yeah. the. u.s. says the fight against islamic state is far from over terrorists. and

alleged. being investigated. by. the institute already insists russian intelligence is to blame. for. united. certainly glad to have you with us. and hundreds of islamic state fighters are

surrendering to the u.s. about forces in the syrian village of bugaboos last eisel held area near the iraqi border in addition to the jihad us who have surrendered there are also women and children at the scene some of them are wives of the eisel fighters and they still believe this is not the end of a caliphate. the village of has been a focal point for the syrian democratic forces for several weeks now despite donald trump repeatedly declaring victory over eisel the top u.s. general says the fight is far from over go comments 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 that will remain in bank who's all the ones brimming with jihadi ideology and the ones for whom 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 booze before the guns go off but the aus and 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 the. 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 i still 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 a good study says now we've won and at least for now president trumps proud announcement that the american soldiers were pulling out makes less sense the pullout would have definitely scored mr trump some valuable political points but nothing seems to be certain here especially with this big goof thorn in the side you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of isis see

a resurgent you know they're going out we'll come back if we have to anyway whatever happens next depends on what ignites in this small but vital strip of land known as booze joshua landis a professor of middle east studies believes the fight against islamic state is likely to suffer further set backs. well as general votel testified in tangram 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 forms sleeper cells which are going to activate in the you know it's 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 one 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 a isis is far from over and. whatever claims about this the president is making are misleading. a suspected cyber attack on a british institute that seeks to counter russian descent from ation is now being investigated by the u.k.'s national crime agency or he's an associate as well here in the u.k. the now infamous highly unlikely formula pops back into the spotlight as that report circulates citing white a whole sources claiming that russia's military intelligence service the g.r.u.

had been according to them the one to have an up until recently not very well known british based institute for statecraft 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 thing. think tank and at the same time we're hearing that a former senior ministry of defense civil servant who is also a co-founder of this institute for statecraft is already claiming that it could only have been russia despite lack of proof so far the only thing which makes sense is that this is the real. value of this institute for statecraft and its program the integrity of 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 of ronald 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 highly likely accusations ever since the sold very scandal the government has concluded its credit and we think it will mean you likely to do it was his decision it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this reckless and despicable act the russian president's spokesperson discourse has commented on these latest developments he has 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 support this investigation is going on so let's see if they do end up providing some proof in the end to all of

these accusations. china has defended its growing partnership with your criticism from the u.s. that's after the white house urged a role not to join beijing's belt and road infrastructure project. we view belts and road initiatives 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 it's only knows exactly what policies of its own interests and it can make its decisions independently. rome is expected to sign up to the initiative when chinese president xi jinping visits at the end of the month italy's a coalition government is 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 global trade and infrastructure project proposed five years ago it will link china and europe asia to africa with roads railways and ports but the u.s. and some other western powers have expressed security concerns over the project and questioned china's motives sociologist follow bernardine believes italy has much to gain from the initiative. crisis because the last numbers that they are thinking about this of these guys is to act in this particular not as in going to frankly. i mean not a way of. telling us what we have to do it is a kind of patronize in the way. you know. we know what to do and. we don't need anyone from come about.

they should have in this case acting for the poor the benefit also for the benefit of the environment i'm an american i think would be a great advantage for me. on several points of view it would be really really neat to live in the middle they were adamant. to pause the both of bad things and yes that we have to be reminded. to six sections or pull them away or by way of the. sea and they are always doing beneficial for you there will be a new link between the people of the same great continent all the way and i don't see any potential damage for the united states on the sponsor and. the democratic party in the us has refused to allow the conservative fox news channel to host any of its debates during the two thousand and twenty presidential election cycle donald trump has threatened to do the same with pro-democratic channels so he

didn't specify which one the president trumps his administration and fox news has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fan a neutral debate for our candidates than for fox news will not serve as a media partner for the twenty twenty democratic primary debates democrats just block folks news from holding a debate good then i think i'll do the same thing with the fake news networks and the radical left democrats in the general election debates. in announcing their decision to boycott fox the democrat side of a report in the new yorker magazine describing of the close relationship between the channel and trump and it says that the network has turned into trump's propaganda machine the article points out the various fox news pundits are now working in the trumpet ministration they include former fox co president bill shine who is now the white house communications director and also claims citing sources

