8:03 am
welcome back to worlds apart with julian m. other former prime minister of italy mr myler just before the break we were talking about the law being influenced by a political considerations internationally but obviously it also happens in the domestic landscape we have a major issue with independent judiciary here in russia but it also seems to be increasingly an issue in other european countries like for example poland or ukraine and those countries rhetorical it least have long embraced the western way is that really an issue of values why do you think it's so difficult to insulate
8:04 am
politics and the judiciary. in the domestic context as it is a constitutional law scholar i find it very much understandable that after years of communism the notion of the concentration of power prevails upon the notion of division of power words because the communist regime was based it formally i mean if it had similar the and take it after the economy. you see ours when i was discussing with. the open ration that was necessary for these new states to and into the european union building a market of a communist it gonna be build the liberal democrat digs the. communities states the hard difficulty in this circle and not in the
8:05 am
fruits too on. precisely because of this reason creating an independent. judiciary i could use the this is sometimes difficult in was through new to the commission is now a century in poland for misbehaving in poland essentially response by saying that it's not your business and i think that touches on the subject you often talk about reaches this supremacy of national or versus the primacy of e.u. regulations i suspect that your heart would prevent the european commission but do you see any merit in the polish argument that they should be allowed some space of making their own decisions and some space to develop democracy the way they seem necessary well there are limits of course. in.
8:06 am
huge construction like the european union should be not eliminated but absorb the somebody has returned having said so there are limits so all of us all of us. ever accepted that we respect the rule of law we concede the independence of the judiciary part of the rule of law something that from the polish point can be argued to rupp's i'm not sure. they could say but appointing judges it is not necessarily. threatening their independence because if you argue that appointing judges excludes the independence of the judiciary the u. s.
8:07 am
is out of the rule of law because we know that federal judges are appointed by by the president so there is. a margin of discussion but within limits really because what has happened in poland in relation to the constitutional court is let me say so beyond the credibility now the financial times had an article the other day saying that poland was of where the soviet empire began to crumble and that it may well be the place where the future of the e.u. will be decided do you agree with that no why not not at all not at all no because poland is an important european country it's one of the big ones after ball and. whatever happens in poland affects the union and this is something i am convinced but not that
8:08 am
poland will lead the day you know we're it's a disruption this is something i don't think there is something that is to do with kids seeing ski gear to school time to go back to. he skinned tree things might change and all of this is sort of. need to of the present might change the you know one parallel i would draw with the soviet union first human to parallels i think one is this intention by the soviet union to centrally mandate policies rather than lead the regions to develop at their own pace and the second one would be the very linear view of history in progress that you only go from certain point to the next point without allowing a country or society to make its own mistakes isn't it helpful ultimately for the democratic process for poland for hungry for russia or for ukraine for anyone else
8:09 am
to make its own mistakes and to strengthen that democratic model there is a limit there is a little a limit to the because. something that is really important for us is not to be only a common market but as we are to be a community of values you moaned to me cured only. eview. and please contradict. the common values you create a problem absolutely you create a problem also. on the outside fronts because we needed to be perceived as the community of the idea that is something that we are very affectionate to the fact that no member of the european union
8:10 am
can accept the death penalty and no country adopt still adopting the penalty can be accepted as a member of the union imagine that we accept a country to make its own mistake adopting the death penalty we don't really care about i could tell you that italy has had its own a very long history you have pages in your history that i'm sure you are very proud of fascism for example and yet you manage to build your society on it when you say that all countries have to comply with certain valid don't you deny them an opportunity to arrive at the appreciation of this values by themselves rather than being mandated by some central if they are not mandated to don't adopt these views of brussel as if it were is soviet power world that free moscow prides to dominate why terribly terribly in several communities it is
8:11 am
not so the only power in the commission now as our soft power is no to. aggressive well certainly you know it less than times it is there is a poison as you rightly really has been perceived the don't believe the commission with its soft power its power words abut solved open up a dialogue. among the member states all of them discussing with the charter the respect of the rule of law that exists in each of them because you will find that perhaps the violations by poland are make roe others might be minor but look at the of migrants how they are treated
8:12 am
