polar sort of alliance with a superpower multi-polar sets of alliances will be more beneficial if maliki has been very appraising of russia's role in the middle east of course russia is closely involved with the syrian government tackling isolette other terrorist groups just across the northern border in syria and maliki himself said that if it wasn't for russia's syria campaign the map of the whole region may well have been withdrawn may well have been redrawn rather with the assad government collapsing eisel very much gaining a foothold which of course now it's losing in in syria itself so very much an interesting interview from maliki it'll be interesting to see how that development goes after his visit to moscow and holkins reporting for us there thank you. it went to other stories now the u.k.'s international trade secretary liam fox has accused the b.b.c. of willfully ignoring positive news on the briggs it process and that claim came in a letter to the broadcasters director general however he has already voiced such concerns before. in the newspaper or listen to the radio t.v. the

the iraqi vice president nouri al maliki has said his country's people will not tolerate foreign military bases there adding he's already warned the u.s. against such a move. and activists in the french president's party on the move demanded legal action claiming they were probably consulted on quote undemocratic changes to the statutes. it's two o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from austria with me and. welcome to the program the u.k.'s international trade secretary has accused the b.b.c. of willfully ignoring positive news on the brig's it process the claim came in the letter to the broadcasters director general however he has already voiced his concerns before. tommy open a newspaper or listen to the radio t.v. the story is done very negatively it almost is going to be impossible for us to do these trade deals does he feel that we spoke wrong and undermines the work that he's doing yeah well mr speaker it does appear that some elements of our media would rather see britain feel than see brits succeed. and i i cannot recall a single time in recent times

course had close political economic ties to iraq since weld way back into the soviet era but what maliki was talking about here was more than just a close diplomatic presence he meant specifically an economic and a military presence as well something unprecedented really at least in the modern history of russia iraq relations or model for. iraq has historic ties with russia and now we need russia's political as well as military presence to restore balance in the region in the interests of the countries nations living there now what exactly does maliki mean by restoring a balance while the key bone of contention here is the u.s. military presence the presence of bases in iraq they've been there since the two thousand and three invasion for a decade and a half now and many in iraq including those in government have grown increasingly uncomfortable with this presence maliki has been one of most vocal critics indeed in reference to the opening of a new bases in iraq a new u.s. base. he said many iraqis view them as occupants that their presence doesn't benefit anyone and effectively the soon

terrorist groups a russian presence in syria has been routinely criticized by many western powers maliki though sees russia's involvement in a very different light. without the russian stance the whole region would have crumbled the map would have looked totally different without russia's approach to the syrian problem which differs from america's syria regime would have followed that would have energized the terrorists led to a change map of the region and it would have led to baghdad's fall. i was arsal seemingly on its last legs all eyes are on what's next for iraq and despite a string of military victories for government forces the battle for a united country is far from over well if the split between the sunis and the shias remains in place and one group of states supports the sunnis and another the she is it will contribute to the creation of a new eisel with new ideas new faces and new franks so far the main efforts in iraq are focused on the short term goal of defeating i so but with a whole patchwork of regional internal conflicts it will be the longer term wider problem is that

burey maliki is meeting president putin instead petersburg on day three of his four day trip here to russia and the meetings that he had yesterday were with sergey lavrov the foreign minister to discuss what about russian cooperation with iraq and how that they can develop relations further in particular spheres like economic space the political balance there and also in the military sphere in the league he called upon russia yesterday to increase its presence in iraq iraq has historic ties with russia and now we need russia's political as well as military presence to restore balance in the region in the interests of the countries and nations living there. well as we're hearing there russia and iraq seem to have very good relations with in the meantime iraq's relations with the u.s. haven't been so good leaky is a known and vocal critic of the american bases there and also how he's forced how uncomfortable the iraqi people are with the american presence he's also said that he's concerned about how the americans could also claim credit for the liberation in mosul against isis which he

and when maliki -- after we left in 2011 the first thing maliki did was put one of his cronies back in charge of the national police, replace -- put the old commanders back in, and the national police went back to death squads and incompetence the way it was before we were there. we also did some interesting things at the coin behind the wire. at the intention camps -- detention camps. about 20,000 reconcilables, they were locked away in a part of the camp that was or very dangerous. but general stone, major general stone, a marine general who was one of the smartest guys i ran into among a lot of smart guys set up a program where what you'd do is you teach the moderate prisons you identify how to read, bring in a moderate imam to teach them to read the quran, give them job kills and eventually release them back to their tribes with a pledge that they'll stay loyal to the government. there's also some legal stuff involved in there as well, but the bottom line is when i was over there, they had sent back -- they had released a little over 2,000 prisoners like that. two had come back. an

