you want to be president. or somehow want us. to go right for the survival before reasonable people. interested always in the water. they should. subscribe to rub people up for just twelve euros fifty a month. donald trump takes credit for defeating islamic state terrorists in syria and is now considering a total troop withdrawal from that also had to. cut back on the budget i know i. know. if

i see exchange the british parliament is trees of many faces all round the still a contingency plans for a no deal. house with two weeks of tackling violent yellow vests demonstrations french police launched their own protest over working conditions and unpaid overtime at the same time so the media blaming russia for the yellow vest the rest looking out for those suspected of infiltrating from the. you empowering people to protest known that. up when you put it to. you. live from the international world through central moscow it's nine pm here now my name is kevin i will call on this wednesday night thirty minute news update then

first the u.s. president's announced the defeat of islamic state in syria donald trump took to twitter giving the u.s. i'm self much of the credit for the victory over the terrorists. we have defeated isis in syria my only reason for being there during the trump presidency we now have official confirmation that u.s. troops will be leaving syria now president trump's tweet contradicts everything that we've been hearing from the state department and the pentagon over the last several months here's what the head of the coalition to defeat isis said just over a week ago we want to see a resolution to the syrian civil war through the u.n. security council resolution process and we also want to see the removal of foreign forces from syria particularly the iranian commander proxy forces from syria his various americas will remain on the grounds of them for the physical to be to the caliphate until we have the pieces in place to ensure that the defeat is and are now there are at least two thousand u.s. troops in syria and removing them would be fulfillment of one of president trump's

campaign promises now vice president mike pence and the secretary of defense jim mattis are meeting right now in the pentagon white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders released a statement saying the process of returning troops back to the u.s. has actually already begun and the statement also says that this doesn't signal the end of the global coalition to defeat isis or its campaign to isis has been defeated in the sense it holds no territory perhaps president trump is overstating the the u.s. role in that effort isis was largely defeated by the syrian and russian militaries along with the lebanese group hezbollah and the timing here is very curious turkey is threatening an offensive on u.s. backed kurdish forces in northern syria and president ever to one has demanded that the u.s. backed forces withdraw and said that the operation to attack them could start any

moment so turkey is unlikely to attack u.s. forces and this could very much factor into president trump's decision to remove american forces. done cohen in washington d.c. for a sailor was joined here by igor's dunn offer a broader look back over the u.s. campaign in syria. president. pretty much bull unusual for the credit for all this for looks of it for defeating isis although it was only really the you know these camilla relapser end of all this isn't it well yeah it's not the first time that the donald trump announces the withdrawal of troops from syria but last time that happened he backtracked pretty quickly you turning and staying in syria for another year or so well now yes indeed and he is taking the credit for it and just to give him the credit that he deserves in really the united states did do a lot to defeat eisel in syria i mean that can can't really be taken from them they pretty much liberated all of the eastern and northern much of the northern syrian

regions of course not their soldiers not their troops but their proxy sort of army as the kurds i mean the self-proclaimed capital of the caliphate rucka was liberated by the united states and their allies although all that does come with a big big excuse the phrase is so the thing is the means to the because they did kick eisel out with the their favorite tool with their favorite approach and that is blunt stupid force so that's what they used on rocket for example the blitter rated the city with bombings once a flourishing prosperous city now it still lies in ruins i mean we've heard a very very big outcry coming from human rights groups for instance who have been accusing the united states of indiscriminate bombing and even using a term as an annihilation war and saying that this should be considered a war crime with the united states

a bombing there just to give you the scale of how bad it is bodies are still being found in rock or complain and did in twenty seventeen. it was still a thirty year we were forced to leave our homes because weisel when we returned we found everything which used to rubble look at all the devastation rock is a ghost city. we're living in the midst of destruction we feel completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. or so horrible this is due to the rubble we have to be to remove the debris with all money there's no running water so we have to buy it in. the u.s. coalition because the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water

