neighboring street all but destroyed the street across. the street over there. it's the same story wherever you look. countless bodies vary all this rubble and build what builds how long it will take to get rid of. let me show you west mosul now a wasteland the city for all intents and purposes has been erased and there is little or nothing left so it's no surprise people don't want to return and they

would rather live in tents on one issue i was really excited to return to my home and see it now when i see it in this state i wish i'd never come back but this was iraq's second largest city founded thousands of years ago and it's been a pillar of free legion architecture and 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 in the us have all three understated the sheer volume of civilians 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 it will take tens of billions of dollars to rebuild mosul alone and there is a more pressing 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 this destruction the americans in bluntly said no we freed you spend two hundred odd million dollars fixing the pipes but aside from that you are on your own as a cause 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 hopeless few that have returned have nothing. to go to school. what else is there to do in mosul. but that if she. was murat down steve on the grim reality in mosul in the wake of the grueling liberation campaign well r.t. has requested comment on the situation from a number of rights organizations as well as the u.s. led coalition oxfam's humanitarian coordinator for the middle east joined us earlier to share his thoughts on mosul's plight. the reality is it's been a very intense battle typically. non-experience it's often very complex to rebut the. quake or

fighting like a lot of funding you can use the rehabilitation on your old man the outlines of the bill is very high. i'm not. looking to international donors and i'm astounded and quickly rushes them all to start with and start to come into increasing the funding for the recovery effort for such in the whole gulf. but for the whole of the region then the government which has been so affected by fighting recently. the u.k.'s high court has ruled against the extradition of an alleged british trucker to the us laurie love is accused of carrying out cyber attacks against the f.b.i. enough among other organizations but the u.k.'s lord chief justice said extradition could pump the hacktivist life risk your plea bargain with more. holding hands with his family larry love left london's royal courts of justice having won his appeal

against extradition to the u.s. where he's wanted for allegedly hacking into u.s. government websites and very trying for. a very long road to the right result. and we we can exercise the sovereignty of a legal justice system people can have a reason let's go be treated humanely and if they have engaged in criminal behavior that they will have a portion of sentence inside the court when the judge read out his verdict the chairs in celebration was so loud that the judge was forced to remind larry not supporters that this is a court of law and not a theater throughout the legal battle the alleged attack is legal team had argued that his was a case of life or death love has asperger's syndrome and a depressive illness his family and legal team said that he was at high risk of suicide and the u.s. incarceration system couldn't guarantee his safety it was very unfortunate the

prosecution tried to paint a mental health conditions as being made up fixation is compatibility to it and that contributes to the stigma of people with and so this isn't as important. ministration of criminal justice and also for the humanitarian accommodation of people whose brains work differently from the case was remarkably similar to that of another british man accused of hacking into u.s. government websites gary mckinnon who has autism back in two thousand and twelve his extradition was also blocked but it was that then home secretary theresa may who did it since then the powers to block an extradition have been transferred to the british courts and larry loves case was its first test but not all his legal troubles are over it's possible the americans might decide to appeal i don't know that. going to happen or not but they have two weeks to decide whether to do that

or not and then yes we have potential proceedings in the u.k. but love and his family have always said that he's happy to face the music for his alleged crimes they just wanted to be a british band that british band or rather a british trial is likely to be larry love's next battle artsy london. the international olympic committee has rejected the requests of thirteen russian athletes and two coaches for invites to the fast approaching winter games the sportsmen and women were recently rules not to have violated doping rules by sports highest court the i.o.c. however still has the power to decide who competes and who doesn't. we're right this is st procedure. extremely disappointing because decisions up holy. repeats. the privilege to be invited

requires more than just the air of a stage. so we have to know it is right. it's we're seeking invitations to compete along with other clean russian competitors under the banner neutral athletes from russia this swiss space court of arbitration for sport said on thursday b i was seized evidence that the twenty eight had taken banned substances was insufficient been twenty cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that's an anti-doping rule violation it was committed . concerned. the i.o.c. is decision has infuriated a number of russian officials the country's prime minister has said the committee has violated the olympic charter on basic legal principles a representative of the country's bobsled federation even went so far as to describe the decision makers as puppets on the head of the cross country skiing association has claimed a war is beginning that was cashmore