until -- maliki took leaders away after we left. but i think that was a police but we did better. this is general ha sane who reform ares qed national police and fires brigade and secretary shiite replaces them with moderate leaders, national police are real asset but when we left -- and when maliki after we left in threrch the first thing maliki did was take general and put him in charge of border post and one back in charge of the national police replace and put old commanders back in and national police went back and confidence the way it was before we were there. we also did interesting things at buka at the -- cone behind the wire and 10,000 detainees that i was there. about 5,000 irreconcilable a lot to weigh with and a part of the camp that was very dangerous. but general stone major general stone a marine general there within of the startest guys i ran into and a lot of smart guys -- set up a program what you would do is you -- teach the moderate prisoners here how to read. you bring in a moderate to reach the qur'an and moderate form of islam and give them job skills. and

now let's get to the specifics there is the chapter titled very clear called collective division maliki. but -- divisions. so he has for case studies over the insane compensated they were a remarkable business and. >> even-steven helmsley and then to brothers again they have never heard of these people and david from the discovery communications who is your favorite? those numbers are astronomical. 142 million, helmsley got 102 million in just one year >> is not like a wet through a lot of research. i just chose the executive but as you say nobody has heard of them. it is quite serious the have heard of him. [laughter] it wasn't like this was dave ruth. so as i go through this a couple of them missed their own targets badly and the companies had to adjust and they could digest and with those that were far beyond his control was an avalanche on mount everest. [laughter] of all places? this may have interfered with the film schedules so it is not his fault. [laughter] but i have yet to see a case where a company reduced earnings recover as they created sunshine. [laughter] >> he did some

the sunnis looked at isis and al-maliki. and they decided isis was the least of the two evils and explains how isis managed to sweep through a third of iraq. if the government of iraq had been formed in a better way, if america had actually brokered the formation of the government, iraq would have set a model for other countries in the region, and you would not have isis rising up. so the situation in syria could have been a very different than it is today. what we are seeing in the middle east, it is not really an issue of borders. it is much more an issue of contested politics, failed politics, and broken governance. the crisis of political authority, the crisis of governance. david: emma argues this systematically in her book. i really encourage people to read the book. "the unraveling." because she makes a case she just made orally. again to be aou little contrarian. i was talking about your book "the wise men," and this legacy of american leadership in foreign policy with a mutual friend of ours, bob merry, who has writ

the iraqi vice president nuri al maliki has said his country's people will not tolerate foreign militarybases there and he's already warned the u.s. against. italy says it will not be threatened by its neighbors over border control that as the country struggles with a huge influx of migrants we hear from a local mayor who says his town's breaking point. and our t. speaks exclusively to a man with a sieve.

isis was ultimately a creation of iran and through its surrogate's maliki in baghdad. genocide in damascus. oppressing the sunni arab population if we turn this area over to iran after the fighting against isis is over. will see something like isis again as a former us ambassador to iraq what is your advice now. to the trump administration about us military of rules in iraq. we need to keep some training troops on iraq we need to stay in the enclaves we've are. liberated in syria and wait out this situation work with the russians pressure them if necessary. but essentially contain iran. how key is the question of reconciliation between sunni and shia and wedges pressure on iran play into that? it is key but as somebody who spent years doing it you gotta get the regional. equation it right and that includes iran that includes saudi arabia and turkey. before you can work at the local level to get tribes and communities to agree to put aside thousand year old dispute shop and are we haven't gone that. far yet and how worried are you about islamic state fighters he might j

that is important because haider al—abadi is under pressure from nouri al—maliki, his predecessor, muchs sunni community, and the kurds, thinking of demanding a referendum for independence in september of this year. much of mosul has been left in rubble after this, how do they go about rebuilding the city? international forces are not going to come in and help like that, the americans have spent enormous sums of money in trying to rebuild iraq, u nsuccessfully. of money in trying to rebuild iraq, unsuccessfully. they are not going to contribute very much, i don't think. apologies, we have lost the line to the professor. but we got a good picture there of exactly what is happening in mosul and what is go to happen for the future of that city now. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining us tonight are the broadcaster penny smith and the journalist james rampton. stay with us for that. the parents of charlie gard — the ii—month old who has a fatal genetic disorder — hande

