a furious backlash. extinction rebellion launches a 2 week protest campaign with activists aiming to shut down cities around the world they call and governments to hold the destruction of the environment but how much support actually is there for the movement. 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 extinction rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing religion. coming live from moscow every hour of the day this is r.t. international from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome. we start in hong kong where 2 protesters have been charged with violating the newly introduced by. on face masks it is the 1st time the law's been applied to having originally

been named out defusing tension by keeping people off the streets the activists were a company to court peaceful crowd in stark contrast to the recent violence in the city. well the initial protests over and abandoned extradition bill has since snowballed into a wider rights movement which is proving difficult to control and just a warning you may find the following scenes distressing a taxi driver was badly beaten over the weekend after he plowed into marchers knocking 2 it is unclear if the incident was deliberate but it did not stop the crowd from turning on the driver. i was also assaulted in hong kong on sunday

she was attacked while trying to take pictures of protesters from 2 icing a branch of a bank of china and with a major scene bloodied and injured. are now reports with images like this coming from hong kong it is little surprise people are drawing comparisons to a horror. 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 and hollywood horrific the pudge. and.

the film's premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed maad fact are certain rate you name it you've got a free pass and that because of this small window to release 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 brokers are still. being used for. the merchants the service is suspended for 12 hours. the members urged us to find 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 a cemetery lies to everyone is worried her even afraid. shops looted buildings and 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 suitcases for those who can't just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a fast track residency abroad the options are limited but all we can go anywhere we came from mainland china and we didn't know the stations were close so now we can there is a big problem for public transport. it's for everyone

a decision to open or close the station cannot be political effects everyone's daily life but if you save its traditions which you have for years the trees not only produce freezing because of them. retrieve media friends all the life is also tired 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 protestors 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 i don't.

think you. really. think you have the power in the film lost 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 fall off. so there is no am 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 thin these protests is no longer of pro-democracy protests turning to royalty the process that moves the engage in violence our young people it is because for the past.

decades. the home call government the north. shore pulls the measures to ensure. the young people after they graduate from to school all to university they would have a hard core easy jobs the porters start. where organized to do more have a hierarchy to come into the store forty's to pull to start of learning the wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police nor toys plus sure you eschewed the tools to be passed on the sly to the whole situation. nessa tate up biggest external forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the ridge really happened the short run.

donald trump person offended his decision to withdraw america's troops from northern syria saying washington must put a stop to its quote ridiculous enlists wars the white house and the pullout on sunday night saying it will not be present in the region when turkey conducts a planned offensive against kurdish forces there kill up and breaks down what we know. northeastern syria u.s. forces that have been intermingled with kurdish forces are beginning to urgently. pak and pull out of the region u.s. president donald trump has announced he's pulling them out as at this point it appears that there are a number of tanks and troops are massing on the turkish border turkey considers these kurdish militias to be terrorists and it appears to be preparing to cross the syrian border to go after them now u.s. president trump after speaking with the turkish president era one has said that there's really no reason for the united states to remain in syria he has announced

that u.s. forces are pulling out this is donald trump the united states who's supposed to be in syria for 30 days that was many years ago we stay to go deeper and deeper into bots who would know him and so it's we will fight where is to our benefit and only fight to win trungpa saying that there is simply no benefit for the united states in turkey now there has been widespread kind of outrage from various figures including many of trump's backers about this decision they argue that the usa is essentially hurting its credibility by betraying these kurdish forces that they have backed they they fear that perhaps isis could research in the absence of a u.s. military presence there saying the united states must remain in syria these are critics of trump's recent announcement we must always have the backs of all and if we expect them to have back the currents were instrumental in our successful fight against isis in syria leaving them to die is a big mistake. this decision to abandon their kurdish allies in turn syria over to

russia iran and turkey will put every radical islamist on steroids shot in the arm to the bad guys demonstrating for the good guys as noted these are many of trunks trump's backers and supporters in the republican party foreign policy figures who are critical of his decision but it is important to note that donald trump while he is withdrawing u.s. forces that he is laying out some pretty clear red lines trumps threat mode seems to be full on as i have stated strongly before and just to reiterate if turkey does anything that i in my great an unmatched wisdom considered to be off limits i would totally destroy and obliterate the economy of turkey i've done before. now the tone of that tweet is not clear it sounds like a threat however some might interpret it as a joke however for the moment it does seem like it could indeed be a threat against turkey but regardless we have quite an international reaction to

