3:04 pm
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 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 homs and see whether they can then come together and the four of these particular zones who will be responsible for ensuring that this deal is carried out well as you know as you were asked in our peace talks 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 also it looks like it's going to be
3:05 pm
a long road ahead and see how they manage it. lebanon's political the militant group hezbollah has officially confirmed it's five terrorists alongside the syrian army of the syrian lebanese border. the operations taking place in lust stronghold along the border with lebanon the terror group set up a military base there in a mountainous area inside syria islamic state has been moving closer to the refugee camp just across the border in lebanon has also been a place of operation for the news of a friend. delves into the history of hezbollah is 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.
3:06 pm
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 and 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 hezbollah a terrorist organization you just towns to shield itself of tens of thousands of illegal rockets it's militias stand side by side with syrian troops as they slaughter the syrian people. iran continues to support terrorism including palestinian terrorists has blown and also. has is
3:07 pm
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 don't there are many participants in the fighting these are the syrian army forces and those forces that are usually called pro-government
3:08 pm
including his which is supported by the iranians his blood is fighting alongside this. block. against the terrorist groups that 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 by as. 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. interpol has released a list of one hundred seventy three islamic state fighters depletes could be preparing to carry out suicide bombings in europe the mission it is thought is to
3:09 pm
inflict revenge for recent eisel defeats in the middle east the list as released by interpol includes a pro. follow each of those suspects details their name recruitment date their last known address home mosque and even mother's name in some cases there are also photographs included it's not suggested the suspect on the list have already entered europe or the isolates under intense pressure after losing a stronghold in iraq mosul which it had held for three years and its syrian stronghold is now and circled by kurdish and other forces all this it's thought could be driving fleeing fighters into europe.
3:10 pm
they were shooting in the street and there was blood everywhere they were shooting . everybody like was running and screaming and i didn't know what happened we just
3:11 pm
run. ok list serv bring in a guest adam garry his managing editor at the duran dot com joins me great. this list you would think on first inspection would be very valuable information but as i understand the authorities have had similar info in the past and it didn't stop terrorist attacks just how useful is it. well it's not incredibly useful not least because these people change their i.d.'s frequently and they can disguise their appearance frequently the danger that this list is indicative of is a danger that comes not so much from the so-called east certainly not particularly only the middle east but from western policy makers themselves there's two elements
3:12 pm
first of all there's the foreign policy element when you found terrorists don't be surprised when they come back and when they come back they will act as the terrorists you in the western governments funded them to be started of course in the 1980's in afghanistan with them mujahedeen then in one thousand nine hundred nine in the occupied serbian province of kosovo and we talk when nato funded the terrorist group now kosovo and we talk here is a breeding ground for isis recruits and then of course iraq which bush and blair turned into a hornet's nest and in till very recently of course before that we can talk about libya hillary clinton and her debacle there and of course in till very recently you've got syria where the western governments were funding and putting guns in these same people's hands and it was only now that the trump administration said we're not going to be funding them anymore the second tell them in is of course the
3:13 pm
open borders problem that europe powers when we've as in your previous story we just heard the syrian air obama. and hezbollah are trying to shore up the border they're trying to close the border between syria and lebanon and then you have the leaders in europe like i give the merkel who are throwing the door open to the people that two fairly unlikely sources agreed were a danger and that would be of course the syrian president bashar al assad and the united states president donald trump they both warned that if you let people in under the guise of refugees the terrorists can and will sneak in you've got to change the foreign policy you've got to shut the open door suddenly experiences taught us that terrorists in the past have managed to move fairly freely across europe can you do anything to stop these potential terrorists getting in and from moving. freely throughout the union. well absolutely
3:14 pm
you can shore up the borders and it will take effort but when you look at all the wasted nato resources that are just sitting around in poland and the baltics doing nothing waiting for an imaginary russian invasion from azad loose version of a james bond film these people could be patrolling the borders both on land and the maritime border so the resources are there the money is being spent but it's being spent in the wrong ways and certainly in the wrong places that's joining us this hour my guest is adam gary managing editor at the dot com. ok let's head back to our breaking news story coming out of east jerusalem this is where tear gas has been used by israeli police to disperse hundreds of praying palestinians outside temple mount. oh.
