neighboring street all but destroyed the streets across rubble the street over there. the same story wherever you look. there are still countless bodies buried under all this rubble and no one knows how long it will take to get wouldn't. let me show you west mosul now a wasteland the city for all intents and purposes has been erased and there's 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 this was iraq's second largest city founded thousands of years ago and it's been a pillar of religion 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 will 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 war in torn communities to take the lead in rebuilding their institutions and returning to stability in the civilians in mosul the desperate and hopeless few that have returned have nothing.

to get out of you know you go to school. what else is there to do and most of. them just it was going. to be. that if. it was the right guess the if on the grim reality in mosul in the wake of the grueling liberation campaign well r.t.d. has requested comments on the situation from a number of rights organizations as well as the best laid coalition oxfam's humanitarian coordinator for the middle east joined us earlier to share his thoughts on mosul's plight the reality is there's been a very intense. been very complex there to rebut the. quake or fighting like that

a lot of funding it needed the rehabilitation on your old man the outlines of the bill is very hot. i'm not going. to international the sound of it from films in kuwait where russia has been beat up to start with guns don't count in to increasing the funding for the recovery effort for instance in the whole gulf . for the whole of the region then the new government which is by finding reasons. the u.k.'s high court has ruled against the extradition of an alleged british hacker to the us laurie love visit use of currying hard cyber attacks against the f.b.i. another long other organizations but the u.k.'s lord chief justice said extradition could pump the hacktivist life risk only boy who is across the story for us. holding hands with his family larry love left london's royal courts of justice

having won his appeal against extradition to the us 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 our legal justice system if you can have a reason let's go be treated humanely if they have engaged in criminal behavior that they would have a proportionate sentence inside the court when the judge read out his verdict the chair is in celebration was so loud that the judge was forced to remind lowery 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 six fiction has come february to and that contributes to the stigma of people with them 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 if that's going to. no 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 loves next battle artsy london. the international olympic committee has rejected the requests of thirteen russian athletes to coaches for invites to the upcoming winter games the sportsmen and women were recently ruled 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 aren't. we are applied the same street procedure. extremely disappointing because decisions up holding a number of repeats. the privilege to be integrated

requires more than just the excellence of a sage. sole we're not in the right. but the athletes were seeking invitations to compete along with other clean russian competitors under the banner neutral athletes from russian the swiss space court of arbitration for sport said on thursday the i.o.c. is 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. well the i was c's decision has infuriated a number of top 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 and head of the cross country skiing

association has claimed a war is beginning caution worry sports expert and sociology professor at the u.k.'s aston university told us he believes that russia's sports people have been treated deeply unfairly politics and 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 the 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 is found a whole nation comparable 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 a subvert or of democracy and a state poised and ready to kill thousands of british citizens at any moment that'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 ran a story describing the country as the bad. guys the sorts of images you're seeing right here are starting to appear in a daily basis with salvi it's 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 hostility what's driving it i think

is a deliberate way to demonize rush to the moment it was the only thing you 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 managed to build three thousand churches 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 onto 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 didn't put together in a bit of a random fashion what are your thoughts on that 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 removalists but they're all the time you get in your middle seventy's you don't get too worried about being on me sorry but. the the level of mistrust and suspicion is completely now out of hand you know there are lots of problems between our two countries am 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 each other and work out of the problems

not constantly be deepening them that will do no one any good. meanwhile the european union is seeking to accelerate its expansion into the balkan region on tuesday the european commission will be discussing a plan to bring serbia and montenegro into the block by twenty twenty five and for a more countries after that according to some media including the financial times this is all part of an e.q. strategy to counter russia's growing influence in the region however the paper does not a lab or a tz on the claim moscow has maintained close relations with most of the balkan states since the one nine hundred ninety s. in particular. it supported serbia during the nato military intervention in one thousand nine hundred nine well to discuss the multi-faceted story when i bring in international affairs commentator marco marco good to have you on the program if this plan is fulfilled it's going to bring in six countries first montenegro and

serbia later albania bosnia kosovo and macedonia do you think most e.u. citizens will be happy about that. i think that. the citizens will need a lot of persuading to allow corrupt non fictitious statelets like coffer our crime ridden provinces of serbia are operating under a false name of independent state into the e.u. and indeed the whole region is deeply troubled by corruption but the fact is that the those states most of them will actually end the fictitious state like kosovo as it were will be very pleased to go into the e.u. so they won't need persuading except for serbia itself so serbia is the key to this because serbia is the only country on the list which really needs persuading and the reason why it needs persuading is because the price of even bishops for serbia

unlike the others is incredibly high serbia would need to be persuaded into allowing its profits will cost around the time he has been converted into a second albania and no serbian politician would want to be responsible for that which is why the serbian politicians want to farm the decision out perhaps to the people having loaded the old in favor of a vote for membership but that said there is no clear indication of what the population would really vote for if they were asked it is a very tricky question for them the fact is yeah i wanted just to to get your thoughts on another issue the balkan expansion plan has been linked to country russian influenced does this incident if it exists really pose any threat to the e.u. markel. it's not so much a question of the russia posing

a threat to the e.u. . the west in general wanting to make sure the russians appreciate the threats. to them if they don't comply with what the west wants so really it's about getting russia into lie compliance as well so if russia loses its few friends western. turkey then clearly its geostrategic position will be much worse so this is about shutting russia out and indeed to some extent china as well from this region in order to make a monolithic e.u. stroke western bloc another big issue of recent years the both can route played a major role in the migrant crisis with more than a million people passing through montenegro and serbia to reach the e.u. if those countries are brought into the block how could that affect the the migrant situation well there will of course be attempts to make the balkans into

a big camp for migrants maybe other e.u. countries will not want to accept i don't think that will work because these are states or demographics where. the proportional one religion or another has been very divisive in the past or other has enabled those countries to be divided in the past so i don't see that as a successful strategy or all know can we just go back to what you said was the key to this serbia the population seems to be divided on the issue of the e.u. membership the latest poll that i'm looking at find that fifty two percent were in favor but a survey last july put that figure at forty nine percent do you expect a backlash from those who don't want to join get closer to europe. well i think a lot of serbians realize very clearly that. in essence the e.u. is offering serbia the chance to lose good relations great trading relations with

many economic blocs it would turn for having good relations with just one and so i mean we should recognize that serbia has several suitors on the global stage it's got china it's got russia it's got japan it's got the arab world it's not just about the e.u. and serbia has been doing very well in recent years thank you very much from this kind of universality of for attention so really there's not much in it for serbia to replace all of that with just the e.u. which is run essentially by countries which have traditionally in the past showed results of the not very friendly to serbian interests to say the least marco always great to get your take him marco gas to international affairs commentator thank you thank you. russia's envoy to the united nations has told the security council session that moscow believes the process for investigating chemical attacks in syria has been sabotaged with the latest from new york killed not. 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 having 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 of the possible good news 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. coming right up poco sure thrives even in the hardest of times and

toughest of places live from moscow this is art international. the memo his 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 who if anyone will be held responsible. doesn't it doesn't matter what your.

soul is such serious security you know life all wastes all there's a couple wants. your face a toll on the streets oh i don't actually it's easier you know like that i don't want to watch attention. i'm. singing into jane and you know for a lady to go on the stage and perform from people openly it is considered a taboo in afghanistan rather than one. of the best out of georgia go go go go go go go no it wouldn't. look some of the. guys who are going to. be making film in the country don't want to see them or you know we don't have foam in this studio we don't have a studio this country was. really good so don't say. so we'll see if you think. egypt way modelo i want to go to sleep it's just i'm coming home but.
