protests. 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 definitely should not be censored. broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our international certainly glad to have you with us. now it has been a year since mosul was fully liberated from islamic state the iraqi city had been the terror group's de facto capital in the country for more than three years so what are things like in there today artie's roughly newsagency visited the city and spoke to a local resident. there are two bodies still down there and there are full more bodies in that house behind us there's still inside the stench coming from them is very strong our children are getting sick because of this.

they're said 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. but they said we're not going to treat her our priority is the finances we can give her an injection so she dies immediately that have her to die at home u.s. led coalition air strikes left the city of mosul in a ruins and one year on it remains devastated here's a look back at how the battle of mosul unfold. iraqi security forces launched a counterattack to liberate mosul for myself also known as day. this operation to regain control of iraq's second largest city will likely continue for weeks

possibly longer. streamlet 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 from. i think operation it's on hopeful that we need the city put into the. you cannot just fire at everybody and everybody in the city you have to be very

careful john of an era where john of an empty could go no modern pentathlon magnate and the mastermind imagine if you've looked at. that right you have this is a classic street in the liberated parts of mosul lifeless devastated it hospitable empty. there are still calculus bodies buried and the all this rubble and no one knows how long it'll take to get to war rubble the buildings and even that mixed with unexploded bombs and decaying bodies all the time. because the. future.

could have any. civilian casualties are a fact of life if you want to liberate your towns and cities columns at a price that's unavoidable part of the war. we spoke to the middle east operation manager for doctors without borders who says 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 there there's a bull. infrastructure hasn't been repaired yet or spills haven't been reopened yes there's a lack of water and there's a. city 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 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 are good wounded from collapsing houses the horror of war can also be seen in the syrian city of raka the bodies of more than twelve hundred civilians in the majority of them women and children have been discovered in three mass graves there it is claimed most of them war killed when the u.s. led coalition bombed the area firing nearly thirty thousand artillery rounds and launching thousands of airstrikes during the course of few months of comments. 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 dead 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 i don't know where are the birds 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 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 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 eyesores 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 are 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 the most that definitely can wash out of that 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 other 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 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 houses of people who were killed during the battle to retake the city. maybe were buried has to leave but also many remain in the rubble or at least in mass graves each one has to dozens to hundreds of bodies of your screen you're hard to make such as to beaches but that's what we know all tories are struggling to cope with the logistical challenges because there are many of the gated to conduct examinations because they are the mines around there it is clear from what we have seen on the ground that they are working to exhibit bodies. far more creating the system but until someone says the pleas of rockers citizens they must live amid rubble and stench the stench of decomposing flesh.

well after a recent outbreak of violence on the gaza border the islamist militant group hamas says it has agreed to a cease fire with israel on friday for palestinians three of whom were hamas militants and israeli soldier were killed during clashes now prompted a series of airstrikes on hamas positions leading to fears of all out confrontation as are just costlier 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 hoaxed 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 have nuts 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 hamas responsible the i.d.f. used today's it's like the whole store activity is treated by hamas throughout the last month with great severity hamas choose to escape the security situation i moved 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 minister benjamin netanyahu that he will continue to strike back at home us 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. will have a good commentator amir oren and the former director of the palestinian civil rights organization motion aboud 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. the scene and will show did the from that you to sort of does without any dangerous. from tim to that is that it is so does that it just isn't slogans that is saying a voice is asking the international community to look at but i shop does that i had to end the seeds. of movement and can look at this through the decision at the live as not but people. here might be and live in the. students and in english university remove a poem from a campus building describing author rudyard kipling as a racist reaction to that story and much more of the weekend's news after a short break you are watching our attention. to prepare the program i had to look at a lot of material to listen to

a lot of material and also read a lot of material that those appalling. and not only that when you get these images into your head and of course the images that i was you know far more graphic than anything i could include in a in a television. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to express. something that's. that's right. this is what. you do that. i'm interested in the you.

are well the mattresses are to international now u.s. government funded media outlet has deleted a series of ads placed on facebook which targeted american audiences radio liberty was outed for potentially violating u.s. laws meant to shield citizens from domestic propaganda has killed as more. 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 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 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 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 the sport cost apparently one of 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. r.t. new york we've asked facebook and the broadcasting board of governors had to comment on the case so far they have chosen not to respond. students at the university of manchester in england have painted over a mural of a poem by rudyard kipling they say that the victorian era author who is best known for writing the jungle book was a racist who dehumanised people of color and sought to legitimize the british empire presence in india the poem if penned in eight hundred ninety five was displayed in a newly renovated campus building but was quickly criticised by members of the student union who said that they should have been consulted beforehand a verse from civil rights activist maya angelou still i rise has now replaced the poem we asked people in london about the students' actions.

this is it is a man of his time. and you've got to accept that that was his time today maybe don't really do a disservice to you just because you agree with such free speech on the window if you do that's a trick question i'm really into it and not kind of thing but the drip deported if something is really bad to me any occasion 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 heart and period is significant in his own rights. 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 the past i don't think that we should disregard the most people or that was just

because of the pain they have the actually i think there are many great artists also in this museum been fired missile in a stage and. problematic people in their private loans but that doesn't necessarily mean that there are going to be that obvious but it also can mean that so it should be acknowledged and it should be they're open for discussion but the date shouldn't be censored. i kept saying is not the only writer whose work has been criticized recently here are a few other examples. that western material achievement and progress made no dand 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. in the jew and the jew russet your empire and you yourselves out jude the jew and the big jew has rotted every nation is worded to. switching gears now after the white house announced it is inviting president putin to washington many media outlets are still trying to come to terms with donald trump's style of diplomacy his polling breaks down what has been dubbed the worst week for trump's foreign policy. the u.s. president has upset everyone because she's missed it doesn't do claim to see like this was a. 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 you tube 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. someone's face but nicely yours is a method not found in any text reg he sobered up opponents and allies with a stream of clearly. zero simitian the most with a laser going did through that last one that's the latest in a terrorism for us to take a truthful 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 sport of bragg's it in joost political turmoil. he politicians well the ones on dealing with a little bit about is then trump wanted 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 for apparently costing 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 i hope to. he said he actually meant to say the exact opposite donald's desperate back tracking with the fast sign of genuine diplomacy he so i'm not sure you did drop in the presence of he said he suggested the world's two largest

nuclear powers should try to get a long cord mr president do you know nothing. all right here's a little bit of breaking news that's coming across our desk this hour police in los angeles say that there is a possible hostage situation at a trader joe's grocery store in silver lake which is near a hollywood just to give you an idea of where that is a suspect who is reportedly being pursued by officers crashed his car got out and ran into the shop before barricaded himself inside police are at the scene and attempting to determine whether there are people still trapped inside unconfirmed witness reports suggest that shots have been fired authorities have said that people should avoid the area and of course our news team is keeping across the situation and we will keep you updated as we get more information and as the story develops you're watching our international stay with us.
