i i i. i i. am here more in the headlines this morning as the world anticipates turkey's invasion of syria president promised busy fighting on this is my home over his decision to abandon america's kurdish allies. superseding. reels of a violent clashes over cuts to fuel subsidies a correspondent for spanish channels called to the middle of the protests. to build senior u.k. doctors where the blood from the u.s. given the british patients at the moment in the seventy's and eighty's could have been infected with hepatitis coming up we hear from the son of a victim of the tainted transfusion. the department how the opening hearings of
1:01 am
this inquiry said there's been test a lack of candor and at worst a cover up yet they still will not accept their legal liability. for me kevin knowing the rest of the team here you're watching out international lawyer from moscow with the center i'm here with a half hour update starting in stateside where both the democrats and republicans have launched scathing criticism at president trumper of his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northeastern syria effectively abandoning washington's allies there the kurds in the face of turkey's planned invasion try to justify its move. we've been in syria for many years you know syria was supposed to be a short term hit just a very short term hit we were supposed to be in and out that was many many years ago and we only have 50 people in that area that's
1:02 am
a small sector. and i don't want those 50 people hurt or killed or anything i don't want anything bad to happen our people and i told that to president i said don't hurt any of any of our people get hurt big trouble standing in between the turkish an s.d.f. fighters was not a fight to win or a benefit for the united states why because they're both friends and allies of the usa so if you support one side you're inevitably betraying the other it's a perfect no win scenario and for his decision to abandon the kurds donald trump is already taking a hit so the kurds stepped up when nobody else would defy i says if we abandon good luck getting any help america in the future will radical islam al-qaeda and i says the kurds are now aligned with the stars because they have nobody to count on cause we abandon them so this is a win for on minister when prices the president's decision to withdraw u.s. forces from northern syria is
1:03 am
a deeply disturbing development that between allies who have been instrumental you know a mission to eradicate isis we must always have the backs of all and i say if we expect them to have our back the currents were instrumental in our successful fight against isis in syria leaving them to die is a big mistake losing the reputation as a reliable partner is the main concern after all nobody wants to partner up with a backstabber however donald trump seems to be trying to balance that up now that he's abandoned one partner he's threatening the other if turkey does anything out of what they should be doing we will hit them so hard in the economy so we decided to ask new yorkers if they think that donald trump is taking the right moves should the usa have pulled out of syria so suddenly i do not see. more than anything donald trump supports he'll flip flip flop just like. honestly i don't think he should be there. somebody is going to suffer the stay there they suffer we may
1:04 am
suffer the snow we have arisen stab them in the back we've helped them as much as republican and let some point they have to be able to stand on their own 2 feet syria you think it's too soon. probably i just think there's a lot of hypocrisy meantime turkey's conduct today i'm not tillery strikes in northeastern syria as reported by local media it comes hours after washington announced it was pulling its troops out of the area video yesterday apparently showing american military vehicles leaving 2 of its outposts until recently washington had anything between 10150 military personnel stationed in the region. koblick told us america's exit from syria will leave civilians and kurdish fighters in a vulnerable position. we have to remember that in the 99 days turkey with the substantial u.s. military support by the way really carried out a genocide against its purpose kurdish population killing about 3000000 kurds so we
1:05 am
know about turkey's tippet the towards the kurdish people and. one has to be very concerned replay of that in northern syria i'm sure turkey is trying everything you can not to have it happen because obviously if it incurred the military wrath of the united states that would be devastating for them but you know mistakes happen and that is the risk of what's happening here so the u.s. is a horribly unreliable for the kurds it has no friends only interests and the u.s. which is size all the time opposes al qaida that supports al qaida right we see this over and over. this warning i could do is shut down 3 all fields because of ongoing protests in the country and rest a ruptured after the government's decision to scrap fuel subsidies which resulted in the price hike for goods.
1:06 am
in the latest wave of protests stone throwing demonstrators clashed with police who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets president that imran has declared a 2 month state of emergency grow 500 people been arrested during the unrest in r.t. correspondent from spanish channels in the midst of the unrest in the capital quito . the area still heavy here we have tear gas and smoke this is the aftermath of what is just happened here massive clashes between protesters and the ecuadorian police the protesters mainly students they started peacefully in the early hours of the morning but around midday and in a split 2nd they turned violent. that was really. our team was affected by sound bombs and tear gas and flying rocks were
1:07 am
a constant threat after 3 hours of violent clashes between protesters and police the streets of quito looked more like who bulls with bottles and tear gas cottages scattered everywhere so these definitely been violent and heavy protests but people we spoke to were telling us this is just the beginning they waiting for the biggest protests to happen on wednesday that's when indigenous leaders from all around the country they're going to come here to the capital and they're going to protest next to the presidential palace is where you know the most the people have rights and we want them to abide by those rights we tend to reject the measures and ran and ran around this locking government in step with the north american empire the. america has a bad past it does not help the people so we don't want that we only just saw it happen to people suffering from hunger in argentina. senior

doctors in the u.k. were aware that blood transported there from the united states in the 1970 s. and eighty's could have been infected with a job you have a titers was exposed when the minutes of meetings of high level doctors back then were obtained by several u.k. media outlets now we talk to jason evans founder of the factor 8 independent him of philly a group who told us the story of his father. my father was born with hemophilia which is a manageable bleeding disorder and he like thousands of others was given this factor 8 medication he himself was infected with both hepatitis a and hiv when i was 4 years old in 1903 he died of those infections and so that's kind of been the thing that's me into beginning to campaign on this issue and to research into it well i 1st asked for these documents from the darby emberton n.h.s.
