a lot. while as folks are anticipating tillerson is upcoming visit people recalling how in the past when u.s. officials have visited turkey they have talked about the country's security concerns saying that they're legitimate and voicing support for the turkish government in combat and security concerns this is what we've heard in the past. one nation and one of our allies. and insurgency inside its own borders and nato and america stand with turkey on a machine curity concerns we have never given heavy arms to the wife e.g. so there's no one to take back. now interestingly some of these security concerns that u.s. officials say they support turkey in combating these security concerns are can security concerns the united states has done something to help create as we know

there are a number of kurdish forces in syria that have been armed by the united states and at this point number of the kurdish forces in the s.d.f. which are armed by the united states have actually moved to the north of the country to fight against turkish forces that are now intervening in syria against the kurds and so this is quite an interesting development now while in turkey u.s. officials talk one way we've also heard different rhetoric from u.s. leaders regarding the kurdish forces this is what u.s. leaders have said when they're not in an car the coalitions we can jointly with the syrian democratic food system stop mission train the new soon border security fools . who hundred individuals training in the b.s.f. snow group close with the goal of a funnel for the sons of approximate thirty thousand. now as you may expect the turkish president arawak has been less than thrilled with these

statements and actions by u.s. leaders this is some of his more recent rhetoric regarding u.s. support for kurdish forces in syria. but my use to him why do these weapons still arrive america is in the process of creating it. do not encroach on the buddhas do not provoke we will run out of patience. now the operation by the turkish military forces that are intervening in syria to fight against the kurds is called operation olive branch and essentially we've got the turkish military going into syria and fighting against kurdish forces located in the northern part of the country now at this point if tillerson visits the u.s. embassy in turkey it's quite likely that at that point it will be renamed to the street that the u.s. embassy will be located on will be renamed olive branch street in honor of this military operation in which the turkish military is fighting against forces that

have been armed by the united states so all eyes are on turkey as we await the visit by the u.s. secretary of state that there seems to be a level of increasing tension between the two countries as it's rather unclear exactly who the usa is supporting and what position they're taking regarding the fight between the kurdish forces and the turkish government yeah it does appear to be real shifting sands that does not face the update from new york as you say appreciate it. the british government's again being accused of turning its back on interpret to help the military in afghanistan many of receive death threats from the taliban and say they can't remain in the homeland probably because spoke exclusively to an afghan interpreter who's facing his final bid for asylum in the u.k. . they only give me the notice what people taishan they told me that you have to leave the country so they're going to send me. i will depend differently because abdul barry was

a frontline in ten percent with british forces in afghanistan from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten and know that if i join the british forces so they will be very close for me but i have to do that because our country was. the situation in our country was very bad so i have to help the international forces to protect other countries so they came to my country to protect us so why should i not hopeless but working with u.k. troops made abdul a target for local taliban forces that was a phone call from my from my father and a letter put in my door so you know that you son is working for the infidels so tell him to leave the job and they were as he will be slaughtered the threats soon turned to violence when the taliban grated on my family my father and my mom and my dad so on that time when that happened he was completely angry all the problems happened to me just because of you creating problems for us with his and

his family's lives in danger abdul was forced to flee had enough time to go and seek peace for protection or something like that only twice was for me one choice to leave the country he came to britain illegally through cali and applied for asylum on the very first day since then the home office has rejected his initial application and his appeal the government says it's safe for abdul to return to kabul where he says his life is in danger that was. i was and justice. when i heard i helped the british forces in a very risky time but at the moment i'm at risk so i need help but this still ignoring me. as an asylum seeker can't work and this is the modest accommodation that the government provides for him he also gets thirty five pounds

a week in living expenses and he has the constant threat of deportation looming over him there around a thousand afghan interpreters that worked with british forces around four hundred of them have been given u.k. visa. it is which means abdul is one of around six hundred who haven't qualified the system has been described as unfair and a lot of. abdul's best friend how it managed to win hashmarks applied for his visa while still in afghanistan and after a two year wait he was brought over to the u.k. under the government's official afghan interpreter scheme do you feel guilty sometimes that you got the visa and abdul didn't buy one visa for every interpreters who spend time over the telephone is on the seventh person you know on the phone you're more powerful be able to be this searching for people. that they work with. nato for so. if you were.

