but there is still some fear it's possible for groups of militants to go into houses slaughtering families high schools double the number of attacks in iraq the government security advisers say is the state media that is trying to avoid panic by keeping quiet about the true level of violence. the number of eyesore kidnappings surged and so on you are now the special forces to not have enough resources to run a star but you're still hiding out so much nonsense in. the us media and politicians lashed out at the idea of a second summit between donald trump and florida may putin this spikes a recent poll suggesting most americans are in favor of closer ties. and facebook is mocked for finding out for ties in featuring classic works by the

flemish artists rupert due to bad portrayal of nudity. if you have a social media account we have to take you away from the nudity thing to protect you against nudity even if artistic in nature. a warm welcome and a very good morning to you it line i am here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with me the caring meanwhile in iraq islamic state is apparently trying to make a comeback with the number of terror attacks doubled in the past month in the country that's according to a security advisor of the iraqi government that we spoke to iraq declared a final victory over i still last december. and. in june the ice to militant steps up their activity according to government data there were eighty

three cases with doctors in coatesville of course that's twice the number and i still had been devastated by the government military crackdown when i asked the iraqi ministry of internal affairs to comment on this and we'll bring you their response as soon as we get it the u.s. started its campaign in twenty fourteen and is continuing to strike terrorist targets in iraq where i guess you have a port from the fight to eradicate the jihadists it took very nearly the entire world united to defeat isis caliphate didn't syria and iraq they did it they destroyed the caliphate albeit at a huge cost and proclaim victory some more proclaiming than others because to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory will do a great job with those as we have just absolutely decimated eyes is just 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 sasa nations 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 are probably not want to stay if i were to go bug who would protect me and my family and they would just come over and slaughter us and forces and they come to protect their lives in iraq isis has gone underground this area of iraq has colloquially become known as the triangle of death because of this new insurgency. they operate in. small groups half a dozen jarvis that moves are making it incredibly difficult to track them down.

because remember there are still a few isis sleeper cells hidden in places such as the desert the forests on the islands of the two groups river and among civilians few sleeper cells doesn't do it justice kidnappings killings have soared as much as ten fold in just a few months and iraqi government advisor told us they target officials plan set up think roadblocks and 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. 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 in 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 you know how the. iraqi state media is staying silent no i mean not as you know the army it's rescued such a number of i still kidnapping so we think you know the special forces do not have enough resources to hunt him 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 death but they terrorize the locals hundreds of villages in that area have been depopulated now the terrorists use them as military bases jails and command units iraq. is that a crossroads it learn to level cities to defeat ises caliph it but that doesn't

work anymore isis is an idea of 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 lattimer 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 that over half of americans surveyed back a second summit well over sixty percent believe they're better relations with russia would be beneficial for the u.s. meantime the 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 the 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 just described the first summit in how think he as the modified station of a new world old samir khan looks into the hysteria the first summit caused we don't trust russia we don't trust putin we never well they're never going to be our friend that's just a fact this president is dangerous he's in bed with putin all of his allies have connections with russia the kremlin and the 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 u.s. 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. the 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 a state inviting him to washington so let's collude again that it is. in the latest larry king show politic kanga c.n.n. journalist jake tempest says that even though trump apparently changed his mind on intelligence issues after the meeting the president still does not believe the allegations against russia after president trump had publicly sided with putin. over the u.s. 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 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. is john kelly still got the cloudy head.

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 and 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 a vodka and jared or priebus or whoever i mean president trump is going to be who he is he. facebook has shocked by banning of the times saying featuring the web site the flemish artist peta pole ruben's honesty's how he says that they delved into the control this. full centuries these works were considered priceless treasures and

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 all of about open from visits one does to mark zuckerberg about ruben's breasts we have noticed that facebook consistently rejects works of art by b. to paul reubens even though we secretly have to laugh about it your cultural censorship is making wide for all the difficult in the append that head 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 trite with cloth but this artistic taste is a big no no with the meta john strict advertising rules they call the flemish tourist company thinking if he'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 good spirits even if autistic in nature this includes paintings individual bodies such as the budget speech cleavage story but it's just that we put your head in front of this painting we are searching for. thank you for. facebook has said it's open to discussion but there is no doubt this is great pay off spin by museum curators as it is in fact possible to post artistic needs on facebook if it's part of an advocate 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 into fire for failing to may have sexual images of children and also failing to stop leaks revenge porn photos all this spot concerns in the face. moderation system facebook's very bought expenses flag posts

