that. oh oh no it was. more than fifty protesters are detained in the latest weekend of best rallies in france the military has sparked anger by saying it reserves the right to open fire if it's is in danger lives to gauge reaction in paris was asked for what he did last saturday they burned down and so on i think this is a necessary measure i think bringing in the army as a way of responding to the crisis. the u.s. forces in syria declared victory over the sonic state after capturing its last foothold a week after dawn from the terror had been defeated and tens of thousands to send for london calling for people's photo breaks you can see live pictures from there
10:01 am
right now that's a made ever increasing uncertainty about the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european. fellow the five pm here in moscow you're watching international the nineteenth weekend of yellow vest rallies is underway across france although authorities have banned. areas including key parts of the capital so let's go there right now our correspondent dina course is there for us in medina just tell us what is the situation on the atmosphere like there. well paris looks rather different this saturday specially in comparison to all the other eighteen weekends we saw here in the french capital now at this time and this saturday the streets looks. rama than they usually do now we haven't seen any
10:02 am
violent clashes so with the police or any extreme rioting now several thousand people that have just marched out behind me are those who are going now across the city center they're shouting slogans some of them a broad flags of all it looks a rather peaceful now as you can see behind my back there is a lot of quite tense a police presence here in the city and really paris is a big if to up with security the french government decided to close several iconic a landmarks that used to be the meeting point who violated and we already know that over fifty people have been to teens and several dozens were also find the french government also decided to deploy armed soldiers and the streets of the capital. there would have the soldiers of strictly set out extremely precise they have different modes of action to face or threats or you could go as far as
10:03 am
a pinning fire if they or someone else's life is a threat. well we spoke to some people living here in the city and it really seems that parisians are quite divided over such a measure. i think this is an extreme measure obviously this will not solve everything but at least it will help to avoid further destruction i don't don't know shit i don't think anything good will come of the government's decision to use their armies use his own ass for what he did last saturday and that is learn down restaurants and so on i think this is a necessary measure. it's not the army. shows the failure of the government and the failure. to show you. the minute i think it's the on the open file it will prove that crisis management is not sufficient to bring in the army as a way of responding to the crisis but it's not the problem. well as i said we see
10:04 am
how the police presence across the city center here in paris average thing to make sure that the nineteenth consecutive weekends of protest will see no violence. medina medina course whenever they're reporting from paris. the syrian democratic forces have declared a final victory over islamic state after capturing the terror group's last pocket of resistance. yeah then i met a. democrat on behalf of the syrian democratic forces and all the soldiers and allies that fought with us in the same trenches today we announced the defeat of the so-called islamic state and the end of its ground control in its last pocket in the buy goods region. ok let's get more details now from gas the f. he joins us in the studio emerged and we're hearing there a final victory they say the end of ice will as we know it is that correct not even close not even close isis what happened here is that whatever isis is biggest lives
10:05 am
it was captured many of the five got away somewhere hiding out in the desert you've got to understand the desert we're talking about in southeast syria it's it's mountainous it's there's there's so many places to hide and this is what i suspect that they hide in the ground they hide in tunnels and they sneak out and attack in the middle of the night in wait wait for a month but not even close the other pockets in syria in iraq there's isis affiliates all over africa in afghanistan they hold a lot of territory and they're getting more powerful they're still growing so no this isn't the end of isis what they seize is one big albeit big pocket that has been cleansed with hundreds and hundreds of isis fighters either destroyed or rested so good news any way you look at it but is this the end as it's being sold
10:06 am
by washington no. we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly now we've won it's time to come back 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 we're not get the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon. trump of course this is a political win and that him that isis is being destroyed and he's in a claim will all the credit we be any leader would but is the job done is the mission accomplished so what does this mean then for the remaining troops the four hundred. are there at the moment are they going to be true what again trump has been doing about faces reversing his position for years now first he says they're
10:07 am
