if he had lie news the u.s. turns its back on its kurdish allies in northeastern syria turkey threatens military action in the region. tear gas petrol bombs and beatings hong kong's pro-democracy protests take an increasingly violent. and environmental protests kick off in 60 cities worldwide as extension rebellion activists call for

a shutdown of major infrastructure or government action over climate change but this is all just. what this generation seems to be saying is you've messed things up for long enough you're not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience with the economic advantages that lifted a 1000000000 people and you do not make the earth a better place. good morning from moscow i'm calling bray in the aussie news room start of a new week here at r.t. international here's your world news for this hour the united states says its troops in northeastern syria will not support or be in the immediate area if turkey launches a military operation that effectively abandoning their kurdish allies washington who's also seemingly trying to pass responsibility to european states. the united states government has pressed france germany and other european nations from which

many captured isis fighters came to take them back but they did not want them and refused the united states will not hold them for what could be many years and great cost to the united states stack spare turkey will now be responsible for all isis fighters in the area captured over the past 2 years in the wake of the defeat of the territorial caliphate by the united states our senior correspondent more i guess the next looks of why american troops are in syria in the 1st place the more they're actually doing there now. america's role in syria it's difficult to explain they came to fight isis isis has been all but destroyed in syria but america's staying to fight isis you see what i mean by difficult to explain and people are getting impatient sick of things staying in limbo turkey is done waiting it's going to invade subway look we have made our preparations completed our creation plans

and given the necessary instructions we will conduct this operation on the ground and in the air tanks and troops are flooding toward the turkey syria border we're talking here about a theater wide offensive a front line of almost 500 kilometers turkey's serious it wants america's pet army the s.d.f. which it views as terrorists god and yes the f. kurds predominantly aren't going down without a fight the s.d.f. is committed to the security mechanism framework and has been taking necessary steps to preserve stability in the region however we will not hesitate to send any and provoked attack by turkey into an all out war on the entire border to defend ourselves and our people that are the ones been pushing the idea of a syria safe zone for ages he's got millions of syrian arab refugees he wants to resettle there and there appeared to be progress joined us and turkish patrols

through this plan to save his own until turkey realized what was going on. limbo america dragging its feet and stretching the tie in the mouth bogus pull line patrols and patrols we're seeing all of these a fiction. come to think of it america's role in syria it's like a doorstop wedged with a door halfway open so you can close it and you can't open it and the doorstop does nothing but annoy anyone trying to get in or out to get something done and it has no good reason to be there i mean seriously in a recent congressional report they argued that the u.s. should stay in syria because get this all those defeated isis fighters could potentially theoretically stage multiple prison breaks and become a threat the isis detainee population is

a few prison breaks away from refilling its ranks for the next phase of battle talk about running out of excuses i mean as i saying that you should change your card because you could burst the tire in the future came up with that is that in turn we godless the problem with turkey invading other than the fact that it's an invasion is that there are an awful lot of us troops packed together with the guys turkey calls terrorists and they're still there despite all of trumps humbug about leaving we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly we've taken back the land and now it's time for our troops to come back home it will become another syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now we are 1 for the vatican. we're going to be removing our troops so here are trumps options get out of the way of the turkish invasion by withdrawing troops or stay and risk being bombed by

nato if he leaves the liberal mob are going to go nuts and shout all the louder if he stays well he might have to explain why american troops are being shot at by nato allies. it's a tough choice. ever knew the life of a doorstop could be so complicated. do you not. look. over the weekend because rallied outside u.s. military base in northeastern syria overtaking fans to invade the area and call on the americans to prevent the operation the author of inside syria recently told us that washington is losing its grip over the region. everyone is calculating that there are given the domestic pressure to do something about the syrian refugees that he's going to flip the situation in a moment of u.s.

weakness and send in his troops to wipe out the rest your forces the u.s. is. showing itself to be rather impotent. imperialist power in decline in the middle east at the moment and what's happening in syria and iraq and iran for that matter of signs of that it has tremendous military power has tremendous economic power but it doesn't know how to use it effectively there's no question that the impeachment proceedings and the general domestic turmoil in the united states effects u.s. foreign policy. on to the latest salvo in the impeachment inquiry into donald trump a lawyer representing the whistleblower at the heart of the probe has confirmed that a 2nd informant has now come forward the intelligence officer is said to have firsthand knowledge of events and has reportedly been interviewed by senior officials the mainstream media is also being quick to seize on that. a 2nd a whistleblower is coming forward with accusations the legal team representing the

