political earthquake. never. has. plans for the syrian city. of gender discrimination case again after she was asked to move seats.

thanks for joining us here. with me. welcome to the program. voted to leave the european union the actual divorce. referendum result political earthquake shocks of which are still being felt today. we want our borders but we want our country back but i negotiate will need to begin under a new prime minister. pass on my thanks to his mom for their rigs i supplied toys i got a difficult moment this breaks it means. i got a. chemical that doesn't have a clue i was really leaving. no

one and no community left behind i. promise that the reason my gambled and lost parliamentary majority over the breaks issue. takes us through the twists and turns of britain's rocky road to break up. it was a very changed the course of history the forty eight percent who voted to stay were outraged although the others they were delighted to show me his resume. that they're. getting. used to because you notional bank holiday we will call it a. night your firearms may have been jumping the gun his so-called independence day is still a distant prospect the referendum result killed the political career of david

cameron and allowed home secretary to resume aid to step up to the plate in the run up to the vote she had been a quiet remain but the desire to lead post brags that britain forced her to reconsider her position. bricks it means bricks it wrecks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it a year down the line that sounds like something from an alternate universe considering that reason may called an election in order to strengthen her hand in the braggs it talks but ended up freefall in the polls and losing her parliamentary majority her atrocious result meant the politically weakened government limped into negotiations with brussels earlier this week and bear in mind these talks were never going to be a walk in the park. but it. can be

concluded quickly. threats against a question that's been issued by european politicians commission was trying to bully the british people arguments over whether the u.k. would pave the e.u.'s one hundred billion gregg's it bill guaranteeing the rights of e.u. citizen. in the u.k. and who would get custody of gibraltar thought any issues but there is aroused took a back seat when britain was hit by a wave of terror for terror attacks in the space of just three months to be precise and many britons held to reason may directly responsible because she'd been head of the home office six years before becoming prime minister. and with all the security and political chaos few people even notice that earlier this week brings

it negotiations officially kicked off but not in the way that london would have hoped the british government's already been accused of caving into brussels over the brig's its schedule and opinion polls now show that if the country got to vote again it would reject leaving you so just like two reason may the plan for braggs it went from strong and stable so weak and wobbly within the space of just one yeah. special you summit on brics it hasn't got its second of the british prime minister and the president of the european commission you seem to differ pretty widely. as you still none the wiser as to what the u.k. actually wants. i was pleased to be able to search out which is a very very serious e.u. citizens who are living in the united kingdom if you give you

a clear idea of the kind of the u.k. government. now while the british politicians because over broke some of the e.u. counterparts still have the divorce can actually be averted. you may say. below but i feel. i'm going to go file page picture of. your government decides to organize a bracelet i'll be pretty sad but it will never be outside that they're dead inside someone they can still have that illusion which is a waste of time. before long we will all begin to find out the extent to which rex it is a gentle stroll along the smooth path to a land of cake consumption.

now the u.s. led coalition leading the offensive on the syrian city of raka is bombing everyone that's what locals at least have told. video agency despite the coalition's insistence that takes every civilian casualty seriously the grim situation on the ground does suggest otherwise. but i knew that i thought i knew that if this weren't what they are and you had nothing else of my family and you meant it the mother had a little bit as well i assure you that actually i'm a little mad about that as well and that is nesmith has that but you're the one you're the one who said that actually you anybody can do better than have a taste of what else has me and the dome that has you had the full day and then has become a vegan and i didn't. when it hasn't leninism what i want. to be. and has used a lot. did you didn't she. didn't

get. to kill all the u.s. led coalition hasn't denied using phosphorus which we just heard mentioned there it's operations is an extremely toxic substance and is burned from use as a weapon the coalition does say it only uses phosphorus in permitted ways during battle for example to create a smoke screen of a human rights watch has voiced concerns saying the substance poses a high risk to civilians of a leading force fighting islamic state on the ground all the kurds who are being armed by the american government however washington support for the kurdish fighters irritated its long term ally turkey kaleb open reports on how the us is trying to get around this problem. turkey was furious when it found out that the united states their longtime ally in nato partner was going into rock without them . we do not need terrorist organizations like the p y d n y p

g and the rock operation let us work together to wipe out. america the coalition and turkey can join hands and turn rocket into a graveyard for dash. as the united states is aligned with two bitter enemies in syria the turkish government and the kurdish fighters it's got a tricky bit of maneuvering to do secretary of defense mattis says that the united states will eventually take back the weapons it's now supplying to the kurds after the defeat of isis and this is turning into no small matter at this point the united states is shipping in heavy machine guns mortars other small arms and even some armored vehicles it's totaling over one hundred million dollars worth of war toys a large portion of which are going to the kurds when it's all finished some five hundred u.s. military personnel will have the task of collecting it all in an area that's almost the size of pennsylvania maybe they'll knock on doors and say hey you know those

