From moscow. Thanks so much for being with us this. Now the u. S. Embassy has officially requested up to one hundred fifty Million Dollars to be spent rebuilding a rocky cities left devastated by the war on Islamic State thats only a fraction of what the u. S. Has earmarked for its continued military operations there. Has more on the story what does this look like to you mad mad. Resident evil no this is mosul or rather whats left of it quote a sea of thousands of air strikes we filmed this a few weeks ago and nothings really changed from when we were there last this is what the aftermath of a classic strike in mosul look like neighborhoods that numbered in the thousands its been reduced to a handful. The iraqi army and the u. S. Led coalition seem to make sure to not leave a square meter on scorched for the turk of precision i havent yet seen a single house in moonsault untouched by fighting the neighboring street all but destroyed the street across rubble the street over there its the same story wherever you look cities and towns that house medians a devastated hospice even now in mosul you are never far from the stench of rotting bodies or unexploded bombs help reconstruction no one seen any of that module be it the module. I did they enter was a little when it was two and it was. Doing. Well shes a little hungry alice get a lot of you know she be going to school in the citizen not. What else is there to do in mosul watch the servants and distilled down the holocaust and that to mean that if she ever put it to you. As strange the u. S. Had pledged to help and do what its bombs did theyre already helping Fund Reconstruction iraq says it needs one hundred billion dollars to rebuild and the United States has doubled its. To one hundred fifty Million Dollars or about zero point one percent of what iraq needs and no one seems to have seen any of that but a city in your city if you had mice if you live a good. Little wife or. Dont have surely. Love coming in after shiny about i would die i should i hadnt this way now my god now one of the magical set had it now after shiny. Went up five as i had the start of a dallas market and if thats not filed many of us said it would rather the latter send a message that the the numbers are an entirely different leagues but the United States spent on burning isis out of iraq and what the us has pledged to repair the damage it did or entirely in comparable numbers the average cost of a u. S. Air strike in iraq at the beginning of the operation very roughly counting fuel flight time cost of bombs made in uncertain military pay was hard for a Million Dollars for one their strike they carried out fourteen thousand their strikes in iraq alone and after helping turn iraqi cities into this all the complex has one hundred fifty Million Dollars the equivalent of two midsized passenger jets that isnt going to change many lives in iraq. According to germany has provoked controversy after it blocked the deportation of a turkish jihad ists the decisions are likely to also give chancellor merkel a headache shes continuing to struggle to form a Coalition Governments are to Charlotte Dubinsky has more details. Well germanys top court has ruled on wednesday that a person cannot be deported back to their country of origin if they face torture or Inhumane Treatment in that country now Turkish Court has said that germany would need to have appropriate assurances that neither of those would take place if a person was deported to that country now this case has been highlighted because of a court case brought by a german born turk who was convicted back in two thousand and fifteen of supporting terrorism the man whos thirty years old had traveled to syria and had supported a terrorist organization in the country including giving funds to that terrorist organization where he received a three and a half year sentence for doing so here in germany but in two thousand and sixteen he was threatened with deportation back to turkey and he decided to appeal that threat and take it to the court system here in this country now he had support from groups such as amnesty who said that if he was deported to turkey because he had links to a Terror Organization he could be tortured or abused and that man has two thirds of his sentence left to serve and could be released within the next year and that is highly controversial here in germany because many people fear that he could potentially be a Terror Threat in the future. The more moderate liberal liberal germany. The bottles whole. Life in our polls and people think your. Idea. Im afraid of the future and germany of course is no stranger to terror attacks the countrys been on high alert since the Christmas Market attack in december two thousand and sixteen which killed twelve people and injured dozens others in just weeks after that Christmas Market attack the german interior minister called first speech deportations in cases like this but this ruling could spoke in the wheel of those with anybody now able to claim that if they deported back to their country of origin they could face Inhumane Treatment or torture. And this ruling comes amid merkels ongoing struggle to form a government following the election in september the chancellor failed to create a coalition with minor parties shes now conducting negotiations with the leader of the social democrats Martin Schultz who previously of course refused any offer we spoke to publicist and former german Intelligence Officer roy in a rope who believes the controversial ruling