taught it should be acknowledged and it should be there open for discussion but the for the teacher the sense of. this is art international coming to you from the russian capital with your live news update welcome to the program it's been a year since the iraqi city of mosul was fully liberated from islamic state the city had been the terror group's de facto capital in the country for nearly three years. visited the city and spoke to a local resident. there are two bodies still down there and there are food move bodies in that house behind us there's still inside the stench coming from them is very strong your children are getting sicker because of this. message said in a fog there was six of us why daughter was killed lived in that house after the

airstrikes i just couldn't save there anymore. i don't know them. they said we're not going to treat her priority is the finances we can give her an injection so she dies immediately but of her to die at home the u.s. led coalition air strikes left the city of mosul in ruins and one year on that still remains devastated here's a look back at how the battle of mosul unfolded. iraqi security forces launch a counterattack to liberate mosul from isis also known as stage. this operation to regain control of iraq's second largest city will likely continue for weeks possibly longer. term.

concern for the safety ropes of one point five million people living in mosul who may be impacted by military or bridges to retake the city for once. i think operation it's on track hopeful that we need to put the city put it to be. you cannot just fire a type people everybody in the city you have to be very careful john of a half what john i mean it couldn't be at the gnomon of the satellite magnitude and the mastermind amount of the people who. magically have the most this is

a classic street in the liberated parts of mosul lifeless devastated it all spittle empty. calculus bodies very all this rubble and no one knows how long it'll take to get to all of the war rubble the buildings and even that it's mixed with unexploded bombs and decaying bodies molotov. because. she should. get up and. pull you out of teaching or a fact of life if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at

a price and avoidable part of war. we spoke to the middle east operations manager for doctors without borders he says people are returning to find death everywhere in their city i think it will be unfair to say that nothing has changed but what we what we call 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 those bills haven't been reopened yet there's a lack of one third there's a lack of electricity going back and potentially finding their bodies in your house in your street i mean that's that's a sex orgy is very dangerous stating because once again you're confronted to it's always horrible things that happen in the most you increasing number of people return but there's no access to health care there's no for example emergency room

physician or surgical facilities there's not enough hospital beds and yet there are still people that are good wounded from. collapsing houses 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 most of them were killed when the u.s. led coalition bombed the area firing narry nearly thirty thousand artillery rounds and launching thousands of air strikes during the course of a few months it goes on that 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 well executed the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing i don't know where are the birds they were buried by my uncle now we're looking for the uncle to call to find them juries have bodies or civilians mostly women and children and what's in was 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 to the middle of the yard and soon as we just rely on basic information families help us identify the civilians we identify a lot of bodies from 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 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 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 you know 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 most that definitely can wash out of that we were directly targeted by the coalition there recognizance craft filmed us it was a low altitude it was very clear there were no terrorists in your 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 is a force for as much targets everyone it is not hidden i think the coalition is bones randomly if you're sitting at home a bomb may come down on you there are houses that collapsed on those residents and they couldn't get out only because of the aircraft the city decayed bodies decomposed there's even no estimates on how many more months graves are still to be

found houses of people who were killed your. city. maybe were buried has to leave but also many remain in the rubble or at least in mass graves each one has to be dozens to hundreds of bodies of ministry 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. examinations because the mines around there it is clear from what we have seen on the ground that they are working to exhibit but it's 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 fighting 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 presence micron important agreed to the joint project earlier this summer that includes medical supplies and other necessities for civilians in the city of duma near the capital of damascus. 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 there have been fears of all out confrontation as artie's posts lawyer explains there isn't 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 a hamas spokesperson who says that they have agreed to return to. 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 a friday deadline given by israel to have nuts in which it said that all awesome kites that will flow into israel have to cease hail and wind which is quite interesting is that the action is what nearly would tell you and it holds hamas responsible the idea of today's. activity is treated by hamas throughout the last month with great severity hamas choose to the security situation a move the consequences for its actions last night's strikes were the worst we've seen. as an effort to move 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. heavy israeli air strike only one week we are hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that he will continue to strike back at home us during the summer we hit hard our policy is clear when anyone seeks to

hamas 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 to the united nations brokered both cease fires and what we have heard from the united nations is that a massive of the scale war was averted tensions on the ground however the main tense people are an easing and the question of course is if and when will be another showdown when i ask people here the question most people believe they will be a showdown is just a question of when political commentator amir oren and the former director of a palestinian civil rights organization most of the 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 has not happened because of his role has used force. to the contrary israel

only reacted and israel tried to keep the entire border quiet if he's not the in its interest to try and repel. number out of but the scene and will show did the from that you to sort of does with out on it then just. from him to there is a way to sort it just that is saying slogans and that is the voice is asking the international community to push up those right to end that she'd get of movement and can look at this through the visteon at the live as not but people. you might be and live in the. coming up in the program students at a university in england remove a poem from a campus building describing off the record kipling as a racist the details on that story more after a quick break. join

me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. just like the comparison to the came braces versus the u.s. policies or some local trade dollar trump goes to the global trading environment with the ability to leverage america's got a leverage in that economy you can reshape the global economy even when 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 they completely misstated or misunderstood their it's the equation between the u.k. and the e.u. when it comes to business and.

welcome back home 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 presence in india and dehumanised people of color a verse from civil rights activist maya angelou still highrise 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 not

the way you do it to say so you just are still very. much 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 vandalize something that's really bad to me in any case i don't agree with the facing i think there are other ways of protest from 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 in its period is significant in its own right. 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 did do in the past i don't think that we should disregard the most people that watch this because of an opinion they have the actually i think there been many great artists also in this museum been fired missile to mistake and fly is problematic people in

their private clothes 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 they're open for discussion but the for the each of these essential. kipling is of course not the only author whose work has been criticized recently here are a few of that low. the western material achievement and progress made no gender on their own it's leader 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 in the jews to your empire and you yourselves out judah jew and the big jew has received every nation his word . after the white house announced its inviting president putin to washington the media is still trying to come to terms with donald trump style of diplomacy breaks down what's being 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 should. come from nord one of the rules of diplomacy on his whistle stop tour of europe went off piste and told the truth where 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 oh so loony in someone's face but nicely uses a method not found in any textbook he softened up opponents and allies with a stream of clearly. provoke finishing the most with a laser guided through that last one that's the latest in a terrorism 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 did 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 well the ones on dealing with all the time about his then trump wanted him to face in

helsinki and mainstream america exploded let me see their guys come on it's not a cold war anymore no one was called a traitor and he's a disgrace who apparently caused in doubt on the conclusion by the american intelligence services that russia meddled in the us elections. and m.p.'s are a disgrace. he said the air was wrong. the day aloft of those. he said he actually meant to say the exact opposite donald's desperate backtracking with the fast sign of genuine diplomacy he chose i'm not sure if trump brought in the president simply said he suggested the world's two largest nuclear powers should try to get along. and mr president do you know nothing. trumps diplomacy also drew tension during the recent
