which will go. with the turkish military operation against kurdish militants in full swing thousands of civilians flee their homes. this is an occupation we are a peaceful people we leave calmly work to our own business let everyone stand up for us arabs foreigners sin sin in ecuador harbor a week of violence there and you stare at the protesters try to paralyze the country by calling a general nationwide strike and following the islamist attack at the paris police headquarters francis interior minister produces

a list of telltale signs of potential radicalization among them sporting a beard although christophe kastner himself is hard to clean shaven britain's former spy chief says the private sector internet know more about this than any intelligence agency in the world from pose a major threat to democracy. so good morning just gone 10 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international and more than 200 military strikes have been carried out by to steps up its operation peace spring in northeast syria however kurdish military forces regarded as terrorists by ankara claim to have repelled one attack on a border town in a northern syrian province of rack up thousands of locals fled the area following the launch of the operation kurdish forces claim 5 civilians have been killed in

the offensive so far and accused ankara of deliberately targeting civilian areas fleeing locals have condemned what's happening. america and other countries should protect us they are committing sin here our children women is there really no mercy let everyone stand up for us arabs foreigners sin sin clearly 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. now it all comes after a 1st phase of airstrikes on the 2 kurdish controlled border towns of our man and also tell the kurds have ordered a general mobilization along the border with turkey underage into the international community steps in the roots of the current escalation does go back some years the

kurdish turkish conflict broke out in 2015 both sides have been u.s. allies in the fight against deisel ankara sees the kurds as a terrorist threat while the kurds seek autonomy defensive follows follows president donald trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the region in his latest statement he defended the move saying the kurds did not help the us during world war 2. we have no soldiers at 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 the kurds are fighting for their land

just so you understand they didn't help us in the 2nd world war they didn't help us with no normandy as an example they mention names of different battles they were there but they're there to help us with their land with all of that big said we like the kurds while the u.s. secretary of state might prompt says that he has spoken with his turkish counterpart stressing day that the white house hadn't given the green light to anchor is offensive the ongoing military operation has been criticised by the e.u. and the un i call on took as well on the other to check twitter restrict and to stop. operations already as we are speaking on the weight this military action is looked leading to good results the secretary general is very concerned by the recent developments in northeast syria. any military operation must fully respect the un charter and

international humanitarian law the turkish offensive in the northeastern syria is a danger a danger to the safety of the kurds it danger because it helps dies who have been fighting for 5 years it needs to stop so france has brought the matter to the security council the courts have been natural ally for the united states and for the united states for the world community and the un. fortunately it looks to me that the donald trump does not understand his security team his national security and his own administration does not understand the complexity of the issue the kurdish issues. people exist in that. folks disagreed with him from matters to bolton and others so i think this is a problem for him he makes a decision in trying to come up with excuses to convince himself that this is wrong the kurdish people deserve to be half of the humanity to crush isis and now

donald trump is going to let him loose when we discuss the operation and its potential repercussions for the region with the british born kurdish activists. and also the international relations expert saying bochy. we are talking about displacement and effectively genocide of innocent kurdish civilians innocent communities within that region so it is absolutely terrifying to know how you know the communities are feeding as they are continually being bombarded by the turkish offensive the kurds have always been on the defensive but now they know they must defend themselves and their families which means that unfortunately they may not be able to police the the camps that hold isis and the isis prisoners and also you know there are reports that actually within the camps there are some rebellions you know some isis rebellions going on so unfortunately the security threat is

therefore then raised and you know it is now going to cause a big vacuum and a significant problem in terms of security turkish main point is is that turkey has model the political and military obligation to bring these syrian refugees here in turkey and since many years back to their country turkey is trying to control the area so that y.p. g. forces could not fill this area and prevent that these syrian refugees cannot come back so this area's are not kurdish territory the territories belong to the state and turkey of large to protect the territorial integrity of. state. in other news ecuador has seen a nationwide strike in a 7th day of violent protests in its capital the thousands venting their anger

against the government strike leaders say it will not end until president menem reign 8 scraps to stare at the measures these have inflated opinion transport prices triggering the worst political unrest in a decade. god. all my. some 450 people have been injured so far among them police officers the price has turned ugly with cult tiles and stones being from the police officers responding to guess a correspondent nicholas donovan reports now i think it's all. right now and then they tell us there's thousands and thousands of protesters let's try

and get closer to the from behind just that just a few feet so why it's the presidential palace it's heaven the god part military and police say it's these protests who plan to get their. in minutes ago while i was there in the launch when our spanish version we got hit by. their right from friday night. and that's what we've been seeing all right the protesters there you know it's a coat tails 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 of quito just to give you an idea. place 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 good people to bus stops and train them there so it's actually pretty sure can and 30 measures that were implemented by the government included scrapping the subsidies so do you know. gasoline and that has triggered these protests the monday we had the students then on tuesday we had been degenerates communities today they will move together they've joined together in the same kinds of thousands of people who are taking over the streets of quito president lenin morena well he's going to see what he's going to hit is a message. absolutely repulsed so his government his ministers and say the measures that deal with the i.m.f. $4200000000.00. struggling with that not the people who say that the government is going to say but it's big business instead of the people and that's

