a chorus of concerned voices which also includes european officials turkey has reportedly already conducted or artillery strikes in northeastern syria according to local media it comes hours after washington announced that it was pulling its troops out of the area i'm chris also been deploying military hardware along its border with syria well on monday video emerged apparently showing american military vehicles leaving to all of its own posts on till recently washington how to run 150 military personnel stationed there kurds in the region long time american allies are furious with some leaders saying they will quote curse the u.s. strangers there is just a taste of what they think about the trump administration's decision. it will serve as a human shield of nice story it will not allow any aggression against this region when we defeated. as you called yourself allies and what it was seen 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 we've been displaced and suffered a lot but cannot buy it and have until recently been deleterious save us no means reject all intimidation sums of part of token it's unacceptable in a way turkey keeps threatening us or we developed a human rights lawyer and also a middle east expert for their thoughts on washington's withdrawal from northern syria. 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 i'm sure turkey is trying everything you can. not to have it happen because our b.c.

if it incurred the military went to 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 in the us which is size all the time opposes it in support so. we see this all in all the world i think the turkish adventure in syria is going to create another bloody conflict in the middle east or did the middle east is blowing up is on the video and i think david going to vote is going to erupt very soon the us 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 site. president post stridently defended his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria claiming america is in no way abundant 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 go on. 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 turkey has responded to those threats saying it wants to us economic pressure and home donald trump fund i'm self and hot water with both democrats and republicans launching a scathing a toxin him over his latest decision on syria to scale up and brinks aust troops. 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 if we abandon good luck getting any help america in the future will radical islam al-qaeda and i says the kurds will now lie about this because they have nobody to count on because we abandoned them so this is a win for ron in

a lot of it when price is 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 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 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 we should be there. somebody is going to suffer we stay there they suffer we leave they suffer snow we have reason to stop

them and about we've helped them as much as the possibly can and that's some point they have to be able to start. syria you think it's too soon. probably i just think there's a lot of hypocrisy. ok to a story gathering legs no money will mccrone has issued a rallying cry to french society calling for unity and vigilance in the fight against islamic extremism though the president made the appeal during a ceremony to honor the victims of a knife attack at a police station last week. 1st with the always in the face of islamist terrorism we will find relentlessly civil servants of our police prefecture security and intelligence mortars are of course an essential part of the response to security institutions alone will not suffice the government alone all state services alone cannot defeat the islamist hard drive the whole nation must unite. an investigation into thursday's atrocity fun not the attacker here to what prosecutors call the radical vision of islam the authorities have also admitted that

a number of early warning signs were missed no doubt has led to calls for the resignation of the country's interior minister who claimed in the aftermath of the assault there had been nothing suspicious in the assailants be if you're reporting on spec sure it's. a sponsor pays tribute to those murdered in that attack at the h.q. of the paris police by a colleague suspected of having being a radicalized questions being asked as to how it was possible and where the problems with radicalization in the police in. disturbing information about the attack of 45 year old bone has emerged since he killed full colleagues and injured several others u.s.b. sticks found at his home contained did use of executions and propaganda they also

worryingly held personal details of several police officers and it turns out they were even more signs that could have signalled the attack. despite that all tone was never flagged up to an investigation and even had a top security clearance well thought says interior minister had initially claimed that there had been nothing to indicate a problem but i mean this man is known to have worked in computing he never had any behavioral problems and he never acted suspiciously. and in paris seeing gas led to

calls for his resignation i see it very clearly christoph castor no longer has a place in the interior ministry his resignation would be an honorable action for him i am demanding the resignation of consternation because he has deceived the french he lied about the killers profile by saying he had never presented any warning sign despite the fact he was rather causation was known after the revelations about me behavior and radicalization kasten as position that the killer did not have any behavioral difficulties is untenable he must finally take responsibility and resign and while the interior minister has brushed off those calls anger is mounting within the police force we want him to resign but for everything he. has been nominated he has been a very bad very very poor minister of interior you was he was a joke we are afraid that the problem is much more bigger we we know that some some

cops when the. as inquiry about knowing if the person can come and work in the police some so this is no i don't think that this one is a good one and sometimes people above him know we want this man because we think that to do something. is not follow the decision without. taking the position of. the lowest many are now wondering how many enemies of king within it's being reported 19 officials at the ministry of interior are currently being monitored for islam missed radicalization while around 10 others have been dismissed or resigned the people who knew. were probably very. few feel to say anything because though there was on the line.

there were afraid to be said that there were. big that they were overseas that the didn't care about people were a problem. there was 3 of them that to speak and when you say something in french and the french british. when they say that there is a problem you become you also become a problem and part of the problem so if you don't say anything if you'll notice something anything you don't feel in a sling you have much more chance to get promoted and not to have any problem than to say anything the phrase yet to uncover earn to react to the radicalization you own has cast a dark shadow of security forces problems eroding trust with many offices perhaps now left wondering how many more extremists are hiding in plain sight so let's even ski. ok to another headline stories aqua door

