but from them there are still a few i still sleep the show's hidden in places such as the desert the forests on the islands of the tikrit river and among civilians there is still some fear it's possible for groups of militants to go into houses and slaughtered tire families eisold doubles the number of attacks in iraq with experts saying the state media there is trying to avoid panic by keeping quiet about the true level of violence. the us media and politicians alarm sounds at the idea of a second summit between donald trump and ladysmith putin despite a recent poll suggesting most americans are in favor of closer ties. and facebook is mocked pulled banging out the times in featuring classic words by

the flemish artist ruben just due to their patrol need to see. if you have a social media account we have to take you away from the nudity and to protect you against nudity even if artistic in nature. a warm welcome and a very good morning to you you're watching on c.n.n. for national with me nicky aaron and our top story this hour islamic state is apparently trying to make a comeback in iraq with the number of terror attacks doubled in the past month in the country that's according to a security adviser of the iraqi government that we spoke to iraq declared a final victory over i still last december. and. in junior high school militants stepped up their activity according to government data there were eighty three cases of the doctors in cold civilian that's twice the

number i still have been devastated and the government military crackdown we are still iraqi ministry of internal affairs to comment on the increased attacks on will bring their response as soon as we get it meanwhile the u.s. is continuing to strike terrorist targets in iraq reports on the battle against the heart of. it took very needy the entire world united to defeat isis caliphate in syria and iraq they did it they destroyed the caliph it albeit at a huge cost and proclaim victory some did more proclaiming than others coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the terror but done a great job with those as we have just absolutely decimated isis is absolutely obliterated isis in iraq a case of celebrating a little early isis was never beaten and they lost the battles but the war's

far from over they've gone back to basics hidden run raids assassinations insurgency terror but. there is still some fear it's possible for groups of militants to go into houses and slaughter entire families if you were there you probably know want to stay here if i were to go back he would protect me and my family and they would just come over and slaughter us and forces in the camp to protect their lives in iraq isis is gone on the ground this area of iraq is colloquially become known as the triangle of death because of this new insurgency. they operate in small groups half a dozen jihad the most making it incredibly difficult to track them down. because remember there are still a few i saw a sleeper cells hidden in places such as the desert the forests on the islands of

the tickers river and among civilians few sleeper cells doesn't do it justice kidnappings killings have sawed as much as ten fold in just a few months and iraqi government advisor told us they target officials plan. bombs set up think roadblocks and murder will then vanish sometimes with prisoners. the families children of these soldiers that were kidnapped by isis begged the government for help to find whoever kidnapped them to secure their release anything they got nothing and went on its own i mean those are the men who protected the prime minister the minister of health and many other things source this is their service been dumped here on the floor. some of the hostages were found dead their bodies mutilated likely tortured before death their corpses

rigged with explosives and the government's afraid afraid of people finding out how bad it's becoming. iraqi state media is staying silent about the kidnapping. and i can hinder the government's rescue a number of i saw kidnappings the search teams and you know the special forces do not have enough resources to hundred militants down and that is they're hiding out some remote mountainous areas i still have managed to find sources of funding in the so-called triangle of terrorist the local hundreds of villages in that area have been deported and now the terrorists use them as military bases jails and a commander in. iraq is at a crossroads it learn to level the cities to defeat isis caliph it but that doesn't work anymore isis is an idea and zealotry fanaticism it's

also an outlet for desperation for violence for blood thirst and ideas of the hardest of all to kill. a second meeting between donald trump and saddam a putin seems to be a step closer the kremlin has confirmed. that it's received an official invitation to a summit in washington at the end of the year recent polls show over half of americans surveyed back a second sun it's well over sixty percent believe that better relations with russia would be beneficial beneficial for the u.s. meantime a u.s. state department spokesperson says she does not believe that russia has received a formal invitation that would be something that would come out of the white house so it's you know you'd have to direct that question to the white house about whether or not it was a formal invitation i don't believe it's been a formal invitation but really i'm speaking that's out of my lane and so i just refer you back to white house my understanding is that nothing has been set up at