supply in clearing the rubble. i found a man on the streets near my house my friend and i tried to detonate it from a distance but it didn't go off we thought the mine didn't work and walked towards it it exploded my friend was killed five. so the white house and confirming u.s. troops as they put it but we heard they were true put it well is is along the way but either which way started to come out is it all happened once what's the plan here what's been said about a timeline for all this well this is this is a very good question i should say because yes indeed right now we're hearing that some of the troops are being withdrawn already but i mean the united states they do kind of send troops in and out of syria regularly this is called military rotation

this is this is a thing so they send out a number of troops and send back in another group roughly the same size or so this is what's been happening in iraq for example in the years that that came after the official and of the military campaign there and this is sort of the question that stan. right now with syria whether or not how will they be withdrawing troops what scale will this with drool take will it be all of the troops or will this be again an iraq war in afghanistan sort of a situation so we have no details on this and i mean a lot of that stems from the fact that the united states. have been changing the rules of this game as game was and go in when it comes to why the in syria in the first place because it certainly wasn't an official invitation from the u.n. recognized leader bashar assad and to the country saying they want to fight terrorists i saw so now they've defeated unlike the had already

introduced a new reasons a new pretext as why the should stay for example come combating and kind of countering iranian influence in syria where did that come from so now they say that their priorities have shifted again getting assad out is not the only priority we know that it is not going to be there is not any sort of option or a political solution is going to happen with assad at the head of the regime we're not asking for regime change we're not asking for the russians to leave we're asking for is a compromise settlement there's a strong. readiness on the part of western nations not to ante up money for that disaster unless we have some kind of idea that the government is ready to compromise a notion are created yet another horror in the years ahead one thing that is obvious is that the united states there are still unhappy with the bashar assad being at the helm of syria so the are bound to keep some influence so they will in

a way looks like they will remain there in syria just to what extent still to be seen they still is not the biggest problem that the series facing in terms of terrorism there i mean it's a. province of little of this is the most festering wound of the pleasure of seeing . so to speak so i still know i still doesn't really hold it barely holds any territory holds a patch of desert on the government controlled side and so there was nothing much going on there in the small patch of land on the kurds controlled side and that is the u.s. zone of responsibility and so in terms of how they've been fighting i saw in the course of these years well one of the most tourists tactics was arming and training the so-called moderate rebels with the assumption that they will fight i saw and other journalists and here's how that turned out can you tell us what the total number of trained fighters remains. it's

a small number. the ones that are in the fight. is we're talking four or five of the officers there he did not mix up the decimals or whatever it's literally out of thousands of fighters that they had trained they were left with four or five of them so and also again about bombing the they've never really had again they've never really had a combat force on the ground they never really sent boots on the ground to syria at least not the ones that they had admitted to but they did have military advisors with the rule of training the proxy force the proxy boots on the ground these are the main means of fighting i saw. we're following this next tonight just one hundred days and counting left before the u.k. parts way with the trees amaze governments ramping up a no deal bricks instead of preparations now than it is the prime minister's divorce plan continues to fly and

a big face serious opposition there is due to have a final vote on the deal image on iraq by the fourteenth they say may be making case in parliament again wednesday triggering a heated exchange with opposition leader jeremy called it. until the deal has a date has been massively. right it is the responsible position of government and it is it would be the responsible position of any government to put in place contingency arrangements for no deal no deal would redesign aster for our country and no responsible government would ever allow each yes i know it's christmas i know it's not to be stocking down the chimney under the christmas tree things still hasn't found. the prime minister who is supposed to be undertaking a negotiation was the prime minister the trial to bring an acceptable deal but why didn't the prime minister stop the pretense and stop wasting four billion pounds in a cynical attempt to drive you could be damaging deal through their house you know

who is a right honorable gentleman doesn't want to see money being spent on no deal he's governed easy also but this is a way to get. the stakes are getting higher and higher in the debate is getting harder and harder and is in fact one hundred days to go before bret's it turns from being this vague concept that everybody in the u.k. seems to be arguing about into something very real and it's been now two years of attempted negotiations and it is absolutely clear at this point that some of the situation is more uncertain than ever and certainly passions are flying high on advice to the right honorable judge about the in the. area that ought to go. get it appears that the opposition party leader jeremy corbyn apparently had called the british

