a year after islamic state is run the. city of mosul remains in ruins we hear from a local resident after. their food house behind us is still inside the stench coming from them is very strong. because of this. program a shaky cease fire is restored between hamas militants and israel after a violent clashes on the gal's a border raising fears of a full blown conflict in the region. on students of a university in northern england to remove a famous poem by british writer kipling from the compass wall claiming he was a racist. there are. people in london what they think about them.

is a man of his time. and you've got to accept that was his time it should be acknowledged and it should be there open for discussion but the thing is that it shouldn't be. coming live from moscow twenty four hours a day this is r t international my names you know knowing all of 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's de facto capital in the country for almost three years ripley news agency visited the city and spoke to a local resident. there are two bodies still down there and there are full bodies in that house behind us there's still inside the stench coming from them is very

strong children are getting sick because of this. they're said in a fog there were six of us my daughter was killed we lived in that house after the airstrikes i just couldn't live there anymore. i don't know them. because they said we're not going to treat her priorities the finances we can give her an injection so she dies immediately but have her to die at home while u.s. led coalition air strikes left the city of mosul in ruins and one year on it remains devastated here so look back at how the battle of mosul unfolded. iraqi security forces launch 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 long. stream a concern for the safety of up to one point five million people living in mosul who may be impacted by military operations to retake the city for once. the operation itself hopeful that we could put the city before the the.

you cannot just fire at everybody everybody in the city you have to be very careful john of atlanta well john i mean it couldn't go no monica sadly the magnitude and the mastermind amounted to the. magic and how the this is a classic street in the liberated parts of mosul lifeless devastated it all spittle empty. there is still calculus bodies buried under 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.

she got a. picture of them to what it. could have been. to pull you out of teaching are 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 operation manager for doctors without borders people are returning just to find death right across the city i think it will be unfair nothing has changed but what we what we called 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 evident 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 psychologically is very different stating because once again you're confronted to it's always horrible things that happen in mosul increasing number of people return but there's no access to it due to health care there's no for example 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. well the heart of war can also be seen in the syrian city of iraq the bodies of more than twelve hundred civilians majority of them women and children have been discovered in three graves there it's claimed most of them were killed when the u.s. led coalition bomb the area firing nearly thirty thousand artillery rounds on the launching thousands of first strikes during the course of a few months bringing us the report down of. 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 where excavated the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing and unaware of the birth 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 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 now 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 saw as 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 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 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 brenda mely 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 to 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 be dozens to hundreds of bodies and it is really hard to make 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 to conduct examinations because the mines around there it is clear from what we have seen on the ground that they are

working to exhibit bodies. what critic says but until someone answers the pleas of rocker's citizens they must live a murder rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh. after a recent spike in violence on the girls and border islamist militant group hamas has agreed to a cease fire with israel violence escalated after an israeli soldier was killed on friday that prompted a series of first strikes on hamas positions leading to figures of all odd confrontation authorities 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 but hearing the same message from hamas hosts 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 came and went with those kites israel says that its actions were merely tell a creep 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 the consequences for its actions last night strikes were the worst we've seen since the two thousand and fourteen will 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 been a minute. who 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 ceasefire in some six days so of course the question is being asked whether or not it will hold egypt and the united nations brokered 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 an easy and the question of course is if and when will be another showdown when i ask people here their question most people believe there will be a showdown is just a question of when. well political commentator amir or anon the former director of a palestinian civil rights organization more abu 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 repel. number of but the scene and war sure did differ on that is that you to sort of does without any dangerous. put on them to theirs or you just heard it just what is in your slogans and that is voices and asking the international community. to end that she'd get it done of movement and what it does to the biggest you know to live as normal people would. be and live in. and. immediately it funded by the u.s. government has the lead at a series of it placed on facebook which targeted american audiences radio liberty

was i did for potentially violating u.s. laws meant to shield citizens from domestic propaganda getting into about story for this kill of my pen. 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 who are 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 the 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. g. now where 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 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 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 yes 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 us the facebook the broadcasting board of governors to comment on the case of know they've chosen not to respond. students in this universe to me remove

a poem from a compass building describing or third kipling was racist in reaction to the more of the weekend's news right after that. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in a world of big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. twenty minutes past ten pm here in moscow welcome back in the u.k. a poem by british writer ruud yard kipling has been removed by students at the university of manchester they are claiming the author who's best known for writing the jungle book was racist the poem if penned in one thousand eight hundred nine was displayed in the. newly renovated campus building but was quickly criticized by

members of the student union who said they should have been consulted beforehand they are kipling saw to quote legitimize the british empire as presence in india and dehumanised people of color first from civil rights activists my angelou's still rise has 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 where you don't differ so you just. three speeches on the window if you do that's a trick question i'm really into it and not kind of thing but the drip to deport it if nothing else really bother me in any case and 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 a tory 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 doing in the past i don't think that we should disregard the most people all that was because of the pain they have that obviously i think there are many great artist also in this museum been quite me such a mistake and. problematic people in their private lives 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 thing is that it shouldn't be censored well coupling is not the only or third whose work has been criticised recently 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 in the jew and the jews did your empire and you yourselves and jude the jew and the big jew has received every nation his word. ok moving on or 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 polly boy could i break star in what's being dubbed the worst week for trump's foreign policy the us president has upset everyone because because they don't do the climate they like this. time from north one of the fast rules of diplomacy on his whistle stop tour of europe went off piste and told the truth don't worry if you're in a family is to say 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 softened up opponents and. lies with a stream of clearly obvious provoke finishing the most with

a laser going did home truth is that last one that'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 trump had already accepted 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 time about his then trump it in face to face in helsinki and a mainstream america exploded let me see those guys come on it's not the cold war anymore but one was called a traitor and he's a i just scrapes were fairly constant out 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 after though he says he actually meant to say the exact opposite donald desperate backtracking was the first sign of genuine diplomacy he said i'm not sure if both did drove 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. holy boy girl otherwise known as the voice more news can always be phoned in or to. leave your thoughts on the story of your choice there are.

seventy four design submissions. seven thousand islands. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty days of. a russian w.b. . under russian stuff. show you how. long the crimea bridge was built. what was the construction living you need to transport doughtery that will help the cause of crimea. most of those you know what google more familiar with it

a bit but it's clear. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to do like to be for us it's like well before three in the morning can't be good yes i'm interested always in the waters of my. question.

hello i'm most does or 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 tariffs 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 playing board and saying it will start 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 there's 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 import taxes on cars made overseas so you know if you want to say.