but it appears it 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 group and house and artwork were jokingly prevented from seeing paintings by the rock monsters to protect them from nudity the marketing director of visit flanders told us how people responded to the program. 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 plans a whole campaign of facebook to make the world aware of five hundred two 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 actually it's an open invitation to facebook to make them rethink the rules that they have because we believe that not showing the nude 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 pay so much attention but we think that it might be possible to make a clear distinction between. mute in paintings or millet in art which is completely different from from newt or pornographic knew what. the u.s. senate has revealed this year's defense policy bill that puts conditions on u.s. arms sales to saudi arabia for the operation in yemen it wants reassurances from saudi arabia that it will do everything to end the yemeni civil war and eliminate civilian deaths but is caleb morgan explains that always around 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 circuitry of state would have to search for its congress the sorry 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 for missions 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 effort some 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. to. get. 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 joakim 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. so improve global security and support economic progress this is not. thing 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 u.s. 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 r.t. new york. the president of the european commission meets donald trump today and as

many european leaders have already met with the u.s. presidents they might have some good fun. thank you but there to speak if we can just prolong the superpower of the united states what it's all natural for many decades the united states of america sees itself as a regular column for the whole world. is no longer the truth in the future i. think the do you really want to see if they can work something out there we do work it out that everybody should have been if we don't it will be far short of also if we don't know what you're thinking about the cars are already here we'll go shopping thank you. thank you.

thank you thank you. thank you thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you thank you. thank you thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you thank you. i like movement in germany that prints its own money and paul

sports sees a surge in popularity but the details for you are not off this quick break. pleasures fund is guaranteed returns that those being abused by the crooks are the guaranteed to shovel it a lot of toxic garbage that is ending up is accounted no because at the end of the day a lot of these pension accounts not be cut back people who think that they had a passion are being told is being run up you're out of touch any more you're now flat broke you have to go out in the street and beg for money go get addicted to heroin we don't want you anymore drop dead. seems wrong. why don't we just don't all. get to

a growing right wing extremist movement the country's interior ministry says there are more than sixteen thousand so-called citizens of the reich in the country the movement rejects the modern german state and prints its own passports and currency more than one thousand of them own firearms germany's interior minister says a number of them are prone to violence since. they are very diverse ideologically and in terms of organization but five percent of them can be considered extremists briggs berger x.-treme is how much time and is there an obsession with weapons. the same report also claimed that nearly eight hundred of the country's citizens are islamists 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. yeah you part of the backlash against the policies of the german government last year well i think what we're seeing us there and other services have neglected threat from right wing activists in the last decades you know all of it and it's you where we're just seeing the court rule which has killed those multiple people over a span of market years and police that the intelligence service they didn't notice it is the thought of i mean arbitrary government for imported islamists yet to stand most of the syrian refugees are not ridiculousness some are what it is right now just if i didn't walk those rediculus know terrorists who are i've probably got reports that germany wants to take some of the way targets from syria while those people what are they going to do in germany joins a huge an expression of those. forces former foreign secretary may have left

office but that hasn't stopped him speaking out and it also calls for the u.k.'s daily telegraph a boris johnson has denounced the maryland the inside it can he says kahn is failing his duty to say 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 mayor and crime commissioner you have to take the blame you have to take the heat. boris johnson was once the maire of london and he seems to have kept some public support while the current mayor's approval rating has slumps compared to last year we asked people there who they preferred please describe london in three words on the city card as as the big exciting and messy crime would be one of them unclean unsafe. i'm sure these long days an amazing

c.t. subject can i'm not so sure organized but that's so refreshing. efficient. surprisingly not to post it on the cheap say multicultural open. to the world class for words fine. so you want word that every three car doesn't come into my life. as far as i'm concerned i think you did a reasonable job what about on the brochures and was there any difference and i described them. yeah. they were boris johnson it was about. boris johnson. there was a business mentality image an image an image but no substance is marginally better for a staffer only he stopped. the food and. i think nothing's changed the atmosphere changes as time goes on but i would say something to do with for signs of. the

issues that the con is the visit could have been mismanagement on boris johnson but on that if the mayors fall for this 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 of why the picture they need to understand is that the social issues behind. us is expanding its overseas military presence according to marine corps and general joseph dunford there are now three hundred thousand personnel in one hundred seventy seven countries that's up from two hundred thousands last year the maps. as the countries where the u.s. military bases are located however figures cited by general dunford painted a much wider picture he also mentioned stayed with the flow number of military personnel even down to one military attach a. this comes despite donald trump's pledge to end america's role as the world's police. 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 war wars of overthrows and occupations and he wants to kill them all and bomb them all and fire and fury one 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 united states 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 dangers global rule of law it tears down laws against war and laws requiring nonviolent settlement of conflicts it destabilizes and it's fuels

terrorism there's no disputing those results well those are the headlines for this hour if you have something to say would love to hear it so defilers on social media will be back at the top of the hour with the latest. when gold make its manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts and we the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. the ground from the more you leave the room. join me every thursday on the all excitement show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of

politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see of that. and what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to. have to be right to be for us this is what the four three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. question. greetings and salutation. in the ever changing world of pop culture two thousand