a sports expert on sociology professor at boston university told us he believes that russia's sports people have been treated deeply on for only. politics have driven this whole narrative from the start i mean everyone was denying it but it had to be political what's happened here is that russia has been made a scapegoat the i.o.c. in particular but the world of sport in general has really been looking to make a statement an affirmation of it stance against doping in world sport and it's it's issued disqualifications and lifetime bans to individual athletes but this is the first time in history that it's found a whole nation culpable for sport has billions of dollars coming in through sponsorship deals that there are a great many corporate globally corporate sponsors who put money into a sport they do not want their brand names associated with an enterprise which in

some senses is soft on drugs because it just doesn't want to associate its brand with drugs and so sport has been under pressure. for a nuclear threat subvert or of democracy and this state to poised and ready to kill thousands of british citizens at any moment now it's all been said about russia recently on the accusations and negative portrayals keep on coming in the latest illustration of the anti russian animosity in the west the economist magazine run a story describing the country as the bad guys on the sorts of images you're seeing here are starting to appear on a daily basis with soviet symbols even making a comeback daniel hawkins was joined earlier by a member of the u.k. house of lords to discuss the current level of a still a t and what is driving it. i think there's a deliberate to demonize rush the moment it's as though they need to search around for an enemy when i was much younger used to be gold was communism but now that

russia seems to have money should build three thousand churches they just change the excuse just very briefly on the media climate i mean boris johnson the u.k. foreign secretary he was quiet hostile towards r.t. towards this channel and you know there is a bit of a negative media climate right now i mean how do you feel about politicians yourself appearing on r t did you have to ask boris johnson perhaps get his opinion on your appearance saw as you say in your position your age it's something you don't worry about i start certainly didn't talk to anyone to get permission to come on to your program i decided to come onto your program not because i agree with you but because i want to improve relations between our two countries and between western europe and the russian federation and the c.i.s. but just in terms of the latest example i mean there's been a kremlin report released in america putting together targets for potential

sanctions in the future some of said the list is almost been to put together in a bit of a random fashion what are your thoughts or not i mean lists are very the in thing to do enough or are they lists of useful idiots are you not afraid of appearing on a list just for coming on the program today who are probably will appear malicious but by the time you get into your middle seventy's you don't get too worried about being on you sorry but. the level of mistrust and suspicion is completely now out of hand you know there are lots of problems between our two countries and indeed between east and the west that needs sorting out but to my mind denies this recent speech in the council of europe we need another helsinki we need to sit down and talk to you. gather and work out of the problems not constantly be deepening the that will do no one any good.

washington is facing a growing backlash from the international community over its plans to modernize and diversify its nuclear arsenal both germany and china have now joined russian around in condemning the initiative the us defense department published its nuclear posture review last week it asserts that the united states sees its nuclear weapons as a deterrent against both nuclear unknown nuclear attacks the document also claims that china russia north korea represent a unique and complex threat to the u.s. and its allies but as mentioned some of washington's partners are raising concerns over the program. the decision by the us government in favor of new tactical nuclear weapons shows that the spiral of a new nuclear arms race is already underway as in the times of the cold war we in europe are especially endangered we hope of the united states will abandon its cold war mentality only special disarmament responsibilities correctly understand

china's strategic intentions and objective leave you china's national defense military buildup we spoke to international relations analysts victor garber he says that nuclear proliferation is endangering the whole world. the united states has the largest the defense budget in the world larger than the next ten countries military budget combined together if it needs this as a defense measure is completely inaccurate and is misleading the whole world i think in the world we live in today we need peace we need stability we need development we need to have responsible global countries like the united states for example taking up their responsibility rather then spending money more and more saw all developing and improving their nuclear weapons which are eventually a major threat a menace to world peace and stability. russia's envoy to the united

nations has told a security council session that moscow believes the process for investigating chemical attacks in syria has been sabotaged killam open the latest for us from new york. the u.n. security council convened a meeting of the fifteen member body to discuss investigations into chemical attacks in syria the russian ambassador took the floor and emphasized that these investigations shouldn't be politically motivated and there shouldn't be any presumptions of guilt he also emphasized that throughout the entire investigation the syrian government was fully willing to cooperate with the investigators but their willingness to cooperate wasn't really taken into account. syria has informed the international community including the un security council that if it's found dangerous chemicals in areas liberated from the terrorists. must be immediately investigated by the o.p.c. . now back in january russia put forward

