very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our th here in moscow thanks for tuning in. after a recent spike in violence on the gaza border a 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 there have been fears of all out confrontation as artist 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 have nuts 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 tell a tree 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 chose to the security situation and moved to 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 most

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 broken 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 show. don when i ask people have a question most people believe they will be a showdown is just a question of when. for i saw israel's first consul due 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 return protest is no more than one hundred thirty gaza based journalist inquiry reports from the border.

up there. 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 fence. i have to say that this is one of the hardest days we have been covering. the protests on we keep bases for blewitt than five months we saw explosions on both sides scores were injured it's very dangerous and this was one of the to face days we have ever witnessed by live ammunition here guys airstrikes and a lot to know lots of more weapons the israelis have been using against the palestinians political commentator amir oren and the former director of

a palestinian civil rights organization most in up over 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 repair hundred. number of but the scene and war show did differ on that is that you the sort of does without any dangerous. from them to that is are you disorders they are just reading slogans and. voices and asking the international community at over to brush up to israel to intercede and get to free them of movement and promote it as to the for the senior to live as not people. in the human being and live in the. it's now been

a year since the iraqi 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. iraqi security forces launch a counterattack to liberate mosul from eisel also known as day. this operation to regain control of iraq's second largest city will likely continue for weeks possibly longer. to. a mixed really concern for the safety ropes of one point five million people living in mosul who may be impacted by military operations to retake the city from.

i think the operation itself hopeful that we need to put the city before that to be . you cannot just fire at everybody everybody in the city you have to be very careful john of a have with janet adamy it could go no monica sadly the magazine and the master mind imagine the people who. might that writes to the house this is a classic street in the liberated parts of mosul lifeless devastated it hospitable empty. there are still calculus bodies buried under all this rubble and no one knows how

long it'll take to get to war rubble the buildings and even that it's mixed with unexploded bombs and decaying bodies. she got it. she should. get to. two billion cattle teach for a fact of life if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price that's unavoidable part of the war. the horrors of war can also be seen in the syrian city of raka the bodies of more than twelve 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 your style of has 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 burial sites contain more than a thousand bodies there are three hundred to four hundred bodies in this mass grave grew 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 who are excluded the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing i don't know where are the birds as they were buried by my uncle now

we're looking for the uncle to call to find them the majority of bodies are civilians mostly women and children and what's even worse twenty four hours a day whether it's a civilian or a fighter we give the body a number well this number is over a thousand down and that's just in the three recently discovered mass graves of middle of the of the modern tools we just rely on basic information families help us identify the civilians we identify a lot of bodies from here because it doesn't disintegrate 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 and mass graves of raka highlight not only i solved monstrosity but also what rights groups call america's denial in its responsibility for the city's tragedy the coalition has acknowledged a mere twenty three civilian deaths resulting from the more than thirty thousand

artillery rounds and third rule 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 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 over. 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 there was that an effect in washington we were directly targeted by the coalition after the 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 it 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 off 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 have dozens to hundreds of bodies and industry hard to make such as to beaches but that's what we know who authorities are struggling to cope with the logistical challenges because there are many stuff that catered to conduct examinations because the mines around there it is clear from what we have seen on the ground that the teams that are working to exhibit bodies need far more creating a technical assistance but until someone answers the pleas of ruckus citizens they

must live amid rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh. despite the finding being mostly over the humanitarian situation in syria is still dire france and russia have joined forces to get more aid into the country forty four tons of humanitarian cargo arrived there on saturday after presidents mccrone and putin agreed to the joint project earlier this summer that includes medical supplies and other necessities for civilians in the city of duma you know the capital damascus. radio liberty a media outlet funded by the us government has placed an advertisement on facebook and it was quickly noted that the outlet is prohibited from placing ads that target a u.s. audience explains 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 gov. 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 it's news responsible discussion and 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 to nato. sixty one percent of the surveyed population in twelve countries view nato to 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.c. now were 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's even when it's not directed at 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 this book 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 a 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 hey look often our t. new york. both facebook and the broadcasting board of governors are yet to comment on the situation we'll 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 red haired kipling as a racist the details on that story and more after a quick break. it's. a. bang.

bang. but politicians do something. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure more some want to be rich. it's a joy to be prosperous what the forecast for you in the morning can't be good for. the interest of always in the waters of our. first sit. still.

