because defense secretary says that he will counter russia and china militarily sprague said as he delivers a plan to boost the british army's global presence. with efforts to rebuild the war torn iraqi city of mosul under way the situation on the ground

there remains grim locals told us that the city is a ghost town there's no reconstruction here although reconstruction efforts are just on paper like the living dead we have a cemetery over there but here it's a cemetery for the living. venezuela's president nicolas maduro initiate large scale military drills in preparation for a possible u.s. military intervention. we could even test it joining us. international. the british defense secretary has been addressing national security ahead of britain's withdrawal from the european union among the things he advocates is the deployment of more british navy ships overseas london correspondent has the story. well this was

a speech raghavan williamson on veiled his future plans and ambitions for the british military he said that president is a historic moment and an opportunity for the u.k. and he listed all the new gadgets and the state of the art toys and equipment that he has on order he spoke about the british military needing to increase its mass and lethality which led to questions about how he's planning on funding increasing this mass and lethality take a lesson we've seen is the government has always been willing and ready to respond to the case. because we realize for pros and be important soldiers funding aside this speech sounded somewhat detached from reality in other aspects as well governor williamson spoke about bragg's it being a great moment in the u.k. is history which is sound somewhat optimistic given the chaotic situation that the

braggs it process is in right now it is. to seize the opportunities that brics it brings we will build new alliances rekindle old ones and most importantly make it clear that we are a contrary that will act when required we should be the nation that people turn to when the world needs leadership he also spoke of britain being ready to intervene to protect the international rules based order which seem to completely gloss over the interventions that britain has taken part in that haven't quite gone to plan for example iraq afghanistan libya to name but a few. the stop the walk aleutians chris nodded believes the u.k. is aligning its military ambitions with the us what williamson is doing is positioning our future foreign policy. very much in close and tight alliance with

washington's and if you read the you know transfers foreign policy. trumps cabinets foreign policy documents what they're really doing is they're trying to. assuage the u.s. military. to trying to deal with china in particular which they see as their main competitor so the thing is britain's government kind of goes along with that train these kind of aggressive postures can only increase tension around the world they can only be seen as provocative and confrontational against great powers many of whom are armed and powerfully than we are so this is a this is a this is a very odd foreign policy posture and it's hopefully not one that will in fact been pursue. its efforts to rebuild the water on the iraqi city of mosul continues twenty seventeen liberacion the situation on the ground remains grim experts claim

that despite the flow of funds to rebuild the city much of that money's being pocketed by local authorities as authorities deny such allegations the locals continue to complain about widespread corruption we talked to some of those returned to mosul after its liberation at least. details. coming home should always be a joy safety security but it isn't always so not when you're coming back to mosul there are no basic services in the city no jobs it's terrible and we return to our homes a year and a half after the liberation there is no life here there are no decent streets we suffer from power and water shortage it feels so pathetic. we are here battling all the hardships we now regret that we ever came back. it was one of the biggest deadliest battles in the world in decades in the name of freedom they turned west

mosul into this. a city of millions reduced to ash and rubble in an act they called liberation i was there two years ago i saw tasted and smelled the city being freed that's an iraqi helicopter this is what the aftermath of a classic strike in mosul looks like it doesn't that way you do it all looks virtually the same crumbled buildings a brief airstrike craters two years and now things changed west mosul is still a wreck city of the dead not going to zero by one can even imagine how difficult it is not a hospital no schools no teachers we are like the living dead we have

a cemetery over there but here it's a cemetery for the living. their spirit children orphans a clearing rubble in the absence of builders and construction crews they are what you call rescue crews the first to stumble on and dive from booby traps and it's. loaded u.s. coalition bombs they are the first to reach the corpses under the rubble now estimated to be in the tens of thousands bodies left rotting for two years because they have gotten a shot holes are everywhere there are still corpses everywhere and if anyone brings humanitarian aid to the local officials to steal it. corruption has its tentacles everywhere millions of dollars intended for reconstruction apparently siphoned off stolen the u.s. led coalition which spent millions bombing mosul doesn't seem to have the cash or

will to rebuild it the only thing that's being rebuilt the locals the bank accounts of crooked officials there is no reconstruction here all the reconstruction efforts are just in on paper holes everywhere streets filled with rubble and rubbish misery here i swear to god there are new clean officials here the norwegian refugee council media coordinator in iraq tom here is skeptical about the restoration of mosul. mosul is not back to normal yes and it won't it will not be the case for years if reconstruction is not being scaled up people cleared the houses and rebuilt with their bare hands and they are exposed to unexploded bombs we've seen many victims recently so clearly the situation is not back to normal yet there is a nerve agent in to revolt and i'm going to tell you why for the simple reason that