3:15 pm
my god. i know. now the tensions in jerusalem show no sign of phasing this is now the seventh successive nights of unrest as we mentioned earlier we said we were hoping to speak arabic correspondent in the mario's in the rest of the day she joins us on the line now dolly we just saw some of the video footage of you could have been. pretty unpleasant scenes that just explain to us if you will what happened. good evening so the tension is rising clearly i rounded the old city of jerusalem and around the mosque as israeli police are still closing the main gates and turns to the old city and from the protesters why are protesting the metal gates
3:16 pm
that israel erected ever on the main gates of the mosque and they don't want to go through these gates so what they're doing is that they're protesting every day for the five prayers that most do each day they comment pray them in the street outside the the entrances to the most so they don't want to enter through the metal gates and today is the same and the in the evening hundred so for shippers came and protest said here they protest they do their prayer in the street and we were standing and covering the prayer after it was finished protesters had. made some you know. you know they are. there. clashes started when the police guard a try to enter through the worshippers through the protestors. and that's when the tension rose and the israeli forces who were standing at the
3:17 pm
barrier just behind me that you can see now they left. started throwing sound grenades and started using. the grenades two to disperse the protesters and after that they broke the sewage will tank the one that they use also. to break the protests and. they used to here and now the streets are empty quiet is but the way they pushed us and they pushed the people who are protesting adolpho the warship or some of them are old people. between the law there was no difference in the way they pushed they hit me in the back. really was a very violent act by the israeli police who are on high alert as it seems day after day there are more procedures i don't do old city and way harder to cross
3:18 pm
the new barriers that they have. here and. yesterday and the day before not just today and yesterday was the day off rage in jerusalem and it was very difficult even to get to this point but the days before we used to go as close as we can to the old city walls and to the lions gate behind me up the hill but today it is very difficult for and these are not honest anyone to go and to get us closer as possible to the old city this is the man pictured here and what we're expecting is smaller classes in the next days if the israeli procedures are so mosque is still the same and if they don't. some of the muscle guys here muslims and palestinians not just muslims are saying also christians all this ten years coming here to protest to me with their muslim.
3:19 pm

3:21 pm
might have been some stones thrown afterwards but what was talking about is that the fyrst the first violent clearly was used by the israeli police here the protesters are very keen on keeping the demonstrations peaceful because they're very much aware that their message to the words won't get there only by peaceful ways and to say that they worship the worshipping place which is a lot someone else should be open to all muslims without without metal gates without israeli security checks and without any obstacles. deli many thanks for bringing it on the seas that salty arabic correspondent eileen amar who was caught up in the middle of that unrest there in east jerusalem. now into the news and with the number of migrants arriving in italy growing by the day a group dubbed defend europe is trying to stem the flow it's selling

3:23 pm
sport you will every now and then see boats full of migrants but we are 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 will probably arrive by next week. 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 ensure that europe stays in europe this is what some people call racism . i think the european union should feel ashamed now they want to use sicily as a rallying point for disgusting racism that does not belong to our culture i know that our welcoming culture is disliked by european sashes but we won't give up we are not going to be silent in the face of this call to violence against desperate
3:24 pm
human beings these peoples need to buy history books we're not trying to provoke a situation where anybody's life is that risk so you're not attacking them i know we're not attacking the migrants we're not going to attack the n.g.o.s we will just try to document what they're doing and we want to make sure that these n.g.o.s are not working as some kind of proxy for the human traffickers what happens if you see that someone's life is in danger we will also come and rescue them and what are you going to do when a refugee on your boat well we will try to bring them to africa again. people of sicily have gotten used to migrants to the many n.g.o.s that have come here to help but an anti migrant angio patrolling the mediterranean that is something most people here have never heard of so let's ask the locals about the. and so what do you think of the n.g.o.s that are working in the mediterranean to
3:25 pm
help the migrants view the moon was this a bit of i don't like doing what if this is 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 a stab at peace and stability in libya they say if they rescue migrants from the boats they will take them back to africa that this is a that is very but come on how can someone who is live i mean up in the middle of militancy you know take the bus to africa that's the face i mean some people call them racists do you agree with that there's no racist story there's already too many people here yet. so there's no room for everyone do you think that's racist
3:26 pm
i don't think so and i'm not against helping migrants but we should help them more in their own country so here's a scene 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 the club believe the trend toward tea could turn. thanks staying with us here an auntie international hope to see you in just over half an hour's time about the latest news headlines.
3:27 pm
imagine. this if thirty five if you have a career and unclear involves using your arsenal in your computer and things like that in an office. perhaps you sort of getting to that circular. you're going to have to stop doing all this and this is tell you lou the minutes before. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it in a box. very strong magnetic field held in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure on my skin and that wireless access point. just continues on with our students in the school it's. just continually our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral small and it's
3:28 pm
getting worse. but 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 it would be somebody who was less capable who would maybe not do as good a job presenting the american point of view. i'm
3:29 pm
going to do this segment of summer a solution which may mask guys or stay there and our guests tyson slocum welcome great to be here all right and welcome. so this is summer solutions and we're looking you're the energy guy we have an energy president everybody thought george bush was the energy president but this guy trump is like back to the stone age sort of energy coal probably whale oil soon i would think he promised to make coal great again is he doing that you know because there's nothing that trump can do to make coal great again coal is dying a slow death because it's been out competed in the marketplace by cheap frack natural gas by the rise of renewables because the decline in cost curve for noble deployment just continues to go down and continued energy efficiency in the united states if you've got a smaller market to sell into then.