why with these people here protesting this is a national strike and. take x. with smoke it's practically on bearable a tragic day in ecuador's history. as a former ecuadorian central bank official says the country's president. for west. the people are a 2 to protest the mention of the package that the m.f. demand is so unreasonable that some people have also called it economic malpractise in the sense that they knew that this was going to cause such a huge pain in the population but they still went for it when learning what in a ran on a progressive platform in 2017 people voted for him because he wanted social justice he wanted a continuation of the progressive policies but once he came into power he flip

flopped completely he has started to serve the interests of western creditors he has gone to the capital markets and basically issued over $10000000000.00 worth of foreign dead last just last week in the un meetings here received a gold medal from a lobby group headed by chevron. now after last week's attack at the paris police headquarters that left 4 officers dead issues have since admitted they missed warning signs about the killings radicalization but the french interior minister is ideas on how to recognize such people have caused controversy and shouted to explain. it's being a rocky week for france's interior minister christopher kasten a founder of self blindsided after telling the world the man who murdered 4 colleagues at the paris police h.q. hadn't shown the slightest cause for alarm calls for his resignation followed when

it emerged that they had indeed been much to cause concern now it appears he's trying to show he has things under control but they hear it from his national assembly he outlined how the so ins of islam missed radicalization could be spotted so in the words of just another how do you spot a radical by mrs senior when the sign that must be noted a rigorous religious practice is specially ramadan is a sign that should trigger an alert in the same way does the individual agree to team up with a woman or not does he have a regular and ostentatious practice of ritual prayer and also notes of female civil servants wearing a veil in public. well that's an interesting list to start with but perhaps is most illuminating suggestion of how to spot somebody who's been radicalized is this tidbit. these signs of them become more or more obvious and related to behavioral changes such as having a beard. do you think that he owns

a mirror. and that point certainly wasn't lost on one of france's m.p.'s reported on numbers that you mentioned having a beard can be problematic i see that you have a beard yourself come to think of it having a beer could be a bit of a problem for the others in the government to. thank. you. so as the baited man for all this is ruling only probably running off to buy raises as i speak we thought he has people here in paris what they make of the interior

minister is top tips but have to spot an islamist radical i think having a beer today in france can be. a bit solve a problem because you can you can get. more attention than you desire from the police. i know bearded people who go out in the evening and they are not tragical at all about beer is a fashion for me having a beer does not make you radical. i do not think that a beard is a sign of radicalisation it does not make any sense to me and people should not be judged by their appearance so advice like that i doubt this idiot's guide is going to be on sale any time soon. paris still ahead internet know more about this than any intelligence agency apparently that's according to britain's former spy chief will have a look at this bus of a story just after the break.

on the condition of the united states should remove the sanctions and then talks with us about what's the united states refused to do so there is an increasing mistrust working right in states because of a drop of funds used to do it so there was a real concern that if you're wrong goes to the negotiation you negotiations with the united states and then the united states again refuses to move to sanction. it's like the same they did to north korea everything would be. worse than. the brain does not use the word muscle. when you going to win every time

you. cut the brain you damage it in a way that comes in 2nd to the brain is incredibly sent delicate. you can damage some of the brain you can kill the patient does by damaging one or 2 millimeters of brain. welcome back with our tina private sector internet possess more personal data than any state intelligence agency and also poses a major threat to democracy that's according to david o. man and the former head of britain's spy agency. the big revelation over the last couple of years has been not about government intelligence agencies it's been about the private sector it's about the internet companies knowing more about me you everyone in the whole than any intelligence agency ever could or should know

about us this is truly dangerous i think it's a major threat to democracy and it's uncontrollable he also says that the work of spy agencies is strictly regulated while private sector firms have other priorities he cites the scandal surrounding cambridge analytic or as an example. the cambridge analytical scandal the way in which our personal data which is freely given in return for having an internet free at the point of use so we can do our searches and so on that information is monetized it is sold. well in march last year a whistleblower did reveal that cambridge analytic political consulting firm had harvested the personal data river up to 87000000 facebook users without their consent this was used for targeted political ad campaigns in the scandal cambridge analytical folded as a firm and facebook was fined $5000000000.00 facebook boss mark zuckerberg has also

apologized several times chris keates the founder of the encrypted internet service unseen says though that people are being exploited online. i'm not convinced there's any difference between this between the social media companies and the intelligence agencies they're basically the same thing so as soon as you put something in electronically then the question is who has control over the data social media companies were funded by intelligence agencies that's what that was the deal the deal was we'll give you this money and technology to build your business and you give us the data so when you when they collect your information it's going right to this right to the security agencies in some fashion and it's also going a lot of other places to advertisers and other people who may or may not protect their data what they've done is they've basically turned every person into a spy against themselves everyone on earth isn't the system it's a it's basically a threat matrix of what kind of threat do these people represent to whomever and

