the iraqi prime minister has declared victory over islamic state saying the army house recapture the al nuri mosque in mosul which is where isis declared a caliphate three years ago but months of heavy fighting between the terrorists and the u.s. led coalition have devastated not only the city itself but also the lives of hundreds of thousands of locals. within minutes of mosul as liberation headlines right across the world were dominated by the recapturing all of the city iraq's prime minister is declaring it and. in mosul and at the caliphate iraq supposed claim as it takes mosul famous mosque iraqi forces say they've taken iconic a mosque in the heart of mosul that was destroyed by isis iraqi forces battle the last isis fighters in those. in what is undoubtedly a victory in ridding iraq of the scourge of ices it is worth remembering the effect on the people of mosul iraq as the of spent over a month there during the battle this is what he thought when he heard the news. liberation that's one way of putting it obliteration is another the goal was noble enough free thousands from is

both the army's increased strength and rate increases in our soldier's basic pay, housing allowance and subsistence account for this growth. i will now transition to the army's operations and maintenance appropriations. as i mentioned earlier, this is one area where we are requesting growth from the current year's budget. starting with the regular army, with 2018 budget request totals $38.9 billion and seeks to resource a more balanced readiness across the force. this readiness is more than being prepared for current day contingency operations but includes readiness for decisive action missions with the capability to conduct major combat operations. this fuller spectrum of readiness is reflected in the army's 19 combat training center rotations for which we are seeking funding. these rotations are focussed on decisive action training for both regular army and reserve components. the army's request also provides for critical funding for regional engagement activities with our al lice and strategic partners for training missions such as pacific pathways of which some of you are familiar w

the philippine army is having to battle through every house. 13 marines were killed in a 16 hour clashs are now, though, getting some help from a long—standing ally, the united states. to invite them in represents a change of heart by the philippine leader rodrigo duterte, who's spent most of his presidency criticising washington. according to an army spokesman, us troops are not fighting on the street, but providing technical support. the presence of the us counterparts facilitates the exchanges of intelligence, facilitates subject matter expert exchanges, and also provides training exchanges. despite government bombardment, the mounting insurgents have managed to hold out, even though there were unconfirmed reports that the two brothers who lead them have been killed. government deadlines for retaking the city have all come and gone. inside a rally, fires rage. inside marawi, fires rage. hundreds of civilians are still trapped. the militants hiding in bunkers and tunnels are thought to have hostages. even with american help, the battle to recapture this city will not be easy. it's be

that gave veterans money to go to college, money to buy a house, real material resources in the world, and the army up through 1948 is segregated. so again, military service remains largely a privilege and duty of whiteness. so what do we see happen to that class of indentured white laborers and soldiers? if the condition used to be one of rough evaluate, certain laws begin to raise whiteness up a notch and create increasingly a hierarchy in which the poor whites can feel themselves, well, we're not rich but we're also not down here. to create a sort of intermediate group between the planters and the slaves is very effective as a means of social control. and it's really -- the forbidding of arms to -- i say african-americans because there were free people of color around at this time. slavery, again, not terribly codified until later in the century. but it's the 1660s where things really increasingly get more locked down in terms of who can be a slave, who can not be a slave. slavery becomes a condition -- and suffice it to say, slavery becomes exclusively a condition of people codified as black. a
