donald trump arrives in switzerland for the davos economic forum where he intends to promote his america first policy. all these questions are why the president is coming closer don't want to listen to him you can believe. the turkish president expands what all the anti terror operation against kurds in syria risking a direct confrontation with u.s. forces. plus a moscow neighborhood is let's stand after a model student killed his mate and post the grisly details online before committing suicide. is two o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me in india today welcome to the program

the u.s. president has arrived in switzerland for the pro globalist economic forum in davos many a surprise he's attending the event where the u.s. president will promote his famous mantra america first. joins us live from davos so don't try and trump he's arrived what can we expect from his meetings jacqueline . well that's really what the question is on everyone's lips because before the wheels of marine one even took off from d.c. everyone's been discussing what he's going to contribute to this world economic forum here and davos and meanwhile a number of european political big wigs have been sending out a message of europe first and while that's maybe not as nationalist of a theme as america first it's also not a globalist one which is the usual mantra of the forum here. it isn't gentlemen my my my first missy he said france is back france is back it's

a call for europe because we will never have any friends successes without a european success if between our twenty seven member states we're not able to send a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the united states if foreign policy is made on the national level then we will feel nuts and. now the white house has confirmed that trump will be bringing with him his own signature brand of economic nationalism and that we'll be hearing about that on his during his speech on friday and will most likely discuss it with other world leaders that he's meeting with over the next two days and his transportation secretary who arrives in switzerland before him didn't mince her words when she had a recommendation for those who didn't want to hear that message what they could do instead. america first is a continuation of the american affirmation of american exceptionalism

so i don't think well i think this you know all these questions are why the president is coming and again i think davos to feel very flattered that he has chosen this as a forum. so for those that don't want to listen to him you can they can leave you know this is part of what discourse and discussion is all about so it's not clear and we'll have to wait and see how many people take her up on that suggestion. and simply do not listen or leave the room when comes to talk and meanwhile we've been seeing protests across the country against trump's visit in zurich in bergen and geneva and there are actually more planned today here in davos but it's unclear whether or not they'll be able to go forward as earlier in the week authorities did say that rallies would be possible due to the amount of snow but if i'm honest we haven't seen snow in the past couple days it all happened before we actually arrived before the form started and all the streets are actually quite clear at this point ok jacqueline things from him and i'm sure you'll give us

a whole the reaction to happen after those meeting and speeches in davos. the turkish president has announced a plan to extend his country's military operation against kurdish forces in syria which ankara kohls terrorists the fight will now move to positions held by the us back to kurdish groups in the town of man page and it's faded that could lead to direct confrontation with american troops. the operation we've launched named branch to glance of terrorists is successful and the way starting from men beach we will continue for them to games which are being played along our borders and we will cleanse our region completely of this trouble so here's a closer look at what's happening this is the border between turkey and syria and the areas in yellow are held by kurdish militias in the west you can see the african region that's where the turkish assault began and to the east of it there's been green there are rebel groups there backed by turkey and are pushing towards

him and it is a recap of how the operation has unfolded so far. and therefore in talks with tanks to move planes we did nothing to hurt them their perception our land the only us. we have to sleep in the cellar because of the bombs we are free to go out on the streets what do they want from us. they should still be years. on matter how many planes and missiles they send this is only not leaving. in response to the operation several missiles hit the turkish town

of killis on wednesday killing two people and injuring a dozen more a mosque and a residential building were damaged local officials say the rockets were fired from africa. has more on the ongoing turkish operation in syria we're hearing from the turkish president is that he will now extend his military operation in northern syria to include the town of mann bridge now once the turkish military moves into man bridge this could. tension me put the turkish army in direct conflict with the forces belonging to a major turkish nato ally namely the united states washington is known to have some two thousand special forces on the ground in syria and while none of them are thought to be in the afrin area they are deployed amongst various kurdish enclave said include the town of man bridge now man bridge is controlled by u.s. backed kurdish syrian fighters at the same time we are hearing from the turkish

president that more than two hundred and fifty syrian kurds as well as islamic state fighters have been killed by the turkish army and allied forces in the past few days these figures are being disputed by the kurdish side who is also accusing and career of civilian casualties this despite the fact that we are hearing from turkey that they are trying to avoid civilian deaths as far as possible now the american president donald trump has called for and is urging a deescalation and a limit in the military operation that and create is conducting in northern syria it is now the sixth day since the turkish military moved across the border and no doubt in the coming hours and days the situation on the ground will only intensify . international relations professor back she told us turkey and the u.s. are on a collision course in syria call. the moment. not

friendly. americans. further important a call to arms should not exist. we have regional conflict on the one hand but also alliance. to marital cancer is that the american war this is going to ultimately is not going to stand for. pollutions this is somehow. a warning by the americans the literate person on the confrontation with. the most is reform or is getting more and more likely the conflict has already plenty of reaction around europe where several countries have launched turkish and kurdish communities and some demonstrations have turned violent.

