the u.s. says the fight against eisel is far from over terrorists and their families leaving the last stronghold in syria valor never to be defeated. let cyber attack on a british institute that seeks to counter russian descent from mation is now being investigated by the u. case crime agency despite having no forensic evidence the head of the institute already insists russian intelligence is to blame. the. fact our assessment that it is because we are in the group. you are you.

literally can make its own decisions china tells the u.s. the white house slams rome's plans to become the first g seven member to join beijing's massive growth global infrastructure initiative. midnight here in moscow this is r.t. international. hundreds of fighters are surrendering to the us bank forces in the syrian village of the last i saw held area near the iraqi border in addition to the jihadists who surrendered there also women and children at the scene and some of them are wives of fighters praising the islamic state with different slogans they also showed the soles of their shoes as it instills and they still believe this is not the end of the caliphate.

the village of bogeys has been a focal point for the syria democratic forces for several weeks despite i don't own repeatedly declaring victory over i so the top u.s. general says that the fight is far from over but he said if it. have a look at but who's right there near the border with iraq we didn't really hear about it in the course of syria's civil war misery now's the time it is really being called the last remaining eyelet of territory in syria about to be stormed by u.s. backed kurdish troops we expect a fierce battle later at the end of the civilian evacuation given the will remain in bank who's of the ones brimming with the ideology and the ones who is not an option indeed we've seen crowds of escaping civilians and even jihad as

who did choose to surrender the current say they want to make sure all innocent people make it out of the goos before the guns go off but the main still be trapped in there either not able or not keen to escape just a short while ago though donald trump was bragging about his army and allies crushing islamic state completely we just took over you know you kept hearing it was ninety percent ninety two percent the caliphate in syria now it's one hundred percent we just took over ever since then however we've kept hearing absolutely different takes from those who are actually responsible for what's happening on the ground the head of u.s. central command is sure eisel hasn't surrendered he's confident it's not been defeated instead the terrorists after some tactical thinking have chosen to lay low and wait for the right time to make

a comeback reduction of the physical caliphate is a monumental military accomplishment but the fight against isis and violent extremism is far from over we have won against isis now we've won and at least for now president trumps proud announcement that the american soldiers were pulling out makes less and less sense the. pullout would have definitely scored mr trump some valuable political points but nothing seems to be certain here especially with this but google's thorn in the side you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of ice and see a resurgence you know are winning out we'll come back if we have to anyway whatever happens next depends on what ignites and this small but vital strip of land known as booze. so sure landis a professor of middle east studies believes that the fight against islamic state is likely to suffer further setbacks well as general votel testified in congress

recently and just today he said that. yes this is the end of the territorial state which is very important but it is not by any means the end devices there are a lot of fighters that have gone to ground and that have formed we believe that farms sleeper cells which are going to activate in the you know edge at some future date from the later clarify that this is the territorial state and that's why he's reversed his opinion on u.s. troops remaining in syria you know there's a there's a hundred ways to count troops and that may not include a lot of the regular soldiers perhaps national forces you see advisers diplomats and an aid organization so there's likely to be a lot more americans there there's going to still be a lot of isis trouble and we're seeing bomb attacks being carried out in iraq on a weekly basis and there have been isis attacks in northern syria as well so i says

is far from over and. whatever claims about this the president is making are misleading. this is cyber attack on a british institute the sixth account a russian disinflation is now being investigated by the u.k.'s national crime agency the suspect is russia's intelligence agency the g.r.u. he's on the situation it has more of a story here in the u.k. the now infamous highly likely formula pops back into the spotlight as reports circulate citing white a whole sources claiming that russia's military intelligence service the g.r.u. had been according to them the one to hack and up until recently not very well known british beast institute for state craft now we understand that now that's been announced that the national crime agency here in the case carrying out an investigation into the cyber attack of this think tank and at the same time we're

