turkish president isn't happy about america building an army of it's. now america's acknowledged it's established an army of terror along our country's border it's up to us to drown this army of terror before it is born that's tough coalition trained fighters are about to be attacked by a coalition member what kind of alliance is that add to that the us apparently told no one it was building the new army any activities that we take part in with regard to the syrian democratic forces is something that's internal only internal only to syria internal not but elements been trained by the us are reportedly on the move preparing to defend against that offensive and need to offensive with weapons given to them by washington how's that for a tragic twist to expend so much strength time and money to defeat isis you

need to set the stage for another war a war within the n.c. isis coalition. syria's main kurdish party appeal to world powers to act on turkey's threats kurds in europe of taking to the streets to protest against ankara's operations on the turkish syrian border and we asked regional lists about what to expect from washington which might have to make a choice between its nato partner and its main ally in syria. but we have to be honest american right now using the kurds as a boots on the ground nothing more nothing less and also to put pressure on turks to put pressure on russians to bring a peace deal to syria and iran. and really this is the sad thing you know america betrayed the kurds in iraq and they're about ready to betray them in syria at this moment they're only stay in iran just again to put a pressure. on turks and russian to make

a deal in syria and argue turkey will will not stand by the kurdish area and this is a serious mistake and maybe america is allowing this to happen to get turkey in trouble or even i think it is on the friends of the usa don't not get sacked or what the usa want there is no clearance in politics towards a region or specially for the kurds to. remember. there is a problem if one member of an outdoors to eat it. should actually. know. this is very difficult to see that is that because it's coming from the. usa which supports the least of all if there is a real conflict with to be sure the usa will not. bags. today

that is a problem for me. the us president donald trump says he doubts talks with north korea could lead to anything meaningful adding that his previous answer is also failed in such a times but his comments came after north and south korea agreed to go to the olympics under a unified flag in a breakthrough deal following direct talks between the two countries r.t. correspondent caleb maupin has more on what trump has said now in his latest interview. i'm not sure the talks will lead to anything meaningful they've talked for twenty five years and they've taken advantage of our presidents of our previous presidents to listen to trump's words you would think that the dialogue currently taking place between the north and the south was irrelevant that nothing was happening but it looks like some historic breakthroughs have actually taken place this is what's was recently announced. to the north and south who marched together in the opening ceremony under the korean peninsula flag and form a single north south female ice hockey team. so here we have upcoming a

joint women's ice hockey team that will be playing in the olympic games competing under a unified korean flag this is this is a huge breakthrough we also have two hundred thirty north koreans who are actually coming to the olympics to cheer and observe the games so there are some big breakthroughs going on but trump does not think they are significant trump did not only criticize north korea he's also called out china saying that he praised their efforts but he wished that they would do more and he said that russia wasn't helping at all now russia was a signatory to the recent sanctions on north korea and they have stated over and over again that they have not at any point breached those sanctions that they signed on to now with all of this with his criticism not just of north korea but also of russia and of china donald trump seemed to be emphasizing that he believed that his approach and which the north koreans were met with more isolation more

economic sanctions more threats and more of a punitive approach he believed that that approach was the best way to bring peace to the korean peninsula intensifying pressure on north korea was also the key agenda of a meeting in kind of between the western allies of the one nine hundred fifty s. korean war but the gathering ignored the fact the north and south were already holding direct talks and the vancouver meeting also failed to invite key regional players that of russia and china unless we spoke to believe washington fear is a lesser role in this crisis. the president. somehow believes that this pressure approach is the is something different than that has been applied before which it isn't and in reality he wants to pull back some of the thunder if you will back to washington because you have again the north and south talking i think the u.s.

is a little jekyll and hyde with its policies because on one hand it wants to have a resolution wants to have de mille nuclearization wants to have peace and on the other hand pumps up this rhetoric and so the motivations relate to finances they relate to geo political factors of the u.s. power in the region if you will and they relate to trying to ice out china and russia a little bit as a player in this as was evident in vancouver the u.s. is constantly menacing north korea constantly threatening north korea carrying out war exercises that simulate the destruction of north korea a country that was destroyed by the united states between one thousand nine hundred fifty three forty five million koreans died there wasn't one structure there one story still standing as a consequence of u.s. bombers and the main complaint of american pilots was there was nothing left to bomb in that war so it the u.s.

