has been charged with violating the newly introduced ban on face masks it's the 1st time the law's been applied having originally been aimed at diffusing tension by keeping people off the streets the activists were accompanied to court by a peaceful crowd in stark contrast to the recent violence of the city but 2. the initial protests over an hour abandoned the extradition bill has since snowballed into a wider rights movement which is proving difficult to control a warning that some of the next video you might find distressing to watch a taxi driver was badly beaten after he plowed into march knocking 2 down to

unclear if the incident deliberate but it didn't stop the crowd from turning on the driver of the saskia taylor reports with images like this coming from hong kong it's little surprise that people are drawing comparisons to the horrible. 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 wrest 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. 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 free pos and that because of this small when. 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. urgency from the still. and you will for the. urgency service is suspended for 12 hours. to members urged us 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 disorder 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 just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a foster residency abroad the options are limited but we can't go anywhere we came from mainland china and we didn't know the stations were closed so now we can go back is a big problem for public transport is for everyone the decision to open or close the station cannot be politically it affects everyone's daily life if you save it situations it's very different situation not many people use the phrase and because of them those. are 3 we really are friends of the that i suppose said. 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 and 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 more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show. thank you thank you. thank you thank you. the patch in the film last 12 hours in hong kong was 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 end game that's the infinity war that hong kong people are willing to engage in as businesses are crushed as fires back on and as 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 in to our royalty the protestant. engage in violence our young people it is because for the past. duties. the home called government nor. strong policy measures to ensure our. young people after they graduated from school or university they would. high quality jobs the poor destroy our lord will organize

to do more hell for hierarchy to communicable still forty's to poor to start of learning wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police nor choice bust to you they're scared of fools to pass then it's likely that the whole situation. in their society brick dust external forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the ridge real happened the short run. on a much brighter note the city of stars seems to have added another to its constellation woman in los angeles as one heart there after a policeman found her singing in the street or operatic performance went viral might be about to turn her life around.

it was. 4000000 people call in a home 4000000 stories 4000000 voices sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one to hear something beautiful. 2 2 2 6 6 6 6 but thank you very very much to give me this albert sound if you just think for you again this is like seen as. that of telling the world their real be who it was the whole time people told me the wrong way to give me trouble is the meat of the buses the trains anywhere in the world i wasn't playing medium or

a lot of people really beat them they were really thinking of the different. fields i filled every time they feel so good. night of the birds of the people and it's amazing for them and don't you think that's in your blood oh he was just touched people's spirits but mostly. yeah. 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. protest by environmental action group extinction rebellion

a 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 and 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. as it's also known was established in london describes itself as a decentralized movement that 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 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 are.

extinction rebellion protests are planned in europe india north and south america and as i mentioned australia among the groups. that governments declare a climate emergency hold the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2025 west political and social commentators my bandsaw and andre walker 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 are 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 our words that come to our service we had our city you

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 hollow guys and we had a debate before i 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 are poverty and you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion are lying to you. this says r t from moscow the u.s. is turning its back on its kurdish allies in northeastern syria with turkey poised to launch a military operation in the region it's our next story when we come back. you

know world a big part of the new law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad 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. in. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal there is. no

day or thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back the united states says its troops in northeastern syria will not support or be in the immediate area if turkey launches a military operation there effectively abandoning that could allies washington's 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 i guess they have no clue 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 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 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 and 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 joined us 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 tired out bogus 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 dual stop wedged with a door halfway open so you can close it and you can't open it and the door stop 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 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 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. knutsen south all the louder if he stays well he might have to explain why american troops are being shot at by nato allies the tough choice. every new life of

a doorstop could be so complicated meanwhile kurds have been rallying outside a u.s. military base in northeastern syria. look at these. demonstrators decried turkey's plans to invade the area and called on the americans to prevent the operation author of inside syria we said told us washington is losing its grip over the region. everyone is calculating that 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 air forces the us 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. pay pal the american online payments company is leaving the team behind facebook's plan digital currency libra some financial analyst suggests pay pal is running scared of risk but the firm itself claims it just needs to focus on its core business for now. pay-pal has made the decision to go for the participation in the liberal association the star and to continue to focus on advancing the exists in the sion and business priorities as we strive to democratize access to financial services for underserved populations. break down labor for you then facebook says it'll be used to pay for goods and services on its side and eventually through phone apps for other things as well its

official launch is planned for next year labor will be managed by the labor association facebook is a the root of all that but also $27.00 other companies on board including the credit card giants visa master card also the british telecoms giant vodafone but even before it's got going it's running into some stiff opposition from global regulators they've expressed fears over the currencies potential volatility there's still no strict plan on how the data money will be protected from germany so they'll block libor on their territories and the head of apple tim cook has also spoken out against it i really think that a currency should stay in the hands of countries i'm not comfortable with the idea of a private group setting up a competing currency a private company shouldn't be looking to gain power this way the labor association acknowledges the risk but says it's looking forward to the great changes that the new currency will bring the editor of future money trends thinks libor may prove

very popular but does present dangers. the wild card with with this is that they're trying to reach all the bankable spiegel that don't have a bank account but definitely have a smartphone or phone and then we have the facebook app and that's where they can compete with basically. anything and everything that's the wild wild west right now because nobody is approaching the on bankable the fact is facebook the fact that is so big and at the starting point is not a starter this is going to be. donald's and a new brewer on do all of their branches immediately has the potential to become a big hit and in that is the problem because this is true as it is not burgers it's a big deal so. if it does move forward there's the potential for abuse they want to know everything about you what better than what you do with your wallet that is going to help them compete with google better in with every other major global ad

agency in the world. indigenous groups and workers unions have blocked a major road in ecuador in mass anti-government protests leading to clashes with police in some areas one protester was killed in a hit and run incident according to the authorities and 20 shopkeepers were arrested for illegally inflating prices 50 police officers of also reportedly been taken hostage people there are angry of price hikes in the country since fuel subsidies ended there to meet loan terms imposed by the international monetary fund saturday night protesters expressed their fury at the situation. in response to the turmoil president has announced a 60 day state of emergency but he's also said that the new reforms will stay in place here's what some of the protesters told us. is living up to the people have rights and we want them to abide by those rights which is going to reject the measures and then ran around this lucky government in step with the north american

empire that i am that has a. fyrst it is not how the people so we don't want that. to happen to these people suffering from hunger in argentina. unique life like robots that look the way you want to mimic facial expressions and can even work for you the technologies of the future now is the here and now in a russian companies already sold dozens worldwide. the creation is called android robo c and it produces believe it will become indispensable at home and at work $35.00 countries around the world are already taking advantage of the technology and use the robots as consultants administrator and office employees they can greet people talk to them and answer questions 'd 'd. this is the 1st humanoid 100 in the world where not only mimics the human appearance this is also able to integrate into business processes.
