moscow thanks for joining us at r.t. international i'm daniel hawkins welcome to the program. the kurdish military forces claim to have repelled an attack on a border town in the northern syrian province of raka earlier today turkey launched a ground offensive against kurdish groups and islamic state terrorists in the region this comes after a 1st phase of airstrikes on 2 northern towns and video footage shows thousands of locals fleeing the area following the launch of the turkish operation the syrian democratic forces say 5 civilians have been killed in the offensive also accused of deliberately targeting civilian areas. what locals have been saying about the situation. america and other countries should protect us they're committing sin here our children women is there really no mercy let everyone stand up for us arabs foreigners sin sin. you know this is an occupation we

are a peaceful people we live calmly work to our own business it is a crime here look here on the bus real to the people here look at this car do you see you soldiers there there are children in their own way ma'am. defensive photos donald trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the region in his latest statement the president defended his move saying the kurds didn't help the us during world war 2 he's kind of open has more on the latest developments tensions are certainly high and u.s. president donald trump has stated that he is eager to have all u.s. military forces out of the area in which the turkish offensive is taking place furthermore trungpa stated that the captured i sill fighters will be transported from the area to an undisclosed location this is what u.s. president donald trump said we have no soldiers in the area. we've been talking to

turkey for 3 years they've been wanting to do this for many years as you know they've been fighting each other for centuries we were put into this battle interjected it was supposed to be a 3030 day period and we've been there for many many years we are. taking some of the most dangerous isis fighters out we've taken him out and we're putting them in different locations where it's secure. now trump basically gave the green light for turkey to launch its operation and trump's critics have harshly criticized him for this move saying the united states is essentially abandoning an ally in the region however the turkish foreign ministry seems to have met with mike palm pale and they say that they have reached a common understanding with the u.s. secretary of state after they launched the offensive the meeting took place now there has been a strong reaction from europe but with many european states denouncing turkey's

move let's take a listen. to. the street to scope. as we speak. you should look to good results. to detention of. friends now the president of iraq has denounced the action from turkey calling it a grave escalation that will cause untold human suffering and empower terrorist groups now the head of nato stoltenberg the nato secretary general was speaking up and he urged turkey to act with restraint in saying that its actions should be proportionate however stoltenberg there are bird did confirm to reporters that turkey which is a member of nato has legitimate security concerns and that its planned offensive is

in response to sue legitimate security concerns that are presented to turkey now on thursday there is going to be a un security council meeting in regards to the situation with the turkish offensive in northeastern syria. that's going on now to investigative journalist on syria some of the movement rick. thanks for joining us as always the millions of. burial lots of refugee camps comes with prisoners from as well how should the concerns should we be put into operation in the region. well i think we should be very concerned it's clearly a violation of international law and it's not many times you get russia germany the u.k. the usa and saudi arabia all agreeing and yet they are all saying that. they're all condemning this this move now the u.s. said that he thought it was a bad idea but it's true they withdrew the the u.s.

troops that were on the border but it's important to note that they have not they have not moved out of out of syria they've just moved back 30 kilometers. and withdrawal that you're talking about of the american troops it's being called a betrayal by because what was the u.s. allies in the fight against islamic state is that how you say it. well no 1st and foremost the u.s. has no business being in syria serious. its own country the u.s. . the kurds have allowed them to opportunistically to become a proxy force for the u.s. but and this may be the end result they may finally realize that they cannot that the they cannot trust the u.s. but. just as turkey's invasion of syria is illegal so is the u.s.

the 12 u.s. bases that are strong across eastern syria you mentioned a rare moment of international unity with multiple countries multiple leaders condemning or at least expressing concern about this operation here the u.n. security council is going to meet over this issue can you expect any sort of concrete action against time career any sort of consequences for what's going on here. well i hope so i hope there will be some concrete actions and i hope this backfires big time on on prime minister or president now ertl one. basically there's one lie after another and one it's claims this is going to bring peace and stability to the area that's that's obviously not true he's claimed that he's doing it in alliance with the quote unquote the syrian national army it's not syrian and it's not the national army these are these are terrorist forces that are under the leadership and paid and promoted by turkey so it's one lie after another

. the clear and simple situation is that turkey is invading northern syria and carrying out or trying to carry out a land grab. donald trump threaten to obliterate his economy for ducks out of town on twitter now we have to take anything with the trump says with a pinch of salt but what do you think his actions will be with regards to a country supposed to be a nato member and an ally well in fact they did the trump trump did take economic measures that hurt the hurt or hurt the turkish economy severely in the past and and so that is something that he can do they're doing that to many countries around the world in fact there's there's a call in congress for sanctions on turkey that. being promoted by by 2 senators right now. right investigative journalist on syria solidarity movement stunning