annihilated north korea here we have donald trump saying he's promising to do the same from the from the podium of the u.n. just a couple months ago and now trump will reflect that i think not just as own personal position but that of the military industrial complex in america fears that peace may be breaking out in the korean peninsula between the two koreas that that's alarming to trump into the military industrial complex but very welcomed by all the people in the world. switzerland may not be in the e.u. but it could still be facing its own version of brecht's that the swiss people's party has received permission to collect signatures and so. of a referendum to end switzerland's free movement agreement with the e.u. the move would hand back to the country full control over immigration at the moment of the current policy allows e.u. citizens to live and work freely in switzerland and vice versa the s. and p. has until july next year to collect one hundred thousand signatures if successful the proposal will be considered by the government and parliament in bern before

being put to a vote of the co-president of the youth wing of the s.v.p. is convinced the public would vote in favor of stopping free movement we are the biggest party in switzerland we are the strongest party and we have made a lot of initiatives and in two thousand and fourteen this was people's party has launched that initiative against mass immigration so why shouldn't it work a second time and i'm sure this race people will vote for that initiative that we can stop that free movement to deal with the european union although the results of the twenty fourteen referendum aimed to limit immigration from the e.u. quotas were never imposed by parliament instead m.p.'s agreed on a solution to give unemployed domestic workers preference over edu nationals seeking jobs in switzerland and again believe the amount of new arrivals is simply unsustainable. we have got massive problems with mass migration and we wanted to

stop that we had a migration at the early to switzerland for it with about eight hundred thousand persons that's really a threat to our democracy which will end always wants to remain remain independent neutral and free and then to parliament and the government of switzerland had to tie him to implement that initiative but they didn't implement that initiative from two thousand and fourteen because they maybe are scared after reaction for the european union so i think it is really a big problem because we have got all those left wing politicians in our parliament and the government and that's the reason why that initiative against mass immigration couldn't be implemented. twelve activists in the californian city of ellicott holland have been detained after they were caught trying to feed homeless people in a park according to current legislation it is illegal to share food in public

places that attention was caught on camera. you're going to have you to find out. if you. know if you know the feeding tube or the ban on public food sharing and alcohol and was introduced back in october last year as a precaution against an outbreak of infectious hepatitis a the penalty for breaking the law can be up to a thousand dollar fine or even a six month jail term. well we talked to activists who of course by police they claim the legislation actually has the opposite effect of what it's meant to do. the homeless people who were there were very thankful that we were standing up and they were very upset that the mayor in the city council members could pass such a heartless ordinance and none of those government officials come out to the park and talk to those people it really seems like this is part of the city of alcohol and the effort to criminalize homelessness they've already made it made it against the law to panhandle to sleep on the sidewalk so this is really like the next step

in trying to push the homeless out of their city and the big justification that they use was the having outbreak in the in the eggo and they say all the parkers the parks are so contaminated with hepatitis a that we don't want the homeless people to catch and start trying to protect them but everybody else can still go and have a party at the park and share food with each other and they wrote out into the ordinance and that's what makes it discriminatory because it targets so much our relationship you know it's everybody else is not magically immune from have to try to stay within the same space so clearly there are this is not about hepatitis a and the mayor has made comments in public session at the city council meetings where he has said we're trying to make the park less inviting to homeless people. a recent report by the un outlined the difficulties homeless people currently face.

we see an average of seven to eight hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that move deliver more joy higher wages and mask. tax relief. since the recession we have not recovered the homeless homelessness is actually increased there is a problem with high property values air b.n. b. is buying up a local properties and evicting the tenants the mayor and alcohol of like everyone to think that all homeless people are drug addicts and that is absolutely not the case we have a very high percentage of our homeless are veterans we have

a high percentage of people who are working in this growing criminalize ation of people who are poor and powerless. really is also a bigger problem with the mass incarceration of that happens in our country where we have for profit prisons with companies making money off of jailing people. well thanks for joining us so far here on aussie international just a moment my colleague joining me live here in the studio to shed more light on a thought well going deeper into the story of doping allegations against russia. is iran must going to fit into steve jobs is by coming up with innovative products you know the electronic gadget market is a little bit different in the car business because the car business is you know you kind of bound by the highway system and you're bound by the whole infrastructure that is the automotive industry and the lobbying of the automotive industry so it's

a bit difficult to be disruptive in that industry in a way he's going to open up his charging stations with one nine hundred fifty style burger and shake joints with servers on roller skates ok that's that's an idea that might take off that might be a new like starbucks like third place that people go to to have an experience that might work. join me every first lady on the alex salmond and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the olympics school this list i'm show business i'll see you then. i joining us here on r.t. international a new leak from the. hacking group. c.