a pakistani doctor who has and was the key to finding a solid bin laden looks set to spend the rest of his life in jail by just as authorities have accused him of helping militants and arrested him soon after the u.s. operation in may twenty eleventh two u.s. presence of promise to get him released but it's now been seven years were gassed if has the story. you can argue dr shaquille afridi helped catch the century's most wanted man the man who did this.

during the. sama bin laden you can also argue he was a traitor and a fraud it all depends on where you are from the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome gratitude though has its limits dr afridi set up a fake vaccination program in the area bin laden was hiding in in order to collect his family's d.n.a. and give the cia proof he was there clever shortly after bin laden was eliminated dr afridi was arrested by pakistani intelligence and sentenced to thirty three years he was charged in. two thousand and eleven

of being money to the militants of that. he was assisting in medical term that he was making some. news a hospital i met him in. in june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal dr afridi was first accused of aiding local militants and then of murdering a patient though how fair those charges is debatable bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump you you think. you get a doctor out yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would tell them let him out and i'm sure they'd let him out it didn't fly it even upset the pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail it's been almost two years since trump

made his boast and nothing the man who helped catch some of bin laden v i call of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and has clearly communicated our position to pakistan on dr afridi's case both in public and in private and the us well they bring it up once in a while that's what gratitude is worth nowadays. we spoke to former cia officer philip giraldi who doesn't see washington make any real effort to free the dr. i was in the intelligence officer and people are caught spying for another country. that country does not like to let them free so it's it's actually something that trump did not understand if the pakistanis. enter into

some kind of discussion and trump feels that he can be generous or or do something that will enable this man to get free then he might do it but i don't know what that would be i don't know what the circumstances would be they are already having serious discussions about the the money that the united states gives the pakistan the united states has been suspending some of that money and not giving it to them so the pakistanis are not are not interested in doing any favors for washington i think that is very clear. as she does in moscow has shadow online agrees some details of him murdering and raping his flatmate before committing suicide the incident has left the russian public stunned people describing the man as a promising student from a good family our correspondent in went to the house where i lived and spent the name and i want to hand you may find some parts of his report disturbing this is

the area where art. rented their flat together better waskow very close together in the universities where they study they seem to have everything to enjoy their lives in the capital this students were once in a relationship but after breaking up they continued to share a flat in the building right there it turned out to be unbearable for art to leave that's the right entrance they live on the ground floor and one social media post described everything he did behind these walls on one horrifying winter night it was late arts. had been drinking when to tiana and her to room he started punching her the details of what was happening there and the next few hours are far too grisly to go into and this report but it included stabbing rape and necrophilia. after what

everyone i guess would call a psychotic frenzy. hanging himself this is the entrance to their flat with a police notice but this shouldn't be the most challenging investigation for the authorities the couple's whole lives were out there on their social media accounts for everyone to see and very long suicide note that he posted on his account was a full description of what happened that night where he explained his motivation. this is a very small section of the building with very few apartments and none of the

neighbors here agreed to talk to us i was matched with this creature with. but one security guard outside agreed to share some details will you still with this most people salute the biblical story. is a. little little bit the soaps are still a good little some road is the still not to children look at the people in the bulletin to the police. for this because of. jealousy and rage have often led to climbs of passion we've seen it in movies read about it in books but seldom before have we experienced it so vividly thanks to the killer of the victim's obsession with social media. from the upcoming winter if they haven't been found. we take a look at that story after this break.

you know one of the things we saw in this entire campaign leading up to transfer election was very little discussion of the facts nobody said look you know you may be the smartest person in the world in your area of cheating people in the real save market but when it comes to actually understand economics you have no background i think any you know good economists could possibly have won that election. the press made and attention to that. but politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. somehow want to be preached . to going to be for us this is what the four three in the morning can't be that.

interested always in the water as it gets. back to the program the international olympic committee chief says russian athletes will be banned from the upcoming winter olympics in south korea for even the slightest suspicion they have been doping. the i.o.c. wanted to give clean russian athletes the opportunity to participate and give a young and new generation of clean russian athletes the opportunity to be at the olympic games and be ambassadors for a new clean russian sport that could be suspicion that could even be an ongoing procedure that could be many factors which did not lead to the satisfaction of the panel the purposes to invite clean russian athletes for which this panel was sutton and has not the slightest doubt or suspicion. the move comes in response to

accusations of widespread doping in russia dating back to the twenty fourteen saatchi winter games a comprehensive list of who can go to a young child will be published at the weekend it is thought that the team russia will be slashed by around a fifth to just under four hundred athletes. those are set to miss out include russia's next generation of athletes and also more established stars like by athlete anton should palin and speed skater victor on neither have ever tested positive for banned substances and the situation team russia is facing has received criticism from around the world. i'm against the fact that athletes my colleagues who if works for ages to participate in this huge forum would be punished as well in my opinion that's politics those who are involved must be punished but you cannot point a finger at the whole country i believe that some weren't involved but they're being tarred with the same brush because. sport should not be used as

