Was still a thirty year we were forced to leave our homes because when we return we found everything we do look at all the devastation what rock is going to see. The minute we live in the midst of destruction we feel completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. Like us or a book the city lives in rubble have to be to remove the debris with all money theres no Running Water so we have to vote in. The us coalition cause 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. I found a man on the streets near my house my friend and i tried to detonate it from a distance but it didnt go off we thought the mind didnt work and walked towards it exploded my friend was killed i survived. Human rights watch has called for International Support in clearing the rubble and the mining raca says almost five hundred civilians were injured in the three months after liberation and many were killed and its reports the Organization Also highlighted the growing risk of most civilians being killed as people return to the devastated city. And across the border in iraq civilians are also struggling to rebuild their homes with the countrys second largest city almost completely reduced to rubble mosul was liberated by the u. S. Led coalition and iraqi forces back in july of the month if it is fighting and as strikes some forty thousand homes need to be rebuilt that all repairs according to the u. N.

S. Which is expected to attend says it has no plans to contribute money to u. S. Government making an announcement times of usually because im 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 abdulla kong from the Pakistan Institute for conflict and Security Studies i think that there is a high risk of a new and didnt see in iraq if its not rebuilt quickly. The sunni population are already there are marginalized by the shia led government and theyre actually in the previous some years that led to the insurgency and i. S. I. Is capitalize on that now there is another group recently we have some reports that another group is a marketing just like i. S. I. Yes in some parts of iraq saw the emergence of another insurgency that may not be. That may have another them on their guard if the Iraqi Government is unable to rebuild these sunni areas visual badly destroyed during this fight. Russian athletes have won their second medal at the winter olympic in ellen picks in south korea and silver in the figure skating with canada getting dulled and the u. S. Bronze the night it was secured by fifteen year old alina as the gates of a haze making her debut at the games thats a fellow athletes not actually competing was far from complimentary on her twitter account twenty six year old american figure skater Ashley Wagner accused the russian silver medalist of killing time in her program and condemned to tactics in which she was tied junks for the second half of the routine and the remarks have sparked a furious reaction online i personally disagree that this wasnt a 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 bit green with envy its just your envy you can jump like that in the second half and even in the first i know youre just trolling but also to well weve got reaction from russias coaches on walkers comments who told us its plain that when prices. Ashley wagner has done a lot for figure skating shes an outstanding athlete the rules for the competitions have changed and its like accounting we simply need to point out its not about beauty in order to win you need to do what alina say you have a decent today to do so she as well as the competitive side theres also the social aspect to the games with most nations hosting their own hospitality houses as theyre known and russia of course isnt officially represented at the olympics but theres still a corner of people in chiang feels very much russian as a labor tried goes been finding out. 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 exists here the Traditional Russian house doesnt either or isnt that a mature orsha. 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 in the recognizable pattern like heres white and black in between what could appear to be flags 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 go 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 the money i dont own voice you see what is. This increase. Is i dont know sorry. I dont know just i got some clues for you countries take turns with the why. Respect to the i. O. C. Saying it was essential you know why not i think its number one finally amends. For that patton as in the same reason. That. Told me i dont think so no i think its. The art of russia lets just establish is a country so be unique left russia was just established as a country thats when the soviet union. Had its break up so neutral flags werent always down to the i. O. C. Sanctions. Have a drink go our tea young chang even travelling to say one of the Worlds Largest sporting events can prove to be challenging especially with similar sounding korean cities on everyones lips. A former terror suspect games i access to security soft spots at Londons Heathrow airport all the details for you after the short break. Tens of billions hundreds of billions probably a trillion dollars of u. S. Government subsidies a shot on the Energy Industry yes government can subsidize mining big brother crypto currencies and put those into the wall its called american citizens going to each have an automatic wallet tied to this also security account and they can get a daily and weekly or monthly air drop points that they can then years to boost the economy when the government can easily do that. Right for many clubs over the years so i know the guy even so i got. The ball isnt only about what happens on the pitch to the final school its about the passion from the families its the age of the super mom each kill you know their own lives and spending to get to twenty million. Its an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy great so what more chance with. This morning. Welcome back one of the worlds busiest airports Londons Heathrow in the u. K. Is being accused of lax security a former terrorist suspect with a string of criminal convictions was reportedly given access to sensitive areas like the runway with no background checks made and if the cia checking out picks up the story. Another highly concerning incident circulating in the press here in the u. K. Its been reported that a former terrorist suspect and a criminal with seventeen a we assess was able to get a job at Heathrow Airport which is in fact one of the busiest airports in the country without as whats being described as proper security and background checks and being able to allegedly get as close to things like luggage area as well as airplanes its being reported that this thirty one year old man had a criminal record lasting over a decade including for things like threats to kill robbery Money Laundering and assault and now he has been reported to have spent five years behind bars previously and it said that he was interviewed by antiterrorist fishel as much as five times in the last two years now those charges against him were dropped however he must have been on some kind of watch list following all of those developments however this is exactly what is raising questions as to how this story