boy oh. the final terrorist stronghold in syria sees the u.s. and russia out all day over al-qaeda affiliates there on the anniversary of the nine eleven attacks. coexistence with maybe you want it to but i'm going to disappoint you i'm sure we will achieve results. now it looks like history might repeat itself but we can only hope for the best and look forward to a liberated terrorist free syria ok breaking developments at the u.n. security council thank you very much similar account in washington d.c. . russia's military also say's terrorists have started their final

preparations for a possible faults flying attack r t w hawkins join kevin on earlier in the studio to discuss the developments. about accusations and counter-accusations the russian m o d has been warning about this for quite some time today we've got news coming in from the russian reconciliation center in syria that things are actually on the move according to them camera crews are on site in the ad lib in the town of jews that should good of their filming this alleged incident a false flag operation according to the russians at least based on intelligence from residents from locals in the town itself they say this footage that they're filming will include what helmets treating alleged victims of a full stomach called weapons attack by the syrian government from barrel bombs from helicopters this put is will be sent to various news channels across the middle east and the u.s. as well within the next twenty four hours or by the end of today at least we have

requested a comment from the u.s. department of defense to see if they know anything about this if they can comment on this somehow we haven't heard back but the u.s. has previously denied all of this they've said this is just a distraction it is just propaganda and the threat of chemical weapons use by damascus is very real tensions on all sides these accusations flying around it does look like something is finally coming to a head there doesn't mean tensions have been rising and that the u.s. has made their position very clear multiple times they've said that chemical weapon use by damascus will trigger retaliation likely military retaliation strikes by the u.s. and its allies on syrian government forces they've also made clear that any chemical weapon use will be blamed it was printed really on the damascus government so that their position is very clear that's led to clashes between russian and u.s. officials previously things getting quite heated let's take a look just so there's no confusion here if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons

we will respond very strongly you would have known forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military in this is the full rate we urge the international community to sue poor dirt. and syria's use of chemical weapons and we remain resolved to act. uses chemical weapons again we would use the people who use militarily useless means to draw before three powerful countries upon themselves we have all seen what the syrian regime backed by the russian government has done in the past that should not be a surprise to anyone that that would be a concern of ours once again should we have the impression that u.s. threats against damascus aimed at preventing terrorist from being expelled there is not the first time the us no matter which administration has prioritised the task of changing dissident regimes above the common goals of eradicating terrorism and extremism. i think it's clear it's shocking that chemical weapons use is even being

predicted from any side here as we've said in the past but russia as we say has warned about such provocations what they describe publication as we all agree that the massacres has no weapons i mean even if they've been using that would be suicidal triggering a military intervention from the west potentially any such chemical weapons use or even threat to allegation of such chemical weapon use could be the scope of the spark triggering some very serious incident. well let's get some insight from a person who has a lot of experience on the ground here look or the founder of the n.-g. o. we are superheroes who has been indeed as i say living in syria's aleppo for over two years now i believe good to have you on the program clearly you witnessed a lot of military action i suppose terror attacks as well that in your time in syria tell us how does the country feel how does aleppo which which is in the embattled area not northern border area with turkey how is it coping now with

government forces closing in on the remaining terrorists in libya. today still hard because we still bombed on like a ferry person does he look at all the websites is the west side connected to it like for a good person to still bomb every day. initially the terrorists were inside that city and there i mean push them out but still the cities and then sort and we don't know really what can happen because now we we see what the americans are trying to do and it's like two years ago we got through to mouse on the country here we go we get one hundred missiles from france america u.k. and now we know that something big is going to happen we don't know what that something because going to happen so ineligible ever needs to pieces kind of coming back and people are trying to build their life and you need to believe that it's all over we know that something big is coming world leaders on players they're at odds over hollows is best to expel the terrorist from provinces do you think