going to leave they're going to pull everything out that he says some of in a state that he says actually you know we've decided to pull out now they're saying that some will stay as advisors as peacekeepers as really to dissuade turkey and others from attacking america's allies on the kurds syrian kurds who. finance train. and i doubt that the united states is going to pull out and syria to either if it can find any excuse to stay in this is the predominant view among experts they will seize that reason to stay to keep a presence in syria which is almost the center of the middle east geographical center so it's very important. while we have completed the territorial defeat of isis in syria and iraq. we still have much work to
10:08 am
do we've been clear that the campaign is not over. we will continue to support the coalition's operations in syria to ensure this enduring defeat. which of course flies in the face of what trump was saying that this is ninety eight percent ninety nine one hundred percent i says defeat also american allies france for example we had just a few days ago sending citizen diplomats to washington to ask their nato allies what next they want to know what america plans next because there's a lot of british french other troops stationed in syria as well and from what i gather they aren't all that enthusiastic about staying in syria permanently at the same time we have heard haven't we before a final victory been declared over iceland mean i suppose you would be surprised
10:09 am
then if that changes to what some point well this goes back to what i was saying isis goes on the ground they hide the mosul they're now going back to what they began with extortion assassination thugs basically protection rackets money laundering but as for the final victory again trying to possess the trumpets jump that that is said that you know declared final victory of isis they've been destroyed here they're very it's all my. it's all you know my achievement but they aren't the shore they're hiding out there they're still in those tunnels underground they're hiding among among civilian populations and many of them as zealots they're still as fanatically loyal to isis as they were when it all began i came around to thank you that was against you know there with us with an update well that middle east expert i work half believes it's too early to talk to vice rules total defeat. that's not the end of the fighters the fighters there are
10:10 am
reports that they have been moved elsewhere. these are the state we need always to remember that it is not the. orthodox or extremist islamic. faction that he's operating on syria or iraq it is also al-qaeda affiliated groups that are making it labels who want to sue for what we know for sure is that it's not the sleeper cells that but he's keeping the americans inside syria it's to gain as much influence in that area that's the main reason why they want to keep troops rather than the irish people so. now tens of thousands of people have packed into the streets of central london today demanding a new vote on breaks in fact you can look at some live pictures here it does come amid increasing uncertainty over the case divorce from the on thursday leads agreed to pursue the country's withdrawal deadline pushing the date back to may the twenty

second the prime minister to resign may try to get the british parliament to approve her deal despite it having been rejected twice already however though she's now warning that vote might not take place next week as expected throwing breaks it into for disarray for all the twists and turns now his. remember that simpsons episode where bart keeps touching the electrified cupcake. it all looks a bit like terrorism a six had to get her brags that deal to parliament the woman tasked with leading the country at its grave this tower since world war two hasn't got many people to defend her it's just going oh no no no no no she is the roadblock to this house reaching majority when will she develop and stop. to do was to take this mission to
10:12 am
disaster we reach. britain's departure from the e.u. is likely to be delayed and the wheels off for laying off the brags that bus but if you think about it to reason may wasn't the one that called the referendum in the first place a certain previous prime minister did and she has hammered out that deal with the e.u. like she was supposed to but the politicians in parliament won't sign off on it because some of them are hard bragg's it is that want to stick it to brussels and many of them remain is that want to stick with brussels and pleasing the politicians in a predominantly remain a parliament while carrying out the will of the people is turning into an impossible task some say she's trapped like the time she couldn't get out of this car carrying the poisoned brags that challenge.
10:13 am
even donald trump has had a dig i'm surprised the hell believe it's all gone voices of support are rare i don't always agree with her but i know her to be a woman of coverage and i also feel sorry for her because we have actually given her an impossible task for critics though there's no excusing mase bungled bragg's it with public anger over brags that running high laughing at the prime minister has become a national pastime. come with me and together they seize the day. and evening. what's. the first thing that. the. government. and who can
10:14 am
forget her famous catch phrase bricks it means bricks it years from now to reason may is likely to be seen as the braggs it prime minister her legacy depends on it how message to the people of britain is that she is trying her hardest to deliver britain's departure from the e.u. this i am absolutely sure you the public have had enough your charge of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rials tired of m.p.'s talking about nothing else but bricks it when you have real concerns about our children schools our national health service knife crime. you want this stage of the bricks it process to be over and done with i agree i am on your side she might be forgiven for wondering if there is anyone left on.