this point the u.s. media has been voicing concerns over the possibility of trump and putin building closer relations many describe the first summit in house thinking as the manifestation of a new world order so member can looks into the hysteria the first summit course. we don't trust russia we don't trust we never well they're never going to be our friend that's just a fact this president is dangerous that he's in bed with putin all of his have connections with russia the kremlin and oligarchs i think he is putin's apprentice the next time the two leaders meet could be at the g twenty summit in argentina or right here in d.c. in the nation's capital and apparently john bolton national security advisor will be working out all the logistics the next time he's in moscow but the last meeting the helsinki summit that took place last week provoked a total hysteria here in the us of the media accuse trump of treason just for

talking to putin calling him names like a trader a week poppy a kremlin stooge putin's pop it and even accused him of being affiliated with the f.s.b. and the k.g.b. so it was totally outlandish. i don't know which side is the bride and which side of the groom enters it but it is there were sort of feels like we're in a wedding you have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president why is president trump putting himself in this vulnerable high stakes in area and letting lattimer putin lead. a man that even president trump now says interfered in u.s. democracy invited to the white house and now the president has apparently doubled down. to washington so let's collude again.

in the latest larry king show politic king c.n.n. journalist jake tapper says that even though trump of power he changed his mind on intelligence issues off to the meeting the president is still does not believe the allegations against russia. after president trump had publicly sided with putin over the us intelligence agencies over whether or not russia interfered in the election dan coats put out a letter affirming that it was in fact russia. president trump tried to walk that back but as we saw just recently president from just called the russian allegations of russian interference a hoax so we know he doesn't believe that dan coats is in the doghouse because he is saying what he thinks is true and what the intelligence community reports to be true. john kelly still got the clout he had. i don't think so but

it's also just a question of can anyone rein in president trump can anyone try to get president trump to act the way that a normal president would act to back the intelligence community to back his own intelligence officers to not lash out emotionally on twitter i don't think john kelly could it has obviously been able to has not been able to do that i don't think there's anyone that could really be able to get president trump to do that whether it's of jared or priebus or whoever i mean president trump is going to be who he is he. facebook has shocked the twelve by banning advertising featuring the what except the flemish artist pay to pull things. delved into the controversy. full centuries these were considered priceless treasure as an masterpieces and now that

contentious well according to facebook it appears the platforms take box approach to ads means that console the difference between art and pornography annoying art galleries and museums about open visits to mark zuckerberg about ruben's breasts we have noticed that facebook consistently rejects works of on. paul reubens even though we secretly have to laugh about it your cultural censorship is make you watch for all the difficult lost in the append that to add to the facebook see they've even also a big to discuss the matter. so who is the seventeenth century artist well his baroque style paintings of famously known to feature nudes and cherubs sometimes delicately draped with cloth but this artistic taste is a big no no with the media john strict advertising rules this flemish tourist company thinking if it's not appropriate for facebook he's not appropriate for you and if you have a social media account we have to take you away from the nudity thing to protect

your kids nudity even if autistic in nature this includes paintings individual body parts such as a budget speech levy story but it's not just that we put you here in front of this painting we are actually. way. thank you for. facebook has said it's open to discussion but there is no doubt this is great payoff spin by museum curators it is in fact possible to post artistic needs on facebook if it's part of an ad that is in the stricter guidelines and could be rejected but facebook might be playing it safe for different reasons back in two thousand and seventeen facebook came to defy a failing term may have sexual images of children and also failing to stop leaks revenge porn photos all this spot concerns if. a spokesman aeration system facebook's very both expenses flagged up posts but it appears that makes it hard to