trying to move france and germany are essentially begging turkey to reconsider its plans for an invasion to go after the kurdish militias we have russia reminding everyone that both turkey and united states that syria is indeed a sovereign country and that it has territorial integrity furthermore i we've got reports that the kurdish forces are now in talks with damascus about the possibility of damascus protecting them from these potential and pending what seems to be a pending turkish invasion to go after them so it's quite a dramatic move but turkey remains silent at this point as its forces are amassing on the border we see troops and tanks amassing on the border that turkey is silent as it appears that there is a pending crackdown over the syrian border against the kurdish forces that they label terrorists. to another developing story today 217 people have been arrested in central london today

a 2 week climate protests play extinction rebellion activists going on the way the group post said it intends to paralyze westminster by blocking roads on transport networks hundreds of people have been changing themselves to be protesting outside government departments it is part of a worldwide campaign that is expected to take place in 60 major cities protesters have also disrupted traffic and businesses in central and eastern the dreaded berlin despite authorities warning of clinton's dutch police say they made 50 arrests near a popular tourist attraction while in berlin run the frozen people blow by german. authorities say they will stop making a rest for the time being at madrid's police say $33.00 activists were taken to their stations on 3 months to resisting anti riots officers 30 activists have also

been after his industry a new zealand extinction rebellion has been in the headlights throughout the year with hundreds of activists arrested. and. 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 all along extinction rebellions keita moms or the 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 movement here's 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 are 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 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 said suppose you can't or shouldn't trust all words that come to our service we had our city contrast because our number has been in. 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 talk of pollution but i will tell you something you you reverse the economic advantages of lifted a 1000000000 people up and say how do you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion lying to you. or we return to our top story today that of turkey saying that they are imminently going to invade northern

syria into the kurdish area that is after at the united states donald trump saying they were having their troops leave syria starting from sunday night that's led to a lot of reaction including from european countries so let's not go to nickel america fits for his take on the nickel is a political analysis and joins us live from france the country you're in right now has warned that a turkish invasion of north eastern syria could be devastating do you think we will see any concrete measures being taken by e.u. countries against turkey if it doesn't heed cardio to pieces during this assault no i don't think so i think there's going to be a lot of threats before saying at this stage i don't think there's going to be any any anything more than that don't forget that turkey has a very strong asset against the european union today with thousands hundreds of thousands of of migrants with you know has already menaced and threatened in the

past to open its borders if ever there was a problem or a strong threat against turkey i think those are just a lot of strong threats and concerns and a lot of hypocrisy if syria is in a delicate situation today if there are risks for the humanitarian situation it's mainly because some countries like france have been involved in the results in syria for these past years and they have caused the situation how will america's allies overall do you think interpret it's up on them until the kurds. oh very bad don't forget that a lot of these countries i mean france is a perfect example of the model student in the new concern of atlantis campaigns that the u.s. has been waging across the world these present a case and france has abandoned its on the promise you it's abandon its military strength to follow the u.s. in all this kind of patient whether it's south ghana's down libya yugoslavia you mentioned that france was there then all of a sudden down trump is just applying one of his campaign promises and saying we're

bringing our boys back home and france abandon its orphan as many other countries within europe within the european union because they don't know what to do now what are they going to do alone in syria they're put they're responsible over the mess that is there they have no military might this mean of military might to do anything alone and they have no strong political contacts were the french going to negotiate with the syrians the turks the russians the iraqis they have lost all of this all the quotes from contacts that they could have had. generations ago but that they've abandoned to the u.s. and now the u.s. is saying we're going home well you know the truth and to go home to there's another aspect of this the perhaps is being talked about as an aside and that is of course islamic state kurdish forces were instrumental in the fight defeating i what the turkish incursion risk creating conditions ripe for a nice resurgence to think. well that's a lot of what we're reading and a lot of new conservative mainstream media this evening i think we should we should

not forget that very important persons even within the u.s. administrations like michael fay and was the head of the dia 8 who said that the rise of isis was a will of the u.s. administration at that time so western countries that not this countries have been playing with fundamental islamists in creating havoc and this terrible situation in syria so i don't think we should take any sensible word out of these persons and trying to settle the problem of isis in syria today if isis has been reduced to a portion of sitter syria today thanks to the work of the syrian arab army and the help of russia i think that is that's the. better to listen to these these 2 countries to get rid of isis rather than to the western states where brought these people of isis to power in some of the regions in syria these past years how likely is that the kurds do you think will be forced to turn towards the syrian government

