no doubt about you i want to go here i know but i'm glad you are dovetailing to mark we have this israeli jet that crashed we don't know exactly what happened to it but it was really fascinating. predictable how the israelis and washington mimicking television talking points what it's all about in ran ok here here is a country that you know the united states tax pro government forces in syria over one hundred people are killed and then we have this goes down we don't know exactly what the circumstances are but then the talking point is it's a brand's fault to be going after reigning in assets in syria israel has admitted in recent hours that it was brought down by syrian air defense yet it is real present and says their justification for their most recent attack on syria and let's be clear. when we're talking israel uses the excuse of defense self-defense

and everything well that is madness is saying also that the media just no good while militarily invading and occupying syria israel has attacked syria over one hundred times since two thousand and eleven in fact they call it the problem and not the idea of the israeli fighters just own syrian air space and let fire on any of the enemies and do whatever they want there to whether this is come to an end as of yesterday. is that victory is this an escalation or is it sending a very strong signal and what is russia's role in this because there is some kind of debate here. and one of them is that damascus has had enough considering what mark just said there that they are going to start reacting here or is it the russians and the iranians whispering in your i tend to think the the the the syrians are saying enough is enough they will strike back in a civil war if you. to two thousand and eleven in there and then spread to other

regions of syria with the support of the west with the support of the united states israel and these are the leadership was sure that the opposition would win and that assad would lose he would he would go and then pro-american he would. come in in that mask and some conflict would be just right here to go to iraq and so for years israel has supported syrian and arrange a call islamic for me. in syria this is not a secret even newspapers like her rats have written about islamic fighters being taken to medical hospitals i sort of see indeed and other groups too and. and now in the last few years after. tearing the tide in syria and it is now obvious to everyone in the field that assad is going to stay he's not going to go no matter how many pronouncement that they're going to be made by parents by

tillerson or anyone else for that matter isabel is now faced with a very different situation so israel now understands that the country to what have you expected iranian influence in syria is now going to decrease and somebody who is going to increase you know what and israel now wants a stake in the future of syria and that's why the us to stay in there because they want to stake in the future before we go to break let me just look at it from another angle i mean they keep talking about israel's security well before the syrian war the golden gate was the quiet backwater always israel to lose groups were taken to syrian territory so you agree occupied you were illegally owned by israel by talking about israel security tourists were taken there it was the safest delegation in israel no it's a was or why because the israeli government together with western governments disk . so i did to do some resume change in syria and now they're crying that iran this

spring in its influence you know mr netanyahu comes to law school to negotiate that russians will somehow pressure iran lots of spread into that area they kind of themselves to blame for starting that war if there is anything here gentlemen here i want to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stay with us.

a plate for many clubs over the years so i know the gaming so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to kill the narrowness and spending to twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game a great chance for. a. minute. it's in american interests to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the united states or elsewhere in the world so i don't think there's any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive

. welcome across the uk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news. you can argue before going to the break you want to finish up but we have i mean seriously in syria this is the whole situation is escalating so quickly we've had at least one israeli jet shot down write it most recent hours we've had israeli syrian pro syrian government arab tribes in east syria attacked by the united states and over one hundred of them killed there's rumors about whether russian security contractors were killed as well that's that's unconfirmed as of yet we had . one or possibly two turkish helicopter shot down over africa. by kurdish forces that are resisting the turkish invasion of syria there and we have

a russian fighter that was shot down by a manpad this follows a multiple drone swarm attacks on russian military bases the syrian conflict is at a point of escalation and crisis that we haven't even seen before the low hanging but you know i didn't really know that if you were watching cable networks you get what israel and the u.s. really show is that if there's anyone that has a right of self-defense it is syria against israel the united states turkey saudi arabia and so there's another very short point to it and i think he's in for this escalation on march eighteenth they're going to be presidential elections in russian it is when you when a well known in the united states and other western capitals and one of the things they're trying to do these days is to discredit the russian position as much as they can before the elections so in the next month month and a half we will see more of this more of these attempts to propaganda information war attacks on the russian interests around the world not just to syria everything

