let. islamic state in the last stronghold in syria. syrian democratic. top u.s. general says the fight. for peace to the contrary. he claims that the migrant crisis is past its worst dismissed by hungary which warns could be on the brink breaking out. in the u.s. democratic soft a disagreement on a resolution condemning anti semitism and anti muslim discrimination. so we come together today hopefully asshole is the hammock. bigotry racism.

evil evil is evil. international it's the eighth of march international women's day i'm calling brain moscow with the news this hour hundreds of islamic state finances are surrendering to u.s. backed forces in the syrian. the last i still held area near the iraqi border in addition to the jihadists who have surrendered there also women and children of the sea some of them of the wives of eisel fighters and they still believe that this is not the end of the caliphate. the village of but has been a focal point for syrian democratic forces for several weeks despite donald trump repeatedly declaring victory over the top u.s.

general says the fight is far from over more on the. how to 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. old 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 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 good news 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 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 commitment 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 goose thorn in the side you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of isis see a resurgent you know everyone's going 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 middle east studies professor joshua landis believes 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'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 a farm's sleeper cells which are going to activate in the you know and at some

future date trying to 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 a isis is far from over and. whatever claims about this the president is making are misleading. e.u. officials are claiming the migration crisis on the continent has passed its worst and is all but over but not all agree the hungarian prime minister says the bloc could break up if it continues to impose pro immigration policies has peter all of

them. 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 structural 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 it to out of three people convicted of a violent crime migrants those that work closely with refugees and migrants say it's no surprise that they feature so prominently in crime figures the armor vulnerable they have experienced more trauma some of them come from violent cultures and they take it with them among against the e.u. commission migration increases crime 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 crossroads his government has launched an information campaign criticize

. 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 has. distorted the truth and six and seek to paint it dark 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. europe. to new coming in we can't let. me can pretend it's really all over with what's on the i need everything is new all the policy of the country etc. it has been worse

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 work only if you are in 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 plea believe because the problems are already here peter all of. 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 forms of bigotry and prejudice directed at any. of our fellow human beings just describe against one who is

anti-semitic so we come together hopefully asshole the. bigotry racism every time that anti-semitism rears its ugly head we need to stop it how long does it take to figure out just don't know. how many times how many how many pages does it take to sign ill in the evil evil is evil well though 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 quarrelling about steeper into 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'm sat in the representative omari continues to mischaracterize to purge for israel on why these comments are so hurtful edition 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 it's unacceptable to even question u.s. foreign policy some democrats through willing to compromise and added language to the resolution condemning 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 there are jewish she added. 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 receive 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 want trump ousted right away when your silence is used as 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 twenty 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. the change that is happening in the democratic party is something that started with the recent elections that proves a moderate and brute others young progress are pushing for new ideas i think that is a son who who that perhaps more popular involvement in the project could shift

within the party and increasingly challenge the traditional elites of 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. kellam or been there while the internal conflict isn't the only controversy connected with the party the democrats are also refusing to allow the conservative fox news channel to host any of its debate during the two thousand and twenty presidential election campaign donald trump threatening to do the same with pro-democratic channels or he hasn't specified which ones recent reporting in the new york only inappropriate relationship between president trump 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 then i think i'll do the same thing with the freak news networks and the radical left democrats in the general election debates on 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 it is now of course the white house communications director it also claims citing sources the 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 debate question on the other side of the political spectrum in twenty sixteen the actually confirmed former c.n.n. commentator donna brazil admitted she used her position to give a heads up to hillary clinton on questions at the c.n.n.

hosted debate in twenty sixteen she was working as a party chairwoman at that time political commentator steve malzberg sees the democrats' 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 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 trumped arrangement syndrome whatever you want to call it they hate trumps 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 then they came up with an excuse the white house is edging into the not to join beijing's belsen road infrastructure project and that's causing a strong reaction from china we'll tell you about that after the break.

most people think just stand down in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest reason in truth to stand on the news business is just the dance the right questions and the right answer.

questions. back china has defended its growing partnership with s.l.e. after criticism from the united states itself or the white house urged rove not to join beijing's belton road infrastructure project we view belt and 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 it's only knows exactly what policies serve its own interests and

it can make its decisions independently run is expected to sign up to the initiative when chinese president xi jinping visits at the end of the month italy's 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. the belton road initiative spans three continents all the way from china to europe and africa and back around to the asian sub continent its plan to help connect nearly two thirds of the world's population by linking key cities via roads railways and ports beijing's pledged a trillion dollars in infrastructure development over the course of the next decade however the united states has expressed security concerns over the project and is questioning china's motives sociologist paolo burn a d.v.d. believes italy has much to gain from the initiative. not. to act in this particular. frankly.

i mean. nobody would be. telling us what we have to do it is acting for the poor the benefit also put a band of. america if you will be a great that. you. know i was in that movie they were in. the bottom of the. sea and they are always. for you there will be a new link between this great company in the open your asia and i don't see any damage. on the spines 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 uncool reporting from london here's. the

transatlantic road trip they used to be most students dream holiday things like route sixty six or recreating the journeys of the beatniks from the road or feminist fugitives like bella and louise 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 share would you share on a trip to the u.s. because of trouble yeah i can understand why people boycott and make so would you very sure merican holiday would it be kind of top of your list of where you want to go not the totem of

a line or. i don't know she's never really appealed to me and especially with all the poses going on and so it's not like there's a no you prefer to go some are a bit more. culturally appropriate. would you want to go to america or just donald trump but you're not going to personally so you're not bothered no 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 probably not to my list but mr seventy was maybe i'd like to have me and . i think i think going for a holiday those very different going over that's live all i see is migration and everything and so i really kind of choose to live i think with everything going on is quite intense and i think i want to but then again you know the whole thing is like parts and stuff so you know it's not a great a very that's a bastion of anything here to say. you know coming to. you carry because of

political situations that really should have an impact on people choosing a whole day the scenary should say still still travel also sutro we are america's great i don't know about in denver colorado where we're where we're from but i can tell you i don't like don't come very much if you aren't from the us would you go to the us on holiday probably not really why don't you know i probably just want to stay here where where i know what's going on where there's no chaos what so either and it's still very very calm on advertising here to see that you know that you. can come to america. dozens of ultra-orthodox jews have been arrested in a crackdown on anti conscription demonstrations in jerusalem god i am god god
