u.s. drugs against the country that warning coming in from the russian side at the u.n. security council earlier were moscow washington once again confronted each other over the situation in syria. we understand very well that the heads of syrian armed groups have received instructions to begin an offensive following potential active force we saw recent examples in iraq and libya they show is that the u.s. needs the u.n. security council for pragmatic reasons they used in the case of iraq with the vial they used it to cover up the initiative of the libyan no fly zone i'm asked what's being done now you're showing us an imaginary vial it's empty chemical weapons didn't produce the most casualties in world war one but they were the most feared in world war two chemical weapons were employed on an industrial scale against civilians resulting in the worst genocide in human history which we recall just yesterday on holocaust remembrance day i think it's becoming increasingly difficult

as the cold war of words is heating up to a very hot potential military action and i really do wish that he would dial down the. anger in what he's trying to accuse russia or of and the stakes i think of becoming frighteningly high i mean i was very interested in a very active in speaking out against the iraq war i was very interested i have been for a couple of decades and speak out against the libyan intervention which was illegal as well but i didn't feel the same sort of existential fear that i are currently feeling around what might escalate if america and the u.k. and france start to invade illegally another sovereign country which is syria. in london and he war activist age to protest in front of the prime minister's residence they demanded treason may not involve the u.k. in any potential military operation in syria.

the test is repairing those reading bomb syria and not in our name youngers directed not only towards tunisian made up towards the us president to demonstrators also called on politicians to halt their war rhetoric and think about the suffering of the people of syria. elsewhere tonight violence has again erupted along the israeli border in gaza where i.d.f. soldiers have been using live fire in tear gas disperse protesters gaza's health ministry says one person has been killed and hundreds injured including paramedics over the past two weeks thousands of palestinians have been campaigning against what's widely seen as israel's occupation of gaza and demanding the right of return to israel for palestinian refugees and their descendants.

this is one of the weapons the israelis have been using and this is tear gas canisters from the drone that the israelis have been using since the morning to throw to god the tear gas canisters on the protesters it's running very high tensions are running high as you see the ambulances are still here medics are and the fia trying to get through to all the palestinians that are getting injured here's another injury we're just right now from the fence and you can see the injuries and the leg call. that medics are trying to to to treat the other injuries the in the field so they would be able to do it's going to be easier on the palestinians had it had that spirit has ministry because that as you saw spittle and all the other hospitals are crowded with patients and injuries from the past two fridays. it's another to get.

to. the. hospital. what's happening now is the israeli army are using add that you got got mr strong desire to just got his start on days really on the to sit in protesters it's so dangerous now for everyone for every palestinian you decide. for every palestinian who are coming here to probably die as i did the right of return. so. this is just. mr. israeli snipers directly

shot yes it matters and yes another journalist that is being injured just right now . it's very obvious that this palestinian journalists wearing dress jackets. palestinians attending the rallies including children have been taking precautions to protect themselves best they can from the tear gas some are open homemade masks filled with perf human cotton others were more inventive using fruit and vegetables meantime on the other side of the border an israeli soldier who shot a palestinian on the gaza border during a protest in december has been cleared of wrongdoing by a military inquiry video emerged of him firing shots alongside other snipers who cheered and laughed at the injuries that inflicted. that's. really good of the word to know. why. then should resign or rather he just did it though i mean at the words of one of

the other student did. well. on. what. this is when i did the. he because. while i did nothing i was just a demonstration i went to my friends to help them and before i reached the place they shot me the soldier knew that i was going to help them and that's why i was shot what a couple of hours from the palestine solidarity campaign he says israeli soldiers he thinks reacting in a disproportionate and indeed inhumane way. and absolute act of talk at practice effectively because the cheering from the the soldiers fellow soldiers basically was just completely inhumane and outrageous in the west i challenge them

to produce evidence anywhere that this would happen. and in any case this shows you that that the difference on the one side you have heavily armored. soldiers and on the other side or you have a protest as who might have a story to throw from a long long way away is not exactly going to damage the defense or hit the soldier. coming appeared out international a key ally of germany's chancellor merkel's breaking ranks he says islam is foreign to the country's culture and give the details in reaction to that then after the break. our.