a strategy can be fine that suits all parties to the conflict to finally put this to rest and finally get some sort of peace on the table. it's very hard to say when i can say is that most of the people in the world i've been calling and groups to have groups which are underground in their local as rebels. i should not say that but i have been saying it because i've been living like nearly three years in aleppo and the war has been terrible then i never seen anything else than that like . we were received so when i am hurt like it don't feel countries like my country france because anybody and so i have no political or military purpose here when i heard my country calling those people rebels and still today and if they have these groups rebel and last holding for the rebellion is not true demetri you have to people in these side will terrorists so i'm not sure today

these are any way to find the diplomatic situation because and you know as i know russians and. and syria have been trying to find a lot of compromise there were lots of amnesties and possibilities for you need to like drop their weapons and then most of the people actually who are in that lead. guitarist. to leave like arms their masters i label with their like. it was like kind of like a. concordance between the governments and the terrorists that we know lives in it but i don't think days a second chance i don't think days any possibility today except to find diplomatic solutions for sure but also need very sadly i don't imagine how it can be solved it's very hard to see from here yeah while expand you're really giving it a sort of vocative look at what you've been experiencing in our country you know p.r. it's always been thought that there's a common goal to remove any extremist threat particularly islamic states

fundamental islamists in that area why do you think there's been so much disagreement over it live on a appreciate you're not a political analyst you are the head of an ngo in the country of course. think it's easy because for me i believe that. also my country u.k. and all the countries i've been involved in the world today didn't want to see the war getting all over so i think what they're fighting for is not that all you need to save to see. to day to like a twenty thirty and a risk but to not lose the war so i think this is the main purpose this is the big problem because the moment will be over of course the syrian army will move under not under no it is the american army the french army and recently the italian army so i think that today must of the political speech not at all about they're about to maintain the war at all price and what may happen maybe that's terrific because

not only it will be based on lies but it will be terrible for all decisions today we just want to recite or not are trying to imagine that tomorrow will be over that we can stop it but the best people there are preaching that they are here to safety and this is not true when if you go back to stay safe and really appreciate you coming on the program to give us your direct firsthand experiences of life therapy or look or at finder of the ngo we are super heroes for. a suicide bombing has hit a protest in eastern afghanistan killing at least thirty two people authorities say dozens more were injured the demonstration there was calling for the resignation of a local police commander local journalists sarkari hassani brings us more details. today afternoon exactly just a few minutes after. as you said when we're actually in a group of sue williams who gathered in eastern province of afghanistan in one go

to protest against a local police commander. in action districts often anger which is. the taliban group and also isis group at this problem. hole is counted as one of the insecure problems of which this group. parentally in this province and mostly launching such trying to of attacks on civilian government civilian government in a situations more likely that this attack also. contacted by the isis group. into plastic also conduct such kind of attacks on civil gatherings in different parts of. a twin blast also hit the same province in afghanistan today reports say a child was killed four others injured

a word of warning you may find the following images disturbing this is apparently little boy injured in the attack no what we know is that the first bomb went off during morning rush hour. a girls' school student from a neighboring boy's school then gathered does the wood near the scene when a second explosion occurred witnesses say was that secondary attack that caused the casualties doubt is known as a double top operation no group has claimed responsibility but the taliban on this long next day have previously targeted the region all schools have been closed in jalalabad for the time being. right key leaders business executives from across the asia pacific region have gathered in russia's port city of lot of a stock for the eastern economic. i'm on one of the more interesting in france so far was a meeting i did a between love and we're putin chinese president xi jin paying this take

a look at what they were getting up to the two leaders visiting a far east themed exhibition giving their cooking skills no less a world with bring up some punk cakes together and then leaving them with what else we are on the meeting didn't pass without a lighthearted exchange over who pays. we're. going to lose you. with us here because we're going to know where the real you are just really want to get. to that exchange as putin and she have been holding closed door talks with one of the topics the coast the support of national currencies our correspondent in volleyball stock tells us what else was. the key messages for a lot of. paying a lot of world that there was great trust between beijing and moscow when it

