Watching r. T. International live from moscow studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program is more than five months since iraqs second largest city was liberated from Islamic State and mosul now faces a long road to recovery and its latest report from the city morocco reveals the grim reality of life in the ruins. There are things you have to see to believe mosul is such a place the old city of mosul is by any measure a dead and miserable place more rubble than buildings and even that mixed with unexploded bombs and decaying bodies at the spite these people are coming back to live here and low self and not out of choice all the time to. Pick up a. Piece of. Good have any. And to be any of us all when in which. To do it and money. The u. S. Led coalition spent all in all more than a hundred thousand dollars strike hundreds and hundreds just in mosul the money required for just a few airstrikes could feed all the civilians in old mosul for months but no one has sent anything the local Garrison Division five shares its food with the locals and and showed up and handed out blankets but that eat no one else has helped then your mother oh no dont know how long i still believe not one of them but they dont want donna no one marked no no no. No no no not the not. This isnt life it is a grim existence imagine spending your days salvaging couple wire to feed your family at eleven years of age shes only one hundred year old get over it if you know the model to another citizen not. What else is there to do in mosul like the seventies and distill it dont look hollow question the future i mean that if you have a place that it can. Take these children have been through hell and you are going to have jani have to fight and to hell and of sia oh and you know god that you want it is why i do well madea minimum call galbi my own work done to you and closing your eyes wont help a lot in mosul the smell is always there to remind you how many people are still buried in the rubble here in the gulag michel if you want to come but you know. Why i. Thought this year roughly two thousand five hundred ninety nine times me thought i was. Alone in. The if not the smell then hunger if not that then the dormant bombs if not then isis. Five months since they declared victory scoots walked around with pistols in their hands drawn and cocked ready for isis hideaways it will. Turn up with no eyes. Of. God at the. Other it will take you no longer than a few minutes to find isis flags or propaganda weapons ammunition or unexploded bombs bodies tunnels this is one of the tunnels that isis used to move in and around the city for how you did. You would be no. Matter. The world has forgotten mosul its out of fashion no longer trendy and locals have a well founded suspicion that this was never about saving them. A recent investigation by the Associated Press found that up to eleven thousand civilians were killed during the battle for mosul that is ten times higher than earlier estimates a third of those were killed by iraqi and u. S. Led airstrikes by the red cross as regional spokesperson for the middle east told us more about the situation in mosul. People believe that once the battles are over that the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people who fled mosul and left their homes are able to come back this is extremely wrong we are seeing the footage now on the screen how can they possibly go back when the city has been almost wiped off the face of the earth round five hundred to seven hundred thousands of people who fled mosul are unable to go back because primarily there is extreme and grave danger to their lives when it comes to unexploded remnants of war bombs are everywhere there is no access to clean water in the city there is no Health Care Access our part as the International Committee of the red cross we have started working with the medical facilities in the city and around the city supporting them with medical supplies and and medicine needed to treat the people all the humanitarian organizations present in iraq and working in mosul today are able to deal with a humanitarian catastrophe that the city has witnessed not one single humanitarian organization can really bring what is needed today to most of. The Russian Foreign minister has raised concerns of the u. S. Approach to the north Korean Nuclear crisis so the secretary of state Rex Tillerson by phone according to a statement from the fund ministry.

S. Sanctioned a two top north korean officials who were allegedly involved in the countrys Ballistic Missile program but in the phone call for mr lavrov mentioned the u. S. Stepping up its military preparations in the region and he was unlikely referring to recent military exercises and even south korea has suggested postponing military drills until after the olympics but this proposal was swiftly rejected by secretary tillerson. It is possible for south korea and the u. S. To review the possibility of postponing the exercises have made such a suggestion to the u. S. And the u. S. Is currently reviewing them for these exercises a bit old boy for many years im not aware of any plans to change what is scheduled fiery rhetoric between washington and pyongyang has kept the International Community on its toes for quite some time now but lets take a quick look at a recap the year of strategic patience. With the north korean regime has failed United States is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies our suspected leader kim didnt own what it said that the u. S. Would be unhappy to witness north Korea Strategic power on its Independence Day and called for frequently sending big and small new packages they will be met with fire and fury. Like the world has never see. But if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. Little rocket man rocket fuel for the. These are copy russia has repeatedly offered to mediate the situation but weve been hearing mixed messages from the trumpet ministration so its unclear whether this phone call will make any difference whatsoever but it definitely seems like quite the positive direction.

We dont care just about everything. Haley has done since assuming pause as being contrary to the spirit of the u. N. Charter has been quiet and diplomatic to the very notion of diplomacy complete packed list tight for listeners. Without any sense of nuance saw discount or cool language of threat and punishment use against sovereign nations and so forth this really hurts the uses image and credibility war why United States is not helping its by having someone representing the United Nations who saw undiplomatic and fall into the spirit of the United Nations and explosion as a major pipeline in libya a story animal still to come.

Welcome back to the program signed a Coalition Air strike has hit a busy market in yemen killing at least forty people just to warn you the following video contains disturbing images dozens more civilians were wounded in the bombing raid in the west of the country many of the victims a children saudi arabia launched its intervention in yemen back in march twenty fifth to support the government against shia who the rebels the campaign has claimed thousands of lives. Ballot care law professor of International Law at Georgetown University believes the u. S. Government should end its support for the side the military campaign in yemen. Common crimes are being committed against defenseless. People. Market absolutely unconscionable washington should be more concerned it bears more responsibility than other countries why because it is so close to saudi arabia because it is the souls of weapons that are rules in yemen and because it can go much more.

Now an app which lets you know if your home is being snooped on has been developed by american whistleblower surveillance campaigner Edward Snowden it works on Android Devices and can spot shadow a electronic intrusion but as honey shifts ethics planes it might also reveal a few things you might want to keep quiet about. Edward snowden has set out to prove hes capable of much more than leaking n. S. A. Secrets hes keeping up the fight against digital surveillance and this time its in the form of an app hes created a personal Security System in the hope of empowering journalists and activists to secretly monitor their possessions and it has a very fitting name meat haven. Makes it harder to. Citizens raids search. Without getting. The streets kind of. More people watching crime down. Well i. Say lets take a closer look you simply install haven on any Android Phone and your device tends into a Surveillance System it works by the app detecting changes in the environment using sentences already built in say you left your phone and attended in your bedroom and an intruder breaks in well first of all it uses the camera when itll instantly Start Recording and may catch the unwanted visitor of course you could also set a trap for a nosy partner snooping through messages secondly the built in microphone will pick up any conversations to be private while thats great for recording intruders voices which you also be tempted to leave it somewhere you shouldnt in all cases of a breach youll receive encrypted a lets sober up helps keep you safe that it can be exploited i can have a good site if theres Domestic Abuse going on for example and you want to record proof and then go to the police they can have a bad side because you might feel youre being stalked by a jealous ex spouse or a jealous spouse even theres a potential i presume for it to be hijacked as well tickets were able to enjoy it which is i think has closed bits of software within it so theres always a plus this month with these new technologies of course that said Edward Snowden himself has always been notoriously careful about the technology around him. Famously asking journalists to place their phones in hotel fridges to stop the oil would be snooping so its uncertain whether this app will create a physical space you can trust or make you more power annoyed of the device lying next year be aware of the spy next door.
