it's. their last stronghold in syria in the face of advancing military force. the fight is far from over. the country. evil evil is evil the us democratic party is split over a resolution condemning. discrimination. as figures show young britons are turning their backs on america for their holidays their speculation the president. yeah i can understand why people make sense. for me not to. get smart.

from here in moscow to the world this is our to international hello and welcome to the program i mean in our top story this hour. last stronghold in syria appears on the verge of falling. in the village near the iraqi border surrendered this week to u.s. forces many women and children of also fled the village some of them are the wives of the fighters however they themselves still don't believe it spells the death caliphate.

despite donald trump repeatedly declaring a final victory over america's top general says the fight is still far from over and brings us more and all the. 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 booze 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 who 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 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 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 big goose thorn in the side you could in that vacuum see a resurgence of isis see a resurgent you know they're losing 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. even trying to with the report will middle east studies professor joshua landis believes further setbacks lie ahead in the bottle to defeat isis. 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 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 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 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 a isis is far from over and. whatever claims about this the president is

making are misleading. ok to another story we're covering this friday the u.s. heiser representatives passed a resolution condemning hate and intolerance including an thing semitism on muslim discrimination it was drawn up after democrats omar was accused of being jewish. 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 that can doom anti-semitism 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 hate. how only child how many how many pages does it take to side in the evil evil is evil

well president said the photo is quote disgraceful claiming that democrats have become an fraught with disagreements your skill up and breaking down the story. 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 perjury israel i urge you to retract the statement and engage in fruity dialogue with 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. 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 who are jewish individuals who the jewish people namely because there are jewish she added. to the netanyahu 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 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 play and baby 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 began 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. 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 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 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 caleb mop and r.t. new york. dozens of altar orthodox jews have been arrested in jerusalem it comes as part of a crackdown against conscription demonstrations. yes

. yes. security forces used for students. to use. it. for hours according to israeli law ultra-orthodox jews are exempt from the service but they still need to receive a deferral notice from the wise to be arrested for draft of. young britons are visiting the u.s. in decreasing numbers but is a dollar to double from bully boy who was suitably intrigued to investigate further . the transatlantic road trip we used to be most students dream holiday things like route sixty six or recreating the journeys of the beatniks from all 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 cruel 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 zia's are shunning america because their perch off by none other than the president himself would you share would you shun a trip to the u.s. because trump yeah i can understand why people boycott and make so would you very sure record holiday would it be kind of top of your list of where you want to go not the top line or. i don't know she's never really appealed to me especially with all the poses going on. but i know you prefer to go somewhere a bit more. culturally appropriate. would you want to go to america or just donald trump but you. also personally so you know all the i'll go america which you.

care about done me to i i don't like what he does but like i'd like to guy but it's probably not to my lists but he just said we moneywise maybe i'd like to have me i'm too strong but i think i'm going for a holiday that is very different going to that to live a life seems like rationing everything and i don't think i would choose to live that i think that i'm going on this fight in time and i think i want to but then again you know with the whole thing like price and stuff so yeah it's already great you know everything about us has passed and if you even care to say it was people not coming to the u.k. because of our political situation so i don't think that's a really should have an impact on people choosing the whole day the sioux nation so it's still still travel. 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 try very much if you want from the u.s. would you go to the u.s. on holiday probably not going on where there's no chaos whatsoever and it's still

very very calm on advertising if you like you know that you. can come to america fifteen minutes into the program we're back in moments with greece prime minister locking horns with european officials over immigration see a bit. join me every first week on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

question countries are very reluctant to recognize the fact that that is why mike formally and also to make that they were perhaps stronger in. condemning him or siding against him so quickly in the early stages of the war so. undermine the reconstruction process by the prolongation of sanctions i think it was in countries . as you ation where this is serious reconstructed in a way in which he started to power not russia not by the west and by the g.c.c. or by china. hello again the migration crisis that rocked europe is all but over the claim of e.u. officials but it seems not everyone is singing the same chuen the hungary and pm so

use the very future of the blocks in died if it continues with immigration policies it all of our 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 fifty 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 that is down almost nine. 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 who are 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 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 you 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 to understand that 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 danger 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 good. and government cum 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 that other people are still coming just. to europe close. to new coming in we can live i think in the me you can pretend it's really over but what's wrong deny any of the things new or the poverty 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 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 it's because the problems are already here peter all of our team building. the latest to a long running saga in china has warned washington it will take all necessary

measures to protect its businesses it comes one day after a while we file a lawsuit against the u.s. government over what the chinese telecom giant called an on constitutional federal on its products the chinese foreign minister said the one 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 lamb. 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 kelleher the company's also being accused of industrial espionage after trying to reportedly steal trade secrets from its competitor t. mobile washington claims the tech giant engaged in espionage on behalf of beijing on the chinese telecoms company was imposed last year which barred federal agencies from purchasing or using its products. while ways that motor beijing's huge one belt one road infrastructure project is also in its sights the u.s. has been piling pressure in italy not 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 it's really knows exactly what policies of its own interests and it can make its decisions independently just more on this point rome is expected to officially signed up to the initiative when chinese president xi jinping visits at the end of the month and italy's coalition government has been talking up the benefits as well. 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. but one is the belton road initiative while 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 the city's fire road really is port beijing's pledge one trillion dollars in infrastructure development so over the course of the next decade however the u.s. has expressed security concerns and question china's motives sociologists polo

bernardine believes that lee has much to gain from taking part. really there is a. quietness between the last numbers they are thinking about that you'll be surprised to act in this particular not as in going to frankly. i mean not the full russian nobody would be. telling us what we have to do at all you are acting for the poor to benefit the people and also for the benefit of them an american i think would be a great the battle for god he. points out you know we will be paralyzed in the mideast they were adamant re the people who well let's put your balls the ball the bad things and the ball by we'll. see and then all the stupid been the whole all you will there will be and you will be in the same great continent all the way down and i don't see any potential damage it will do it's on the spines and
