for the u.s. president. well the u.s. president has been quick to reject reports teammate offensive remarks about a number of countries he's tweeted his language in the meeting was tough but he didn't use the words attributed to him trump went on to accuse the democrats of making up the allegations that he was derogatory about haitians suggesting he should record all of his future meetings but one democratic senator who was out the meeting insists trump did make the crude remark it is not true he said these who for the things that he said that when people see the comments in the press i've not read one of them it's in there. the u.s. has revealed about country iran is part of its on going operations in syria after the fall of islamic state and among the key reasons a military presence will remain there the announcement was made during

a senate hearing on thursday the president has committed as a matter of strategy that we will not leave syria we're going to stay for several reasons stabilization and assistance in the vital north and northeast protection of our allies the syrian democratic forces but for other reasons as well including countering iran. but those offer up a lot of question doesn't it let's try and answer some of them and go live to middle east expert as ziad elise a visceral highs and a good to have you on the program the u.s. claimed it was in syria to fight i say lots what we heard all along no it's going to kuntar iran was not part of the plan all along do you think. i do believe that this is part and parcel of a concerted effort and straining to keep shifting the goalposts they claimed they were in syria to actually fight and eradicate eisel when in reality when they

actually sat on the fence in iraq and they stood ideally by why while actually allowing us to expand and to reach the actually the borders of baghdad it was in reality the mobilization forces in iraq and and also the syrian army doctor by both russia and also iran that managed to turn the tide and turn the table on isis. formed and was parked and was actually leading. alliance. of that have conducted a faltering campaign and launching a few and far between strikes that have managed to turn the whole conflict into a. protracted conflict if it wasn't for the russia that russian intervention

carrying out most effective efficient and robust. campaign against eisel that actually helped out. and wipe out i do believe what the us and their trump administration is actually showing that they have not moved away or shifted away from the obama's administration purpose and that is to actually maintain and preserve their presence in syria and also in iraq and installed up general to be liason point is it really crucial then for the u.s. to contra run from syrian territory or is it a cloak to conduct their operations what's your take on the. i do believe they and not going to come to a rainy and influence the so-called in the iranian influence which has been

according to the rest of the world so powerful and so effective in tackling had gone i still and. which terrorists station so iran has been fighting as spot an integral part of an alliance with russia and the syrian army and the popular mobilization forces and effective campaign against isis i do believe that the us is cooperating with has played an instrumental role in funding and also exporting its hardline extremist. has been actually utilized and used by you know to take the fight against those against those countries i just want to get out your earth. i just want to get your thoughts on this because we've got a piece of footage i want to play you it's an interesting remark made about moscow just let's listen i'll get your take afterwards i don't want to see any foreign

entities inside of syria. well russians or foreign interests for example a foreign entity do you think it's realistic for russia to completely pull out of syria at this point. of course it's unrealistic needs to be there to stabilize the situation and even the us has admitted that russia is that to destabilize the whole situation while actually it is in the us and so interest to destabilize the situation derail and also discredit the political initiative that is backed by iran and in order to find a peaceful resignation to the whole crisis it is in the us interests and it serves as an excuse but if a pretext to actually continue and build up its present in syria under the pretext that this time is that to contest it raining and influence when we've seen that it

has had actually admitted russian influence have been stabilizing the entire country washington also stressed that it won't help with reconstruction programs in syrian government held areas this is exactly what was said there is a credible political process by credible we mean supported by the syrian people they can lead to a government chosen by the syrian people without our saw that it's home at the end of the process the u.s. and our allies will not support large scale efforts to reconstruct syria that leads to an interesting point doesn't it will the u.s. be able to use reconstruction as a sort of leverage over the syrian people to essentially make sure by shar al assad loses support. that's what they have been trying to say that they are in that to actually help the syrian people to achieve democracy when we see that the closeness

and staunchest ally of all of the us has been throughout all the administration the main exporter and the bastion of dictatorship and terror any that is saudi arabia was actually funded according to the us again according to our official obama himself clinton by doing that the main sponsor of the main funding their main arming has come from the saudi arabia which is a bastion of dictatorship so to actually use reconstruction and to use sanctions against russia in order to destabilize the whole country to amplify that is of insecurity and to more to promote sectarian and ethnic tension within the country in order to use it as an excuse to actually build up democracy i i i do think that it actually doesn't have a leg to stand on thank you so much for coming on the program this hour and sharing your thoughts ziad alisa speaking to us from london a middle east expert thank you. it is now the sixth consecutive

friday the palestinians have come out in force to protest donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital at least three protesters have been injured in clashes in gaza from where local journalist dari has been reporting for us while palestinians are outraging the israelis are throwing tear gas canisters. as you see it tear gas were filling the place everyone everyone is in hand and now there are at least two injuries we can see they do right. as you can see they are right in the leg from the tear gas canisters that we're

seconds time stay with us if you can. unfortunately it appears that once people learn that you've reported a sexual assault or may have been involved in an incident that they become scared of you instead of being scared of the perpetrator. apply for many clubs over the years so i know that. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money. and spending to get to the twenty million . it's an experience like nothing else not to be true so i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful. great transfer.