. the camps were not designed as permanent structures the life expectancy of a tent is supposed to not exceed six months and in camps in some camps they haven't been replaced or more than two years now so people are exposed to winter conditions and floods we have big floods in iraq and even recently there has been many of the . so it is clearly urgent to rebuild the people from mosul have been enduring life under islamic state groups for four three years and there are trustees but they are not suffering from the lack of support and this is clearly unacceptable. and as well as embattled president nicolas maduro has launched a huge military drills in preparation for a possible u.s. invasion with your own says washington is leading a coup against him by backing venezuela's opposition leader and why dope or claimed

himself interim president in january when israeli military sticking with the dura for now despite some fifty countries officially recognizing why doug has warned washington against the light. from all four of us if we are a peaceful country that we do not mess with us do not threaten us donald trump get out of bed as well live stop the threats and get out i mean we must prepare to defend our sovereignty to rhetorical integrity and independence but they're always also not allowing u.s. aid to the country saying that it's not nice. did medical professionals protested that decision near a blocked bridge at the colombian border has been urging the military to disobey vitor through med food medicine shortages and hyperinflation more than two million people have fled the country. while the president of the international federation of the red cross is hit out of the situation saying that aid should never be politicized. is really is really

challenging fortunately he. has. are the two top priorities are for us as organization and on these of course we are we are trying to scale up our operation together with a witness right on red cross. at the moment this is the big challenge that the humanitarian aid has been. politicized that is dividing the political debate which shouldn't be. the international community can do more in not giving to the you money. you money. to support the most vulnerable communities here in minutes right now or elsewhere. the peaceful dialogue can prevail we hope that. the option no won't be on the

table in the next day and they would find a way to sort out from these difficulties because here again on the. humanitarian challenges case he place of recognize wango i don't know as venezuela's interim president but the lower house of the german parliament has questions its legality under international law to link a party member andrea who has slammed the decision by key in new countries as being irresponsible. it is clear that currently has no real power in venezuela recognizing him as a president is an irresponsible act that further aggravates an already dangerous conflict and we spoke to andre whom call him self he says the legal expertise clearly shows that the us threats towards venezuela as well as recognition of the opposition leader are in violation of international law recall condition and the current case is against international law and it's very clear and. expertise

that the threat of violence or butyrate interference or even the threat to bring my dual put. out this is very clearly against international law i think it would be much better for the german government or for the european union to have. to have a neutral stance to support for example the initiative of mexico and why. and even as you know the red cross. from venezuela colombia they. said they could not support the so-called whose money tarion eight of the us because it's not independent it's not neutral i think we should have a neutral stance on the situation. the political crisis in venezuela is also have any effect in the u.s. state of florida being politicized for the twenty twenty white house run for the presidency. explains how the crisis is poised to shape which way florida is going

to vote next year. here's a quiz for you it's up to these guys with venezuelan flags to decide which of the following who the next leader in as well is going to be what's going to be done with their country's oil reserves what that as well as constitution is going to be like or how american politics are going to shape out surprise surprise d.d. may well be correct here's why. this crowd gathered in florida novenas well they've been encouraged by the donald trump administration's full on support of the opposition and now some in the democratic camp are truly worried worried for what the crisis will do to the people wrong it's all about the vote tallies republicans are very smart about working the margins they know that a state like florida is usually decided by one percent over last so all they need

are enough of the venezuelans enough of the colombians enough of the proto reconsider indeed florida's a famous swing state plus it's got the highest concentration of venezuelans in america oh my forget all those republican geo political appetites guess what donald trump and his team aren't the only ones to be blamed by the dems here some capitol hill democrats have really screwed over their fellow party members by saying things like the united states needs to stay out of the nice well and let the venue swell and people determine their future we don't want other countries to choose our leaders so we have to stop trying to choose the years well if we are actually living in a world that spinning round the never ending donkey elephant tussle this kind of comment is a big mistake for any democrat the resentment has already been reported on here we are in the middle of a crisis while this is developing to have it turned into well the democrats benefit

