carrying out. this wednesday it's a. news international first positive developments in syria to tell you about syrian government forces have driven out terrorists from the west bank of the euphrates river needier it's or. a series of dramatic defeats for. forces are advancing on the terrorists on two fronts we've got exclusive pictures for you from the area several days ago the syrian army managed to get across parts of the river for a new advance the russian military established a bridge that enables armored cars to cross when i get reports from the west bank of the euphrates. once. most exclusive.

now al a modern day fortress out of necessity. for three years the garrison here has thwarted isis attempts to cross the river at times it was a close run thing and we don't have an animal. on the home or really. a month ago it would have been suicide to film up here not anymore. these five star hotel seem better days but thanks to its grandiose design and height acted as something of a fortress here india has sought and just to show you how close we are if you have a look through this hole at that hospital while everything behind that is ice is part of the city of the resort across the river they also hold sway this is all

their territory that's the euphrates river and across it is isis it's from there that they shelled the city at will and from there that they launched the occasional raid across the river taking the other bank is key to liberating the city entirely isis still sends fighters and alms back and forth across the river at night it may take weeks but it is inevitable isis in syria is on its last legs its collapse has been as spectacular as its rise since the beginning of the year the so-called caliph it has lost thousands of square kilometers losing precious oilfields and strategic towns to the advancing syrian army and the u.s. backed rebels that is not to say it's over or that it will be. isis has

nothing left to lose according to the syrian military and the families of isis fighters and diehard supporters have allegedly retreated to the town of my idea and they have nowhere else to go in the shrinking caliph at the pass is quite a good indication for what they might do in the future everywhere they were whatever the areas where liberated the people who suffered the presence of isis have told us. about how they use people as human shields so it's not surprising that if they would and there was no way for anyone to predict what the extent they would do that but. would they be hampered by any norms of any reason or any more i'll let the or the past doesn't indicate that this is the final act the dream of an islamic state has been shattered but even in its death throes it

will inevitably claim more lives more at guys do you have see from that as sort of syria. meanwhile russian strategic bombers have carried out strikes on isilon delos for positions in the syrian provinces of deir ez-zor and it lip the defense ministry said all targets were located outside residential areas. i.

the war of words continues to escalate between the u.s. and north korea donald trump's now said the u.s. is fully prepared to explore military options against pyongyang if washington feels it's needed at the same time a state department spokesperson stressed that the us president is an effective communicator while trying to deal with north korea we are totally prepared for the second option not a preferred option but if we take that option it will be devastating i can tell you that devastating for north korea that's called the military option if we have to take it we will the president certainly. is a very effective communicator and the president speaks very clearly in terms of his position coming out of the white house. cut him open now breaks down the sparring between trump and north korea. well apparently donald trump is an effective communicator he doesn't want to attack north korea while at the same time he does

he's been threatening north korea with military options for quite a while and we've heard kim jong on and the leaders of north korea responding there was the recent statement saying little rocket man won't stay much longer we've seen angry responses from north korea heather nauert was asked at the state department about whether she thought it was helpful for donald trump to speak this way on social media i feel that the name calling and the statements made over twitter on north korea you feel like that is effective communication i think the president is an effective communicator i think people know exactly where he stands we have had a good deal of success in pushing forward with our diplomacy campaign that hasn't changed that certainly hasn't changed in the president has helped rally the world together rally the world together in the peaceful pressure campaign against him john regime so apparently she considers threatening

a country that has nuclear capabilities with destruction to be a great diplomatic success and this doesn't sit well with pianka they fired back with their own responses we've been having this warmongering rhetoric back and forth between the leaders of north korea and the leaders of the united states for months now the escalation of terms has increased the question is when will this rhetoric transform into something more serious. of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has failed states is prepared to use the full range of our capability. to defend ourselves and our allies our respective leaders came to an omega said the u.s. would be unhappy to witness north korea strategic power on its independence day and

call for frequently big and small new packages. that's not make it worth the rest of the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen north korea has finished preparation for a go on strike and will launch it if the u.s. does not act sensible to the united states george territories will be met with a master of military response the u.s. neglects the international community's will to stop list b.s. on the korean peninsula pyongyang will retaliate against its arms to impose sanctions and pressure from washington with powerful council measures the forthcoming measures to be taken by the cake because the us the greatest pain and suffering this ever gone through in its entire history to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. since the united states declared war on our country we will have every right to

take countermeasures including the right to shoot down u.s. strategic bombers even when they are not inside our country's airspace. your politics analyst josephs chang told us he believes president trumps trying to sound hard on north korea to sing tougher. the messages are certainly very confusing in his united nations general assembly speech president triumph to totally destroy north korea the statement was aim to please his right wing nationalists constituents at the same time his government officials have been stating. the united space doesn't see a region change in korea north korea is expected to continue to engage in nuclear. only rather frequent. since no

politics and political factors that are essentially driving political violence the whole idea of hate preachers what it basically sais is that the individuals who walk inducting the violence themselves have no political agency they are simply being manipulated and groomed and therefore we can stop this grooming from happening by dealing with the hate preachers when the reality of the matter is that these are political issues that are operating overwhelmingly on a structural level so whilst of course we can have a discussion and debate around individual ideologues the reality is that stability and some resemblance of peace will only happen when the structural change . for the two thousand british football fans have descended on the russian capital for u.a.e. for champions league matches liverpool supporters got

