the single very difficult with countries late eat turkey and greece there are the gates as we say of you but are forced to behave as if the immigrants lending you both think reason they need to be. where for eternity and greece only so this is the a c. made tree that still remains well mr martin we have to take a very short break but we'll be back in just a few moments say chant. stand and hear from us and. before long one has. an hour for honor on march thirtieth there are rather democrats across the board of

course because of our. families and that combative and i'm catching them when i can them kick and. i don't think there's a channel for praful than that and. then i want my michelle and also. a lot of the. m.s.l. around. because it's whole full pressure for sure gandhi i'm here you have them and they are turning in serious said larry british. from my law father live in africa who fucked around with mr heathcote for a gentleman and lawyer but i hope that our family.

warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't need. to do socks credit to tell you that it's not be gossip and by styles of the most important news today. telling me you are not cool enough to fight their product. these are the hawks that we along with our lives. in order to overthrow the regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also requires actors with 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 but did not have support at higher levels.

welcome back to worlds apart with julie on them other former prime minister of italy mr mudd 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 valleys why do you think it's so difficult to insulate politics and the judiciary. in the domestic context as it is

a constitutional law scholar i find it very much understandable that if two units of communities in the notion of the concentration of power prevail upon the notion of division of words because the communist regime was babies did for money i mean they had him over the and take it out of economy. you see the size of ours when i was discussing with. the oprah ration that was necessary for these news to and into the european union building market of a communist economy building liberal democratic. of communist states the how years difficulty was in the second part not in the fruits to on. precisely because of this reason creating an independent

judiciary i can tell you the this is some times difficult old in with renewed or now there are people commission is now a century in poland for misbehaving and 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 regulations i suspect that your heart will 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. there are limits of course. in. the huge construction like the european union should be not eliminated but

absorbed that somebody has returned having said so there are limits so all of us all of us ever except 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 you point can be argued rubs. 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 they you is out of the rule of law because we know that federal judges are appointed by the president so

there is. a margin of discussion but within the limits really because what has happened in poland in relation to the coast. is let me say so beyond the credibility of the financial times had an article the other day saying that poland was 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 now why not no to thaw not at all no because poland is an important european country it's one of the big. after ball and. whatever happens in poland affects the union and this is something i am convinced but not that poland will lead to do 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 give to school time to go back to his country things might change and all of this is sort of. need to of the present might change that you know one parallel i would draw at 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 for ukraine for anyone else to make its own mistakes and to strengthen that democratic mother 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 birds even if you. please contradict the common values you create a problem absolutely you create a problem also. on the outside friends because we needed to be perceived as the community of the that is something that we are very affectionate to the fact that no member of the european union 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 values didn't 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 adopt these views of bring to the thought that these views of brussel as if it were is soviet power world that you must go cried stu damini. why terribly terribly and servile communities it is not so the only power it's the

commission now as our soft power it's not too. aggressive well certainly you know the has sometimes it is there is a torrent as you rightly really has been perceived the don't believe the commission with its soft power its power its abuts of 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 their. because you will find that perhaps the value elations by poland are make roe others might be minor but look at the of migrants how they are treated in each country you will realise that the rule of law is

a splendid do but the compliance with it is not so splendid also in other countries this is to be done the dialogue but it's a dialogue it's not a soviet power world 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 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 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 vote they took ages gave a majority to bracks it know it has to be seen were. under the law 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 sit there and wait for the u.k.

to decide for another child whether it was this is not europe is doing this is what i'm saying but europe is negotiating with a very rigid the time table 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 are found in 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 the braxton vote was ultimately result of a 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 ear 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 be 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 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 will 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 i'll tell you first. 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.

the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into pigs these are the countries with we korea colonies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of low gloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline off to almost a decade how good are the results she saw all of it during peaceful by the people gathered in which the wider world beat people to see what i joined a choice between three to be in full view she thought the climate was i mean to for legal. challenge nothing more than this she did not i was always think it makes you stand out there and not get into the. why of the same measures still in place to

one of the consequences used to weaken blue bird flu dismantle the i will first one of this is the truth the consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision makers. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get a feel of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then . yes there was but with a large employer you. have removed the last election i believe the words will mostly we're going to my wall soon will but you know one of the earth i'm still up in the bushes i just saw. pain thank you

for coming in advance man do the. scouts move you the bluecoats but we've seen on t v. easy showed reason you don't judge. a bunch. of course if you do the armor sure you can you get other corners up and your boss may be getting missed all the trails and most of the original post . when lawmakers manufacture consensus and stick to the public well. when the ruling class isn't protect themselves. with the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. from the real news is real

world. turkey says it will create a thirty kilometer security zone inferior passes and caressed officially launches a ground operation against syrian kurds. peace north and south korea reach a breakthrough dale to march and compete under one flag at the upcoming winter games but as western leaders decide it's time to up the ante against pyongyang. the person who can kill you if you want to intensify. other pressure including cutting off diplomatic ties with north korea and r.t. went underground after reports drug related crimes are running out of control on parts of the paris metro it's reportedly seen train drivers refusing to stop at certain station.

