what's wrong with respect to promote human and we are hopeful that our freedom and we're. not going to do the right. thank. you. thank you thank you thank you demands that the u.s. ends its support for syrian kurds and dispatched between two countries over washington trained border forces. a new leak from the fancy banners hacking group

obtained by our tea raises concerns over how doping cases were handled during the winter olympics in twenty sixteen. twitter says it will notify users about russian trolls raising concerns over how the social media giant will identify the i thank. you. very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with me and he arun good to have you with us this hour washington is downplaying its support for the kurds made threats from turkey of a military attack on kurdish positions inside syria and korea is furious over what it sees as broken u.s. promises to stop backing syria's kurds are senior regional correspondent laura gals do you have her. turkey isn't kidding around day after day it is pulling

more tanks and more missiles more troops to the syrian border this is the pregnant to a new war a war within the u.s. led coalition should. 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. one of the reasons is america's new army or border force which is what it was originally the u.s. led coalition told us in this letter that it was establishing a border security force an army of kurds patrol the border with turkey now that is preparing to invade the u.s. has done a one hundred eighty degree turn that entire situation has been missed but treat misdescribed some people misspoke we are not creating

a border security force at all the story has changed it's not a new army or a border force it's thirty thousand troops that will be trained to prevent isis is return on paper for now and if turkey doesn't put a stop to it state department is now on overdrive you get the sense that they'll be bending over backwards for a valuable ally turkey is a very important value nato ally we have a lot of interactions with the turkish government as you probably know the foreign minister of turkey is in vancouver right now i where i believe he will be meeting or have some sort of a chat with secretary taylor sent or at least some of our representatives later today so an important nato ally let's not kid around by all appearances america doesn't want to leave syria victory or no rex tillerson all but said so himself and that is the tragic twist to expend so many lives so much time. and money to defeat

isis we need to set the stage for another war a war within the anti isis coalition. let's talk to international relations expert jamal wakim now about the dispute between the two allies mr working welcome to the program it's good to see you now this is sound reasonable to you that someone at the pentagon may have pushed out the wrong message by mistake as the secretary of state is now claiming always rex tillerson simply engaging in damage and limitation here. i believe that it's the second option he's trying to limit the damage that was caused to the turkish american relations with this new american moved by establishing this border to me under the pretext of protecting the border city and border with iraq and with thirty but i believe the main geopolitical objective here is for the united states to have

a good army in syria that could ensure the united states. foothold on syrian soil prevents the syrian government from extending its control over to the. northeast part of syria this region is crucial for the united states because it links syria to iraq and if this happens the united states feels that it would influence would be forgotten by this and that he didn't know turkey's clearly doesn't seem convinced by rex tillerson is what does it it's going back to this old mantra as though the u.s. having broken its promises to ankara do you think that turkey is just milking this spots now. well i believe that is very much water used with this development especially that the number of troops amounts to thirty thousand was declared by the pentagon and this would ensure that the kurds

would have a striking force right on the border of turkey and this could encourage the kurds of eastern turkey to step up their demands up to. the demand of autonomy or even independence from turkey this has been put on the agenda long ago and every now and then. this issue of giving the kurds their own right to statehood. rises up so i believe that the turks have their reason to be worried about the national security of thirty especially that they consider themselves as allies of the united states however the united states is doing what the terms consider as an infringement on on their national security so i believe that this is a critical issue for the turks and i don't believe that the would.

not act against such an american step they wouldn't enter into confrontation with the united states army however they would act against the kurds in northeastern syria when i say turkey does act on its to a state does go ahead and launch a direct military attack on kurdish positions in syria what kind of what the consequences of that what the repercussions be. well i believe that this could cause anger in the united states specially in the. white house because it seems that the white house is not coordinating its moves and decisions with the state department so i believe that this could be a reason for discontent in the united states and that and that's why i believe that the turks could limit their actions. just to control the border and to check the presence of the kurds militants on the other side of the border in syria

but the i believe that this could also. spill violence between the two sides. we need to wait and see but i don't believe that the turks are. that happy with the american move and this could bring turkey closer to iran and russia which are considered as the force to the united states and the region because your take on face situation jamaal what came international relations expert thank you for your time thank you. at least one hundred twenty inmates have refused to return to their cells that are tourists french prison they appear said to be a topic of islamic extremism. among the inmates there is. who is behind the deadly paris attacks of november twenty