to keep a potential terrorist in the country may further cause a split between the parties. This thing is. A few on the fire or anyone and its not only the. Push through the social or through the christian democrats who vote for criminals to portray it as a new ruling of the federal Constitutional Court to not be received for this group pleasure the public at large. I could always pushing to resolve the case of judean a songs three weeks chief has been holed up in the countrys London Embassy for more than five years now he faces arrest if youre terms to leave now acquittals foreign minister says his country may seek outside help Ortiz Laura Smith has more on the ongoing story so the ecuadorian foreign minister has come out and called the situation of our sons living in the embassy here in london unsustainable when a person cant live in those conditions forever. We considering the option of mediation with this little device that could be done fire a third country or individual. No solution is possible without International Corporations or without the heart of the u. K. Which has expressed interest in finding one in terms of the u. K. Expressing interest in finding a way out the government here has reacted and its pretty obvious weight says that the government of ecuador knows that the way to resolve this issue is to have Julian Assange as leave the embassy and face justice for their part songs his legal team have welcomed this new initiative theyre saying if the u. K. Wishes to show that its a nation that respects its human rights obligations and its commitments to the United Nations then it should. Walk free when they refer to the United Nations theyre talking to about a two thousand and sixteen ruling by the organization that was being held in all the tree detention meanwhile the media here speculate. The thing that would ecuador really wants is to push a song out of the embassy to get rid of him in september he tweeted in support of the catalan separatist movement the ecuadorian president tweeted in response saying that should keep his nose out of the business of its allies if president marina wants to get my reporting on human rights abuses and speed you should see so explicitly together with the legal basis there are other issues at play here as well several days ago the ecuadorian foreign minister also said that our soldiers Health Situation is very delicate he added that he is receiving medical help but there is only a certain amount of help that he can receive from inside the embassy she reconfirm though that ecuador is guaranteeing his protection he has been living in the embassy in knightsbridge here in london for five and a half years now since two thousand and twelve and there have been several key moments during that time not to the least of which was last year when swedish prosecutors said that they were dropping investigation into rape allegations that he had faced the people thought possibly that he would then be able to leave the embassy but the police here reiterated that if he does set foot outside the embassy he will be arrested for being in breach of his original bail conditions and wiki leaks has always voiced fears that he would then be requested for extradition by the United States several months ago ecuador and officials said that they were going to call on the u. K. To guarantee him safe passage to ecuador but thats something that the u. K. As we just heard doesnt seem to be any closer to doing so for now despite this little bit of movement on his fate still hangs very much in the balance and its very unclear who or which country might step forward and offer to be that mediator. I mean while people are still puzzling over a cryptic new year message of science left on twitter a seemingly indecipherable code on a link to a popular song since then hes gone quiet is generated plenty of debate about what the tweet could actually mean. Well himself hasnt posted anything since then hes made a minor change though to his account hes out of the small sand time to his name all very mysterious. The u. K. Government rejected calls for a better system of checks and balances to prevent future Prime Ministers making the same mistakes as tony blair that over iraq they special committee are strict investigations should be carried out before entering the country into any conflict now the inquiry into the war known as the chilcot report led to these talismans of the u. K. S National Security council deals with all National Security issues coordinating the activities of the Intelligence Services and formulating Defense Strategy and how the chilcote report of course was published back twenty sixteen rule the u. K. s military action in iraq was not a last resort they rocky leader Saddam Hussein didnt represent an urgent threat there was no undeniable evidence of weapons of mass destruction being used by the Iraqi Government and from the stop the War Coalition believes its easy for the u. K. M. P. s to vote for war so much harder for them to deal with the consequences. Chilcote was meant to change the whole why in which these decisions were made it hasnt been implemented that hasnt been taken up and i fear that were going to get another episode like weve had with tony blair in the paulson who calls the government just like the blair government doesnt want to be constrained by anybody the decision to go to war can be taken by toeing the clique of people around the Prime Minister with very little democratic accountability and of course its very very easy for these m. P. s