hearing that a former senior ministry of defense of all servant who is also a co-founder of this institute for statecraft is already claiming that it could only have been russia despite a lack of proof so far the only thing which makes sense to. our assessment that it is up could we go in for and prove this is the g.r.u. this so institute for statecraft and its program the integrity initiative that has been in the headlines for the last couple of months on and off is a program that aims to tackle what's called russian descent for me ssion they try to expose feek news all of this is done to the tune of over two point two million pounds provided by the british government and this institute and its files had been taken and posted on a third party website first time back in november so this is how all of this

unraveled and the g.r.u. is now brought into all of this and of course if you remember the g.r.u. is familiar with this sort of high. really likely accusations ever since the solsbury scandal the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible our quarrel is with putin's kremlin and we think it overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless and despicable act the russian president's spokesperson committed discourse has commented on these latest developments he said that the russian state is not involved in any cyber attacks and in fact that russia had offered international cooperation with when it comes to issues of cyber security however to no avail but in this particular case let's see what happens of course this investigation is going on so let's see if they do end up or providing some proof in the end to all of these accusations. china has defended its growing partnership

with italy following criticism from the united states and sort of the white house urged not to join beijing's belton road infrastructure project we view bilton road initiative as a made by china for china and initiative we're skeptical the italian government's indorsement will bring any sustained economic benefits to the italian people and it may end up harming italy's global reputation in the long run this position taken by the u.s. side is lawful as a major country italy knows exactly what policies serve its own interests and it can make its decisions independently rather than reports that italy will sign up to the initiative when chinese president president xi jinping visit to the end of the month at least coalition government has been talking up the benefits one way for us to increase trade values is to first increase investment this is done by these memorandums one belt one road it is a very fertile area for investment. china's belt and road initiative is

a huge global trade infrastructure project proposed five years ago it would link china to europe asia and africa with roads and railways and ports through both land unsavory it's but italy's g seven colleagues have security concerns and questions china's motives with the u.s. most vocally against the head of the human sciences department at least in super university the spell obana dini believes that italy has all the reasons to make the deal. last not. to act in this pattern as in the frankly. i mean not russian would even be. telling us what we have to do this kind of partner and i. know we know what. we're hearing. from them about.

the. acting for the poor the benefit also for the benefit of the. area they think will be a great the. point that you. know i was in the middle there were in. the bottom of the boat but. we have to remind the. six sections of all who are them our way or by way of. sea and they are always in the hole or you will be a new link in the same great continent all the way and i don't see any damage. on the sponsor and. the democratic party in the united states has refused to allow the conservative fox news channel any of its debates during the twenty twenty presidential election cycle donald trump threatened to do the same with pro

democratic channels though he didn't specify which ones. recent reporting in the new yorker on the inappropriate relationship between present from his administration and fox news has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates therefore fox news will not serve as a media partner for the twenty twenty democratic primary debates democrats just block fox news from holding a debate good that i think will do the same thing with the fake news networks and the radical left democrats in the general election debates. well in announcing their decision to boycott folks the democrats cited a report in the new yorker magazine describing the close relationship between the channel and the trump administration and says the network has turned its attempts propaganda machine. the article points out the various fox news pundits are now working in the trumpet ministration include former folks who president bill shine

who is now the white house communications director he also claims citing sources that trump was given advance notice of a primary debate question with the help of a former chief executive of fox news george ailes although the leak of a debate question on the other side of the political spectrum in twenty sixteen was actually confirmed from a c.n.n. commentator donna brazil admitted that she used the position to give a heads up to hillary clinton on questions at the c.n.n. hosted debate in twenty six think she was working as a party chairwoman at that time political commentators to seize the democrats' response as being hypocritical. you know how many members of the obama administration are now staffing positions at c n n n m s n b c n n b c and c.b.s. and a.b.c. the whole thing is just of seen and ridiculous in the tank they are the opposition to donald trump they're not fair and balanced this is just more dementia if you will or trump the arrangement syndrome whatever you want to call it they hate trump

so much so you know we're going to take it from fox news fox news is the epitome and the body image of all that's evil in the world i think one way or another see it motivates their base and they were just looking for some excuse to pull off of fox and they came up with an excuse. it's been exciting couple of days in football champions league title holders well madrid crashed out on tuesday wednesday so porto and a much improved man united go through to the quarter finals and interesting that all three of those teams have one thing in common and that is that they were all once managed by josie marino is back on r.t. with a new show it's called on the touchline and you can watch the full version coming up next hour just for now to whet your appetite is a taste. they were not afraid to to play at the bell the go the short great. attitude in all that put the needle in the war when things go wrong.

