u.s. turns its back on its kurdish allies in northeastern syria turkey threatens military action in the region plus. tear gas petrol bombs and beatings hong kong pro-democracy protests take an increasingly violent and. 2 2 2 6 6 from sleeping rough to center stage meet the sensational

soprano whose remarkable voice that being discovered on the streets in los angeles . you going to leave the role when you even turned those to me on the buses. and you were a little i wasn't playing indian war a lot of people really. i was monday morning at 9 here in moscow my name's colin bryant all th q with your global news at this hour keeping watch on what's happening in syria for a potential escalation 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 is also seemingly trying to pass responsibility to european state. 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 and i guess they have a look so why american troops are in syria in the 1st place and what 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 the 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 that's going to invade subway look we have made our preparations completed our 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 frontline of almost 500 kilometers turkey's serious it wants america's pet army the s.d.f. which it views as terrorists god yes the f. kurds predominantly aren't going down without a fight the s.c.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 in provoked attack by turkey into an all out war on the entire border to defend ourselves and our people and of 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 joint u.s. and turkish patrols through this plan to save the road until turkey realized what

was going on. limbo america dragging its feet and stretching the tie in the mouth bogus pull line patrols patrol is we're seeing all of these a fiction. come to think of it america's role in syria it's like a dual stop 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 regardless 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 them 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 fully back in syria we're going to be removing our troops to hear a 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. not so 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 are we ever knew the life of a doorstop could be so complicated meanwhile kurds have been rallying outside a u.s. military base in northeastern syria. the demonstrators decry turkey's plans to invade the area and called on the americans to prevent the operation the author of inside syria recently told us 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 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 all 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. more on that ahead this hour a 2nd whistleblower has come forward and appears to have firsthand knowledge of the trump ukraine cole saga result he reports a little later this bulletin. tens of thousands of mouth protesters marched in the pouring rain in hong kong over the weekend a high court there rejected a 2nd attempt to block the deal introduced ban on face coverings the north was originally aimed at diffusing tension by keeping people off the street but that

seems to have backfired. the initial protests over a now abandoned 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 video distressing to watch a taxi driver was badly beaten after he plowed into marchers knocking 2 down to unclear if the incident was deliberate but it didn't stop the crowd from turning on the driver saskia teller reports with images like this coming from hong kong it's a little surprise that people are drawing comparisons to

a horror movie. hong kong 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 crossed a mosque and the democratic means they're using wouldn't be out of place in hollywood horror film the pudge. and. the film's premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed mogs a fact also rate you name it you've got a freepost 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 wideout peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar

to the film's opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own emergency broadcast system. and you will for. all the emergency services suspended for 12 hours. to members urged. to define just like oh ok ok it was a hoax 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 1st 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 ma it in

confusion 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 packing must 2 cases for those who can't just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a fast track residency abroad the options are limited you can go anywhere we came from mainland china and we didn't know the stations were closed so now we can do is a big problem for public transport is for everyone the decision to open or close the station cannot be politically if it's everyone's daily life but if you save it situations for 3 years if you see trees not many people use the phrase and because of those. first 3 we really are friends all the life disperse and fire 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 but 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. i was. i was. i was 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 caves refuse to back down a resolution seems far off so there is no end game that's the infinity war that hong

kong people are willing to engage in as businesses are crushed as fires by and of people are forced to pick sides claims that it's all in the name of peace and democracy are increasingly wearing thin these protests is no longer a pro-democracy protests it is turning to riot what the protesters mauls the engage in violence are young people it is because for the past. decades. the hong kong. government nor to have a strong policy measures to ensure. down to young people after they graduated from school or university they would have high quality jobs the porters start our lord will organize to do nor have a hierarchy to communicable forty's to poor to start running around doing whatever

they like leaving the police nor toys bussed to you are forced to or passed on the study that the whole situation brule necessitate up because external forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate a rich real happened in the short run. they said that there will brighten your monday the city of. seems to have added another to its constellation a homeless woman in los angeles is one hops there off to a policeman filmed her singing in the straight and operatic performance went viral and might be about life around. was. 4000000 people call it

a home 4000000 stories many voices sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one to hear something beautiful. 2 2 2 6 6 6 6 i thank you very very much to give me this opportunity just thank for you again this is my extreme is. that of telling people the real be who it was the whole time people to be their role when given time bills to be of the buses on the trains anywhere in the world i wasn't playing needed more a lot of people really believe that they were really thinking to be different. my feels still every time they feel some.

kind of. very good people and it's a me for them and don't you think that's anybody holding one of those 2 types of people's spirits but my music. i think of him when he's a star and i think that. he will just go right to the top of the charts. you know. definitely want to watch meanwhile striking a tough no worldwide environmental protest to kicking off an extension rebellion activist push governments to take action over climate change time to listen or just hot air and it's all next story in a few moments. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. very dramatic. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. to going to be close this is what. people are. interested always in the water.

protests by about a mental action group extinction rebellion and kicking off in 60 cities worldwide this monday with the 1st already underway in 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.

exon as it's also known was established in london and describes itself as a decentralized movement the pursues its aims through grassroots activism it claims to have a presence in $72.00 countries and has been grabbing headlines by staging a number of protests the americas spoke with 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 but 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 are many ways to get involved. and we don't really place getting arrested above not getting arrested.

a lot of people. extinction of delhi in protest of planned in europe india north and south america and as i mentioned earlier australia among the groups and key demands of the governments declare a climate emergency hope the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2025 we asked the political and social commentators. walk up what they thought of extinction rebellions campaign. 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 opposed 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 demanding 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 all words that come to our somebody's hand our cities can't trust us we're not because our numbers are in the names become clear 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 if we do . need to tackle pollution but i will tell you something you regret you reverse the

we were going to another special edition of going underground from the german capital berlin with britain where we'll get there his former spokes person if you missed part one of the interview it's available on our you tube channel let's just begin with reminding us your role in the crisis in libya and the importance of october as a month for you and for the nation of libya well i was the minister for information and media media and i was the spokesperson for the libyan government and my task was to explain and defend the libyan position at the time and to face the main stream international media which was without

a doubt part of the machine that was aiming at the destruction of the country and october the 20th of course is the date of the assassination of former gadhafi. october is also important month in the history of libya and it's a battle with absolutely new liberal interests well the western invasion of libya and 2011 is exactly 100 years of the italian invasion of libya in 1911 on the 7th of october which led to the accumulation of libya for decades then in 1970 within a few months of the september evolution which can lead khadafi chose the same date the 7th of october to kick out all italian. military and nonmilitary presence in the country and therefore. more liberated from

the military italian a-q. patient after almost 7 decades then within a few months he also. kicked out the british military presence and the american military prison which was the 3rd biggest military presence outside the states after japan and germany all of these acts of liberation came together to kind of conclusion when kadafi decided to fight his last battle. on the city of sirte the cradle of the african union and he fought it with bravery and with determination until his martyrdom but of course he lost the libyan people according to you last right now people are talking about a possible war with iraq.
