look there's not enough 2. tear gas and beatings hong kong's pro-democracy protests take an increasingly violent. dozens of arrests are made as environmental protests kick off in 60 cities worldwide as extinction rebellion activists call for a shutdown of major infrastructure to force government action over climate change but is it 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 by civil disobedience extinction rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing religion the president says u.s. troops have started withdrawing from positions in northeast syria head of a military offensive by ankara their appeal to their allies in washington not to turn their backs on them. live from moscow this is all to international when i'm calling brave the world update this welcome to the program 1st to hong kong then where 2 protesters have been charged with violating the newly introduced ban on face mass it's the 1st time the law has been applied to having originally been named to diffusing tension by keeping people off the street the activists who are accompanied to court by a peaceful crowd. in stark contrast to the recent violence of the city.

the initial protests over a now abandoned extradition bill has since snowballed into a wider rights movements which is proving it difficult to control because the warning that the following video is a big graphic a taxi driver was badly beaten after he plowed into marchers knocking 2 down it's unclear if the incident was deliberate but it didn't stop the crowd from turning on the driver. and actress was also assaulted in hong kong on sunday she was hit with amber alerts and a tennis racket while trying to take pictures of protesters vandalizing a branch of the bank of china she was later seen bloodied. saskia telling our reporter with images like these coming from hong kong it's little surprise that some are drawing comparisons with a horror movie. i don't know one 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. the film's premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed mogs a fact austin rape you name it you've got a free pos 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 wide. peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar to

the film's opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own. to broadcast the still. and you will for the. urgency service is suspended for 12 hours. remember 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 that everyone is worried her even the frayed. 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 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 do cases for those who can just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a fosse truck residency abroad the options are limited the old man can't go anywhere we came from mainland china and we didn't know the stations were close so now we can this 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 but if you save it situations it's very good for your situation not so many people use the phrase and because of them those. are 3 really experts all of the life discourse and higher the entire thing anyway so i think that's kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes upsets us. and

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 burnt 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. going to. the so. the only. thank you. the power 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 by 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 of pro-democracy protests it is turning to royalty the process that moves the engage in violence our young people it is because for the past. decades. the home called government nor to have strong pulls the measures to ensure. the young people after they graduated from school all the university they would have

a hard core easy jobs the poor start. where organized to do more have a hierarchy to come into the store forties to pull to start running the wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police no toys bust sure you escape the tools to be passed on. the whole situation. necessary to eat up because external food is to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the rich rule happened. the short run. ok underway right now in london a clever protest by environmental action group extinction rebellion it's already seen $21.00 arrested including an 81 year old woman ahead of the monday morning rush hour this is what it looks like just outside trafalgar square right now and the meld just about. before the 2 week campaign kicked off police in the british capital also rounded up 10 activists after the group threatened to shut down

westminster and cripple the city's transport networks as part of a worldwide movement starting in 60 cities. protesters have also disrupted traffic in central amsterdam and despite a warning of a clamp down by the authorities dutch police say they've made arrests near a popular tourist attraction in berlin around a 1000 people blocked a traffic roundabout dozens of activists have reportedly been apprehended in australia and new zealand where the protests started hours ago before all this on sunday activists in germany practiced peaceful resistance and mock arrests at that camp in front of parliament and campaign as in new delhi and india staged a mock funeral for the us and in paris hundreds gathered ahead of monday's main event extinction rebellions but in the headlines throughout the year of course with hundreds of activists to rest of along the way.

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 are many ways to get involved. and we don't really place getting arrested above not getting arrested among extinction rebellions key demands of the

governments to play a climate emergency hold the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2020. 5 from seeing it as a peaceful nonviolent campaign to potentially holding all the ingredients to make stream this movement has some of the reaction we've been hearing. 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 the result polluted by technological advancements the technological advancements the 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 demand effects 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 said suppose you can't or shouldn't trust all words that come to our service we had our city contrasts we're not because our numbers 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. taken. great for an afternoon or a day to go and protest i was worried about the consequences 811 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 of lifted a 1000000000 people are poverty and you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion are lying to. the turkish president says american troops stationed in northeast syria have now we're going pulling out of the region ahead of a military operation that ankara has been threatening to imminently conduct but apparently showing u.s. military vehicles moving away from their positions along the turkish syrian borders emerged kurdish forces in the region in turn have mobilized and have begun preparing anti-tank trenches the u.s. earlier said its troops in northeast syria would not support or be in the immediate area if turkey launched an offensive that effectively abandoning their kurdish

allies on top of that washington has seemingly tried 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 taxpayer 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 looks at 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 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 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 tie in the us. 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 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 the spies will have 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 for the fact

that. 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. 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. do you not. look now do you thought they were making a last ditch appeal to the americans to prevent his plans to invade the area. 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 and 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 and the 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 affects us foreign policy. we're watching all the international from sleeping rough to center stage show among our stories off to the break meet this sensational soprano who's remarkable voice that to have being discovered on the streets of los angeles.

