legal liability american basketball faces a backlash from one of its biggest audiences in seoul says that cash there's anger in china than over a tweet in support of protesters in hong kong plus. ecuador really so far in clashes over cuts to fuel subsidies of course. all of the middle of it all. by their choose to the 8th of october welcome to the program for me kevin and the rest of the international live from moscow world news center i'm here with a half hour update so 1st developing story now warning turkey against a military operation in northeastern syria. wallingford greater respect syria's
5:02 am
sovereignty too and joins a chorus of concerned voices which also includes european officials turkey's reportedly already conducted air and artillery strikes in northeastern syria according to local media it comes hours after washington announced it was pulling its troops out of the area and cross also been deploying military hardware along its border with syria or monday video emerged apparently showing american military vehicles leaving 2 of its outposts until recently washington had around 150 military personnel stationed there while kurds in the region are outraged with some leaders saying they will curse the u.s. as traitors is just a taste of what they think about trump's decision. we will service a human shield of nice story it will not allow any aggression against this region when we defeated arsenal terrorists you called yourselves our allies and what we're seeing now the coalition is letting us down we're hearing constant threats coming from turkey and complete silence on the part of the world now where you've been
5:03 am
displaced and suffered a lot that can abide in our have until recently been relatively safe zones reject all intimidations and a part of token it's an acceptable as a way turkey keeps threatening us. peace activist on conflict told us america's exit will leave civilians and kurdish fighters in a really 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 know about turkey's in tip of the towards the kurdish people and one has to be very concerned replay of that in northern syria and sure turkey is trying everything you can not to have that 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
5:04 am
so the u.s. is a horribly unreliable partner for the kurds it has no friends only interests and the u.s. which is size all the time opposes al qaida in support so. we see this over and over . the long term suspicion to withdraw u.s. troops from northeast serious spurred both democrats and republicans to launch a scathing attack on the president he though stood by the 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 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 early on i said don't hurt any of any of our people get hurt big trouble standing in between the
5:05 am
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 still nobody else would defy isis if we abandon them good luck getting any help america in the future will radical islam al-qaeda and i says the kurds will know a lot of what this because they have nobody to count on cause we abandon them so this is the people improve on a lot of people when prices the president's decision to withdraw all u.s. forces from northern syria is a deeply disturbing development that between allies who have been instrumental prognosis 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
5:06 am
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. for anything donald trump supports he'll flip flip flop just like it was honestly i don't think you should be there. somebody is going to suffer the stay there they suffer believe me something else in no way i'm the reason. as much as reports because 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. see doctors in the u.k.
5:07 am
were aware that donated blood from the united states in the 1970 s. and eighty's could have been infected with hiv hepatitis it 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 he's founder of the fact a rate independent him affiliate group who told us the story of his family. my father was born with hemophilia which is a manageable bleeding disorder and he like thousands of others was given this chapter 8 medication he himself was infected with both hepatitis c. and hate cho v when i was 4 years old in 1903 he died of those infections and so that's kind of been the thing that spurred me in to beginning to campaign on this issue and to research into it but i 1st asked for these documents
5:08 am
from the darby emberton n.h.s. 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 their trust gave me the document i know is that 2 pages were missing for. 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 the this revelation was in there. in 2017 jason
5:09 am
evans initiated a public inquiry into the case he claims key files are still missing according to the latest report from the u.k. government 30000 were infected with hiv and hepatitis by donated blood from the us in the 1970 s. and eighty's that led to hundreds of early deaths while the exact figure is still not clear. the u.k. government expressed his condolences to the victims and their families calling the case of tragedy that should never have happened it also says that authorities are open and ready to help with the inquiry jason evidence that 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 this say it's a cover up the important point here is the department how the opening hearings of
5:10 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 but the action just isn't there to back up what they're saying and i think it's time for that to change. families of victims have been seeking justice for decades i can tell ya got a feature length report on the case you can watch it or cite r.t. dot com it's called blood. is too early to say that the anti mask law is not effective says hong kong's chief executive carol lam adding that it usually takes time for new legislation to get the desired result it comes after a long weekend of violence in the city yet again that stretched into monday night.
5:11 am
meantime a tweet from a basketball executive in the us in support of the anti-government protests in hong kong a spot uproar in china and china's state broadcaster c.c.t.v. now as just announced it will not there the national basketball association is games this week over it all the message has since been deleted birth not forgotten as donal quarter explains. activism is in nowadays and american big business is always trying to stay on top of the latest trend is that something might change. in sexual harassment but she says because it isn't.
5:12 am
the. 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 manager general mori have deeply offended many of our friends and fans in china which is regrettable it wasn't long before more he himself had a change of heart i've had lots of junior since that tweet to his in consider the perspectives i have always appreciated the significance support of our chinese fans and sponsors i would hope that those who are upset will know the defending will
5:13 am
miss understanding them was not my intention so why the 180 all of a sudden it could have something to do with a 1500000000 dollar 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 hasn't 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 backlash in china. they have pulled the designer shoes off the market the 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
5:14 am
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. to the nucleus of my belief and think for is difference not just me going to the way it was this would be a pretty short conversation but. i guess it is the organization is the team i guess we know who is leading in this trade war. 3 oil fields because of ongoing protests in the country tensions been building this since the government moved to scrap fuel subsidies which is resulted in price hikes for goods. thank you i thought. the latest wave of protests stone throwing demonstrators clashed with police who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets but $500.00 people have been arrested
5:15 am
since the latest trouble began president him around those declared a 2 month state of emergency now who claims that the bills and the head of another south american country venezuela his country's problems. the tyrant who has activated along with korea destabilization plan. they're the corrupt people who have the food stamps and just disclose the name to make them they're the ones behind this attempted coup to topple the. present writer also said that the government is currently relocating from quito to the city of guy killed more than 400 kilometers south of the capital and r.t. correspondent from spanish channel saw firsthand how protests quickly escalate. 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
5:16 am
morning by around midday and in a split 2nd they turned violent. there was healing. our team was affected by sound bombs and tear gas and flying rocks were a constant threat after 3 hours of violent clashes between protesters and police the streets of quito looked more like who bulls with brought 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 big. it's protests to happen on wednesday that's when indigenous leaders from all around the country are going to come here to the capital and they're going to protest next to the presidential palace. is with a 16 count to 70 moscow time thanks for watching ahead here not international you
5:18 am
join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. again get out a new free in the team next the leader of the french national rally party marine le pen a call for an immigration freeze claiming the french ship is sinking. but we don't have undergone the my garments headlong aggression for the rating and naturalizing around the clock shows that nothing is under control any longer urgently need to end this pillaging of our country which is happening in part due to lax immigration
5:19 am
policy we are demanding a freeze on immigration because a friendship is sinking. you have chosen to make migrants a scapegoat for the country's problems the migrants rather than the financier who ponders our country for the tax evader not disputable in 2018 france registered 123000 asylum applications. so the french prime minister we heard from there also says there could soon be quotas on the number of new arrivals present across. 2 way to that front shouldn't be too attractive for immigrants. the story. all around you can get a sense of the number of people who are living here this is salty 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
5:20 am
survive 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 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. and lot of things are going on here there is fear i see a lot of things people are going mad and there is
5:21 am
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 matter call is getting tough on in what many see is an attempt to stop voters drifting to parties such as marking the pens national rally. we are increasingly going to have to live with waves of migration faith traditions we must organize ourselves 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
5:22 am
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 yet within days of that happening the tents and the migrants return they've been subjected to 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 each countries wrangle over think is a numbers rather than perhaps facing the human calamity that it's so clear to see. the. bunch of. wow.
5:23 am