distinguish between pornography and artistic nudity but when it comes to exploitation though you can be sure as a facebook user you'll be protected from ours and the video you just saw visitors to the ruben's house and we're jokingly prevented from seeing paintings by the rock monsters to protect them from nudity the marketing director of visit flanders told how people responded to the pronk. well they are very funny actually because they were always aware that this kind of artist or paintings are not able to be shown on the social media they were not aware of it and actually we were not aware of it either because we have planned a whole campaign of our facebook to make the world aware of five hundred years of flemish masters and it was only in february that we found out that all the new it in the paintings was blocked by facebook but we absolutely know the rules of

facebook and about advertising but we would like actually it's an open invitation to facebook to make them rethink the rules that they have because we believe that not showing the new that in paintings is like covering up five hundred years of our art and western history i understand of course there need to be very clear little rules and very good at facebook based so much attention but we think that might be possible to make a clear distinction between. mute in paintings or art which is completely different from from newt or pornographic knew what. the u.s. solar times revealed this year's defense policy bill that puts conditions on u.s. arms sales to saudi arabia for that operation in yemen it wants reassurances from saudi arabia that it will do everything to end the yemeni civil war and eliminate civil civilian deaths risk a little bit explains that always well the policy. now at first glance it actually

looks like washington is starting to distance itself from saudi arabia's war in yemen as washington scrambles over to the new defense bill the secretary of state would have to search for it congress this early coalition is undertaking efforts to end the civil war and reduce the risk of harm to civilians. without the set's vacation the united states would be banned from refueling saudi coalition aircraft commissions exclusively focused on the civil war some media outlets are all over it but listen to the language undertaking efforts to end the civil war now that's a clever way of shielding themselves from criticism and allowing any real efforts to measure their progress now the saudis have been saying the same thing for some time now that they are taking measures to cease the conflict and they've also been playing the mercy card they've actually donated a billion dollars to the united nations for relief in yemen but that's help for the very same country they've been bombing for over three years with civilians dying by

the thousands. if. the thing is under u.s. arms control policy it's illegal to export arms to countries that target civilians well not anymore one word changes everything now the white house says it is legal to sell weapons to countries as long as they don't intentionally target civilians but when has it ever been intentional. and while the defense spending bill is being discussed the saudis already bagged themselves a new contract lockheed martin just signed

a deal worth four hundred fifty million dollars all in the name of global security the deal will see saudi arabia acquire for surfers competence and spark a large agreement with the u.s. to improve global security and support economic progress this is not. nothing other than an attempt by congress to put lipstick on the pig in other words to make something that's gross and awful and illegal and immoral and on ethical to make it look as if it's either better or getting better or the us congress people the elected officials don't want to embrace full responsibility now as congress debates this year's military spending bill including some vague language about saudi arabia the weapons deals just keep rolling in with the lives of civilians in yemen caught in the middle caleb mop and r.t. new york. bush's former foreign secretary may have left office but that hasn't

stopped him speaking out and also for the u.k.'s daily telegraph boris johnson has denounced the mare of london city tong he says khan is failing at his duty to keep london a safe sidique khan blames funding he blames the tory government he blame society he blames everyone but himself when it's his paramount duty to keep london the safe as men and crime commissioner you have to take the blame you have to take the heat . johnson was of course once the mare of london and he seems to have kept some public support well the current mazz approval rating how's flaunts compared to last year well most people there who they preferred. can you describe london in three words on the city as as the big exciting and messy crime would be one of them unclean unsafe. unsure long days an amazing city

some kind of not so sure the organizer but less so refreshing. efficient. surprisingly not some posters on the say multicultural open. to the world class for the words fine. but obviously cannot as it come into my life . as far as i'm concerned i think you did a reasonable job what about on the boris johnson was there any difference and i described. here. they were boris johnson it was about. boris johnson. there was a business mentality image image an image but no substance is marginally better for i stuck around. for the food. nothing nothing changed in the atmosphere changes as time goes on what would you say something to do with force trying to save you from the issues that the congress leaving with it could have

been mismanagement. but on the get the mess hall the think of society that has to be the one thing that's going to have to be done it's going to be many things i think it's a bit a wider picture they need to understand this the social issues behind the crime about with more news after this short break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich . that's it like to be press that's what the forty three in the morning can't be good for. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question.