prime minister a stupid woman during prime minister's question time today i referred to those who i believe are seeking to turn the debate about the national crisis facing our country into a pantomime as stupid people. this is speaker i did not use the words stupid woman about the prime minister or anyone else and i am completely opposed to the use of sexist or results of his language in absolutely any form at all so what we can know certainly leave this lip reading to the experts in terms of who said what the key is that once again attention has shifted from the substance of bracks it to now this scandal and alleged namecalling making up the headlines moving forward for at least for today and while it's clear that the problem has gone nowhere and specifically the european commission this

wednesday has officially started preparing for a new deal bracks said contingency action plan so things are getting quite real the debate as hot but where all of this is going to lead remains a massive question more and more thoughts about what's going to happen if there's no deal depends the listen to more than three thousand troops we put on standby as part of the no deal contingency plan other measures include securing medical and food supplies over the coming weeks families and businesses will also be receiving official guidance on how to better prepare knows it depends who you listen to here could be awful could be ok independent british m.e.p. john is that concerned believes that fears over a chaotic exit from the e.u. could well be misplaced. they're actually playing out a no deal scenario electors going out to households and businesses in this project fear with nuclear nuclear warheads on at the moment so they're ramping up the fear of this. by brussels is an option that's on the table and under government

legislation if we don't have a deal in the next few weeks that we just leave under world trade organization rules and there is no problem without the problem is in westminster is that we have too many m.e. and pace and any pay standing behind cameras going on radio just just all here amongst themselves not listening to what the voters want we've got to remain prime minister that are in main opposition and we've got remain m.p.'s in the house of westminster when they was they were given a clear mandate by the people to leave and we knew exactly what we were voting for and that is leaving without a deal if that comes down to it but i mean brussels now broadcasting two years they they really don't get its and understand the brussels brinkmanship that takes place here of course it goes to the wire and we should hold their feet to the wire as well oh we've got one hundred days to work this out because this lot will cave in because they need us more than we need them that's our concern m.e.p.

coming up after weeks of protests in france police officers join the campaign bandwagon now for them it's about unpaid overtime and dangerous working conditions where there's sort of the story from workers going to go to stories when we come back. when your mate manufacture consent to public wealth. when the room in clusters protect themselves. when the crime and merry go round lives only one person so. it's nice to

ignore middle of the room signals. from the real news is really. what is the pin that's going to pop the global bubble back in two thousand and eight it was a two thousand a subprime crisis. today i think we can safely say that the bubble will be popped but the collapse of deutsche bank. international tonight's was great if you company so next before the break with weeks of protests till simmering in france disgruntled police officers have started their own protest against unpaid overtime what they say working in dangerous conditions is in at least one terminal in the french capital's main airport now

officers have been causing long lines of possible control by staging a slow protest reporting from paris our correspondent in that part of the world charla dubin ski well it seems is out with the yellow vests in the blue vests this police are now trying to squeeze concessions out of the government they're unhappy with what they see is deteriorating conditions the amount of overtime they've done some twenty three million hours and that includes because some of the work that we've been doing over the last five weeks with the best test is and of course increased security that we're seeing around christmas markets and. sites across france in the wake of that strasburg attack and they say it's simply not enough the unions describing the situation for police in france as being the city. they're not getting always was to office or even considering the social and professional obligations of our colleagues when they are not in uniform they become

yellow vests because we are middle class or even lower because of our salaries our origin that's why some colleagues feel that they are yellow vests because of the yellow fasts really resonates with police well those mean cry from some of the police unions who've been in discussions with the interior ministers since tuesday there's discussions are ongoing but already the government is offering some concessions being put on the table trying quell this is the last thing they want is for the police to continue a strike which has been. described as many as act one giving the suggestion that they prepared to go a little bit further as a yellow vest and being going over the last few weeks the concession on the table so for is a three hundred. to be paid to the officers who've been involved in the deployment of the yellow vest protests but the union say it's just not enough and actually what they want is for those twenty three million hours of overtime being paid