has shut down 3 oil fields because of ongoing protests tension has been building since the government moved to scrap fuel subsidies which has resulted in price hikes for goods. thank you. thank you. in the latest wave of protests stone throwing demonstrators clashed with police who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets there have been around 500 ever since the latest trouble began president merino has the terrible state of emergency the plains ecuador's former leader the head of latin american neighbor venice really or is the hope of. the tyrant who has activated along with korea the destabilization. there the corrupt who have held the food stamps of just disclosed to make them. the ones behind this is tempted to target. them well former

ecuadorian president rafael korea has been speaking to r.t. refuting the accusation against them and saying let him that i know he has no one to blame but himself. it's a difficult time for my homeland this shows the politics of merino in his government he's already been in power for 2 and a half years and he still blames korea for everything economic crisis for security for his political faults and to say that these mass protests are my fault is just crazy. and then he merino is not interested in democracy for him the most important thing is to control power control the ecuadorian public so he create projects that can damage the majority but be beneficial for his goals. nor inclusive of the i.m.f. we're juggling numbers and fooled people by distorting the amount of ecuador's debt

belgium's debt where i live now amounts to 100 percent of g.d.p. eventually the i.m.f. had to publicize real debt numbers i left my presidential post at the beginning of 2017 after that the debt started growing but the problem doesn't even lie with the debt it's all a sham from the start merinos government betrayed the economic program and in general the political program to which people get their votes for they decided on a neo liberal approach to appease the powers they handed over the reins to those powers lost the elections but in the end got control because of marino's betrayal those powers aimed for neo liberalism towards a run for your life politics open up imports to support the interests of major exporters give absolute freedom to banks and minimize the government's responsibility. it is in your dreams you know that man cancelled the previous government program he thought they could create something new and better than before but they achieved only destruction we

left ecuador's economy in a state of growth it was like that until 20172018 this year will see a decline unemployment's risen that lead to instability 500000 ecuadorians are facing poverty yet again and now these austerity measures they are justified by any external factors there was no abrupt drop in oil prices they were already included in the budget there was no earthquake it's just a net economic management how is it possible to curb people's worries now. the history of ecuador has seen this before which is why it's so hard for me to observe all this it's like we've gone back to the past. well as a result of the our people the ecuadorian government has announced that it is temporarily relocating from the capital to the city of kill over 400 kilometers away now a correspondent from r.t. spanish channel has seen 1st hand how quickly some of the protests have escalated.

the air is 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. 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 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 are going to come here to the capital and they're going to protest next to the presidential palace. to the other side of the world now hong kong's leaders say it's too early to say whether they empty mosque law is affective or old car alarm it takes time for new legislation to get the desired result it was imposed during a long weekend of violence in the city that stretched into monday night.

meanwhile a tweet from the general manager of a u.s. basketball team has sparked opera in china he expressed his support for the anti-government protests in hong kong the head of the national basketball association defended the tweet the houston rockets g m's freedom to express political opinions it's a costly move though now it's seen major chinese sponsors cut ties with the team on the n.b.a. chinese state broadcaster c.c.t.v. has pulled n.b.a. games from the schedules this week major sports were bronze in china are also suspending cooperation with the team donald quarter takes us through not of the original tweet has been deleted but not forgotten. activism is in nowadays and american big business is always trying to stay on top of the latest trend is that something might change only. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. to the nucleus of my believe. is there for is not just me going to the way i was or was it would be a pretty sure conversation. i guess it is the organization is the team i guess we know who's leading in this trade war. senior doctors in the u.k. where oh where are the donated blood from the united states in the 1970 s. and eighty's could have been infected with hiv 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 family's story. my father was bald with

hemophilia which is a manageable bleeding disorder and he like thousands of others was given this shot to rate medication he himself was infected with both hepatitis c. and hate should be 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 into research into it when i 1st asked for these documents from the burton n.h.s. trust many many months ago i don't. surely 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 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 and the exact figure is still not clear the british government describes the scandal as

a tragedy that should never have happened the health department also saying it is committed to being open and transparent with the inquiry but jason evans diets that there will be any real assistance given 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 to form a health ministers this is a it's a cobra the important point here is the department how the opening hearings of 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 what they're saying and i think it's time for that to change. well family and victims have been seeking justice for decades our teahouse a feature length report on the case you can watch blood online at r.t. dot com. u.s. forces have reportedly killed a top taliban commander in an earth strike in the east of afghanistan it follows donald trump's withdrawal from peace talks with the militant group last month and the series of terror attacks which have rocked the country in recent days at least 10 people were killed 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 this law makes state active in the area last month a u.s. drone strike targeting islamic state in the province killed at least $37.00.

of the interests were not with islam because they went to war without anybody but this and that i can accept their body parts in this now and. the day after that on the 2nd night the u.s. and i were just launched a bruising and. all of these my family members agree to them from my brothers and 5 from my constant. flow my father went to harvest pine nuts but drones killed him my little brother is crying for him all the time. of my coworkers were killed and i was injured there were over 200 people all workers who could come to earn money i still need to tell the bomber or not the militants but the bomb just.

for the money. but you do not want the americans here in afghanistan to do that they should leave they are liars still the see they can see small things from the year while the so why couldn't the tail on the militants from the north there's a good reason to just want our government to bring us peace we don't need and announce. the news is shaping up this summer a reminder our t. dot com is always in-depth analysis on all of the week's big stories well worth a look see so. join me every thursday on the elec simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.

the way that makes us 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 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.
