continuing coalition of sport for police training will be essential as will be coalition support for demining and clearing hazardous materials. we will continue to facilitate the return of people to their homes and work with local political leadership. they will provide stable and fair governance, rebuild infrastructure and provide the essential services. we will use our diplomatic presence on the ground to facilitate channels of dialogue between local leadership and coalition partners. these initiatives are working well in iraq and we are working to taylor a similar approach specific to the challenges in syria. while a more defined course of action in syria is still coming together, i can say the united states will increase our pressure on isis and al qaeda and we'll work to establish interim zones of stability through cease-fires to allow refugees to go home. as a coalition, we are not in the business of nation building or reconstruction we must ensure that the respective nations precious and limited resources are preventing the resurgence of isis and equipping the war-torn communi

led coalition airstrikes.ccording to amnesty international, coalition forces are not doing enough to prevent civilian deaths. >> evidence gathered on the ground in east mosul points to an alarming pattern of u.s. led coalition airstrikes that destroyed whole houses with entire families inside. suggesting coalition forces have failed to take adequate cautions to prevent civilian deaths, a flagrant violation of international military and law. it's hundreds of thousands of civilians ignored the iraqi government's advice to stay in mosul, but for the roughly 400,000 who did not flee, every day runs the risk of death. say more thans 100 people were killed, coalition forces admitted carrying out the strike but stop admitting any civilians died. >> are doing everything possible to reduce the loss of life from innocent people. >> raising another question, did the new u.s. administration ease restrictions on coalition airstrikes to make it easier to fight islamic state group militants? u.s. military officials insist th

to reflect on the past year we should be encouraged by progress that we are making as a coalition the flow into syria and iraq is down 90 percent of the past year. it is harder for the terrorists to get in and get out. to threaten the homeland. turkey has pushed vice is off the border through operations in the entire border is now in -- not excessive will and we will make sure it stays that way. many deputies are now dead it is only a matter of time the libyan government to deprive of its own territory outside the fire iraq and syria to have representatives here today and over partners on the ground as of liberated square kilometers freeing the people from cities and villages and towns with the liberation of all this territory that isis has recovered none of it. those that have content in five languages with the attack with the on-line presence yielding a 75% reduction of content of the internet in one year and 475,000 linked twitter accounts. more than 1 million iraqis have returned to their homes the displacement we must insure this continues those closest to the conflict have under

mosul, where hundreds of thousands of civilians are caught between the murderous terrorists and coalitiontrikes. i will ask an iraqi brigadier if many more civilian casualties in mosul are inevitable. also tonight... the talks which are about to start will be difficult, complex and sometimes even confrontational. 0n the day that donald tusk laid out the eu's negotiating guidelines, we look at the the road ahead for brexit. and will we all by cyborgs any century soon? the answer is yes, if the tranhumanists have their way. good evening. is — or daesh‘s — tentacles have spread across the globe, but tonight we focus our attention on where it all began. iraq's second city, mosul, has, for the past three years, been under the vicious heel of is, who visited unimaginable horror on many of the city's inhabitants. it was in mosul where the is leader, abu bakr al—bagdadi, declared an islamic caliphate, but now the iraqi army, aided by coalition forces, have liberated much of the city and backed is fighters into neighbourhoods in west mosul‘s old city, along with around 300,000 inhabitants. there i

with the coalition, we do not know which coalition partners were involved in the events.he united states must probably, bubut there were other nationsnn the coalition also bombing quite heavily at mosul at the moment. amy: and those countries are? >> australia, the united kingdom, belgium, and france. all of them have said that mozilla is where most of their airstrikes are now taking place. a lot of people involved. the reality is that more than 100 civilians certainly are dead. "the washington post" saying this morning that have been speaking to civil defense in mosul and a minimum o of 101 bodies so far removed from the scene and perhaps many more bodies ther this is what leads to this reporte. a possibly one of the highest ever reported civilian casualty events that the coalition or the u.s. may have been involved in. juan: chris, the guardian is reporting that iraqi has suspended the mosul offensive after these attacks. what do you know about the accuracy of that report and what is the situation in terms of the response of the iraqi government? >> it was certainly rep

anywhere dash -- daesh show us its face they will be confronted by the coalition to defeat them. on the battlefield and in cyberspace and social media space. so, in terms of the tactics that are necessary to achieve that outside, that is why we meet wither important partners here and other important coalition members engaged directly in the military activities in iraq and syria. so, there's more discussion yet to be had regarding the way forward. what we discussed today were optionses that are available to us. they're difficult options. let me be very frank. these are not easy decisions. they're difficult choices that have to be made. this has been very good, the conversations today were very frank and very candid and we will be taking the conversations away. i know the foreign minister and the president and the prime minister will consider all of the exchanges we had today, but ultimately, turkey and the united states will stay together in the fight as part of the broader coalition to defeat daesh. >> i think the status and the longer term status of president assad will be decid

