8:03 pm
anything and didn't throw stones at the israeli forces just peaceful they just were voicing slogans after that an israeli police car tried to answer in between the protesters who blocked its way and one of the protesters what we saw was that he throw a bottle a plastic bottle full to the police car. after that we saw the whole police who are standing at the barrier behind me right now it's empty but there were lots of police standing there with all of their guns and equipment they started throwing the sound grenades to disperse the crowd and that's when people began shouting more and throwing more bottles a fourth. and the israeli police attacked violently there might have been some stones thrown afterwards but what was talking about is the fyrst the first violent
8:04 pm
clearly was used by the israeli police. in a separate incident two palestinians have reportedly been killed in clashes with israeli forces in the west bank so today's violence is the latest in a week of protests against the installation of security cameras and metal detectors at the mosque security was stepped up after two israeli policemen were killed in a terrorist attack carried out by palestinians since then warship been refusing to go through the metal detectors and instead praying. they say the new safety measures are an attempt to change the status quo at the site of friday there were more casualties three palestinians and three more israelis lost their lives in clashes. russia and moderate syrian opposition have signed an agreement to setting out terms for a. zone near damascus syria to durian key part to discuss this
8:05 pm
development here and the studio is finding is that the first deal that's been signed is a deescalation zone in the key strategic area 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 there 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 what does 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 and also 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 if you don't learn 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 is going to be a roadmap 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
8:06 pm
a means of having safe passage for the civilians that are left there been able to leave. it 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 establish for 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 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 at this time and also it looks like it's going to be a long road ahead and see how they manage it. lebanon's political and militant group has brought law has officially confirmed to fighting terrorists alongside the syrian army at the syrian lebanese border.
8:07 pm
operations taking place and i sells a last stronghold along the border with lebanon the terror groups that operate a military base there in a mountainous area inside syria islamic state had been moving closer to the are still refugee camp just across the border in lebanon and the area has also been a place so far preparation for the nusra front. delves into the history of has brought us presence and 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 isis terrorists as well as rebels out of the last
8:08 pm
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 itself of tens of thousands of illegal rockets its militias stand side by side with syrian troops as they slaughter the the syrian people. iran continues to support terrorism including palestinian terrorists has blown and also. has is a terrorist organization and they are currently. cross international law.
8:09 pm
in fighting in another country over it's in no way trying to demonize a group that is fighting against west. 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 illegally they support us again the terrorists there are many politicians in the fighting these are the syrian army forces those forces with the usually pro government including his below which is supported by the regime has blood is fighting alongside this. block
8:10 pm
against. terrorist groups the western media has proven that there 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 they're using the flag. might be an attempt to assure the supporters of hezbollah that the fight will go on against the terrorist groups and looks like has both 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 alicia legitimate saying thing that if russia played the legal card 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
8:11 pm
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 all 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. ability to do it they could played out there unless martin cheney says more people are coming round to the idea that america's presence and say were violates international law. it's interesting that senior military officials all know sort of going renegade and i'm beginning to. show some disenchantment with donald trump policy loose the actually legal basis for america
8:12 pm
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 she 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 conscious of. the legal basis for america to be in syria. is really not very volatile over one hundred i feel it. could be preparing to strike you are more details coming up right after the break. but i do think that archie is a propaganda arm of the russian government and helps to spread. information that
8:13 pm
helps advance russia's interests and so that's why i think it's important for people like me to come on if you want me would be somebody who is less capable who would maybe not do as good a job presenting the american point of view. 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 they're waging passion off the resolution does not build nations. and certainly does not build states.
8:14 pm
welcome back into paul has released a list of one hundred seventy three slumming state scientists that could be preparing to carry out suicide bombings and europe their mission and start is to inflict revenge for a resurgent isola defeats in the middle east according to the guardian the list includes a profile of each suspect detailing their name i still recruitment each and last address whole moss and mother's name and in some cases even photographs it's not suggest that the suspects on the list have already entered but many others have in the past.
8:15 pm
they worshipped it's true there was blood everywhere there were. i. everybody like was running and screaming and i didn't know what happened so we just run.