1:09 am
trust many many months ago and initially the trust refused to provide me with the document in question so i had to go to the information commissioner's office who stepped in and the i.c.a.o. did prompt them to eventually release the document to me however the 1st time the trust gave me the document i know is that 2 pages were missing from it so then had to go back to the i.c.a.o. saying you know they've they've missed out 2 pages here and i did eventually get those 2 missing pages and i was told by the trust that that was due to an admin error if we choose to believe that's true and it was on those 2 pages that were originally missing that this revelation was in that. in 2017 jason evans initiated
1:10 am
a public inquiry into the case many files on it are still missing according to the latest report from the u.k. government 30000 were infected with age of the inhabitants has by donated blood from the us and 970 s. and eighty's that led to hundreds of early deaths while the exact figure is still not clear u.k. government expressed his condolences to the victims and their families calling it a tragedy that should never have happened it also says that the authorities are open and ready to help with the inquiry jason evans doubts so there will be any real assistance from the government i don't think the government the department of health of really move this forward at all in recent times the bizarre situation we're in now is of course victims and families say this is a scandal lawyers say it's a scandal civil servants i've spoken to say it's a scandal we've got 2 former health ministers to say it's a cover up the important point here is the department how the opening hearings of
1:11 am
this inquiry said there's been at best a lack of candor and at worst a cover up yet they still will not accept their legal liability despite saying that so we're in a situation where they kind of make the right noises that the action just isn't there to back up what they're saying and i think it's time for that to change victims have been seeking justice for decades artie's put a feature length report together on the case. cast calendar is downright alfonzo a long day and there's change and take change dard. his 1st words were added i will see you're a challenging post you've got 2 years to live. i have no doubt that what happened was criminal. offense concentrate market is
1:12 am
a $1000000000.00 industry these companies how does huge financial motivation to sow these products there are numerous studies showing that doctors were keen to chest x. ray concentrates for insights of its own that patients want gives them says the wrong stoplight. turn the stomach why they would keep me sick each of those years day. and people still die i don't always question or so i tried being hard to live when so many have. just quit tip off you want to see more of that you can see it almost like a home is coming up to 12 now it is fuzzy for them all to hear mosco good morning coming up after the break could american basketball be about to lose out on not one of its biggest audiences over a tweet in support of protest as in hong kong well in that story when we're back.
1:13 am
what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to. have to be right to be close it's like in the fall or in the morning can't be good . i mean. still losing the war. thanks it. seems wrong but. just don't call. me. to say proud to stay active. and engaged with. the trail. once i find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
1:14 am
again good morning these days 29 t. the power of a tweet could invoke wars and careers and well ruin longstanding business relationships case in point that's exactly where the u.s. national basketball association has found itself in rockets executive dead to tweet his support for antigovernment protests in on kong sparking anger over in china where millions watched the games on a place course as a rich source of sponsorship therefore for the n.b.a. the tweets has been deleted but not forgotten as little quarter explains. activism is in nowadays and american big business is always trying to stay on top of the
1:15 am
latest trend is that something might change. in sexual harassment but she says because it isn't. so when the manager of the houston rockets basketball team posted stand with hong kong on twitter it was nothing out of the ordinary right or wrong his bosses clearly didn't support his political viewpoint because the n.b.a. threw him right under the bus we recognize that the views expressed by houston rockets general mused in rockets general manager daryl morey have deeply offended many of our friends and fans in china which is regrettable it wasn't long before more he himself had
1:16 am
a change of heart i've had lots of junior since that tweet to his inconsiderate of the perspectives i have always appreciated the significance support of our chinese friends and sponsors i would hope that those who are upset will know the defending will miss understanding them was not my intention so why the $180.00 all of the sudden it could have something to do with a $1500000000.00 contract signed not long ago by the n.b.a. and a major chinese tech company it's called 10 cent and it broadcasts basketball games in the hundreds of millions of chinese homes last year more people watch the n.b.a. in china than there are even people living in the united states with such a huge consumer base china has an only landed morry in hot water one of my key issue designers recently made a post supporting hong kong protesters on instagram the company received intense back. in china where they eventually pulled the designer shoes off the market the
1:17 am
marriott made a similar mistake when it listed taiwan tibet and hong kong as separate countries on its website beijing shut that site down and the mariette issued an apology starting trouble with china and its elephant sized market might have become a dangerous business practice in the u.s. but the n.b.a. is brave enough to snub an invitation from the white house with trump entrenched in it i don't want to go. i mean that's kind of. the nucleus of my belief and i think for is difference not just me going to the way i was or was it would be a pretty short conversation but. i guess it is the organization is the team i guess we know who's leading in this trade war. hong kong was engulfed by more of others over the weekend where protest has reacted furiously to a newly introduced by an old face coverings. i.
