if four months after its liberation from islamic state people from the syrian city of raka are slowly returning to what's left of their homes but many buildings in the city remain riddled with land mines and booby traps and locals say they've been left to take on the reconstruction by themselves. was still a third. of our homes because myself when we returned we found everything we just rubble look at all the devastation rock is a ghost city. even if we are living in the midst of destruction we feel completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. like us horrible the city lies in rubble have to be made to remove the debris with all money there's no running water so we have to buy in barrels and the us

coalition caused the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water supply in clearing the rubble. i found a mine on the streets near my house my friend and i tried to detonate it from a distance but it didn't go off we thought the mind didn't work and work towards it it's exploded my friend was killed i survived. across the border in iraq civilians are also struggling to rebuild their homes but the country's second largest city almost completely reduced to rubble mosul was liberated by the u.s. led coalition and iraqi forces back in july after months of fierce fighting and as strikes some forty thousand homes need to be rebuilt they're all repaired according to the u.n. the government says it needs some eighty eight billion dollars in reconstruction funds for areas devastated by war and some that it aims to raise at

a conference that's just got underway in kuwait however the u.s. which is expected to attend says it has no plans to contribute money. buzy u.s. government announcing its contribution at this time not aware of any announcements that we will be making and i can tell you overall. over the past few years we have spent the united states government has one point seven billion dollars in humanitarian aid in iraq alone. from the pakistan institute for conflicts on security studies think that there's a high risk of new insurgency if iraq is not rebuilt quickly. the sunni population are already marginalized by the government and they're actually in the previous some years there led to the insurgency and i.s.i. . is on there now there's another group recently we have some reports that the

other group is emerging just like i.s.i. yes in some parts of iraq saw the emergence of another insurgency there. are other there is on the guard if the iraqi government is are they able to rebuild the sunni areas which were badly destroyed during this fight. russian athletes have won their second medal at the winter olympics in south korea a silver in the figure skating with canada getting gold and the u.s. bronze medal was secured by fifteen year old alina as the gates of a here is making her debut at the games but fellow athletes not actually competing was far from complimentary on her twitter account twenty six year old american figure skater ashley wagner accused the russian soul the medalist of killing time in her program and condemned her tactics in which she reserved her jumps for the second half of the routine and the remarks have sparked a furious reaction online i personally disagree that this wasn't the program it

matches the belly relatively well maybe you're just jealous you can't compete with that stamina and those jumping passes your feet looks a big green with envy it's just your envy you can't jump like that in the second half and even in the first i know you're just trolling but also true well we got reaction from russian coaches on wagner's comments who told us its point that when prices. ashley wagner has done a lot of particular skating she's an outstanding athlete the rules for the competitions have changed and it's like accounting we simply need points it's not about beauty in order to win you need to do what alina is a get over did today. as well as the competitive side there's also the slow shell aspect of the games with most nations hosting their own hospitality houses as they're known russia of course isn't officially represented at the olympics but

there's still a corner of playing chang that feels very much russian as a leper trying to spin finding out. as usual there are all kinds of national houses at the olympics and young chang the likes of the hall and house near the coast the countries like austria and switzerland naturally settled a bit higher in the mountains and since team russia doesn't officially exist here the traditional russian house doesn't either or isn't that a mature orsha. to make sure russian fans have a home in korea it took a few tricks after all the i.o.c. must be respected the place is called the sports house obviously you find wide blue and red in the design but never specifically and the recognizable pattern like here's white and black in between what could appear to be flags stripes no official

russian symbols the mentors because i haven't become official right other than that pure i ration fun and spirit. among the attractions here are these hockey jersey from every year at the olympics that russia one goes but this one from nine hundred ninety two like here in korea you won't find the letters russia or the u.s.s.r. i will ask the guest if they know why and why did russia compete under a neutral flag at the olympics twenty six years ago and see money oh boys you see

these you. will see increased. i don't know sorry. i don't know just i got some clues for you countries take turns with the why. respect you the i.o.c. said it was essential you know one of us i think it's number one finally i meant i going back patton as in the same reason. that. the summit will be sunday night i think it's. the third with russia let's just established as a country so being unique left russia was just established as a country that's when the soviet union. had its break up so neutral flags weren't always down to the i.o.c. sanctions. have a drink go our tea chang a film a terrorist suspect blows the whistle on security failings at london's busiest

airport with the details for you off the show break. altie we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best

form since my last will call him and that throws are asleep. thousand zero zero zero zero zero russia. nice drive. no left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. welcome back one of the world's busiest airports and london's heathrow in the u.k. is being accused of lax security a former terror suspect with a string of criminal convictions was reportedly given access to sensitive areas like the one way with no background checks made and i see a check and picks up the story. another highly concerning incident circulating in the press here in the u.k. it's been reported that a former terrorist suspect and a criminal with seventeen aliases was able to get a job at heathrow airport which is in fact one of the busiest airports in the