to vote for war its much much harder to deal with the consequences of a war as weve seen in iraq as we saw as with still saying in afghanistan in libya we know that to raise him i find it into my success very very difficult in a day that a moments body is easier for governments like this and decide whether ok we have an enemy abroad and to bolster the case for war. Still to come here naughty a controversial recording involving Benjamin Netanyahu son is leaked to the press go to all the details for you after the short break states you. A cursory glance at the media environment could easily give you the impression that the vast majority of journalists studied psychology at university so many are convinced donald trump is not mention me fit to be president olusegun journalist suffering from trying to rein in syndrome. Seemed wrong. Wrong just dont call. Me. Yet to ship out just to come at it. And in the game because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Unfortunately it appears that once people learn that you report in a Sexual Assault or me. Become scared you instead of being scared of the perpetrator. The program the pressure has been mounting on the israeli Prime Minister after a controversial recording involving his own son was leaked to the press Benjamin Netanyahu lawyers reportedly tried to prevent the tape being broadcast on local television. It was. Well that recording you heard was allegedly made in twenty fifteen yo yo can be heard shouting to the son of israeli gas tycoon called be my man outside a strip club owners a shareholder at a gas company that allegedly benefited from a controversial twenty fifteen law on Natural Gas Drilling rights take a look what that meant further now the legislation concerned to huge newly discovered gas fields just off israels coast essentially gave corporations control over the development of these deposits with the government arguing it would stimulate investment critics however slam the proposal as corrupt giving the corporations too much power and the modern nationalization of the proposal its following the release of the controversial video you netanyahu denied any knowledge of the plans saying his conversation was nothing more than a drunken joke i regret the remarks and apologize if anyone was hurt by them in addition the things i said to my mind were a dumb joke and joking around with him as anyone could tell. Prime minister netanyahu is already being investigated in two separate Corruption Cases delegations include receiving bribes and negotiating favorable Media Coverage the Prime Minister strongly denies all the accusations in the meantime though hes pushing for a special immunity law which could allow him to avoid prosecution we discussed the latest controversy surrounding the family with regional lists looks really bad for the Prime Minister and it doesnt look like you know someone who wants to be a leader of the of a country to have his son running around in a government vehicle doing things you know dont look so complimentary and is not a kind of why the Prime Minister would want to do whether its a danger to the Prime Minister or undermines no i mean its a self undermining thing and the reason he did it is because it looks bad but you know were in a democratic country and as long as. Hes living in the Prime Ministers residence i may have to answer some questions this is not the first case that were speaking about corruption in the family of Binyamin Netanyahu as the Prime Minister of israel these were you may lead to draw all of confidence and thats the main threat. Thats why theyre trying as a family to play with words showing that its not. A fact but it was just a matter of a guy who was hanging around with his friends and he was just chatting about Different Things but this is not a matter of fact. To musea spinning go often violent protests with thousands rallying against rising prices unemployment on tax hikes Police Used Tear Gas against the crowds after people started burning tires and throwing stones at least one protester was reportedly killed then rest there up that around the same time as similar demonstrations in iran unlike the situation there though its going to largely unnoticed aunties paulus lear has more. Well these protests intern is here started after the new year and they came in reaction to the tennesseean government introducing a new budget plan for two thousand and eight that included amongst other things a rise in fuel prices and tax hikes the response from the trinity and street was one of anger and what weve seen is protests taking place in several dozen cities around the country with us out there one person has been killed and several people have been injured now it is familiar to protests happening in another country namely iran what youre saying we have here are two countries with protests taking place on the street by people who are unhappy with the Economic Situation. The root of it is just a canard its the problem of youth unemployment i personally havent been able to find a job for a long time but if people have a job they dont have any problem with the government thought it was a gentlemans the following suspended twenty eighteen film and slowly returned to the original prices of goods and high of one member from every poor family these are in short see or the rise in petrol prices this time is huge we have a lot of privilege and have to pay a lot of fines its only acceptable that we pay for this governments mistakes. But we are protesting here because of high prices
