your vision starting the war seems to end the fund is up and these crowds in this line. of. protests are wrapped in the libyan capital tripoli over the state of living conditions and also amid seven years of war following the foreign intervention in the country. as the battle for it live blooms we speak to a serious based journalist about life or just kilometers away from us from. the village has been pummeled by missiles from terrorists in the outskirts of a hard a just a few kilometers away and it's been on a daily basis over the past many years. a top u.s. universities sparks outrage after creating

a safe space for wide students to discuss race issues we hear both sides of the debate. and in germany the rift in society over migration shows no sign of healing as yet more anti migrants and pro refugee rallies are held in cities the issue is now threatening to bring down merkel's coalition governments. a warm welcome in a very good morning to you wherever you are you're watching r.t. international with me. now crowds have gathered in the libyan capital tripoli calling for the president and other leading politicians to quit their protesting over courage disastrous situation in the country which still remains of a political crisis since protests sparked an armed struggle there seven years ago more over libya's still divided by two rival governments and armed groups one

government is located in talks in tripoli is down the line some european countries now expressed regret at their involvement in a nato led intervention in libya jacqueline vehicle reports in march of two thousand and eleven norway committed to the military intervention in libya leading to the ousting of gadhafi and the ruin country we see today but a shock norwegian state commission report now admits the country knew next to nothing about what they were doing and actually went to war relying on media reports norway had very limited knowledge of libya when the uprising started in february twenty eleven in such situations decision makers or information from media and other countries colonel gadhafi continues to slaughter his own civilians and he viciously targeted americans the international community offered the final chance to stop his campaign of killing or face the consequences for

attacks by regime forces on the libyan citizens when they turned to us and asked us for help stopping a massacre how do you say no so also jumped on the bandwagon playing an alarmingly significant role and why shouldn't they it was by the book there was even a un security council resolution on the situation to cover them if you ignore all the commentators warning the resolution did not green flag the mass bombing of libya norway's report also reveals there was particularly no one else this before jumped in. there are no written sources indicating that before deciding to send war planes to libya the government assist the type of conflict norway was taking part in that failure could hardly have had more serious consequences the country now lies in ruins seven years on libya is still being ripped apart by rival governments well wishers armed to the teeth and islamist militants just last week i

saw plain responsibility for a shooting that killed two and wounded ten more at the headquarters of the state oil company at the top of the slaughter there were were invited to come over the oil for the government by the way the world. perhaps and surprisingly some politicians in norway are now distancing themselves from the decision given what we know today this was a war for a regime change norway should not have participated in the libyan war when you look at what happened next with libya becoming a terrorism hotspot this is not a decision to be proud of of course they're not the first to come to that sorry conclusion the u.k. parliament got there two years ago this report determines the u.k. policy in libya before and since the intervention of march two thousand and eleven was founded on a road use assumptions and an incomplete understanding of the country and the

situation and barack obama infamously admitted the aftermath was the biggest mistake of his presidency but that's likely to bring little comfort to the civilian still reeling in a shattered nation. we spoke to a senior research at the norwegian foreign policy institute who believes politicians didn't understand the consequences of the intervention. arc this is for lisa and the coalition government aren't they but them that this is what has happened at all that he's part of it but they are expressing some cigarettes are so i am also they are saying that they just did didn't understand. what i would do you . may have. or they remained you doing good but even they did you know the statistics and the polls or the the sound that. they had out of them and they aren't you know that any of the intervention may not be. argued by

almost all the key. players in this. obviously there are some of them sold the on the humanitarian reasoning and the most basic you can just. see him saying get angry but i don't think that's in the seven year old money from both the stadiums. well let's turn to another war ridden country now syria and the region of lives the fate of the last major terrorist hug there was to be discussed by the presidents of russia and turkey later on monday in the russian city of sochi can of course live to our correspondent who's there for as we dana watching of what do you know what's expected out of today. well i can tell you one thing a lot is expected from the meeting between the presidents of russia and turkey it is actually very sack and a meeting in just ten days in ten days last time at

a summit in tehran their leader is couldn't agree on the future cause of action so today is a very important the fate of the elastomer major terrorist strongholds and we're talking about the province of is going to be a discussed at this meeting now we also believe that the two parties will of course on the syrian peace settlement the turkish president has been calling quite unsuccessfully for a cease fire declaration in the province of idlib so where do russia and turkey stand at the moment well turkey fear is that out large scale offensive against live will cause a new influx of refugees into its territory we show already is hosting over three and a half million syrians so turkish officials are saying that there are ready to cooperate with any party in fighting terrorism. you know to be to war with russia. you know

that it's a war with united states and france and you. all are all foreigners and. all the positions for old players at the moment are a very different and that's. what makes the situation so complicated now the u.s. say that they are not going anywhere until there is peace in the region they're also not very happy about iran's participation and now our western politicians as well as the mainstream media are calling the possible offensive on a disaster and a future a humanitarian tragedy without even offering any other solution apart from just bombing the sides army so while turkey has been massing troops in the region of. russia has been carrying out its own exercises.

