a military operation in northeastern syria calling for ankara to respect syria's sovereignty to rather joins a chorus of concern voices which also includes european officials so he has reportedly already conducted 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 has also been deploying military hardware along its border with syria on monday video emerged apparently showing american military vehicles leaving 2 of its outposts until recently washington had around 150 military personnel stationed there kurds in the region are outraged with some leaders saying they will host the u.s. as traitors here's just a taste of what they think about trump decision. we will serve as a human shield of nursery it would not allow a new aggression against this region when we defeated terrorists you called

yourselves our allies and would it was seen as the coalition is letting us down we're hearing constant threats coming from turkey in complete silence on the part of the world now where you've been displaced and suffered a lot but. have until recently been drilling to save his own. intimidations on the part of turkey it's an acceptable is a way to keep keeps threatening us. peace activists down kovalchuk told as america's exit will leave civilians and kurdish fighters in a vulnerable position. we have to remember that in the $99.00 days turkey with substantial u.s. military support by the way really carried out a genocide against its per kurdish population killing about $3000000.00 kurds so we know about turkey's 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 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 partner for the kurds it has no friends only interests and the u.s. which is size all the time opposes al qaida that supports the right we see this over and over. presidential palace justified the move on threatens reprisals if steps out of line in syria we've been in syria for many years you know syria was supposed to be a short term hip 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 and i said don't. any of any of our people get hurt if turkey does anything out of what they should be doing we will hit them so hard in the economy well ankara has responded to trump threats saying it wasn't about a u.s. economic pressure and at home donald trump's found himself at home water with both democrats and republicans launching scathing attacks on him over his latest decision on syria as are more powerful. 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 isis if we abandon him good luck getting anybody to help america in the future will radical islam al-qaeda

and i says the kurds are now aligned with us because they have nobody to count on cause we abandon them so this is a win for on a minute when prices the president's decision to withdraw all u.s. forces from northern syria is a deeply disturbing development that betrays allies who have been instrumental you know a mission to eradicate isis we must always have the backs of all allies if we expect them to have our back the kurds 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 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 support anything donald trump supports he'll flip he'll flip flop just like you know his does honestly i don't think you should be there. somebody is going to

suffer the stay there they suffer relieve myself so no we have reason to stab them in the back we've helped them as much as we possibly can and that some point they have to be able to stand on her own 2 feet of syria you think it's too soon. probably i just think there's a lot of hypocrisy. when you talk to in the u.k. we're aware that donated blood from the united states in the 1970 s. and eighty's could have been infected with hiv. oh 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 talked to jason evans founder of the fact a 8 independent hemophiliac told 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 factor 8 medication he himself was infected with both hepatitis a and b. 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 into beginning to campaign on this issue into research into it well i 1st asked for these documents from the guardian births in n.h.s. trusts 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 promise 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 a public inquiry into the case he claims key files are still missing according to the latest report from the u.k. government 30000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis by donated blood from the u.s. 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 its condolences to the victims and their families calling the case the tragedy that should have never happens it also says that authorities are open and ready to help with the inquiry jason evans doubts though that there will

be any realistic students 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 of how the opening hearings of this inquiry said there's been our best 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 what they're saying and i think it's time for that to change the families and victims have been seeking justice for decades r.t. has a feature length report on the case you can watch blood on our website r.t.

dot com. live too early to say if the un team are always not affective that's the that's according to hong kong's chief executive kerry lamb adding that it usually takes time for new legislation to get the desired results but this comes after a long weekend of violence in the city that stretched into monday night. it was it was. meantime a tweet from a basketball executive in the u.s. in support of anti-government protests in hong kong has sparked uproar in china and

the country's state broadcaster c.c.t.v. has just announced it will not add the national basketball association games this week between tao since been deleted but not forgotten as don quarter explains. activism is in nowadays and american big business is always trying to stay on top of the latest trend is something change. and sexual harassment but she says this is 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 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 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 on the signing 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 nike's shoe designers recently made a post supporting hong kong protesters on instagram the company received intense backlash. in china where they eventually pulled the designer shoes off the market but 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 marriott 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. to the nucleus of believing that the fruit is difference not just me going to the way it was it would be a pretty sure conversation but. i guess it is the organization is the team i guess