country without as what's being described as proper security and background checks and being able to allegedly get as close to things like luggage area as well as airplanes it's being reported that this thirty one year old man had a criminal record lasting over a decade including for things like threats to kill robbery money laundering and assault now he has been reported to have spent five years behind bars previously and it's said that he was interviewed by anti terror fish oils as much as five times in the last two years now those charges against him were dropped however he must have been on some kind of watch list following all of those developments however this is exactly what is raising questions as to how this story was even able to unravel now curiously this man worked as a kitchen porter in the business and first class lounges at heathrow airport and he

himself has said that the fact that he was able to do so is a disgrace and he was trying to show a loophole in the security system the security procedures are a disgrace and need to be exposed i'm not an extremist a terrorist i love and want to protect it i can't believe how close i can get to the planes and luggage i can't believe stuff with you through don't get checked it's crazy well it seems that heathrow airport officials seem to believe that there's not very much to worry about in relation to those developments. the conditions of. the individual to be considered school to. start was also subject to robust and security each time he gained access to certain areas we've contacted the metropolitan police who have told us that they would not discuss such matters now it has to be said that this man's temporary pass was active for just several

days it's been since been revoked and he no longer has this job but however the fact that this even came out of course raises lots of questions about the state of security especially this not being the first time that something like this unravels . as a blunt warning of america's war strategy in afghanistan this time from a national security adviser in neighboring pakistan who searching his government to negotiate with the taliban we got some insight on this from the chairman of the pakistan people's party he's also the son of former prime minister benazir bhutto and widely tipped to be the country's next leader he told samir khan that he thinks that the u.s. has lost its way in the conflict. pakistan has been a strong ally of the u.s. in the war on terror but it's been about sixteen years and there's still no end in sight how would you change pakistan's policy in afghanistan unfortunately the of the on war has turned into this for ever war with the united states is

a lot site of its objectives it seems that they don't know why they're there what they want to do or how they're going to get out the fact of the matter is that seventy five percent of honest man witnesses terrorist activity forty five percent of our plan is done is not in the control of the our run government we want there to be peace in afghanistan but it has to be an afghan led peace and the afghan government and nato forces need to start taking responsibility for their failures if in this long in this for ever war they haven't been successful it's time for us to rethink what we're doing. i the pakistan people's party police a non interventionist foreign policy in their change if changes to take place that has to take place domestically inorganically. and unfortunately we've seen

the west get overly excited by the arab spring and didn't allow it to take its organic conclusion and we shouldn't focus on individuals we shouldn't try and advance political agendas states' political agendas whether it's in of honest syria or in iraq and we should let the people of syria decide their future. but we've always always in our previous government emphasized good relations with all countries particularly our neighbors i don't think it's fair to expect from pakistan that they won't maintain good relations with china who's been our all weather friend an absolutely important ally to our country or even iran who is our neighbor i'm really happy to see cooperation between pakistan and russia increasing and i'm very optimistic that this partnership will continue to increase we

like to be treated with respect and the people of russia and the government of russia have been very respectful to the government and the people of pakistan. have to hear your thoughts on all of our stories they do get in touch by following up following guys on social media other back in about thirty minutes with the latest headlines for you that. join me every first day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking together for the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. that's in american interests to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the united states or elsewhere in the world so i don't think there's any dispute on that in congress and

i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive . hey everybody i'm steve and bob gosh i want to ask hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and our video to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well just a little bit different i want to. read it or not there are no windows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm hitting the road to have fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap it is the great american people. on. the bit.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last bang turn. your attitude up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one might differ as i speak ten out because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

lexington in the central east of the united states it is within this city with a population of three hundred thousand that the university of kentucky company found. it is barely nine in the morning david and brandon two first few students are in the middle of a video game. jewel as a warm up before the first match of the season for their universities american football team the wildcats are going to drink a beer before you can start the race so you're waiting to hear cheers while. the students have found themselves a great way of supporting their team since breakfast is into. a large supply of strawberry banana flavored vodka david and brandon down four shots in less than two minutes on empty stomachs. cause good. for the students university sport events are a great chance to get away from the pressure of their studies but also

a particularly good opportunity to party and drink. on. your grandson isn't twenty one years old yet the legal age for drinking alcohol in the usa. but on campus circumventing the law has become a national sport. and other on the way to the stadium they get thirsty again their competition has started. in the streets of lexington the behavior of these young men doesn't seem to shock anyone you go there. and these students even walk along with a bottle of vodka in their hand however as is the case on many other american campuses alcohol is illegal here the cops don't care that is that there was if you fall down for it to hammer the larger residue but as long as you can spare. the gold rush or somebody on university match days anything goes for almost anything.

just outside the stadium the traditional parade has started. led by kerry their leader the cheerleaders galvanized the crowd. a triumphant parade announces the arrival of the uncontested stars of the campus. around fifty students football players accompanied by their team of staff. all eyes are on this group of players good enough to play for the big professional team. in the usa the love of university schools goes much further than the campus supporters. in the stadium parking lot many supporters teds have been set up. fans of all ages from all over kentucky support the wildcats. is the only. thing that. we will bring. to.