will the republicans benefit yeah it seems like a. every single issue that the country is involved in right now no matter how miniscule an unimportant something this huge and important has turned into well democrat republican game and it is being it only makes you wonder what the very same protesters would say if someone explained them the real way their vote counts . starting next month returns to our coverage of the twenty nineteen champions league from pretty much predictions to game post-mortems his new biweekly show should have it all. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and

a fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to do. by the way what is a touch line here. so the ticket sees a significant rise in attacks on farmers we'll hear from some of the victims after this break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. something want to. get it right to be close this is what the korean people are. interested in the logs. thank.

you karl thirty's are being accused of a heavy handed response after a woman was arrested in front of a children along for seven hours for calling a female transgender activist by her former male name scott says that she has not. returned to her two months after police detained and has reportedly been charged with a campaign of targeted harassment. as the story. this is a case that's circulating in the u.k. press this monday concerning a thirty eight year old woman and hartford tour north of london kate scotto who is being investigated following a potentially controversial twitter exchange now according to this woman she was arrested by three police officers and locked up according to her for an entire seven hours following a report filed by a transgender activist claiming that she was dead naming this activist which means using the name that the person was either born with or was using before

transitioning this woman was accused of a campaign of targeted harassment and from what we know court papers say that she had made defamatory posts in a quote talk sic debate over gender now the activist who filed this report stephanie hayden has this to say would beg for it fails to mention is that the subject again junction is alleged to have disclosed private financial and medical information about me on social media channels including one set up for the sole purpose of harassing me for being transgender well the police in this case have said quote we take all cases all reports of malicious communication seriously and now this case is under investigation so we'll be watching it to see how exactly it unravels. so the south african our violent attacks on farmers are on the rise increasing by fifty percent over two years according to new information

official figures indicate when seventy percent of those murders on farms were once we spoke with some farmers subjected to a tux. i think will use the floor to make the difference to you so much here in the lagoon to the activity if you think that this is still light enough with the isotopes lined up in the toe and i was scratched by a guy. around my neck and how to come to my age. i. mean. when they start marie me. it is now i'm. on my. as i went down the garden the beyond the head with this with the stick. and . obviously the short between you first only she will continue to come to the front . doesn't mean you're going to go. the whole time they held a shotgun to my far one that is called leader and you keep saying your bench dawson

watch them stocks. in for the gold. case bonds i'll consider any. recently published report has revealed that electric turtles blowtorches and bleach have been used as assault weapons against farm is the issue of the white control of the control of us to redistribute land to black farmers have been launched by the government which just stressed that it doesn't intend to begin the most seizure of white owned farms and recent spike in attacks has put the she firmly in the spotlight but violence against farm and this is been happening for decades most of the victims are white and less to do with racism and more to do with wider social problems concerning more order in. the nature of their tax is disproportionate we're not among those claiming there is a wide genocide or a crime against humanity but it is it serious crisis and there are signs that it is

only going to get wars we are on record as as dismissing the the what to watch genocide merits. it does not exist as friends that being said. you you do get into it into issues of what of what motivates these crimes and an argument could be made that in certain instances. the requests ritter's racial rhetoric they may be a contributing factor once again these awards expresses possibilities commercial farmers. that tend to be disproportionately white although. you know i think it's it's it's very important you know and see you solutions you know to not to become trapped in that racial prison and we are aware of instances where we're. reject people being attacked and also i think it is best if it must be pointed out that that part of the whole form for matecumbe form of phenomenon is the vulnerability of workers you know pretend to be tend to be black and they've been instances where

. black people have us that lobs to protect. to protect what i watch people under attack and vice versa was the case. we followed in the priest. and that wraps it up for this news hour to join me at the top of the up for the like to see it or. country has gone into a nihilistic fever just want to thank and hit the road and get out to traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlatans the genius to this is the quintessential american hero this is it we found a point around much on what has gone insane we always are on the margins something on this whole gun culture is really important because.