a draft resolution of their own arguing that there needed to be a change in the way the investigations were taking place they criticized the work of the joint investigative mechanism for the fact they never actually visited the site where the alleged chemical attack in qana shaken last april actually took place they never visited the site some of the sources that they used for their report were less than credible had links to al qaeda and terrorism they raised that there needs to be a change in how these investigations were being done in the u.k. and the united states were harshly critical of russia saying that their proposed draft resolution would bring the council back to square one in its investigations russia spoke up and defended its proposed resolution being harshly critical of the work of the joint investigative mechanism which. considering last year's issues were conscious and base it seems the investigation was deliberately sabotaged. the entire chamber agreed that there needed to be a serious investigation into the vital issue of alleged chemical attacks in syria

however when it came to the issue of how this investigation was to be carried out that's where we saw some pretty clear disagreements among the countries of the world. there has been a breakthrough for russian doctors sentenced to two years in prison on charges of malpractise following the death of a patient she has been allowed to return home to their retrial after serious questions were raised over the furnace of the case the doctor in question and then it mr another was being held in a detention center and was waiting to be transferred to prison the general prosecutor's office ruled out there were some irregularities during the investigation and the as a result took the decision to a log or to return home if you're not was accused of botching the biopsy of one of her patients whom she was treating for blood cancer he had gone home following the procedure later developed stomach pains and was rushed to hospital where he died after undergoing surgery missouri was held responsible by the court and sentenced

to two years in prison but numerous medical experts have expressed i thought she was responsible but some simply everyone who's written to me has voiced support for me friends colleagues people i don't even know thank you all so much it is very important to me i appreciate it thank you very much dr myers you're in a house thank all the people who have been supporting our many in the medical community have taken up her cause. has been spreading online as well as in hospitals across russia along with her photo one of the country's leading pediatricians gave his thoughts on the convicted doctor being drawn to the retrial . i'm very happy with the wise decision that was made today and i think it's just the beginning as almost the whole medical community is disturbed by the injustice of the case there's a lot that's unclear and many things need to be proved. with the hype around crypto currencies continuing to grow but their value still experiencing extreme volatility especially due to regulation fears moscow has played host to

a major summit on all things block chain miguel francis center attended for us. welcome to our weekly digest on everything in the world the block chain this is our cheese could tell you i'm your breasts and. this is the w.b.c. the world blog chain and could still currency summit here in moscow and this is exciting so many different people from all over the world we have presidential advisors of the russian president we have the lad martina from the if hearing him chamber in russia. some people call this guy the russian bill gates we have all kinds of representatives a lawyers and private investors from europe and all and even american canada so let's see what this is all about and this is definitely a very interesting time for cryptocurrency here in russia let's go. now but it's

only a matter for example i have twenty hives where bees are mining honey they do everything on their own and mine two hundred kilograms in each hive so as long as i just eat this honey myself and share it with my family and friends the government doesn't care about what i'm doing when i make a move to sell it the government immediately calls it a business i think that investments in crypto currencies are very risky is even worse than forex. there is a very strong appetite for government any government can rush into to get it on the control but at the same time the smart governments them to stand first of all it will be extremely difficult close to impossible but also. smart governments trying to understand how to create a certain legal framework not to kill the industry and then based on this experiment to really understand what's the real risks and as soon as we understand

the real risk it will be much easier to introduce property just nation to manage the. sometimes we need the dips because there's a lot of hype and frenzy right now which is not healthy for the ecosystem. so i actually like this because i buy in dips and then i hold them and i think. we will probably see elijah do at some point the i feel crypto bubble will burst in the same when we had the dot com at some point but then you know those are really generating value will survive said to me sometimes those periods are cleansing and i like. well that's our news for an hour just a reminder keep up to date with all the big stories of the day by following us on twitter and i'm back in thirty with more our t.v.