fifth the incident follows a strike by two hundred prison guards over security concerns at the jail it's not the first strike to hit a french prison this week with guards fearing for their lives. a little you took all our work is very dangerous where we have aggression and experience annoyance which is not taking into consideration by the government. it has become more and more difficult for us to actually have seen physical aggression towards my colleagues every day it happens every time we open the doors of support in the city we denounce the working indications of our colleagues in the prison the security conditions the numerous acts of aggression against them we want salaries to be increased for those who face such risks at work as well as an increase in personnel and better security. and i leapt from the found sea bass hacking group obtained by r.t. has raised questions about how doping cases were handled during the rio olympics and twenty sixteen earlier i spoke to the trenker about the revelations. so new

leaks about the summer olympic games twenty sixteen and remember during before and after rio the russian doping scandal was all over the news and that was when the and hire russian track and field team stayed home because of the band's well one i.o.c. e-mail exchange that we however can not confirm is real was about therapeutic use exemptions or to you now correct me if i'm wrong but is that when athletes to use banned substances for medical purposes yes if you're an athlete and you're sick and this case you may get permission to use medicines from the list of prohibited substances in a sense that is illegal doping but that requires a certificate and judging by some of these unverified e-mails as many as forty four such certificates were given out right during the time of the olympics and most of

them just days before the olympics were over that's where all the finals are happening but according to water rules the window between the time when the application is followed the next competition must be thirty days plus if we are to believe more of these on verified emails eight. from rio were never entered into the universal anti-doping database so that is interesting have we had of any consequences we don't know but i can tell you that among proved to be a real mess if it indeed happened during the rio games and we know that it is the most high profile sporting event ever the summer olympics and also another email that the fancy bears leaked was supposedly from a brazilian anti-doping professor about crucial flaws and the doping test bottles

again it's an unverified e-mail to the manufacturer of the bottles from the times right before the beginning of the rio olympics. did it weird situation this happened the rio twenty sixteen berlinger buckles seem not all to be stand it did not fit the billing openness forcing them resulted in breakage of the cap and sometimes it can be used to close the a boat will have to alec quoting photos unix just have a record of this kind of non-conformity so nikki opening the bottles could cause damage according to dr ratner if the emails are real but this is the point when i want to go back to all the russian winter olympic athletes that were banned the head of the winter olympic games in korea besides the testimonies and besides all the things that the main. whistleblower grigori watching of was saying the cornerstone element of the i.o.c.

evidence or basically the only forensic evidence was the damage on the bottles or the scratches on the ones that were used in saatchi. the question i want to know it down to is whether both was at the center of suspicion in sochi produced by that same company yes they were produced by berger that was providing the anti-doping officials with equipment for as well however neither the maclaurin team nor the investigators they were appointed by the international olympic committee have ever shown us the visual results of their experiments and we were constantly told that the bottle technology is flawless but what if it isn't. activists in the california city of alcohol and may now face jail after they were caught trying to feed homeless people in a park according to current legislation it's illegal to share food in public places . for instance but you know. there's you know we are.

you know. the ban on public food sharing in alcohol 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 final even a six month jail term. we talked to the activists who were caught by police they claim the legislation has the opposite effect of what it's meant to do. 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 that 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 me that 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 n.d.a. go and they say all the parkers the parks are contaminated with hepatitis a that we don't want the homeless people to catch and so are 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 into the ordinance and that's what makes it discriminatory because it targets the whole nature our relationship you know it's everybody else is not magically immune from have to try to say 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 on human rights by the un outlines the difficulties homeless people currently face in america.

we see an average of seven to eight hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more higher wages and massive. 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 criminalization 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 still to come twitter is preparing a brand new tool to allow to use about russian trolls go daytimes on that in just a few minutes. joining me every post a little excited with the show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics full this list i'm showbiz most i'll see you there. is iran must going to fit in to steve jobs is coming up with innovative products you know the electronic gadgets 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. welcome back now social media giants twitter set facebook and you tube have again being grilled over alleged russian into ferentz in the u.s. presidential election i'm assuming that none of you have any doubt that the

russians meddled in our two thousand sixteen election and attacked our democracy any question. knowledge is the only the latest u.s. senate hearing the three social media giants have participated in this time around twitter also announced it was preparing a whole one uses about russian trolls the idea has already sparks concern over just how trolls will actually be identified artist daniel hoare takes a closer look this time they've been grilled at a u.s. senate committee session about dealing with terrorist content and other dangerous materials a letter that i wrote calling these companies to individual inform all users who are exposed to false misleading and inflammatory posts generated by russian agents we will be working to identify and inform individually the users who may have been exposed to the ira accounts during the election now facebook already enables users