the fans are very loyal and also very generous. tickets sales related merchandise supported donations last year the football team brought in more than thirty million dollars for the university a cash machine which contributes to its space. inside the stadium the great event of the sports business has begun. the brass band on the cheerleaders provide a great show. for the play it's a rifle. that cheered on by a crowd of sixty thousand supporters. twenty two year old frenchman tom giambi has a front row seat. look it's a touchdown. almost a tester. tom as a top level tennis player recruited by the university to defend their colors.

the frenchman was awarded a sports scholarship which allows him to study for free today's his moment of glory . another attainable treat for the majority of students because behind all the show and bitter american universities hired a reality that is very different. columbia dartmouth new york university american universities are among the best in the world renowned for their teaching their sports establishment but also for campus life. and party.

studying here can cost up to eighty thousand dollars a year so when students don't receive scholarships like tom they take on a debt in order to finance their studies. thirty two thousand and it's up to one hundred twenty. to get by financially some female students like it leave don't hesitate to look full support. to the first two hundred dollars. a site openly matches up generous donors with indebted students and so the controversy breaks out. you are a prostitute and you are a mit educated person. on campus the pressure to succeed is so high that american students open window binge drinking to let their hair down. but also taking amphetamine derivatives to boost their academic results there's a real trafficking of substances going on in. the fraternities are symbol of

prestige in american universities they attract students who want to be part of the elite. to join these influential and secret societies some are willing. to be put through all sorts of humiliation we would get points for vomiting on each other. diving into the heart of american campuses where the obsession to success justifies all manner of extremes. lexington is the second largest city in the state of kentucky. over the last three years tom giambi has become one of the local tennis teams mainstays and thanks to this he lives in this residence with the swimming pool free of charge also known for the locals to those in need. or keep. the lexington campus holds more than twenty eight thousand students cost of studies up to twenty thousand dollars per year. but even so the tennis player doesn't pay a penny it gets better in order to enable him to succeed on the tennis court the

university adapts to his sports schedule. while here interest accurate read through ivy and. thomas and his final year of communication studies now with the many matches he has scheduled for the season he will often be absent with such students the university asked that the teachers are flexible this is something that this is. all right is for in a spirit official university sponsored event yeah that's not a problem so teachers have to be accommodating was students like tom yeah we have to be able to work work work with them in their schedule we can do that. because at lexington the campus lends itself to sport and the olympic size swimming for a climbing wall of running track the city is also home to the largest basketball stadium in america. to attract the best athletes the university lays out its red carpet.

almost twelve million dollars of scholarship money is shared out every year. but the schedules of the sports students are not restful in the slightest. most students are still sleeping with thomas back at the changing. the world. with a new university term new supplies await him in his locker. room that's always on. your side to. those who think like you few. gifts bearing the acronym of a big sports equipment brand the university's official sponsor. in the more than is . right i just in the form of your. call do i

want to see this new emotion. tom and his eleven team members trained on average for four hours a day coached by fellow frenchman city called. blue dogs. this former professional player has led the kentucky tennis team for the last two years . to strengthen their teams american universities recruit internationally the contract is simple they have to wait for just fucking snow in the future. and the university of kentucky certainly provides the means. here there are almost two hundred people to ensure the welfare of the athletes footballers basketball players tennis players after training that all meet in the state of the art care facility. with a mandatory dip in the high spots. to be. sure

the north is. actually. on american campuses the. fleets are not quite like the other students. every year they bring in about one hundred four million dollars for the university. on the top of the podium american footballers and their indispensable cheerleaders. nineteen times university champion the kentucky team holds the most titles in the history of the united states and flexible agile here cheerleaders are reluctant. curie is twenty two years old she's one of the team captains. like tom no school fees are completely covered so this young woman likes to get things right. today is official photo day these photos will grace the posters on the calendars

for the upcoming season. there for wants to look perfect so you're actually the image of the school we are we are us along with the wildcat so the mask there's a lot of pressure of course it is but you get used to it you know like the first time i went out on that football field it was terrifying but because they never. change it for the world. a little girl's dream becomes a reality but it's also a job under intense scrutiny that we have to really really watch and even our coaches watch what we. like tweet and facebook and what we posted. but then all the makes our lives if it's something that you wouldn't want your grandma to see then don't post it that's the best way that there is right now i know some people at some crazy grandmas but we know what it really means. and

so this means that cheerleaders are representing the american campuses twenty four hours a day and they're not allowed to make mistakes i think it's a serious. to. always something you'd be surprised. if you were watching around and playing around or getting e-mail about it. his reaction to it never fails. to not just the here right here. catch up. here always project the best image of yourself so as to not tarnish the university's reputation and that's even sure of the mascot they also receive the scholarship. this young man refuses to be filmed though not through vanity but because his contract requires him to remain anonymous. like a disney character he's not allowed to talk his job is to keep people guessing. this is you just me there's all those emotions. it's all.