again

a key ally of germany's chancellor angela merkel's weighed in on the debate on integration and religion in germany alexander dobra claims that islam is not part of the country and cannot therefore be allowed to shape its culture muslims who want to integrate into our society a part of our country but islam is not part of germany islam has no cultural roots in germany islam doesn't play a role in shaping our country's culture and it should not be culturally influential in germany no islamic country on earth has developed a comparable democratic culture like the ones we know in christian countries refugees should return to their home countries whenever this is possible to print remarks echo some of the slogans used by the right wing nationalist alternative for germany party during its election campaigning last year the f.d.a. ended up finishing third in the polling making it nonetheless the country's largest opposition party and it's on the dobrynska head of the union right now between merkel's christian democrats and the c.s.u. his views on islam call it directly contradict the chancellor's though she says

that several million muslims live in germany and they belong in germany as well as their religion as opposed to maximilian craft from the f.t. who believes that conservatives are starting to change their stance on migrants. i think it's more reality did forces conservative parties to change their stance on muslims there is a large series of criminal attacks of life attacks in germany every day. there is a correlation between muslim immigration and crime change of culture so they see that reality changes that people get very unsatisfied and it brings them to change at least territory so they don't change their policy right now but at least they have changed rhetorical. sport relations between you can russia might but no time low right now during the politics but that hasn't stopped british football fans from travelling here to moscow for the u.a.e. europa league in the c.s.k. moscow arsenal game on thursday media outlets ran threatening articles about blood

secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with the death of this one quite different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. something happens in this case it was the chemical attack on civilians in syria and then the public in the media are waiting for the response i think it's very clear now that if president trump said that there is going to be a response then it will be i just think that our expectations in a way that this american response will be so severe that it will be a game changer i think this is not the case it will again be messages and very careful calculation by the americans not to deteriorate into a clash a direct confrontation with russia.

you keep. one fact. that. it's in the december morning and i'm on a bus headed down south from chinatown new york their breathless driver speeds up on the ice who really. am traveling across the states in a snowstorm because of

a book. written over dishpan of twenty years back and forth from the mining areas to the stern kentucky the book by science corner. is a monumental collection of moral history it tells the struggle of the words bills to round mining of coal when any grants were to come to the area to work well paid but often has faded jobs the book tells the story of harlan county that's where i'm going. to bury. this repast. own. land.

i'm headed to the depot mary kom of course. i want to see what's left of the. three years since his first visit now that the u.s. is shifting to major and gas and coal mines for shutting down one after another i do not expect to find a lively city when i drive into harlem i find a ghost of the city where people are stuck like car turned in and black and white picture their stories and there. have not changed much from those recorded by pushing pills research and that they are leaving me in this journey.

well when i really don't know what. they. would have been thirty. plus at least two it would be. worth. in their place now. appalachian man but. appalachian eating. its.

prime are summer fall. are shallow. i got mean when i. i was sixteen years old and my husband was seventeen years old and then lead me in myriad about six months and he went into the mountains and then six months after that dad and i went to contacts and he. hadn't two week old son. lady who lived down the street here only. killed. murdered that he would hit really. low. where no.

company wants to cold real that's georgia said also that no coal ready for the christmas they wanted in their. shop the whole world will put down it was done by that old wall. rope keothavong if. they go much. to three the boats that look at it one through to it that shielded. ninety six a. rod would fairly. soon as. i find remnants of the mining history all over memory self the casualties and the hard

labor are alive in the stories told by the young and the like they're not had to create the glory of collective struggle and hard work paid off. speaking to the locals barson saloons you can see that their life was and still is mine mine's harder now. relief their collective legend and whether played a part where said with pride stare survive the word disappearing before day i ask. of the rose parade rest. in their stride brand is a bit of a work first erases gunshy of but first we have like one sixty of them at meyers grove so. it was work and i got there as my grandpa grabbed the six awful sweater.

that made me know you. will. go. in every lady made home a and at it. he always had because you know now with dates the life that you will say. through. the group you won't want to hear that there's no water in the mine and soon you would have to drown through water it would get it over your knees and. the horses would have to pull through the. and then they would lay to mouthfuls for tracks sometimes when they'd run out of traffic people here

named were you know anywhere. there's nothing for him today and there have been all the young pay for the turning to. africa. and. if it were some one would have a state and. say our government would get interested in this place this part of kentucky think we. could make it but if they don't i'm there every day. in this say you know there's.

this or pop. eight point seven debbie m.t.v. to downtown weisberg this is johnson brains in arcade until ten o'clock tonight so i'm talking to some of the best music of two thousand and thirteen right now is playing the song but all. use. is holding its own groove.

in one thousand nine hundred i was the first woman to work in this one particular mine and my job was what they called the belt boy and then they started calling me the bell person because i was a female so when i would go underground everybody would be kind of gathered to see this. women coming out of the mines you know and then i remember my face will be all black but the coldest since i was a little bit vain so i would have a handkerchief and i would wipe my face off before i would come outside so it would be all clean. so that it but the guys would always be looking for me to come out because it was just so amazing i guess to them to see a woman working in the mines molding it's all true. for manalo now.

i remember when i was in high school i loved the earth science i love the mountains all of anything he was brock's and my earth science teacher back then said there's going to be eight hundred years of coal and when he said that that's when things were good you know where everybody was working like the guys that worked in the mines they always had the nice cars like the camero i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened. we now know.
