A million. Paying Group Despite soros being accused of meddling in british politics he says hes proud to be the cause im a proud supporter of best foot britain a group that wants britain to remain a member of the European Union i consider brics it a tragic mistake well soros initially invested four hundred fellows and politicians in a campaign called the best for britain in the hope of drumming up support for a second referendum on the u. K. Status in the e. U. A wave of criticism followed but the investor responded by donating one hundred thousand more work a sociology professor from Kids University in the u. K. Claims he overheard soros and is associates bragging about their meddling in politics in numerous countries we spoke to them and he says he heard the conversation frank furedi. Do you know of course of the conversation they were going on about how much influence theyve been able to exercise over events in the arab spring in cairo they were very proud of the role game played into newsier during the syria role there they went on about the create how much impact they were able to make on some of the demonstrators at the time and then finally they ended up by. Going to their Office Critical for a very Important Role in the case of libya and the overthrow of the gadhafi regime and i kind of regarded the conversation as you know a bit of boasting you know where people get around a table they are you sure. An advisor to the polish president has come under fire for what some are calling and to us really comments he was defending a new law that prohibits punish people from being held responsible for the crimes of the nazi regime against the jews and to post sentiments in israel comes from the feeling of shame and the passivity of the jews too in the holocaust. The new law also makes it illegal to refer to nutsy death camps situated in the country as polish ones those violating the law could face severe punishment of up to three years in jail and the polish president s adviser went even further defending the legislation. The religion of the holocaust has become a symbolic shield for their country which is used by israel to create for itself a special position in many places in the world a shield which is meant to protect israel against any criticism many jews in gauged in denunciation collaboration during the war i think israel has still not work to throw. More than three million jewish people lived in poland before the Second World War most of them were killed during the conflict the ice which birkenau camp which was built in poland during the nazi occupation saw around one million jews lose their lives there columnist for Newsweek Magazine mark shulman told me the new law will influence poland to relations with other e. U. Member states. The problem with the law is not so much the fact that says you cant say polish death camps but the fact the law says you cannot diminish the role of the nazis which means that if you say that the poles had some part of it you are violating the war and by all accounts while the nazis were the ones who were ninety percent responsible for the holocaust and what happened in poland clearly the poles were involved and clearly there were cases where the poles were part of the part of the problem and so its a real problem of course the question of freedom of speech as well freedom of people to study the holocaust to talk about the holocaust and not to mention the fact that thousands and thousands of israelis go every year to visit many of them High Schoolers and the question is when their guides go to poland do they have to be afraid to speak their truth and speak of what went on in poland i think this will have an effect on poles relations with the western europe at this point i mean its part of a series of actions that the polish government has taken their member of the e. U. And yet theyre testing the e. U. And its ability to accept a much more nationalistic government in poland. U. S.

