6:03 pm
he did last saturday burned down restaurants and so on i think this is a necessary measure so. it's not the army is mission shows the failure of the government and the failure of our petition is so you. know i think if the army opens fire it will prove that crisis management is not sufficient i think they're bringing in the army as a way of responding to the crisis but it's not a solution to the problem yellow vests protests continued for the nineteenth weekend but this saturday it's a different location it is less violent the butt of the movement continues. the syrian democratic forces declared a final victory over islamic state of to capturing the terrorist group's last pocket of resistance. yeah there no medical what thirty of the mcleod on behalf of the syrian democratic forces and all the soldiers and allies that fought

6:05 pm
a political win the political message that big isis on klav has been destroyed and not as what trump is saying 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. jumped back and forth declaring victory saying there's another battle another victory so we'll see how long it will be before the next time they declare a last victory and what will this mean then for the four hundred u.s. troops that are still in syria where there's there's a few hundred. futures a border crossing between syria and iraq the united states was quick to jump there stablished the presence they've kept it for years it basically cut off syria and iraq so an iran iraq damascus syria route is impossible while those
6:06 pm
troops are there basically the united states holding out for along with the rebels there is a strategic it is a pain for the syrian government it's. basically a thorn in their side and nevertheless there's a lot of united states allies on the ground syrian kurds for example who they've armed to the teeth and my bet is and many other pundits experts predict this that the united states will stay to safeguard those allies syrian kurds against. while we have completed the territorial defeat of isis in syria and iraq. we still have much work to do we've been clear that the campaign is not over we will continue to support the coalition's operations in syria to ensure that this endure the troubles jump that that is said that you know declared final victory of

6:09 pm
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 brake that challenge. even donald trump has had to 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
6:10 pm
a woman of coverage i also feel sorrier for because we have actually given her an impartial trot 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 let's see. how. anything like that. and who can forget her famous touch phrase bricks it means bricks it years from now to reason may is likely to be seen as the braggs it prime minister that her legacy depends on it her message to the people of britain is that she is trying her hardest to deliver britain's departure from the e.u.
6:11 pm
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 rounds 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 process to be over and done with i agree on your side she might be forgiven for wondering if there is anyone left on her. political consultant klitzman marotta explained why every step in the briggs process is only making the situation war complicated. when briggs it was first announced as an idea as a concept and there was no meat on the bone as to what the concept of what the process actually would mean and we start off in a place with such uncertainty is no surprise us to the situation room now so unless
6:12 pm
the identity of breaks it is made clear that the disruptions and stalling methods will only continue i think the sentiment right now in parliament is that. it's almost an impossibility of this deal going through and if it does go through it will go through under very pressured measures which means and peace in parliament won't vote with what they believe is to be the best way for forward but will do it because the time pressures are so tight which almost holds parliament to runts and saying this is the only deal we have and you better put it through because you're certainties are too big and too widespread to even imagine. the long awaited report into alleged russian collusion in the twenty six thousand us presidential election is funded being submitted by special counsel robert muller the confidential document was handed to the justice department which says that
6:13 pm
miller hasn't recommended any new indictment with details is kelly. report has been submitted the final report from bob muller the special counsel appointed to years ago to look into allegations that donald trump had colluded 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 troubles long maintained there was nothing for special counsel robert mueller to find he 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 miller report is a bit of
6:14 pm
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 are compromised by foreign powers 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 on poor u.s.
6:15 pm
presidential hopeful for the libertarian party says that the democrats benefit most from the probe. what we've seen so far has been basically a joke this whole thing was supposed to find a russia russian called lucian and so far all the indictments all the guilty pleas and 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 russia 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 look trump is really bad for these reasons.

