population killing about 3000000 kurds so we know about turkey's in the towards the kurdish people and. one has. be very concerned. that in northern syria and sure turkey is trying everything you can not to have it happen because obviously if it incurred the military which the united states that would be devastating but you know mistakes happen and that is the risk of what's happening here so the u.s. is a horribly unreliable for for the kurds it has no friends only interests and the u.s. which is size all the time opposes it in support so. we see this over and over i think the turkish adventure in syria is going to create another bloody conflict in the middle east or did the middle east is
1:05 pm
blowing up is on the verge gain or i think david's going to vote is going to erupt very soon the u.s. they have really betrayed the kurds and this term but the question is now how can we limit the damage. and the war the bloody war that is going to cost thousands of lives. and regards who we're on the side as well as on the 3rd catch sight of president troll post stridently defended his decision to a draw us troops from northern syria claiming american house in no way abandoned the kurds he also issued a stark warning to turkey saying it would face severe reprisals if it commits abuses during the operation. 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. 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 on the economy well turkey has responded to those threats saying it will bow to u.s. economic pressure and that's home donald trump's fun and self in hot water with both democrats and republicans launching skiing that tax on him over his latest decision on syria came up market reports. 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
1:07 pm
already taking a hit so the kurds stepped up and nobody else would defy if we abandon him good luck getting anybody to help america in the future will radical islam ok that 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 over on a product that if when prices the president's decision to withdraw u.s. forces from northern syria as a d.p. to stop development the betrays a cottage on eyes who have been instrumental partners in our mission to eradicate isis we must always have the backs of all and 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
1:08 pm
support anything donald trump supports he'll flip he'll flip flop just like you know his does honestly i don't think he should be there. somebody is going to suffer we stay there they suffer we leave myself in the snow we have reason to stab them in the back with help them as much as the possibly can and that's 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. in the thing you'll know senior doctors in the u.k. were worth about donated blood from the united states in the 1970 s. and eighty's could have been infected with. h.i.v. or hepatitis it was revealed when the minutes of meetings of high level doctors from then were obtained by several british media outlets recently we talked to the founder of a victim support group who shared his from the story my father was born with

1:10 pm
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. well in 2017 and jason evans initiated a public inquiry into the case he claims key files are still missing the latest u.k. government statistics say 30000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis through donated blood from the u.s. in the seventy's and eighty's it led to hundreds of early deaths the exact figures still not clear the british government describes the scandal as
