throughout that really stressful period and whilst dealing with a lot of issues other than iraq. i remember he told me once that his favorite book was siddartha by herman hesse or and i think there's quite a parallel there in a way the book is a fictional version of the story of how he he sees great poverty and great riches and and finds a middle path and i think that during the lead up to the iraq war kofi annan was similarly he'd seen great endemic poverty around the world he'd met leaders who were living a life of luxury but he was able to to keep a level and actually feel when he spoke to people feel that they were being heard so i think that was a huge asset to the u.n. i think we have it with the new secretary general antonio as well that human quality of being able to listen and be able to speak with with forcefulness but with humility when necessary. in the end it was not possible for him to stop the iraq war but i think he carried himself with great integrity throughout that episode indeed he was very proud african and therefore one wonders what its legacy will be will i

actually this makes me very angry because i'm may times i mean iraq i'm working. on many of the years it has came and asked for money and they know the children it's working in the rocco and something else but for political and ideological i.d.'s as it goes safety are not able to pay to money to to the dice or to is a slum mixtape because they work and buy maybe weapon and use this against human rights and this is political and ideological issue which i not which i i would more support to set a font to find money and because you have to take you in the position of the family the family don't care if you have any political or ideological ideas they want their babies they want children so what they don't have it. right professor and founder of the institute for psychology and psychotrauma tallent she in northern iraq thank you very much for talking to debbie under spain porton tissue. time now for some business news with helen the latest tick for tat tat lives between the u.s. and china had and still no love lost between both sides i can tell you that amrita donald

even animals in europe enjoy some dignity compared to us here in iraq air and water are necessary for life but now there is no water and. the anger has again reached the streets dozens of people have been protesting against the lack of solutions from the government civil society activists and lawyers have filed cases against the governor of the head of the municipal council and the directors of water and health authorities. the people buster are demanding the provision of uncontaminated drinking water as well as health services and good education these are constitutional rights the constitution is merely in qana paper and has not been properly applied to serve the citizens at all. iraq's ministry of environment calls water contamination a very dangerous situation and it's in addition to the lack of water in the province in a statement it said the health directorate staff and technical teams are working around the clock under the directions by health and environmental ministries to figure out immediate and long term solutions for the issues of pollution and. since last month there have

for more than ten years the tobacco factory in iraq lay abandoned there was talk of reopening it then talk of demolishing it but now there are plans to transform the twenty six had a compound into a place where people can enjoy the arts the trash can name ripples from solomon here in northern iraq since it was founded more than two hundred years ago so i'm in a in northern iraq has been a city devoted to the arts. it's that celebrated legacy that makes it unsurprising that someone looked at this long abandoned and dilapidated tobacco factory and vision a sprawling cultural arts center. that is no doubt there will be a huge impact on the people also the money of all people know that people here are thirsty for aught on culture and they are always spot dissipating in or holding cultural activities people even come here from other cities it has a special history from one nine hundred sixty one to two thousand and five so i'm in a a tobacco factory rolled out carton after carton of cigarettes including the first kurdish brand the government run factory was the second largest industry in t

ahmad: if we talk about isis presence in iraq, it does not have a significant presence. based on my own talks with iraqi officials, they don't see that as a major threat. but the al qaeda organization has decentralized over five years. they are not a smaller organization, they are not are forces but there in iraq that have an association

most people would say that in iraq has evolved in a positive .way. then there is afghanistan, which i think many people have questions about. where are we going and how will it all work out? you recently put more troops into afghanistan, have been a key partner throughout it all. would you just share your thoughts about where we are collectively going? >> if we take iraq and syria, and you are right to say that great progress has been made. i remember at the time of the intervention most people said it , would be impossible to make a difference to push back isil. but that is what has been achieved. led by the united states with local partners but also with international allies like the united kingdom and france, we have been able to push isil back, reducing their territory, degrading what they are able to do. we should be immensely proud of that. we've also got to be realistic. while the threat has been reduced, it still remains and is dispersing. the idea that there will be one moment where isil and its poisonous ideology is dead forever, that is sa