everybody calls in the direction of the guilty man there's a. much lesser and i think results are phenomenal results eventis man city barcelona and buy in to take that last although to call of it i would go with that that the call before them just lost the job's a and everybody speculates about where you're going next can you give us any hints no way home. i hope to be working in the in the summer i promise if one day that is unsing to say i reload and. fans of michael jackson have protested outside a u.k. t.v. channel over his documentary that alleged child abuse. was.

i. leaving in neverland features interviews with two men who claim that they were molested by jackson his children since the movie premiered in january a global reaction has followed with radio stations in canada or new zealand dropping jackson's music. secrets will. you feel so alone. i want to be able to speak the truth. as loud as i had to speak a lie for so long leaving neverland is a joint production between channel four and h.b.o. both alleged victims featured in the movie wade robson and james saved took four years denied that they had been abused they were called as witnesses for the defense of jackson's trial in two thousand and five when he was accused of molesting a thirteen year old boy. the film itself has been condemned by the jackson estate which earlier issued a statement saying the accusers have testified under oath that none of the allegations are true august debated whether an artist's work can be evaluated

separately from the person. this is still pending and investigation and also the whole outrage is happening because of a documentary that is obviously one sided because we only have the version of the victims i really have a huge issue with access to arts and to things that have been created in the past by somebody like i like i said who is dead and who cannot do anything about this at the moment if radio stations want to ban the music i think if listeners of those particular radio stations are calling up and saying you know what this is criminal behavior that r. kelly and michael jackson have actually engaged in. and we're not ok with that i think that's perfectly fine it's a scary area if we all judge him for ourselves with very limited facts with facts that we don't really quiet cross-examine with actual evidence or other than you know interviews and documentaries that. those are just humanitarians show

a lot of evidence. while it's an evidence that it's not been again cross-examined in the court of law it's irrefutable we should not be talking about michael jackson's music michael jackson's music was created through decades of also a lot of suffering but actually i think maybe the real lesson in all of this is that you know every time michael jackson song comes on i know for myself i'm going to think differently about it i mean i'm not going to say i'm never going to dance to a michael jackson song again because you know maybe it'll play at a wedding or vomits but i might start dancing but at the same token i said i am never going to think about michael jackson and the way i used to and maybe that's the real lesson so let me ask you this when you look at a picasso painting or you read a hemingway book or or you've been looking to start to that was created during the renaissance period where like you know the catholic church was you know torturing

and killing people in the name of god are we not able to separate the our that was created. the best moments of these artists from the actual person who was a human being you know the fly made mistakes and some of them admitted those fair good argument but i think also i think we're entering. a new era where i think people that engage in criminal behavior and sexual abuse shouldn't be rewarded in this society and i don't think there's anything wrong with that and if their music doesn't get played so be it. the pentagon has announced it is revising its arctic strategy in light of a perceived threat from russia and china is my guess the picks apart the jew political rivalry around the north pole. the arctic what comes to mind when you hear that word sea fish ice it's always russia isn't it russia because that is one that follows most closely to their to their borders

they've begun to move on periodic times to the different weapons systems of control of the area but dated our plans as a response as a result of that we've had to change the posture of some of our forces so that we in fact deter and we send a signal of the importance of the arctic to us but there is a new gold rush brewing thanks to global warming it is opening the arctic up around fifteen percent of the world's undiscovered oil thirty percent of natural gas may be there perhaps more important though is the northern sea route by two thousand and forty there should be soon little ice that ships will be able to pass year round terrible for the environment rate for shipping it would have the journey time for ships travelling from east asia to europe a journey that usually takes them through the suez canal it would save billions