thanks for joining us on our teeth and i. for a 6th day running thousands are again protesting against austerity in ecuador's capital i mean unrest and clashes the government's been forced to relocate to the country's 2nd city the protests were triggered by the removal of fuel subsidies part of a deal with the international monetary fund and many demonstrators come from poor and indigenous communities protests became violent with months of cocktails and stones thrown at police they responded with tear gas which hit our correspondent nicholas o'donovan he pulls from the unrest and he took. turns right now in an alley chaos there is our friends and thousands of 1st isis let's try and get closer to the front line just just a few feet and why it's the presidential palace it's heavily armed call good

military and police all says these protests to florence again. in minutes ago while i was doing the live show in our spanish version we don't hit by. and that's what we've been seeing all day the protesters use a lot of court sales stones bricks just like the. and police firing back with tear gas with sound bombs it's a situation of extreme tension in the streets. just to give you an idea. like rebels may play suspended any activity in the city center they say it's not safe for doctors and for ambulances instead we've got crews all volunteers that are just taking the dozens and dozens of wounded people to hospital some treating them there so it's actually pretty shocking as you mentioned these protests and fluency measures that the implemented by the government included scrapping the subsidies do

you know. gasoline. and that has triggered these protests the monday we had the students then on tuesday we had been bijan as communities today they will move together they've joined together in the same tens of thousands of taking out the streets and they didn't let in moreno poll he's going to say you know what he's going to hit is a message. so lute riposte so it's government those ministers and say the measures that came out there with the i.m.f. $4300000000.00. struggling with that not the people who say that the government is going to say but that it's big business instead of the people and that's why all these people protest in 3 days this week there's massive protests this is a national strike and what we've seen here on the front line is absolute chaos in

clashes between the protesters and the police forces and it's a big big x. with smoke it's practically on bearable. and this is definitely not the end i promise to stay here till till dusk maybe even tomorrow so this is just the beginning of a war is promising to be a tragic day and for those history professor latin american studies at the city university of new york daniel schorr believes more and i was betrayed the trust of the ecuadorian people the countries in latin america that aligned with the u.s. . very quickly supported. the neo liberal agenda supports come from. and. it's the classic playing out of class forces in lending america this is not the 1st time certainly that i and world bank intervention has sparked

massive against austerity measures we've seen this in jamaica in the dominican republic in haiti and across the region in more betrayed the 17000000 people of this indian nation a country that's a majority indigenous people a vast majority workers in and that's why we're seeing hundreds of thousands of people in the streets. in quiet killed throughout the country. the german interior minister has said shootings around the city of hollow which left 2 people dead were an anti semitic attack the 27 year old gunman reportedly shown in this video at the moment of one of the attacks has now been arrested one a shooting occurred outside a synagogue and another at a kebab shop there are also reports of a grenade being thrown at a jewish ceremony cemetery police have now reduced the threat level but are still warning locals to be vigilant the shooter streams attack on

a twitch platform you also use them and the semantics lower in a video posted before the incident and just the interviews you may find the following footage distressing. of condolences have been expressed around the world a minute's silence was held at the european parliament israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called it a sign of growing the seventy's in europe. attended a vigil at the synagogue honoring the victims of the shooting a correspondent. was that. people behind me here have gathered in the front of the new synagogue in berlin not to celebrate the holiest day in the jewish calendar but to stand in solidarity with the victims of earlier shooting in germany 3 shootings took place earlier on wednesday leaving 2 people that and many more injured one in

front of a synagogue the other i don't local house and the other one was about 15 kilometers away in the nearby town called landsberg. 1 pm local time and is believed to have opened fire and killing a man and a woman and during many more it is believed that the perpetrators also threw a grenade at a nearby to which cemeteries eyewitnesses who have seen the pick for the suspects believed that they were wearing combat clothes some more like helmets and they were carrying multiple guns with them area is still on high alert as well as many jewish community centers and synagogues across the nation the attacks are believed to be from right wing extremists this comes after 2 more incidents took place earlier this month with the one a jewish man was attacked with a walk on his head and the 2nd one at this synagogue right behind me where

a 23 year old armed with a knife tried to storm into the synagogue but was arrested by police this is no strange the police though since the jewish communities have raised their concerns about security issues for this upcoming holiday former head of the u.k.'s national account of terrace security office chris phillips believes the fact the attacks took place on a jewish holiday may be significant. just one day a year that could have been chosen but of course it is a significant day we often see terrorist attacks take place on significant occasions religious occasions and i suppose we'll soon find out who the suspects people all that did this but the fact that it. has been attacked as well tends to lend to this is probably some something of the right wing extremism that it's on this well there's always the possibility of prevention but that comes from good intelligence and clearly that's not always going to be successful the interesting

point here is that synagogues do take security seriously and i think the fact that they are. aware of the dangers that they face when there are prayer except are probably prevented the deaths of. a russian and to corruption ngo founded by a prominent opposition leader in the valley is branded a foreign agent by russia's ministry of justice or on the story after a quick break. here on. the united states should remove the sanctions and then talks would be possible what's the united states refused to do so there is an increasing mistrust

working right in states because of his or other funds used to do it so there was a real concern that if you're on the negotiation munitions with the united states and then the united states again refuses to move to sanctions like the same. in north korea everything would be. worse than. the brain does know it. in the way. every time you. the brain you damage it in a way that comes in safely the brain is incredibly sent delegates if you can damage some of the brain you can kill the patient does by damaging one of 2 millimeters of brain tissue.

