what else is there to do in mosul. just it would. be that if she ever thought that if.

that was not talking about the unthinkable revelations of the situation on the ground in mosul after a month and a terrorist. has requested comment from organizations about the city's plight but so far we've received no response we did however have from curtis doebbler 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 el eid forces that 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 they 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 throws a political ization. saying there are human rights watch is reporting that hundreds of families that being forcibly displaced that rape claim iraqi officials are running up to people suspected of having family that joined i saw human rights watch interviewed twenty four people from one thousand families they said that b.m.i. and army forces around the families with no warning and brought them to the camp after scream at military bases they said 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 capital and in a period of less than three weeks all of them from the villages west of the city of kirkuk we spoke to the organization senior research for iraq in qatar who believes this is collective punishment. these roundups and force displacement is being done by iraqi forces forces that answer to iraq's government these around it's 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 is collective punishment punishing a family an entire family for what a son or a husband might have chosen to do. germany has been forced to stop playing it's cold cold to press we have from the locals after this break.

the u.s. is losing into a summer on the climate denier precluding them from the dissipating in this new economy number one. the effects of the climate change and why the catastrophes the global you know migrants that are the result of it all this other problems are hurting the u.s. economy on the other side of the trade so you've got a double. come back to the program a court in a small german town has banned its local mosque playing the muslim call to prayer

that's a 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 above our guard 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 how ever the court only came to its final decision a matter of days ago and it could still be appealed we went to the tallinn west germany to hear how residents feel about the move. to ban was unacceptable because the court assessed whether the noise was audible 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 mr president

for me it's quite separate from the issue of religion i'm very much for really 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 also got reaction to the bank from a number of experts. i think is of course a mosque has can can discuss the think making the noise a little bit less discussing with the neighbors and and then themselves say they were not going to do it but just. asking the lol and the society to forbid it 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 by the turks in europe so this is. a place what a lot of people believe as nonbelievers those with faceless with no faiths who live

in the united kingdom version of the good old of europe is founded on the bible as as a the lord jesus christ as the absolute foundation of all of our way of life. and to bring in a foreign 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 attempt to dominance in it and it always has been an expansionist religion for when it started the most noble like every religion it is but it is not makes no bones about it and that is why it has to be another way of the islamophobia thinking mr green is doing and still celebrating the kickoff of muslims in spain you know in in austria there are their faith they say stomach face was recognized since one thousand two with more than one hundred and and more than one hundred years by the empire as an

official faith religion 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 malaysia in mauritania any muslim that for you tonight is not exercise to find a christian community and. 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 who is that this is the largest muslim countries a christian who was 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 or if you go to all these arab countries if you go even talk to belize and so that's really rubbish to say it's of the out of a bible that is not churches. and fair find footage has surfaced online allegedly showing a fight between the pilot of a downed russian jet and syrian jihad it is it shows the russian pilot fending off

his attackers before blowing himself up with a grenade to avoid capture. this clip appears to show one of the militants taking a selfie next to the victim after they had shot down his plane using what was believed to be a surface to air missile others are also taking pictures and chanting. the russian as you twenty five bomber was shot down by syrian rebel fighters in the province on saturday the pilot managed to eject from his plane but seemingly took his own life after he realized he was in further danger. and more. now is brags that negotiations continue over the u.k.'s exit from the european union and 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 artie's looks at what should be taking the initiative to fight fake news in her new show is now available on all our social media platforms here's a quick preview. that fake news is everywhere but don't worry because the politicians are stepping in to. break news what is this election promises border walls extra cash paradise fake could it be a thought 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 faith but you know all this the rest of us used to just call it bull. but don't trump. and now even the earth is condemning fake news and you wouldn't believe the porky's these paddlings were at the vatican and the british government which ways has

everyone's best interests so hawt is actually setting up an anti faith news unit in other words. if there. is like using clues 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 they are human the majority of them contain v great many humans use them to think for themselves the detectives of pre-install some still believe my stuff anyway but not full selection will sort that out eventually whereas these are politicians and they won't choose what news is fake i suspect you'll be amazed by how much can change depending on who's in charge i mean he's paying the bills our advice make up your mind.

from. the russian capital has been hit by severe snowstorms over the past few days and it's been called the snow fall of the sun cherry one person has been killed and five injured. checking the ports here on the street the floors continue but it's nothing compared to what we saw that weekend when there was about a half a meter of snowfall in one day and that's the heaviest snowfall that has been seen ever since records even began beating the previous record that was set back in one thousand nine hundred fifty seven and that was in addition to freezing rain and strong bitter winds and all of that together really brought the russian capital to a standstill with over one hundred fifty flights either cancelled or delayed throughout moscow's airports and local authorities reporting that around two thousand trees were down.
