6:03 pm

6:04 pm
you cannot just fire at everybody everybody in the city you have to be very careful jan of an era where john of an empty could go no markets and mad day the nasty mind imaginatively look at. that right that he had this is a classic street in the liberated parts of the most lifeless devastated it hospitable empty. there are still calculus bodies buried and 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 mixed with unexploded bombs and decaying bodies all the time. because the. future. looked about it.
6:05 pm
could have been. two billion cattle cage are a fact of life if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price and avoidable part of war. well we spoke to the middle east operation manager for doctors without borders who saves people returning something to find death right across the city i think it will be on this year that 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 yet most people haven't been reopened yet there's a lack of water and there's a lack of electricity going back and potentially finding their bodies in your house
6:06 pm
in your street i mean that's that's so george appears very different stating because once again you're confronted to it's all those horrible things that happened in mosul increasing number of people return but there's no access to it due to health care there is 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 hauser. well the horrors of war can also be seen in the syrian city of iraq the bodies of more than twelve hundred civilians the majority of whom are 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 bomb the area firing nearly thirty thousand artillery runs on launching thousands of first strikes during the course of a few months off as more. tobar will mark exactly one year
6:07 pm
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 were executed the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing i don't know where are the birth as they were buried by my uncle now we're looking for the uncle to cope 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
6:08 pm
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 because religion 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. the lived reality of the hundreds of civilians there even
6:09 pm
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 the mess 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
6:10 pm
not hidden i still the coalition is boman brendan lee 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 thousands of people 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 be dozens to hundreds of bodies are too big such as to beaches but that's what we know for resorts struggling to cope with the logistical challenges because there are many of the cater to conduct examinations because the mines around there it is clear from what we have seen on the ground that they are working to. far more creative. but until someone answers the pleas of
6:11 pm
rucker's citizens they must live amid rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh. after a recent break of violence on the garrison border the islamist militant group hamas has agreed to a cease fire with israel on friday four palestinians three of whom were hamas militants under his release soldier were killed during clashes that prompted a series of verse strikes on hamas positions leading to fears of all out confrontation as artie's paulus lior explains. 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
6:12 pm
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 would merely tell a tree and it holds hamas responsible the i.d.f. used today the whole store activity is treated by hamas throughout the last month with great severity hamas chose to skule the security situation and move 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 airstrike a heavy israeli airstrike earlier in the week we are hearing from the israeli prime
6:13 pm
minister benjamin netanyahu that he will continue to strike back at her must 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 then asked whether or not it will hold egypt in the united nations broken 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 using 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 political commentator amir or the former director of a palestinian civil rights organization. sure their views on the recent escalation. hundreds of palestinians if you accumulate the numbers have either died or been injured at the demonstrations but
6:14 pm
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. none but of but the scene and will show did different on that is that you to sort of does without any dangerous kim put on him to that is that it is so does that it just isn't slogans and it is saying out of voices and asking the international community to look at but i shop does that i had to end that she'd get of movement and can look at this do that at the scene at the live as normal people would put a human being and live in the. students in this university removed a poem from a campus building describing or third root yard kipling as a racist reaction to that story and more of the weekend's news after the short
6:15 pm
6:16 pm
what. you do that. i'm interested in the. first. sixty minutes into the program welcome back to a u.s. government funded media played has deleted a series of bugs it placed on facebook which targeted american audiences radio liberty was audited for potentially violating u.s. laws meant to shield citizens from domestic propaganda looking into the story killam up and. 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
6:17 pm
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 to nato. sixty one percent of the surveyed population in twelve countries view nato to 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
6:18 pm
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. 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'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
6:19 pm
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.
6:20 pm
for news now from asia 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. r.t. new york. well we've asked facebook the broadcasting board of governors to comment on the case so far they've chosen not to respond. now in the u.k. a poem by british writer ruud yard kipling has been removed by students of the university of munch esther they say the author who's best known for writing the jungle book was racist the poem if penned in nineteen zero nine was the splayed in a newly renovated campus building but was quickly criticised by members of the
6:21 pm
students' union who said they should have been consulted beforehand they say kipling sought to legitimize the british empire is presence in india and dehumanize people of color a verse from civil rights activists. still i rise has now replaced the pool we asked people in london about the student sections. 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 go to face the charges your group of us free speech is all the window if you do lots of poor us a trick question i'm really into it and not kind of thing but the treat the deporter they vandalized it nothing else really bother me in 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 current period is
6:22 pm
significant and as i write. buteux we can look at diaries and different views and attitudes now i think we can learn a little bit from that you know that it was a bad thing today we may 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 an opinion they have the actually i think there been many great artists also in this museum been fighting the search in a stake and five problematic people in their private lives 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 fate of the it shouldn't be censored. what kipling is not the only author whose work has been criticized recently here's a few other examples. where
6:23 pm
the western material achievement and progress made no dent on the rounded sleep 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. to let in the jew and the jew russet your empire and you yourselves and jew did jew and the big jew has rotted every nation his woman did to. now after the white house says it is inviting president putin to washington many media outlets are still coming to terms with donald trump style of the plough missy polly boyko breakstone
6:24 pm
what's been dubbed the worst week for trump's foreign policy. the u.s. president has upset everyone because she casey wristed doesn't do claim to see like this the. term for ignored one of the rules of diplomacy on his whistle stop tour of europe went off piste and told the truth don't worry you threw in a friend you used to 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 art of learning in someone's face but nicely yours is a method not found in any text reg he still has a pertinent and allies with a stream of clearly. has no snitching the most with a laser going did through that last one and that's the latest nature was that for
6:25 pm
us to 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 and runs 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 time well that is then trump wanted 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 disgrace for any cost in doubt on the conclusion by the american intelligence services that russia meddled in the us elections. and in pisa
6:26 pm
a disgrace. he said the error was wrong. but they often. 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 a long cold mr president do you know nothing. about sour news stories look for no do join scholem thomas up the top of the hour they guide you through the rest of the day's headlines this is r.t. international it should right here. independence means that you're not going to take instruction from any of the
