thanks for joining us this evening my name is neil harvey you are watching r.t. international first this hour russia a moderate syrian opposition have signed an agreement setting out terms for a first deescalation zone near damascus earlier in a direct chooser and partridge discussed the development here in the studio. it finally is the first deal that's been signed as a deescalation zone in the key strategic area of the scooter which is fifteen kilometers east of damascus and its key strategic area a one time population of two million people prior to the syrian conflict key point strategic importance of signed a document it's the first time it sets out also how people are going to behave and also how they can keep the peace and what is the deal mean in practice what in practice it's been a bit of a military free for all there so you have the government forces fighting against the rebel forces north so you have the rebel forces fighting amongst themselves as well and you've you've had the reports of even the terror group. which is for me as you know none of those are that was fighting there as well so now of course this

sets out a peace process that is going to be no more fighting there we're going to have humanitarian and medical aid most of it's going to be a road map on how they rebuild the infrastructure there that's been decimated as we've seen by some of the pictures and also there's going to be a means of having safe passage for the civilians that are left there been able to leave seems like there's progress it's been a long process so far but there will be next steps what lay it in terms of the syrian peace process what will it be well the idea is that this is the first of four particular deescalation zones while they're still nailing out the final details so we're also looking at other key flashpoints in live in homs and see whether they can then come together and establish four of these particular zones who will be responsible for ensuring that this deal is carried out well as you know as you were at the u.s. last interview stalks this is very much a follow up of what was happening there so the guarantors will be turkey iran and russia at the moment this particular deal has been trashed out growth but in cairo by egypt those are the three countries that were the initial peace talks and

they're looking to work together to ensure that this is guaranteed this time around and also looks like it's going to be a long road ahead and see how they manage it. lebanon's political and militant group hezbollah has officially confirmed it's fighting terrorists alongside the syrian army at the syrian lebanese border. the operations taking place in our last stronghold along the border with lebanon on the terror group set up a military base there in a mountainous area inside syria the mixtape had been moving closer to the refugee camp just across the border in lebanon the area has also been a place of operation for the nose for a front autism elisi delves into the history of hezbollah as presence in syria. lebanon's hezbollah has long been fighting alongside assad government forces throughout the six year syrian civil war but for the first time the armed group is

making it official. hezbollah claims it's driving and isis terrorists as well as rebels out of the last foothold on the syrian lebanese border a mountainous region seen here on the map the green part here is controlled by al nusra rebels and the black here by isis so far it sounds like just another development in the ongoing fight against terrorism in syria right so what's the big deal let's break it down. as well as presence in syria has always been a bone of contention as israel the u.s. and the arab league all view the group as a terrorist organization and levanon hizbullah a terrorist organization you just towns to shield its balance of tens of thousands of illegal rockets its militias stand side by side with syrian troops as they slaughter the syrian people. the room continues to support terrorism including

palestinian terrorists has blown and also. has is a terrorist organization and they are currently. cross international loans in fighting in another country over it it's in no way trying to demonize a group that is fighting against western against american against israeli and saudi interests in the region. but not everyone categorized as hezbollah fighters as terrorists the list of those who don't include syria russia china and of course iran which funds it and helped create the group in the eighty's the russian. allies and they came here legally they support us again the terrorists there are many participants in the fighting these are the

syrian army forces and those forces that are usually called pro-government including his which is supported by the iranians his blood is fighting alongside this. block. against the terrorist groups the western media has proven that they were supported by western countries by the united states by saudi arabia and also by israel. so why is hezbollah being more brazen in syria all of a sudden raising the flag. might be an attempt to assure the supporters of hezbollah that the fire will go on against the terrorist groups until the end looks like hezbollah those waving its flags openly in syria as is feeling confident it's on the winning side. meanwhile one of america's most senior generals

has admitted that the u.s. presence in syria has little legitimacy saying that if russia played the legal college washington could be obliged to leave the country here's the conundrum we are operating in the sovereign country of syria. the russians they're there they're stalwarts they're they're back stoppers have already uninvited the turks from syria were a bad day away from the russians saying why are you still in syria the us and it's it is come up in the form of some some close calls there but it'll be hard i defer to the lawyers in the crowd and others in terms international law on the basis for us staying there other than r.c.t. rich we went there for all the righteous reasons but if the russians play that card we may want to stay and have no no. ability do it they could played out. in all journalist martin j. says ever more people are coming round to the idea that america's presence in syria violates international law it's interesting that senior military officials are now

