as arch international bringing you your live news update with me welcome to the program. after a recent spike in violence on the gaza border militant group hamas says it has agreed to a cease fire with israel violence escalated after an israeli soldier was killed that prompted a series of airstrikes on hamas positions and there have been fears of an all out confrontation as. explains. there is an easy calm that has descended along the israel gaza border that ceasefire went into effect at midnight and we have heard from the israeli army that civilians who live along the israel gaza border can return to normal routine we're hearing the same message from hamas folks person who says that they have agreed to return to the era of calm between israel and the palestinian factions it follows a night of heavy air strikes conducted by the israeli air force over gaza they say

they hit some sixty targets while at the same time three projectiles were fired at israel by palestinian militants and israeli combat soldier was killed by a palestinian sniper and a friday deadline given by israel to her months in which it said that all awesome kites that were flown into israel had to cease came and went with those kites israel says that its actions would merely retaliate and it holds hamas responsible the i.d.f. used today's it's like activity is treated by hamas throughout the last month with great severity hamas choose to the security situation and move the consequences for its actions last night strikes were the worst we've seen since two thousand and fourteen really between israel and hamas in that war more than two thousand palestinians were killed and seventy three israelis now there was an israeli air strike a heavy israeli air strike earlier in the week we are hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that he will continue to strike back at her masts

during the sabbath we hit hard our policy is clear when anyone seeks to harm us we will strike back with great force this is just the second ceasefire in some six days so of course the question is then asked whether or not it will hold egypt in the united nations brokered both cease fires and what we have heard from the united nations is that a massive full scale war was averted tensions on the ground however the main tense people are using and the question of course is if and when will be another showdown when i ask people here their question most people believe there will be a showdown is just a question of when. friday saw israel's first casualty in the almost four months of protests on the gaza border four palestinians were also killed and more than one hundred twenty injured on the same day the total number of those killed since the start of the great march of return protests is no more than one hundred thirty gaza based journalist reports from the border.

nearly one hundred fifty meters away from carney the fence and as you see the palestinian youths protesters are describing and expressing expressing their rage by climbing this funds. i have to say that this is one of the hardest days we have been covering the protests on weekly basis floor blewitt been five months we saw explosions on both sides scores were injured it's very dangerous and this was one of the tough race days we have ever witnessed by live ammunition here guys airstrikes and a lot in a lot of more weapons the israelis have been using against the palestinians political commentator amir or and the former director of

a post and civil rights organization most in opera ramadan share their views on the recent conflict. hundreds of palestinians if you accumulate the numbers have either died or been injured at the demonstrations but this is not happened because israel has used force. to the contrary israel only reacted and israel tried to keep the entire border quiet it is not in its interest to try and repel. a number of but the scene and war show did differ on that is that you just sort of does without any dangerous care from them to theirs or you to search they're just financing slogans and they're saying the voices and asking the international community that over to brush up to the end that she'd get to freedom of movement and come out at the start of the scene at the live as not but people.

you might be and live in. and. it's now been a year since they are actually city of mosul was liberated from islamic state the city had been the terror group's de facto capital in the country for nearly three years r.t.s. roughly video agency visited the city. and i think it will be unfair to say that nothing has changed but what we what we called for is that the change should happen more quickly or we see the level of destruction that happened a year ago is still very visible. infrastructure hasn't been repaired yet or spills haven't been reopened yet there's a lack of water there's a lack of electricity. going back and potentially finding their bodies in your house in your street and in that sense. is very dear to stating because once again you're confronted treats all the

horrible things that happened in mosul you know yes there are two bodies still down and there are food. bodies in that house behind us is still inside the stench coming from them is very strong your children are getting sick because of this. message said in a fog there were six of us my daughter was killed we lived in the house after the airstrikes i just couldn't live there anymore. i don't know him. but they said we're not going to treat her priority is the finances we can give her an injection so she dies immediately better for her to die at home.

the horror of war can also be seen in the syrian city of raka the bodies of more than one thousand two hundred civilians the majority of them women and children have been discovered in three mass graves there it's claimed they were killed when the u.s. led coalition bombed the area. as the details. tobar will mark exactly one year since i saw defeat in their caliphate self-proclaimed capital rocker and months after the u.s. coalition's victory restored or freed of torment the syrian city is still not these are the latest pictures from one of three recently discovered mars graves these birrell sites contain more than a thousand bodies. and there are three hundred to four hundred bodies in this mass

grave three to four catacombs are completely full of did bodies grief and despair still has the syrian city reeling as relatives time and time again have to identify their loved ones. excluded the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing i don't know where are the birth as they were burned by my uncle now we're looking for the uncle to call to find them. but the majority of the bodies are civilians mostly women and children our team works twenty four hours a day whether a civilian or a fighter we give the body a number well this number is over a thousand now and that's just to the three recently discovered musgrave's it's a race against time and they're ready to earn their more time passes the harder it is to identify the bodies as they rot in the ground nameless. we don't have any modern tools we just rely on basic information families help us identify the

