islamic state fighters abandon the last stronghold in syria yielding to advancing syrian democratic forces but a top u.s. general says the fight is far from over despite repeated claims to the contrary. claims that the migrant crisis has passed its worst dismissed by hungary which will be on the brink of breaking up. the split in the us democratic party deepens off the disagreement on a resolution condemning anti semitism and anti muslim discrimination. so we come together only as. bigotry racism. does it. evil evil is evil.

there it's eleven am here in moscow this eighth of march international women's day . with the news from international this friday hundreds of state fighters rendering to u.s. backed forces in the syrian village over the last i saw held areas near the iraqi border i would addition to the jihadists who surrendered there are also women and children at the sea some of them are the wives of myself isis and they still believe that this is not the end of the caliphate. the village of the goose has been a focal point for the syrian democratic forces for several weeks despite donald trump repeatedly declaring victory over eisel the top u.s. general says the fight is far from. more on that for me here for trying to. 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 bag who's of the ones brimming with the few jihadi 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 thousands 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 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 against isis now we've won and at least for now president trumps proud announcement that the. 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 goose thorn in the side you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of isis see a resurgent you know they're running 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 middle east studies professor joshua landis believes the fight against islamic state is likely to suffer for the setbacks. well as he said that. yes this is the end of the territorial state which is very important but it's 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 and 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 special 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 isis is far from over and. whatever claims about this the president is making are misleading way. of officials are claiming the migration crisis on the continent has passed its worst is all but over but not all agree the hug area prime minister says the bloc could break up if it continues to impose pro immigration policies more on

that from peter on a. great news from the european commission this week the migrant crisis is over over the past four years the e.u. has made significant progress with tangible results in addressing the challenge of migration europe is no longer experiencing the migration crisis we lived through in twenty fifteen strike sure problems remain it's a statement that's backed up by figures from the un refugee agency that show that one hundred twenty thousand people tried to cross the mediterranean last year and that is down almost ninety percent from the high in twenty fifteen but that doesn't mean that everything is sorted though crime statistics across europe show migrants are overrepresented in many countries the italian interior ministry say that while foreigners in the country represent only eight percent of the population they make up over thirty percent of suspects in criminal cases. job and my colleagues jobs are to ensure security and it can be provided without supporting the smugglers and

n.g.o.s or accomplices to these criminals but by supporting those who actually protect the borders here in berlin three quarters of those in pretrial detention came from outside of germany while in norway a journalistic investigation revealed that to out of three people convicted of a violent crime were migrants those that work closely with refugees and migrants say it's no surprise that they feature so prominently in crime figures the m. are vulnerable they have experienced more trauma some of them come from violent cultures and they take it with that among those against the e.u. commission statement on gary and prime minister viktor orban has been the most vocal that migration increases crimes especially criminal acts against women and introduces the virus of terrorism in our midst but we cannot get stuck in our fears we have to understand that the european peoples have come to

a historic crossroad. yes his government has launched an information campaign criticizing what he sees as brussels plan to encourage immigration that everyone has the right to know the proposals that fundamentally being hungry security in his mind or claims are dismissed as pure politics by the e.u. commission he says he's trying to create a baseless narrative of a shadowy constant received the commission is. about our opinion of the guardian government complaints that distort the truth and six and seek to paint a dark picture of a secret brought to drive more migration to europe allegedly so what the europeans think about claims the migrant crisis is over totally disagree i don't think it's over now that other people are still coming just. to europe.

will probably continue coming in we can't let. me can pretend it's really all that good what's wrong deny any of the things the rules the polity of the country etc. it has been worse but but. it isn't fixed that's not i don't think it's over and i don't think it will be over for a while we took a lot of people in only if you have we're only a few i'm training or education and i think they should be integrated into society better while european chiefs may be claiming the refugee crisis is no longer a problem at the border others plea believe it's because the problems are already here peter all of our team building. a split in the us democratic party deepens the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution condemning hate and intolerance including anti semitism and anti muslim discrimination it was drafted and put to the vote after democratic representative was accused of being anti-semitic for criticizing the israeli

government. we must reject all of our fellow human beings just described against one who is anti-semitic so we come together today hopefully asshole there's a hammock in doom. bigotry racism every time that anti-semitism raise its ugly head we need to stop it how low does it take to figure out just. how many how many pages does it take to sign ill in the evil evil is evil although the resolution was passed the process of drafting the text was fraught with disagreements between party members and it's not the only issue the democrats have been quarreling about and i'm open to the divide. top democrats in congress have spent the last week drafting a resolution condemning what they consider to be bigotry and offensive speech and it's not from trump or republicans it's from fellow democrat ilana omar the