8:16 pm
and the number of migrants arriving in and stay growing by the day and who defines europe as trying to stem the flow and sailing a ship to the region in a bid to turn back migrant boats coming from africa the vessel will be based on this is silly and a port of catan e.-m. and it will be patrolling the mediterranean off the coast of libya the mission says it wants to expose humanitarian groups that it claims are working directly with people smugglers and the activists accuse them of effectively providing mike rents with a taxi service direct to europe. the group is bankrolling their mission with money raised through crowd funding so far they've received more than one hundred twenty
8:17 pm
six thousand dollars well for that mission spend accused of being racist by some program activists have staged a rally at the port of catan ia trying decrying the sea patrols and the activists were holding banners reading nor more. freedom not frontex well that's a reference to europe's borders agency the city's mayor has branded to the defense europe initiative a provocation. a tranquil challenge to one of the group's members and also gathered reaction from the locals. were at the port of could turn in sicily among the ships that come into the 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. probably
8:18 pm
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 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 human beings these peoples need to buy history books we're not trying to provoke a situation where anybody's life is at risk so you're not attacking them. no we are not attacking the migrants we are not going to attack the n.g.o.s we will just try to document what they are doing and we want to make sure that these n.g.o.s are not
8:19 pm
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 one a refugee or a migrant ends up 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 concept what do you think of the n.g.o.s that are working in the mediterranean to help the migrants the moon is this a bit of i don't like what they're 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 ngos don't break the laws what do you
8:20 pm
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 to make a stab at these these instability in libya they say if they rescue migrants from the boats they will take them back to africa that this is that is what go on 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 story there's already too many people here yet. so there's no room for everyone or 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 country so here's a scene that seems to have been. typical for sicily we've got a park where we can see the migrants then and geo group to help them but also there
8:21 pm
are locals who are still feeling the burden of the economic crisis and don't want migrants in their hometown all of them all in one same part not too long before right wing activists join the club drawing board t. could. at least a thousand people have taken to the streets in a town and the north and suburbs of paris the protesters were demanding justice for a young man who died a year ago while in police custody initially police officials clean the man had died of a heart attack saying he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs however has relatives and says that a second autopsy which revealed that he had died from asphyxiation allegations that we called her up and the family's fight for justice led to the case being transferred to a paris court. the media's been obsessing over the
8:22 pm
looks style and mannerism of donald trump ever since the billionaire businessman made his bed for the white house but how important to style over substance. 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 of any assets i have is fight temperament though just i just. think a much more humble than you would understand. you call women you don't like that
8:23 pm
higgs your twitter account only really 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 many fell in love with obama because he was seen as a cool hip guy. which
8:24 pm
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 term do so because of his personality this is a cultural issue they want to full strum into teaching of rubella and jogging because he represents in that sense the other side of the cultural diversity 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. more news coming up and thirteen minutes time.
8:25 pm
all the feel we can. every the experience. you get out of the old world. according to josh. welcome the modern world come along for the raw data. your launching an r t mary got special report tonight about the statue was above me as one of the buds basically everything that you think you know about civil society have broken though. there's always going to be somebody else one step ahead of the game. we should not be in the business of normalizing violence. we don't need people to think like this on
8:26 pm
a planet. this is an incredibly silly situation. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to blame that
8:27 pm
mainstream media has met its maker. the mission of newsworthy is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say the rich. are to america has
8:28 pm
a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mean stream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long or how to say that's the beauty of our to you america. we hear from both sides and we question. not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. welcome to on contact today we discuss the emerging radicalism among american youth with author politician and activist eugene career yes it's good to fight always better to fight than to be passive but we have to have a goal we have to have a vision we have to recognize capitalism is the problem we have to look to him talk about and start to imagine
8:29 pm
a dream what those new types of futures could look like. with chris. our national conversation on race and crime is based on a fiction it is the fiction that the organs of internal security especially the dish area in the police can be adjusted modernized or professionalized to make possible a post racial america we discuss issues of race while ignoring the economic barracks . traffic and political systems of exploitation all of it legal and built into the ruling apparatus that are the true engines of racism and white supremacy no discussion of race is possible without a discussion of capitalism and class and until that discussion takes place despite all the proposed reforms to the criminal justice system the state will continue to murder and imprison poor people of color with impunity r t correspondent on your part about looks at how democrats and republicans conspired to build up.