hello again germany's major parties have seen many overcome a number of stumbling blocks as they look to form a new government however the longest period of coalition building since the second world war looks likely to return the same people on parties to power for another term charlotte toobin ski is in berlin with more. but what we know is this is a very small step on the way to potentially forming a new grand coalition between these parties and then forming a government here in germany but is it a government that the german people want if we look at the elections both of these

parties actually lost support in the last election which has left them struggling to be able to find coalition partners in fact many people in germany are unhappy with the idea of returning to this old grand coalition style these are the two parties who worked together in the previous tenant see here in germany fifty two percent of people in a poll that was held by a german public broadcaster say they didn't want these two to get back together and that has not been left unnoticed by the party leaders themselves. this is the right response to september's election all three of us were far from impressed with the results back then it was a signal to politicians that things can't continue down this path anymore. well one of the things that the c.d.u. and the social democrats have agreed on is that they will look to limit the number of migrants coming into germany asylum seekers and refugees that would be between

one hundred eighty and two hundred and twenty thousand people limited annually that also be no tax increases and there would be more money for the e.u. but this is a small step on a long path to go that is very tricky from here on out the social democrats have to take this blueprint back to their party members their party members have to approve it that vote will take place on january twenty first if it's approved then they can start formal coalition negotiations but then whatever is agreed to in those coalition negotiations will again have to be put back to the social democrats to vote on so angela merkel may be out of the woods but this is far from over and germany could be without a government. many many more weeks. russia's defense ministry say's its military has destroyed the rebels it believes were responsible for an attack on one of its bases in syria on the thirty first of december it ses the

fighters were tracked down using drones and other intelligence data they were then struck as they're reporting a minibus the new year's eve attack on the russian air base left two servicemen dead the defense ministry no warplanes were damaged in that instant despite reports to the contrary moscow also say's it has destroyed a rebel facility an adlib it was used for building follows a separate on successful attack and two other russian bases last week in which aerial vehicles were used on thursday president putin said in a press conference that he knows who was behind those assault. and they were provoked that play the birds it wasn't the turks we know who they are as regards the attacks themselves we have no doubt they had been well prepared beforehand those drones were made to look makeshift but in actual fact they clearly contain high tech elements that couldn't possibly have been assembled on the ground in syria. all right one of britain's leading all girls schools

decided to stop referring to its pupils as girls in a controversial move to adopt more gender neutral language altering them grammar school for girls defended its policy saying they are trying to break in grained hobbits to help students with gender identity issues adding that quote we welcome celebrate diversity although some people have already come up we'll turn of the names for the school itself.

drop the word girls from it and we are some of the locals what they think of the new gender neutral. the majority would be happy to be called it's ridiculous i think girls are girls and boys are boys there's too many pressures on pupils too much attempt to move everything towards gender neutrality i think it actually leads to more confusion rather than clarification this is a girls' school and it's extraordinary that children are being encouraged to go along the path we're going to have more and more children with mental health problems who are confused and by all means support the gender issue but don't do it at the expense of the majority do not rob them of their gender identity we only need to apply those basic principles of religion that we treat other people how we wish to be treated and we saw with the problem we need to stop pushing adult neuroses onto these young children that's our friday evening news round up for no

i'll be back in half an hour's time but in the mean time more r.t. program start just a moment. when you. see. what my. space. page. said. to no seven to let. you speak french. was. so busy.

called. something old in the size of no white's a chop a full that's a mite's of mine replied not saying i'm forced to get a flight in the night seeming ninety four welcome to the no weekend nationals a mad he's the manager of the local people flogging premier late same here you know like it's a chop with last. year well. look you very well. go on to write about dressing rooms. where in the home just in room his son feel no wait in a premier league with want to i was from kick off would be given privileged access you see here talent of talent doesn't work cause that's one of the things in dressing rooms around the world that inspirational comments to be able to get the players up and ready for the guy and the place to the nines the lockers all of kate's day and as we move around the dressing room that's

a quote there from pep guardiola in norwegian and then we get round again we've got the players cate and his little luck. with the big sis and of course most bohemian . nelson forest but ninety nine hundred ninety s. has begun to fall. dalby can see blackburn rovers so alex ferguson quote if you give him once you will give him twice and no dressing room should ever be without music pretty much when i was a player it was hey paul pete was rap exactly the same in twenty seven saying the players get a choice of music a couple of bikes hits a wall and the no way to impress me early on some field is ready to go. you have a new laws you have a new i'm ready ready supply play upfront to die goals.

