the u.s. calls on turkey to deescalate its military operation in syria while ankara says there is a trust crisis in its relationship with washington. over what a shame that is think about all that this country has been through and now we're looking at another just a fraction of the promises of never being kept by the united states it's really the trust. of the trust is missing at the u.s. national security agency after it removes the words on the state trust and on or from its official mission statement online. playing in the media in germany highlights fears within the government over a rise in stream is an inside. there
1:01 am
it's nine o'clock here in moscow good to have you company this friday morning with r.t. international our top story this hour washington is accused of destabilizing northern syria after. its extending its military operation closer to positions held by u.s. troops in the region turkey's operation began last week and is targeting kurdish militias some of the groups are considered terrorists by ankara and by washington the u.s. state department has described what is happening in northern syria as a shaky. people now have to flee an area that was previously considered pretty stable and what a shame that is think about all that this country has been through and now we're looking at another destruction in northwestern syria because turkey has taken its eye off the ball isis and going after the p.k. at this time. the weapons have been provided to the white b.g.
1:02 am
by the united states the promises which have never been kept by united states since man beach lately trump statements saying that we won't give any weapons to y p g anymore even as he was saying that we are not giving in last night's telephone conversation created a trust crisis. however the phone call between the turkish and american presidents mentioned by anchors foreign minister there has been differently by the two countries president trump relayed concerns the escalating violence in africa syria risks undercutting our shared goals in syria here to turkey to deescalate limited military actions and avoid civilian casualties. the white house statement about the content of the phone call between trombone i was probably drafted before the conversation took place because it did not reflect the truth well washington correspondents america. hating relations between the two allies. no matter how many
1:03 am
times washington says onkar its ally the reality is far from it as distrust between the true grows stronger u.s. turkish relations are headed south turkey is an important nato ally we understand fully understand turkey's concerns should don't think. america is in the process of creating a terrorist. america do not encroach borderless do not provoke cos we will run outs of patient. this has led to consequences on the ground in monday if the turks and the kurds came so close to each other they were almost at each other's throats and then washington literally had to step in to prevent them providing but no lessons learned clearly especially considering the turkish campaign against the kurds in a free and right now. don't be friends with kurds if you want to keep good relations isn't the only signal
1:04 am
washington missed the coup attempt back in two thousand and sixteen made things worse there's the local one and turkish cleric living in exile in the us and grow things glenn orchestrated and demands that the us extradite him and recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital didn't do their relations any good either and it even created an opening for air to want to grab the throne as leader of the muslim world to assistance to watch. why are you backing israel whether it's ok patient terrorism is that what you are defending one would think that the us would take the theory of their ally into consideration before making any rash decisions but instead of treading carefully washington to cut aid to all of the countries opposed to the jerusalem solution the most important problem between that stares and talk is that is that there is no you know nobody you know trusts the other one this is the main problem for tricky especially talking people
1:05 am
and government. never rely on never trust in. the united states especially in middle eastern issues so whether this is all been delivered or not washington has only been tangling this not further and further. than we are on our team washington d.c. . now journalists in the us have noticed a quietly made it to the official mission statement of the national security agency online it turns out that the words on the state trust and openness and or go on the old core values used to begin with the word on this the saying that the american people have placed great trust in the n.s.a. and therefore the agency promises to honor that with openness teen stead begins with the phrase commitment to service here's how the n.s.a. explain the changes it's nothing more than a website update that's all it is the effort to delete words that are
1:06 am
that mean a lot to americans such as honesty and transparency and what have you has is something that. is important but if the national security agency's deleting it i think that means that. according to reality. as to just how these intelligence agencies work they are they're not called the deep state for nothing and. the only thing that they did agree that it did keep was the provision of. respect in the law and. but even there they fudge on their. twitter has found no substantial evidence of russian interference during the u.k.'s twenty sixteen breaks it referendum the findings have left those looking into alleged russian meddling and good and pushing for a further investigation well this is how the dialogue between twitter and the head of the. i would ask that provides to the committee at least for accounts linked
1:07 am
to the internet research agency and any of them are the russian linked account we are currently undertaking investigations into these questions the information you have now is completely inadequate from the one percent of the accounts in the dataset we're interested in russia the failure to obtain straight answers to these questions is simply increasing concerns about these issues. all the worse this government isn't happy with the fact that twitter has provided for them and the thrust of twitter's message is that one percent of accounts that have been identified as sort of meddling in the referendum which are registered in russia and this all started when questions were raised late last year about whether russia had perhaps in to ferret in that referendum the problem was that there was no proof to back up these claims of russian interference online and through social media
1:08 am
platforms take a listen to what the foreign secretary boris johnson had to say about alleged russian meddling. is another of your. what you. think of. the us. so with no facts and no evidence this was a topic that had still really snowballed into public consciousness it had drawn a lot of column inches and everybody very interested in it so the government launched an official inquiry into fake news and they are the big social media platforms twitter and facebook to provide evidence to them late last year when
1:09 am
twitter and facebook came back to them the government said they weren't happy with what they had come back with a.q. twitter of stonewalling them and even threatened them with sanctions if they didn't cooperate properly. reporting there was another social media platform facebook agreed to dig deeper in an attempt to find russian links to breaks it their initial results show that less than a pound was spent on ads that may have affected voting author and journalist things the russian favor doesn't need real evidence to cause impact this whole saga of russia gate it really represents an attempt to export russia gate to other countries during the run up to the breaks it felt we heard nothing about russian influence but once russia gate exploded in washington opponents of bragg's it seized on the concept of russian meddling gets enough toxicity in the political bloodstream that it damages their opponents and they don't have time to push back and by the time they disprove the narrative the damage is already done. north korea
1:10 am