comes to politics defense and security business to keep growing stronger and stronger and most important the beijing and moscow are looking to get off the dollar hole at least when it comes to bilateral trade amid mounting pressure from washington should the to succeed in ditching the dollar as their main currency of trade this could be a clear signal to other countries after all if moscow and beijing could pull it off why couldn't others for one of the rounds of talks the leaders of russia and china word joined by the wealthiest businessmen from the two countries and there was also a behind closed door session the russian ambassador before that session began had hinted that syria would be brought up anyway judging by what was said on tuesday there is every side that russia and china will continue to act as

a team players on an international and global scene. always a pleasure to introduce this gentleman onto the program. and host of artes the kaiser reported. live on r.t. international max hello to you next today in volleyball stock we sit in our figures on very well russian and chinese businesses this cited to further develop trade economic cooperation on that figure one hundred billion dollars what's the significance of the well for and they honor of pancake diplomacy i brought some waffles there you know to enjoy this spirit of bon ami between putin russia and china because obviously with trump and gates again trade wars with china and sanctions on russia he's forcing these two countries to get together to a nice stack of pancakes a nice beautiful breakfast of of entente of cooperation we've got one hundred

billion dollars worth of deals they're sharing military technology which i guess if you're in nato you've got to be curious about that they are exchanging information about high technology they want to do a big high tech park sharing chinese and russian expertise on this of course china as a huge expertise in cyber technology russia's got some military expertise they want to show china what they've been doing in syria in the ukraine and my god this is a fantastic partnership that trump has brought about so trump has increased the love in the world by bringing these two countries together they were kind of skeptical all the kind of looking eyeball to eyeball but now they're together and it looks like a very fruitful relationship going forward union of astronomical levels of funds though that we're talking about could closer relations with russia could help china

to overcome the effects that u.s. targets have on the chinese economy in essence max could russia take up at least some of the slack if trade with the u.s. drops off. yes it could. the point being that as was previously mentioned if russia and china can win themselves off the dollar because the us dollar is the world reserve currency and the us is very aggressive in defending the us dollar it tends to bomb anybody who tries to ignore the u.s. dollar but by putting china and russia together they've created an alliance that the us is not going to take on militarily that means that the us dollar is in grave jeopardy of losing its status as a world reserve currency we have more bilateral trade we have a more multipolar world we have different centers of currency concentration and power and this will be i think a net negative for the u.s. in terms of its current ability to govern much of the world economy but it may

force the u.s. to change some of its behavior when it comes to dealing with other countries around the world and scale back their militaristic. policies that particularly and with china you see where in places like africa unit. china has been going in with development dollars for years now and the u.s. is put in military bases so now they have us as lost africa in a lot of ways where china has gained a lot of friends in africa because they go in there with trade they go in there with infrastructure projects and of course they're building that huge new silk road across all of eurasia with russia and china so this is a totally new century we've got new multi-polar world the us that really has to start to tap dancing to a different tune if they want to participate or be left out just as you explain.

there seems to be more similarities between china and russia than the word differences between china and the u.s. do you see that relationship moscow and beijing you know this one hundred billion on the table is this going to be getting bigger progressing do you think or is this kind of a one huge big one off. i think that if it pulls it off and the u.s. dollar starts to crumble in a lot of ways that the u.s. dollar is benefiting by the chaos in the emerging markets in argentina venezuela south africa and there's a flight to the dollar as a safety a safe haven currency but once that is trend as peaked then you're going to look at the broader geopolitical picture in terms of the currency market if you see russia and china get together and they are able to issue the dollar or ignore the dollar that's going to signal to the world and in particular i think in in the wildcard in all this as i've said before is germany because germany is assumed to be a u.s. ally but if you listen to the rhetoric coming out of berlin it seems as though