northern iraq was liberated nearly three years ago from so-called islamic state when it swept through the region ideas targeted minorities like the c.d.'s who don't follow the islamic faith militants killed the kid now did in slave thousands of yazeed and even now the group is still recovering from what the united nations describes as genocide or returning in starting afresh is a mammoth task very few people are trying to start a new life in the region and its capital sin jar or shingle as it's known in kurdish. begin to show traveled there and she brings us this exclusive report. ice in ruins devastated by invasion and the fight for liberation most people fled when so-called islamic state took the city and killed an enslaved thousands now that the islamists have been expelled only a few residents have returned in many parts feels like a ghost town to end of years after liberation from i as only three thousand families have returned to a city which once had more than eighty thousand inhabitants. there still no sign of reconstruction there are no hospitals schools are functional admini

over assistant professor of well testing at the american university of iraq sloan laney he says it will be difficult for tacky to replace its humorous trade with business from elsewhere though the one big problem for my side turkey is that there's not a lot more that we could sell to russia or buy from russia or. in light of the events of the past couple of years to start receiving millions of more russian tourists in our country for turkey to basically you know sell i guess to use the word tourism as a verb here to tourism it's way out of this crisis more than half of turkey's treat and i'm talking about exports you're goes to the european union and north america and the rest of the sort of you know quote unquote western industrial world its trade with iran russia and china. is much smaller than that to the extent that turkey could actually grow it so for export itself and host tourists out of this crisis i don't think is very sustainable i don't think that's that's extreme that's very realistic. russian forces shot down to. deployed at the base and. no casualties or damage was reporte

if you think the iraq war was a bad idea, you should think that things like the iraq war, iran maybe, we should be a bad idea no matter what says it. if president obama had wanted to do war with iran or president trump if he wants to go to war with iran, we should look at it whether it's good for our security. tiers up to our safety. not persons in office. there is a lot of partisanship if you look at the syria debate in 2013, there was a lot of partisanship there because you had republicans that were arguing against it. it was the first time in 12 years they argued against something in some ways when with it came to using military power abroad but i would make a plea for trying to stick to kind of a principled approach and that foreign policy could get you there because it's not the kind of pocketbook issue or voting issue in the same way other issues are. >> and i'll just tag back on that to point out that what's interesting about this is that partisanship affects mostly answers to questions about concrete policies. it doesn't do very much if anything to affect the broad sort of wor

half of the electricity of iraq is coming from iran iran actually sided by the by iraq to defeat islamic state. and kick it out from mosul and other now it's bagging drug sanctions now you know he is or no it isn't i don't know this one is they said you know in the beginning he said he will respect the sanctions and he will stop business with iran and win the emmy and he's supposed to visit when there is if you are not will come we don't want to have to come you'll betrayed us you betrayed your people so now he changed his point of view saying that ok we will continue business week we'll continue to read with but i believe he is completely finished and if we hit he was a struggling tool for the second term i believe he lost his chances completely and he actually you know made many people upset in and the whole region not only in iraq and i'm sorry i would thank you. that's over the show the last show of the season will be replaying your favorite shows and this is from saturday beginning with award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger keep in touch with us about social media seaso

freedom of religion is is just as important as freedom of speech so as not of course what happens in iraq what happens in iran where women are forced to wear the scarf of course i condemn that and i fight fight against that and i wouldn't i also condemn anyone we are i condemn whatever is going on in europe right now where were countries are trying to . fool he jobs on women in the streets. i mean if a woman if a woman chooses to wear the he or the board it's her own individual decision and we shouldn't i mean fights against that we have to support the i mean any person's right to practice his or her religion i mean we signed the contract was signed the declaration of human rights so it's actually stated that very keeley that this is a possibility so i will fight for any woman's right to wear the hijab and not to whether he. goes the station you're quite an interesting mix of absolute european democrat and a spiritual leader in the slum. when you try to fight islamophobia and open up your religion open up islam from a different angle how do your fellow believers see you i mean do you thin