has called for breakthrough efforts to be made in what the country's leader has called reunification with the south comes as an intern korea olympic team prepares to compete at the upcoming winter games in pyongyang chan and it marks a rare moment of east tensions on the peninsula after a war of words between the north and the us you can see done of takes a closer look at that. a man who couldn't think of anything better than to include a threat of a nuclear winter in his new year's speech and donald trump a man who couldn't think of anything better than to up the ante what ensued might one day come to be known as the battle of buttons. the entire us mainland is within the range of our nuclear strike and the button is always on the table in my office space you clearly know that this is certainly not a threat but rather a reality. please inform him that i too have
1:11 am
a nuclear button but it is much bigger and more powerful one than his and my button works so everyone's beginning to get used to the two way berridge of insults but then unexpectedly kim starts cracking outlines from a very different playbook proposing a joint women's hockey team with south korea at the winter olympics for the first time in history who would have thought then on top of that the north korean leader invites the southern team to train at his luxury ski resort which is also rumored to be his vantage point for observing missile tests and those have reportedly been put on hold the notorious red button is away in the drawer and finally the desperate holds out an olive branch once again calling for the reunification of the peninsula we will courageously smash all of the challenges of the nation's desire for unification that all the koreans rise up in the peace keeping struggle against war to battle the reckless nuclear war moves of the us so what about his adverse
1:12 am
saree half the world away has trump now started trying to out flatter his arch nemesis well actually it seems this switch from war to love caught the american leader of god although he did claim that kim's change of heart was of his making or twice actually. sanctions and other pressures are beginning to have a big impact on north korea rocket man now wants to talk to south korea for the first time does anybody really believe that talks and dialogue would be going on between north and south korea right now if i wasn't strong and willing to commit to might against the north and since then for almost a month now nothing on the rocket man from trump i think this is his way of trying to my policy or pressure is having a new reality is the policy or pressure is had only made this more difficult to come into play and had to later that would have happened walk through in

1:13 am
a row i think without trump in the picture and unfortunately i think there's only a temporary warming from the united states because due to the specific case of it being the olympics the thought of a better case. united states is another going to conduct the usual war exercises immediately after him but after all trump has always maintained he can be flexible meaning that he can go from foe to friend with his north korean counterpart just like that so why the silence now well perhaps trumps brainstorming a friendly nickname it was done of. now in case she didn't know with the greatest sporting show on earth there is get underway in russia this summer and if you think the twenty eighteen football world cup might inspire you to improve your game artie's very young star stan collymore meets the man who designs the big some of the games greats here's a quick preview. one guy came to me one day

media has revealed the growing. increasingly of islamic extremists in europe those claims were based on classified documents obtained from germany's left party our europe correspondent peter all of the story. there's a growing threat from islamic extremism in europe based in the balkans and the german government is keeping it to itself that's according to a highly classified report that's being seen by some left party m.p.'s the media. the german federal government cannot discount the basic threat posed by individuals and splinter groups in the islamist scene in bosnia herzegovina the hush hush document goes as far as to claim that there's a direct link between radical islamic groups in bosnia herzegovina and people in germany the true nature of what this heavily classified report says hasn't come out parts of it were redacted from the copy that was shown to the left party the
1:18 am
federal government has been trying to downplay the growing islamist threat in public furthermore it's entirely unacceptable that the government continues to cover up the role of the gulf states my colleague charlotta bin ski travel to bosnia herzegovina back in december she witnessed firsthand the situation on the ground there regarding islamic radicalization the local and mom is telling me that some of the residents have joined islamic state and it's one minute of the road and there are people who went to syria and forty on the side of ice but who tried to stop them. it looks like an ordinary sleepy village a few houses nestled between the hills not how you might imagine a cradle of terror. a local a man says he fears for his life after speaking out against those who joined eisel we do this in
1:19 am
a produce these radical elements are always unpredictable these people prayed with me the aid at the same table as me and they want to shoot me this has been edited version of the report issued by the government raises a lot of questions over what exactly germany knows about islamic radicalization in the balkans and how bad the situation actually is as we see in the arts or to our parliamentarian question the german government gives the expert types expertize that it doesn't explicitly in the gate the possibility that single persons or groups work along to the islamistic scene or boston or else the governor could be a threat to germany and europe but in the same time the government in guys to speak to financial transactions that are provided for example by the govt states or target of the bucket states as well as the sending of the moms. in contrary to the german secret service. the german government tries to hide the fact

of growing danger coming from them is the groups from the public. the raw over donald trump recognition of jerusalem as these rainy capital has been brought up at the divorce economic forum in switzerland during a meeting between the us president and israeli pm trump said palestine's aid would be cut unless it starts being more respectful. they disrespected ours and we could go by allowing our great vice president to see them and we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid support tremendous numbers numbers that nobody understands that money is on the table that money is not going to them unless they ship down and negotiate peace. president trump has directed the state department to immediately begin preparations to move the united states embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and that united states embassy
1:21 am
will open before the end of next year here in jerusalem the capital of the state of israel was citizens of israel. i was well several weeks ago the u.s. cut in half its funding of the un palestinian refugee agency a spokesperson of the agency called the situation the worst crisis in history political analyst to me at all in believes that from these from trump my harm the trouble does writing palestinian peace process. after the first year of donald
1:22 am
trump in the white house he's no longer a freshman any seasoned diplomat would have told him don't do it why don't you consult consider and then come up with a round up around the package which offers something for everybody not just your letter along which pleases some israelis but freezes the prospects of the peace process. in other news this morning at least forty one people have died in a hospital fire in the south korean city of mary yang just to the southeast of the capital so the cause of the fire still isn't known but officials do say it started in the hospital's main building reports say that more than eighty people have been injured thirteen of them critically the country's prime minister has ordered the government to send all available equipment and personnel to help at the sea.