so today is a meeting is just another to work out a joint position on the future a cause of action given across everything that happens in such a day medina cancian of i thank you for the update. and with the likelihood of the last syria looming all media attention has been on live once out of the spotlight all of a christie in tongues that live under constant terrorist selling independent journalist sound right to eva talk to a man who lost his entire family including three children and then. village which borders italy a province. what was that you. see.

kate. well earlier we spoke with eve about let's now based in damascus about syria if western t.v. screens fail to show the upcoming battle. there i talked to the civil that started the national defense forces and they spoke at length about how the village has been pummeled by missiles from terrorists and it's been on a daily basis over the past many years and they said you know they've been suffering

nobody is talking about it and they're looking forward to the liberation of because it will ease their suffering it will it will mean the sation of these terrorists. so these are the kind of things that the media which is busy talking about corporate media which is busy talking about it live are completely negating happening on a daily basis in one day. what syrians i've spoken with around the country on previous visits and currently say they want a restoration of all of syria to peace and they want an end to the terrorism that's been plaguing them. or as we saw formerly in eastern before that in aleppo and it's their right to live in peace and it's also their right and the syrian government of syria's right to fight such terrorism because we're not talking about the mythical moderate rebels we're talking about al qaeda we're talking about. and these are terrorists that have been torturing civilians and executing civilians wherever they happen to occupy. while the syrian and russian governments have been using

tools of diplomacy if you'll recall they've opened humanitarian corridors they've offered amnesty and reconciliation to terrorist who always lay down their weapons but on the contrary it's these factions within the lives that are saying we will kill any terrorist militants rebels that fake whatever they want to call them we will kill them if they participate in amnesty and reconciliation so clearly yes there is a desire for a peaceful so a resolution to this and the syrian russian government has been offering tools for such a peaceful resolution. the american university of maryland has issued fly is inviting white students only to join a group called whites awake to discuss race issues. do you want to improve your ability to relate to include people different from you. do you sometimes feel uncomfortable and confused before during more of their interactions with racial and

ethnic minorities do you want to become a better ally this group of was a safe space for white students to explore their experiences questions reactions and feelings a campus counseling center has now where many of the flyers insisting they were misunderstood it's also changed the group's name to anti racism an ally building group people are divided on the issue it's giving people a place to express their opinions on race and discuss important topics in a safer environment in general when people who are white discuss the topic it's seen as inherently racist why not to don't every identity group have their space and should not have a positive had gender and goal to be approved the way i interpret it is that white people are being victimized by interacting with us from my understanding it's simply a space for white students to get woke and learn to dismantle dangerous social preconceptions they might have these uncomfortable conversations but necessary for

social progress the only harm i see is that becoming a white affinity group and a lot of it was joined by political activist anthony rogers writer and social commentator anthony bryan logan to discuss the controversial initiative. i think that i'm not sure why white people would need to feel safe on a college campus person formalised i don't think that there are in any imminent danger and they certainly are in any more danger than say muslim students certainly students of color i think that as we heard from some of the students the poor execution you know the name of the group having to change from white to weight is an indication that they pretty much aren't very educated on the issues of racism in the first place people just saw a flyer and automatically get offended without taken a time to really understand what's going on that's why he changed his name because he didn't want anybody to just think automatically oh we're some kind of racist

hateful group and they're really on the side of the left i think this right here igs an example of the left eating their own people who are experiencing the oppression the most need to lead their way out of oppression it's about the liberation of all people who are seeking to liberate themselves from oppression whether that be white poor folk in adelaide share or the south personally i don't see anything wrong with have been a group that is one particular race or they has one particular race and it's i do you can so shape with a want to associate with you can have a white group black group asian group and all these other groups exist there's never any kind of problem nobody says anything about and i see no organization on campus the black organization on campus and age an organization on campus but we have a white organization all of that is a problem either we have many groups there are no specific groups or we allow all of them yeah so so two things i mean i think we have to be clear and stating that first of all people of color especially black people cannot be racist ok because

racism only if we change it is an racial prejudice there is no there's no debate as race racism is not something that you can just turn on the tone and on off color anybody could be racist that that's not true you have to have power to. the races you have to have power black people don't have power most let next people don't have power native american people don't have power now i won't deny that black and brown people can be bigoted but that is different from racism racism is racial prejudice i mean it's power issues that according to you say today you have to have power to be racist i mean when did i definition become the standard like i never seen it before is that exactly legalese i mean i think i don't think that like we can go by a dictionary that was written mainly by white people to force standard definition on an issue like racism as we saw in the scene not an exabyte least movie when you look at that dictionary and just look at the definitions of white and black you can

already see implicit bias and racial prejudice right right just in those two words alone. no woman in new york is charged with making up a story she was the victim of a hate crime by trump loyalists and got the details for you off the bike. you know world big partisan route logs and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart 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 for watching closely watching the hawks.

manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class does protect themselves. with the famous merry go round if that be the one percent. we can all middle of the room. welcome back nearly one thousand five hundred anti migrant protesters took to the streets of the german city of curtain over the weekend the demonstration comes a week after a twenty two year old local man died of a heart attack it's understood his death occurred shortly after

a street brawl with afghan migrants where sunday's rally was called by the anti migrant alternative for germany party as well as the anti islam a gated movement among the slogan seen at the protest was a call to draw borders the demonstrators also stressed that the main points although a rally was to pay respects to the slain victim there was also a reference to the events in another german city cabinets which is seen violent clashes in recent weeks. and the latest events and candidates have seen politicians on some my points organizations here's how to the country's head of intelligence that's often he

called into question the way the media has covered the violence in the city i share the skepticism about media reports of right wing extremist foreigners in kenya is based on my cautious assessment there are good reasons to believe that this was intentional false information possibly to detract attention from the murdering kendis. fastens comments could potentially see the current german coalition government collapse as the social democrats are calling on angela merkel to suck him or the chancellor appears reluctant to go this far meanwhile apart from anti migrant rallies there have been plenty of pro refugee with demonstrations across germany two one of the latest took place in cologne on sunday many in germany say they were worried by the apparent rise of the right.

class of infusion against england objects was coated at the restaurant and myself some hit the window panes others hit the entrance sign there were also things flying along the terrace one stone hit me on my right shoulder i was really terrified with my adrenalin running high i was stunned and wasn't able to understand much but still i managed to make out the words jewish pig and that i should get out of germany. like in the back of my mind i realized that i should take a few photos so that i wouldn't lie to myself later on how many people there were because at the time it seemed like it could have been three or a hundred people there i didn't want to exaggerate it looked like a mass of people forgot to take two photos and went back into the restaurant i told the customers they should stay clean sign that it was no fun outside the.

geopolitical analysts rayna rothfuss believes german politicians aren't doing themselves any favors by indiscriminately branding concerned citizens as mere nazis . definitely just a problem in germany which. quite considerably since twenty years. that german authorities should react and not start leaning toward populations for their own activity in handling the refugee crisis and its impact on the security situation the population is really divided and so. very very important to differentiate between a very few right wing extremists about all. of germany and a large part of the population which is just worried about the situation and to throw the development and the lack of adequate response was by our political

decision makers. authorities have arrested and charged a black woman in long island new york for making up a story about the trump related hate crime lewis told detectives that four teenagers confronted her as she was driving home yelling trump twenty sixteen before stating that she did not belong here and there was also claims after parking in front of her house she awoke the next morning to find her car's tires slashed and a note with the words go home however police found lewis fabricated the tale and even wrote the note herself lewis now awaits trial for making a false punishable written statement. well this is not the first such case of its kind in november twenty sixth in an eighteen year old muslim woman in louisiana told police she lied when she claimed trump supporters removed her head out and called her names political commentators dave believes the media is giving people

a reason to lie by pushing an image of trump as a racist. i think the woman is influenced by what she hears and sees in the media the media portrays donald trump is a racist homophobic xeno full of bigot nazi and i think that when you crave attention and you hear all these things naturally you're going to get attention and sympathy if you say oh oh you know this is true look what happened to me and by saying that for her trunk supporters surrounded her shoulder to get out and then slashed her tires the next morning she had her ten seconds or fifteen minutes or whatever you want to look at it you have attention it's a narrative driven by the media that this is going to happen to you if you're black and if you're a minority and if you're mexican if you're an immigrant or if you're gay this is you're going to be attacked that's what the media and the left is telling you and she just went with the flow. the largest military drills in russia for more

will not abide by the international criminal court those who suspect defacto support for al qaida are in syria from the usa along with u.k. may think there is reason for washington to fear international law but the usa is not alone in opposing the international criminal court six other countries oppose the very creation of the i.c.c. saddam hussein's iraq the u.s. u.k. backed israel then saudi backed yemen get off its libya. as well as china the fact that obama's usa would not join is perhaps no surprise given his use of drone assassination but what about india could it be something to do with the nuclear armed line of control and disputed kashmir. the sounds of pellet gun shots yelling and smoke from tear gas canisters filled the air in several towns in indian administered kashmir this week muslims are celebrating the eat or festival of sacrifice leaving many streets quiet. not here in sri lanka joining me now is the former president of britain's parliamentary group. lord ahmed boredom