hello again the high level call for the united states to abandon its military campaign in afghanistan and focus on a more political solution it comes from pakistan's foreign minister who's been speaking in an exclusive interview with our correspondents america. we spoke with khwaja aasif the foreign minister of caucus thought that a critical point when u.s. box on relations are at an all time low only today joseph dunford a top u.s. general expressed his peace something i do not believe that we can attain or objectives in afghanistan chairman and less we materially change the behavior of pakistan now the u.s. does not believe obvious honest answer is to fight terror saying that the pox on it in a simple or easy let's stress the foreign minister also stated that despite what the u.s. thinks there is no military solution to the conflict. so did this this sort of thing that more than a sponsor led to today's wars mortars sponsible approach is needed to solve this

problem and it has to be politically you know military patrols share in the boston last three four decades in this region has not worked. from nine eleven we again became an. american effort in afghanistan instead of recognizing our contribution reach today when we look back in hindsight really can see. full of confidence that it was a mistake after nine eleven we again it appeared the same mistake and what happens today that americans are accusing of harboring terrorists america not accusing of having sanctuaries on our soil grid as. control almost forty percent of the dead tree they don't need. to operate

from they have plenty of. good they're going to have sanctuary they can have bases they're going to have their families over there they can operate for from there against anybody you know. scapegoating box on scapegoating by a by. by washington this is one acceptable you know box in a park. in the us over sixty seventy years have been partners in defense of alliances we have been their strategic partners so this is something you know which bits compels us to rethink the whole. alignment and. this. and then they tell us that they have given us billions or more billions you know. a huge fire at an arms depo in western ukraine has forced the evacuation of nearly thirty thousand people to safety the fire caused shells to detonate with

fragments reaching a city twenty kilometers away the air space within fifty kilometer radius has also been closed to aviation authorities locally and now working to bring the situation under control ukraine's prime minister says the fire may have been caused by an expert. in fact. the us media as well as the social networks are getting worked up over who's for and against american football players who knelt during the national anthem however lots of people debating it seem to forget that until twenty sixteen a lot of celebrations before games were funded by the pentagon is my go francis santiago. american football and donald trump just don't mix trump has lashed out at a fellow players for bending the need during the national anthem and the protests just keep on coming let's recap what you love to see one of these n.f.l. owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a up the field right now out he's trying to use the sports platform to try to

divide. this president needs a good history lesson i'm pissed off i'll be honest with you but this is the news you got to not only our players but are we it's basically ignorance he doesn't understand it i'm not sure if our president understands those rights if the people who benefited most from america despise it and increasingly they do what does that leave the rest of us and there is also a hash tag war on the social media the date they need team defense players rights in their protest against police brutality and they're up against the respect the flag team posting videos like this of players jerseys and n.f.l. memorabilia being burnt now the last time the bend the knee argument got this much attention was of course over the game of thrones i'm not here to bend the knee and join me over fees and down since there is

a lot of talk about respect and pride when it comes to your country here is a patriot senator mccain i was appalled to learn last month that many of the ceremonies honoring members of our armed services at n.f.l. games are not actually being conducted out of a sensor. patriotism but for profit in the form of millions of dollars in taxpayers' money going from the department of defense to wealthy enough else franchisors back in two thousand and fifteen mr mccain came out with a detailed report on how n.f.l. national anthem celebrations were actually being paid for by the part of the fence here's where the taxpayers' dollars were going to on field color guard performances of the national anthem and full field flag ceremonies now this report lists sports teams who got the cash for patriotic ceremonies however the funds have dried up since twenty sixteen asked senators put a stop to what they called aid patriotism returning to trump's own to rot against

the n.f.l. teams arthur blank owner of the atlanta falcons says trump creates division and undermines the ideals of american democracy but the falcons got a total of eight hundred seventy nine thousand dollars in just four years now robert kraft of the new england patriots said that he was deeply disappointed by trump's comments but a couple of years before that his team got seven hundred thousand dollars of funds for national anthem ceremonies now trumps remarks were divisive and this respectful the criticism coming from terry and kim of the owners of the buffalo bills they took six hundred fifty thousand dollars from the d.o.d. back when paid patriotism was allowed let's not get it twisted for his sake in these billionaire owners like jerry jones of the. craft the pages they could care less about civil rights they could care less about the state of black america in this struggle against police terror but they knew that if they sided with the troll

who was extremely unpopular in all spheres of american society the owner is risked a walk some type of players strike there was such incredible unity among the players that the owners had no choice but the laws are in with the players they were protecting their own interests and their own bottom would. the way the world looks this i would you make out in thirty minutes i'll be here to update you again thanks for watching. i'm on a few. some of my eggs from the future

again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. there was a time when hollywood in the entertainment business used to do exactly that entertain us today there is a very different partisan reality now they assume their mission is to educate us and demand political conformity with the country evenly split is this a losing proposition.
