the there was quite clearly a gap in the international media in the way the different situations have been portrayed when the syrian city of raka and the iraqi city of mosul were being liberated by the u.s. led coalition and a lot of bombing was taking place so we heard u.s. leaders saying making statements to the effect that civilian casualties are just a fact of life civilian casualties or a fact of life in iraq and instead as you can see here in the video the evacuation buses arrived empty a militant positions are located just a few hundred meters from the route the syrian government has distributed leaflets of civilians in the militia can control don't play with detailed information on how to get to the government controlled side professor of political sociology talk aside subject says the groups have been bolstered by outside help so who is playing with fire though one would think that was fun though it was full of i think so. who

in riyadh had promised to reduce civilian casualties human rights watch told us the who the opposition militias are also to blame for some of the civilian deaths. coalition airstrikes continue to be the leading cause of civilian casualties. asterix by the pollution the boston area however difficulties have also a responsibility of the violations. in this crime that shelling in tires and elsewhere the use of banned landmines and the use of chance orders know about the humanitarian situation itself there is an unprecedented cholera epidemic in yemen nearly one million suspected cases of cholera dysentery as a host breeding pretty fast and also. is witnessing one of the walls worst crisis more than seventeen million people who are food insecure and about eight million are on the brink of famine and add on top of this there's very little access to you can return eight. bodies both bodies are blockade and floors and

essential supplies to civilians so the coalition continues to severely restrict the flow for such of supplies. to who to call course and it children who call for sanctions on syria saudi collusion leaders including concerned the crown prince for the rule of relations. facebook has not found any additional signs that russia linked accounts interfered in the u.k. to breakfast vote after a renewed effort to on earth some proof the company sent a letter to the head of the british probe into the matter saying there's no evidence other than the minimal activity already known about. lee has more details . this is actually the second attempt by facebook to investigate and see whether russia was involved in any attempts to try to influence the brig's that referendum in december their investigations found that there were three adverts which were taken out by russian accounts but the budget for those totaled less than one pound

only reached two hundred people so not exactly extensive proof of russian meddling facebook vend went back and investigated again upon the demands of damian collins who's a leading member of parliament here in the u.k. and that's where that letter comes from again saying that there has been no additional evidence of any russian interference in the braggs that referendum now mr collins traveled to the u.s. to try to grill the officials from a number of leading tech companies and again the message was clear that russia hasn't been interfering in the democratic processes there be looked at all advertisements of any connection to russia and we found no evidence of our services being used to interfere in the referendum and a very small number of suspected research agency linked accounts of forty nine such accounts were active during the campaign which represents less than not point five

percent of the title number of accounts these are very low level things now despite those testimonies that runs against what we've been hearing from leading politicians including the prime minister to resign may who insists that russia is up to no good it is seeking to weaponize information deploying its state run media organizations to plant fake stories and photo shopped images in an attempt to sow discord in the west and undermine our institutions so i have a very simple message for russia we know what you are doing and you will not succeed so all in all thought really frustrating for those. you have been attempting to find a link between russia and the briggs that referendum and that matter how hard you try you just can't find something that isn't there. it isn't the only case of course in which russia has been accused of meddling similar charges were being made about last year's catalan independence referendum in spain and one local center

asked the spanish government to back up the claims but was left disappointed he told us why. a minister that was caused by the spanish defense minister's statement made on january sixth we decided to send an inquiry to the government for them to specify the cases of meddling which are obvious cording to the minister however there is no stretch to the ensure that we received yesterday due to that fact we think that the target is to blame external enemy for all possible internal problems since the answer has not been received in statutory terms the government will have to answer a verbal leak to the parliamentary committee of defense when it is convenient. germany's dark nazi past still troubles the country though apparently less in some parts a small village near frankfurt has been thrust into the spotlight after decided to retain a nazi symbol. i

a sad didn't do anyone harm i think there are more terrible things to pay attention to. but little authorities have circulated a brochure among kindergarten stuff that focuses on such issues as trans gender identity and same sex marriage the booklet designed to help teachers explain these sensitive topics to children has certainly sparked some controversy. picks up the story. is a city famed for its liberal i think the tubes to sex and sexuality. but conservatives in the german capital are upset that a new kindergarten teaches that they say goes into too much detail and. aimed at

kids that are too young the idea is to give educators the information they need to be sensitive to children coming from non-binary family say children that have same sex parents or transgender parents it doesn't have the most catchy of names but what it has done is certainly ruffle some feathers among those in angela merkel's c.d.u. party children should be allowed to be children and not be confronted with things like these it's also come in for criticism from the opposition alternative for germany party well it's very simple we believe sex education is important and of course our young adults should know about sex family planning and all the rest but please not in the kindergarten give them some space let them be children don't force this issue onto them it's not even a problem for them they want to play around they want to discover the world so please let them be children leave them alone these subjects will come to them soon

enough in school or at home when the parents talk about this but not of an age of five or six years that is far too early on the streets of berlin opinion is mixed on when is the right time to be discussing with children issues of sexuality do you think that children in kindergarten should be taught about same sex couples and about transgender people yes i think yes. because it's so normal nowadays. to be with people surrounded by people in knowledge and their conditions are not gender or sexuality is not a stuff i don't think it's the right thing when they. receive sex. education in school that's enough i think it has its thinking on the one hand i do think it's ok to engage on the other guy doesn't it does i'm very much in favor of that idea so yes i do and why i think it's important structure of life. so i think

children should be taught about all factors of life and this is one of them the left wing coalition of the social democrats greens and the left party that runs in city government are accusing those on the right wing of politics at the overly prudish and unwilling to discuss the issue. after their attempt to scandalize the handouts from section on gender diversity for teachers didn't work the c.d.u. would prefer not to talk about the issue there's very little chance of the early in city government repealing this booklet however discussions sex and sexuality and talking about it in kindergarten are set to continue in fact there's a petition going round the house already almost fifty thousand signatures from those who want to see this particular booklet stopped peter all of. our still to come on the program hear what r.t. the russian president is going to give his annual federal assembly address today details with. after the break. it's.