fail to prepare prepare to fail. well. this is the boss's room and this is where laws of these technical stuff fall before the game with bain in the home dressing room it would just show you around quickly this is where all the coaches usually three four five coaches fit is people physios. is the boss is my foreman say might last bohemian nice to say the in the twenty seven saying when plays a pink pruett's goal big silver boots he's gone for the all classics copra monday owl that's what he used to way when he used to give me a. noise to say they still has them now. and again to explode so he will just sit with the coaches and decide who's playing who's playing way. the couch is for. political reasons which is

unusual so you know c n n live there. so when being in the dressing room we want to chat with the boss before the big guy in the no wage i'm primarily on the last minute preparations you can say the play is now it's gotten talking. that. that something fueled one to go still hailed a very soldier let's wait to see which keeps them in the know waging friendly

molded like for another season that means a very popular man in just a hop the last boeing and we can have a chat with him in the morning. was. the . last to launch into beer and in sun fuel it's fantastic win yesterday which may well keep your in the norwegian premier league for the ses an incredible achievement for such a small club. i've seen you do so to be sure more you've played doing when you've played well copes one management was so i was a sports director for a while and i thought i was quite an interesting job but it was too far away from the pitch too far away from where the decision decisions well. made. less contact with a player so i tried. coaching in a second division team i really love that we did well and. good season and then

this club picked me up and i been there four years now and i just love it it's the closest thing that you can get to being a player and show you my city or your number she's managed you want to go back to england we played. burnell france or italy or spain is it the plan. it's part of my. my dream to be honest but i am in no rush i have. plenty of time but i have some time i'm getting older but i'd like to go abroad and it's difficult to say i mean no region managers in england has been really successful but. i want to go abroad and see what i can do and i definitely want to go to a bigger club with bigger resources that can win at least at least titles and this club that's going to be difficult so we'll be building clubs here. building this

club over four years and it's a limited it's limited to how far i can go here. in the dressing room the quotes one from pep guardiola mum from sir alex ferguson. inspirational quotes which is normal i mean dressing rooms. really inspirational and i think i've taken. a little bit from from many also from people who haven't. been playing around for years and as a leader more maybe then as a coach marine you as a coach. thorough. planned everything is structured us everything is and also how he does everything to win and he's prepared to do everything sacrificed everything to win and sometimes it goes over the line i think but. try to steal from every i could be from a second division coach here in this country could be from from tried to still.

come. on to ninety four world cup second ranked team in the world in the mid ninety's going to wage a national. fifteen i. experience then why was that no special in the mates knowing. why is the bring the drop off it was a big. generation from the guys born in sixty eight sixty nine seventy maybe seventy one was there was also a time when. when england open up a little bit for foreigners and the reason players got really popular they also got to play regularly in the top teams and that for me it made all the difference. when we then came and played holland in england we were like baffled by the situations we thought we could we could win i think in ninety five ninety six in that period we had over twenty players playing in england top teams and playing regularly and

now. hardly any thing. but i think that it's got to do with the football is good but that the football caught up with us a little bit we did some stuff in that period organizing the football being playing for five one really cynical football very direct very good playing in the zone of defense system that we did really well now the team it's different cultures different opposition i think that the teams around us is caught up with the us over time and we haven't been doing good work in this country for many years i think for us we need to find sort of a nice that we could be really good at and we can start climbing but we'll never be number two again never will never happen would you be interested in managing the norwegian national team at some stage in your career maybe in ten fifteen years that would probably feel natural and the right place to be so yeah in the long term

i would do that and you also see now we've got. you know all of their coaching. fifteen sixteen seventeen so they're in there and i think that the whole the whole group from the from that generation is sort of dominating the region football at the moment and i think that's good we'll develop. our game from that. i don't think it's just me wants to be a national coach in about ten or fifteen years there's a few others i think i want to build out as well from my from my generation. or ideally what would laws by going to be doing in the next five or ten used on what would a career path big get a bigger club in norway. and do well with and move abroad and the most natural thing for no reason coaches to i do go to denmark or to to sweden and if you get one of those clubs and then you do well and i think that. it would or could be realistic to to talk about england if you look at some of the other

courses that we've had like stalled us one bucket was a move so yeah. we tend to go all the go that route all the all of the they don't go from norway and then straight to england the germany or poland like that it needs to be a career that's been built up so they see that you can manage different levels of football and at the moment i'm at the bottom level so i've got a few steps to go last thank you good good thanks good to see a pleasure. join us after the break as we speak it's a form of woke up golden when the governing the cup stay with us. financial guy i don't buy any i'm only fifty. five. i still have some of my.
