tear gas petrol bombs and beatings hong kong's pro-democracy protests take an increasingly violent turn. donald trump says it's time to put a stop to america's ridiculous was fast as the u.s. abandoned its kurdish allies in northern syria with during this course is the head of an imminent turkish offensive. extinction rebellion launches a 2 week protest counterpane with eco activists aiming to shut down cities around

the world that's like calling governments to hold the destruction of the environment but how much support is there for the movements. 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 rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing pretty good religion. very well welcome you watching r.t. international with me making arun our top story this hour in hong kong 2 protesters have been charged with violating the newly introduced ban on face masks is the 1st time the law has been applied having the originally been named diffusing tension by keeping people off the streets the activists who are accompanied to court by a peaceful crowd in stark. contrast to the gruesome violence in

a city. where 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 some may find the next scenes distressing at times that 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 clowns from turning on the driver and the actress was also assaulting hong kong on sunday she was hit with umbrella's the other tennis racket while trying to take pictures of protesters vandalizing your front of the bank of china she was later stealing blows each and injured as the scare teller now reports with images like this coming from hong kong it's going to

surprise you to go to a comparison 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 and hollywood horror film the purge. 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 released. all your rage the

country becomes crime free for the other 364 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 broke the still. and you will for the siren urgency service is suspended for 12 hours. the members urged us to define just like oh. 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 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 different situation not many people use the phrase and because of them those. are 3 really experts all of you that i suppose said higher. 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 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. the so. we really. thank you for

the power in the film last 12 hours in hong kong with 17 weeks and counting and as there is 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 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 out of pro-democracy protests it is turning to rival that the protestant moves the engage in violence are young people it is because for the past. decades. the hong kong. government nor. straw polls the measures to ensure. the young people after they

graduated from high school or university they would have high quality jobs the porters start. where organized they do not have a hierarchy to come into the store forty's to put a start of one in the wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police and all choice bus tour you ask you. to pass them is. the whole new situation. in the society because external food has to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the ridge you happened in the short run. donald trump has defended his decision to withdraw america's troops from northern syria saying washington must put a stop to its quote ridiculous the endless wars the white house announced the pullout on sunday night saying it will not be present in the region when turkey

conducts a long planned offensive against the kurdish why p.j. video has already emerged appearing to show us military vehicles leaving their positions near the border with turkey the kurdish forces who are encouraged to use as terror. spithill were instrumental in defeating i so have taken taking antitank trenches they've called washington's withdrawal a stab in the back they're also currently holding prisons full of islamic state fighters america says that in the event of an offensive turkey will be responsible for the detained merton's. 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 i doubt he ever looks at why american troops are in syria in the 1st place and what they're actually doing than 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 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 and 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 edouard has 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 tired mouth bogus pull our load 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 door stop where just with the door halfway open so you can close it and you card

open it and the door stop does nothing but annoy anyone trying to get in or out or 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 for the fact that. we're going to be removing our troops so here are trumps options get out of the way of a 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 are we ever knew the life of a doorstop could be so complicated. more of our headline news on the way plus a new wave of unrest in ecuador as indigenous groups take the lead against cuts to

feel subsidies and try as high stakes are in for that and much more. you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the 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. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the person of those present.

thinks. we fear to ask. welcome back 135 people have been arrested in central london this monday as a 2 week climate protest by extinction rebellion activists gets underway the group is that it intends to paralyze westminster by blocking roads and transport networks hundreds of people have been chaining themselves to view. calls out protesting outside government departments it's part of a worldwide campaign that expected to take place in 16 major cities protesters have

the types of actions that we want to engage with are disruptive to business as usual but all 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's many ways to get involved in extinction rebellion and we don't really place getting arrested above not getting arrested. now among extinction rebellions key demands are that governments declare a climate emergency halt the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2025 from seeing it as

a peaceful nonviolent campaign to potentially holding all the ingredients of an extremist movements 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 don't forget the extinction rebellion and anybody who is 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 sensible 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 see 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 up poverty and you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion are lying to you. indigenous groups and workers unions have blocked major roads in ecuador in a mass anti-government protests leading to clashes with police in some areas over 470 people have been arrested one protester was killed in a hit and run incident according to authorities 50 police officers have also reportedly been taken hostage people that are angry at price hikes in the country since fuel subsidies ended set to meet loan terms imposed by the international monetary fund on saturday night protesters continued to vote.

in response to the term all present around the house announced a 60 day state of emergency he also said the new reforms will stay in place is what some of the protesters told us. is where we look to most the people have rights and we want them to abide by those rights we turn to jack the measures in and around his lackey government in step with the north american empire that the i.m.f. has a bad past does not hold of the people and so we don't want that we already saw what happened with spiegel suffering from hunger to know that. the city of stars seems to have added another to its constellation a homeless woman in los angeles as one heart's there as after a policeman filmed her singing in a subway station her operatic performance went viral and might be about to turn her life around. i don't. have the coupons for me but there are those who believe

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 at future money trends thinks libran may prove very popular but does present danger is. the wildcard with with this is that they're trying to reach all the a bit on bankable spiegel that don't have a big going on but definitely have a smartphone or phone in the family 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 unbreakable the fact is facebook the fact that is so big at the starting point is not a startup this is going to be like mcdonald's and a new brewer on do all of their branches immediately has the potential to become
