back in here like sheep the last month anality crew was filming in the iraqi city of mosul which was liberated from my soul over a year ago as these pictures here show the still little sign of the city returning to normal and while people are being told to return locals who are actually in most all say the author he's themselves are afraid to do so. just how many bodies have you removed since you started working in this area approximately five hundred ok are there any more yes in houses and on their odds whereas you're not and i challenge any member of parliament to live in the conditions we are currently living in here i bet they are even afraid of entering this area they have no idea how horrible the smell is or how critical the medical situation is this. we haven't received any kind of aid since things finished in seven months ago on one occasion did they receive a small box of food no coupons no food nothing. melanie markham from the norwegian

refugee council who worked on the report so as refugees fear traps and violent reprisals if indeed they do return home there's a number of dangers i think one of the largest threats is that of unexploded bombs unexploded mortars and baby traps and in fact we heard one report of a family who returned home only to find their house may be trapped and it killed a family member some of the other things that make it unsafe for papal violence from the community around them people who even suspected of having links with isis particularly vulnerable that other people under the threat of violence by. members of their own tribal communities so there are a number of reasons why it's unsafe still unsafe for people to return home and. facebook has not found any additional signs that russia would link to defeat in the case of brecht's vote after a renewed effort on earth some proof the company sent
7:32 am
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 some details here with r.t. yes you certainly are. 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 bragg's that referendum now mr
7:33 am
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 has 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 suspects it's not research agency linked accounts it's forty nine such accounts were active during the campaign which represents less than not point five percent of the total number of accounts these are very low level things ajman 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
7:34 am
a very simple message for russia we know what you are doing and you will not succeed so all in all three really frustrating for those. you have been attempting to find a link between russia and the briggs it referendum and the matter how hard you try you just can't find something that isn't there. north already circulated a brochure among kindergarten stuff that focuses on such issues as transgender identity and same sex marriage a booklet designed to help teachers explain these sensitive topics to children and certainly has sparked some controversy a peter oliver explains. is a city famed for its liberal and inclusive attitudes to sex and sexuality.
7:35 am
but conservatives in the german capital are upset at a new guide for kindergarten teachers that they say goes into too much detail and is 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 families 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
7:36 am
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 all gender conditions or not gender or sexuality is an older stuff i don't think it's the right age i think when they. receive sex. education in school that's enough i think there's thinking on the one hand i think it's ok but on the other i don't get on
7:37 am
very much in favor of that idea so yes i do and why i think it's important factor 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 really prudish and unwilling to discuss the issue. after their attempt to scandalize the handouts on sexual and 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 a. germany's dark nazi past still troubles the country

feeling to know that there's a cloth with. a story like this. and this bell has been here for some time and now someone wants to get rid of it. do anyone harm or i think there are more terrible things to pay attention to. the news continues and just about. just manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the final merry go round
7:40 am
be the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. if anyone thinks that for the sake of joining the european union serbia would recognize kosovo under the conditions that they impose right now and not on the basis of what the dialogue compromise very wrong once a compromise but the solution proposed by cost of all the indians is not the real solution. good to have you with us today washington is seeking access to data stored in other
7:41 am
countries a case between the american government and microsoft is currently being heard by the us supreme court the issue started five years ago when microsoft refused to hand e-mails related to a drug trafficking investigation over to the author of he's it claimed the data was stored on servers in ireland where u.s. law has no jurisdiction but washington argues that the tech giant is obliged to share the data as it's an american company microsoft however says the credibility of all companies is now at stake. the reality is that people will not use technology they do not trust we need to sustain their trust and part of sustaining their trust is giving people confidence that their legal rights under their legal systems will in fact be respected including by the united states or put the issue up for debate with a political activist george baba and security consultant us. government needs to take a stronger role in monitoring certain activity on the internet and in social media
7:42 am
if we are going to try try to stay in line and somewhat ahead if we can with groups such as isis al shabaab boca hogan that are using the internet and are using social media as a high way of transporting information to plan and execute terrorist attacks so it's a matter of creating a balance there are many sort of covert means of communicating effectively online if you want to that wouldn't be touched by this judgment in the particular case the issue the irish government has been very clear would have it had there been a request from the justice department for the information that is stored on these servers in ireland they would absolutely have responded by releasing that by releasing that data as we know from the revelations of edward snowden and another is there are huge questions to be asked in terms of the legitimacy and of of u.s. snooping and the interest of beings and certainly is
7:43 am
a political activist that has genuine cause to fear governments essentially using internet spying to undermine effective democratic dissent i think this is a really important issue that that needs to be kept at the forefront of the discussion it's important to understand that what we're looking to do with this is not to have complete unfettered as i said before access to the internet but enough access so that there are key words phrases documents pictures etc that will be used for algorithmically to detect issues in instances preemptively that law enforcement that military that government can intervene on it's not a carte blanche decision to say ok now you have complete access to to the internet to social media debates or it's raising generally significant points about when it's appropriate for law enforcement to be able to access information but i. i think there are there are very large questions going forward in that the internet
7:44 am
offers possibilities for snooping on virtually every single aspect of anybody's interaction with any other individual on the planet and any decision that essentially opens the floodgates into a sort of free for all why governments on the basis of the idea that they're doing something worthwhile can look at anything they want i think raises huge problems. following the florida school massacre the debate over gun control in the u.s. has come to a head with both sides of the divide resorting to unconventional methods to get their message across among the latest examples of church in the u.s. state of pennsylvania held a somewhat unorthodox wedding ceremony entire congregation there to the teeth with pistols and semiautomatic rifles so the display of weapons was meant to show their willingness to defend their families and their right to carry guns however other gun owners are apparently falling out of love with their barrels and are actually destroying them on camera. and decided today. i'm going to make sure this will
