turkey's is learning the very very hard way right now and so are the kurds actually then you talked about the kurds being an american ally or the they were whether they still are not i'm not i'm not quite sure but if you got to attacking what was an american ally should not you know book should the u.s. then be obligated to come in and protect their ally or is their relationship strained beyond that now. well you might have thought so and perhaps the kurds my thought so. i would suspect the kurds were a little wiser than that and would have expected anything from the u.s. you know the and i and i hope that the kurds have reached a point where they're now in the y.p. to reach the point where the thinking perhaps they've you know milked the u.s. for all are going to get in terms of weapons and training and maybe it's time to now follow through on the regular threats that leave that they make to the u.s. to ditch them altogether because you know this is not the first time they've betrayed been betrayed in this kind of of manner so you know it obligations i mean

as i say the u.s. does not seem to recognize obligations full stop really and i think the sooner the rest the world wakes up to this the better and i think the kurds are waking up to this good speak to you and i guess the. independent political analyst thank you. thank you ok let's move to afghanistan now where a major hotel in the capital kabul has come under attack by a group of four armed men officials say that five people were injured but local media have also reported several fatal attacks to the perpetrators were killed by police two others they remain at large local journalist blasts there were reports. according to several sources within the afghan special forces the forest and second floor has been cleared some rooms on the third floor either burned down and some of them of cart fire and there's definitely

a battle on the fourth floor according to multiple sources within the crisis response unit team one fighter told me that he saw two people who were carried away from the third floor he couldn't really tell me whether they were injured or they were killed this is still an ongoing situation and this is also a hotel that got attacked in two thousand and eleven and we only heard in the last forty eight hours or so from the u.s. embassy and kabul putting a security alert saying a number of hotels in government buildings in other locations were at risk of an attack obviously this sort of an attack shows the constant security an intelligence failure but it also shows how the afghan government and its international allies are finding themselves fight another fight on a very difficult front line which is the cities it's still a very confusing situation some people wore able to get out of the hotel they

managed to get out and they have told local t.v. stations about casualties and fatalities so we'll have to wait and hear more. from the authorities their. own troubles first year in the white house is being marked by a government wide shut down after the senate refused to approve a bill to fund the government when the democrats all but five of them voted against the main sticking point being terms for fusil to include protections for undocumented young immigrants. a man in the republican leadership do the job they are paid to do today they put politics above the national security everyone thinks of themselves as their leader in that building is going to have to look at themselves in the mirror and ask are they really being true to the ideals of this country democrats hold or local citizens hostage over their breakfast of

moments we have that divider in chief in the white house this is behavior the structure just loses not legislative. and this is just the latest example of how bumpy the first twelve months for the president of being a correspondent get him open takes a look at how trump's tenure has unfolded. when trouble is sworn in a year ago emotions were running high on all sides. ok. the us media described it as a pivotal moment in american history you're not having a terrible terrible dream also you're not dead and you haven't gone to hell it will be very bad americans and others will now die washington d.c. the establishment is terrified and they should be they call that the trump revolution trump promised to completely overhaul u.s. foreign and economic policy he promised a brave new world that was cheered by his supporters and dreaded by his detractors

as a distro be an apocalypse so a year on where are we well with all this america first rhetoric you might have thought that would have met with less interference in other countries well that's not exactly how it played out tonight i ordered a targeted military strike we were part of our military and it was another successful event we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary on the home front from promised a new level of protectionism against mexico and china but the usa is increasingly buying more foreign goods and producing less of its own the trade deficit with mexico is up by eleven percent the trade deficit with china is up by seven percent unemployment is low but so are wages there is record amounts of household debt in the united states right now and retail stores are closing across the country and here's one thing that didn't change between trump and previous administrations during the election trump talked about getting along better with russia and his

