region into panic mode the turkish president baird one hinted that his army is just one step away from entering syria to start an offensive against the kurdish militias there however there is one big obstacle to u.s. troops on the ground however a little later donald trump tweeted that his soldiers are ready to get out of there and that was really something that baffled the kurds they called it a stab in the back although donald trump eventually pedal back and said that they were only relocating several dozen troops and in fact we kept on hearing mixed messages from the state department pentagon and the president himself so i asked the russian foreign minister what he thinks about these kind of contradictions and how it's possible to work with the americans when this is the case. with news

it's hard to say what's wrong with america's actions in syria but they are riddled with contradictions and exhibits the impossibility of negotiating with washington donald trump claimed he would withdraw u.s. troops from syria and other countries but after taking office he's gone back on those promises and my guess is it will be the same this time around such a frivolous approach can aggravate tensions in the entire region and so must be avoided as we've repeatedly told the u.s. this thought they'd understood that nothing's changed another important point that the russian top diplomat made was the fact that at the end of the day everything will have to be agreed with the government in damascus which is a difficult task for all the parties on the ground but it will be up to them not up to those who. leaving syria if we are to believe the american president now when it comes to the tricky relationships between the americans and the kurds there was a history of real ups and downs and here's

a report by my colleague dan of on that it seemed impossible sounded like crazy talk and yet it happened a moment of unity between republicans and democrats as they both condemned america's disloyalty to its kurdish allies the person who united states is in danger of losing the mandate of heaven this is that. which allies in syria or elsewhere in the middle east will fully trust the word of president trump in the future the thing all of these politicians pundits and channels seem to forget though is that the kurds i used to waking up to a groundhog day of american betrayal the only difference is that it's been going on for more than half a century and hasn't been funny at all. in

the fifty's and early sixty's the cia pushed the kurds to revolt against baghdad as part of the efforts to overthrow their leader a bill karim kasim eventually he was toppled by a coupe but the new ruler wasn't a big fan of ideal of kurdish independence so he bombed them into submission bombed with napalm kindly provided by the united states. the kurds seem to either have a short memory or a forgiving heart because in the 70s the u.s. was back on their good side iraq and iran were involved in a border dispute and washington was covered the supplying the minority with weapons once again pitching them against baghdad but then iraq a. iran kissed and made up and all of a sudden the kurds were on their own being blown to pieces as they are supposed transatlantic guardian angel was watching idly even the americans at the time

admitted that keeping their involvement under wraps was simply no excuse this policy was not imparted to our clients who were encouraged to continue fighting even in the context of covert action ours was a cynical enterprise hoovered action should not be confused with missionary work. fast forward to the eighty's and for the us it was the golden decade of big hair metallic umma dawn and m.t.v. for the kurds it was well just another decade of more u.s. betrayal in the late eighty's saddam hussein unleashed his chemical arsenal against them an atrocity looking bound to drop the wrath of the world's policeman but it was still a long time before saddam was to turn from friend to full so american wrath didn't go further than statements like these we want to maintain good political and

economic relations with iraq but the issue of chemical weapons gets in the way of that. in 2003 it looked like the u.s. was finally ready to make amends for its decades of forsaking the kurds helping them was among the pretexts for the invasion of iraq but then even in washington many took such goals with a pinch of salt the kurds have every reason to believe or think that they will be betrayed again by the united states or softening the person in fact the spectacle of our inviting turks in to this war earlier trying to bribe them into it could not have been reassuring to the kurds even under the turks before trial against betraying the kurds that is your point yeah surely your point isn't that because. if we trade them in the past we should betray them this time and i think we should just we will we will not will not yes they did in 2007 the u.s. let turkey have its way with the kurdish rebels in iraq as ankara launched

