r.t. america. we are apparently better than. a sea diver heard of. the world bank. really seriously send us an e-mail. another setback for islamic state has the syrian army liberates now the city of my dean one of the terror groups last strongholds in the east of that country plus as we reviewed more the weak speaker stories. the syrian army continues to repel i saw from. our correspondent follows the troops as they free yet another village from the town. failed expectations and more uncertainty for spain that as catalonia as president gives ambiguous signals on the region's independence and madrid orders him to clarify whether or not he's actually

proclaimed it. and another big story from the week. from. a radio nuclear deal angering european allies who insist is complying with. good morning money was kevin zero in this is art international live from aid q it's just turned ten in the morning is something i haven't weekends going well this is a new survey of the week so we start with one of the big stories to tell you about the syrian government troops that have liberated the eastern city of al my from islamic state is the latest blow to the terror group which is now being steadily pushed from that war torn country.

each victory comes at a high human cost that the terrorists are fighting facing to retain their last strongholds in that region that's what the village of catalyst suffered this week you know on its way to being liberated more because you have a senior correspondent for the troops as they moved into that of an age. under a bright blue sky through devastated country across the euphrates over the only bridge in the entire province we came to the village of had less than

a day ago this was part of the caliphate but no longer from what we were told the syrian army's fifth division did the heavy lifting here much of had has already been swept and cleared but not all it isn't like the movies doors rarely open at the first peek. then came the first warning might. go to many no no no and. he was right it wasn't one of the. isis back up had arrived reinforce the jihad ists felt confident enough to pick a fight and we weren't in a good place the syrian army responded quickly but there was some confusion at

first. then about or. there will never know how many. five hundred meters from hadleigh village isis is making it. doesn't it dug in. behind that house over there. to. be harassing syrian troops what they're doing is they're driving around in circles using speed and distance as their protection taking potshots the other things hiding behind house driving out firing the critical. that in hiding back before the serious. with heavier weapons it isn't going to get the game the very much but it's a harassing kick in keeping everyone today during the fierce firefight one of the

pickup trucks stops here is one of the jihad ists briefly showing himself while spraying away on full auto with a clear targets out came the heavy of weapons. it was a miss try again. the scrap isis lost but everything you just saw was shot within the span of a single hour in one village with a small unit these scenes being repeated hourly across the front hundreds of kilometers wide more i guess d. of. from had syria. this last week the catalan president suspended

a declaration of independence and called for dialogue with madrid that move from to the spanish prime minister than to demand clarification on whether independence had been officially declared or not. that's not bad luck at all we ask for a mandate to declare catalonia an independent state. responsibly with all due respect i ask parliament to suspend the declaration of independence so that in the coming weeks we can undertake a dialogue but a good deal for the moment we formally require the catalan government to confirm if it has declared independence of catalonia after the deliberate confusion created over whether it has come into effect meantime people in catalonia have been left frustrated by the confusion many were visibly affected while listening to the president's announcement and deeply disappointed that the ed for its part would read this give the catalan president now till tomorrow monday to clarify the situation adding that he has three days after that to drop the declaration if it is

made it's going to be a crunch week coming up and this is situation is in barcelona covering what's happening. was saying that it was you could see. through their reach it was. that it is necessary to show rebellion i do not know if independence is the solution with this it demonstrates this half of the population is tied up with this independence will hurt both spayed and catalonia it took many years to make the country whole and to divide it just like that is absurd this particular square there are screens being set up where no doubt this area is going to be kept by people in the hours to come preparing to listen to this crucial if the problem is right there and we do know that because one leaders in their meeting with parliamentarians in the head of the

preparation of what's going to happen and people here despite this being a pro independence gathering really there is no certainty as of right now what exactly he's going to say. you know. he. is. an eminence i think he should have declared independence because now he says he wants time like the good lord has asked the spanish government like seventeen times and every time the doors have been closed so i believe today he would finally declare rates and i'm a bit disappointed he stated he didn't take a step forward that everybody wanted we understand he wife's dialogue but catalonia

has spoken and he wanted independence. on the map i'm still very happy because it means soon what he said. it will be carried out and it looks like in the end catalonia will finally be independent after so long that's what we need either a european only i want independence i don't want anything to do with spain and sisters wanted it it was but we were forced to be spanish and only if i ever can say that my nationality is catalan i'll be very happy i'm just not i know where the iconic sensual must clarify barcelona plus it's a lumia right now and it was feeling this way that joining streets that are out here thousands of people if you can see covered boxing from that direction towards this where they're still continuing to polish it carrying. off like it was not just the other this is that. this is where all of these people are coming