is possible. no i just can say that don't forget about russian madelyne in the u.s. elections where you see direct u.s. mandan in russian ok. well we'll probably. later in the week we'll go back to a member memo gate and there's going to be more memos coming out but i want to talk about some diplomacy and optics mark the opening of the olympic games. who's the winner and who's the loser from an optics point if you go ahead peace peace the winner is the winner the site of the two koreas the north korean delegation entering south korea and marching together the end lympics under a unified unification flag with the other is what you're out there without the border this was incredible and there's one point person on scene who was extremely upset by this and had to give his protest against peace and that was the u.s. president mike pence. vice president i'm sorry. forty and so they could go

to this is really ok mark new to morrow you think he refused to stand up for the for the host south korea because it was a joint unification team he refused to shake hands with any of the north koreans out of it's he had this look on his face and actually the the side i that kim jong un sr who is leading the north korean delegate delegation sitting behind mike pence gave him that's that's gone viral over the internet shows i think you know for once the world with north korea side on this showing discussed at the u.s. . throwing a tantrum and even the prospect that some peace just tears are being made in the koreas he's got. the. north korean leader otherwise known by some people as rocket man is turning in to be quite the. diplomat and you say i'm not sure. so somebody who has been for years by. himself by the think himself is

a deal maker writing a book it's a great deal well what. for the past year almost every day twitter speeches writings and so forth like your of the general assembly yes examiner i did the speech in front of the general assembly locked and loaded ready to attack. exactly almost every single day and daily basis and essentially of his administration kept seeing that the united states will not negotiate with north korea and then last year and yank it gets rid of its nuclear program and so forth the only young has not has not compromised when the single negotiating issue not a single one and what has happened it has been able to negotiate with south korea

due to coming to the olympics as a single team the hokie i'm sure you have a visit exactly he has just invited the new south korean president to north korea historic visit if it happens and what has this gap and that means even is that both south and north korea they do not want war or the so you're telling me that they you know the real national interest yes there are a couple in. this country and actually this is not to kill hundreds of thousands or millions of little of koreans in the north or the south where i think we should at least mention on this program there are no russian flags where a lot of that these ceremony that the russian team actually cut to march us olympic athletes from russia in neutral quotes and i think that new play here there was that because i think it's a good development because there were many people in russia who did not receive the message from the west you know who said that the russian television is exaggerating

they're not so hostile ok you have got sanctions. the criminalist your work perhaps or war now if you didn't get that look at the already in pick fleet you know in your truck called the russian flag being banned and if you don't take if you don't make conclusions out of that story you are just blind one sure development before they're just these before the olympic games started the. sports courts international sports course. yes in. switzerland quit i mean the eight twenty eight the russian actually yes and then the international olympic committee said still even though they can't be in a period they're not going to let them go so this this guy that be healed to the same court would have to say during this week's court it was a collective punishment for something which is going to take them and court said after i receive threaten that the court said no no yes no he got the click on the can come up with a good nobody's

a court so there is no evidence that these twenty eight russian athletes did you know any doping they were involved in any way and still the international olympic committee they're still clearly dominated by western political machinations here denied them coming simply because the russian the you know the humerus think is that the court said there is no evidence that these russians he was doping but there is no evidence that i was you will spot short of that so they can call this is also. yes but you know i think where i think it's still a good development sports is not life sports is about imitating life preparing yourself for difficult yes so it russians don't get the message no. we're simply not watched all of that of that book to me because i mean it just responses to screwing the big tradition ok i mean you can criticize you know it's all about money and it's about sponsors you know and all the big sports franchise you know but at the end of the day it's about individuals competing against others in that

later. being peeled away it's the only demise in addition i have to wonder you know it's taken us twenty yes twenty. but you know how one how are the athletes when they when they conduct their games is it could be in the back of their head it's like well you know the best person in this field is not on the on the field right now it cheapens every single your medal you are right it is this is one this is the most horrible thing you know that. advocated a total ban on the russian team at the rio games the same voices of all these games you know the problem is the problem is north korea did not compromise on anything and their team is in south korea their primary care providers not everything we said that we are going to clear up our. you know that you know there anti-doping agency in russia we made every corporate minus with the international olympic committee what did we get. you lose it is come in and they