programs there right stay with us. join me every thursday on the all excitement show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello and welcome to crossfire or all things considered i'm peter lavelle the memo

has come and gone but this controversy is far from over the political bias of the deep state has been revealed and the illegal activities exposed if anyone will be held responsible. crosstalk in the memo i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have a cure all of which is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and we have she is a political analyst we spoke nick international our german cross-talk rules in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want i was appreciate we're going to talk about this is kind of a post-mortem here might be a very long when depending on how dense unfold here let me just give real quickly for our viewers here are six takeaways most important take away from the memo that was recently released by the g.o.p. regarding pfizer war. criminals intelligence committee hillary clinton and the d.n.c. hired foreign spy to concoct

a fake dossier on trump. the clinton campaign in the d.n.c. gave fake dossier to obama d.o.j. an f.b.i. the department of justice and f.b.i. knew that the dossier was fake and politically motivated the department of justice and the f.b.i. present fake dossier to face a court to get trumped wiretap we're talking about a page in this case the d.o.j. in the f.b.i. don't tell the court that the dossier is fake and from political opponent and the face of court. fraud into ordering wiretapping the trump campaign again quarter page here. this is because this is devastating ok devastating there is well six smoking guns at the very least and from what i understand this is i hate using the term tip of the iceberg but what. the intelligence community made available through the the white house was approximately ten percent there's a lot of underlying evidence that can be released that was based on these six

points look at the irony of the situation and the american intelligence community accused russia of interfering in the election process in the united states while in the aleksey there is not a single fact. there is no base there is no factual basis for saying that at all russia did nothing to fear the american actions but the american intelligence committee who was accused certainly directly interfered eagerly unconstitutionally interfered in the american political process and this memo outlines parts of that interference not not all of it we know of instances. where they interfered and it shows how what the american intelligence community is playing in the american society in constitutional law you know what's really interesting to me when i read the four pages plus the one and a half pages from the white house i have to pat is on the back we've basically got

it all right yeah basically connecting all of the dots that's what i want to say is actually there's very little new here very little we have been saying the combination for a long time it is a partial confirmation because of course the democrats the f.b.i. a whole host of former deep state officials from the liar liar james clapper on down came out and declared that releasing this was a pack of democracy attack and security national security the heavens would fall well i think the u.s. is still there. last time i checked anyway after that you know the interesting thing was the flipside of what mark is saying is that you know it was a threat to national security it's an affront to our intelligence agency to have law enforcement you know use it used to be the liberals that used to be very you know worried about law enforcement everything is flipped over right now ok but the interesting thing is immediately after it was released i don't know if anybody

these liberals or c.n.n. or m s n b c actually read it but then they decide it's. nothing to see here move along how could be within one new cycle it was a threat to national security then. exactly to see here i think what we should prevent from happening is this let's move on attitude prevailing again because we understand where it comes from tromp is basically leading the same polish just now hillary clinton and obama have been lead in before trump was elected he struck at syria he published this all for nuclear posture review right so he is basically moving the country towards a war movie and humane it towards destruction so now they are prepared to let it be and i think that what they're prepared to lead to be for a very different reason to picture i mean you have the former director of the f.b.i. i mean i watched the hearings he perjured himself repeatedly. and i'm

sorry let's make sure you know i wonder what mike flynn was he watching or did he read the memo that paul mann afford read the memo to the really die did ok but we have a whole cast of characters at the d.o.j. in the f.b.i. that perjured themselves in front of committees and under oath where there's. you can't you can't walk away from that. did it twice. and the other occasion was it was really just more here is james called me going to twitter and frankly proclaiming himself a victim. like to the victims of joe mccarthy code me or the rosen stand these are the loving descendants of joel to see that well i mean i put the chain can i put the cherry on top ok gentlemen ok headline from the new york

times the feeling new york times trumps unparalleled war. on a pillar of society law enforcement i mean this is orwellian i mean from what i read of those four pages that there the deep state is that war with the democratically elected government of president of the united states that is the assault that's going on right now this is so duplicitous it is so hypocritical to hitler and i want to the biggest accusations is it's starting to undermine americans trust in their intelligence community out of i don't know if my kids need to know all of you out there but i've been doubt in our intelligence community since oh the iraq war since the gulf of tonkin for from the libyan genocide i've you know i mean down to the spanish-american war and. even ships in fact if i could for a minute but for the intelligence court the family deals with the whole reason that

we're sending up to the court was to prevent the abuses that the american intelligence community. did in the seventy's in the sixty's in the fifty's so post post whatever gate that america decided to create this act and what do we see now we see that first of will let's go back to how this court functions if we look at this record of this court last legislative almost every single last ninety nine point three percent seventy nine point eight percent ok this is a secret court that hears secret arguments about how our intelligence community wants to spy on american citizens they approve ninety nine point eight percent of cases brought against it no no negative no credible oversight or it's a rather special court authority it's a rubber stamp secret court and they're spying on american citizens and this is they they bring obviously fraudulent evidence and from.