out to speak in support of the think that's. a major crisis to grip the country and the region president. really caused by your link to the law you should assume because it was it was cool thank you. for what he it's two weeks now since that independence referendum in catalonia where ninety percent to voted said they wanted to break away but there have been cases elsewhere in which yes votes in referendums haven't translated into any real change. catalans are holding their breath after the drama of their referendum will they end up sticking with spain after all all really go it alone and. i winning the referendum hasn't always brought about the desired goal let's look at

a couple of cases first up the greek bailout referendum in two thousand and fifteen prime minister alexis tsipras promised a no vote would mean an end to e.u. and i.m.f. imposed a stereotypic. a cooling on you to support this negotiation calling on you to say no to this recipient of a memorandum that's just doing europe. when an overwhelming no to a stereotype was returned tsipras caved in to the troika anyway there were a bunch of i'm telling you right here that i would take full responsibility for mistakes as well as the signing an agreement that i would do you believe in however i'm a ploy to implement it next up because this struggle for independence the self-proclaimed region and move in iraq has been raring to go certainly for years now citing tensions with baghdad we choose to live together with baghdad willingly if they don't want us to be their partners we refuse to be their servants and last month

emboldened by months of propelling islamic states from iraq the territories the region held an independence referendum almost ninety three percent voted in favor of going it's a lower. level now this is a new era for the kurdish people it is a turning point and we have to use it and this is a big victory for the kurdish people that was almost two weeks ago and since then silence with the same silence to fall in catalonia awaits to see. the big cross that in the wake of this one so the historic nuclear agreement with iran is in jeopardy after president trump announced on friday that he won't certified to runs compliance with the deal go it alone move may be that stiff i didn't ministration and america's allies it's also despite the global nuclear watchdog saying that iran has on its end of the bargain. we cannot and will not make this certification

a red is not living up to the spirit of the deal while that deal was how without under the obama administration in twenty fifteen along with russia france the u.k. china germany and iran it followed nine years of talks on a decade long standoff which many viewed at the time maybe as one of the world's most pressing crises back then now the u.s. secretary of state's been trying to rally european support over trump's decision friday but so far they've mostly reacted angrily. are all over it in europe or the region or the reverse order president of the united states as many posts not this one it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it we cannot afford as international community as europe for sure to dismantle and nuclear agreement that is working and delivering especially now this is

a difficult and in our view dangerous signal and the agreement with iran has shown for the first time that it's possible to prevent all through negotiations the destruction of this agreement would mean that others around the world no longer rely on such treaties it's therefore a danger that goes far beyond iran and that we in europe germany france the u.k. and the e.u. we stand by this agreement with iran we want to preserve the agreement after trump's announcement the deal is now in the hands of u.s. congress which has sixty days to decide whether or not impose sanctions against iran that will effectively end the agreement there's another scenario to that's to come up with new legislation maybe to try to mend the agreement but it's highly unlikely that other parties will agree to the new conditions the furred option as well is for the president to literally bypass congress and terminate it with an executive order it takes a look next why the truck might want to quit this huge deal. so donald trump's got a problem with what's known as iran's nuclear deal ok his not

a fan of iran in the first place he's confident it's still a nest for terrorists but is that a good enough reason to basically throw the compromise agreement that required so much diplomatic effort to the floor i mean when it comes to sticking to the deal terms the world agrees to iran is behaving so why the assumption the deals in jeopardy because of washington the house foreign affairs committee chairman explains the tehran regime clearly sees itself as a movement one that uses ideology and violence to destabilize its neighbors. to threaten others just for the record that was an american official talking about someone else promoting ideology and views using violence in other countries to get what they want isn't that a us thing like the golden rule of their foreign policy that we've seen in action so many times by acting now we are opposing our values protecting our interests and

advancing the cause of peace we will secure our nation protect our freedom help others to find freedom and to run the burdens of leadership are often heavy but the world's a better place because we have borne them what a historic background looks like mr royce might as well replace the words to iran regime with the names of american presidents they were the ones who loved promoting ideology i.e. democracy elsewhere yeah interventions are exactly what i'm talking about.