in each country you will realize that the rule of law is a splendid view but the compliance with it is not splendid also in other countries this has to be done the dialogue but it's a dialogue it's not a soviet power word on the poor poland well good to know how can i ask you very quickly about another country that is involved in negotiations with the. united kingdom i know that you were greatly disappointed by the result of the backset vote even though you yourself wrote that article thirty did you ever think that it would have been invoked. no my purpose in proposing and shaping the three paragraphs of that was if they have it is they won't use it because frequently they hear. you are doing so many things difficult to accept for the ass and it's impossible to
8:13 am
work out it's impossible to work out we are prisoners of this bureaucracy or brussels accent and know the door is there and you can open it so feel more relaxed inside the union but the fact of the matter is that those who voted to cajun gave a majority to bracks it know it has to be seen were. under the light of the actual conditions that are not defined yet of the exit they will really be ready to do it i can see the this issue open but it's too early to say can i ask you specifically about that because i heard you express that hope of the british reckon fettering that decision before and i wonder if it's fair to continental europe to you. just
8:14 am
sit there and wait for the u.k. to decide for another child whether it's one though but this is not europe is doing this is what i'm saying but europe is negotiating with a very rigid the timetable they have concluded that the first stage of negotiations which is the states devoted to how much it costs to you to leave and they have found an agreement which is allow them to open up the second stage of negotiations which relates not to the past. the cost but to the future these will be the real negotiations and the time is going to lead me to until next year. bracks that vote was ultimately a result of very self-serving political decision you can argue that what we see now transpire in poland is also a result of self-serving politics do you think the e.u.
8:15 am
is treating poland and the u.k. . by the same standard in this case because it seems to me. later on paul and then on the difficult for me. to to the two situation. the same kind. the benchmark because poland is a member of the union that has no intention to deceive even mr tasks that could be an up or a possibility if poland is pressed too hard. there is always a possibility but at the moment poland is a member of the. common use bridge the u.k. which is not by your later any come along as this press the view to leave. and therefore we are negotiating with them it is to be clear if they don't want
8:16 am
migrants easily and being into the. they have to set a rigid border between north and in ireland and the republic if they don't want to read the border between the two i relent lampedusa would be in dublin. and this is the untractable problem that they have created to themselves is not my form polish your letter we have to leave it there really appreciate your time and tell us. please keep the conversation going on our social media pages and i hope to see you again same place same time here and also part of.
8:17 am
all to see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free world cold and have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waving spirit to the r.c.t. . recently had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come from that. thousand zero zero zero zero zero.
8:18 am
strife. left left left more or less ok stop that's really. the new global economic war resume folding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education alone it's high education is becoming just another product that can be pulled and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you good. luck with these songs. they could name you. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now i'm running stream high education for the new global economic war. 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

8:21 am
but the week's top stories on the main headlines off today welcome to the weekly here on r.t. international. one short mistaken statement has led to a new conflict in an already war torn country turkey has officially launched a military operation against kurdish held enclaves in syria that's after the u.s. announced its plans to create a new armed force with the codes very close to the turkish border washington later said the announcement was made by mistake but it was not enough to stop the turkish tanks from rolling in. the after an operation has a factory been started on the ground. on
8:22 am
saturday turks launched asterix and began cross border shelling the country's prime minister announced the ground campaign will start today and according to reports turkish tanks are now entering the afrin region backing the offensive launched by pro ankara rebels so far kurds say at least ten people have been killed in the offensive mostly civilians insists the only casualties have been kurdish fighters and its army is taking all precautions to minimize civilian casualties. down off has been assessing the situation and looking at what has brought back into syria
8:23 am
this is what the situation on the ground in syria looks like right now after in the region where the turks are carrying out their military operation the area highlighted in green is where the turkey backed rebels to a certain extent at least they are helping ankara from the ground red the syrian army this is the syrian army guys they don't have any problem with the kurds but they do have a problem with these guys because this is the area of the green aires also the region which harbors. or nusra a terrorist. organization and finally here you have man bridge there it is also it is a city also controlled by the kurds and it could be turkey's game plan erdogan has already said that after he's done with afrin man beach is next this operation hardly came out of the blue you know the kurds have been historically a major thaw in turkey's side but what catalyzed things now was the pentagon saying