1st whistleblower is now representing a 2nd whistleblower there is now a 2nd wilson blower in this case just to remind you the so-called ukraine gate scandal came to a head in late september when an in fish looping 20 inquiry was launched into president trump's actions it was based on a whistle blower's complaint about alleged abuses of power by trump during a phone call with the ukrainian president in july the informant though admitted he only had 2nd hand information which prompted some to call the investigation into question now apparently there's a person who claims to have a 1st hand account. reports are now emerging of other examples of questionable conduct by donald trump during his phone conversations with world leaders unnamed current and former white house officials told reporters that they were shocked by the way the president formed over russian leader vladimir putin and pressured former british prime minister to resume a over the u.k.'s contributions to nato investigative journalist dave lindorff told us that more is bound to surface as the impeachment inquiry progresses. what people

don't understand is once you have an. it has powers beyond any other committee and i think a supreme court even of conservative majority would hold that because it's right in the constitution and. in all can get documents. ministration is stone walling earned for years now late term stances. and those kinds of things are going to start coming out to. protest by environmental action group extinction rebellion a kicking off in 60 cities worldwide this monday with the 1st already underway at melbourne in australia ahead of the 2 week campaign police in london rounded up 10 environmental activists after the group threatened to shut down westminster and cripple the british capital's transport networks a possible indication of what's to come some of the movement's members occupied a shopping center in paris over the weekend calling for an end to capitalism and

excessive consumption. acts up as it's also known was established in london and describes itself as a decentralized movement this pursues its aims through grassroots activism it claims to have a presence in 72 countries and has been grabbing headlines by staging a number of protest america spoke to 2 members of extinction rebellion which you can watch in full on r.t. dot com or you tube channel. the types of actions that we want to engage with are disruptive to business as usual but disruptive in a way that is not repellent to observers or outsiders people who may not even consider themselves to be environmentalists or politically active or aware cetera people who are just. paying attention in the world and understand that we are in a crisis and so they will be attracted or drawn into the spirit of the rebellion

there's many ways to get involved in exchange for a 1000000 and we don't really place getting arrested above not getting arrested extinction rebellion protests that are planned in europe india north and south america and as i mentioned earlier australia among the groups key demands that governments declare a climate emergency hold the loss of the biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2025.

we put the issue up for debate. extinction rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing pagan religion and the reason i refer to as a pagan religion is just as all the classic hallmarks of a group of religious fundamentalists a belief that their view is the only view that's acceptable a desire to shut down everything that does not talk to their worldview they fundamental belief that they are in charge and everybody else also go to their beck and call how do you resolve pollution result polluted by technological advancements the technological advancements that extinction rebellion oppose what this generation seems to be saying is you've messed things up for long enough you're not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience in the footsteps of mahatma gandhi and martin luther king jr and malcolm x. and rosa parks and people who decided that peaceful nonviolent public protest.

displays of public outrage but tamed and controlled because don't forget the extinction rebellion and anybody who's involved in political activism or any kind of change agenda they going to use your actions and activities against you look extinction rebellion of demanded effect we have returned to the stone age removal of economic progress a commitment to not grow the economy so essentially the british government for example has committed to being 0 carbon by 2050 which i think is nominally sensible you can't or shouldn't trust our word that how to ask him if he had our city contrasts it or not because our numbers in the names become clearer every single year if i can speak directly into the camera my 11 year old son who was at home with the band hello guys and we had a debate before it came on tonight about does he want to. leave school. take a break for an afternoon or a day to go and protest he was worried about the consequences at age 11 he

understands that the climate is suffering and that rapid change is needed we do need to tackle pollution but i will tell you something you regret you reverse the economic advantages that have lifted a 1000000000 people out of poverty and you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion are lying to you. this is more of monday's headlines to cover a new wave of unrest in ecuador as indigenous groups take the lead in protests against cuts to fuel subsidies. among our stories when we come back.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to us in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello again tens of thousands of masked protesters marched in the poor grain in

hong kong over the weekend high court there rejected a 2nd attempt to block the newly introduced ban on face coverings the law was originally aimed at diffusing tension by keeping people off the street but that seems to have backfired. as you saw tear gas smoke and petrol bombs that was hong kong over the weekend as protesters went all out defying the emergency restrictions several arrests were made but that had little impact on the volatile crowds initial protests over an hour banned and extradition bill has since snowballed into a wider rights movement which is proving difficult to control

a warning that you might find some of the next scenes distressing. the taxi driver was badly beaten after he plowed into marches knocking 2 down it's unclear if the incident was deliberate but it didn't stop the crowd from turning on the man and the saskia taylor reports with images like this coming from hong kong it's no surprise that people are drawing comparisons to the whole movie. hung. hong has gone from being the economic power of the orient to the face of the fight for democracy but the faces of those trying to rust control from beijing's cross a mosque and the democratic means they're using wouldn't be out of place in hollywood horror film the pudge.

