hardy's have made the mining the area a painstaking process for decades the golan heights have been fought over both syria and israel claims the land is theirs as far as the un is concerned it's definitely syrian but that's food to stop the exchange of fire. when the jihadi advance the u.n. peacekeepers flee into any fourteen they've been the only fools to try and ease tensions considering the volatility of the situation here at golan heights the u.n. made a big point out of establishing a presence here well speaking about this particular checkpoint they were driven out by terrorists al nusra front and i still are the two main factions that briefly gained a foothold here and well this area doesn't need any more hostility there's plenty

of it here already after all the front line was just over there with again and i saw holding some territory and israel. doesn't need terrorists on its border and its jet points begin right over those mountains now at least the un patrols can begin again with the help of some russian backup and we should. get together with a un representative we conducted an initial patrol during which we checked the safety of the roads are still there but the main problem is that there are lots of explosives which we've sent all the information we have to the un peacekeeping force for analysis to reconstruct you in checkpoints the russian military police are helping the un mission to inspect the u.n. checkpoints the golan heights may still be territorially be in a state of flux but at least the terrorists have finally been repelled and the un peacekeepers can get on with the job. of reporting from the golan heights in syria

quarter past here in moscow the lido of germany's left party is launching a new political movement cold stand up one of the new groups self-proclaimed goals to defend the interests of those who feel ignored by the current administration. yeah that's simply. cannot miss it. because. if you know ya them the good. news all comes over from. the south to me in. the group will be looking to rally a left wing voters and pressure german politicians to create a left wing government stand up is also looking to win over so-called protest voters those who strongly oppose the way germany is heading today its leader in connect is against the current administration's open borders policy and says that migrants unlimited access to germany's labor market must come to an end there have
6:17 am
to be open borders for the persecuted but we certainly can say that anyone who wants to you may come to germany claim social benefits and look who work it's detached from reality according to a new poll the as many as thirty four percent of german voters could vote for the new movement if elections were to take place and we heard from one german m.p. who has pledged his support for the new movement. yeah the will happen we have a exchanging cooperation especially with bernie sanders people in the united states who are against hillary clinton they missed out on getting the democratic nomination because of clinton intrigues we are also in close contact with the supporters of jeremy corbyn at the moment to movement in the united kingdom of also with the complain of france's john the who got almost twenty percent in the last financial action.
6:18 am
the left are split and weak not just in germany and all of europe but we do have a trend towards the right we would like to combine forces to make a progressive breakthrough when you look at polling there's always a majority that want better paid better pension and a non confrontational foreign policy regarding russia and are also against nato expansion grant offered them a political direction and policy of. the us after. we have to present something different from the alternative for germany party in the last two or three years a speedy the greens or dulling didn't show a successful strategy for doing that and competent rather the opposite a video is getting stronger and there is a chance for them becoming the people's party which is absurd of the left should return to its core ideals and goals social questions should be the keystone us i applaud. also shot at her by

fluting integration policy has pretty much friended the minimum wage defunct what was once a one year old job no money brings eighty cents obviously if you take people in you need to ask them somewhere that there are a lot of people under the stress created by the social situation those people need to be able to earn a wage that lets them live in dignity if this is not happening it's understandable that people become angry and lean towards right wing party it is those. people that we will be reaching out to for the sake of our democracy. democrats seem to be falling out of love with capitalism with recent polls showing they are now more positive about socialism and with some saying the party is out of touch with his traditional base. and went to see what's driving the new trial. polls show that among democratic voters socialism is becoming more popular than capitalism according to the latest poll less than half of democrats have
6:20 am
a favorable view of the economic system long considered to be the american way meanwhile fifty seven percent of democrats have a positive view of socialism which until recently was a forbidden word in american discourse this is what leftist intellectual slob voice is easy access about the trend not only to some goat looking glistening. but the system but only so many meters delish they need to look to us and someone with someone i know but. why do they just put it a warm this dead american chic that doesn't function the way you people expected the farm now this shift in views is manifesting itself with the rise in popularity of figures like veteran senator bernie sanders and progressive candidate for congress alexandria a kazuo cortez now many voices are speaking up and saying that the new trend could
6:21 am
be disastrous for the democratic party but the shift among the liberal rank and file continues to go k.k.k. . happy. to do you know how to dance so why are democrats losing faith in capitalism we decided to talk to people here on the streets of new york and find out now a new poll came out that showed that only forty seven percent of democrats favor can. but alyssa what's driving this shift in public opinion. drop i think a lot of it has to do or trump because with his policies i think we're going
6:22 am
further to the left than we should be going because of his policies i see him as being overly wealthy overly influential and kind of not allowing the little guy to succeed which i see capitalism as being the way that they're portraying capitalism in the media now is sort of standing up shining a bad light on it if you like trump is causing this rise in socialist sentiments among democrats. i wouldn't say so i think he he's not really influencing it that much i feel like you know the health care system especially the driving costs and even if the affordable care act's this is not working out well. now among those who favor socialism the top priority concerns seem to be affordable health care and education however trump's embrace of all things capitalist seems to have an influence on those who are now changing their understanding of the word socialism today seems to embody sets of programs by which the government helps regulate and
6:23 am
in some instances run and pay for social programs focused on basic population needs in health education housing and employment it's very interesting to note the how the american you stay. but i hate it even more of the democratic establishment than i do all. the boys in the nation go to bed i hate yes they should look at the dead of own don't look at the bottom it don't think you know how they don't ignore the dia more live these guys because you seeking out pro but me saying to us and his movement until one of them still won't and so now they are the bane prize so whether it's trump or just overall does. satisfaction resentment against what has long been considered to be core american values is growing up an art see new york i'm dropping out the program for this hour here on

when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict despond dennison the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying and there's just no way that hasn't been that we hear even many a victim's families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite you know we've been through this this isn't their way.