you know world of big partisan. 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. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. the world is driven by a dream shaped. thinks

. we should ask. her again pay pal the american online payments company is leaving the team behind facebook's planned digital currency libra some financial analysts are saying that it's pay pal running scared of risk but the firm itself claims that it just needs to focus on its core business without. pay pal has made the decision to go for the participation in the liberal association the ston and to continue to focus on advancing now exists in mission and business priorities as we strive to democratize access to financial services for underserved populations let's break down libor

facebook says it will be used to pay for goods and services on its site eventually though it will widen out so you can make other purchases through phone apps its official launch is planned for next year the whole thing is managed by the labor association at the backbone of its facebook obviously but also $27.00 other firms including visa master card and the british telecom giant vodafone but before it's even had a chance to go live it's already running into some stiff opposition from regulators in a number of countries there expressing fears over the potential do currencies volatility for a start there's also no strict plan for how data ramani will be protected from some germany say they will block libor on their territories and the head of apple tim cook he's also wary about big business muscling in with its own money. 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 risks 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 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 brink of all the factors facebook the fact that is so big and at the starting point is not a startup this is going to be. donald's an ingénue 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 currency does 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 every other major global ad agency in the world. i think on a lighter note then the city of stars seems to have added another to its constellation a homeless woman in los angeles as one hops there after a policeman filmed her singing in a subway station her operatic performance went viral and might be about to turn her life around. was. was. 4000000 people call in a home 4000000 stories for many voices sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one to hear something beautiful. 2 2 2

2 6 6 6 but thank you very very much to give me this albert sound if you just think for you i gan this is like a scene is. telling. the real be who it was the whole time people told me the wrong way to give examples to me of the buses trains anywhere and then when i wasn't playing more of the people really. than they were really thinking of me. feels i filled every top and filled some.

of the. heard people say to me or them and i think that's in your blood all you want to just touch people's spirits but yes. i think of him when he's a star and i think that. he will just go right to the top of the charts. but holding inspiration for your monday thoughts from a aaron has you covered with the developing stories in the coming hours including those extension rebellion protests around the world she's got your next update in just about half an hour this is our team from moscow thanks for watching. we put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be

president and you. want to. have to go right to be for us this is what before 3 of them or can't be good that. i'm interested always in the waters of our. place. 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 lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the most of the conflict i would say. and most of their money is made. close one on each other because he knows each other is

good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complexes gets a 20 year life where. you don't care and nobody cares about you so you don't care mind anything. hello and welcome to cross town where all things considered i'm peter lavelle not long ago it was russia russia russia now it's ukraine ukraine ukraine what partisan hacks in biased media won't tell you is why ukraine has become part of america's political drama you'll only hear it here on crossfire.

cross talking some real news i'm joined by my guest he's a political analyst and editor at innocent internet media project and in london we crossed alexander material he is a writer on legal affairs as well as the editor in chief of the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate alexander let me go to you in london i'm so pleased to have you in on the program here just the 2 of you because it gives you more time to talk about a story that is much more complex and longer than audiences in the west are being given by the mainstream media everyone is talking about the 2016 election well i would go a little bit further back and the very least i'd go back to 2014 with the illegal overthrow of a democratically elected government with the support of the e.u. and the united states now the predicate of all of this the larger the biggest picture of all is nato expansion is to bring ukraine into the nato alliance

why because it will give a reason for nato we exist that's always been their mission they exist because they need to expand and if they don't expand they don't need to exist and of course the cherry on top of the cake is always it's an anti russian moot point so. give us a larger picture or since they want of the word is very popular in the western media give us the predicate of ukraine in america's political drama our head into the world and it i mean you said peter that it goes back to 2014 it actually goes back even before because of course when the u.s.s.r. broke up ukraine which had been one of the big constituent republics of ukraine of the us a son there was this policy of basically keeping it as distanced from russia was possible and this linked up with his policy of western expansion of nato which the western powers had promised the russians.