the film's premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed modern fact austin rape you name it you've got a free pass and that because of this small window to release all your rage the country becomes crime free for the other $364.00 days it's a small sacrifice for the wider peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar to the film's opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own. to broadcast. since me and you work for. the merchants the service is suspended for our. members urged us to define just like. ok it was a hopes but it was a hoax that actually wasn't that far from the reality of the chaotic mania gripping the streets of hong kong. hong kong had a very dark night because of the extreme acts of the rioters the city's now

cemetery lies to everyone is worried her even afraid shops looted buildings burned the metro disrupted for the fast time in over 20 years shopping centers food shops and banks closed down fearing wolf islands from the vandals a city which was renowned for its efficiency and convenience is now maya didn't confess. and to sorta the instability has spooked the markets and seen hong kong's retail sales suffer the biggest drop on record and while the city's 1000000 as a parking must 2 cases for those who can just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a foss truck residency abroad the options are limited you can go anywhere we came from mainland china and we didn't know the stations were close so now we can do is a big problem for public transport is for everyone a decision to open or close the station cannot be politically if it's everyone's

daily life if you save it striations it with you if you see trees not only for this reason because of. their tree really affects all the life it's also. the entire thing anyway so i think that's kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes of senseless violence while the protesters are engaged in a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience and what of course no image shows the full picture for this undercover police officer who was beaten and with petrol bombs by and incensed mob the line is probably a bit more blood with the lenses of the international media zoomed in on the region there's no shortage of scenes just like this and don't worry if it's a slow day but i'm more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show. the

patch in the film lost 12 hours in hong kong with 17 weeks and counting and as those on both sides of the power kate's refused to back down a resolution seems far off so there is no m. game that's the infinity war that hong kong people are willing to engage. as businesses are crushed as fires battle and if people are forced to pick sides claims that it's all in the name of peace and democracy are increasingly wearing. these protests is no longer our pro-democracy protests it is turning to our royalty the process the malls the engage in violence our young people it is because for the past. decades. the home called government nor to have

a strong policy measures to ensure our. young people after they graduated from school or university you do would have a high quality jobs the porters start our lord will organize to do nor have a hierarchy to come a little boost or forty's to poor to start running the wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police no choice bus to do you ask you to force to pass down the slide that the whole situation. in their society up because external forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the rich rule happened the short run. indigenous groups and workers unions have blocked major roads in ecuador in mass anti-government protests leading to clashes with police in some areas one protest was killed in a head money incident according to the authorities and $20.00 shopkeepers were

arrested for illegally inflating pricing for human goods 50 police officers have also reportedly been taken hostage people there angry a price hikes in the country since fuel subsidies ended there to make a loan terms imposed by the international monetary fund on saturday night protestors in the capital bangkok pots and pans in protest. in response to the term all president has announced the 60 day state of emergency he also said the new reforms will stay in place for some of the protesters told it . is where the people have rights and we want them to abide by those rights we turn to reject the measures of lenin moran and this lucky government and staff of the north american empire you know get the i.m.f. has a bad past does not help the people so we're down to one guy all register would help . and finally for now the city of stops seems to have added

a number to its constellation a homeless woman in los angeles has one hopes that after a policeman filmed her singing in the street or operatic performance went viral i might be about to turn her life around. c was. 4000000 people call a home 4000000 stories 4000000 voices sometimes you just have to stop and listen to warn to hear something beautiful. 2 2 2 2 6 6

thank you very very much to give me this albert soon if you just think are you i gan this is like scene is. that of telling people their real be who it was the whole time people to be there roll with it given time bills to be of the buses on the trains anywhere in the world i wasn't playing medium or a lot of people who really believe that they were really thinking to be different. i feels i still every time they feel so good. news. i don't own the birth of the people who sent me for them and don't you think that's in your blood all you want to just touch people's spirits but mostly. yeah. yeah. i think of him when he's

a star and i think that. he will just go right to the top of the charts are a. little. bit of inspiration to cheer up your monday morning of thanks for watching this is all to international i'm calling brought back with you next global update in just over half an hour she had a. he put them so. big it accept the reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go to beatrice this is what before

3 of them all can't be good that. interested always in the waters about how. they sit. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say throw the balls around morning and most of them money is made. close one on each other on each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex just to get some 20 alive where. you don't care and. so you don't care about anything.

when lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the roaming clusters and protect themselves. when the finance merry go round there's only the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signal. to leave the room for the real news is really. stupid. if.

here. in the very hear. hear. the. millions and millions of years ago out of the fast mighty waters of the pacific ocean a liquid fire. in violence beyond its rules up from the sea. in violence a great beauty was born. these lands were the youngest part of the earth's vast

visible surface the renewed. these islands were unique alone apart. an authentic natural paradise. of all the growing things that existed in the silence 95 out of a 100 or else in the world. i'm sure. there was there as there is no no police known on earth to even begin to compete with these islands in their capacity to encourage natural life to develop free and radically up to its own potential. from the. recent. fight for.