was even able to unravel now curiously this man worked as a kitchen porter in the business and first class lounges at Heathrow Airport and he himself has said that the fact that he was able to do so is a disgrace and he was trying to show a loophole in the Security System the security procedures are a disgrace and need to be exposed im not an extremist a terrorist and want to protect i can believe how close i can get to the planes and luggage i can delete stuff which he threw dont get checked its crazy well it seems that Heathrow Airport officials seem to believe that theres not very much to worry about in relation to those developments. The conditions of pawns to quote the individual to be considered the schools by a permanent member of staff who is also subject to robust and skewed to search each time he gain access to certain areas weve contacted the metropolitan police who have told us that they would not discuss such matters now it has to be said that this mans temporary pass was active for just several days its been since been revoked and he no longer has the job but however the fact that this even came out of course raises lots of questions about the state of security especially this not being the first time that Something Like this on rivals the film ahead of Britains National counterterrorism Security OfficeChris Phillips says at ports must make sure all employees at head to security requirements all airport should really be making sure that the conference is checked. And accredited with the same degree all. Through history as those people that work full time airports have been consistently targeted by terrorists and will be considered terror dogs and in the future and so either is is one of the most Dangerous Things that we can face this is not just heathrow this is a problem worldwide if we want to keep yourself safe from with flying you we need to make sure that the airports and the airlines and the providers of Services Within airports are really doing their job to a credit. To make sure that theyre not a threat to us. As a blunt warning to americans war strategy and afghanistan this time from the National Security adviser in neighboring pakistan whos urging his government to negotiate with the taliban we got some insight on this from the chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party hes also the son of former Prime MinisterBenazir Bhutto and widely tipped to be the countrys next leader he told some error khan that he things that the u. S. Has lost its way in the conflict. Pakistan has been a strong ally of the u. S. In the war on terror but its been about sixteen years and theres still no end in sight how would you change pakistans policy in afghanistan unfortunately the of the on war has turned into this for ever war with the United States has lots site of its objectives it seems that they dont know why theyre there what they want to do or how theyre going to get out five to the matter is that seventy five percent of honest man witnesses terrorist activity forty five percent of our plan is done is not in the control of the our run government we want there to be peace in afghanistan but it has to be an afghan led peace and the Afghan Government and nato forces need to start taking responsibility for their failures if in this long in this for a war they havent been successful its time for us to rethink what were doing. I the Pakistan Peoples Party police a non interventionist Foreign Policy in that change if changes to take place that has to take place domestically inorganically. And unfortunately weve seen the west get overly excited by the arab spring and didnt allow it to tick its organic conclusion and we shouldnt focus on individuals we shouldnt try and advance political agendas states political agendas whether its in the of honest on syria or in iraq and we should let the people of syria decide their future. But weve always always in our previous government emphasized good relations with all countries particularly our neighbors i dont think its fair to expect from pakistan that they wont maintain good relations with china whos been our all weather friend an absolutely important ally to our country or even iran who is our neighbor im really happy to see cooperation between pakistan and russia increasing and im very optimistic that this partnership will continue to increase we like to be treated with respect and the people of russia and the government of russia have been very respectful to the government and the people of pakistan. Thank you for choosing r. T. International with all the latest News Headlines from my colleague you know neil will be here at the top of the hour. Heres what people have been saying about redacted the night is yours exaggerated full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs upon our elite yampa is the john oliver of our three americas doing the same but we are apparently better than nothing said i see people youve never heard of love redacted the night not the president of the world bank so very pretty girl right ok seriously send us an email. About your sudden passing ive only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last bang turn. To you as we all knew it would i tell you im sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. I remember when we first met my life turned on each. But then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didnt like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like him its sad one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind its consumed with this one to. Speak to now as there are no other takers. Claimed that Mainstream Media has met its maker. Following welcome across like were all Things Considered im here all about while washingtons political elites chatter endlessly about memos the u. S. Continues to deepen its role in the syrian proxy. War of course there is no public debate about this and are the two koreas giving peace a chance. Cross talking some real news im joined by my guest mark sloboda hes an International Affairs and security analyst we also have a hes a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and of course we have hes a political analyst with international right gentlemen crossed the girls in effect i mean to can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it lets first talk about whats going on in syria here. As a watcher cable news in the west and i dont always enjoy it but i feel obligated to watch it. The coverage of syria is its very interesting theres only one angle primarily and thats how trump is defeated so that is the when you hear about syria the president of the United States believe it or not. There is almost no mention of the role that russia has played since september two thousand and fifteen that was the Tipping Point but you know you know im quibbling i suppose but you know. One of the programs i do like to watch is Tucker Carlson i think as a conservative i can identify with him on many issues i think hes right on someone disagree and he brought on a. Talk about syria which was i thought was you know i was very happy to hear maybe you critical view of whats going on. He had a guest and well that gets repeated the usual bluster lets give it a watch but youve got Bashar Al Assad is obviously a dictator but he was against isis too and