detractors called him a kremlin puppet but now one year later things which one washington and moscow are about the same as they were before bad for their action by the. congress to put these sanctions in place from the way they do that's the decision they made that made it a very overwhelming. except we may be at an all time low in terms of the relationship with russia this is built for a long period of time now trump promised to drain the swamp of corruption we are going to dream. of washington d.c. . but it looks like that swamp is still here and deeper than ever policy stay the same our foreign policy is the same the monetary policy in the federal reserve is the same spending as the same deficits are still rising so there has not been any significant changes in the direction of our country which i had been hoping for is that he has perpetuated so many of our deeply flawed policies

especially in foreign policy foreign policy is a little bit more confusing i am very pleased he's at least made an honest effort and he's reduced the amount of regulations and i think that's one of the reasons we've had an economic boost. and that is that is good and he's made an effort to reduce taxes that's war from perfect but lower taxes less regulation is good and the marketplace is reflecting that oh and don't forget about that wall we're going to build the world we have no choice we have no choice. yeah how's that going to have some wonderful. prototypes that have been put out now despite the president's ambitious timetable for construction it remains unclear when the wall might actually go up on the surface donald trump looks like a president like no other he's allowed brash he doesn't care about political

correctness is even turned twitter into an official white house channel but if you look a little bit closer and judge him by his political actions he's a little bit more the rule than the exception. artsy new york with more news after this short break. you have a winner take all mentality it's a lottery mentality in america you know where are your dead and the pharmaceutical

companies of course a lobbyist going to washington to change the laws of a possible to settle all costs in america and nobody cares because it ever learned a lot as a wal-mart today they said let's do it again. now with all the talk of alleged russian meddling in the u.s. two thousand and sixteen presidential election twitter is stepping up its efforts to expose what it's called russia's propaganda machine recently the social media giant began sending emails to those who quote might have followed read tweeted or liked suspected russian propaganda accounts during the presidential campaign

twitter estimates that six hundred seventy seven thousand users for into that category and its message sent to uses the social media platform encourage them to learn more about the nature of the russian propaganda efforts we can now speak live to one of those people who was contacted by twitter to young political comedian joins me on the line tim this must have been quite an experience i just wonder how you feel about being picked out like this do you feel as if somehow you did something wrong well listen i'm i'm here to complain to be completely honest with you because if you guys are over there re tweeting people so much and there's all these bad accounts where my re tweets i just really want the russian people to reach week me more if that's if that's such a true thing. you know i can't believe i was singled out by this it makes no sense . democrat senator mark warner has praised with his move. i

don't suppose the ordinary twitter user would be too impressed by this i can't imagine anybody kind of throwing their hands will go thank you twitter is save me i didn't realize what a propaganda tool is being. yeah you know here's the thing is it a propaganda tool if you agree with what you're liking or re tweeting i'm not sure who is being influenced as an american by the tweets especially the tweets that they showed they had a few example tweets and a lot of them were just basic political messages that anyone in america could come up with so i think twitter and a lot of the democrats think americans are extremely stupid. if you look at the over this the you think there was an incredible amount of malicious russian activity on twitter but i mean the numbers have been broken down and it seems like it i mean it's really really negligible the number of election related tweets that are even saying they believe to be propaganda they call even say that they own propaganda is the amount of attention being paid to them. considering how little effect any of this could have possibly had you know and what is considered

a different country meddling in another country's election because i've been contacted i've done digital marketing before for many people and i think contacted by foreign leaders to run their digital campaigns and do social media for them so would that count as an american meddling in their election like there's so many different ways you can categorize this and it really doesn't make sense but it plays into the old now one year old or longer conspiracy theory that russian the russian government colluded with the trump campaign which there's still no evidence of do you think there's an element of twitter just going to tick boxes here to keep the politicians happy they and the social media giants were really grilled. senate hearings is this just just trying to do what it takes to get them off the north the list. absolutely and i'm not even sure that they're on the naughty list there's been conspiracies over here that actually they've they've been proven that twitter bans conservatives shadow bans them meaning they silence their ability to reach

