it is the right of not only the civilian palestinian population, but all civilian populations, in any globe, have the right to peacefully protest against certain issues that are influencing them in a very negative way. that is also including the palestinian civilian population in the occupied territory, including in the gaza strip. ambassador, things have escalated in the last week or so, as you know. last weekend we saw roughly 200 rockets and mortars fired toward israeli territory from positions inside gaza. 0ne israeli town, sderot, was hit. in return, the israelis used their warplanes to bomb targets across gaza. what is your message to those inside gaza who resume the rocket and mortar fire? well, first of all, i am not so sure that this cycle of violence was initiated by the palestinian side. i think it was initiated by the israeli aircraft and their bombardment by their artillery, in which a number of children were killed, at least four, and more than 65 have been injured, through this violence from the israeli side. and i believe that — you know, maybe one or two from the isra

25 civilianized -- >> it includes those positions that we believe can be civilianized, yes. >> and you identified 25 of those. >> yes. i think the other day you came and said it could be possibly 68. this doesn't include 68. >> no, it does not. >> thank you. >> supervisor yee? >> thank you. just training academy classes that's sponsored by the airport, is paid by the airport. i get that part. and then i also -- is it my understanding that any officers assigned to the airport, i don't know how many you have, but it's also paid by the airport. correct? >> correct. >> so, those numbers actually they are signed to the airport aren't -- that's not part of the 1971. >> you are correct. that is not a part -- >> that is additional. >> ok. thank you. and i'm going to say thank you for your presentation and giving us more information to go on. in looking at your budget. but in the first slide that you showed -- that you showed last week in regards to what you would do with 250 additional officers over the next four years, again i don't know if these are the right thing or the wrong thing and it

talking about civilianizing those positions. that is not something that someone is going to be able to come up with tomorrow. but over the process of the next year, i think we've given clear direction that we've seen 68 positions, and there may be more, that we can civilianize and might be less, but that dialogue has already started. you know, looking at staffing. and really getting a firm idea what that number is that -- that that analysis will take place over the next year. these are all things that can deal with the number of officers we need, the other 150 we need in the out years or the 100 that i don't think anybody would disagree that we need now. i have not heard anybody say we have an adequate amount of police officers on the streets and the decisions that we take today will influence this year and next year. we have 150 -- and the economy may look dramatically different two-years from now. so, the way in which we analyze that second set of -- that traunch of officers in that later two years of however budget, we can br

by civilianization, is that correct? >> correct. the budget recommendation has 25 positions that we have identified that can be civilianized, so those officers will return to operations once the civilianization occurs. >> and -- and the 25 you identified is separate from the 68 or 58 that you mentioned? >> yes. >> supervisor yee: what was the number? i'm sorry. >> yes. >> supervisor yee: what was the correct number? >> i think it was approximately 68. >> supervisor yee: in which you're going to look at it or you're looking at it? >> yes. >> supervisor yee: where are you with that? >> so we just got the report, and we agreed that those are positions that we can definitely look at it and evaluate if those positions are appropriate for civilianization, but we just received the report, as you did, in the past week. >> supervisor yee: yes. so let's say 50 of them will eventually be civilianized; that in these 50 officers that are currently not deployed in police work, i guess, would be available to do some of the things that

we do everything we can to minimize the risk to civilian life from u.k. strikes it is therefore deeply regrettable that strike resulted in an unintentional civilian fatality the u.k. drone strikes within syria have killed one civilian that's the code of the official statistics obviously anyone the knows about drone strikes knows that that figure is absolutely ludicrous no one that i know finds that credible at all the u.k. government claims that only one civilian has been killed in a drone strike is insane no one believes that because it's low risk it means they don't have to there's no impetus on reporting it so there's no coverage in the mainstream media and there's certainly very little coverage from that from the likes of the b.b.c. here in the u.k. there are various sources really groups in the u.k. that are trying to monitor drone strikes but it obviously is very very difficult but the problem is growing definitely and it's it is a worry and i bring you right up to date thanks staying without international updates coming your way at the top of the h

