10:13 am
issue talking to some recent graduates and in my mind i'm thinking that's kind of cool you know i can actually talk to some people that went to the school you know she would they say about the school so young female and young male came in and for all i know it could have been the recruiters working with this recruiter. he came and they both came in and said that you know they found a job before they ever graduated the school placed them and that they're doing really well and they're not struggling paying their student loan debt life is just so much better now they have so many opportunities they can jump job a job they want a lot of these student advisers at these schools used to use on students to get them into an education. but in this in document from a for profit college if i can find that shows all the people that were. going after welfare moms with kids relocation recent high school graduates career

breaking news this hour an aussie international. say they will now create a thirty kilometer security zone and syria. officially launches a ground operation against syria a long local militants say they managed to repel the offensive. in the big piece north and south korea reach a breakthrough deal to macho and compete on the one flag at the upcoming winter. pressure. career. goes underground after reports the drug. control of the paris metro. train driver is refusing to stop but.
10:21 am
looking to the program. the weekly there we do start this hour with breaking news from turkey it's where the country's prime minister says it will create a third. once its military operation against the kurds is complete that's after he confirmed turkish tanks have crossed into syrian territory. the afrin operation as a factory being started on the ground. the
10:22 am
conflict began after the us announced plans to create a new force with the kurds close to the turkish border washington later said the announcement was made by mistake but it was not enough to stop the turkish offensive as on saturday launched asterix and began cross border shelling however kurds claim they have repelled the offensive so far at least ten people have been killed in the offensive mostly civilians according to the kurds and insists the only casualties have been kurdish fighters and its army is taking all precautions to minimize civilian casualties. even as donald has been assessing the situation
10:23 am
looking at what brought turkey back into syria. this is what the situation on the ground in syria looks like right now afrin the region where the turks are carrying out their military operation the area highlighted in green is where the turkey backed rebels are to a certain extent at least they are helping ankara from the ground read 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 how you have to create 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 bitch is next this operation hardly came out of the blue you know the kurds have been historically a major thaw in turkey's but what catalyzed things now was the pentagon saying
10:24 am
they're 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 inaugural class with the goal of a final full 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 anchorite has been keeping the united states in the loop about the operation against washington supposed america which
10:25 am
arguably pitted to. 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 it or 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 of 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.
10:26 am
so it is a military action against the kurds in syria triggered protests across parts of europe people took to the streets in a number of capitals to denounce the shelling and demand a deescalation we discussed turkey's move and what provoked it with various analysts previously the united states had told turkey that they would not arm the white p.g. the kurds and that they would leave syria once isis was destroyed now isis has largely been destroyed at least a territory they do not have to. arm and train. a kurdish dominated security force and change in american foreign policy is what has really driven turkey to this take a step there was a similar operation. about half a year ago all of turkey in turkey always indicated the thirty three lot. is the kurdish forces to pose
10:27 am
a threat to turkey so i think the fact that the united states and the old these special force was a trigger but they didn't really change to secure asia the turkey is determined the kurdish forces or little the northern syria border will not be a threat 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 a bit of a trail of turkey announcing this border security force made up primarily of kurds without any consultation with turkey and then as soon as turkey you 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 now send twenty two athletes to the pyong chuang games the international olympic committee
10:28 am
president thomas by praising the agreement calling it a milestone in a long journey the two koreas will also form a single team in women's hockey and will have a korean folk song as a common anthem. 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 they all seem to agree that tough measures will be the only solution forward the pressure campaign will continue until north korea takes the sciences steps to do nuclear i think it could be not is to send out a very clear message we want to intensify that pressure disclose that included cutting off diplomatic ties to his north career we spoke to human rights lawyer. who thinks the u.s.
10:29 am
approach towards north korea is rather inconsistent. president. somehow believes that this pressure 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. a new law in germany which combats
10:30 am
hate speech online was making headlines again this week that's after the facebook 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 killings perpetrated by migrants in the country i organized 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 america and politicians from the old parties together let us take to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and some determination. despite belonging to a party known for its strong and the migrant rhetoric layla build a loser women and children's rights activist regularly travels to syria and iraq to help people she's of 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