more and more people on their platform so i think that they're actually not only just ticking a box to say hey we didn't do anything and we're going along with what the democrats said was the reason for why hillary lost but they're also trying to kind of cover their there and to make sure people don't take a deeper look into what they've been doing to silence other people's opinions simply she is telling and it's the best of luck with with all the problems that you'll facing from twitter go easy on you this is comedian tim young. thanks and thanks to you guys for tuning in i'll be back with just over just over half an hour's time of the latest news headlines to you that. something did these bring bulletin for. not to be only a common market. as we say to be a community of then don't adopt this view was of process as if you twitter is

so good to power that from moscow prides to damini to it why the their way to be unsettling to communities it isn't serious. when lawmakers manufacture consent to step into the public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts and be the one percent told. it's time to ignore middle of the room sick. leave the room for the real news room for. local

blogs sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. for new socks for the tell you that separate gossip the public myself for their. mother off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough and let's not buy their products. these are the hawks that we along with all the walking. in the middle of the sixty's there were thirteen million students enrolled in higher education in two thousand and fifteen there were two hundred million in less than fifteen years there are expected to be four hundred million to.

hold. while the demand keeps growing university tuition fees skyrocket the world over the cost of education is high increasing. their. work harder is more. i don't understand how can a school be a scam. in the name of so called economic pragmatism and as a result of international competition university is a turning into a huge money making machine it's. none of my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be got one. from shanghai to new york to go and countries around the world reflect trying different moves each remodelling its system in its own way but at what price and who profits from it was.

a distorting point of our story which begins at the end of the ninety's. at that time you had this financial izing itself all the while expanding many intellectuals european university presidents and expert groups engage in a vast reflection on how to build a more complete more ambitious europe. how to strengthen its intellectual scientific and technological influence. what is the secret of the united states and its economic power. the answer lies in higher education and research. a realm that has become undeniably strategic. to search for.

at the end of the twentieth century american universities prevail and who europe is afraid afraid of finding itself on the sidelines it needs a strategy and so european gauges in a series of reforms to make its higher education more competitive so it can serve europe's economy its productivity its job market and its liberal project england will quickly set the tone before anyone else and to get straight to the point. after the second world war we had a system where local education authorities around the country were responsible for providing a grant to students and giving of covering tuitions fees. and that was at a time when roughly three percent of eighteen year olds went to university around twenty thousand. all science students will. be

required to attend lectures on physics chemistry mathematics and biology it will also be possible for science students to major in philosophy. knowledge is not posted look at what a huge mitt romney won and covering all sides of all places all. in the one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. there was a funding crisis amongst universities lots of vice chancellors complaining that they didn't have enough money to cover the amount of students so now coming through the system so the government commissioned a report and this was called a daring report and that came up with a number of recommendations almost one hundred recommendations roughly half for the government about how it could. maintain sustain and improve higher education in the u.k. and one of the most controversial parts of that report was the introduction of.

in one thousand nine hundred seventy the british left led by its young charismatic candidate tony blair wins the elections after eighteen long years of conservative rule. at the age of forty three the head of the labor party takes charge of the country with a program whose foundation is to apply private sector management models to public services so as to make them more efficient more productive and higher education will be no exception. right. we need to widen access to universities get more money into universities and the best and fairest way to do it is a balance between the state and the graduate situation face became reality and nine hundred ninety eight and it was a key landmark in the history of higher education in the u.k. because at that moment the principle of free education free higher education in the

u.k. finished. for this historic reform tony blair introduces the yearly one thousand pound tuition fee a smooth way to start a fire. prompted by his second term election tony blair authorizes universities to charge tuition fees up to three thousand three hundred pounds and tony blair head of britain's labor party successfully passed a reform that the conservatives would never have dared bring forward. in two thousand and ten the labor party rallies the opposition the coalition made of liberal democrats conservatives led by david cameron take charge of the country very rapidly the debate over jewish and fees arises on the political scene again this time the government intends to authorize tuition fees up to nine thousand pounds yearly all the while reducing the portion of public funding and it catered to universities this new reform violently divides both members of parliament and