stay with us for can come out of the media whistleblower reveals alleged collusion between you tube a major u.s. newspaper you've got the on the cover of faith you know that story and more when the weekly contains. sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. for new socks for the tell you that every gossip the tabloids are files reporters. tell you that you are not old enough

to buy their products. these are the hawks that we along with all the walking. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington to washington the media the media the. voters elect the businessman to run this country business if. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. so potential collusion to new york times and you tube was revealed earlier this week in an online sting by the project veritas group which is going to reputation for uncovering some uncomfortable truths when the media of late is some of its

latest undercover video. very rare cases really. try to make up for the fact that something isn't in the treatment. that man's believed to be god ernest petty according to his linked in profile he is you choose brand and diversity curation leader in the video he then elaborates on how you choose sometimes intervenes to change trending videos. very rare but in those cases they. use something that intervention make sure that we. do. encourage the thing to be basically they provide in some cases ninety percent of what a lot of people receive as knows it's just not you two or you think of a picture of a doctor playing the piano this is the pipeline of new and if somebody can affect what news makes that bike like you have in essence and effectively affected the

transportation to and the transmission of data all over the world the cipro and she was the only person exposed in the project veritas video either it also features a guy called nicholas dudek he's apparently in or dns strategy editor for the new york times who's also thought to be a friend of patty's duty claims he previously worked on the election campaigns of both hillary clinton and barack obama he's on camera next saying he benefits from his relationship with you tube stuff and calls himself a so-called gate keeper of the new york times deciding what gets coverage and what doesn't. people shops it's like it's a recurrence of all of you for a page like your tissues out about it we don't know it's just because my current security probably. as an editor i mean i can see what those are that's what's great something nice i take it we've got you just

a few i. was i knew you were the story we got in touch with you tube for reaction is not given us any still as of yet but we did hear about the new york times let me tell you about that in a statement the newspaper admitted to do dick had apparently violated these ethics standards it also says he exaggerated the influence he had at the company communications director meantime a project veritas believes so called gate keeping in the media is a huge concern. certain political entities certain media entities rise to the top of the pecking order there is collusion between the social media networks and the major media outlets what we did was we caught it we caught them admitting it would caught them being candid on undercover video admitting what most people what most americans are what most people around the world strongly suspect was the case anyway but just couldn't prove we've just proved. mr dudek kind of the star of these first two videos pretty clear about having worked for two

presidential campaigns and wanting to continue his mission working for the new york times let's interesting is in the new york times statement they didn't rebut the accuracy of what we said we kind of suspected that if they will he is a low level guy but when they did they said he's a junior player but they didn't rebut the accuracy of what we put out they're just making excuses for. one of the worst the seats the mainstream media does an album major social media does through is gate keeping it's their role it's not necessarily stopping most pressing storylines that they don't want to hear don't want you to hear they've got debilitate to do a lot more didn't they used to in the start of days of the internet and when new york and new york times and you tube aren't bad the bastard child of that relationship is fake news. story happening right now next voting is underway in austria snap parliamentary election in which three parties are joking position on the chance to install the next johnson with the rifty crisis having dominated much

of the campaign that the biggest parties have been trying to woo voters by shifting to the right normally least to head off a sage in the polls for the anti immigration freedom party which narrowly missed out in last year's presidential election and found across europe this year a coast populous parties have been seeing success. today. even at the cost say the. did you see that through. the. book of the hard work for. everybody to learn that even if you. live to vienna covering. still ongoing paula it's been an early start to for austrian voters. like where you are.

but i'm standing here in front of a voting station which as you can see is still quite quiet the polls opened a short time ago and they'll remain open until five o'clock this afternoon local time this is an election that is being closely monitored not only here in the wall street but across europe as six point four million people are too costly ballot sebastián code says people's party is widely expected to come in with more than fifty percent of the votes it is running on a platform of being tough on immigration which dovetails with the program being presented by a right wing party known as the freedom party that is also being touted as a party that will come in second with around twenty five percent of the vote speaking to. a possibility that the two parties could form a coalition although having said that the freedom party is accusing sebastian

people's party of stealing some of its proposals. but nobody is coming into the country without registration without a passport no one should be allowed to enter austria i will do everything possible to stop illegal immigration i am asking that social benefits for non austrians be significantly reduced. will do everything we can to end the abuse of our social system makes a point to now what is the mix and thirty point. is that voters are turning white here in austria and the reasons are numerous firstly you have high unemployment secondly there is a lack of economic growth and thirdly of course there are fears of migration now the current government certainly appears not to have addressed these issues and we could have a situation in which the ruling party finds itself pushed into the opposition on saturday the austrian chancellor warned against choosing

a rightwing alliance that the country finds itself at one of the most important crossroads in decades despite that however it does seem highly likely that austria could be on the road to forming a government. get a fair idea in the coming hours certainly. some of the main news stories. of the international coverage in our weekly news review of the week now into the. still exist. rico's treated as one. of. the islanders controlled by the u.s. government. crave independence.
