to their portrayal of nudity. you know if you have a social media accounts we have to take you away from the nudity thing to protect you against nudity even if not just to make sure. this is our two international bringing you your live news update this hour welcome to the program. first to syria where fifty people have been killed and dozens wounded in a series of terror attacks in the southwest of the country the most serious was in the city of psuedo one suicide bomber detonated his explosives and a marketplace there and two others were killed by authorities before they could carry out an attack other assaults occurred in villages near the city state t.v. says islamic state are behind the attacks. 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 adviser of the iraqi government that we spoke to iraq to clarify

a final victory over i saw last december. and. in june the ice to militant steps up their activity according to government data there were eighty three cases where the inducted in killed civilians that's twice the number in may when i still had been devastated by the government military crackdown we asked the iraqi ministry of internal affairs to comment on this and we'll bring you their response when we get it now the u.s. started its campaign in two thousand and fourteen and is continuing to strike terrorist targets in iraq right gusto reports on the fight to eradicate the jihad us. it took very needy the entire world united to defeat isis caliphate didn't syria and iraq they did it they destroyed the caliphate it will be it's 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 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 sloth entire families if you were there you probably know want to stay if i were to go back who would protect me and my family they would just come over and slaughter us and forces in the camp 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 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 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 in iraq a government advisor told us they target officials plan. bombs set up fake 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 this is their reward for this 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 about the kidnapping of so as not to spread panic can hinder the government's rescue the number of ice all kidnappings the surge since many now 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 death they terrorize the locals hundreds of villages in that area have been deported and now the terrorists use them as military bases jails and command units iraq is at

a crossroads it learned to level the cities to defeat isis as 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. islamic state has also claimed responsibility for a shooting in toronto on sunday that killed two people one victim was a child the other a young woman the attacker opened fire randomly a passer by was on a street in the center of the city thirteen other people were wounded as a result the shooter was later found dead and identified by police as a twenty nine year old of pakistani origin his parents have said he suffered from mental illness. a second meeting between donald trump and lot of mere 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 american service surveyed back a second summit while over sixty percent believe that better relations with russia would be beneficial for the u.s. meanwhile 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 ties many describe the first summit in helsinki as the manifestation of a new world order so america looks into the history of the first meeting cause 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 allies have connections with russia the kremlin and the oligarchs i think he has put into print 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 puppet 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 at 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 an area and letting flat in there 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. and there has been no let up in the russian meddling allegations the secretary of homeland security told reporters the government needs to prepare for further interference coming from russia quickly fired back at that statement saying moscow might just meddle in the coming elections but only to help the democrats i'm very concerned that russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming

election based on the fight the new president has been tough from russia to me he will be pushing very hard for the democrats they definitely don't want trump and the latest larry king show politicking c.n.n. journalist jake tapper says the trump 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 trump just called the russia 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 quality you 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 a vodka and jared or priebus or whoever i mean president trump is going to be who he is he. facebook has shocked the art world by banning advertising featuring the works of the seventeenth century flemish artist peter paul rubens and delved into the controversy. full centuries these were considered priceless treasure as 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 on bits of paul reubens even though we secretly have to laugh about it your cultural censorship is make you live for all the difficult flaws in the append that add to the face but see they've even all suck a big to discuss the matter. so what 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 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 nature this includes paintings individual bodies such as not to speak cleavage story but it's just that we put your head in front of this painting we are searching for. 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 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 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 baltic census flag posts but it appears it makes it hard to distinguish between pornography and autistic nudity but when it

comes to exploitation though you can be sure as a facebook user you'll be protected from our thoughts as you just saw our visitors to the rubens house and or were jokingly prevented from seeing paintings by brooke masters to protect them from nudity the marketing director of visit flanders told us how people responded to the park. 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 plants a whole campaign of facebook to make the world to aware of the cheers of flemish masters and it was only in february that we found out that all the new look 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 new paintings is like covering up five hundred years of our art and western history i understand of course that they need to be very clear little rules and very good at facebook pay so much attention but we think that might be possible to make a clear distinction between like muting paintings or art which is completely different from from utah or pornographic knew it coming up in the program a right wing movement in germany that prints its own money and passports so if surge in popularity over you that story and much more after a quick break. pleasure's

funds it's guaranteed returns that is being abused by the crooks are using the guarantee to shovel it a lot of toxic garbage that is ending up is a guaranteed bill because at the end of the day a lot of these pension accounts not be cut back people who think that they had a pension are being told is being run up your out of touch any more you're now flat broke you have to go out to the street and beg for money go get addicted to heroin we don't want you anymore drop dead.