5:24 am
afghan and u.s. forces have reportedly killed a top taliban commander in an air strike in the east of afghanistan it follows donald trump's withdrawal from peace talks with a militant group last month and a series of terror attacks in iraq the country in recent days at least 10 people were killed and 27 wounded when a bomb struck a minibus carrying army recruits in jalalabad on monday it's not clear who was behind the attack with both the taliban and islamic state active in the area last month a u.s. drone strike targeting islamic state has probably at least 30 civilians. interests were not with islamic state like it when say war without anybody and what can upset that i can accept that body parts are going to sounds. good to us that on the 2nd night the us was just wants to reason with and bought one of these my family members graves 2 of them from my brothers and 5 from my

5:27 am
there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with arguments and there's a lot of conflicts within the games and between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money there most of them money is made. close one on the children's cosimo each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex just to get some 20 alive where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about you so your care might anything. thanks guys that's why that's the survival job. when customers go by you're disappointed. will reduce and lower. that's undercutting but what's good for food markets is not good for the global economy.

5:30 am
china really narrow the scope no this is the exact same stance that china has maintained since the beginning trade and policy have always been 2 separate issues that must be treated as such in fact back in may she had reported that restrictions on state owned enterprises go beyond the scope of trade negotiations and touches on china's fundamental economic system there has been no shift in narrative no narrowing of the scope and no backtracking china has maintained its initial stance to defend its economic sovereignty and urged the us to clearly separate out the 2 issues so that at least a partial deal can get done markets are risk off today as traders have witnessed this bait and switch optimism rhetoric before especially as 2020 approaches and the trouble and ministration and his survival mode foreign policy moves get even more unpredictable as his habit of exerting maximum pressure can further escalate ongoing disputes. and.