very warm arkansas iran nicky aaron and you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international or the latest world headlines and the stories that shape the week top story this hour turkey's tanks have rolled across the border into syria is the latest day jobs and careers rapidly escalating operation against syrian kurds. well the conflict between turkey and the syrian kurds has entered the international arena france has now called for an emergency session of the u.n. security council to discuss the situation particularly in the african region where the turkish operation is taking place for more updates on the situation i'm now joined live by artie's trenker. to get a clearer picture of what's going on between the turks and the kurds along syria's

northern border we should look at the map this is where the kurds are the two yellow areas right here the one on the left is the african region this is the new war zone the turkish army entered from the northwest plus they used airstrikes the green area is where the turkish backed syrian rebels are these are the militias that anchor was counting on on the ground there moving in on africa from the east turkey squalls are being drawn together turkey has officially made it clear they are determined to create a thirty kilometer buffer zone right here along the border once the actual armed operation is done and dusted there's little doubt that the darks sorry the turks have enough military capabilities for that so the buffer zone will mean that a de facto part of syria is under turkish control at the moment it seems that

ankara isn't going to stop there they want the operation to extend further east as well as president on announced towards mond beach a city also controlled by the kurds in this other yellow kurdish enclave when it comes to the kurdish forces they say they've been returning far the kurds also claim they managed to repel the offensive speaking of casualties for now the kurds say ten people were killed mostly civilians it's all lies says ankara they say they've been only killing fighters or terrorists as turkey puts it the turkish military is trying to reassure everyone it will take precautions to minimize civilian casualties but in the media reports we also saw more threats from the turkish government like the prime minister saying anyone who helps the kurds with weapons will automatically become

a target for ankara's guns. thanks last. another move by anchor was prompted after the u.s. announced the creation of a border force between turkey and syria 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 f inaugural class with the goal of a final for size of approximately thirty thousand will soon after the us secretary of state rex tillerson backtracked on the earliest date meant he clarified that the whole situation was misdescribed and he ruled out the creation of a border force we discussed this issue with several experts who believe the situation has acted as a trigger for turkey. 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 the territory they do not have to pay an arm and train a kurdish dominated security force and a change in american foreign policy is what has really driven turkey to this taking there was a similar operation is about half of turkey and 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 forces was a trigger but they didn't really change the situation that is determined by the kurdish forces or little the lowden syria border will not be left with it's amazing that the u.s. has 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 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 talking of military action against the kurds in syria triggered protests across europe people took to the streets in a number of capitals to denounce the shelling and demand that the escalation to the crisis were closely following the story and of course we'll bring you all of the updates as soon as we get 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 hour leads to appear on chang games the international olympic committee president thomas bank praised the agreements 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 i can a common anthem officials from both countries have been meeting throughout the week to discuss peace efforts but the seeming reproach went between the koreas 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 nineteen fifties korean war gathered in canada for separate talks on the current crisis and agreed tough measures will be the only solution the pressure. on north korea decides that. i think. is to send out a very clear message we want to intensify that pressure discredit include cutting off diplomatic ties with north korea. well we spoke to human rights lawyer eric see what ken who thinks the u.s. or approach towards north korea is in consistence. president. somehow

believes that this pressure approach is the 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 hugh laurie in germany

which combats hate speech online with making headlines again this week now so after the facebook accounts of a member of the right wing go tentative for germany party was blocked it came after she called for people to join a women's march against rape and killings perpetrated by migrants in the country i organized the women's march to the chancery almost every day we read about horrific reaps and murder of women the more women come the more pressure it will put american politicians from the old parties together let us take to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and serve the temora nation. now despite belonging to a party known for its strong anti migrant rhetoric layla bill go who are women and children's rights activist regularly travels to syria and iraq to help people there she's of migrant origin herself and are surprised that the official reason for her facebook bone. as an interface will come ashore on my troubles with facebook started a few years ago facebook has a big issue with women of migrant background you can notice that i don't have

a nordic look you can see that i am originally from the south here in germany i fight for human rights which isn't always easy in islamic countries people like me are silenced by facebook and since i have a certain popularity and quite a large following i was blocked for thirty days then my account was deleted but that wasn't the first time my accounts have now been purged four times and since i am a member of the air of d. which in germany fires for women's rights i am a nuisance for facebook and the mainstream media or layer was banned under the new law that forces social media to delete offensive content within twenty four hours after receiving a complaint otherwise companies would face huge fines earlier this month for deputy leader of the alternative for germany party so her facebook and twitter account suspended after she criticized the country's police for saying happy new year in arabic. again says people who express their anger anger at.