they have reta ke coalition airstrikes. retake in all of eastern mosul and have now made key gains in the western half of the city. they are now closing in on the densely populated old city. this area in red is still being held by the so—called islamic state. the united nations says it is stunned by the terrible loss of life caused by recent airstrikes. eyewitnesses say many victims are buried under the rubble. other residents say is is using civilians as human shields, but blamed indiscriminate airstrikes for many of the deaths. translation: blamed indiscriminate airstrikes for many of the deaths. translatiosz is iraqi and coalition aircraft is, is snipers positioned themselves on top of buildings. when these buildings are hit, everybody is killed, the sniper and the families who live than that. —— live there. jeremy bolan sent this report. thousands of people have arrived, have walked out of those parts of mosul still controlled by islamic state. they need food, they need water, they need shelter. it's a massive humanitar

i think part of it is the coalitions expectation is that -- the coalition worked very hard to get all of the community benefits into this agreement. it pushed the mayor. there was a first version of a deal that was not deemed sufficiently significant enough benefits for the community and with a lot of pressure, a better da was struck. our expectation is that every single promise that cpmc makes will be fulfilled. we don't need to express our gratitude for cpmc doing what it committed to do. there was an arm's length bargain offer what benefits cpmc would give to the community in return for authorization to operate the project. so we tend to focus on what hasn't been done and in terms of the lag, we are deeply troubled that three years after the coalition indicated, there's a serious problem at the diabetes center, we have the response that cpmc in may of 2017 will tell us what it did after a meeting in april 2016 with the department of public health. >> let me ask you this question. we're down to what i think are doing the scope of where we started, and you acknowledge a lot of progre

the coalition says it's taking reasonable precautions.7. reports suggest at least 100 people died. who's to blame though is complicated. here's bbc arabic‘s hadya al—alawi. their investigations about what happened on that day but it came back and said there have been air strikes on that area but they are not sure if that is what course of civilian deaths. we have to look at this from a certain view, i as we have heard are taking people into their homes that are keeping them as shields. the government is at a point now where it has two attack these homes because that is where these homes because that is where the fighters are hiding and it's not the fighters are hiding and it's not the case of that in all of it but thatis the case of that in all of it but that is where most of the civilian losses are happening. they are using these homes and mosques as shields. they can lead the government to them and they are attacking them. now we have seen the fight stagnate in the last couple of weeks and i think the reason is because the government wa

oliver: prime minister rutte will have to look for a new coalition. he lost his coalition partner. labour party was one of the biggest losers yesterday. one commentator said last night this was a massacre for them, so they almost disappeared from the political landscape year. it will become obligated because instead of two parties, there will be four parties in the new coalition, and we will see which party will be there. it is a likely scenario, several parties from the center-right, maybe another from outside the political spectrum. that is what makes it complicated. there will have to be a lot of compromise in the negotiation talks. a party that would be a partial talk would be the greens, a big winner of last night. they had the man announced he was interested in bringing ideas into the new government. last time there was a coalition, for coalition party government was in the 70's, and it took half a year before the talks were finished we will see what happens in months to come. brent: we know a lot of people have been saying geert wilders have a history of party loss, but they

it is quite difficult for the coalition forces at the moment.ight. if they go too fast, they risk killing people through strikes. if they go too slow, people continue to be brutalised at the hands of the so—called islamic state. it is a very difficult balancing act for the coalition forces at the moment. they have also said that they have launched these are strikes at the result —— request of the iraqi forces. it is still a murky situation, but the pentagon has admitted that they have launched the strikes and that more than 150 people have been killed. and in the meantime, it is still unclear precisely how many people may have died ? indeed. there have been different reports. it is hard for the bbc to verify how many people have been killed in these strikes. we have heard as many to —— as 200. many are still stuck under the rubble, children, women, they have not been able to get them out. it is difficult to tell how mini people have been stuck under the rubble, how many people were killed. across the front line continues to move. it is now curre

in a word -- shows its face on planet earth they will be confronted by the coalition to defeat on thebattlefield as well as cyberspace and the social media space. so in terms of the tactics that are necessary to achieve that outcome that is why we meet with our very important partners here as well as other very important coalition members who are engaged to wreck leann the military activities in iraq and syria so there is more discussion yet to be had regarding the way forward. what we discussed today for options that are available to us. they are difficult options let me be very frank. these are not easy decisions. their typical choices that have to be made so this has been very good. the conversations they were very frank and very good. we will be taking those conversations away. i know the foreign minister and the president and the prime minister they will consider all of the exchanges we had today but ultimately turkey and the united states will stay together in the fight as part of a broader coalition to defeat da'ish. i think the status of the longer-term status of president ass