6:18 pm
the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. a canadian opposition lawmaker has lashed out at the country's prime minister calling him a fake feminist in a fiery parliamentary session and show rumpole accuse just untrue of silencing powerful women in an ongoing corruption scandal the use of the term their ministry of great powers one more time if this kind minister is such a man that's why you see the former attorney of the former attorney general who's a lawmaker mentioned there was one of the first to blow the whistle on the bribery case that is shaken the canadian government to its core jodi wilson raybold says
6:19 pm
she was pressured by trudeau to drop an investigation into canadian engineering giant sensi level m i like companies one of the world's biggest construction firms allegedly it paid ninety eight million dollars to get deaf ear officials to secure lucrative contracts including the world's biggest they're a geisha and project. well he's now accused of being a fake feminist trudeau had earlier heaped praise on those who defended women's rights and proudly declared that's exactly what he does but critics claim he was just looking to score cheap political points being a feminist is the right thing to do but it's also the smart thing to do i'm going to keep saying loud and clearly that i am a feminist men should be feminists as wow i am proud of that maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind.
6:20 pm
there's lots of things you do here that are feminist as a man but here's a simple one. is not about holding true to one's values it is not about actually having a code of ethics it is about winning elections you know government has made it such a priority they have used accusations of sexism they have used the term feminist to prop up their party so much that other conservatives are almost forced to bring this up in the conversation because they have made it such an important political debate so if your party is going to be about equality half
6:21 pm
women half men in the parliament that is going to be the hill that your party guys on that you better stand on if you're going to use that as a weapon well then be prepared for that to be used as a weapon against you cheer it out when you don't live up to your own values this will certainly make it a closer election than i initially thought and i think the conservatives could have a chance at taking things continues down this road of scandal after scandal. you came gratian officials are facing questions after it was revealed they use 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 justify refusal of asylum it's not the role of the home office to play theologica it is very hard to believe the person is telling the
6:22 pm
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 one of the asylum seeker who has not been identified far that claim in twenty six thing in which he said he had converted from islam to christianity because in his opinion it was a peaceful religion that immigration officials have use quotes from the bible in a bid to disprove that 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 the converted to christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion the home office says the rejection letter 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
6:23 pm
some who think that the home office is simply 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 you know quite unreasonable around help for. a looking for excuses to turn down asylum cases even cases which many people would consider to be quite genuine so you know the unfortunate there we are the home office. are quite inventive in a way and can come up with you know whole range of reasons to refuse asylum you know which can be completely unjustified you know unfortunately governments want 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 for for encouraging officials
6:24 pm
to be nasty and helpful. i'm staying with this a one off international my colleague nicky gavron will bring you latest updates at the top of the hour. i put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to be rich. but you want to be close to see like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the walk. join me every thursday on the all excited i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
6:25 pm
i want to shout out to get up on soldier that i. suppose i was honestly had left it out of this was the one. most of it was a version of. the bush. years now and i'm saying not to give them a second there how you and myself and remember how much that you have done just by now. you need regulations and well long with the invisible hand because whenever you put respond to gether they will try to fix prices so in the us it's like saying well this crap that will end up with market fundamentalists really believe in price and
6:26 pm
price manipulation even more so the profits. those profits are the result of the result. that after a time say we're going underground as washington and the e.u. continues to recognize president as leader of france despite today's nineteenth week of violent protests across the country leaving thousands dead or injured coming up with a show that a good psychologist professor jordan peterson elevated by neo liberal war supporting media like the new york times and guardian comes to going on the ground and the first muslim woman to sit in parliament british pm on a suit in a british media political class complicit in deadly islamophobia all the civil coming of a days going underground the first the rise of identity politics is long been
6:27 pm
accused of masking the horrors of neo liberal stereotype of disguising class conflict as the driving force of the march of history but on next guest sees not only identity is the enemy to fulfilling lives but marxism and socialism joining me now from toronto canada is clinical psychologist on the international bestselling author of twelve rules for life an antidote to chaos professor jordan peterson jordan welcome to going underground let's just begin with 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
6:28 pm
was never even notified formally that this invitation occurred i found out about it through the grave. fine and i have no will still have no real explanation for why it happened. only able to surmise the reasons i think that arc i was in cambridge in november and interest out 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 marginal 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
6:29 pm
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 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
6:30 pm
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 an acceptable because obviously the left can go too far.