now were fighting him it seems demented to me and i bet you if you polled most americans they would agree with me well what i think ministration is doing now and what president trouble is doing now is shifting from isis to iran you know and russia is heavily involved and theres a lot of people i think. Rightly asking why not just let the russians take care of it well ill tell you a couple of reasons one the russians dont care about isis they care about defending assad two theyre aligned with iran and iran has made more gains in the last decade under the Obama Administration in terms of advancing its had germany which is not in the United States interest or israels interest than theyve made in the last thousand years and three ill quote a former nato commander who said the russians have weaponized refugees pile them into europe allowed isis to infiltrate and have done more to destabilize our partners in europe and in the warsaw pact ever did so i think all of those things that are in it and with respect thats just pure propaganda in my opinion. Picture react to that because i mean we could spend the entire program deconstructing only that one small part of that segment simply dont have to worry its going to michaels. But why because he has to explain he has to respond to two dr carlos of the very simple question. Assad is fighting isis the United States officially so has that its fighting isis so why is the United States. Forces istead isis. The simple question no simple answer well one no we got a non answer we got it we got to do exactly what inflection it was it was a deflection because he did not want to say that troops the official american policy is very different from the real policy that washington use and the real policy that the Washington Press use is aimed at eliminating assad is that he that of syria thats and thats one of the reasons by the way that isis florist is syria without the support that the assad forces initially got from the u. S. From britain some other countries some other allies of the us i says would not have flourished here i mean if there had been the illegal invasion of iraq in two thousand and three of course and here and. Show thats what you say as you know iran has been gaining more influence you know spread into july and that is why its probably because of why because of what will now be able to speak clearly clear to our viewers its weak is it because of what iran is doing or what other actors are doing because well obviously it is other well not been for the u. S. Invasion of iraq in one thousand nine hundred one you know if it had not been for the u. S. Invasion of iraq in two thousand and three iraq would have not been so influential its a simple so that even the Mainstream Media. In the constant attempts to combat what they ludicrously call iranian have gemini which is simple the fact that iran has some influence against the overwhelming middle east germany of the United States israel and saudi arabia this this tripod alliance. They refuse to allow any other country particularly a weak country like syria to be allied with iran the us decides who is allowed to be allied with who and who isnt allowed to be allied with you and they never notice that all their attempts to roll back some fictional i really if you want to look at least in korea really and. Gemini i mean just think about out whos really the edge of my heart you not only that but there are continual efforts in syria. Directed against iran they have pushed russia any ron paul to im sure iran and china closer together russian the russian government years ago wouldnt have wanted to be caught dead in bed with the iran now they find they have so many geopolitical interests in common and they can deal with them so professionally compared to the westerners that you know what were looking at another defacto Strategic Partnership its interesting when you have to when you compare maybe russias relationship with the rand and how it has to negotiate honest baby step level with turkey for example its inside of russia both was iran and was it really could you not tearing. Of course it do more but its there is growing in the one nine hundred ninety s. When the western u. S. The olson was the president of russia it wasnt because he also was intimidated and he wasnt it wasnt because his administration was somehow against watching it wasnt it was because it was an issue relationship the United States pushing tax america wanted to be the only superpower in the world and not letting anyone else have a voice it was consolidating other powers in this fight that i mean with the us again because with the end of the communist ideology russia. Actually began realizing its own Real National interest wasnt blinding blinded by ideological goggles here go ahead im returning to this few areas i mean when Michael Waltz says that weve lost call into a rainy and influence who kidnapped the lebanese Prime Minister and kept him against his will in riyadh for several weeks iran oh no it happened to be saudi arabia but we forgot about that who just bought the Syrian Forces scheme in one hundred ok syria so doubts about you know i want to go here on this we can all know. But the. Tailing Development Mark we have this israeli jet crash we dont know exactly what happened to it but it really fascinated. Predictable how the israelis and washington mimicking television talking points where its all about a rant ok here here is a country that you know the the United States tax pro Government Forces in syria over one hundred people are killed and then we have this goes down we dont know exactly what the circumstances are but then the talking point is its a brands fault to be going after assets in syria israel has admitted in recent hours that it was brought down by Syrian Air Defense yet it israel present says their justification for their most recent attack on syria and lets be clear. When were talking israel uses the excuse of defense selfdefense and everything well they have mattis is saying also that they really just think you know what wow militarily invading and occupying syria israel has attacked syria over one hundred times since two thousand and eleven in fact they call it the problem and not the idea of the israeli fighters just own syrian air space and let fire on any of the enemies and do whatever they want there to whether this is come to an end as of yesterday ok is that victory is this an escalation or is it sending a very strong signal and what is russias role in this because there is some kind of debate here but one of them is that damascus has had enough considering what mark just said there that they are going to start reacting here or is it the russians and the iranians whispering in your i tend to think the the the the syrians are saying enough is enough they will strike back when the Syrian Civil War started two thousand and eleven there. Then spread to other regions of syria with the support of the west with the support of the United States is that no and these are really the ship was sure that the opposition would win and that assad would lose he would he would go in then proamerican he would. Come in in damascus and some conflict would be just right here to go to iraq and so for years hes ok as. You can islamic for me sions in syria this is not a secret