he once said he suffered terribly from a the maliki of biblical to the odd -- bibliomania. so why does he buy books? and oddly even a with very detailed accounts if he was traveling even putting a freeze on the axle of his carriage or revise a mountain or a ticket to a play every expenditure is recorded for his entire life you will see he will record every cent they never seemed to have added that all up. [laughter] but he is so deeply in debt. >> sometimes that is a 20th century problem. >> he was in keeping track of it that much so when he went to the american minister of france he thought he would live on his salary and everything made at monticello would pay for his debt but then congress cut his salary so they don't give him any money for his house of what we would call the embassy so dealing with aristocrats with diplomats from spain so he rents the house no drapes or anything said he had to buy everything including the cooking utensils and out of his pocket when he feels i representing the new nation i cannot live under a bridge if i have diplomats in my house for di

al which had been defeated, and basically said, we will protect sunnis from the regime of nouri al-maliki. isis was theded last of the two evils and explains how isis managed to sweep and through a third of iraq. if the government of iraq had been formed in a better way, iraq would have set a model for other countries in the region and you would not have isis rising up. syria could be very different than what we are seeing today. what we are seeing in the middle east is not really an issue of borders. it is an issue of competitive politics. a crisis of governance. argues this is the medically in her book. i really encourage people to read the book. she makes a case she just made orally. i'm again asking you to be a little contrarian. i was talking about your book "the wise men," and this legacy of american leadership in foreign policy with a mutual friend of ours, bob, who has written wonderful histories, a polk, butf james k. was deeply skeptical about the intervention, he thought, of american power. conservative, but very much limited government. and i said, bob, you ought to about this

that privatize surveillance equipment so it was all love it and you can talk about the intersection maliki that is a wonderful phrase the african american legal scholar and feminist who has given us this term that we are using that standing rock was life sometimes it is uncomfortable to talk about it as they lived experience of how that plays out. >> you also bring up in the standing rock chapter that's it was about winning the right to the lan to do what you want with their property also a different way of living together and how this change the people under the leadership of the indigenous people and that profound sense of connection to a the land you think this will carry-on or have an impact?. >> everybody that was there was change i think. standing rock also live by the the title because as soon as the victory was one to stop of pipeline it was temporary but with is not over but they won the important legal victory so what trump had said what they were doing was illegal. but as soon as the ruling came down immediately everybody wanted to say the real work starts to turn a the reservat

. >> let's get to the specifics with a great chapter my favorite is collective delusion maliki. -- delusions'. but to be insane the overcompensated that they are paid these sums just for doing their jobs but of remarkable businessmen but then to get to others we have never heard of these sova who is your favorite?. >> the numbers are astronomical. >> making 142 million, 102 million, 14 5 million, that is just one year. >> isn't like we said to is the most egregious? these are the four people. and it is quite astonishing but if i told you to say yes , i heard of them. but none of them had a particularly good year. but as i go through this, a couple of them even this their own targets and then they had to adjust the earnings. but my favorite to adjust for those things far beyond his control. one was an avalanche on mount everest. [laughter] with discovery communications this may have interfered with the film schedule i have yet to see a case where a company reduced earnings. [laughter] >> you have to read mitt he added some programs like dirty jobs, and a river monsters. and then with job crea

i mentioned that maliki is in moscow speaking with putin.ppened after the iraqi sunnis disrespecting the and isis had room to grow. >> one example where did work was the awakening movement. when locals stood up and took responsibility for their towns. charlie: it was a decision in their interest to knock out al qaeda at that time, because al qaeda had practices that were contrary to the wishes of people. michael: the reason they were successful is he was able to convince them that they would have a role in the future of their country. at the end of the day, they didn't get that. it will be really hard to sell that idea to them again. charlie: is the prime minister of iraq prepared to do that? he says he is. michael: i think with a sufficient amount of u.s. leadership, it is possible to get there. but without u.s. leadership, it is not. charlie: you come to the issue of u.s. leadership. how happyalked about you are that the president is willing to push back, but you hear in the region that u.s. leadership is not there beyond what happened at

the maliki government did not do that and that was a very strong friend of iran. >> prime minister abadi is a strong friend of iraq. >> rose: true. >> every government in iraq thankfully has been a strong friend of iran and this is our advice to all of them. that iraq needs to be an inclusive government with all segments of the iraq population represented in the government. iran maintains extremely good relations with all segments of the iraqi population. we have very good relations with the speaker of the parliament who is a sunni and basically -- >> rose: you do not deny, do you, or i'm asking that isis got support from sunni tribes because they felt like they had no voice in baghdad. >> well, isis got support from people who believe as i said these are the result of disenfranchisement. so i wouldn't disagree with you that the perception of not having the voice in the society leads people to join these extremist groups. that is why i said in the beginning we need a comprehensive strategy to deal with these extremist groups and that comprehensive strategy includes certainty giving a voi