pleasure funds it's guaranteed returns that there's big abuse by the crooks the guaranteed to shovel it a lot of toxic garbage that is ending up is a county bill because at the end of the day a lot of these pension accounts not being cut back people who think that they had a pension are being told is being run up you're out of touch any more you know what broke you have to go out in the street and beg for money go get addicted to heroin we don't want you anymore drug. welcome back the u.s. is expanding its overseas military presence according to marine corps general joseph dunford there are now three hundred thousand personnel in one hundred

seventy seven countries that's up from two hundred thousand last year this not shows the countries where the u.s. military bases are located however figures cited by general dunford painted a much wider picture he also mentions states with a small number of military personnel even down to one military tashi. well this comes despite donald trump's pledge to end america's role as the world's policeman. the more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world and we're spending tremendous amounts of money for decades on policing the world and that shouldn't be our priority it is talk it's always been very mixed he wants no more wars of overthrows and occupations and he wants to kill them all and bomb them all and fire and fury a hundred seventy seven countries that they admit to having a presence in this is an attempt at global domination everybody is led to believe

that the purpose is fighting terrorism and protecting the united states and the pretty good night estates can easily be protected or the united states needs billions more if it's going to be protected in fact it in dangers of the united states and in dangerous global rule of law it tears down laws against war and laws requiring nonviolent settlement of conflicts it destabilizes in its fuels terrorism there's no disputing those results. germany's domestic security service has raised the alarm over a growing rightwing extremist movement the country's interior ministry says there are there are more than sixteen thousand so-called citizens of the reich in the country the movement project the modern german state and print its own pulse board and currency more than one thousand of them own firearms germany's interior

minister says a number of them are prone to violence. since assault organs are told they are very day very ideologically and in terms of offering is a short term but five percent of them can be considered accidents what breaks burger and sex are misshapen common to is there an obsession with. the same report also claims that nearly eight hundred all the countries citizens are islamist and one hundred seventy of them are in prison a member of the german left party who we spoke to believes there's a direct link between the rise of the far right and islamic radicalization. and the far back yes the policies of the german government last year i think what we're seeing yes there is a lot of services have neglected the threat from right wing activists in the last. you know of it and it's you where you're just seeing the court rule which has

killed those muslim people over a span of mugwort yes and these are the first noticed it is the fall of saddam or the insurer government for importing the mess yet to stand most of the syrian refugees and i ridiculousness are what it is right now just for you to walk those rediculus and terrorist. reports that germany wants to take some of the white cards from syria what are those people what are they going to do is your job just an expression of that is. the president of the european commission makes donald trump today and as many european leaders have already met with the u.s. leader but might have some useful advice. thank you very much but of the species we can't just rely on the superpower of the

united states both natural and man a decade the united states of america sees itself as a regulatory policy for the whole world. is no longer the truth in the future and we. think you really want to see if they can work something out there we do work it out that will be positive and if we don't it'll be positive also if we don't know what you're thinking about those cars are far and near one of those out of that. we've.

we've. well about with all the latest news headlines at the top of the hour we'll see that . join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to get a little the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you than.

anyone else chose seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold. me to old to get to shape out these days comes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the game is national camera. run through once the show and so must be for them. to judge uncool videos of someone with the rocky string up and. down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v.

. global job. to go of course. don't go through. oh oh oh we're. very different conclude. video here. were some snoopy fell.

but i'll say that the way the law was written. i didn't have it in my mind i would be walking around the corner of a totally free person but i'm thinking ten states and twenty years here which is also a lot yes a lot but not in texas standards because texas turns out last census like it's candy. to use these are the two options that could happen here and one major vehicle cop out. ok and where do i fall. from that room here you would fall this way that way so that doesn't make sense that makes sense or ok the other one is if i'm getting in a vehicle and you're turning to do whatever you got to do is.