look at is. a comment it was no more and they will take the money or they will regardless of this i mean the u.s. may have won a temporary petty political victory here but regardless russia still has the third largest contingent at these olympics whether it is the men or what is the medals but maybe you guys already know what is the medals chart look like i mean south korea norway and then. how do they get in there rather than writing russia russia they're writing olympic athletes from russia which you know everyone knows who those medals belong to and at the end of this olympics according to the agreements that have been made if russia abides by all of this bad thing of their flag and their anthem and everything at the end of the olympics russia with its medals intact will be able to march under the russian flag is actually another the whole what they call i think i'm going to go and there is some speculation that at the

last minute there's a body no one else. this is about sports so it's not going to last as long as being a part of the report about but also. not always about that at least since the last forty years has not been about sports it was about politics let's face it and i think you know the stupidity of the american side i think mark is not quite right about them going in a victory they wanted people in russia to create porton because they are with leah's did not go to. their own flag ok what they want is russian people k d n c and the united states i mean not only the states but their release for doing all of these ugly things or our fleets that's the complete opposite of what we're almost out of time for this segment here gentlemen i want to go back to the the possible reproach mol of the two koreas because what is the next step i mean. i started out this part by talking about the optics of it what's the next step to really. gain on

these are the most important step for a south korean for north korean this is to get the united states out of these negotiators fire and they're not going to be out completely of course especially considering the american influence the influence that washington exercises in south korea in seoul but to get the u.s. as far out of these negotiations as possible and the further the u.s. is out of there the more chance there is to make agreements but within the human experience fear in the military is fear and one of their issues and other issues family. issues and the less chance there is for armed conflict on the pain of one in five seconds as with the situation in israel palestine north korea south korea the biggest obstacle to a genuine successful peace process is u.s. interference u.s. pursued over germany using this divide and conquer in both places it is in u.s. interests dramatic interests to keep both conflicts going and conquer they want to

get on with yes. ok gentlemen many thanks to my guests here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t. this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember crosstalk. here's what people have been saying about redacted in night with us actually just full on author of the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of our three americans doing the same thing we are apparently better than booth nothing. to see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank. and the right many seriously send us an e-mail. in america a college degree requires

a great deal. paying a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires drugs to. go through humiliation to enter an elite society. and parching to death sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the us. tens of billions hundreds of billions probably a trillion dollars of u.s. government subsidies a shot on the energy industry yes government can subsidize mining of big oil rather cryptic currencies and put those into the wall it's called american citizens going to each have an automatic wallet tied to this also security account and they can get a daily and weekly or monthly air drop of crypto coins that they can then years to boost economy with the government can easily do that.

seventy one people who. are playing near moscow the passenger airliner came down just minutes after takeoff leaving no survivors. also ahead in the program the u.s. admits part of the forces it trains in syria are fleeing to join a conflict against washington turkey. secure their second medal of the winter olympics in. figure skating. criticize the russians medal winning performance.

just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow choose the february thirteenth welcome to the program russia is mourning the seventy one people killed in a plane crash on sunday the regional passenger jet went on minutes after taking off from moscow there were no survivors it's not been over twenty four hours since the crash where learning more about the passengers on board the ill fated plane. was the harley reaction of one grieving mother who lost. the tragedy.

close enough. this woman and her daughter were also on board. the youngest victim was just aged five and also called the flight it was his thirty third birthday he was on his way home to celebrate with family here's how some of those affected are coming to terms with the tragedy. she still could never see. it's like this is the it doesn't actually it's not a new issue of safety here which would put away. the.