as for president vladimir putin, he's now meeting with iraqi vice president nuri al maliki today.e may hear from him later. the main issue is focusing on the sanctions, the debates taking place in washington and the impact that they may have on the already strained relationship between the united states and russia. gayle? >> got it. charlie d'agata reporting from moscow. thank you. >>> this morning we are hearing from survivors who were packed inside a sweltering tractor trailer with no air conditioning and no water. they were in this 18-wheeler as it traveled to san antonio, texas. one survivor linked a mexican drug cartel to the smuggling operation. ten immigrants have died. dozens are in the hospital today. james bradley, the truck driver, faces charges that could result in the death penalty. mark strassmann is in san antonio where the truck was found. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. survivors have described their desperation and panic riding in the back of that pitch black overheated trailer. the special agent in charge i talked to did not want to get into detai

we will nuri al-maliki with the nur -- we will be working with the nurse practitioners and schools as well. we track through our overdose website and our regular performance management meetings. number of people receiving the treatment so we are able to look at the increases and through our prescription drug monitoring program, track the number of wavered physicians actively prescribing. so we are seeing increases in the number of people receiving the treatment through these efforts. >> i would assume that further expansion of data 2,000 waiver even in higher patient caps or additional classes of practitioners prescribing would have a positive impact on access to treatment in rhode island. >> i would absolutely agree with that. i'm not sure there's enough time for us to document how much increase that will result in. but yes, i do agree and i thank you for your efforts with that legislation. >> our pleasure. and to all of our panelists, what barriers do you face in trying to recruit practitioners to become wavered data 2,000 practitioners? >> start with the lieutenant governor, please

because that was not the same army that we had trained back in 2007 so successful during the surge, maliki had to rebuild that army last couple years yeah, a big vierth retaking second largest city in iraq but isis is not defeated they took a small town 40 miles south of this yesterday, they will be able to conduct little bit attacks in rural areas villages they will be able to continue to do terrorist operations, and they have expanded in the 30 countries, still out there, motivating inspiring people to kill her own citizens comprehensively this is good for iraqis hats off to millionaires who have helped them there general townsend one of the best operational consumers commandeders we have had we have get to bring down that haven as well. >> good victory for iraqis how does iran fit i into this, iran is an enemy of isis, too, does this victory at all strengthen iran's hands does it look at reach across --ish ak, into a syria lebanon? >> that is a great question, tir rainians are dominant threat in the region not isis president said as much when he met with 55 leaders of the nation in midd

we will nuri al-maliki with the nur -- we will be working with the nurse practitioners and schools as well. we track through our overdose website and our regular performance management meetings. number of people receiving the treatment so we are able to look at the increases and through our prescription drug monitoring program, track the number of wavered physicians actively prescribing. so we are seeing increases in the number of people receiving the treatment through these efforts. >> i would assume that further expansion of data 2,000 waiver even in higher patient caps or additional classes of practitioners prescribing would have a positive impact on access to treatment in rhode island. >> i would absolutely agree with that. i'm not sure there's enough time for us to document how much increase that will result in. but yes, i do agree and i thank you for your efforts with that legislation. >> our pleasure. and to all of our panelists, what barriers do you face in trying to recruit practitioners to become wavered data 2,000 practitioners? >> start with the lieutenant governor, please

>> we have an administration that isn't paranoid like maliki.not going to be easy, but you're absolutely right. this war isn't just about kinetics. it's not just about body bags and theater. at the end of the day, everybody has to come together and answer a very simple question. do you think your future, the future of your children and your grandchildren will be better served by an iraq that sticks together or by maintaining sectarian violence? and i think the answer to that question whether you're shi'a, sunni, whether you're from one clan or another tribe, i think that question is easy. it's what the founding fathers said; right? we stick together, or we hang together. steve: exactly. dr. gorka, when we saw the president's tweet, we thought when he's talking about the big strategy against isis, maybe he's referring to these unconfirmed reports, at this point, that al-baghdadi, the guy who runs isis is dead. there are some news accounts out there that he is. what does the federal government know about that? >> well, right now, we take any repor