welcome back to the program rushes justice ministry has classified a prominent anti corruption non-governmental organization as a foreign agent the group was funded founded by opposition figurehead alexina valley. during the chink of the foundations and to fifty's the russian ministry of justice that to film the functions of a foreign agent a foreign agent is basically any organization that receives money from a private citizen or an organization located abroad and acts within the political interests of its benefactor within the russian federation now foreign agents face more audit than regular n.g.o.s and they're supposed to declare on all official statements their status as a foreign agent now the anti corruption foundation itself is a nonprofit based in moscow and it was founded by opposition figure like say novell me one of their investigations involved a yacht party with a russian all of dark politician and some ass court ladies another looked into

corruption charges corruption allegations involving prime minister dmitri medvedev but where do they get all the money from this their website it says that they get it from individual donations but back in august they were actually suspected of money laundering 1000000000 rubles and investigators say that the organization received the sum in foreign currencies between 20162018 transfer that money from a.t.m.'s into the russian bank accounts now why was it illegal because they didn't declare their status as a foreign agency which is what has been the law in russia since july 2012 now the investigation is still going on but we don't have confirmation that it's necessarily connected to the justice ministry statement and the ministry also has not actually specified why they put in of all these organization on the list of foreign agents now we do have reactions from the foundation's director as well as from the vali himself on social media they both claim that their organizations do

not receive any foreign money and that they're entirely funded by donations from russian citizens even said that it was volodymyr putin himself who gave the order. or for his organization to be put on this list of foreign agencies so what we're waiting for now is any sort of response from the ministry of justice to these heavy accusations. to france where farmers are claiming they face ruin after a major fire at a local chemical plant your thought he's in wrong have since ban them from selling any products. we've been affected by the cloud of smoke from the lubrizol fracturing at the

moment we've suspended the production harvest of my vegetables because of this cloud because we can't tell you know what substances infiltrated the soil. the day of the blaze they told us that there was no danger that all would be fine and there was no problem and 3 days after i found the local governments to create banning all sales and commercialization of our food products in the specific so. you could i saw after the blaze of lubrizol on september 26th i throw away between 10 and 1800 liters of milk every day we're demanding that's almost as related to the lubrizol slaves be covered by the state or their insurance.

russia's ambassador to the us has said the world can cope without the strategic arms reduction treaty is comments came as he stressed address students in monterey california he described the u.s. withdrawal from the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty as a disaster a nuclear arms control has been in the spotlight since the washington quick thought of treaty back in august. and you. can see it's just it's just a few tips that you. see you reach you just know she would if you believe you could be $500.00 you go get the result you get you. in the decision but somebody the 5. year old it's just like something good but it was. old it. fulfills its obligations on the n.p.t. because this is tough to do so with these fees if you receive d.v.c.

if. it's in school this week and try to find something better this is i would like for. you to understand. it was. just the weekend so why even though the. boom bust come up in just a few moments. in 30 minutes time with the latest global news updates we'll see about them.

i. talk about one of the worst cases of predatory baxter's defrauding an. abusing the poor and sick but i've seen in a couple years you know we have energy issues in many instances of bankers preying on folks but this is this is really happening. why a paradise with all year round turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of

these people 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 that it's because the people have less political power. religious. social money needs. to didn't so. that.

of taxing corporate profits when they have become increasingly adept with a number of cross border money moving map and perhaps most specifically the o.e.c.d. would address the problem of corporations exploiting official locations of licenses or patents to lower or totally evade taxes followers a big tech report. he noted the inclusion among the proposals of some from u.s. delegates as well as targeting companies outside the u.s. dominant tech sector those 2 developments were taken to signs that the proposal may be likely to receive an official green light from the new from the united states the u.s. and the european union have been clashing recently over whether and how to rein in the big names from the u.s. amazon facebook and google among others. joining us now to give us a handle on the economic events of the day is professor richard wolfe professor emeritus of economics at the university of massachusetts amherst and the author of democracy at work a cure for capitalism welcome back professor wolfe and 1st on this tax avoidance

tax avoidance push by the o.e.c.d. does it go far enough in your view is it likely to happen and how does this push compared to u.s. action on reining in big tax in terms of taxes. but let me go in there the reverse order the europeans have consistently been ahead of the united states in trying to do something about the monopolies as they see it operated by the high tech companies in the world who work very hard to corner particular technologies that they can then sell out of inflated price because they're the only producer who develop their technology precisely to produce things that others won't have for a while so they will be the only seller and can therefore get but not believe price and the reason is not far to look in europe you have a much more powerful labor moved.
