a year after islamic state is run out of the iraqi city of mosul it still remains in ruins we hear from a local resident about life after liberation or two bodies still down there and there are food bodies in that house behind us just still inside the stench coming from them is very strong children are getting sick because of this. a shaky cease fire is restored between hamas militants and israel after violent clashes on the gaza border raising fears of a full blown conflict in the region. and students at a university in england remove a famous poem by british writer rudyard kipling from the campus wall claiming he was a racist who stood against their ideals we asked people in london what they thought about the movie. is

a man of his time. and you've got to accept that that was his time it should be acknowledged and it should be they're open for discussion but the thought of the each of these sends. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for tuning in this hour. 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 parties roughly video agency visit the city and spoke to a local resident. there two bodies still down there and there are four bodies in that house behind us they're still inside the stench coming from them these very strong children they're getting sick because of this.

that message said in a fog there was six of us why daughter was killed and lived in that house after the airstrikes i just couldn't save there anymore. but they said we're not going to treat a dog priorities the fight is we can give her an injection so she dies immediately but have her to die at home. the u.s. led coalition air strikes left the city of mosul in ruins and one year on it still remains devastated here's a look back at how the battle of mosul unfolded. iraqi security forces watch a counterattack to liberate mosul from iceland also known as stage. this operation to regain control of iraq's second largest city will likely continue for weeks

possibly longer. streamlet 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. the operation itself. and we can put the city put it to be. you cannot justify a type of bug everybody in the city you have to be very careful they generally have

well john i mean it couldn't go no monica sadly imad did and the mastermind amount of the people who. might have rights to have this is a classic street in the liberated parts of mosul lifeless devastated it all spittle empty. there is still calculus bodies buried all this rubble and no one. how long it will take to get to one of the war rubble the buildings and even that it's mixed with unexploded bombs and decaying bodies well that's up to. chicago. she should. get to.

two billion cattle keech more a fact of life if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price unavoidable part of war. we spoke to the middle east operations manager for doctors without borders who says people are returning to find death everywhere in the 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 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 i mean that's that's. very disturbing because once again you're

confronted to it's all the horrible things that happened in mosul increasing number of people return but there's no access to it 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 get 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 nearly thirty thousand rounds and launching thousands of air strikes during the course of a few months of 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 burial sites contain more than one 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 but i love it the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing and in honor of the birth as they were buried by my uncle now we're looking for the uncle to cold find them the majority of bodies are civilians mostly women and children and let him work 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 now and that's just to the three recently discovered mass graves took a little bit of 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 on 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 tillery 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 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 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 is in force for as much targets everyone 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 but it always has been because of the aircraft the city

decayed bodies decomposed there's even no estimates on how many movements graves are still to be found houses of people who were killed during the battle to retake the city. maybe were buried as 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 and industry are too big such as to beaches but that's what we know for years 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. for more critical. birds until someone answers the pleas of rocker's citizens they must live a mood rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh. after

a recent spike in violence on the gaza border militant group hamas hamas says it has agreed with you cease fire with israel violence escalated after an israeli soldier was killed that prompted a series of airstrikes on hamas positions there been fears of all out confrontation as artist paul slater 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 the 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 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 kate and wind which are those quite

israel says that the actions were merely tell a tree and it holds hamas responsible the audience is today's it's like the whole store 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 between israel and hamas in that war more than two thousand palestinians were killed and seventy three israelis now there was an israeli airstrike a heavy israeli airstrike earlier in the week we are hearing from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that he will continue to strike back at her mass during the sabbath. 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 and the united

nations broken both through science 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 and the question of course is if and when will be another showdown when i ask people here that question most people believe they will be a showdown is just a question of when political commentator i mean or and the former director of a palestinian civil rights organization most and. share their views on the recent conflict hundreds of palestinians if you were accumulating 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 on the reactor and israel tried to work keep the entire border quiet if he's not in its interest to try and rebuild. a number of but the scene and war show did differ

on that is that you to sort of does without any dangers. from them to that is are you just sort of it just getting. the other voices and asking the international community. to end that she'd get to freedom of movement and what it does to the buddhist you know to live as normal people would. be and live in the. media outlet funded by the u.s. government has deleted a series of ads placed on facebook targeting american audiences it comes after radio liberty was outed for potentially violating u.s. laws meant to shield citizens from domestic propaganda kilmartin picks up a story. 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 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 to 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.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 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 for this book cost apparently one of 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 and information 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 caleb oppen r.t. new york. we have asked facebook and the broadcasting board of governors to comment on the case so far they have not chosen to respond. 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 quick. you know world of big. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever

we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race based on the early dramatic developments are only going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and tom.