civilians by telling us what the person was wearing or by describing a ring or watch your tattoo we're done to fight a lot of bodies from hair because it does not disintegrate and mass graves of raka highlight not only ice souls monstrosity but also what rights groups call america's denial in its responsibility for the city's tragedy because it has acknowledged a mere twenty three civilian deaths resulting from the more than thirty third. thousand rounds and several thousand strikes it launched into rock a city the blustery denials a contradicted by the lived reality of the hundreds of civilians there even contradicted by their own partners on the ground looking at these pictures it's hard to see any real recovery from the post-war horror at all it's even difficult to tell them apart and just in case these were taking only a couple of months ago and these are back from two thousand and seventeen u.s.

led forces came pounded the city with some thirty thousand artillery rounds proclaim victory and then washington apparently chose to simply forget rocca the u.s. 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 the mr definitely conversion when we were directly targeted by the coalition after their recognizance craft filmed us it was a low altitude it was very clear there were no terrorists in the area but there were kids playing in the streets and we were collecting water and i knew that of that i knew that if the aircraft bomb using force for us targets everyone it is not hidden i still the coalition is boman brendan lee if you're sitting at home a bomb may come down on you there are houses that collapsed on their residence and they couldn't get out all this happened because of the aircraft the city decayed bodies decomposed there's even no estimates on how many more musgrave's are still

to be found houses of people who were killed during the battle to retake the city. maybe were buried has to leave but also many remain in the rubble or at least in mass graves each one has to dozens to hundreds of bodies in this group who are too big such as to beaches but that's what we know tories are struggling to cope with the logistical challenges because there are many of the gated to die. examinations because the mines around there it is clear from what we have seen on the ground that they are working to exhibit bodies need far more creating a technical assistance but until someone says the pleas of russia citizens they must live amid rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh. radio liberty a media outlet funded by the u.s. government has placed an advertisement on facebook but it was quickly noted that the outlet is prohibited from placing ads that target a u.s.

audience and breaks it down for us. now it turns out that one news outlet has been forced to remove its political ads from facebook was the u.s. government's own radio free europe aka radio liberty here's an extract from their mission statement which of course you can find on their web site which ends in dot . a mission is to promote democratic values and institutions by reporting the news in countries where free press is banned by the government not fully established journalists provide what many people cannot get locally on since that news responsible discussion an open debate perhaps they consider the united states to be one of those countries that doesn't have a free press after all the ads were specifically targeted at americans now facebook says the ads were not political which is rather interesting as they were specifically related to recent controversies regarding trump and in nato. sixty one

percent of the surveyed population in twelve countries view nato favorably it's actually illegal for federally funded news outlets under the umbrella of the broadcast board of governors to direct their content at an american audience the only exception is by special request and there was none in the case of radio liberty after new york times journalists raised a red flag the board of governors deleted the ads none of the b.b. g. now where should be distributing or promoting our content massacree in order to develop or grew domestic audiences but why would facebook allow ads about nato to begin with this is just after facebook has imposed strict rules regarding commercials with political content in the united states r.t. materials frequently banned and that even when it's not directed an american audience. and issue ads on facebook and instagram in the u.s.

must be clearly labeled including a paid for by disclosure from the advertiser at the top of the ad it turns out that the rules about what constitutes a political ad are pretty big as far as facebook is concerned any r.t. news related to the usa is a political advert meanwhile a commercial specifically talking about how everyone loves nato is not now russian scholar shonda laurie recently tried to promote in an interview about his recently published compendium of coverage of donald trump from russian magazines and newspapers face book shut him down for his book one to prove my it for the sport cost apparently what the russian press thinks of trump is dangerous information there's a double standard if you want to break the rules to help defend freedom ok which is which is really not possible it's illogical they've constantly lived in

this state of the false reality where. it's ok to propagandize and to blanket the rest of the world with a cia funded message but it's not ok for russia to finance or to partially even finance a great television network that's competitive with the b.b.c. for news now from a should why is that not ok all this talk about fake news and propaganda has put the us political establishment and tech giants like facebook in a pretty difficult spot basically they've been reduced to saying we can't promote it if we don't agree with it. r.t. new york. both facebook and the broadcasting board of governors are yet to comment on the situation we will update you on the response as soon as we get it coming up in the program students at a university in england remove a poem from a campus building describing author rudyard kipling as a racist the details on that story and more after

a quick break. just like the comparison to the u.k. embrace of versus the u.s. policies russia's blowhole trade so dollar trump goes to the global trading environment and with the ability to leverage america's got a leverage in that economy and you can reshape the global economy. went against the e.u. with no leverage they have a zero leverage against the e.u. therefore they've lost tragically against you and their colleagues being marginalized and isolated as a result of it they completely misstated our misunderstood there at the equation between the u.k. and the e.u. when it comes to business and trade. would hope to. be put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be preached. to going to be the