8:24 am
they are going to create a so-called syrian border force the coalition is working jointly with the syrian democratic forces to establish and train the new syrian border security force currently there are approximately two hundred thirty individuals training in the b s s inaugural class with the goal of a final for size of approximately thirty thousand one very precise description of america's intentions there by that point turkey had had enough ankara beefed up its forces on the syrian border deployed tanks and president erdogan vowed to destroy quote this terrorist force before washington even has a chance to create it u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson tried to do some damage control saying that the situation has been most portrayed misdescribed and that some people misspoke well that was a nearly enough to contain turkey's fury ankara has been keeping the united states in the loop about the operation against washington supposed america which arguably
8:25 am
pitted turkey against the kurds has now called on them to focus on the fight with eisele pretty much the same as saying it's every man for himself in this conflict turkey has also notified syria about the action which damascus is not happy about at all russia in its turn has been cautious and called for all parties to pull the punches the main reason behind the developing crisis in this part of syria is the provocative steps taken by the united states which were aimed at isolating areas with predominantly kurdish populations uncontrolled deliveries by the pentagon more than weapons to pro american formations in northern syria contributed to the rapid escalation of tension in the region and led to special operation by turkish troops . loose lips sink ships they say well this time we're looking at a potential all out war it was done of r.t. turkey's military action against the kurds in syria triggered protests across parts
8:26 am
of europe some people took to the streets in a number of capitals to denounce the shelling and demand a deescalation and we discussed that turkey's move and what provoked it with lists previously the united states had told turkey that they would not arm the y.p. g.e. the kurds and that they would leave syria once isis was destroyed now isis has largely been destroyed at least the territory they do not have to stay and arm and train. kurdish dominated security force and doubt a change in american foreign policy is what has really driven turkey to this take a step there was a similar operation. about how three rigor of the key in turkey always indicated the thirty three lot. is the kurdish forces to pose a threat to turkey so i think the fact that the united states and now these special
8:27 am
force was a trigger but they didn't really change to secure a shoe that is determined by the kurdish forces or little they loathe in syria a ball that will not be left with it's amazing that the u.s. is in the past week managed to completely betray both its rival allies in this in this conflict first of all the trail of turkey announcing this border security force made up primarily of kurds without any consultation with turkey and then as soon as turkey make make an issue of it immediately drop the kurds all together and say oh we're nothing to do with them and basically give turkey a free hand to slaughter them. on wednesday the two koreas agreed to march together under a single flag during the upcoming winter olympics the north will then i'll send twenty two athletes to the pyong chang games the international olympic committee president thomas of praise the agreement calling it a milestone in
8:28 am
a long journey the two careers will also form a single team in women's hockey and will have a korean folksong as a common and. now officials from both countries have been meeting throughout the week to discuss peace efforts but the seeming reproach men between the careers hasn't convinced the u.s. president who said he's not sure talks can lead to anything meaningful this week the western allies of the one nine hundred fifty s. korean war gathered in canada for separate talks on the current crisis and agreed tough measures will be the only solution. the pressure will continue until north korea takes decides to do nuclear i think what you're clicking be not is to send out a very clear message we want to intensify that pressure to include cutting off diplomatic ties to his north korea we discussed this with our human rights lawyer eric so what can president trump somehow believes that this pressure
8:29 am
approach is the this is something different than 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. and you know in germany which combats hate speech online was making headlines again this week that's after the facebook
8:30 am
account of a member of the right wing alternative for germany party was blocked it came after she called for people to join a women's march against the rape and killings of locals perpetrated by microns in the country. i organize a women's march to the chancery almost every day we read about horrific rapes and murder of women the more women come the more pressure it will put on merkel and politicians from the old parties together let us take to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and some of the time a nation like despite belonging to a party known for its strong and tea migrant rhetoric builds a woman who is a woman scuse me a women and children's rights activist she's of a migrant origin herself and was surprised at the official reason for her facebook . doesn't facebook have a show on my travels with facebook started a few years ago facebook has a big issue with women and migrant backgrounds you can notice that i don't have a nordic lumination if i can see that i'm originally from the south and here in