a tool for politicians games should be a celebration for the sporting world and for the athletes who have worked so hard for this event and done nothing wrong sport should unite people like russia should be sanctioned if the allegations are proven as anyone should but there is no country that has never been guilty of doping the north americans in lecturing the rest of the world but we haven't forgotten where lance armstrong came from open johnson. those russian athletes who are going to the olympics will be participating under the neutral flag we spoke exclusively to the swedish i thought. canadian coach scott. that. being sidelined i think is awful i think russia should go with the best team because they have the best hockey players outside the show and it's going to be sad for the tournament but the best russian is not to think that they have to be able to do it a little older so they don't affect us like three four weeks before the olympics

that they. might think it's somewhat misguided and that i think most of the players on the russian olympic team or the athletes from russia team that are going to be in korea they were even in the last olympics everybody knows will you culture because everybody knows who you know the great figure skaters are so at the end of the day you know if the russians win in hockey or if an individual figure skater or somebody wins they know who they are and everyone knows who they are and they appreciate them as athletes and you know all the hard work and sacrifice that they've made to be able to compete at the olympic club. the players that are on the russian team are guys that we played against from the time we were little kids we know that they're clean they're. really and unfortunately politics seems to be slipping into athletics naturally not that. a german judge has caused outrage at a trial and a very affirming a crucifix from his courtroom for

a muslim asylum seeker the afghan man is suspected of threatening to kill a fellow countryman for converting to christianity i hear a correspondent peter has been following the trial. this judge in the bavarian alps has found himself in the eye of a storm that's after he ordered that a crucifix be removed from his courtroom during the trial of an afghan asylum up look and accused of trying to kill another afghan who convert to christianity it's a move that's called for in the strongly catholic states as well as in german tabloid media the judge says he made the move in order to show religious tolerance how can i educate the defendant to move away from his beliefs he thinks jihad exists between christians and islamists and so i did not think it wise to condemn him under the cross i do not care if there is a cross or not when the judge addressed this issue in court i just don't really understand the problem bosses in the bavarian ministry of justice say this should

never have been an issue in the first place the presence of crosses in courtrooms does not prevent the state from up holding religious and ideological neutrality. religious rights for kristi and converts in germany is a hot issue particularly in places like my eyes but the toll on the border with austria is where many refugees and migrants either arrived or at least passed through in twenty fifteen and the move by judge schmidt has prompted ferocious backlash on social media dear bulgarian people this is a slap in the face of all christians do you still want to trample on your christian will lose the right judges who live near to a loss for words such an irony in the trial of afghan islamists judge class you're against me it takes crust offense from the war of the courtroom the sophisticated islamization in this country continues judge close your are you insane such a disgrace this story comes as the trial of

a different failed asylum applicant from afghanistan is underway in a nearby town in southern germany in that case a thirty eight year old woman was brutally stabbed to death in front of her small children the prosecution say that the motive behind the killing was that she had converted to christianity the trial is expected to continue for several more days peter all over of. the pentagon as a draft of the upcoming u.s. nuclear policy view has been leaked and as reports have already suggested it appears to confirm a reversal in strategy for the coming year america looks set to expand its nuclear capabilities our experts say it could make the idea of using the weapons that much easier changes will be made to submarine missiles which will be reconfigured nuclear tests could also be resumed while the modernization of the u.s. nuclear arsenal will focus on smaller weapons but the former head of national

nuclear security questions whether washington can afford it. we are working pretty much at full capacity we've never done more than one life extension program at a time since the end of the cold war we're now doing essentially for. the lynx review outlining u.s. intentions to update and upgrade its nuclear weapons has been criticized many have highlighted on the nuclear button right with the north korean leader as an example of the possible dangers a nuclear studies director peter koos nick thinks this modernization will increase the possibility of military conflict by main fear is that they're going to carry out these modernization programs within the context of the modernization yes the faster they do it the sloppier it becomes and the more dangerous it becomes so we're concerned about nuclear safety but we're but even if there is no concern about nuclear safety the fact that we have these new modernized weapons means that the threat of nuclear war increases and increases exponentially.

the saudi arabia the beauty pageant has seen the competitors going the extra mile to make sure they win but some people have got the hump over contestant's cheating . but. it makes the herd more inflated so when the camel comes it's like oh look at how big those big lips. they are cheating everyone a fine should be applied. for our roundup of the news for

passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager killian erroneous and spending stupidity twenty million all one player. it's an experience like nothing else out there because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy like great so what more chance for. at this point it's. like so many who tumbled into the world events depressants without forethought david come i coded so unaware of the potential dangers when i was on paxil we had no idea to trigger delusions or none of that was out in the public domain for so many years you just assume my doctor knew best and on about the side effects hardware it's like i can't just immediately i'm too busy worrying when everything happened and i had just finished a date for my friends who knew my father and they just knew that something was

wrong because they knew who my dad was and you just would never in a million years think that he would do something that he did. currently was a high priority of mine to get the best care possible. corrina suites looks. very calm michael had been on sixty milligrams of paxil for two weeks when he set out for one of their favorite father son activities a b.m.x. bike competition in london ontario. what i've learned in this journey is i no longer take for granted even one breath things get reduced to the minutes and he you know that you have the strength for that minute it's so.