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 or berger 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 from lord 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 you tube 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 years as a method not found in any text reg he still says opponents and allies with

a stream of clearly obvious as well finishing the most with a laser guided through that last one that's a much neater reason for us to take a truthful here's the e.u.'s 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 advance by suggesting that the u.k. was in a spot of bragg's it in joost political turmoil dad he politicians cried well the ones on dealing with all the turmoil that is then trump hinted and face to face in helsinki and a mainstream america exploded let me see those guys come on it's not a cold war anymore no one was called a traitor and he's

a disgrace for. any cause to doubt on the conclusion by the american intelligence services that russia meddled in the us elections a traitor and m.p.'s are a disgrace. he said the ad was wrong. the day aloft and though he said 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 trump a drop in the presence of who said he suggested the world's two largest nuclear powers should try to get a long cold mr president do you know nothing. trumps diplomacy also drew attention during the recent korean nuclear crisis is going underground spoke to a musician who last month played at the festival in the do you militarized zone between the two koreas when matlock a former member of punk rock band the sex pistols. he played at the demilitarised

yeah i'm upon amongst a bunch of uptight was over just got a guy in our very best musician to try and for some solidarity through my cousins i would have to come out and i think the whole thing had become a bit of a crowbar offered the guy i know for 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 a door or a chain 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 instead yeah and there's a whole bunch of paper involved things 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 didn't know the. merest so who's since

become the next president they come up on the trying interests of the day and said so in 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 star from what i was going to work out useable to live used to go to work the most on on the boat and maybe one day it will even come for so long to come because i can't imagine that there france's renaud of career in the photo stop the funny guy . but then even i doubt that mad dog thank you. a poem by british writer rudyard kipling has been removed by students at manchester university and 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 nine was displayed in a newly renovated campus building but was quickly criticized by members of the student union who said they should have been consulted beforehand they say kipling sought to legitimize the british empire presence in india and dehumanize people of

color a verse from civil rights activist maya angelou still i rise has now replaced the poem. we asked people in london about the students' actions. this is it is a man of his time. and you've got to accept that that was his time today maybe don't really do it if they see just a story with a touch of free speech on the window if you do that's a trick question i'm really into it and not kind of thing but to treat the deported if nothing else really bother me in any case and i don't agree with the facing 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 that they existed in it's a little bit different i think. everything it's hard period is significant and as i write. you know we can look at those in 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 all that was because of the pm may have the actually i think there been many great artists also in this museum been fired me such a mistake and fly problem must take people in their private loans but that doesn't necessarily mean that there are going to be that values but it also can mean that so it should be acknowledged and it should be there open for discussion but the for the it shouldn't be essential. kipling is of course not the only author whose work has been criticised recently here's a few. that western material achievement and progress made no gent on the rounded sleeve 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. lets in the jew and the jews your empire and you yourselves out jude the jew and the big jew has rotted every nation is one day too. that's a worldwide news for now but don't forget you can always had to our website our to dot com and the details on all of those stories and more thanks for tuning in.

interest rates i'm not saying that i agree with it and i don't really say that i must tell you i don't. i'm not thrilled because you know we go up and every time you go up they want to raise rates again and i don't really i am not happy about it but at the same time i'm letting them do what they feel is best. and despite that nod to the fed's independence at the end of mr trump's comments there today he criticized the fed again on twitter complaining that quote the us is raising rates while the dollar gets stronger and stronger with each passing day taking away our big competitive advantage the fed is slowly raised to rate since late two thousand and fifteen interest higher.
