1:06 pm
spills haven't been reopened yes there's a lack of water and 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 george appears very dangerous stating because once again you're confronted to it's all these horrible things that happened in mosul increasing number of people return but there's no access to health care there's no. emergency rooms there's not enough 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 herat the bodies are more than twelve 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 firing nearly thirty thousand artillery rounds and
1:07 pm
launching potions of verse strikes during the course of a few months. off brings us this report. 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 mass graves these birrell 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 dude bodies grief and despair still has the syrian city reeling as relatives time and time again have to identify their loved ones excavated the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing and. they were buried by my uncle and i were looking for the uncle who

called 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 now and that's just to the three recently discovered mass graves took a little bit of the modern tools we just rely on basic information families help us identify the civilians we identify a lot of bodies from where because it doesn't disintegrate it's a race against time and they're rigged one they're more time passes the harder it is to ident. 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
1:09 pm
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 burton of second version of we were directly targeted by the coalition of the recognizance craft filmed us it was a low altitude it was very clear there were no terrorists in the area but there
1:10 pm
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 phosphorus targets everyone it is not hidden i still the coalition is gone and randomly 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. many were buried has to leave but also many remain in the rubble are at least nine mass graves each one has to move it to have dozens to hundreds of bodies and it was really 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 suffocated to conduct examinations because they are led to mines around there it is clear from what we
1:11 pm
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 ruckus citizens they must live amid rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh. after a recent spike in violence on the girl's a border islamist militant group hamas sees it has agreed to a cease fire with israel violence escalated after an israeli soldier was killed prompted a series of ur strikes on hamas positions leading to fears of all out confrontation paula slayer 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 hearing the same message from her must go to her so he says that
1:12 pm
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 harass 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 were merely and it holds her last responsible the idea of use to do the whole store 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's strikes were the worst we've seen since two thousand and fourteen where between israel and hamas in that war more than two thousand palestinians were killed and seventy three israelis now there was an israeli
1:13 pm
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 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 cease. in some six days so of course the question is then asked whether or not it will hold egypt and the united nations broken though 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 there will be a showdown is just a question of when you know there's been lots of reaction as you might expect we got our own from political commentator near or in the former director of a palestinian civil rights organization monson. hundreds of
1:14 pm
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 if he's not in its interest to try and rebuild. 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 theirs or you just heard they're just getting their slogans and that is the voice is asking the international community. to end the seed. of movement and what it is to that it is to live as normal people. human being and live in. a media i clicked funded by the u.s.
1:15 pm
government has the lead of a series of violence placed on facebook which targeted american audiences it comes after revealing liberty was outed for potentially violating u.s. laws meant to shield citizens from domestic propaganda picking up the story this hour. 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
1:16 pm
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 yes none of the b.b.c. now were should be distributing or promoting our content massacree in order to develop or grow domestic audiences but why would facebook allow ads about nato to begin with this is just after facebook has imposed strict rules regarding
1:17 pm
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 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 minute for this book cost apparently what the russian press thinks of trump is dangerous information
1:18 pm
there's a double standard if you want to break the rules to help in freedom ok which is which is really not possible logical 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 mufon r.t. new york. well we've asked facebook broadcasting board of governors to comment on the case so far they have chosen to respond. ninety minutes into the program we're
1:19 pm
1:20 pm
to go right to the press this is what. you believe. i'm interested in the law as it. should. let's start back in the u.k. where a porn by british writer ruud yard kipling has been removed by students at the university of manchester they claim the author who's best known for writing the jungle book was racist the poem if penned in one thousand zero nine was the splayed in a newly renovated campus building but was quickly criticized by members of the
1:21 pm
student union who said they should have been consulted beforehand they say kipling sought to quote legitimize the british empire is present in india dehumanize people of color a verse from civil rights activists maya angelou's still. has now replaced the poll 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 but he's going to face it you just go through the. three speeches on the window if you do that's a trick question i'm really into it and not kind of thing but i did read that a portrait is bundle i said nothing that's really bad to me 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 in its period is
1:22 pm
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. not right now but still you know. people doing the past i don't think that we should disregard the most people that watch because of an opinion they have the i actually i think there are many great artists also in this museum been fired me such a mistake and a problem must take people in their private loans but that doesn't necessarily mean that there are these values but it also can mean that it should be acknowledged and it should be there open for discussion but the for the it shouldn't be censored. or kipling is not the only author whose work has been criticised recently to few more examples.
1:23 pm
with the western material achievement and progress made no dent 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 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. lets in the jew and the jews go see your empire and you yourselves and jude the jew and the big jew has rotted every nation is worse. now after the white house announced it is inviting president putin to washington have a media still trying to come to terms with donald trump well style of the poor mistake

1:25 pm
take a truthful here's the e.u. of 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. he politicians 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 that these are guys c'mon it's not a cold war anymore but one was called a traitor and he's a disgrace who apparently caused doubt on the conclusion by the american intelligence services that russia meddled in the us elections are a traitor and m.p.'s are
1:26 pm
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. central byington the power they yield is the focus of today's a boom bust on its next write some through these. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand islands.