troops even. senior. people need to look normal. korean in your family which is. the flight's final seconds were captured by a security camera thought to be installed on a nearby house the crash is visible at the top of the picture here followed by a powerful explosion you can also see black smoke rising investigators have confirmed that the plane exploded on impact not in the year. well a large scale recovery operation was launched in the immediate aftermath on sunday

involving hundreds of emergency service workers and vehicles but it has been extremely difficult to locate debris and to to the weather conditions right because the if it's on the ground for us at the site of the wreckage the search and recovery operation continuing it is even nearing its conclusion according to the latest statement we've heard from the emergency services they've searched twenty five of the thirty square heck this where the plane and it's the breach believed to have been through about over but as you see one of the biggest problems here is the weather the snow it's getting colder and colder and they've had to bring in a lot of specialized equipment especially stuff to melt the snow caverns as they call them here in russia they're also hundreds and hundreds of rescues here they're working in shifts to the some can rest while others sift through the snow in the

wreckage and they breed but both black boxes have now been found and investigators should have everything they need to rebuild point by point that takeoff the short flight and to find out whatever it was exactly that caused this fatal tragedy. to other global news this hour washington has admitted that some of the kurdish forces it trains in syria are shifting to fight against one of america's own allies turkey is currently on the offensive in northern syria against groups it seems as terrorists are more in the tensions currently playing out in syria. u.s. secretary of defense james mattis has confirmed that u.s. armed kurdish forces in the s.d.f. have been relocating to the northern parts of syria to protect territory from turkey. the destruction of was going on up enough and right now which is drawing

off some of the syrian democratic forces to see the snuff and on the run so that it is causing the police their attention to shift. now the kurds and turkey are both key u.s. allies in the region however there's been tension between all three of them in recent months now we've heard of how the usa has been arming the kurdish forces and providing them with weapons now and carra has been quite upset by this action they consider this to be the arming of terrorists now at this point we do have a statement from james mattis confirming that he believes there are legitimate security concerns on turkey's part about these kurdish forces that have been armed by the united states. to work with. disagreements which is how do we take them on as he was rapidly as possible they have a legitimate security concern and we do not dismiss one bits of them now there has been escalating tension between the united states and turkey especially in the

aftermath of an announcement from the united states that it intended to create a thirty thousand strong border force to protect syria's border with turkey now u.s. leaders backtracked from those comments but that hasn't stopped turkey from being quite upset by these remarks now we've recently seen the beginning of operation olive branch and this is turkish forces moving into syria to fight against the kurds two allies of the united states clashing with each other in syria as the tensions escalate we're even hearing calls to rename the street on which the u.s. embassy in turkey's capital is located there are calls to rename the street olive branch after operation olive branch the turkish operation to go into syria and fight against the kurdish forces armed by the united states there seems to be quite a bit of contradiction in the words and statements of u.s. leaders and there seems. to be rising tension between all three parties the usa

turkey and the kurdish forces. well the rift between turkey and the us could deepen further over another region in northern syria. that's where turkey is targeting in the next part of its military operation currently u.s. troops are stationed there opening up the possibility of direct confrontation we are stuck with a middle east expert where this could lead now the big elephant in the room is members and that's why they invited states is still on the ground they do have troops and in that case if they do not withdraw the troops and advisers from this region then ankara says that repeatedly the president here threatens that he's going to go ahead with this operation in member in case this happens i think there will be a kind of militaristic and that could lead to more tension if not a military standoff between the united states and korea that could lead to

a major escalation or two more. on the ground that would lead to more alinea ating and more isolating of the united states and it seems unclear it isn't looking to ease tensions with washington for the time being either the turkish government has even renamed the street where the u.s. embassy is located in the capital it will not be called all of branch named after and korea's military operation which has seen u.s. train kurds moving across the region to fight against turkey. nearly four months after its liberation from islamic state people from the syrian city of raka are slowly returning to what's left of their homes but many buildings in the city remain riddled with london mines and booby traps and locals say they've been left to take on the reconstruction by themselves.

it was still a third. of our homes but as i said when we returned we found everything we could use to rubble and look at all the devastation of rock is a ghost city by the minute we're living in the midst of destruction we feel completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. horrible the city lies in rubble you have to be made to remove the debris with all money there's no running water so we have to buy in barrels and the us coalition caused the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water supply and clearing the rubble.
