islam makes state fighters in their last stronghold in syria in the face of advancing military forces but u.s. general says the fight is far from over despite. claims to the country also ahead. evil evil is evil on the us democratic party is split over a resolution condemning anti semitism and muslim discrimination. those figures show you a great search turning their backs on them or a care for their holidays or speculation it's the president putting them all. yeah

i can understand why people make sense and i think i have enough to. protest against. yet. i run the clock across the world this is our international from the teen self if you will only a little and welcome our top story. last stronghold in syria appears on the verge of defeat. hundreds of its fighters in the village near the iraqi border of surrendered to u.s. backed forces many women and children have also fled the village some of them are the wives of the fighters however they still believe this does not spell the end of the caliphate.

despite donald trump repeatedly the clarity of final victory over eyes on america's top general says the fight is still far from over. more in the story. 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 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 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. well out 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 the middle east studies professor joshua landis believes there are still further setbacks in the bottle of two defeats eisel well as a 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

and that have formed we believe that forms sleeper cells which are going to activate in the you know and at some future date trumpet later clarified that this was a territorial state and that's why he's reversed his opinion on and that may not include a lot of the regular soldiers perhaps national forces obviously 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. right moving on now the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution condemning hate and intolerance including anti semitism and muslim

discrimination it was drawn up after democrats was accused of being anti jewish. we must reject all forms of big agree you are correct that if any. of our fellow human beings justice for. the good was anti-semitic so we come together with good folk yes both of them in the can do it sounds similar to the bigotry racism every time day anti-semitism raise its ugly head we need to stop it carlos is it. correct just. telling you it is just. him evil evil is evil well although the resolution was passed getting to that stage the drafting of the text was really fraught with disagreement sounds not the only thing democrats have been fighting over a killer being delving into the. 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 purge for israel i urge you to retract the statement and engage in further dialogue with the jewish community on why these comments are so hurtful it dition lee 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 on except. both 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 refers to israel to the netanyahu government is an indication that indeed deep state if you will this traditional 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 they're for it right it will be one of several maybe 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 is 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 began in twenty nine team 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 broods omar and brute others young progress to the are pushing for new ideas i think that is a sign to who that perhaps more popular involvement in the project could shift within the party at 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. r.t. new york. ok i want to turn attention now to the middle east where dozens of ultra-orthodox jews have been arrested in jerusalem this is all part of

a crock done against conscription demonstrations. there was security forces used horses and water come in to break up a protest which broke traffic to a gridlock for hours according to his really low. or exempt from true military service but they still need to receive a deferral notice from the army on the rise they risk being arrested for the drug. this is the u.s. that's according to new figures just a mist truth is there in it though polly boyko picks up the story. 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 only 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 shun would you shun 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 on him 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 will know all too personally so you're not pull the 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 but it's probably not to my lists for me just so we moneywise maybe i'd like to try but i think i think going for a holiday those very different going to that live all i see is migration and everything and so i really kind of choose to live i think that 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 already great very that bastion of even here to say. you know coming to. because of political situations so i don't think that's not really should have an impact on people choosing to hold their this nation so it's still still travel. america's great i don't know about in denver colorado where we're from but i can tell you i don't like don't much if you want from the

u.s. would you go to the u.s. on holiday probably not really why not. i'd probably just want to stay here where where i know what's going on where there's no chaos whatsoever and it's still very very calm on advertising if you like. ok i'm going to america. ali on the london streets hungry prime minister locks horns with european officials over immigration we have more on that story plenty more besides after this. question countries are very reluctant to recognize the fact that that is why mike formally and also to make that they were perhaps stronger and condemning him or siding against him so with glee in the use of the war so they're tactically i mean

to undermine the reconstruction process by the prolongation of sanctions i think it was in countries would want a situation where this is serious reconstructed by the base you know ways in which he started by a third power not russia iran not by the west and by the g.c.c. or by china. joined me every day on the elec simon shore and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

seventy minutes past four pm here in moscow welcome back the migration crisis that rocked europe is all but over that's the claim of e.u. officials but it seems not everyone is singing the same tune the hungary in pm for instance is claiming the very future of the block is in diet if it continues with pro immigration policies peter all of our reports. 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 but structural problems remain it's a statement that's backed up by i think it is 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 not that 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 turned or stand the european peoples have come to a historic crossroads 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 change a 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. about our opinion of the guardian government come payments that's distort the truth and six and seek to paint a dark picture of

a secret trucks 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 to us to europe. to new coming in we can't let. me can pretend it's really all over with what some deny any of the things do or the policy 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 to 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 others ple believe because the problems are already here peter all of r.t.

. china has warned washington it will take all necessary measures to protect its businesses it comes a day after a while way filed a lawsuit against the u.s. government over what the chinese telecoms john calls. a constitutional federal ban on its products the chinese foreign minister said the wall way case was clearly a political move. it is fairly obvious to any fair and subjective person that the recent actions against a particular chinese company and individual don't amount to a purely judicial case but rather to a political move designed to bring them down china has to continuously take any measures necessary to protect the legitimate rights and interests of chinese citizens and businesses it is the responsibility of the chinese government at the same time we support the companies and individuals to seek redress for their legitimate interests under the law we are refusing to play the victim and silent

on the. t.v. but for now the mountains of moist only grow. greetings and salutations even though holland ween is still about a half a year away today hawk watchers we should begin by looking at two modern day monsters wearing masks of celebrity wealth and power i'm speaking of course about world famous singer r. kelly and billionaire hedge fund or jeffrey epstein this week while r. kelly has been getting angry and jumping out of chairs during prime time news interviews to profess his innocence after chicago police finally saw one too many sex tapes and lifetime documentary series as featuring the singer's predation of underage girls there's strangely been barely a whisper out of u.s.

law enforcement or even a brief interview on mainstream media for mr epstein even after a federal judge recently ruled that federal prosecutors under former miami u.s. attorney alex acosta broke the law when they concealed a plea agreement for more than thirty underage victims who had been sexually abused by the wealthy new york hedge fund manager. two very powerful men in their respective fields both the quds devote most heinous of crimes but while kelly is finally being forced to face the consequences of his actions under the harsh glare of the media spotlight mr geoffrey upstream has stayed hidden in the shadows and it would appear that both the media and police are fine with that this comes despite epstein being accused of very similar crimes as kelly even though i guess one could argue epstein worked out an even grander scale than kelly could ever dream of involving everything from secret islands private jets and actual royalty in his crimes one could only wonder if this could not only be due to the sphere of

influence that has surrounded supported and protected epstein's predation of underage women being far higher up the hollywood d.c. political food chain than r. kelly's but also because of the color of their skin as well because as history has shown us here in the united states we often tragically prefer our monsters to be dark in color rather than the old rich white and privileged they tend to actually be now let's start watching the hawks. to. get the. real thing this week. as part of. what they like you know that i got. was that we. would. be. taking. welcome everyone to watching the hawks i am

a robot and i'm happy to wallace. this has been a long time coming i have to say for both of these men to at least have the sort of light shined on them and sort of you know pulling the vampire out of his having him out in the sunlight you know where it burns off a little bit and it doesn't.
