10:02 pm

10:03 pm
italy and terrorists and i think that should give us engaging the military action pools the thought when russia and the assad regime say they want to counterterrorism they actually mean they want to bomb schools hospitals and homes lou. we are firmly under the impression that our western partners a stoking hysteria around it live and in any case are attempting to prevent the fall of the last major terrorist stronghold in syria and this is far more political than the stated humanitarian concerns for the protection of civilians now it has to be mentioned that according to the un special envoy to syria to fund a mistura the assad government does have access to chemical weapons just like does the predominant action in syria but when it comes to this northern province well the leaders of russia iran and turkey sat down here in tehran on friday right
10:04 pm
before the u.n. security council meeting and they discussed the focus on the situation there and what they mostly talked about is how to get rid of terrorists there while this area is so densely populated by the civilians because they agree that the syrian land should be cleared of terrorists but it just the conscious bomb. can't just blindly bomb them in the area because the front would use civilians as a human shield. everyone knows that there are a lot of civilians in there and we must take that into account the russian military and the syrian army have always tried to guarantee the evacuation of civilians right now the focus seems to have shifted completely to the chemical concern when it comes to according to the russian defense ministry by the end of saturday the militants will have completed their preparations so we can expect something to come out as soon as sunday. the pentagon has dismissed efforts by russia and its allies
10:05 pm
to settle the conflict in syria and insisted that the talks have failed u.s. military chiefs also claimed that they are better ways to go after terrorists in italy. security analyst or national really believes there is no evidence assad is planning a chemical attack in libya the major threat against civilians is the terrorists that are mr kim jong il the north korean supremely leader is key not to delay and to visit moscow as soon as time allows the two leaders have of course corresponded before if this visit does go ahead that will be the first time at least in recent history that a north korean leader will visit moscow for bilateral talks now on top of this we know north korea has been in touch with the u.s. south korea to see what the what is the state of play between those countries at the moment while very much changeable obviously went from the brink of conflict just about easter time to that summit in singapore with donald trump but she was very keen to advertise as something highly successful something very productive and
10:06 pm
now things have taken another step back toward some pretty hostile rhetoric the u.s. has accused north korea of cyber warfare of hacking and trying to stifle free speech in the west take a listen the north korean backed conspiracy attempted to crush freedom of speech in the u.s. and the u k. it robbed banks around the world you know we took the step to show. the largest picture showed was a good faith measure coming out of the singapore show. we have no plans at this time to spend any more. and those war games that mr matters was referring to there did very little to reassure north korea it seems they've accused america of quote hatching a criminal plot against pyongyang and gazing into talks while planning some sort of hostile action through those military games their forceful action through those
10:07 pm
military games there. nevertheless though there is some positivity out of all of this according to what's being co. is committed to denuclearization he's also set a concrete timetable to doing this he said he wants to do this before the end of mr trump's first time in office that's the first time a north korean leader has specifically set a deadline to do with nuclear reservation use also committed to the reuniting of the two north korea is now what we also heard from the russian delegation from a to b. and co is a quote that these sanctions the western sanctions on north korea are draconian that they lead to nowhere and negotiation diplomacy and communication is the way to go to resolve this ongoing crisis so we're very much looking forward to hear if and when that pretty historic visit will take place. searching gears now the head of germany's security service has played down reports of anti migrant mobs in the city of kenya despite chancellor merkel condemning of the restaurant is bitter and has more. right wing demonstrators were back out on the streets of ten minutes on
10:08 pm
friday evening around a thousand people gathered in the city they were holding up banners saying that we are the people also that they were not nazis that wasn't a repeat of the type of violence that we saw last week or even two weeks ago they seem to have gone off relatively peacefully but on friday there was another big development this is after the head of germany's internal intelligence service the beer file pointed to videos that have emerged around two weeks ago of the demonstrations that were said to show far right demonstrators hunting down chasing people that looked like foreigners and trying to attack them now he gave an interview to a major newspaper here in germany saying he doesn't think they're legitimate there was no reliable information that such hunts took place based on my cautious assessment there are good reasons to believe that this was intentional false information possibly to detract attention from the murder in candidates and i share
10:09 pm
the skepticism towards the media reports on rightwing extremist hunts in cannes it's always been a lot of calls for mr marson to clarify what he said or produce evidence for the reasons why he said it one of the the main reasons for this skepticism is the fact that chancellor angela merkel cited these videos herself in her condemnation of right wing violence in cabinets although there certainly are extremist right wing people among those crowds we've seen straight arm salutes the nazi salute of course in the in the past there but there are also those who are coming out to these demonstrations who are just saying they're not right wing extremists they're just concerned citizens. i think you know one of the other means because a lot of money. that is now. because that's all just going to obviously you don't want. the drugs and you don't have a clue. to such a decent model that even if your lungs are there to be taken on the effects of did