first to see what was before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. course. this is our two international welcome back to the program after the white house announced it's inviting president putin to washington the media is still trying to come to terms with donald trump style of diplomacy only boyko breaks down what's been dubbed the worst week for trump's foreign policy. the u.s. president has upset everyone because she's missed it doesn't do claim to see like this was. true for north one of the rules of diplomacy on his whistle stop tour of europe went off piste and told the truth don't worry you threw in a friend who used to it was an astonishing performance he managed to piss european

allies and then in the interests of equality he desired citizens to diplomacy is the. someone's face but nicely uses a method not found in any text reg he so opponents and allies with a stream of clearly. has no snitching the most with a laser going did through that last one and that's the latest in a terrorism for us to take a truthful here's the e.u. and sticking washington with the bill of defending europe well nato members didn't like hearing that said out loud you see they prefer diplomatically considered criticism which they can diplomatically ignore next the diplomatic headed to britain where trumpeted already in the nation in and runs by suggesting that the u.k. was in a spot of bragg's it in joost political turmoil. he politicians crying well

the ones on dealing with all the turmoil that is then trump wanted and face to face in helsinki and a mainstream america exploded let me see those guys come on it's not the cold war anymore but one was called a traitor and he's just great for apparently costing doubt on the conclusion by the american intelligence services that russia meddled in the us elections. and m.p.'s a disgrace. he said the air was wrong. the day aloft in. he says he actually meant to say the exact opposite donald's desperate backtracking was the first sign of genuine diplomacy he saw not truth but did drop in the presence of he said he suggested the world's two largest nuclear powers should try to get along told mr president do you know nothing.

trumps diplomacy also drew attention during the recent korean nuclear crisis or to use going underground spoke to a musician who last month played at the festival in the demilitarized zone between the two koreas when matlock former member of punk rock band the sex pistols. he played at the demilitarized yeah i'm amongst a bunch of overpaid was others just going to govern our very best musician to try and charter some solidarity through our anger and cousins out of it i come out and and i think very the whole thing had become a bit of a core bar offered the guy no for the found himself you know despicable desperately his boss and he found himself painted into a corner not really understandable and i think anything that can be done to open the door a change you know k'naan about how it was this before would signal be used to this thing before everything happened with

a meeting with steve so instant yeah and there's a whole bunch of paper involved and it seems just trying to bring some awareness to what i want to go and find out for myself i've never been to korea before and consequently. i couldn't know the. merest so who's since become the next president they come up on the try in terms to that at the end of. the d.m.z. zone i need to sign how i met him at the station and how he hoped that in a couple of years time if everything goes all right it will become so international stuff from what i was going to work out you said what a light needs to go to work the most on the boat and maybe one day it will even come to her so long to come because i can't imagine that their fences are no career in the pota stop the funny guy and. let them even out on that mad dog thank you. a poem by british writer rudyard kipling has been removed by students at manchester

university in the north west of england they claim the author who is best known for writing the jungle book was racist the poem if that was penned in one thousand and nine was displayed in a newly renovated campus building but was quickly criticised by members of the student union who said they should have been consulted beforehand they say kipling sought to legitimize the british empire as presence in india and dehumanised people of color averse from civil rights activist maya angelou still i rise has now replaced the poem. we asked people in london about the students' initiative. this is it is a man of his time. and you've got to accept that that was his time today maybe not where you go to say so you just heard story with such free speech on the window if you do a trick question i'm really into it and not kind of thing but i did read that appalled at it vandalism i think that's really bad in any any case and i don't agree with defacing i think there are other ways of protesting your point i think when we're

looking back on history and judging people from the framework but they existed in it's a little bit different i think. everything in its heart and period is significant and as i write. you know we can look at those and different views and attitudes now i think we can learn a little bit from that you know that it was a bad thing to do you know it's not right now but still you know it's people doing the past i don't think that we should disregard the most people that watch because of an opinion they have the actually i think they're in many great artists also in this museum been fired me such a mistake and fly is problematic for people in their private loans but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're it also can mean that so it should be acknowledged and it should be they're open for discussion but the for the it shouldn't be censors. kipling is of course not the only author whose work has been criticized as

of late here are a few of the others. were that western material achievement and progress made no dent on the rounded sleep of china. wants to forgive me for all of my friends without his ever saying anything they were simply a little something shameful between us like this billion open of the horse a symbol fight. there is a trait in the jewish character that does provoke animosity maybe it's a kind of lack of generosity towards non jews hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason. in the jew and the jews roasted your empire and you yourselves out jude the jew and the big jew has rotted every nation is one day too. that's your worldwide news for

dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be all for rich eight point six percent market song thirty percent i just want to secure some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember of one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only food but . that's because there's plenty of survival guide book stacie just like walt to start simply at the federal reserve. he should know there are you going to get him back. oh heck no good says a repatriation team would get the rest in seven years. philip to separate the ties