10:15 am
reporting there will political commentator andre walker says the trees amaze approach to breaks it has been a failure. trying her best to deliver on the referendum result but she's dead wrong in the way of doing it the withdrawal agreement and the backstop means that unless the irish agree with our trade agreements we end up being ruled by brussels in perpetuity that can't make any sense for a sensible democratic western nation so it's a reason they may well be doing her best and she's she's fighting a parliament that desperately wants to remain in the european union what nobody is thinking about is what the ordinary voters want of people want to leave the european union that's what the majority want so we consulted parliament we consulted the government we consulted the european union and they've all got their views well actually it's time to think about what the public wants i mean really what the public wants is not to extend article fifty and it's not to have any sort
10:16 am
withdrawal agreement it's a lever become a fully independent nation at eleven o'clock twelve o'clock your time next friday is now still to come for you this hour the u.s. special counsel report more or less says there will be no new indictments as he finally concludes his russian collusion probe will have a look at that in more detail just after the break. you know world big partisan group a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

regulations and well long with the invisible hand because when you every put this spent together they will try to fix prices so the us like saying well let's scrap that will end up with market fundamentals really believe. price and price manipulation even more so the problem because profits are the result of the accounting and the accounting is the result of the four big accounting firms that you can pay to have any result you want. welcome back the long awaited report into alleged russian collusion in the twenty sixteen us presidential election has finally been submitted by the special counsel . the confidential document was handed to the justice department which says miller
10:18 am
has not recommended any new indictments has colored mufon with the. report has been submitted the final report from bob muller the special counsel appointed two years ago to look into allegations that donald trump had collude. with russia during the two thousand and sixteen elections and at this point no further indictments are being called for we're hearing from the white house which has spoken up and said the next steps are up to attorney general barr and we look forward to the process taking its course white house has not seen the report does not know what it contains it was simply submitted to the department of justice has long maintained there was nothing for special counsel robert mueller to find he's stood firm in saying that there was nothing to the allegations made against him let it come out let people see it that's up to the attorney general we have a very good attorney general he's a very highly respected and we'll see what happens there's no collusion there was no collusion there was no obstruction there was no nothing it appears that this bob
10:19 am
mohler report is a bit of a failure it hasn't turned up any big indictments related to russia collusion it's been two years long but we've already heard democratic party leaders talking about other options they have for keeping the scandal these scandalous allegations related to trump and russia alive now adam schiff a democrat in congress recently floated this idea for keeping the story going i said he agreed that the counterintelligence investigation may be more important than the criminal investigation because it goes to present threat to our national security whether the president and anybody around him a compromised by a foreign power there's been many occasions in which the u.s. public was told that some kind of bombshell or groundbreaking revelation was about to be revealed but it seems that the two years the report has finally concluded and people are waiting to see what is made public from that report after the u.s. attorney general makes that decision. or the u.s.
