but the reality is, daesh is going to be gone. it's not going to be a threat as a stated anybody within weeks if not months. then we will be faced with this awful situation in syria and iraq, with the threat from russia and iran and don't think that this agreement in hamburg when very far towards solving that. and we're going to have to rely on turkey, rely on george, reliant israel, rely on agosta allies and rely on the people on the ground some of whom fight with each other out and qatari mac, turks and ypg but want to slip this all up. i'm optimistic. in terms of the kurdistan regional government, turkey for very good reasons, like the united states is a post independent but we do not want to break up iraq. iraq is even more important it like it is a reserved can two-thirds of saudi arabia answer yes. so the turkish position not just from its domestic standpoint but from its regional standpoint, even if economic future a as a trading partner, a transit to iraq. iraq is united country is really important for turkey. so the turki

i know that the deputy commander of the international anti—daesh coalition has condemned a report inirresponsible and he has emphatically stated that we should not forget that it is daesh who are deliberately killing civilians. sir michael fallon said he had not read the report, but said raf airstrikes were lawful and there were robust procedures designed to minimise the risk of civilians casualties. i have seen no evidence as of yet that an raf strike has involved civilian casualties. i wait to see that evidence being produced and if anybody has any evidence then it needs to be forwarded to us as indeed other organisations like air awards have been doing throughout the conflict and we are ready to investigate, but otherwise i would urge extreme caution in the handling of the amnesty report. an snp mp voiced concern at what he said had been a dramatic rise in civilian casualties. injune longer has been a 52% increase in comparison to the month of may‘s estimated somewhere between 529 744, according to air war is who he mentions in response to the shadow minister, of the 1350 uk perso

victory comes after three years of unimaginable oppression by daesh.s, forced marriages, destruction of iraqi's ancient heritage. it comes after nine months of heavy fighting by the iraqi security forces who faced brutal daesh tactics, including the use of human shields and suicide bombers. we must, though, be realistic about the challenges ahead. almost 50,000 homes have been destroyed. although 200,000 people have returned to their homes in east mosul, over 700,000 people are still displaced and in need of continued humanitarian assistance. explosive remnants of this war will be a problem for many, many months to come. i would like to pay tribute to the iraqi security forces and the people of mosul who have shown remarkable courage in the face of daesh's continued oppression. i would like to also pay particular tribute to the role of the uk government in its important work to provide critical aid and emergency support. the uk's continued role here in the coming days and weeks, and the significant funding commitments announced by the secretary of stat

the reality is daesh is going to be gone. it is not going to be a threat to anybody within weeks, if not months. then we will be faced with this awful situation in irysyria and iraq with the threat from russia and iran, and don't think with the agreement in hamburg went far to resolving it. we have tree lie on turkey, rely on vooes, rely on our gulf state allies, rely on the people on the ground, some of whom fight with each other. but we are going to have to sort this all out. i'm omt mystic in terms of the kurdistan regional government, turkey went with the united states as opposed to independence. we we don't want to break up iraq. look at the oil reserves, two-thirds of saudi arabia and syria is. so the turkish position not just from domestic situation but even its regional standpoint and even as a trading partner, as a unite country is really important for turkey. the turkish position is understandable and create. one caveat. if much of iraq falls under the control of iran the way lebanon has, on the margins this might b

international report on all the abuses committed against the daesh recruits.t is important to show to any, to anyone who may be attracted by the romance of the caliphate that they can have a pretty dramatic, pretty horrific end at the hands of the iraqi army. hopefully, in that sense, that kind of propaganda works but i think we have not seen the end of daesh in the region. i think there is still quite a lot of work to do, still, even in iraq. any reasons to be hopeful? yes, yes. there are reasons to be hopeful. on mosul i think we're going to find out that some horrendous things happened there and i think it will make all of us feel very, very queasy. but, yes, there is no doubt that on balance this feels like hope. thank you very much to all of you for being with us. thank you as well forjoining us for the programme. we return at the same time next week. from all of us here, goodbye. hello there. some real ups and downs in the week ahead, but firstly up, because we will see a lot of sunshine on monday. some showers, and the wind is quite blustery in northern