upon billions for consumers companies governments ergo the gold rush contenders have been quick to make and file their claims and oil their gardens the united states is going at it intensely with military war games reportedly to train military forces to fight and win in the arctic speaking of russia it hasn't been idle either during the recent exercise that successfully tested a new hypersonic antiship cruise missile that's it. is also the flag which russia planted exam. actually at the north pole she bed a decade ago still annoys other contenders that norway another big claimant they're spending hundreds of millions rebuilding old the cold war

facilities in the north perhaps symbolically norway also moved its military headquarters within the arctic circle in fact norway was so involved and enthusiastic about recent nato war games that one of its brand new warships ended up colliding with an oil tanker which is neither very covertly nor very fast people are still wondering how that happened then there are the spoilers great britain for example nations with no arctic claims but rather than each to get involved we need to protect our national interests we will be launching our new defense arctic strategy the u.k. has unveiled a new arctic strategy where they plan to defend the arctic which may be difficult to do with britain's couple of ice breakers but they go to make up

they've even sent a royalty to the arctic great for the cab or is. also china it has potentially hundreds of billions at stake just in trade ship transport costs it recently launched the snow dragon to an ice breaker the doubles as a research vessel the least goes on and on frankly the degree of militarization is alarming but what choice is there russia for one filed its claims that the un will backed by. geographic data year is years ago and nothing has beat almost no progress on the diplomatic front. political pressure or incompetence the fact remains that when diplomats have paralyzed the military but pays

every nation state wants to grab all they can grab and go some are much worse than others so we have the u.s. putting all their military in there because allegedly. there are afraid of the russians doing so us of course is as good it's its troops as everyplace and all over africa over asia all of a lot of america they're going to have i guess mr trump would like to have the more in latin america this is all terrible. the us military budget is far too big it's as much as all the other countries in the world put together and of course they keep needing more and more more more more more killing machines it's a sad thing to see this happening in what is actually the spectacular beauty of the arctic but of course that. militaries never mind destroying destroying things.

you know what you're not international appreciate you staying with us this evening if you can stick around with the latest updates on top stories at the top of the. monsanto's round up our cigarettes they're carcinogenic money is the same thing as financially carcinogenic and you need to eradicate what's left by simply getting a lighter fluid throwing it in a big pile and something on fire. is absolutely no doubt that pakistan has a such a. proven track record sponsoring to ensure

a living something so just should. we have not received any evidence then we also were going to blame then we offer investigational for any guy and we have more heard anything about. the maturity turns. go in and you may never get over some sort of the most of. my teenage gang rules here because i don't want to be moved then let the mind go to blow those who were. but. maybe will. come out. minus. the. will. looking for the. gun and belive it when.

the monkey. the and. by the way bankrupt pres or bother to back up what all that is there is about them save us see them as institutions completely divorced from your mom so. the justice department said today the inmate population of federal and state prisons in this country is at an all time high. the public sees a need for more prisons because crime is the number one concern of the people in

this state. too many inmates not enough space. in their crime another. one hundred already have met up with the start of. the combination explosion in america with all of this going to prison time going towards want to. try. to restart on to. a shocking new number was released today and it deserves our undivided attention one out of every one hundred americans is now behind bars walked up to prison or jail.

the most important thing. is to talk from your heart if you have more than one child give a like an overall message but then do an individual one to each child throw them a kiss talk to them about what you do daily the rest should be just you if you've written a poor we've had people pray we've had people saying one guy showed his little boy how to shoot a basket the creative. these are gifts to your children. the families of punished right along with. the have found people don't think so but the collateral consequences of somebodies incarceration affects not just that whole family but it affects the whole community and affects you as an individual or the you know whether or not and whether you know that person or not that's incarcerated. to pay inform. you should care. i have

a background in film and video as a producer and i thought there's got to be something i can do so why not combine my career and my experience with the present system and come up with something for these kids. in that camera. and that they can look at and. you know this isn't your fault you did nothing wrong it means a lot and for many of these men and women it's the first time they've really taken responsibility which is huge and that's a first step in recovery of any. any time is to take responsibility for. this little. readiness of everybody that. i was going to go. on to do the best they can to stay.