welcome back to the program 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 was 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 before him they say kipling sought to legitimize the british empire presence in india and dehumanize people of color a verse from civil rights activist my angelou still i rise has now replaced the poem. we asked people in london about the students' actions. trafton. 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 face so you just put your group of us free speech on the window if you do that's a trick question i'm really into it and not kind of thing but i did treat the

deporter they vandalize that nothing was really bad to me any occasion i don't agree with the facing i think there are other ways of protest to 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 current 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 in the past i don't think that we should disregard them as people or that was because of the pain they have the actually i think there been many great artists also in this museum been fired missile just take and fly 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 it shouldn't be censored. kipling is of course not the only author has been criticised recently for his work here a few examples. where the western material achievement and progress made no demands 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 brilliant 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. let's in the jew and the jews go to your employer

and you yourselves and jew did jew and the big jew has received every nation his woman did. 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 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 does do claim to see like this was a. term from lord one of the rules of diplomacy on his whistle stop tour of europe went off piste and told the truth what were you doing if you used to it was an astonishing performance he managed to piss european allies and then in the interests of equality he has his own citizens to diplomacy is the ruling in someone's face but nicely uses

a method not found in any textbook he sobered up opponents and allies with a stream of clearly. as though finishing the most with a laser going did truth is not just one of them it's the latest in a terrorism for us to take a truth from here's the e.u.'s sticking washington with the bill of defending europe well nato members don'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 accepted the nation in advance by suggesting that the u.k. was in a spot of bragg's it in joost political turmoil. he politicians cried 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 literally there guys come on it's not

a cold war anymore but 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. and m.p.'s are 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 fast sign of genuine diplomacy he chose so much truth bomb did trump a drop in the presence of he said he suggested the world's two largest nuclear powers should try to get a long cold mr president do you know nothing. that's a worldwide news for now but don't forget you can always have to our website or to not com for the details on all of those stories and more thanks for tuning in.

seventy four design submissions. seven cells pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. a russian w.b. a champion of it. and a russian mobster. show you how and why the crimea bridge was built. with those the construction moving you need to transport to reach that will help the heart of crimea. most of those you know while google more familiar with it a bit but it's clear.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't have the numbers overwhelm . the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only boom but. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going foundation let it be an arms race based on often spinning dramatic developments

only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. below i managed to answer this is the kaiser report of the show that there is to go deeper. to max we're back in new york city and we're going to talk about the trade war because of course right across from us used to be the world trade center it is the place where all trade goes through and it's the center of the u.s. global financial empire but china says bully united states started a trade war the united states has started

a trade war and china will defend itself the chinese vice minister of commerce weighing shewan said last week urging the united states to take the gun of terrorists away to smooth the way for talks quote the measures taken are against the interests of china they're against the interests of the united states businesses consumers workers and farmers they are hampering global economic growth they are just a trade bully. you know you've got these global trade organizations that are gamed by china and the u.s. gets a short on the stick so it's up as tearing up the bling board and saying we'll start all over from scratch and that's the right thing to do we're actually have some analysis on that and by the way i just want you to say that if you want to find analysis that confirms what the chinese vice minister of commerce said you can tune into c.n.n. b.b.c. or m s n b c or fox or c.n.n. and there because they're all unanimous that this is a disaster but i'm going to look at some alternative headlines about the other side

of this one from the voter and one from wolf richter who says well maybe this is leveling the playing field and you've got to protect your own economy at home because for example you know the something like twenty six million cars were sold in china twenty five million of them were made in the country because of twenty five percent in. import taxes on cars made overseas so you know if you want to protect your own industrial industry at home you've got to have these but many manufacturing communities feel like they're in a long running trade war one in which for decades america never fired a shot on their behalf and he's talking about a new republic article titled the inevitable death of global trade as we know it because as dan collins has said for many areas on the keiser report that we've had a trade war and the trade in the united states is lost wages in the us go down because of the financialization of the economy which rewards bankers and.