that trump was given advanced notice of a primary debate question with the help of a former chief executive of fox news roger ailes although the leak of a debate question on the other side of the political spectrum was actually confirmed former c.n.n. commentator donna brazil admitted that she used her position to give a heads up to hillary clinton on questions at the c.n.n. hosted debate in two thousand sixteen she was working as a party chairwoman at that time political commentator steve malzberg comments and he says that the democrats' response is hypocritical. you know how many members of the obama administration are now staffing the positions at c.n.n. and 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 all 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 cause 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. the champions league saw some major upset this week holders madrid crashed out on tuesday and wednesday some porto and manchester united make it through to the quarter finals all three teams have been managed by justin marino who is now back on r t with a new show on the touchline take a look and i'll see you at the top there with headlines. thunder in interview and football was was really really good to put the needle in the war for good seeing the would be naive as they look in the call for position results are phenomenal writable is not about ifs or some other host or.

so josie the food seems the three to the quarter finals of the champions league they are i.x. manchester united poor and spurs some cracking games this week that start with i accept for one demolition every on the grid that in a bag they go three five three an aggregate no one predicted that today. really difficult to predict that because. real madrid these. various and absolutely amazing records and. very young team that has a beautiful style of play but many many times is not competitive in is not smart enough to compete with the top teams in europe i played them two years ago in the inaugural pollute final and was is at the what we do we felt good seeing technically very good but. i would be naive and the show is that true that in the

first match at home. in amsterdam they were really strong they created lots of problems to real madrid but in the end they made a couple of mistakes real madrid understand and the match that could hand with a different result vell madrid once all the feeling for the second leg was a little bit more of the same but they got real madrid. in the hard moments. and they go to the game with nothing. lose that pressure the real heads on the shoulders they go into the game they score of all real madrid immediately has. some reaction heats the bolts twice and when you feel that the momentum is not the moment the pressure is coming to ones and belief comes to the others and tactically speaking

what did they get so right when they beat reality because the times that you seem to seem to go through them it will i think that the position of privilege create lots of problems because they play with each as a fig fields running away from the central defenders of madrid that sometimes they try to press sometimes they stayed in position but they're saying more than that it was the the free mind. was that. was their tweet to do to fuel the game with the happiness of the young people the ghost of the world to show what they can do to show their qualities if they lose that's a normal seeing if they get a positive result that's good if been knock out the three times champions league we know it's something really amazing and they went for that and created for them rio manager suggested they were mitigating circumstances he said

look you know we hit woodwork twice in the first half we lost two key plays in the first half we had a controversial third goal against us when we didn't know whether a bully gone out or not when i exclude their third could it been different on a different night you think from real madrid if you looked in that perspective yes because. while i mean to vote on hit the post and i think that the goal won. now in control. has amounting to do that escalate but that didn't happen either x. was. it was really really good they were not afraid to to play it the better bell the guys they showed great. attitude you know they put the needle in the warm real madrid was was. psychologically in some difficulties and. that's absolutely amazing amazing the fact that they go to the two that were there

when they were four now let's talk about another amazing result manchester united beating at paris and your man away go and result decided by a very controversial last minute bars penalty decision that went man united way did you think it was a penalty i think it was as human beings we can make mistakes on the peach on real time with a fraction of the second to decide when it goes to the technology and to have to try not to make mistakes so i'm sure that was. a lot of communication for that decision with the referee with the referees inside of the room and that was the and that was a decision porter they gave three you from my side they beat row matthew one at the drag out going three for three in aggregate again a last minute penalty decision decided by bars again great drama and again great decision. is a clear penalty and these on sides and this is the kind of penalty that mean that

ninety five. i don't think the referee would give it also because the position of the body of the defender and the attacker doesn't give the referee a complete view of the situations and in this moment the teams that are going to be qualified in this moment before that they're already qualified they have all of them twelve point five percent chances of winning the champions league and. certainly you are in the group of twenty five percent. and seas of of winning. when you look to. real madrid to be contenders to win it they are already in a way liverpool by in munich one of them will be also out i think every team. including god is the tottenham and don't forget