a lethal bombing raid against them this is of course nowhere near you full list by 2019 america had left the kurds for dead a few more times both in iraq and syria. american traditions go beyond partisan lines america loves having turkey on thanksgiving going to the pumpkin patch for halloween and launching fireworks on the 4th of july screwing the kurds over is nothing but a decades long political tradition for america and they will abide by it be the democrat or republican. u.s. senate intelligence committee has published a new report on alleged russian interference in the 2016 presidential election the documents authors claim the simply disappeared based internet research agency attempted to use social media to swing the vote in donald trump's favor more

broadly to sow distrust in american democracy the committee found that internet research agency sought to influence the trying to 16 u.s. presidential election by harman hillary clinton's chances of success and supporting donald trump at the direction of the kremlin. however no evidence is provided in the 85 page report to back up the allegations. that the miller probe also pointed the finger at the internet research agency but in july a federal judge ruled there was no evidence the ira was connected to the russian government the kremlin has branded the leave intelligence committee report as just a rehash of old allegations the 2nd director of the room poured into cheat i mean macand him says the report proves nothing. never says a house built on sand is what i would say the it's quite interesting because the report begins with the assumption that the internet research agency is an agency of

the russian government the judge friedrich back in july admonished mauler and his group to stop referring to concordance to ira as more of the russian government because it can't be proven here's something interesting one of the 1st sentences in the report in the summary says quote the committee's ability to identify russian activity on social media platforms was limited so here they admit the basically they have no way of identifying which groups are russian or not even though the whole report is that the russians are behind it all and you know they're just simply hasn't been any proof yet they keep repeating the same old lies hoping that no one will know the intelligence committee's new report also rages raises the alarm over the growing popularity of r.t. it accuses the channel if using need cheap to spread propaganda and says that r.t. has a far wider reach than suggested by the number of subscribers and mcadams again told

us why the us has beef with r.t. . americans are sick of hearing the same garbage whether it's on rachel maddow on m.s.n. be here on fox news on the right it's always the russians someone's always ready to get us we've always got to go to war americans are sick of it they're sick of the never ending wars and so they turn to our because they want to hear something different the united states government and the new york harbor and interventionist would like nothing more than to absolutely destroy the that's why they for a start the america to register as a foreign in shit they do or why alternative voices to get out. when it comes to environmental threats climate change currently dominates the debate but a new report does predict another potential catastrophe on the horizon a shortage of phosphorous the continued supply of 4 straight 1st lies is that underpin global food production is an imminent crisis the rock phosphate deposits on which the world depends not only finite but some are contaminated and many

located in geo politically unstable areas are phosphorous is essential for all life it takes part in many fundamental biochemical processes for example creating d.n.a. but it also has commercial applications to use why do you use the fertilizer of phosphate compounds in houston steel production however demand for the element has been soaring and among the concerns raised in the report is a lack of mines to cope with this demand existing mines it says will be depleted in 80 years time the rule so worries to you regarding the lack of substitutes for the chemical as modern allies is polluted water i guess sandra of kin gave us his ideas there on how to avoid shortages. phosphorus is in a central essential nutrients for plants for us to grow enough food to feed even today's world we need millions of tons of the rock where i think is important in

cases like this is to understand that the way we've used this mineral in the past is incredibly inefficient and crosses pollution when it leaves the fields in agricultural fields so it's sort of a no brainer to me to focus ever more on more precise use of the fertilizer if there's a way to just precisely target for each plant the amount it gets that's very different than having it so abundant that it's and up running into the ocean it's pretty well known and charted where the phosphate rock exists on the surface if the supplies got tight enough that we were worried about global agriculture people get pretty inventive pretty quickly about finding you know either more efficient ways to use it or new ways to extract it that would make the shortage look silly in the long run the washing off the company a small back again with more stories and the headlines at the top of the.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is what before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. best to. fund.

in the age of trump what has happened to journalistic standards and competence in the media not long ago it was generally agreed that politics was the art of the possible no one news narrative must prevail. and all others must be vanquished there's a state of affairs serves the public interest. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard 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 conflict within the game and between the 2 teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of them money is made. close one on the