1:23 am
now a palestinian man's attempts to you have the right to remain in the u.k. and i getting the backing of british m.p.'s they are pressuring the home office to rethink so-called stateless asylum applicants after the man was rejected under british law and has been without legal status since he was a child. muhammad was referred to as because he was destitute and on the streets for several years and he stayed in the family home for the first time in many many years.
1:24 am
have told him to go bought policy on him on repeated occasions and he said ok i'm willing to go bought he couldn't go bought he didn't have the paperwork and then the home office accused him of not being palestinian. even if you have left palestine as a child you should be able to demonstrate knowledge of your heritage and culture having no identity documents does not make you stateless we that find somebody amongst our host who is willing to take him and it's also important because he is more likely to get the emotional human possible support that he needs his story is typical for many palestinians they have zero right to return but they're being condemned to a lifetime of destitution as well so that's your news rap for the sad and forget
1:25 am
they we've got plenty more stories for you to go. if the security m and political polarization comes but if they come back then that will. provide the right circumstances that i can vitamin water the more i see it good he met again. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything with
1:26 am
my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects why . was this terminally alter what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's same. when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant to the public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.
1:27 am
room going real need for. the white house promises an immigration framework next week we live help or am down or further inflame the outrage emigration. activist termly thiel will talk about that on this edition of all. of the politicking on larry king on wednesday white house spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders said the trumpet administration will be releasing a framework for changes in u.s. immigration policy next week this after democratic lawmakers agreed to end the three day government shutdown based on a commitment from the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell to engage in immigration debate a move that outraged activists and doctor recipients one such activist joins us now
1:28 am
erica and a goal is she is a doctor recipient and previously worked as national press secretary for bernie sanders twenty sixteen presidential campaign she joins us from washington are you hopeful erick of all what this framework might be. well first of all thank you for having me in no i'm not i'm not hopeful i think it's it's really frustrating to see that you know first they ended in a way that hurt so many undocumented youth like myself but not only that they ended it to be able to use it as a bargaining chip to get more in forstmann to get more policy that's going to come after a family's loss in place that was going to you know they want to build a wall they want to do. a lot of a lot of what they have you wanted to do for years the people in congress like congressman grassley and others and people in the white house likes to miller and
1:29 am
others who are advice trump is so it's very unfortunate and it's also it's heartening to see that the chance that we had in congress to be able to force them to not do this you know through through the process of over the funding bill. didn't go through because democrats just didn't did you know didn't do enough the democrats changed what is your what did you want them to do. well the fact is we understand that they're not in power right now the white house is you know led by a republican a white supremacist congress and you know as a whole as liberal republicans but democrats do have some leverage when it comes to the funding bill and the fact right now is that in the house you would actually need i mean ryan right now is saying we want to pass immigration reform bill or any other bill i need the majority of the majority to be able to put it on the floor and so it's really difficult to put you know the dream by its own on the floor so for us democrats have the chance to be able to put in the spending bill as part of
1:30 am
it to be you know us queen as possible was as we're asking for the dream act to be . but unfortunately they they lost that opportunity you know sure mark even as soon as he had a way out and is this hard any minutes also very very frustrating for us to see democrats soreness under the bus once again as they did on in the past does it drive you nuts to know that ninety percent of americans support path to citizenship . over eighty percent of republicans support it if i can to get done here i mean the dream act has been an issue that has had support from americans for many years once we started telling our stories coming out of the shadows people sort of really becoming sympathetic to our stories but at the same time more and more members of congress and people in d.c. started using us as a bargaining chip sort of using us as a political football and it's unfortunate because you know we.