10:20 am
presidential hopeful for the libertarian party says that the democrats benefit the most from the problem but what we've seen so far has been basically a joke this whole thing was supposed to find a russia russian colu zhen and so far all the indictments all the guilty pleas. there have been guilty pleas and all the people found guilty in court have been found guilty of things better other than russian collusion this was supposed to be a big whole thing that was going to under under uncover some connection between trump and russia and it turns out to be just a bunch of petty usual nonsense just normal politics this is not rush inclusion this is a waste of time effort and energy so i expected or democrats will drag this out as much as they possibly can not because they think there's anything to be found but because they know that this trial this kind of circus is helping to energize the democratic base helping them to say like look trump is really bad for these reasons
10:21 am
. now you came in gratian officials are facing questions after it was revealed they used bible quotes to reject an asylum seeker from iran i am extremely concerned that the government department could determine the future of another human being based on such a profound misunderstanding of the texts and practices of faith communities i've seen a lot over the years but even i was genuinely shocked to read this unbelievably offensive diatribe being used to just to fire refusal of asylum. it's not the role of the home office to play theologica it is very hard to sell if the person is selling the truth and you need to think about what the person's motivations are but to go as far as to dig out specific verses to try and justify a claim seems extremely bizarre i have never seen anything quite like this when this island seeker has not been identified filed a claim in twenty sixteen anything he said he had converted from islam to
10:22 am
christianity because it is a peaceful religion us immigration officials use quotes then from the bible in a bid to disprove his claim in the vertical chapter twenty six god states you will pursue your enemies and they will fall by the sword before you the book of revelation is filled with imagery of revenge destruction death and violence these examples are inconsistent with your claim that you converted to christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion. well the home office says the rejection letter there sorry was a one off not in line with general policies adding that it will work on more training for staff we spoke with the chairman of an immigration consultancy firm sun more ali he thinks that the home office is looking for excuses to turn down refugees it is surprising that the home office should behave that way but you know unfortunately in some respects it's not surprising because they are quite unreasonable around help for. a looking for excuses to turn down asylum
10:23 am
cases even cases which many people would consider to be quite genuine so you know for sure there we are the home office. quite inventive in a way and can come up with a whole range of reasons to fuse a side of you know which can be completely unjustified for the government's one to have been tough on immigration and the home office are under pressure to be nasty are helpful and so on for sure that's what's happening so perhaps it's not just the home office officials fault was also the government's fault for encouraging officials to be nasty and helpful and that brings you up to date for this hour don't forget they we've got plenty of stories for you to our website you can find that.

10:27 am
what do you think it says about free speech in britain that cambridge university made an announcement this week saying they weren't going to invite you to speak i think it says more about the nature of the universities in general than about free speech in general i mean i don't feel that my dear see invitation has compromised my free speech ability because i have so many platforms on which i can discuss my ideas but i think that it was handled in an unbelievably unprofessional shoddy and cowardly way i mean i was never even notified formally that this invitation occurred i found out about it through the grapevine and i have no all still have no real explanation for why it happened i. you know only able to surmise the reasons i think that arc i was in cambridge in november and i did a very popular talk there and there was lots of student interest and interest out
10:28 am
the faculty of divinity as well and i was really looking forward to working with the experts there on biblical issues and i thought it would have been a very good collaboration for everyone given the popularity of the biblical lecture series i did a year ago and i think it's i think it's sad and i think it's sad and shoddy but i also think it's deeply reflective of how powerful logical the universities have become to be clear you didn't tell them you didn't want demonstrators outside the lecture hall as when you were speaking this is clearly a deliberate vote of no platforming and censorship. well i presume so as i said i haven't had any official notification let's just get to some of the work i mean how key would you say in your work has been your opposition to socialism marxism and of course the best selling book as well given at the moment the word socialism of course has a bit of
10:29 am
a renaissance here with jeremy corbyn and in the united states with but he has you know i'm particularly concerned with the more radical end of the left distribution or the left part of the political distribution as well as the identity politics people on the right. you know there are i live in canada it's a moderately socialist country i think that there's been there's the introduction of certain forms of legislation that have been formulated by the same order left that i think have been beneficial to people. i think the problem is that as far as i'm concerned it's very difficult seems to be very difficult for people on the left to draw a line between what's acceptable and what's not acceptable because obviously the left can go too far and i would say all the emphasis is at the moment on diversity inclusive of the inequity is a sign that the left has gone far too far. i don't think that the radical and of
10:30 am
the democratic party in the us is going to be very successful in two thousand and twenty i'm not think the democrats themselves know that in fact i'm fully aware of the fact that they know. their party is actually moderated to a much greater degree than people are currently aware. yeah i can just say i'm going to you just said yes diversity inequality has gone too far i mean obviously you're speaking to a country which. committed genocide against native americans justin trudeau your leader is arguably trying to change the politics of venezuela as part of a major nation attempts to overthrow governments around the world you think that's a moderate socialist do i think justin trudeau.