back in afghanistan abdul was a professional boxer he can't compete in the u.k. because he doesn't have a work permit but he can still train since i came here he can do nothing to staying at home going out sometimes they keep him busy with my turnings you googled market i mean if you're human being. bold move would you be. so sure of the challenging part. of the work that the world. should be on but i have a full. view of the world to go for a free we sure would the people would trust the world. and you would go for a new deal but you were all abdul can do now is wait for his final appeal against

deportation to be considered by the home office problem turf either in afghanistan . or the same cost there was a big third for me the taliban and have i have a very bad depression day by day my depression is getting worse so i'm buried about my life and nothing could happen to me pretty boy who r.t. greater manchester. bad position to ban is not what officially the u.k. government says it investigates every claim of intimidation and considers old cases on and indeed an individual basis we put forward. to a number of organizations focusing on human rights including honesty international if we get a response well you know. well off the break we see how the olympic athletes from russia is being received at the winter olympics and public awareness about it just a couple of stories that.

politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be preached. to the right to be press that's what the full story of the more people. i'm interested always in the water how. should. i fight for many years so i know the game and 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 families it's the age of the super money. and spending twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful just

a great chance with. moscow now in the evening there are two unusual teams at this year's winter olympics one is the united squad of course from north and south korea completely together for the first time in twelve years and that's widely seen as a positive move and a sign that relations are warming between them the other team olympic athletes from russia known as away are competing under a neutral flag because of the doping scandal to set them back a twenty fourteen it betraying there are some spectators whether they recognize team russia rebranding here. it will take a long while for russian athletes journalists like myself that i can tell you first sure to forget the acronym oh ok r after chang twenty eight thing well just before

the winter games a group of russian designers thought they could take advantage of the international olympic committee's language sanctioned. i put one of those on myself and decided to walk around near the olympic park a little bit. what kind of team did people with this kind of sweatshirt support i'm sure. it's a limb take it half really believes he can keep the russian north korea i think north korea russia the russians the food there will be here because they do that if you lose a limb and then something that a limp think athletes of russia what would you chant if you were annoying our team

supporter oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh we've come from really full on our. own. leg to see what some people say a russian animal can make it sound like that they're the russian bear siberian tiger i fear was. fear will make it sound when it's hungry. for gold medals well judging by the first few days of the winter olympics the russian fans have chosen to stick to the more traditional chants and symbols. here we have a train go artsy n.p.r.

. well for. not good one rather hostile thousands of french football fans rampaged through the spanish capital wednesday you could see behind me the a build up to the crowds game between real madrid and paris and your man of the way for a couple. of. young feel the tension there the french found set off flares and fireworks close their opponent stadium the match was judged high risks a riot police were mobilized and mounted police escorted supporters to the venue eventually that much ended with a three one win for madrid with the return leg in paris at the beginning of march. talking france the first president's on course to take another campaign pledge off the list of mental micron's promising to bring back compulsory military service and his party has been busy trying to whip up support for it. is course on the up we call it the national service because it's the place where the youth of our country

and the nation meet one another where they get to know the military service on the one hand and civil engagement on the other it's where one gives his time to the nation and to society. what about the age range it will cover all age range of supposed boys and girls will take part in the service will be obligatory polls three years ago suggested that eighty percent of people were in favor of the move but now those two in the little more than a half next the. people in paris what they think about it at the moment. but to play as you're ready to serve your country yes i have even tried to get in the army . think there are many ways to help your country and not on the in the army it's not all about taking a weapon in your hand. army

training is definitely way stricter than the school curriculum but this experience gave me a new perspective on things. as well i think military service is something good this creates unity around the country but serve and should be optional. at the moment at all seems quite crazy her as they say it would be obligatory then they say not. the french national anthem at all. or french metrix but every of maura told us he doesn't expect macross plan to work out though anyway. burn mark or is no paying you know one of it is an underwear listing proposals he did during his campaign talking about three of six months is

a concentration and couldn't work because to teach the basic note ages to the basic skills to a soldier it needs many mom three months is it's impossible to make something useful for a. modern army like the french army where there is a many high tech nichole the systems check out our you tube channel so much more and great videos as well we don't have time to bring you here in the short thirty minutes r.t. dot com has always got your latest news around the clock to hear moscow is kevin zero in this thursday for now saying thanks for watching this latest live bullet in the small for me just over thirty with it. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying

a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires transition. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and parching to dance sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the u.s. . about your sudden passing i have only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bang term. here at me on the left but i tell you i'm sorry you like so i write these last words and helps to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still

some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with the death of this one to. speak to now because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker. oh man it's kaiser this is they report yes we're back oh codes are good things are happening. so max we're back from the round table where we were down in mexico enjoying the sunshine we both looked a little bit funny and in the second half we have an amazing interview with patrick

byrne of overstock dot com he's coming out with some of the clean exciting platform called tease erode you talked to him about that and that is a surprise setting actually for the second half get ready for that i shot it on my i phone i thought i did some pretty good camera work there but while we were in can tune on february eighth or february sixth actually twenty eighteen there was an interesting story that happened that was breaking while we were there and i was the price of being quite crashing down into the five thousands but there were testimony given by the c.f.c.'s sea chairman and the f.c.c. chairman to a senate committee and we're going to look at that headline as you see and see if to see hearing more legitimate i ceo's or if there was no bitcoin there would be no block chain the commodity futures trading commission and u.s. securities and exchange commission f.c.c. met the morning of february sixth twenty eighteen to discuss their roles in block chain virtual currencies and i ceo's set in washington d.c.

at the dirksen senate building the committee on banking housing and urban affairs met in open session for about two hours we'll go over some of their quotes but the shocking thing was just how positive in particular christopher john carlo who is the chairman of the c.f. to c. was about bitcoin he seemed to be a huge fan of his kids his niece everybody's involved in big in the family of the millennial and the youngsters he says you know the very positive stuff from those regulator may seem to be paving the way for a more positive disposition toward you know the world is clue of those who supported those who don't support it it doesn't seem to matter really who supports it or does the support of it as a life of its own and it out of the gender you know the protocol is high. coded to dismantle the world as we know it and those who try to get the way will be destroyed by it but those who want to come on board like

a friendly regulator that's ok a bit wary though you know it's the classic good cop bad cop so there you go you know when regular anywhere from the government comes with the gift you have to be a little leery well he isn't in fact was saying compared to the internet development and the internet he said developed without regulation and he believes that this space should also develop without regulation his quote was during the oh most twenty years of do no harm regulation about the internet a massive amount of debt of investment was made on the internet infrastructure yielded a rapid expansion in access that supported swift deployment and mass adoption of internet based technologies internet based innovations have revolutionized nearly every aspect of american life from telecommunications to commerce transportation and research and development do no harm was unquestionably the right approach to development of the internet similarly i believe that do no harm is the right over arching approach for distributed ledger technology yeah well then the internet was

destroyed with net neutrality a so-called laws so it was a trojan horse that brought in all of us a monopolist like jeff bezos and others who are now a dominating the economy and completely on healthy ways yeah this regulator's all about come on into my warm fuzzy hot and we've got an agenda for you oh i hope the big i knew that big going to has the strength to put these guys in their graves who are you know johnny come lately as who are talking the good talk but we know from experience on the internet being an exact excellent example that they speak with forked tongue so again he turns to first of all he said if there was no bitcoin there would be no block chain so he destroys all that argument of the likes of jamie diamond and jim rickards and everybody. says well block chain technology is interesting he was asked by senators asking whether or not what they thought about a block without bitcoin and he said it's the value in the crypto currency which

secures the block chain so there is you can't separate the two then he said as we saw with the development of the internet we cannot put the technology genie back in the bottle virtual currency is mark a paradigm shift in how we think about payments traditional financial processes and engaging in economic activity ignoring these developments will not make them go away nor is it a responsible regulatory response so again you know the likes of jim records had said and many others around him many other people like him many people who have gone on c.n.n. b.b.c. and bloomberg have said that regulators will destroy it and you know just get ready for the i.r.s. to crack down on you or you know regulators to squash you or the department of jet justice to squash you and the next episode we're going to talk about arizona and their tax policy but welcoming bitcoin as payment of taxes but in terms of this. the c.s.t. seaguy. chairman was very very positive he's now got