Ortiz. Reporting from school thank you. Nearly four months after its liberation from Islamic State people from the syrian city of iraq are slowly returning to whats left of their homes but many buildings in the city remain riddled with lung millions on booby traps locals say theyve been left to take on the reconstruction by themselves. It. Was still a thirty year we were forced to leave our homes because when we returned we found everything we could use to look at all the devastation what rock is going to. Diminish that we are living in the midst of destruction we feel completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. In rubble that have to be to remove the debris with all money theres no Running Water so we have to vote in. The u. S. Coalition cause the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water supply and clearing the rubble. I found of mine on the streets near my house my friend and i tried to detonate it from a distance but it didnt go on we thought the mind didnt work and walked towards it exploded my friend was killed i survived. But Human Rights Watch has called for International Support in clearing the rubble and demining it seems almost five hundred civilians were injured in the three months after the liberation many were killed in its report the Organization Also highlighted the growing risk of more civilians being killed as people return to the devastated city well across the border in iraq civilians are also struggling to rebuild their homes but the countrys second largest city almost completely razed to the ground mosul was liberated by the u. S. Led coalition and iraqi forces back in july after months of fierce fighting under a strikes some forty thousand homes need to be rebuilt there or repaired a coup. Adding to the United Nations the government says it needs some eighty eight billion dollars in reconstruction funds for areas devastated by the war a some of it aims to raise at a conference thats just going on the way in kuwait however the u. S. Which is expected to attend sees it has no plans to come to butte phones but use the u. S. Government in making an announcement time to vision if i am not aware of any announcements that we will be making and i can tell you overall. Over the past few years we have spent the United States government has one point seven billion dollars in humanitarian aid in iraq alone. Abdullah come from the Pakistan Institute for conflict and Security Studies thinks there is a high risk of a new insurgency if iraq is not rebuilt quickly. The sunni population already marginalized by the shia led government and theyre directly in the previous some years theyre led to the insurgency. Because lives on that now theres another group recently we have some of the fourth of another group of them are doing just like i yes i yes in some parts of iraq saw. Himself another insurgency that men are. Another there is on their guard if the Iraqi Government as im able to rebuild these sunni areas which were badly destroyed during this fight. Ok switching gears now are russian of pleats one their second medal at the Winter Olympics inside korea a silver in Team Figure Skating with taking gold the u. S. Bronze fifteen year old. Whose dip in the olympics took place in the free skate section to ensure an overall second place finish but a fellow athlete not actually competing was far from complimentary on her twitter account twenty six year old american figure skater Ashley Wagner accused the russian teen of killing time in her program condemned her gold winning tactics in which she reserved her jumps for the second half of the routine on the remarks well theyve sparked a furious reaction online i personally disagree that this wasnt the program it matches the belly of relatively well maybe youre just jealous you cant compete with that stamina and those jumping passes your face looks a big green with envy its just your envy you cant jump like that in the second half and even in the first well we got reaction from russian coaches on wagners comments who told us that its points that wind prizes. Ashley wagner has done a lot for figure skating she is an outstanding athlete the rules for the competitions have changed and its like accounting they simply point its not about beauty in order to win they need to do what. Today put their social or as well as the competitive side theres also the social aspect of course to the games with most nations hosting their own hospitality hoess well russia isnt officially represented at the olympics rather alone pick up bits from russia but theres still a corner of pyongyang feels very much russian has been finding a. As usual there are all kinds of National Houses at the olympics and young chang the likes of the hall and house near the coast the countries like austria and switzerland naturally settled a bit higher in the mountains and since team russia doesnt officially exist here the Traditional Russian house doesnt either or isnt that immature or sca. To make sure russian fans have a home in korea it took a few tricks after all the i. O. C. Must be respected the place is called the sports house obviously you find wide blue and red in the design but never specifically and the recognizable pattern like heres white and black in between what could appear to be flag stripes no official russian symbols the mentors because i havent become official right other than that pure i ration fun and spirit. Among the attractions here are these hockey jersey from every year at the olympics that russia one goes but this one from nine hundred ninety two like here in korea you wont find the letters russia or the u. S. S. R. Ill ask the guests if they know why and why did russia compete under a neutral flag at the olympics twenty six years ago and see money was on own voice simply. Was increased.

The welfare go well twenty eighteen is a landmark winter additional three lympics seeing north and south korea and joint team for the very first time but for many being or girl appearance of a unified korea was more about what was happening in the stands rather than on the ice.

At first its exactly one week since the death of a homeless man was reported in the center of the city of bristol in the south west of england found unconscious just outside a devon as Department StoreEmergency Services including police and paramedics were called but despite their best efforts he died shortly afterwards reportedly he had suffered serious injuries and was in the doorway of the store the thing is that just over a year ago another homeless man michael angle was found dead in the same area it was again covered by the local bristol post newspaper with accompanying similar pictures front by Emergency Services attended to the man at the scene except things are arguably different today the favorite to be the next british Prime Minister to much criticism in the elite Mainstream Media not only questions minority government leader drazen me about homelessness in announced a policy on it in the last few days we would give local authorities the power to take over deliberately kept empty properties because theres something grossly insulting about the idea youd build some luxury block it would have the pictures all around us here of london deliberately keep it empty knowing that with the Property Price inflation the investor is going to make ten twelve percent a year maybe less these days well maybe a deal to maybe a bit less money you know the you know make sure going to make a fair amount out of it surely we have to have a social objective in a social priority in our society but could democratically accountable politicians really take private property in british cities the e.

Weighs the n. H. S. Little homes under democratic control likely for corbin he has this politician who may well enable his plans to turn into action he or she is even while campaigning to remain in the European Union arguing for britain to trash the European Court of human rights easy h r combines the hands of parliament its nothing to ask prosperity makes us less secure by preventing the deportation of dangerous foreign nationals and does nothing to change the attitudes of governments l