for support in the face of a turkish offensive. isn't the kurds made a wrong strategic decision they thought at that time by siding with the us they could carve up some sort of independent state for themselves somewhere in that region and there is there is a situation concerning the kurds however now that the us they should have learned their history better by siding with the us mission or know that the us would have abandoned them in any case if they don't need them anymore and that's what the us has always done with a lot of its allies in the east in the middle east and in other parts of the will i think now that the kurds are going to me there is a chance that there is a war with their with their with the turks in the northeast syria i think after one moment they won't have any other choice than to go back to a site. with the must be are syrian citizens the masses promise them some sort of autonomy some sort of within syria i think the place for them today within the

syrian. state is by discussing with the masses and that's the only way to solve the problem in syria and clear thanks for your time this hour great to have you on the program nick america best political analysts speaking to us live from the front thank you. russia's foreign minister has been holding talks with top iraqi officials this morning as he looks to bolster bilateral relations for also visit comes as the country continues to suffer a wave the deadly unrest in which at least 113 people have been killed and 6 dogs and wounded. the russian foreign minister's 1st visit to iraq in 5 years comes at extremely difficult times for the government here in baghdad since the beginning of last week protests against the leadership that was elected last year have been causing the death and destruction is right now we are inside the foreign ministry where it's safe but the authorities have confirmed that since shoes day more than

$800.00 people have been killed in the streets of the iraqi capital. and the iraqi government has been trying to turn to all kinds of means to stop the chaos in the city the internet was shut down for a while as we were passing through security checks all around the city you could really feel how tight it is the iraqi prime minister has said that he is ready to meet some of the protesters demands although he is confident that for now there is no magical solution to the corruption and the country that is still suffering from the consequences of the u.s.

led invasion 15 years ago. your demands in countering corruption providing job. taking care of the comprehensive reforms are right food. you are expressing that are our main concerns plus we also have to remember what's happening internationally in the region the situation between the kurds in syria and the turkish government also the so-called cold war between iran and saudi arabia iraq is just and between these 2 adversaries. here in the middle east and here is was very elaborate how to say on these issues after he met the iraqi foreign minister we have a common position on how to ease tensions in the persian gulf both we and our iraqi friends believe that this should be done in such a way that the efforts of all players come together north of the expensive schemes that lead to the region splitting and just prescribe who is guilty. ok so i thought

america where indigenous groups and workers unions have blocked major roads in ecuador in mass government protests leading to clashes with police in some areas the latest figures we have over 470 people arrested one protester was killed in a hit and run ins quoting to the authorities 50 police officers also reportedly have been taken hostage at the people there are i agree price hikes in the country since fuel subsidies ended to meet long terms imposed by the international local front on saturday night protesters continued to vent their anger. i. think. in response to the church more protests maranoa known space 60 day state of emergency he also said the new reforms will stay in place here's what some of the

protesters told us. i am not the most the people have rights and we want them to abide by those rights we turn to reject the measures and then ran on this lucky government in step with the north american empire you know i am that has a bad past does not help the people so we don't do one thing only just saw what happened to this people suffering from hunger in argentina. the city of stars seems to have added another to its constellation a homeless woman in los angeles has one heart's 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. and the 3rd. is the cleveland service but there are those who believe that so you've got it all your wildest in terms of people's spirits with the years it.

was. it was. 4000000 people call it home 4000000 stories 4000000 voices sometimes you just have to stop or listen to one to hear something beautiful. just got evicted because i could not have a new source or a source of income maybe my valley was broken but i wasn't born a lot of people really big. 2 2 2 6 6 6 6 6 spikes. over telling people they're real be who i was the whole

time you're going to be very wrong when given time those 3 of the busters trains in your. head. i think of him when you see a star and i think that. he will just go right to the top of the charts. watch this space what a voice well that is how i monday's news is shaping up i'll be back with all the global updates in just over 30 they close now for more great programs beginning in the months.

in his 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 heat and as a parent. i can come up with a logical argument there's a lot of conflict in the games between the teams most of the conflict i would say over balls around money and most of them money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complex just to get some 20 alive where. you don't care anymore no ice cares about you so you don't care might do anything.