a huge following on twitter of all the twitter folk. but then we'll go into the f.c.c. guy he was he was positive but not quite as positive no ok so i mean he's making some correct noises about the relationship between bitcoin and the blog chain you know there was an attempt to split these two and say oh the blog change is great i don't like bitcoin understands that you can't separate the two that in fact the block chain is enabled by bitcoin not the other way around so it makes it secure and so he's got now bitcoin one o one again but you know i remember the regulators like for our children to look at the silver market it was given ironclad evidence of manipulation and somehow we overlooked that and somehow didn't call time on that scam later we found out vocal believe that the market was being manipulated but by the time he was gone so will this guy be thrown to the wolves i mean you know the force

of the banking industry jamie dime is not going to go away just because some regulators you know sway is singing a sweet song you know i don't think jamie dimon is hiding under his bed you know he's reloading you know this fight is going to be ramped up this is not going away it's important to note for those out there the rest of the world who might not know understand american regulation system c f t c is basically regulating commodities and futures markets out of chicago is the primary center for that as you see is you think of wall street and even though they cover the whole u.s. you know it's mostly wall street and wall street banks so the s.e.c. guy steps forward with his he also says disembodied technology i block taina bitcoin are ok there are new developments we're going to see what happens with them whereas chairman jan carlo of c f t c mentioned i. ceo's initial point offerings only once of course j. clayton the seat the chairman of the f.c.c.

mentioned it one hundred thirty two times and he says simply said we should embrace the pursuit of technological advancement as well as new and innovative innovative techniques for capital raising but not at the expense of principles undermining our well founded and proven approach to protecting and best fares and markets so we did have a lawyer at the event who spoke about after watching this testimony and this lawyer said that clayton was essentially putting the gatekeepers on notice that the way the f.c.c. regulates is they regulate through lawyers and accountants who are supposed to guide their clients. about the correct procedures. clayton says when he looked at every single ses every single i.c.a.o. he looked at was the security none of them did register a security maybe one or two of them did. so she did that

so this lawyer did mention that there will be enforcement action some enforcement actions coming soon probably against some exchanges and probably against i.c.a.o. is initial quite offerings that we're offering steep discounts to certain insiders and people oh yeah i see no market the initial coin offering market is a distinct market and it does come under the purview of the f.c.c. as a security that they would monitor closely as a securities offering those comments did overlapped somewhat with crypto currencies like bitcoin a theory i'm they were talking about bitcoin when the question came up well would you start to be taking a more aggressive stance toward bitcoin and they said well we're not sure because they don't have anyone to talk to it bitcoin there is no one eight hundred bitcoin

to call there's no headquarters there's no person like of a tallit get a theory i'm so against my point here's a regulator talking tough there's a regulator talking sweet kisses good cop bad cop this is what cops do this is what the government does big coin itself is on an agenda it's has a rock you know i love this story that the british banks are being hacked into and people are mining big coin because if anything you can do to destroy british banks and wall street banks is a positive toward a better humanity they are the pox on our civilization big oil will attack them in many different ways if you're going to undermine them by mining and basically collapse from the inability to have the energy to survive then that's another good . a way to destroy. this playing this this locust infestation called you know the banks. of course i c.e.o.'s have nothing to do with

bitcoin or theory other than riding on top of it they are financial offerings and whether or not ever anybody was trying to pretend otherwise in the second half you do talk to patrick byrne about regulators and his he is doing and i say oh but as a security so he's doing above board with a little bit of that comes through the whorehouse they take the piano player you know something so they'll come in there are still these i see you know those although they're also curious you're all going to jail and by the way are you guys in the bitcoin camp coming along with israel some questions for you right so i mean this is a war this is the war that we are been born to fight this is the worst toshi the playing field to do battle this is so i mean this is great that this guy's speaking nicely but i don't trust him as far as i can see the home while we're there another fake so she came forward by the way by me and to toshi i wrote this blog post dot com and that was referring to soto she round table which is the true vision of soto

she's vision which which is that we're ever we are now where big coin is now is suppose she's vision it doesn't matter what she was thinking nine years ago it's what is developed now and the overall conversation there as to toshi roundtable were these are like one hundred two hundred of the. top engineers investors and developers in this space and lightning network was by far the largest most important technology being developed around bit coy when the other big issue was speaking of regulators and financial stuff was tether and other the guys from the next did talk about that. are opinion and we are investors a bit fanatics i must say but our opinion was that the market just like the market told us mt gox was going to collapse the market said says about tether at point this.