a huge bill according to the interior minister. the state currently goes almost two hundred seventy five million euros to its police officers for overtime not in recent months or years but for decades we cannot have debt at that level they're also unhappy the unions about what they see is being moved enough in the port that the police budget which is due to be discussed as part of the two thousand and nine hundred budget in the national assembly on that day they say it's not enough money to pay for the overtime and it's not enough money to improve the conditions nor is it enough to recruit the extra staff that they need to deal with the continuing protests those talks ongoing between the unions and the interior minister but it seems that already this slowdown of the police this new blue vest protest here in france is already having some impact. here the original widespread yellow verse

demonstrations called calls for levees to be dropped and political reform to occur first did happen but some would be looking away from the government for the source of the discord and the rush to link the move here moscow charlotte early went on the first suspects in paris. i don't think i've definitely found one. yes. i you in paris make people protest. long you know. when your chest. your chest. the russians are they behind the yellow vest protest. the party has the news in your mouth. the mainstream media say

that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturday immediately issued a. very. full display suspiciously could be said of russian activity in france. france or do you mean you not here it is so discordant to protesting this thing france into chaos. here. is a story what's your favorite color. are you sure it's not yellow. do . you see. most of the polish. next to you in italy of agreed

a truce to end months of a bitter row over the country's much disputed budget for next year extensive reforms and tax breaks planned by skeptic government would have put it on course to break euro zone fiscal rules that drew the threat of sanctions from brussels even though several other countries are also in the red too currently all nineteen countries would use the euro must observe a deficit ceiling of three percent of g.d.p. spain a belgium portugal and slovenia though are among the nations who've had a telling off for breaching the rules but it's from. big spending plans for next year that's got italian politicians riled paris is projecting a three point two percent deficit for twenty nineteen or rome was threatened with sanctions of course the signal fronts won't be punished anyway it's that perceived discrepancy that the scene italian leaders try to force through their own budget since day one. this is the first to tally and budget the e.u.

doesn't like no surprise this is the first italian budget written in rome and not in brussels the economy. the italian economy is healthy and this is an economic move that will give italy distributing needs we won't change one comma in this document there is a plan b. you know to go into the we are not going boards that are both going on. working for the future. and italian m.e.p. from the five star movement we spoke to believes rome has been singled out by the e.u. despite neighboring france also break ins were saying just now the same deficit rules we have our european commission that was appointed for the and now with this where all the nineteen percent anymore political situation there was you report you saving up for the broad stewarts. france this b.

. c. the ball and what i mean we have nothing against france and then we talk that french and or some expansion remains of sin order to about bit the leaving for the french people we are all u.b.s. but we cannot state you start your approach to all the main town so you. finally a story that made the rounds a while back more to a former security minister from the caucasus country of georgia has repeated his widely refuted claim that a u.s. funded lab there may have conducted illegal experiments own citizens. you know i have documents that cover the period from october twenty fifth november twenty sixth we counted out one hundred ninety one people have died during this period from side effects the reasons for twenty deaths are still not known so there is a question why didn't anyone define the cause of death was expertise given if not white the richard lugar center for public health research as part of

a cooperation program between georgia and the u.s. to try and tackle hepatitis c. infections now the former georgian security minister firstly accuse that facility of illegal experiments three months ago an international expert delegation visited the research center found no violations lab chiefs also insist that their facility is solely a diagnostic center and so has nothing to do with the treatment of patients we asked for further reaction over the renewed claims we'll let you know if we hear anything back. well that's it so far for this newsgroup as well as in our service was for watching international calls for bottom line dot com all our stories that all the headlines as they happen to get are up because straight to mobile devices well for now it's kevin zero in saying very good evening.

dimension. six thirty five and you have a career and a career involves using your eyes filling your computer and things like that in an office and perhaps you sort of getting to nix circulars you could have to stop doing all this i mean this is how you lou the minutes must be for. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it and the box. around it a very strong magnetic field held in my head. think of it like a real heart shirt my skin burned and that wireless access point. just continues on saying with our students in the schools. we are just continually baiting our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse.

yet so all this is all the good.