freshman congresswoman she talked about the israel lobby and they say that is offensive to jews i want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is ok for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country some democrats are demanding an apology for a comment they say represented blatant anti semitism i am saddened that representative o'mara continues to mischaracterize to perjure israel i urge you to retract the statement and engaging ferdie dialogue with the jewish community on why these comments are so hurtful it dition only questioning support for the us israel relationship is unacceptable so the democrats had their resolution it was all set they were ready to put it to a vote but then they had a big problem because people from their own party came out swinging against it i'm curious if representative vargas will further explain his stance here that is unacceptable to even question u.s. foreign policy some democrats through willing to compromise and added language to

the resolution in. islamophobia as well as anti semitism what congresswoman omar said i thought was wrong and hurtful but i also want to say that what happened linking all muslims to the terrorist attack was wrong and hurtful if you look through everything that she has said it makes no references to jews or jewish individuals to the jewish people namely because the are jewish she refers to israel to the netanyahu government is an indication that indeed deep state if you will the democratic party structure is still in place is still strong enough and the divide is getting deeper at this point the hard left democrats are rallying around the green new deal this is a resolution that would completely revamp america's transportation system reorient the energy markets and build lots of infrastructure at first nancy pelosi had quite

a few questions about it. the green dream or whatever they call it nobody knows what it is but therefore it's right it will be one of several many many suggestions that we received that republicans were ready to put the green new deal up for a vote but then democrats got fired up they're bringing a resolution forward so they can vote against it this cheap cynical ploy evidently represents the sum total of senate republicans leadership on the vital issue of climate change the same goes for impeachment the democratic socialists one trump ousted right away when your silence it seems is home alone if you want bullies don't wait and see things also because we're going to go in there really some of them. but the top dog democrats say they should cool their heels before you impeach somebody you have to persuade the american public that it ought to to happen you have to persuade enough of the opposite of the opposition party voters

sort of trump voters this fight didn't begin in twenty nineteen back during the two thousand and sixteen democratic primary rank and file leftists felt as if the nomination had been robbed from them and later wiki leaks confirmed that it was indeed a rigged against them and they didn't forget about it either. the video from last night really shows the passion that these bernie sanders supporters have any anger that they have they feel like they are being shut out. thank you. for. the change that is happening in the democratic party is something that started with the recent elections the roads in amman and brute others young program.

pushing for new ideas i think that is the son who perhaps more popular involvement in the party could shift on its within the party and increasingly challenge the traditional elites the democrats and twenty sixteen trump swept in and took the republican party in a new populist direction and it's pretty clear that the democratic socialist wing wants to take the democratic party in a new direction as well but there are some pretty solid and entrenched leaders who are determined to stop them. kalam open their will the internal conflict isn't the only control to see connected with the party the democrats are also refusing to allow the conservative fox news channel to host any of its debates during the twenty twenty presidential election campaign donald trump's threatening to do the same with pro-democratic channels although they haven't specified which ones. recent reporting in the new york only inappropriate relationship between president

from his administration and fox news is led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates for 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 goods that i think will do the same thing with the freak news networks and the radical left democrats in the general election debates well in announcing their decision to boycott fox news the democrats cited a report in the new yorker magazine describing the close relationship between the channel and the trump of ministration it says that the network has turned into trump's propaganda machine and the article points out the various fox news pundits are now working in the trumpet ministration they include former fox co president bill shine he's now the white house communications director it also claims citing sources that trump was given advance notice of a primary debate question with the help of the now deceased former head of fox news roger ailes although the leak of

a question on the other side of the political spectrum in twenty sixteen 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 of the c.n.n. host a debate in twenty sixteen if you prats response as 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. and n.b.c. and c.b.s. and a.b.c. the whole thing is just to donald trump they're not fair and balanced this is just more dimentia if you will or trump the arrangement syndrome whatever you want to call it they hate trump so much so you know how 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 the white house is edging italy not to join beijing's belton road infrastructure project causing

a strong reaction from china and among those stories still ahead. is absolutely no doubt that pakistan has a certain. proven track record sponsoring terrorism. on think so that's your evidence we have not received any evidence then we are going to blame then we are for investigation of any kind we have more heard anything about. a religious thing do all between two dystopian nightmares brave new world the next

