a famous poem by british writer ruth yard kipling from a campus wall i mean he was a racist against their ideals people in london. 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 there open for discussion but the fact that it shouldn't be. joining us from right to a run the world this hour you're very welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my names you know neil good to have your company our top story it's been a year since the iraqi city of mosul was fully liberated from islamic state the city had been the terror group defacto capital in the country for almost three r.t.s. ripley news agency v. did the city and spoke to

a local resident. there are two bodies still down there and there are four more bodies in that house behind us is still inside the stench coming from them is very strong and your children are getting sick because of this. message they're setting up there was six of us my daughter was killed i lived in that house after the airstrikes i just couldn't have there any more. i don't know them. but they said we're not going to treat her priority is the fight is we can give her an injection so she dies immediately but have her to die at home . u.s. led coalition air strikes left the city by my uncle now we're looking for the uncle

who called to find them the majority of bodies or 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 down and that's just in the three recently discovered mass graves took the dog to have modern tools we just rely on basic information families help us identify the civilians we identify a lot of bodies from here because it does not 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 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 most that definitely can wash out and we would. directly targeted by the coalition the 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 bone was in force for as much targets everyone it is not hidden i think the coalition is bones randomly if you're sitting at home a bone may come down and you know 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 off people who were killed during the battle to retake the city. many 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 it is pretty 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 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 ruckus citizens they must live amid rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh. to the middle east now i where after a recent spike in violence on the garson border islamist militant group hamas to its hers agreed to a cease fire with israel violence escalated after an israeli soldier was killed that prompted a series of her strikes on hamas positions leading to fears of all confrontation as artie's policy or 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 hearing the same message from the hamas photocell he 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 came and wind with those kites israel says that its actions would merely and it holds her must responsible the idea of use today's it's like 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 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 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 season. 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 people are and the question of course is if. i'm ever so down when i ask people here that question most people believe they will be a showdown is just a question of when paul asleep while political commentator amir or in the former director of a palestinian civil rights organization moves in ramadan share their views on the recent escalation 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 if he's not in its interest to try and repair. number of but the scene and war show did differ on that either sort of does without any dangers. from them to theirs or you just heard they are just getting their slogans and that is the other voices and asking the international community. to end the seed. of movement and what it does to the buddhist you know to live as normal people. you might be and live in. a media outlet funded by the u.s.

government has deleted a series of it placed on facebook which targeted american audiences it comes after radio liberty was i cheered for potentially violating u.s. laws meant to shield citizens from domestic propaganda killed by ben picks up the story 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 gov. a mission is to promote democratic values and institutions by reporting the news in countries where free press is banned by the government or 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 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

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 want 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 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. so for clarification we asked facebook the broadcasting board of

governors to comment on the case so far they've chosen not to respond to. the students of an english university remove a poem from a compass building describing or third brood yard kipling was a racist reaction to that story and more of the weekend's news right after this. join me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics school business i'm showbusiness i'll see you. looks like a comparison to the u.k. embrace it versus the us policies or some global trade so goes to the global trading environment with the ability to leverage america's got a leverage in that economy and 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 of it they completely misstated or misunderstood there that the equation between the u.k. and the e.u. when it comes to business and. start in the u.k. were a poem by british writer ruud yard kipling has been removed by students of the university of manchester they claim the author who's best known for writing the jungle book was racist the poem if penned in nineteen zero 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 before they say being sought to quote legitimize the british empire its presence in india and dehumanised people of color are first from civil rights activists still. replace the poll we asked people in london about the students and. this is it is a man of his time. and you've got to accept that that was his time today maybe not what you do 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 i did read the deported a bundle i said nothing that's really bad to me in any case and i don't agree with the facing i think there are other ways of protesting will 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 rights. you know we can look at those 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 the most people that watch because of the pain they have the obviously i think there are many great artists also in this museum been fired me such a mistake and. problematic 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 each of these essential. well regard kipling is not the only or third whose work has been criticized of late here's

a few examples. the western material achievement and progress made no dand 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 treat 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 him the jew and the jews to your empire and you yourselves and judah jew and the big jew has received every nation his word until.

after the white house announced its inviting president putin to washington the media is still trying to come to terms with the double trump style of diplomacy paulie boy code i breakstone what's being dubbed the worst week for trumps foreign policy the us president has upset everyone because it is those who do claim that they like this should. come from lord one of the fast rules of diplomacy on his whistle stop tour of europe went off piste and told the truth don't worry victor in effect is it was an astonishing performance he managed to european allies and then in the interests of equality his own citizens to play with the artillery in someone's face but my years as a method not found in any textbook he sobered up opponents and our. eyes with

a stream of clearly. zero simitian the most with a laser going did a who is not just one that's the latest name 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 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 crying 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 that these are guys c'mon it's not a cold war anymore no one was called a traitor and he's a disgrace we're fairly constant out on the conclusion by the american intelligence

services that russia meddled in the us elections traits and a disgrace. he said the air was wrong. the day aloft 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 drop in the presence of who said he suggested the world's two largest nuclear powers should try to get along cold mr president do you know nothing. well be here with more of sunday's news in just over a half an hour's time but stay with us now live from war great programs.