10:10 pm
all this my dear to do something. well amongst those talking about the demonstrations and in fact saying that he would take part in want under different circumstances was the always outspoken german interior minister horst they offer if i wasn't a minister i would have taken to the streets as a citizen but of course not with the radicals angela merkel has accused the far right of exploiting the killing of about thirty five year old man for their own aims however whether that's true or not alternative for germany the right wing party that has well being claimed to be anti islam anti immigrant in the past they have shot up to second place in polling here in germany seventeen percent of those polled said that they would vote for them in a general election that if there was a general election tomorrow would make them the second largest political body taking a seat in the pond a stark. a member of germany's left party believes all sides are to blame for the
10:11 pm
recent surge of nationalism in the country it seems to me very difficult and as a leftist myself and the son of an immigrant i have to say that it's also the fault of my party that we should have been guiding those people but instead it's the radical right that are doing the city and radical things and they are guided most people in the wrong direction but i think what we've seen after this is complete and accept chaos if one interior intelligence chiefs asked know all of this is just fake news you know i don't know the circumstances he should have been fired already and i don't know what to tell us about the state of the german government that angle a miraculous powers are not capable of firing him right now. a new political movement in ireland is pledging to take the country out of the e.u. that story and much more when we come back you're watching our two international.
10:12 pm
you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. do. what politicians do listen to them. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to due process this is like the three of them or. some people. interested always in the waters of. the ship.
10:13 pm
welcome back this is our to international writers in the greek city of festival and again have been voicing their fury over recent a deal struck by the government to end naming dispute with macedonia. i. back in june athens agreed to recognise that the name republic of northern
10:14 pm
macedonia and a decades long dispute but opponents say the name sounds too similar to the greek province of macedonia the greek parliament is due to vote on the agreement next year. switching gears a new irish political party has held its first conference in dublin its mission is to quit the e.u. . we are here today to launch a new party with new ideas for ireland that we can have a new. foreign domination no longer be beholden to the european union stop paying them a bucket load of money to make our laws to steal our fish out of our waters and in . two thousand and twelve sixty four bit. well me i wrecked it for freedom party wants a clean break from brussels the party plans to put forward candidates for the upcoming national and european elections bassett
10:15 pm
a former irish ambassador and one of the movement's backers says they still want good economic relations with europe though ireland left the european union i would like us to stay in the european economic area and i think the whole idea of moving around erasmus problems they're all very good but they shouldn't come with a political price that you have to sort of beef up your military that has to change a tax system that you know you have difficulty holding up the public utilities it's a political part of the european union which is scaring people off the government's as it should to do the bracks negotiation at the moment that's completely baffling it's quite clear that our interest is in getting the united kingdom a good deal because we are so dependent on some people in ireland who are i've still got a lingering anger phobia and they will be pipe prepared to be much more hardline even if it damaged our interests as long as the damage united kingdom i find that argument per. the party might struggle to win over the irish public the latest
10:16 pm
poll found that just eleven percent of voters want to leave the european union some people told us why quitting would be a bad idea. the benefits that i retired from being a member of the treaty is absolutely incredible i think it would be good for a country if we were to do so i would definitely be voting for that's what would benefit from the even though much of it was silly to have to sit down have a good look at the before you do anything out. joining. the. disaster. i don't think it's a good idea for injury the because we're kind of and i'm a nation on the western interests of europe so. i feel arlene's beneficial law from the you support for iraq's it is low but going forward because we will be the first party making an argument for ireland to leave the e.u. and take by its democratic party as we make the case the popularity of the cause will increase for sure the political media class on our land are almost to a modern woman completely. we. have freedom party will be
10:17 pm
like almost like rebels with a cause those fighting for freedom those going we will be the contrarian's. intellectual terms that is a good position to be an. all right former u.s. president barack obama has made an appearance at the university of illinois urging students to vote in the upcoming midterm elections in a speech he gave a stinging critique of donald trump's policies or to smear a con as commentary president obama has returned to the spotlight with a rousing speech almost universally applauded by mainstream media while attacking both republicans and democrats but mostly republicans he bragged a lot about himself and his keep minutes in office when you hear how great the economy is doing right now. let's just remember when this recovery started in fact a quick glance at an economic growth chart would suggest that these numbers were generally weaker under obama although admittedly a number like g.d.p.