sort of going renegade and i'm beginning to show some disenchantment with donald trump's policy in the middle east the actually legal basis of america being in syria is a very shaky one it's based on u.n. rules that were adopted in two thousand and five which argued in theory that you didn't necessarily need the u.n. security council agreement to engage yourself in military activity in another sovereign states to prevent what could be. harm or a war situation and i think the europeans particularly are conscious of. the legal basis for america to be in syria. is really not very valid it's all. another front against i saw it was opened at the end of may that was when u.s. backed kurdish forces reached the terrorists' defunct capital the battle to retake the city rages on but as already resulted in enormous civilian casualties many more

people remain displaced some of those who fled the cold life between liberation forces and terrorists. i came from rucker nothing is left in iraq except for destruction because of the coalition and i saw but the strength of the coalition will worsen some villages were wiped out some neighborhoods were demolished houses families children women all were headed by the random strikes. i left my neighbors at home in the evening and went to sleep outside i came back in the morning just to find twelve of the date the children the mother and the man i buried them they died because of the shelling and i can cut the grass suffer i

studied it was great but kalish walkley still less than an a team manager they carried out in their strike on high school and killed a lot of people as there were refuges from aleppo obviously all the time that i am alone on a deviation out of the logic coalition targeted everyone just the same it kills one person from ourself and everyone else around there is no delay that's not been targeted some people lost their houses of their lost their children and wives. the massacres in iraq are committed by isis and the coalition warplanes together what can i say the streets are full of dead bodies. and with the number of migrants arriving in italy growing by the day

a group that was been dubbed to defend europe is trying to stem the flow it's selling a ship to the region in. turned bank margaret boats that are coming from africa the vessel will be based in the syrian port of tania it will be patrolling the mediterranean off the coast of libya the mission says that it wants to expose humanitarian groups that it claims are working directly with people smugglers the activists accuse them of effectively providing migrants with a taxi service direct to europe and the group is bankrolling its mission with money raised through crowd funding so far they've received one hundred twenty six thousand dollars but the mission has been accused by some of being racist pro refugee activists stays the rally at the port of decrying the sea patrols. holding banners that read no more drowning and freedom frontex not being a reference to europe's borders agency the city's mayor branded the defend europe in a provocation trying to challenge one of the group's members and also gauge reaction

from locals were at the port of. among the ships that come into the sport you will every now and then see boats full of migrants but we're here to talk to an activist who is expecting the arrival of a very different kind of boat with a very controversial purpose. so somewhere around here. probably going to be. what we cherish of course is a cultural identity are you a racist or an extremist organization your final purpose is what. we want to control europe stays in europe this is what some people call racism. i think the european union should feel ashamed.

the national weather service in sterling virginia has issued a special memory warning for chesapeake bay from pools island to sandy point maryland from sandy point to north beach maryland chester river to queenstown eastern put up school river including baltimore harbor until four fifteen pm to ten pm strong thunderstorms were located over central maryland moving east that thirty five knots hazard wind gusts thirty four knots or greater source radar indicated impact boaters and small craft could be thrown overboard by suddenly higher winds and waves capsizing their vessel locations impacted include northpoint state park maggots the river chester river eastern pools island greenbury point shady site herring bay highland beach sandy point state park severn river bloody point light

thomas point light poplar island comes island fort smallwood state park pine forest park miller island gibson island and bob can point. right twinging and geo both doesn't sound good this is the boat. the right wing activists will be on this boat they will be patrolling the mediterranean to make sure that there is no illegal migration and to make sure that the n.g.o.s don't break the laws what do you think about that good job like that it's good and the opinion of the migrants. they don't want migrants here i mean. if they don't one migrants i mean they have to be out the make of. these and stability in libya they say if they rescue migrants from the boats they will take them back to africa that this is a. good one how can someone who is live i mean up in the middle of militancy you know take them back to africa that's not fair i mean some people call them racists

do you agree with that there's no racist but thore there's already too many people here yet no jobs so there's no room for everyone do you think that's racist i don't think so and i'm not against helping migrants but we should help them in their own countries so here's a seeing that seems to have become typical for sicily we've got a park where we can see the migrants then and geo group to help them and also their locals who are still feeling the burden of the economic crisis and don't want migrants and their hometown and all of them are in one same park not too long before right wing activists join them on the club to try and go on t.v. could tiny really ok i'm going to be back with more news for you after this short break. you can revolt against the dictator but what about the day after i think we as

libyan people did not give much thought about that and so the way the passion the resolution does not build nations. and certainly does not build states . i do think that archie is a propaganda arm of the russian government and helps to spread. information that helps advance russia's interests and so that's why i think it's important for people like me to come on if it weren't me would be somebody who was less capable who would maybe not do as good a job presenting the american point of view. now

if you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary for your next holiday will israel may just have an option for us running it on terrorism some account where you can actually experience being in a whole state situation. so this is serious. arabs will be. terrorists and i'm shooting on terrorists everyone anywhere anyplace in any.

