i. i i. i. donald trump threatens to. turkey's economy if it does anything off limits during its military operation against northern syria's kurdish militias the president's warning comes after his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the region triggered a curious. also ahead. tear

gas petrol bombs piecing. democracy protests to accounting creasing we've turned. rebellion launches a 2 week protest campaign with. to shut down cities around the world they call and governments to 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 civil disobedience rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing religion. around the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome to our top story . defended. his decision to withdraw america's troops from northern syria saying

washington must put a stop to its quote ridiculous and lewis wars the white house announced the pullout on sunday night saying it will not be present in the region when turkey conducts a long threatened offensive against kurdish forces there give them up and break stone what we know. northeastern syria u.s. forces that have been intermingled with kurdish forces are beginning to urgently pack 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 bathroom with no end in sight 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 if very much it touch and go situation as it stands so we'll see the number of political analysts for their thoughts on washington's withdrawal from northern syria. i believe that i made him

a minister he should lead to great use the kurds all lose accused american open letting them down now is actually confirming you don't doubt so many because that america is not a liable ally when he decided actually completely from that situation to know syria when he decided to be neutral not just big bomb and bending allies and no no syria and this case this and you will note that if he will create a little problem with him because not only and not of syria but also in north of and out and other parts of the woods. the u.s. role in the conflict is basically over it should be over now the mandate given to the syrian democratic forces that were the u.s. proxy in the region was the pieces and straight from the president of the united states the mouth i says has been defeated and there's no reason for the united

states to be there's no reason for the syrian democratic forces to remain as a proxy army and frankly the why p.g. which make up the majority of the syrian democratic forces threatening turkey's national security and since they're operating on turkey's border turkey has a full right to protect its national security by launching an operation across the border into northeast syria i think those are just a lot of strong threats and concerns and a lot of receipt if syria is in a delicate situation to date 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. let's now turn attention to hong kong where 2 protesters have been charged with violating the newly introduced facemasks it is the 1st time a law has been applied. having originally been aimed at the fusing attention by

keeping people off the streets now the activists were coming to court by a peaceful tried in stark contrast to the recent violence in the city. the initial protests over and abandoned extradition bill house and snowballed into a wider rights movement which is proving difficult to control warning you may find the following scenes distressing a taxi driver was badly beaten over the week. after he plowed into marchers knocking 2 down it is unclear if the incident was deliberate but it did not stop the crowd from turning on the driver. doctress was also assaulted in hong kong on sunday she was attacked while trying to take pictures of protesters something

rising a branch of the bank of china on this later saying love each. other no reports with images like this coming from hong kong it wasn't surprised people are drawing comparisons to a horror movie i don't know what 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 cross a mosque and the democratic means they're using wouldn't be out of place and 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 free pass 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 i never meant to be and you will for . all the urgency service is suspended for 12 hours. remember the words. it's fine just like. 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 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 foster 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 this 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 it's very good for your situation not so many people use the phrase and because there. are 3 media experts all agree that i still said hire 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 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. 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. thank you.

thank you thank. you. thank you. 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 kate's refused to back down a resolution seems far 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 battle 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 our pro-democracy protests it is turning to royalty the process the most the engage the volunteers the young people it is because for the past.

decades. the home called government nor to have straw polls the measures to ensure. 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 nor have a hierarchy to come into the store forty's to pull to stop one thing wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police no toys bus to you s.k. little tools to be passed on the sly to the whole situation. necessary to eat up brick dust and external forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the rich real happened. in the short run. more than 200 people were arrested in central london this monday has

a 2 week climate protest by extinction rebellion activists got on their way the group has said it intends to her allies at westminster by blocking roads and transport networks and hundreds of people have been chanting themselves to be protesting outside government departments as part of a worldwide campaign that's expected to take place in 6 the major cities but we know that protesters they've also. in disrupting traffic and businesses and central office or dumb madrid berlin despite authorities warning of dutch police say they made 50 arrests near a popular tourist attraction while in berlin around a 1000 people blocked traffic roundabout german authorities say they will stop making arrests for the time being in madrid police say $33.00 activists were taken to their stations on 3 arrested for resisting anti riot officers 30 activists to be enough are headed in a strange new zealand extinction rebellion has been in the headlines throughout the

year with hundreds of activists arrested. 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. well among extinction rebellions key demands there's quite a few are the governments to clear a climate emergency hole for 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 you're 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 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 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 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 if we do . need to talk of pollution but i will tell you something you regret you reverse the economic advantages that have lifted a 1000000000 people up and say you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion. let's turn attention now to south america where protests are continuing to grip ecuador knows indigenous groups and workers unions vent their anger over the government's decision to scrap fuel

subsidies it corresponded with r.t. spanish was out one of their demonstrations on monday. but he says it was peaceful on till police turned up to disperse the crowds firing tear gas demonstrators since the rallies began last thursday some of which have been violent over 470 people have been arrested one person it was. the protesters have been blocking roads and highways 50 police officers have also been taken hostage in different parts of the country president moraine ohio has responded with a 6 the day state of emergency refusing to scrap the new reforms here's what some of the demonstrators told us. is clearly not the most the people whose rights even want them to live by those rights which is going to jump from has risen and around his lucky government step of the north american empire. i am that has if that past

does not help other people and so we don't do one thing only just saw what happened to speak oh yes suffering from hunger. russia's foreign minister has been holding talks with top iraqi officials this monday he looks to bolster a bilateral relations circle of rovs visit comes as the country continues to suffer a wave of deadly on wrist in which at least 113 people have been killed 6 fellow isn't further wounded. the russian foreign minister is 1st v. 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 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 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 why. sergei lavrov have 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's guilty. pay pal

the american online payment company is leaving the team behind facebook's plan digital currency libra some financial analysts suggest pay pal is running scared of risk but the firm declaimed it just needs to focus on its core business for not. pay pal has made the decision to go for the participation in the liberal association the star and to continue to focus on advancing know exists in mission and business priorities as we strive to democratize access to financial services for underserved populations or outlets brick libra die on facebook says it will be used to pay for goods and services on its site and eventually other purchases through phone ups its official launch is planned for next year it will be managed by the libra association funded by facebook and $27.00 other companies including visa master card and british telecoms giant vodafone but before it's even gone live

it's running into some stiff opposition from regulators they have expressed fears over the potential new currencies volatility there's still no strict plan for how data on money will be protected france and germany by the way stable block libor on their territories on the head of apple tim cook is also worried but 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. a libra association acknowledges the risks but sais into looking forward to the great changes that the new currency will bring the editor of future money trends thinks libra may prove very popular but those present dangers. the wild card with this is that they're trying to reach all the. people 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 west right now because nobody is approaching the on brink of all the factors facebook the fact that is so big and the starting point is not a start up this is going to be like donald's and a new brewer on do all of their branches immediately has the potential to become a big hit and 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. the city of stars appears to have added another 2 it's called selection a homeless woman in los angeles one heart's there after a policeman filmed her singing in