weapons we let you yeah you're finished with them right and who knows what answer they might get the united states has promised to monitor the area and send out a monthly report that will include photographs this sounds like a great idea as the usa has already lost track of billions of dollars worth of weapons they sent to iraq and some of those weapons have ended up in the hands of terrorists there i think mattis made chromos inuits letter which presumably was gone but it still knowing very well that it probably would not be believed and very well would not be carried out but he made it trying to locate the target the u.s. is supplying the weapons for that it is there the u.s. is old and. goals which seems to be to break a part of syria to load the u.s. to dominate a separate part of syria basically they want to go to syria. and in violation of syria and stubborn integrity a country is torn apart by civil war with different factions vying for power as

civilians flee in chaos the pentagon has a brilliant idea send in more weapons just so long as they promise to give them back caleb mop and r.t. new york. russia's defense ministry has released a new video showing missiles being launched from was shipped on a submarine in the mediterranean targeting islamic state positions in syria. russian intelligence is tracking eisel fighters have been trying to escape their stronghold iraq through the so-called southern corridor that's pretty much their only way out as the city has been surrounded by u.s. led coalition forces for quite some time now for what we understand the fighters have been trying to go from brought to palmira by the hamas profits and that's where they've been targeted in the latest series of air strikes from russia now as i still continue to lose ground

a rocket this is certainly not the first time we've heard terrorists managed to escape the city in fact there have been reports last month of the kurds one of the main forces fighting isis opening up a chord or allowing the terrorists to leave the city of raka the kurds have the night this by the ministry of defense and russia have confirmed seeing the movement of large eisel convoy moving from towards palmira these latest images released it shows six cruise missiles being launched from two warships and a submarine currently located in the mediterranean and the strikes managed to destroy and i saw a command center and several i saw weapons stockpiles in the provinces while turkish and israeli forces that are also operating in the area they have been informed about the strikes in advance but nothing is said about communicating with the coalition forces as on monday russia has halted the agreement of military cooperation in syrian air space with a u.s. after they downed a syrian government fighter jet near iraq on sunday. let's go live now to

a warden journalist more to discuss this further thanks for joining us and here it seems the russians the americans two similar perhaps very different methods though was the lot of differences mainly in the two approaches to fighting us all. good question i think the difference is a quite vorst if you look both of the strategies in the ethos of both of these big plays one on the american side there is a two pronged approach which is confusing and conflicting at the best of times america wants to support a large demographic of forces not its own of course but others largely kurdish who are supposed to take over and destroy isis positions but the same time the americans also have their own geo political struggle within syria against the assad regime. and of course less small for also forget. the other thing which is quite interesting is that their presence in syria is entirely illegal so if you contrast

that against the russians the russians don't have such a complicated idea towards what they're doing or what their objectives are they simply want to hit isis isis hard so that that extremist group can be completely eradicated they're also invited and they're also prepared to put their own soldiers on the front line so i think there's a lot of differences and we've seen that today and in recent days with these airstrikes the american strikes on rocker seem to be quite into scrimmage and encourage heavy civilian losses that seem to care about about feeding the extremist machine with new recruits every day people who see their loved ones die by this indiscriminate bombing and also. on the contrast that the russians doing a very good job of striking isis and as a result of these american airstrikes which it created is right ratlines these corridors which your correspondent alluded to earlier you know those are

a result of not a very efficient and not very thorough and very serious ideology from the americans to destroy isis i've never believed that america really want to destroy isis in syria was i think russia's plans are. do you just start looking at the sort of battle maps of syria how they've chopped and changed over the last few months the fighting terror aspect of the syrian war seems to be moving closer to an end now weis is on its last legs many would argue what he thinks next though once isolates gone which it inevitably will do as a. field military force so to speak what's next with so many players there in the field. you know that's really what we want to know daniel the big question is do these all these huge international players actually stop and walk away or is there a second agenda is there a second game plan there and i think from the american position i have no question whatsoever that there is and it may well take some time but i think in the longer