five times. my quite hurt but every time the. one that wanted to kill me is not alive. right now no. doubt me about mcconnell and. about the i.d.f. really exciting to see how they train and really what they do oh it's up to. treating the right. spirit situation in order to when you go back home and you hear or. something new you know the more it's not sure. one can see surrounding the campus this location which is in the

west bank which palestinians considered to be occupied territory. the boot camp has been condemned by palestinian officials the local mess said that the tourists attending the camp of mostly american and thereby directly supporting the occupation of the land spoke to a middle east expert who thinks that israel's not doing self any favors by setting up such a venture this is something israel has been doing for a very long time reinforces the notion to american visitors in particular that it's the conflicts can only be solved by military force that the palestinians of the bad guys but the israelis are the good guys i don't think the israelis are really doing themselves a favor though by having this sort of very blatant violence and. tourist oriented operation of bring in americans in particular to train them on

the so-called palestinian terror threat it is a move that is so clearly rejects the international view of what should be happening in in occupied palestinian territory. the media's been obsessing over the looks style on mannerisms of the since the billionaire businessman made his bid for the white house but just how important this style of substance auntie's jaclyn visit has been trying to find out. america's commander in chief is meant to be a representation of the country as a whole and its values and what does america pride itself on if not diversity we believe our diversity our differences when joined together by a common set of ideals makes a strong americans are a diverse people with respect and concern for every single human being in this

country and being very different from previous u.s. presidents donald trump seems to know what it's like to be the outcast his everyday guy in your face persona is one of the things that got him elected i think by single greatest ship of any assets i have is by temperament oh just i just. think a much more humble than you would understand. you call women you don't like that hague's your twitter account only rule that you know donald. but it's also what he's attacked for by some of his detractors recently we've seen the media become preoccupied with trump's personal habits some choose to dissect his food choices slamming him for his love of red meat exotic meals fast food you name it it's true he's not like obama who reportedly only eats seven lightly salted almonds for a night snack others criticize the president's lack of obvious exercise dubbing him the least athletic president in u.s. history well maybe a more athletic build is the key to being popular and

a few outlets have gone as far as to warn that trump's unique and often unscripted style of speech may be an indicator of mental health issues and many fell in love with obama because he was seen as a cool hip guy. which apparently is not the case with mr trump and that could be hurting him more than he knows because according to a recent poll that's how his predecessor scored high in approval ratings and that same poll shows that sixty five percent of those who do. approve trump do so because of his personality this is a cultural issue they want to force trump into. and joking because he represents in that sense the other side of the cultural divide reason i thought so it looks like america's champions of diversity disapprove of trump despite him being the man who arguably has made the presidency more diverse perhaps

a few more hip trappings could help but probably not. our t. washington d.c. we asked legal in the media analysts law in a white people who claim to be in favor of diversity of busing one of the most colorful presidents in u.s. history the biggest con in the world is that what people call the liberals and they're not liberals they have no belief system they have no platform they have your ideology no truth no future no nothing these are the people who supposedly are liberal they're the ones who are calling for war with syria why because who ever was against term they were for you just say i hate trump and. deal with any other problem you have i hate but i'm not crazy about. transgender migration bathroom oh ok will do i hate but i'm not sure about women's rights are ok will bother them. ok let's bring some breaking news that are just

come in a stampede has broken out arteries really police moved in to disperse hundreds of palestinian protesters who were praying outside temple mount in east jerusalem. i. was with it it. was i. was. on the prayer was part of a protest against new security measures that were put in place at the sites by the israeli government during the protests fireworks were led off near ambulances that were trying to make it through the crowd israeli forces reportedly went on to use water cannon against the demonstrators several people have reportedly been injured in anti correspondent we've heard it's also been caught up in the arrest and we

a real hard pressure my skin burned and that wireless access point here just continues on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually baiting our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. let's say the solar industry is it jobs booster and california generates says a thousand jobs new york tens of thousands of california is going to have a lot of jobs on the side or nobody is on this but they have a lot of desert obviously if they go solar they go a lot of job in texas and folks in texas going to say your ideology sucks we want to job solar jobs you're out of office we're going to bring a folks to do it california's doing isn't that the way the modesty works in america . would. you put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be