1:18 am
1:19 am
i tell you very clearly we need this bill for political and practical reasons it will give us the means to fight. against demonstrates. the provisions of. the media which means police officers across canada now have access to these tools to protect the public from. the battle face coverings as a colonial era emergency law to quell riots initially implemented when britain was in control there today many of the protesters 2 of london to support them in their stand against beijing according to asia pacific strategic specialist so that's the
1:20 am
biggest hypocrisy of all. 50 years back when we had the worst protests prior to these protests in hong kong at that time the british colonial government used these laws and on the end in the process went about and killed as many as 50 protesters in hong kong this is in them in 1960 s. these were the tools many of the developed countries used to keep many of these of its colonies and other poorer countries in control the hong kong government is using those british colonial era laws and i think the hong kong government should have brought out these emergency era laws much earlier especially where at the time when the protesters were braving the british colonial flag as well as the u.s. flag just to symbolize that those were the tools with which they were kept in check at that point of time. leader of the french national rally party marine le pen's called for an immigration freeze claiming the french ship is sinking. but we don't
1:21 am
have undergone them all the government's headlong crush tolerate or naturalizing they're on the clog shows that nothing is under control and no longer urgently need to pillage an overall country which is happening in part due to locke's immigration policy where demand an ever present immigration because the friendship is sinking in as the immigration question once again stirs up heated debate in france the reality on the ground remains shocking. france's asylum system is saturated today it's as if we're only now feeling the effects of the 20152016 crisis the data is clear indisputable in 2018 france registered 123000 asylum applications. you have chosen to make migrants
1:22 am
a scapegoat for the country's problems the migrants rather than the financier who ponders our country for the tax evader. all around you can get a sense of the number of people who are living here this is salt in need a commune in the northern suburb of paris and it's estimated that there are around 3000 migrants currently living in the northern parts of paris many are living in these makeshift tents that are provided by so they rely on food handouts just to survive that the stress of living on the edge can be explosive and entering camps can be dangerous even for those who are there to offer help now what we've done today is we've asked if we can come in and we've been given permission to film as long as we don't show any faces now some charitable organizations have also been raising the alarm over the situation here saying it evokes memories of the height of the crisis back in 2015
1:23 am
a cataclysmic situation even in 2015 at the height of the migrant crisis we never had such a big spike. and these are some of the fears that have been shared by locals the mayor is doing everything possible he's working on the situation but unfortunately at the governmental level it is taking too long. a lot of things are going on here there is fear i see a lot of things people are going mad and there is a lot of aggression i find this very sad our government accepted these people and left them on the streets polls show a significant percentage of the french feel that there are too many foreigners in france it's half way through his presidency and it's already an issue that mccall is getting tough on in what many see is an attempt to stop voters drifting to parties such as marking the pens national rally and we are increasingly going to have to live with waves of migration faced with this we must organize ourselves
1:24 am
because france cannot welcome everyone if it wants to host people. but the problem with illegal immigrants is not only a french problem it's something that the whole of the e.u. is trying to grapple with and while the countries are struggling to find a workable solution there are more warnings coming up we have to help our european partners even more in patrolling the use external borders we have left them alone for too long if we don't we will once again see a refugee wave like into into 15 maybe even greater than 4 years ago his solution to that is to strengthen patrols on the e.u.'s external borders but that's going to have little impact on the situation already at hand in places like this like some tinny camps like this have been regularly demolished by the french authorities within days of that happening the tents and the migrants return then subjected to
1:25 am
gangs and drug dealers out to profit from their misery and that's exactly what this is this is a life of misery a life of constantly living on the edge all while e.u. countries wrangle over figures and numbers rather than perhaps facing the human calamity that is so clear to see. r.t. at sultani near paris. on sunday night a boat carrying around 50 migrants capsized in the mediterranean 13 died in that disaster 22 were rescued by telling authorities and taken to lampedusa the others are still missing since the new government in a row opened its ports to charity rescue vessels the number of arrivals by sea is doubled according to data by an international organization for migration more than a 1000 people have died attempted across the mediterranean since the beginning of the year meantime in greece over $500.00 migrants have been taken from an overcrowded camp of the young of lesbos to the mainland they were then transported