ninety four as they say you know you're in heaven there unless like a brave new world of the soma is essentially you're clicking on discrediting yourself and and then re crediting your stuff through video games that would be more like i think brave new world the soma. digital. and then the us has more of a night here before with a click to an actual cellphone natural girl that was surrounded by t.v. cameras. back china's defended its growing partnership with italy after criticism from the united states itself or the white house urged rome not to join beijing's belton road infrastructure project. we've you built and road initiative is a made by china for china and they should say if 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. expected to sign up for the initiative when chinese president xi jinping visits at the end of the month italy's coalition government is talking up a benefit. 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 belton road initiative was first proposed five years ago it's a global trade and infrastructure project that spans from china all the way to europe and africa and the indian subcontinent connecting key cities via roads railways and ports however the u.s. has expressed security concerns over the project and questioned beijing's motives sociologist paolo bennett dini believes italy has much to gain from the initiative . not as they are that this of these

allies is to act in this particular. frankly. i mean not of what it would be. telling us what we have to do but only i think for the pool the benefit also for the benefit of the man in the area they think will be a great the. point that you will be leaving the lives in the middle there at. the bottom of the. sea and they are always. all you would be and you really mean it's a great job your way and i don't see any potential damage. on this for us and. for young people in the u.k. taking a trip across the pond is becoming less of an attraction with many of them blaming

donald trump for making the united states on coal reporting from london his party boy. that transatlantic road trip they used to be most students dream holiday things like route sixty six or recreating the journeys of the beatniks from old the road or feminist fugitives like bella and louis s. but according to the u.k.'s biggest youth travel operator the kids of today no longer consider the us a cool destination backpacking trips and holidays over to america are down twenty three percent from the start of the year and the travel operators are blaming it on something called the trump slump they say that socially conscious millennial is an generation's ias a shining america because their perch off by none other than the president himself would you shun would you shun a trip to the u.s. because of trouble yeah i can understand why people think so would you very sure

merican holiday would it be kind of top of your list of where you want to go not the top from a line on him i don't know she's never really appealed to me and especially with all the poses going on as well it's not like as i know you prefer to go some are a bit more. culturally appropriate. would you want to go to america or just donald trump but you will know all too personally so you're not bothered i'll go america which you. do you go to trip you have the opportunity to go to america you still go you know like i wouldn't care but don't try to i don't like what he does but like i like to go but it's probably not to my lists for me just so we moneywise maybe i'd like to have me and. i think i think going for a holiday those very different going over there to live a life actually migration and everything and so i really got to choose to live i think that can go after you know it's already great very that bastion of hard even here to say. you know coming to the u.k.

because of political situations i really should have a new car. some people are choosing the whole day this nation so it's still still travel. great i don't know about in denver colorado where we're where we're from but i don't like don't much. where there's no chaos whatsoever and it's still very very nice out on advertising. and guns in america. it's been an amazing few days in football's champions league this week hold israel madrid crashed out on tuesday well wednesday saw porto manchester united go through to the quarter finals all three teams have been managed by cho same radio along the way he's now back on r t with a new series in the top four on the touchline for here's a quick glimpse behind the scenes. he played football yourself not just in the playoffs not in a fine assign. you don't you think so if you think so i think so you school you

know what positions you play in the in the call for position of the how would you describe yourself as a player and. coach on the pitch you know organizing speaking these things being simple and left the. show with a little bit of writhing. on the touchline as he states if you missed yesterday's launch episode you can find it on you tube channel up next an indian diplomat and pakistan's information minister talked to sophie shevardnadze about sorting out the nuclear neighbors deadly rivalry.

what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to say the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge from the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. are not serious. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to go. by the way what is the fly here. they all.

get you all this is how the good. old live. a long gone sophie shevardnadze tensions are running high between india and

pakistan over a deadly terrorist attack in kashmir with artillery and more. her fire from both sides and indian jet downed is this a random uptick in violence or a war in the making on this edition of the show will hear both sides out to. the two nuclear powers of south asia on the brink of war with pakistani based terrorists attacking indian soldiers and the indian air force in gauging pakistani fights is how you can cool heads prevail and prevent escalation managing to say face kind of election pressure in india and military influence in pakistan push the leaders towards radical decisions and will the cycle of violence in the rest of kashmir continue to threaten peace in the region. and will start with india in perspective ambassador a shark that former indian envoy to china and accept what i referred to at the ministry of external affairs he joins us to help shed some light on the conflict

and master mr cantor the most recent escalation between india and pakistan since they have been contained now with pakistan releasing the captured indian pilot and returning its commissioner to new delhi but the situation is still tans in kashmir is our risk of violence breaking out again. has been a continual. when all what has happened there tension has been binding down there again operating from a spoil but would like to be convinced that what pakistan is doing is not merely making nature that they are willing to break the long habit of the sponsoring activities against india a look not that problem is not i'm afraid that this can offer no. on indian soil leading to escalation will continue. so the steps to do is go late

came quick and work goodwill gesture from pakistan so the release of a captive indian palace can the momentum of the.
