expected to kick off. the economic forum where he intended to promote his america first policy. question start where the president is coming. don't want to listen to him leave. the turkish president expands what it calls its anti terror operation against kurds in syria risking direct confrontation with u.s. forces. plus the moscow neighborhood is left stunned after a model student killed. and posted grisly details online before committing suicide . is three o'clock am in moscow and you're watching r t international live from our

studio with me in india a tutor welcome to the program donald trump is to promote his america first policy in the company of pro global. economic forum here i've been switzerland a few hours ago and is expected to get his busy show up and running very shortly jack joins us live now with more details so donald trump has arrived what can we expect from his meetings and speech. well the white house has already confirmed that trump will be bringing with him his signature brand of economic nationalism both through a speech on friday and probably most likely with his during his meetings with world leaders over the next few days and term transportation secretary yesterday didn't mince her words when she gave her recommendation of what people can do if they don't want to listen to that message. 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 very flattered. he has chosen this as a forum. 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 we'll have to wait and see if anyone takes her up on that recommendation meanwhile many people are being much more vocal about their displeasure over terms visits we've seen protests across the country in cities like zurich bergen and geneva and another rally is planned for later today although it's unclear whether or not that will be able to go forward and earlier in the week authorities said that rallies wouldn't be possible due to the snow fall although if i'm honest we haven't seen any snow said monday any significant snow at least that is since monday and at this point all of the streets are relatively clear for any sort of brollies protests and for cars to

come down now meanwhile during the forum we've heard from european political big wigs new sort of message they've been pushing for this idea of europe first which while that's maybe not as nationalist as the america first month or that term it's also not a globalist one which is the usual theme here at the conference. the gentleman my first me seach he said francis back french back it's a cool for europe because we have any french successes we. it's the europeans 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. now theresa may is also due to speak today and will likely touch on the idea of another not so global earth and directly afterwards she will be meeting with donald trump of course be following that closely to see what comes out of that meeting.

jaclyn view of a reporter. here because up to date with. the turkish president has allowed us to plan to extend his country's military operation against kurdish forces in syria which calls terrorists the fight will now move to positions held by u.s. backed kurdish groups in the town of man bitch and it's feared that could lead to direct confrontation with american troops. oh. the operation we've launched named olive branch to cleanse our friend of terrorists is successful and the way starting from we will continue for them to games which are being played along our borders and we will cleanse our region completely of this trouble. take 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 and in the west you can see the african region that's where the turkish assault began and to the east of it this

bit in green there rebel groups there backed by turkey and are now pushing towards man bitch is a recap of how the operation has unfolded so far. and that is what they're firing tasked with tanks to move planes we did nothing to hurt them their perception our land and they're bombing us and wish the whole thing that we have to sleep in the cellar because of the bombs we are free to go out in the streets what do they want from us well now on land they should stay in dears law or on matter how many planes and missiles they send this is our land we're not leaving . in response to the operation several missiles hit the turkish tire of

kilis on wednesday killing two people and injuring a dozen or more a mosque in a residential building with damage to local officials say the rockets were fired from african artist paula slayer has more on the ongoing turkish operation and 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 potentially put the turkish army in direct conflict with the forces belonging to a major 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 two key 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 there 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 hussein back she told us turkey and the u.s. are in a collision course in syria tall person is. not friendly

. americans. furth the call to arms should not exist. we have regional conflict on the one hand but also. through medical card through the americans war this is not going to work for you is not growing. it's stand you all pollution so this is somehow. a warm clear by the americans the literature is printed on the confrontation between turkey and the nonsense of america is getting more and more likely the conflict has already plenty of reaction around europe where several countries have large turkish and kurdish communities and some demonstrations have turned violent.

a pakistani doctor who was the key to finding a solid bin ladin looks set to spend the rest of his life in jail pakistan's authorities have accused him of helping militants and arrested him soon after the u.s. operation in may twenty eleven two u.s. presidents have promised to get him released but it's not been seven years more it has the story. you can argue dr shaquille afridi helped catch the century's most wanted man the man who did this.