or come back the u.s. senate has revealed this year's defense policy bill that puts conditions on u.s. arms sales to saudi arabia for their 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 as kilmartin explains there are ways 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 amendments to the new defense bill the secretary of state would have to certify its congress that the saudi 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 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 full of surface combat since it's possible large agreement with the u.s. to improve global security and support economic progress this is nothing other than a temp. by congress to put lipstick on the pig in other words to make something that's gross and awful and illegal and immoral and done 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 r.t. new york the saudi led coalition started its bombing campaign against yemen in two thousand and fifteen against the rebels the coalition has conducted thousands of air strikes and some have hit civilian areas however they always denied doing that intentionally saudi arabia says that with the rebels pose a threat to its borders. the president of the european commission meets donald trump later in washington it comes at a low point in u.s. relations with the e.u. america slaps tariffs on steel and aluminum from the block and then the e.u. hit back with tit for tat measures on tuesday donald trump tweeted that he hopes both the us in the e.u. will drop all the tariffs but understands it won't happen the bloc doesn't seem to

be that optimistic either saying there's no special trade offer on the table for washington now as well as calling the european commission chief a brutal killer trump also described europe as a foe on trade euchre had some harsh words of his own. trump told me last week claude you are a brutal killer but it is the first time that luxembourg has become a threat to the united states of america he meant that i think as a complement to them even though i cannot be sure then your thoughts also now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically a stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do it we will now impose tariffs on motorcycles harley davidsons on blue gene was levis on bourbon we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid totally unacceptable that it can't use impose unilateral measures when it comes to. create a. company pose those tariffs on steel aluminum siding national security concerns

the e.u. asked to be exempted from the measures that was denied it then introduced its own duty on american products including motorcycles and jeans. and if mr youngers looking for inspiration before his meeting with donald trump he could look to some of the european leaders who have already met with the u.s. president. thank you very much but the speech was just too long the superpower of the united states was told natural for many decades that the united states of america sees itself as a regulatory column for the whole world. is no longer the truth in the future we've . got. the d.v.d. you really want to see if they can work something out so that we do work it out that will be positive and if we don't it'll be hard for the world so if we don't

know what you're thinking about the cars are far and near will go south of the. u.s. . we. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. we've.

germany's domestic security service has raised the alarm over 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 print its own passports and currency more than one thousand of them on firearms and germany's interior minister says a number of them are prone to violence. they are very very ideologically and in terms of organization but five percent of them can be considered extremists what breaks burger extremists have in common is their obsession with weapons. that very same report also claimed that nearly eight hundred of the country's citizens are as long as and one hundred and seventy of

them are in prison authorities say the increase brings new challenges but the country's agencies were strong enough to deal with it a member of the german left party we spoke to believes there's a direct link between the rise of far right and islamic radicalization. yeah banks lending again all of these german cars were the last year but i think what we're seeing yes that is a lot of services happening collector threat from right after this last day you know of it and it's you where we've just seen a court rule which has killed those multiple people over a span multiple eight years and the police of the service already didn't notice it it's the fall of adam early insurer government for employees a disservice yes then most of the syrian refugees are not ridiculousness some are and what is right now is important to those ridiculous terrorists you know you've

got reports that germany wants to take some of the west from syria while those people what are they going to do in germany joe ted nugent's crash. that took update for now but don't forget you can always head to our website artie dot com for the details on all those stories and more thanks for tuning in. can you think of a more intriguing story line one that includes an attractive russian woman money guns politics power and yes buy unfortunately for maria who came in this is not a story line but her life at the moment is she the most recent victim of the west phobia towards all things related to russia. right well said started five times that he has

a signal. he's not going to talk about. just really right after the arse explorers one move to put their. pool. seriously. ok let's room and told them to sophie and tell i'm so sorry shevardnadze said today we've got lots to talk about in our program and our gas to move good luck to. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be rich. to go on to be close with what before three of them or ten people that i'm interested in always in the waters of my college. first sit. back skies are fine it will survive a little place a little bit of bellatrix. closure to this is it this is essential plugs for dying of the elements for the club and right now they stopped. i'm bart chilton and this is bone boss broadcasting around the world from right here in view of the u.s. capitol in washington d.c.

this is the second installment of our infrastructure deficit special if a structure isn't just a nice thing to have isn't only about having less bumps on a ride or about convenience it's much more including national security we asked the former director of the national transportation safety board jamie finch about that and more. of the search through four is a national security issue. goes about going all the way back to president eisenhower having him be the germans autobahn he brought the concept to the united states as a as a system to build across america so you can actually travel from the us from the east coast us to the west coast the u.s. in a sort of about time versus the several months that it took him when he was a private when he first made it into the army.

the world has become more connected with people in places that ever before and we can now reach just about any city on the planet in a single day and none of it would be possible without airplanes and airports in fact the national air traffic controllers association says there are over eighty seven thousand flights in the united states every single day at the same time u.s. airports are decomposing before our eyes for an aerial view on the current state of airport infrastructure we handed over to our correspondent nicholas on. for most people coming into the u.s. the first thing they see is one of these and they're poles and although america considers itself to be the leader of the developed world the truth is that it's airports are always walked passengers from the middle east asia or europe would

expect president.
