this headline stories islamic state fighters. stronghold in syria in the face of advancing military forces but a u.s. general says the fight is far from over despite all from places to the complete. pages does it take to sign. the evil. evil the us democratic party is split over a resolution. among muslim discrimination. figures show young britons are turning their backs for their holidays their speculation

it's the president but i. can understand why people think on their accents like the guy the is probably not a few minutes. smart in home. page. one minutes past the finest pm here in moscow on this friday march the welcome to our international i mean o'neill our top story. last stronghold in syria appears on the verge of falling hundreds of its fighters in the village of near the iraqi border surrendered to u.s. forces many women and children of also fled the violence some of them otherwise fighters whoever they themselves don't believe this spells the death of the caliphate. thank you.

lost by donald trump repeatedly declaring a final victory over the america's top general ses the fight is still far from over the princess more. 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 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 and 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 not. thing 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 in our rooms and 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 yeah that is the big question the middle east studies professor just rely on this is all of the few that further setbacks lie ahead in the bottle to defeat. 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

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 trying to later clarify that this is a 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 special 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 isis is far from over and. whatever claims about this the president is making are

misleading. the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution condemning hate and intolerance including anti-semitism on muslim discrimination it was drawn up after democrats omar was accused of being. we must reject all forms of bigotry and prejudice directed at any of our fellow human beings justice cries out against one who is anti-semitic so we come together today hopefully asshole is the hand of condemn anti-semitism bigotry racism every time that anti-semitism rears its ugly head we need to stop it how well does it take to figure out just don't hate how only child how many how many pages does it take to side l in the evil evil is evil although the resolution of

the drafting the text tools with disagreements on the only thing democrats have been fighting over with more. top democrats in congress have spent the last week drafting a resolution 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 o'mara continues to mischaracterize to perjury israel i urge you to retract the statement and engage in fruity dialogue with the cheeriest community 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 who the jewish people namely because there are jewish she added. 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. 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 the 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 let's 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 what the links confirm 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 the roots of moderate and brute others young progress that's are pushing for new ideas i think that is a sign to who that perhaps more popular involvement in the party could shift within the party and who 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. dozens of ultra-orthodox jews have been arrested in jerusalem it comes as part of a crackdown against empty conscription demonstrations. by

security forces used horses under water cannon to break up the protest which trafficked with for hours according to israeli law ultra-orthodox jews are exempt from under tree military service but they still need to receive a deferral notice from the army otherwise they risk being arrested for draft. is putting young visiting the this that's according to new figures only boy who was suitably intrigued to investigate further. 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 the we 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 boycott and make sense would you there's a wrecker and 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 and so it's not like as i know you prefer to go some are a bit more trumpet you 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 that. but 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 with the whole thing like parts and stuff you know it's already great very that bastion of hard even here to say. you're not coming to the u.k. because of political situations so i don't know really should have a new car. some people are choosing the whole day the scenary should say still still travel. america's great i don't know about in denver colorado or where we're from but i can tell you i don't like don't talk very much if you aren't from the us would you go to the us on holiday probably not really why don't. i 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. like you know that you. can come to america ok we're back in moments this is our to trust. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. if you think.

i'm going to talk about football not the or else you think i was going to do. by the way what is it that's lying here. is absolutely no doubt that pakistan has a such and. proven track record sponsoring terrorism influence on things so just evidence of that we have not received and we have more heard anything about. hello again the migration crisis not rocked europe is old but over the claim of e.u. officials but it seems not everyone is singing sin if it continues a pro immigration policy for more. 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 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 arm 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 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 turned or stand the european peoples have come to a historic crossroad. 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 receive the commission has. been of the guardian government come payments 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 not over the plastic coming chance europe.

coming to new coming in we can't let. me can pretend it's really all over with what's on the line of the things new 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 which took a lot of people and only if you have work on the 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. believe because the problems are already here peter all about. china has warned washington it will take all necessary measures to protect its businesses it comes a day after a while away filed a lawsuit against the u.s. government over what the chinese telecoms giant calls an all new constitutional federal on its products but chinese foreign minister said the weiwei case was

clearly a political move. it is fairly obvious to any 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 to support the companies and individuals to seek redress for their legitimate interests under the law we are refusing to play the victim and simon lamb so u.s. authorities accuse while way of trying to bypass international sanctions on iran and have requested the extradition of its chief financial officer from color that the company's also been accused of industrial espionage after trying to reportedly

steal trade secrets from its competitor to mobile washington claims the tech giant engaged in espionage on behalf of beijing. chinese telecoms company was imposed last year which barred federal agencies from purchasing or using its products while ways motives aren't the only thing experts say washington has dragged into its trade war beijing's huge one belt one road infrastructure project is also in its sights the u.s. has been piling pressure on italy to jump aboard the project. we view belts and road initiatives as he made by china for china and initiative we're skeptical the italian government's endorsement 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 us side is lawful as a major country italy knows exactly what policies of its own interests and it can make its decisions independently or rome is expected to officially signed up to the

initiative when chinese president xi jinping visits at 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 or let's go through the belt and road initiative it spawns three continents stretching from china to europe and africa it's designed to connect nearly two thirds of the world's population by linking key cities via road trail ways and ports beijing's pledge one trillion dollars in infrastructure development over the course of the next decade or over the u.s. has expressed security concerns and question china's motives sociologist polo bernardine believes that lee has much to gain from taking part. quiet is because the last numbers they are thinking about it will be surprises to act in

this particular. frankly. i mean. nobody would be. telling us what we have to do at all you are acting for the poor the benefit also for the benefit of the man america if you will be a great battles for god we. thought you would be really really people lives in the mideast they were in. the bottom of the. sea and they are always been there for you there will be a new link in the same great continent of eurasia and i don't see the damage. on the spines and this. has been an exciting couple of days in football champions league title holders real madrid crushed out and choose things well whedon's they saw porto monk chester united qualify for the quarterfinals all three

tensions are running high between india and pakistan over a deadly terrorist attack in kashmir with artillery and mortar 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 one small on the brink of war with pakistani based terrorists attacking indian soldiers and the indian air force and gauging pakistani finances cool heads prevail and prevent escalation managing to safe kind of election pressure in india and military influence in pakistan push the leaders

towards radical decisions and will the cycle of violence in kashmir continue to threaten peace in the region. and we'll start with the indian perspective ambassador a shock that a former indian envoy to china and accept which are referred to at the ministry of external affairs he joins us to help shed some light on the conflict ambassador was are confident the most recent escalation between india and pakistan since there have been contained now with pakistan releasing the captured indian pilot and returning its commissioner to new delhi but the situation is still chance in kashmir is our risk of violence breaking out again. yet the tradition has been there continue as you mentioned when or what has happened that their pension has is winding down they are happy to see that on the interest of pressure pakistan has taken some steps against terrorist groups operating from a fly but would like to be convinced that what pakistan is doing is not merely

cosmetic in nature that they are willing to break the long habit of the sponsoring terrorist activities against india a lot not that problem because i am afraid that this this the cycle off and all terrorist actions on indian soil leading to escalation in tensions will continue.