term as i said in my in my first answer i think the americans do have a longer term and iranian agenda and hitting proxies of iran would be quite an attractive and quote for them a logical step to do so i think that that really does take away some or some of the mystery and some of the confusion is why america is behaving the way it is you know it has these strikes to support the kurds but at the same time time and time again we see repeated examples of skirmishes will standoffs with the syrian regime and the syrian regime the coalition partners like the iranians or hezbollah and that gives an indication of what the long term goals are but if you look carefully at. trump's long term vision of the middle east anyway i mean his he has a very very lucid idea of destabilising iran and what better place to start than

and syria if we are able to fast forward and look at the new picture in its coming few weeks the coming months whereby the extremist part of the equation is completely removed just speaking of the kurds there and of the proxies you mention obviously the u.s. is arming the kurds to fight eisel that's really irritated turkey use a u.s. ally nato member i mean where do you see that relationship developing because will they actually be able to get these weapons back after flooding the area with these arms is that realistic at all. no it's not realistic at all is it i mean it depends on whether you believe in fairy tales all or and father christmas i don't i don't imagine that those arms are going to be hunted but they might get a percentage of them back but i think we'll get a lot of excuses and a lot of farfetched stories about those some heavy guns being lost or destroyed in the confusion of war so i don't think we should hold our breath on now but it's the kurdish question who is arming them is becoming paramount in the last few days with

a new saudi crown prince in saudi arabia. prince mohammed bin salman has told the kurds in no uncertain terms that if he doesn't get what he wants which is for the turkish troops to be removed completely that he hinted he said he might look at options on arming the kurds themselves so you have an incendiary situation with the kurds in northern syria which has got so much more complicated in just in just the last few weeks with the cutter christ is emerging in america once again double it deliberate saying i'm not sure which foot to put its confident with to place itself in so it straddled both camps there is a lot of confusion just a week ago from the white house between trump and the pentagon over the qatar question so the kurds and arming of the kurds it keeps coming up time and time again and very worrying martin j. award winning journalist thanks for your insights today here on the syria question on our international. we've been hearing from eighty three year old woman who want

to gender discrimination case against an airline all the details are coming up to you just after this short break.

the future we go. every the world should experience. if you get it on the old the old. the old according to josh. come along for the. welcome back to the program an eighty three year old woman's won a gender discrimination case against israel's national airline a runny rivets was given a seat next to an orthodox jewish man on a flight from new york to tel aviv but the crew though also to move off to a neighbor insists that he couldn't sit next to a woman for religious reasons a bit of itself told us how she reacted. i spoke with a man. problem with my.

next. and he responded to. that. said. that. said next to. that i think. there is. so poor me and brought. headlines for reasons lost ultraorthodox. of the planes video screens when you considered an in-flight movie. even created a special video company. fortunately. six thirty. should you discover that you were seated next to.

proceed to appear. in the unlikely event that played it did you think you remain in your assigned seat simply reach into your seat protection over your head and it just says this is. the court's decision was praised by activists. the national weather service in mount holly new jersey has issued a special marine warning for delaware coastal and outer waters from little egg inlet new jersey defense island delaware until ten fifteen am nine hundred eighty m. showers were located along a lot extending from east to nearby we to milliseconds to six not to go miles west

long simmering grievances between and among the g.c.c. countries now the next day the us secretary of state rex tillerson issued a statement saying that a list of such demands has been prepared he added that he hoped that the demands would be reasonable and actionable saying that we understand that this list is being prepared it's being coordinated by the saudis the iraq tease each option is and the bahrainis and we hope that it will be presented to qatar with and will be treated as reasonable and actionable now the list includes thirteen demands in total here are some of them first and foremost to curb all diplomatic ties with iran the list and trade and commerce with iran that complies with the u.s. and international sanctions will be permitted now the two states share the biggest natural gas field so that could be a problem as well at the same time it calls for the savoring of all the time is to terrorist organization the list mentions muslim brotherhood islamic state al qaida

and hizbollah it calls on shutting down al-jazeera and all qatar funded news outlets to terminate to military presence in qatar to any joint military cooperation with turkey that is taking place inside of qatar it also calls for an end to interference in sovereign states internal affairs so in other words to stop all contacts with the political opposition in saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain to hand over all files that detail qatar's prior contacts with and support for these opposition groups it also talks about paying reparations for loss of life and other losses that have been caused by qatar's policies now the sum will be due to. i meant in coordination with qatar so thomas also consent to regular order for the next ten years the list says that he needs to be agreement to all demands within ten days or the list becomes invalid now the document does not

specify what the countries will do if qatar refuses to comply so of course it remains to be seen whether qatar will view these demands as either reasonable or actionable. next things crosstalk discussing whether washington strategic interest in syria is because of iran they sued for more news that. was.