>> so if we take iraq and syria, and you are right to say that great progress has been made in iraq. i remember at a time of the intervention, first in iraq, most people said that it was going to be impossible to actually make a difference, to push back isil, literally from the gates of baghdad. but that is what has been achieved, led by the united states with local partners, but also with international allies, such as the united kingdom and france, and we have been able to push isil back, reduce their territory, degrade them in what they are able to do. we should be immensely proud of that. but we've also got to be realistic because while the threats have been reduced, it still remains there and it is dispersing, and the idea that there will be one moment where isil and its poisonous ideology is dead forever, that sadly not something that i think anyone will truly be able to achieve. what it does mean to say that nations such as britain and the united states have constantly got to be engaged in terms of that fight, making sure that they don't get such a foothold that they were able

that isis came out of the instability created by the west or at least largely fostered by the west in iraq and syria and now of course also as was pointed out in libya and so and then of course notice how in syria the existence of isis on the ground even though that is waning largely as a result of being crushed by forces such as hezbollah the iranian militia sudden russian air force and so on that the presence of isis is then used by the united states and britain as a justification for having troops and a presence on the ground and that's there's probably some element of that in why the americans are still active in yemen but the main reason is to support the saudi onslaught the saudis have proved again and again that regardless of the massive amounts of military capability they have that in terms of actually putting that to use they are not actually that competent and therefore they're largely reliant on western logistical intelligence and other support but let's put something as well throw something into the mix here for example three within the last three years britain's arms exports t

it has been one year since we first reported on russian speaking children found in an orphanage in iraq following the brutal military operation there against islamic state after the report was dead we launched a campaign to to find any relatives of those children and several people came forward saying that they had recognized some of them well this led to those orphans being reunited with their families is after their parents had left russia to join i saw our correspondent medina cotton of spoke to those families to find out whether they've managed to move on after the tragic experience. so. if. a year ago two small sisters had caesar and fights hemo were brought back to their grandparents who at the time lost all hope of africa seeing them again they see they feel safe here in this house the sister salue can behave like any other child of their age despite their traumatic experience their playground as now the two rooms upstairs that were once home for their parents their grandfather on of our hasn't changed a thing since they left and now the girls play surrounded by things that once

was a think the iraq war bad idea, you should think war, irane the iraq maybe, and we should be a bad idea no matter who says it, right? if president obama had wanted to iran. know, war with president trump wants to go to war with iran we should look at ised about for security and up to the safety and not who the person in office is. i would hope that is what we do.d again, there is a lot of partisanship if you look at the in 2013 there was a lot of partisanship there because you have republicans against it andng the first time in 12 years they argued against someone in some ways when came to using military power abroad. but i would kind of make a plea trying to stick to a principled approach and that foreign policy could get there because it is not the kind of pocketbook issue or voting issue in the same way other issues are. i would tag back on that to pint aboutat is interesting this that is partisanship toects mostly answers questions about concrete policies, about it doesn't do very much if anything to affect the broad sort of world view questions, so if you have people, you know

he talked about what would happen in iraq if we left. he was right. he talked about what would happen in syria if we didn't get involved. he was right. why? because warriors are the best, i believe, at making peace, and the warrior understands the difference between a false peace and real peace. to those who accused him of wanting endless wars, you have no idea what you were talking about. he wanted sustainable peace and understood the consequences of not seeing it through. the soldiers adored him. to those who have traveled with john, you seldom had two mills in the same country. you met more people than you could remember, but you were struck by one thing. we're going to really bad places a lot. and those in the military adored this man. he taught me that boldness and practicality must be practiced in equal measure. he believes in climate change, sheldon. and so do i. but there's a practical streak about john that i think made him very successful because he told me time and time again, you have to let people catch up with you. you have to have a rhy

in terms of the regime washington has admitted to seventy seven of those in iraq are committed by the coalition how would you estimate the number do you think that's an accurate figure seventy seven. so the international committee of the red cross to be cannot give you any concrete numbers on the. this in this regard. what we do have is we have a bilateral confidential but i am not we have to start a conflict where we of course raise the issue of civilian vents and we can just emphasis on our message that of course millions must never be target such as civilian infrastructure and the syrian crisis enters in its eight year and obviously civilians all around the country including a black eye having you have paid a high price for this. but in regard to numbers who would also focus leg on the need to ellen honestly see how we can and support people who want to return and of course have our eye with iraq of the amnesty international been calling for the coalition to launch an investigation is there any way to make the coalition actually launch an independent investigation. that's an intere
