wrong joins a chorus of concerned. he says which also includes european officials turkey has 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 is 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 coked in the region are outraged and some leaders saying they will curse the u.s. as traitors here's just a taste of what they think about trump decision. will serve as a human shield of necessary it will not allow in their aggression against this region when we defeated terrorists as you called yourself allies and what i would say no the coalition is letting us down we're hearing constant threats coming from
9:03 am
turkey in complete silence on the part of the world now why you've been displaced and suffered a lot at 10 abidin have until recently been relatively safe zones only intimidation center part of token it's an acceptable is a way to keep keeps threatening us the peace activists down cavalli told us america's exit will leave civilians and kurdish fighters in a vulnerable position. we have to remember that in the 99 days of turkey with the substantial u.s. military support by the way really carried out genocide against her but kurdish population killing about 3000000 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 i'm sure turkey is trying everything you can not to help it happen because obviously if it incurred the military which the united states that
9:04 am
would be devastating for it 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 elko right you see this over and over. president try and pass justify the move and threaten to reprisals if on course steps out of line in syria. 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 i said don't
9:05 am
hurt 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 and perhaps respond that the trans threats saying it won't bow to u.s. economic pressure and at home donald trump's found himself in hot water with both democrats and republicans launching scathing attacks on him over his latest decision on syria is not he's kind of more purports. 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 current stepped up when nobody else would defy isis if we abandon him 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're. so this is
9:06 am
a. lot of when prices the president's decision to withdraw u.s. forces from northern syria is a deeply disturbing development that betrays allies will have been instrumental you know a mission to eradicate isis we must always have the backs of our 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 part. 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 trump supports he'll flip flip flop just like you know honestly i don't think you should be there. somebody is going to be stay there they suffer really if they saw snow we have reasons we've helped them as much as we possibly
9:07 am
can and that some point they have to be able to stand on her own 2 feet syria you think it's too soon. probably i just think there's a lot of hypocrisy. senior doctors in the u.k. were aware that donated blood from the united states of the 1970 s. and eighty's could have been infected with hiv or hepatitis it was exposed to in the minutes of meetings of high level doctors back then were obtained by several u.k. media outlets now we talked to jason evans he's the founder of the factor 8 independent hemophilia 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 factor 8 medication he himself was infected with both hepatitis a and hiv when i was 4 years old in 1903 he died
9:08 am
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 but i 1st asked for these documents 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 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
9:09 am
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 reports from the u.k. government 30000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis by donated blood from the u.s. in the seventy's and eighty's well 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 never have happened it also says that all thirty's are open and ready to help with the inquiry jason evans doubts though that there will be any realist and for the government i don't think the government the department of how to really move this forward at all in recent times the bizarre
9:10 am
situation we're in now is of course victims and families say this is a scandal or 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 that the action just isn't there to back what they're saying and i think it's time for that to change families the victims have been seeking justice for decades r.t. has a feature length report on the case you can watch a bad blood on our website r.t. dot com. it's too early to say the anti mask law is not effective say hong

9:13 am
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 opportunity since that tweet to hit and. the perspectives i have always appreciated the significant 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 all of a 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 only landed morry in hot water one of nike is shoe designers recently made a post supporting hong kong protesters on instagram the company received intense
9:14 am
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 marry up 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 those kind of. the nucleus of believe that the fruit is difference not just me going to the way i was or 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. has shut down 3 oil fields because of ongoing protests in the country tension has been building since

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 the friendship is sinking. you have chosen to make migrants the scapegoat for the country's problems the migrants rather than the financier who plungers our country tax review not disputable in 2018 france registered 123000 asylum applications the french press prime minister we heard from there also says there could be quotas on the number of new arrivals present mccraw nearly added weights to base claiming france shouldn't be too attractive for immigrants so it depends he takes up the story. or own you can get a sense of the number of people who are living here this is soul to need a commune in the north. and suburb of paris and it's estimated that there are around $3000.00 migrants currently living in the northern parts of paris many are
9:21 am
living in these makeshift tents that are provided by association they rely on food handouts just to 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 it's at the governmental level it is taking too long. a lot of things
9:22 am
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 that our government accepted these people and left them on the streets and the 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 machall 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 increasing to get to live with waves of migration faith traditions we must organize ourselves because france cannot welcome everyone. 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 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 it's so clear to see. the.