that. amongst the eight. big big chances for a big surprise this season of one thousand to two we need to at least one team to be to be in the final that nobody expects or why not bottom p.s.g. manager seemed to suggest that you know he felt his side should have won that given the domination they had in the game given all the possession the chance they had. it did seem like it signs man united by hanging on but they won the game but i suppose again in different circumstances it could accomplish. if you compare. that match with a real madrid match it looks like it is easier to see no bulbs that deserved to win that match at the bend of l. in spite of real had this couple of chances when you will do this one in photos or

you can go in the program ethically and say football is not about ifs football is about is about a result much as tonight you've heard four shots during the ninety five minutes and then four shots course three balls. and piers you have. almost seventy percent or more position had the more than ten shots and they scored only one that's that's the primitive way of looking at football. in terms of players i was immediately thinking about that beach because i think it was you were ski player in that amazing match but then after. united victory. and putting together the two the two match these tuesday wednesday. and also because normally. when things go wrong.

everybody goes into the direction of the guilty manager let's say that i think independent of the performance is. much less and i think results from nominal results and if the responsibility in the bed days is for the managers the responsibility of the good days is also for the managers so for me. from either x. and so square from manchester united. incredible incredible results so credit to credit to them i would say in relation to iraq's by. the recall perspective and also all by the mental expect of their game manchester united to go see the mental side of it's the self the self believe so for me very special days for these two men. but just changing the

set now you will be standing up the next time i hear you play a bit football yourself not just the money you have the playoffs not define a sign. how do you get on do you think so if you think so i think so with so many goals and i like them i don't know. i'm still going to school and well positioned to play in the in a couple position of time but as i organize the building gov and i don't run much because all they are doing i've know my pubis nineteen and all the other guys and lead from me nineteen twenty four five so how would you describe yourself as a player and just yesterday coming tonight. no i think you're the coach on the pitch you know organizing speaking the thing east played in even you were in you stage of your career yeah right decent level you know i played.

in the in the portuguese second division which is like the english friendship some of us were students and some of us even some guys that had they had some let's say part time jobs but it was a professional professional competition is the second division just below the portuguese. the portuguese primitive yeah i was. nineteen twenty but then i went to him. when the and. it was hard to be at that level and. you were in that the same time when i finish uni. i went immediately to the approaching so i was twenty five when i wrote my first job was as a coach not bad leaves i know very little player of the. years was was very very good.

fences or athletic a madrid even a trailing to neil after losing inspect hold and be surprised with the huge comeback from from a home team. gets to me gets. for one. i wouldn't be i wouldn't be surprised but on this the if a team can cope with. the pressure if a team can. can defend the leads if a team can control defensively the game lead to quiz is a good example of a team that can do bed so if i had if i had to choose i would still choose. to go madrid but will be a surprise for me if returns if there are next one boy in liverpool that finish after the first leg i see by and in spite of up and down season i see them now on

on the up. with the morale of god will lose in consecutively and then recovering positions even in the book in this league and i see by him as a team that can score goals if i had to choose i wouldn't bet on pounds but if i had two trees old old shoes by and ok right barcelona only on i mean did well to get a goal is result from the first leg but i'm guessing you go for barcelona i have to first of all because usually on goes the one of their own and gets a draw with goals or we in the game and not called barcelona in spite of they are a good team. and they can go with the same kind of mentality has the. many united. icing would be like. at all like a thunder in interview in football if one of the lawn these is the sort of big theme

to be gulled and that home will be. viewed through a little i don't believe that messy and in these fellows are going to lose these opportunities so for me but still on the house doing ok and man city again shall command city got three way goals in the first leg three two up there is a. man city's a very good season. but on this the. so lucky in the draws and you look even to the chimpanzee and their group phase and now the tie against the sharks i would see they be child and they will get porto or in the quarter final. in moscow no more against spartak. is

a match to have. the winter break is so big in russia that the teams there have time to rest they have time to to buy to sell they have time to to have a proper pre-season in the. warmer weather those were the can come back for these remaining part of the season really strong in england i think spurs chelsea. arsenal and manchester united are fighting for two for two positions and i think these these much is the match of the weekend. and everybody speculates about where you're going next can you give us any hints now i'm going home. but but on this the gaunts i don't know. in all speculations. speculations. i never how did that. never come situation i'm

not desperate to work at all. i'm studying i'm doing sings that i cannot do when i'm walking.