right here right here in. 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. 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 a bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump do you you think. yes i do i think i would get them out in two minutes i would tell them and i'm sure they'd let him out it didn't fly it's even upset the

pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail it's been almost two years since trump made his both stand nothing the man who helped catch some of bin laden v icon of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and have 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. he spoke to former cia officer and that guarantee he doesn't see washington making any real effort to free that. i was an 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 world 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 money that the united states gives the pakistan and 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 shared online that some details of him and raping his plot right before committing suicide the incident has left the russian public stunned with people describing him as a promising student from a good family a correspondent in a patrol car went to the house where they lived and spent the night and

a warning that you might find some parts of his report disturbing this is the area where art. rented their flat together the 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 lived on the ground floor and one social media post described everything he did behind. these walls on one horrifying winter night it was late had been drinking when to tiana and her to room he started punching her the details of what was happening there in the next few hours are far too grisly to go into in 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 are 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 lucille with this most people through the book store. is a list with a little bit of the soaps are still a good little some road is the soul. children look at the people in the bill and to the point. of this because your. jealousy and rage have often led to kwame's 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. and from the upcoming winter if they haven't been found. we take

a look at that story after this break. it's. another tax reform bill next year just simply by breaking the law to. let someone bring in a fifty percent tax rate across the board want to be the best possible solution. you know question in the u.s. .

welcome back to the program the international olympic committee chief says russian i think it will be banned from the upcoming winter olympics in south korea for even the slightest suspicion they have. the i.o.c. wanted to give clean russian athletes the opportunity to participate and give a young man 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 certain 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 play on china will be published at the weekend but it's thought that team russia will be slashed by around fifty to just under four hundred athletes those set to miss out include russia's next generation of athletes and also more established asked like by athlete anton should pull in 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 are being tarred with the same brush. 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 with 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 we haven't forgotten where lance armstrong came from open johnson of. those russian athletes who are going to the olympics will be participating under the neutral flag we spoke exclusively to the swedish ice hockey star and canadian coach scott let's face it and for that. nothing's being sidelined i think it's 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 taller men but the best russian is not tom i think have to be able to do it a little earlier so they don't affect us like three four weeks before the olympics

so that's a big. might think it's somewhat misguided in 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 the other 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. 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 that yemeni truly and unfortunately politics seems to be slipping into athletics the next really not. a german judge has caused outrage at a trial and a very affirming a crucifix from his courtroom from islamists. the afghan man is suspected of

threatening to kill a fellow country back for converting to christianity our europe correspondent peter oliver 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 caused for 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 various 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 christian converts in germany is a hot issue particularly in places like mice 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 a ferocious backlash on social media deep over and people this is a slap in the face of all christians do you still want to trample on your christian religious the raja school of mantua lost for words such an error in the trial of afghan islamists judge class you're against me it takes cross 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 are. now assigned a arabian beauty pageant has seen the competitors going the extra mile to make sure they win and some people have got the help of the contestants cheating. thank you very much thanks.

for more inflated so when the camel comes it's like oh look how big that had it's as big. so you're cheating everyone fine should be applauded. news round up for now i'll be back on the top of the hour with more. so. you know one of the things we saw in this entire campaign leading up to trump selection 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 treating people in the real estate 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.

stand. from us and. from what i saw. i know that i know are more trustworthy than there are rather democrats that are before or because of that. i'm going on that compared to my next question then you can there and keep an eye on what i don't think is a channel for truffle that it. was when i was going on the show that a lot of. members set up around that i didn't want to do it.

because it's whole for first choice. and i think to a mysterious sit. through this she ought to have a. model for the front from the mr hates it for jim and then oil for hope that our friends in the course. of the money. this manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the fines merry go round lifts and be the one percent. of the room sick.

greetings and sell you to. many will tell you that the united states of america has an immigration problem turn on fox news or any conservative leaning media program and i promise you that at some point some talking head or pundit will blame a multitude of our civic and cultural problems on the supposedly scourge of the illegal immigrants pouring across our i delicate southern border but it's not just a republican issue remember the more immigrants were deported under democratic president barack obama than any other administration in u.s. history so don't feel to write cheap a.n.c. there democrats. don't do you know what i think the real problem is hawk watchers

it's not an illegal immigration problem no no in truth it's a compassion problem take for example the current issues between the faith based humanitarian group death no more in the u.s. border patrol just last week the group issued a damning report on the u.s. border patrols mistreatment of humanitarian aid workers supplies and efforts along the us mexico border including the destruction of thousands of water bottles left along crossing hotspots to prevent the dehydration and deaths of those undocumented immigrants looking to better their lives. the report states these actions call into question the border patrol's own claims to be humanitarian the practice of destruction and interface with aid is not the deviant behavior of a few ro border patrol agents it is a systemic feature of enforcement practices and a logical extension of the broader strategy of prevention through deterrence you

see that's that's not illegal immigration problem where where is your humanity would you deny your fellow men and women a basic element of life water why do that because a piece of paper saying they're allowed to be here is more important than their own well being that is a compassion problem not an immigration problem i want start watching the hawks. if that's. the bottom. like you that i got. hit. with.