they can just dial it up and down and they just watch your e-mails if you make some offhanded comment who knows maybe you'll end up on one of those trains like they have in china where they hold off the years you know they're in control of the companies themselves i'm not even sure that they're really in control of anything i think that they're taking orders. the environmental action group extinction rebellion has built in central london for a 3rd day as part of a global campaign demanding governments take climate change more seriously while starting in london the movement has spread to dozens of cities as far afield as astray and south africa in berlin took inspiration from their british counterparts by blocking major roads in the city center and aside from the general disruption to businesses and people staying retains the group's actions are also affecting vital emergency services including say king hundreds of police officers away from other g t's and blocking ambulances groups actions are being criticised one cancer patient

allegedly forced to walk to hospital as it blocked roads leading to the building londoners have reacted to the activists shut down of parts of the capital. who are these self-righteous idiots that seek to determine how will leave our lives extension rebellion have gone too far this time for government by all means but do not affect the vulnerable bloody unbelievable i recently had a family member with cancer so this could close to the core really hope extinction rebellion are really ashamed of themselves it was also anger too after the group's activist a face to giant chalk one meant in southern england where which school children sari had helped to restore the ocean bones white horses a landmark chalk hill figure which was 1st cut back in 1012 angry locals branded the activists stunned covering the figure with their logo as misguided vandalism the group stood by its actions that. i make no apologies about upsetting people we

did our utmost not to damage the horse the last thing we wanted to do was to damage it we were very careful of how we walked on it. some of the acts are protesters also plan to bring london city airport to a close now while the group might be making themselves heard their actual demands to remain less clear to find out more. partridge went to meet some of the organizers extinction rebellion protests continue on its full team day campaign demanding the government take serious action to hold climate change the group claims its protest is for the benefit of the environment and peaceful in nature and here in the heart of london there is meat on my stomach a jolly festival atmosphere but this is what we've witnessed in the past few days roadblocks artistic before one says a giant octopus and defacing historical monuments research shows that people budding fossil fuels cutting down rain forest and increased bombing is damaging to

the environment but is protesting the best way to effect change extinction revalued once posed as a non violent organization but their actions and words could appear belligerents so today the police will be moving in embossed numbers trying to arrest individuals take the sites away from us but let's remind the police that if they take the saw is that we will become a lot harder to police or dispersed and we won't be letting them know what we're doing so it's actually in their interests that keep these sites because they know where we are and what we do it once we move out we're going to be a lot more disruptive and a lot harder to sell we are some of the protesters but they are demanding rebellion have 3 demands we want the government to tell the truth about the severity of the climate crisis and the 6 mass extinction we want them to act now to reduce carbon emissions and we want to set up a soon as

a simile so that people can decide what we do about this scientists tell this witness to something very very quickly. that's i'm grabbing this so much out there that tells us we need to act and yes they. just in ways that we can see damage happening everywhere in the world and the moment and we just have to make drastic changes we can't say the every however many years will be this week to really get people to realize what's happening and make changes now there is no us and them we're not protesting against an enemy as it were protesting against a system that causes all these problems in corporations and we've set up an economy that works on destroying the planet and really that needs to change around and that starts with all government was meant to represent us as people we also asked people on the streets what they thought of the price asked looks very peaceful looks pretty nonexistent to me a bit boring when you try to get a bus and all the roads are closed but hey i'll put up with a bit of discomfort is kind of frustrating you know i waited 10 years to come here

and there's all this going on we keep still looking for landmarks and everywhere we go they're covered by all this stuff though may seem on their way to exit here incredible. group waste of time i do believe the. irish population the pop culture by. nobody would return to the. great catastrophe coming out of the museum will will never post anything we propose is of course she would prefer include the activists on just focused on central london extinction rebellion also intends to shut down london city airport for 3 days to protest against air travel and the government's 2000000000 pound planned expansion of the site the group says this would involve a whole costar occupation we'll see if the consequences are the same can't contradict azzi. and that is your news wrap for this hour back again though with more stories at the top the.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only mostly and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical time to sit down and talk. about one of the worst cases of predatory baxter's defrauding and abusing the poor and sick that i've seen in a couple years you know we've introduced you to many instances of bankers preying on folks and this is this is a this is really happening. 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 lots of arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game between the teams close to the conflict i would say throw balls around and most of them. close one on the children's cosimo each other is good business the state of california alone makes 6000000000 dollars you have to prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore so you don't care mind anything. you know world a big part of. loftus and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig

deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the path and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. you long only come to the show was that some of the united states for them on the sanctions and then talks would be possible lots of unites this is refused to do so there is an increasing mistrust to argue right in states because of it all the funds used to fuel it so there wasn't a real concern that if you don't go through the negotiation unit assurance with the united states and then the united states again refuses to move to sign shows like the same they did to north korea everything would be even worse than.