germany is being kind of pushed into the russia china axis which is very interesting that means you've got russia china germany on one side of the geopolitical game board you've got the u.s. israel saudi arabia on another side and britain is left out now because of exiting the global commerce market they're going to disappear in a few years and that will set the stage for the twenty first century and i think that with china leading the way toward trying to build their way toward friendships versus the u.s. model of bombing you know the late great senator john mccain saying he's going to bomb bomb bomb bomb iran you know that seems to be the only thing comes out of american policy makers mouth is take our dollar or kill you that's their policy you know that can last forever and now these countries like china russia are saying you're going to apply sanctions to us for no fricken reason china's and you want to get into a trade war great we'll just align with these other countries like russia and with her into a bilateral world and by the way has said many times he loves absolutely adores

russian ice cream well not is certainly food for thought excuse the pun max keiser on wall fools on the show live in or to international thank you. but. that's where the barcelona separatists have been out in force this choose they in the spanish region people took to the streets to mark us alone is not a day almost a year on from the independence referendum on the council on parliament's a unilateral declaration of independence according to some estimates almost a million catholics attended the celebration the decision back in october twenty seventh game propel the country into a constitutional crisis was that third illegal.

those in charge. of the protagonist in this challenge to the existence of them to cease illegal activity they should apparently. need. applying to one five five because no government a tool in a democratic country can accept that the law will be ignored or violated changed

this has all happened under folks criteria and they impose their criteria on everybody else. yeah lots to discuss on this one as well i'm happy to state doctor one hundred spanish story at the u.k.'s university of newcastle is. live to help us side on that welcome according to estimates hundred nearly a million people attended the rally quite extraordinary photos twice as many than expected i believe will this leave the showing in favor of independence will it actually lead to any changes to the current situation though in catalonia well most massive demonstrations have been a trance the last seven years so. i wouldn't say so and the real question of course is where the. nation is going to have an impact on the next nation's anish and the argument. for a recount which. through. the mountain independence in this

year is. really is the politicians of the return of the exiles yet just all not the catalan leaders says that the focus must be on freeing those high profile separatists who as you say are awaiting trial for their part in the bid by the region to break away from spain last year what will the release if of course it happens and that's a big if mean for the independence effort well that huge boost is beginning chris because both sanish and the government are disappointed with situations manage government who can not just tell the turks is to release the prisoners in democratic country the mission powers the government and not just tell people how to how to act and then the current government. doesn't have the power to release those prisoners so that we are now in a bit of her stalemate activity and difficult tension i know i'm asking you to gaze

into your crystal ball but if cuts alone if it does separate from spain it's a very economically prosperous part of the country what would it mean for the region and the rest of the country. well that's very different to how to. forecast. one of the ridges regions this is the mention in france or italy in part of the road to britain regions was at the. movement of that lack of sleep parity but it would be a disaster probably for spain then from now on is the books tell and probably a component of this initially outside of in union would be it's were very tough for us to mention so forecasting is always the pick open for attack from both countries and i suppose that suits what i'm aging out is that what would how could they

survive do you think as an independent state council ot at the current state of the e.u. making friends of course in that area and spain of course not being their friend it's what kind of situation arises there. are. cliques and that don't think that the moment the prime dependence our movement is thinking about becoming lonia outside the european union. who are very different this. response by the european union a lot of support by the european union but i think this is still hoping. that their european union so now. the out of the european union a scenario is not something that you are thinking about could as as we mentioned the priority is to change the main priority at this point. through least politicians in general yeah that seems to be very much the focus does that we'll

wait and see what occurs without one dr alan hundred cure oga spanish historian at the university of newcastle in the u.k. thanks as always. thank you. ok too russia's far east now i finally were running three hundred thousand soldiers and thirty six thousand military vehicles are currently rumbling through the largest military drill seen there in decades. as always you can get more news on views on our web sites pretty impossible to be bored there are t. programs start in just a moment here. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. period dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist.