we know who's leading in this trade war. ecuador has shut down 3 or oil failed because of ongoing protests in the country tension has been building since the government moved to scrap fill subsidies which has resulted in price hikes for the. thank you. and the latest wave of protests started throwing demonstrators clashed with police who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets around $500.00 people have been arrested since the latest trouble began president elect him right now has declared a state for the march to the sea the things i could always call a nice and the has of another south american country venezuela for his country's problems. the tyrant who along with korea the destabilization. there the corrupt people who followed the food stamps and just

disclose the name to make them. the ones behind this attempt to the tarp of the. well president also has said that the government is currently relocating from quito to the city of quiet kill more than 400 kilometers south of the capital and also a correspondent from our 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's 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 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. bottles and tear gas cottages scattered everywhere so these definitely been violent and heavy per. tests 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 are going to come here to the capital and they're going to protest next to the presidential palace. watching on c.n.n. financial still to come europe's my current crisis for trying to change the world double way.

the way that nations try to recreate a gold standard is by posing tariffs on each other to even things out and they creates an enormous bureaucracy and it creates an enormous stage for banks to print . money and contracts and it creates a need for lawyers and it creates a need for all kinds of administrators which is great for them but it's a drain on the economy because our money could go into actually productive parts of the real economy supporting real jobs with real wages and real g.d.p. growth. the world is driven by shaped by one person.

thinks. we dared to ask. welcome back the leader of the french national rally policy meridia palin has called for an immigration freeze claiming the french ship is sinking. but you don't have undergone the my garments headlong aggression 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 policy we are demanding a freeze on immigration because a friendship is sinking. you have chosen to make migrants the scapegoat for the country's problems the migrants rather than the financier who ponders our country taxes you not hear disputable 2018 france registered 123000 asylum

applications. a french prime minister we heard from there also says there could soon be quotas on the number of new arrivals president mccraw no the added weight to this claiming france that shouldn't be too attractive for immigrants shola dubinsky takes up 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 survive now the stress of living on the edge can also be explosive in 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. 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 getting have to live with waves of migration faith traditions we must organize ourselves because france cannot welcome everyone you'll be if he wants to his 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 border we have left them alone for too long if we don't we will once again see a refugee wave like into winter 15 maybe even greater than 4 years ago his solution 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 e.u. countries wrangle over figures and numbers rather than perhaps facing the human calamity that is so clear to see.

oh why a paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in vain you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.

seem wrong but all. just all. i mean you get to shape out of disdain he comes to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. chance to look for common ground. hello there i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report that show that goes there.

hey max by the way you know it's just a week and a half from today that we will be imposing tariffs big tariffs on european goods this is a bit of a shock in the past came out of the blue we were in these trade wars cold wars civil wars we had all these wars flying back and forth alone behold suddenly we start sanctioning well imposing tariffs on european goods and this is based on a w t o ruling that they decided that in fact air bus had provided $7500000000.00 worth of subsidies to air bus from the european union nations so we get to impose some and of course child picks out all the nice foods if he doesn't apply you know he famously it likes things like hot dogs and hamburgers and burger king stuff and donald's and junk food so he's applied it to things like stilton cheese ing gouda

and stuff like that not bring. one. you know this is what happens when you take the gold standard away from the world economy the way that nations try to recreate a gold standard is by imposing tariffs on each other to even things out and it creates an enormous bureaucracy and it creates an enormous need for banks to print . money and contracts and it creates a need for lawyers and it creates a need for all kinds of administrators which is great for them but it's a drain on the economy because that money could go into actually productive parts of the real economy supporting real jobs with real wages and real g.d.p. growth but we are opposed to gold standard of course by many decades now and so the need to create layers and layers and layers of bureaucracy and tariffs now new tariffs is what happens when you take away the gold standard eventually we will go back to the gold standard as we've been saying that will come back as soon as this .