10:18 pm
and never tells the whole story but what about foreign policy we help spread a commitment to certain values in france like the root of all in human rights and democracy obama supposed commitment to human rights involved turning two wars into seven expanding u.s. military operations from just afghanistan and iraq to syria libya yemen somalia and pakistan and that policy has only continued under trouble but surely obama handled things differently when it came to russia there undermining our alliances cozying up to russia what happened to the republican party. its central organizing principle in foreign policy. it was the fight against communism and now they're closing up to the former head of the k.g.b. we should point out that putin was never head of the k.g.b. and there was a time when obama mocked his opponent mitt romney for using outdated cold war
10:19 pm
language when you were asked what's your take. on the welcome to worlds apart of millions trapped in they've lived facing death this guardian has learned was to pick all of the western media coverage just before the leaders of russia turkey and iran got together to discuss the future of the
10:20 pm
last opposition held stronghold in syria did the meeting in tact eliminate the danger of an imminent bloodbath and was it ever on the cards to discuss that i'm now joined by alexi klebnikov middle east expert at the russian international affairs council alexey thank you very much for your time thank you for coming over thank you for inflation now i'm sure you watch the broadcast of the meeting beach was quite unusual in a sounds of allowing all of us a glimpse of how global leaders tangled with one another behind closed doors let's watch a clip of what happened at this meeting and then discuss it. and if we declare a cease fire this will be a victory for the summit and the most important step in the process will give peace of mind to civilians that it just gives you because they did it literally but we don't have representatives of the opposition at the table you have to learn i soon to be the president of turkey is right that would be good too but we can't speak for them especially for the terrorists on this trip will i still go to a bit of
10:21 pm
a friendly bickering on the part of president putin and president present aragon later refrain he's requesting to let's call on all the bad guys to lay down their arms to reach everybody eagerly agreed i wonder though how do you interpret that was that all theatrical in front of the t.v. cameras or was it a genuine effort on the part of president barry go on to get a little bit more out of this meeting well the first place if we hypothesize and thing that it was actually staged in reality it reflects existing disagreements between all parties i mean it's impossible to believe that all three russia turkey and iran have agreed on everything so far so of course it's not true so no actually and this episode tiny episode gives us some idea about like we'll disagreements between russian turkey on that one of our colleagues here in moscow suggested that
10:22 pm
this was a good call bad call protean played out by a putin an error though on two on one hand montagne the credibility of the opposition and on the other hand to bide our there on a little bit more time the question is why would turkey need more time in a bleep and is there any credible opposition left in that province because from the kremlin's perspective everybody who wanted to reconcile with either syria or russia have already done that in other provinces the only people left in italy the diehards. starting with the second point i mean depends on who you are and how we treat and how we define core the moderate opposition and what of. the moderation of the opposition it's about whether or not these people are ready to talk and from what i understand there have been several statements by leaders militant leaders on the ground than on three g. to negotiate they want to as as i said die hard i mean doing this are in conflict we are always in every stage and in every year we saw such groups and
10:23 pm
from moscow's perspective ninety five percent of those groups are not inclined to negotiate and to talk. to pursue a political process so. i think it would not matter for talk about the summit what matters here is russia turkish relations and their partnership in lip in the first place russia understands that for turkey it's one of the most important parts and it can't just push it and impose its own way to on on its partner well i would partially both agree and disagree with you because i do think their relationship.