of one of my friends said we do not record we do not count civilian casualties we do not count collateral damage if there is believed to be very rare on the ability they respond no no no no no no no no no on the first series in parliament it was absolutely clear the m.p.'s came forward said we have no records we have no evidence and the reason is we do not count them if we kill somebody overseas whether it's iraq afghanistan all syria it's up to the surviving family to sue the british or american government to get us to change the code on the right in the person that they are and i didn't really understand you haven't and guess what it doesn't happen we have tens of thousand civilian casualties we don't even tell me to trust the system because the system is broken. shabir what's your opinion on the word little italy in terms of targeting brits who've gone abroad to fight for islamic state is it acceptable to be a drone strike. i just want to sort of move on to a little bit different as you know in the last few days over four hundred white helmets activist in syria has been taken out under

mostly women and children our team works twenty four hours a day whether a civilian or a fighter we give the body a number well this number is over a thousand now and that's just to the three recently discovered mass graves it's a race against time and the regular one there are more time passes the harder it is to identify the bodies as they rot in the ground nameless families help us identify the civilians by telling us what the person was wearing were by describing a ring or watch where it had to be why didn't they file a lot of bodies through the hair because it doesn't disintegrate and mass graves of raka highlight not only i solved monstrosity but also what rights groups call america's denial in its responsibility for the city's tragedy the coalition has acknowledged a mere twenty three civilian deaths resulting from the more than thirty thousand or two early rounds and third rule thousand strikes it long. it's a rock a city the blustery denials a contradicted by the lived reality of the hundreds of civilians there even contradicted by their own partners on the ground looking a

welcome back you are watching r t international the bodies of more than twelve hundred civilians the majority of them women and children have been found in three mass graves in the syrian city of raka by local authorities it is claimed they were killed during the bombing of the area by the u.s. led coalition and he goes on off as commentary. tobar will mark exactly one year since i saw defeat in their caliphate self-proclaimed capital rocker and months after the u.s. coalition's victory restored or freed of torment the syrian city is still not these are the latest pictures from one of three recently discovered mars graves these birrell sites contain more than a thousand bodies. and there are three hundred to four hundred bodies in this mass grave three to four catacombs are completely full of did bodies grief and despair still has the syrian city reeling as relatives time and time again have to identify their loved ones. we excluded the body of only one of my sisters the other four remain missing i don't know where are the birds as they were burned by my uncle now we're looking for t

by the lived reality of the hundreds of civilians there even contradicted by their own partners on the ground looking at these pictures hard to see any real recovery from the post-war horror at all it's even difficult to tell them apart and just in case these were taking only a couple of months ago and these are back from two thousand and seventeen u.s. led forces came pounded the city with some thirty thousand artillery rounds proclaim victory and then washington apparently chose to simply forget rocca you know the u.s. coalition caused the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water supply in clearing the rubble the most that definitely can wash out of that we were directly targeted by the coalition there recognizance craft filmed us it was a low altitude it was very clear there were no terrorists in your area but there were kids playing in the streets and we were collecting water and i knew that of that i knew that if the aircraft bomb is a force for as much targets everyone it is not hidden i think the coalition is bo

and that's what we're saying now is saying syrian civilians. being left at the border of israel on the border of georgia while the white house mates are again being given exceptional progress through those two countries and all of. the countries that are supposed to going to house them. now just to point out the reports that it was initially eight hundred white helmets members were evacuated that has now been reduced to just over four hundred but you are right that we also have reports saying that. there's also hundreds of militants and their families being moved in to the north well the international coalition continue to help allies they're losing ground in syria then. i think that's a that's a very good question i mean i think we've seen the majority of militant and armed forces and i was include of course knows for a front al qaeda or one juror number three brand saying monica is that have been moved up to we know that it live is now shall we say largely. ready for a liberation campaign as we've seen there vacuum ration of civilians from fo