to check if they've been exposed to russian bots and trolls from an apparent russian troll factory named the internet research agency which is so division and mistrust back in twenty six the furnace if you buy the russian election meddling narrative but it doesn't stop there now it seems twitter is going down the same road we don't yet know the full details of how this will work but in a hidden recording to cover journalist group project veritas allegedly discovered how exactly twitter picked out other apparent bots. it's a good read. just look at what you. guys . really. do that goes. for sure but we have requested comment from twitter can they

confirm that the top aimed at tackling and identifying these kremlin trolls is one hundred percent perfect. what are you supposed to do in the case of a mistake or the company has previously stated people in similar recordings didn't represent official views project veritas of course themselves have in the past been at the center of controversy as a result of their methods of tackling bots is all well and good but what about targeting opinions that are controversial unsavory or unfavorable light or data for anyone. that is. so next time you're browsing social media and come across material that may go against the grain don't overthink things the platform itself will give you

a heads up what to believe or not. to insulin may not be part of the e.u. but it's moving one step closer to staging its own version of brics it this with people's party or s.v.p. has received permission to collect signatures in support of a referendum to end the country's free movement agreement with the european bloc which could see switzerland take back full control over immigration matters at the momenta open border policies allow e.u. citizens to live and work freely in switzerland and vice versa they asked me if he has until july next year to collect one hundred thousand signatures if the excess of all the proposal would be considered by the government and parliament in burned before being put to a vote the co-president of the youth wing of the s.p.p. is convinced the public would vote in favor of stopping free movement. because

party in switzerland we are the strongest party and we have made a lot of initiatives and in two thousand and fourteen there is people's party has launched that initiative to get. mass immigration so why shouldn't it work a second time and i'm sure there is people will vote for that initiative that we can stop that treaty movement to deal with the european union in two thousand and fourteen referendum there was indeed overwhelming support to cut immigration from the e.u. but in the end quotas one never imposed by parliament instead en pais agreed on a solution to give unemployed domestic workers preference over e.u. nationals seeking jobs in switzerland now with face care again believes the amount of new new arrivals is unsustainable that we have got massive problems with mass migration and we want 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 way to lend always wants to remain remain independent neutral and free and then the parliament and the government of switzerland had to time to implement that initiative but they didn't implement that initiative from two thousand and fourteen because they maybe are scared after reaction of 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 a reason why that initiative against mass immigration couldn't be implemented. after weeks of anticipation donald trump announced the winners of his so-called fake news awards interest was so high the website containing the results come up in the first few minutes. information that was false and interesting and never happened got released to the

public i'm against the people that make up stories i'm not going to give you i should use the car you are fake to do. nothing gives you more credibility than donald trump calling you a liar and i of course don't want to get why i think our special effects team are made to look like the president or a paper towels a watering pot. and

you can have your say on the day's stories by following us on social media i'll be back again at the top of the hour with all the latest headlines southie you ben. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into pigs these are

the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of low bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results just all of these will by the people gathered in which to watch the world get people to see what you are doing a choice you can trade it be it will be she was i mean if a legal. challenge nothing more than this she did not. exist and not getting paid while the same mission is still in place who one of the consequences is to weaken blue bird flu dismantle the will first one of this is the truth the consumer is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be for us that's what will befall three of them or can people get. interested always in the waters in the polls.

but of all control to parts according to the world bank two thousand and eighteen is expected to be the first year since the financial crisis that the global economy will be operating at or near its full capacity if things are indeed getting better why are so few people noticing it want to discuss that i'm now joined by. former for his deputy managing director of the international monetary fund and former chief economist at the world bank professor kroger it's a great honor to talk to you thank you very much for being available pleased to be here now first of all let me start with this seemingly unrelated issue you're visiting russia right the time when the united states department of state listed this country as one of the most dangerous places in the world to visit together with states like sudan user and pakistan and the specific recommendation for the group of countries would be to reconsider your trouble why are you defining recommendation of the american government well i'm not even though the report i saw

in the newspaper didn't even list russia in the same categories as those the level three countries. i thought they had two or three that were listed as really don't go in this russia was not in this would be level four but russia is also criticized as a country where harassment and supposedly terrorism run amok pretty much the same level as there for example or in sudan well i don't know but i've been here before and i think i know enough about the country to think that i'm safe here is that you were well the the reason i'm asking about this is because there was a time when the free movement of people differing moment of capital. for a moment of labor. services goods. was not encouraged by the united states down ideologically supported and i think the trumpet ministration may be speaking against some of those things but i wonder if there is more to have been trying to do you think these sort of shift from a more global arena taishan towards a more. isolationist if i may put it.