public opinion that have been very difficult choices to make we have opted for a such of policies that provide a strong base for university funding which makes a major contribution to reducing the deficit and introducing a significantly more progressive system of grog you would pay punched only on average and i'm proud to put forward that magic so this. in order. to know that. there is nothing a bank that tiny benefit to the lowest income graduates that justifies doubling or tripling the debt of the vast majority of right isn't it credible that the party opposite who actually introduced the principle of graduates paying and voted for to jewish and fee increases is able to drum up quite so much faith anger on the issues

out there. and any young person ask any young person in any poor communities in our country what is your prospect what is your what do you want to do many would say. i want to study i want to qualify i want to go to university i want to achieve something in life. hell that. unless they are very cool they can have to borrow money to survive to get through university they simply will not do it this decision matters so much to so many people. i'd say to the house if you don't believe in it vote against the it's to the right three hundred twenty three you know most of the last three hundred true. god

was when it was really from three thousand that it became one thousand pounds i was up to the university if they wanted to introduce nine thousand pounds a maximum face or anything between six thousand and nine thousand and one surprisingly most university decided to set nine thousand pounds most students have now half a million students going through every year most of those with a minimum of nine thousand pounds a year and that's stands today. over the course of fifteen years british politicians are ruling class that had enjoyed free access to education inflicted a paying system on the new generation. british students along with a european fellows now have to deal with these new rulings that's the way it is.

they're young they long for a solid future get thirsty for knowledge and dream of climbing the social ladder all that has a price tag and they'd better get used to him. and if i grew up in a working class family in the south of poland a young woman could have enrolled in a university in krakow in copenhagen or even amsterdam. it would have been free in england and it was granted a student loan to pay for her nine thousand pounds tuition fee. i knew i was going to go abroad to study and i think well for a little while i thought it was going to be scotland but then. i think i decided it was england you know like way back and it just stuck with me and i and i came here and it was it was scary it was so scary because i was away from home i was here

alone i didn't have anywhere to turn to and look at me now i study chinese of all the crises that i could have chosen i can't wait for you know what the future holds and when i'm going to do i have so many ideas but we'll see. i talked to my grandfather once and we're talking about everything else and then kind of started talking about university and how much money that costs and everything and i had many thoughts about ok maybe maybe i'll quit maybe i'll you know it's too much maybe it's not worth it and then i realized well how my going to pay it back but that's one of the reasons why i stayed and other reason bigger even is that i like what i do i think i'm not quite sure where that came from my need to go to university i think is because. none none of my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be that one first person who did that

and my mom my mom really wanted me to do that as well she did encourage me strongly i don't know what i would do with her if i fail i would i would feel like i failed her and i never want to do that ever. because being here and doing what i do and being an aversive is my way of paying her back problem that she's to me i think. oh yeah i'm good it's my way of paying back for everything. and. will the european students be forced one day to get into debt. should education

become a suitable. must didn't speak um self-made finance he has to own an education. northern european countries do things a bit differently. thanks guys or financial survival guide. when customers go buy your used to find. them now well reducing lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. in order to overthrow a regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with in the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy or both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would

be able to put down a popular revolt they did not have support at higher levels. young children have worked in bolivia for generations almost three quarters of a million of doing so today. this culture led to the development of bolivia's new liberal and highly controversial children's code in two thousand and fourteen which gave children as young as ten the right to work under certain circumstances but there's a new thing this. is the new. no . eat well without

the endo. from the sincere. but there are hundreds of thousands of children in bolivia operating completely outside the local . mining work is strictly forbidden by the children but it's never enforced and that means the school boy minus continue risking their lives for the money they need to survive. when you don't. see the daleks' try to get a court. to at least.
