no mercy let everyone stand up for us arabs foreigners sin sin. this is an occupation we are a peaceful people we live calmly work do our business it is a crime hey look you know on the bus real to the people you look at this car you see someone just there there are children in the room and. it all comes after a 1st phase of airstrikes on the 2 kurdish controlled border towns across a line and. the kurds have ordered a general mobilization along the border with turkey and are urging the international community to step in now the roots of the current escalation go back some years already the kurdish turkish conflict broke out in 2015 both sides have been u.s. allies in the fight against eisel and sees the kurds as a terrorist threat while the kurds seek autonomy the offensive falls president donald trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the region and his latest statement he defended the move saying the

kurds did not help the u.s. during world war 2. 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 well you going back to world war 2 is a poor way to justify our actions today. of course in world war 2 we were were fighting that see germany and the us as close close allies with with germany today so so whatever took place back then this is kind of ancient history the reality is that the kurds are are part of syria they're not part of the united states and the u.s. has a pattern of when they want to take over a country or they want to destabilize the country they look for they look for minority groups that they will work with to destabilize the country and ultimately

the goal for the u.s. would be to break up syria meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state might pump air says he's spoken with his turkish counterpart and stressed that the white house hadn't given the green light to on press fence of the ongoing military operation has been criticized by the e.u. and the u.n. i called on took as well. to be free street and to stop. operations already as we are speaking on the weight of these military action he's 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 currents it danger because it helps dying who have been fighting for 5 years it needs to stop so france has brought the matter to the

security council 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 policy is that turkey has

modeled and political and military obligation to bring these syrian refugees here in turkey since many years back to their counter turkey is trying to took control of the area so that y.p. g. forces could not fill this area and prevent that these syrian refugees cannot come back so this areas are not kurdish territory is the territories belong to the syrian state and turkey of large to protect the territorial integrity of. state. germany is reeling after the deadly shootings in the city of home. which left 2 people dead federal president frank walter steinmeier and other senior officials are visiting the scene of one of the attacks a local synagogue vigils are being held across the country across live now to evangelise who's in berlin for us about

a suspect is being held with connection with the atrocity what else can you tell us . well what we know so far a 27 year old male named stefan to be has been arrested by police and is believed to be the main suspect according to german federal. german federal prosecutor now authorities are confirming that the individual did have a right wing extremist background and however the fact that this attack occurred on unguarded synagogue on the holiest day in judaism is somewhat worrying jews are very outraged no police was near the synagogue at the moment of the incident and just a reminder it is the holy it was the holiest day on the jewish calendar and the attendance at the synagogue was high. but you cannot understand a tool as one of the synagogue had no police protection in the most important jewish day of celebration had the. likelihood of being prevented from committing

a 2nd attack. at a vigil held the main synagogue and berlin last night a german chancellor angela merkel attended and was confronted by people there about security measures she simply responded by saying that not enough was done to protect the people there. 2 people lost their lives this was an attack on jews and jews in germany we will do everything possible to ensure the you can live in safety it's clear that we're not doing enough we must do. the attacked caused more outrage because it was lifestream a platform that is most commonly used for live streaming video of video games and the video someone can see that the perpetrator that not you was a manufactured gun but more like a homemade one in his vehicle he had homemade weapons as well as a laptop and a camera showing the disturbing degree of planning that went behind these attacks

and in the same video they can see that the individual acted alone the spite the initial. reports by police that they are saying that the are more than one attackers. there will be vigils held as well as a demonstration in solidarity for the victims and holly moreover the german interior minister will be attending in highly to pretty tribute of the victims of yesterday's attacked also there will be a police conference with the hope that it would shed more light of yesterday's tragedy. artie's evangelise reporting live from berlin thank you. door has seen a nationwide strike and a 7th day of violent protests in its capital with thousands venting their anger against the government strike leaders say it will not end until president lenin moran scraps austerity measures these have inflated food and transport prices triggering the worst political unrest in a decade. oh. some

$450.00 people have been injured among them police officers the protests have turned ugly with molotov cocktails and stones thrown at officers police responded with tear gas and of course want to lessen donna many reports from the unrest in the koppel. oh. great sound right now in an absolute chaos there is thousands and thousands of protesters let's try and get some sense of the problem line just the just a few things and why it's the presidential palace it's have been the god part military and police since these protests to plan to get there. 2 minutes ago while i was there in the live shot with our spanish version we get hit by.

there right ok. and that's what we've been seeing all right the protesters there you know it's of course there was 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. a 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 wounded people. bus stops and train them there so it's actually pretty shocking and he of 30 measures that were implemented by the government included scrapping the subsidies. 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 join together in the same tens of thousands of people who are taking over the streets of quito president lenin morena all these going to see what is going to hit is a message. absolutely repulsed so his government his ministers and say the measures that deal with the i.m.f. $4700000000.00. we're told that struggling with that not the people who say that the government is going to say banks big business instead of the people and that's why with these people here protesting this is a national strike and it's heavy takeouts which smoke it's practically on bearable a tragic day in x. we're told history andras are as a former ecuadorian central bank official says the country's president has betrayed

his people for western loans. the people are right to protest the dimension of the package that they 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 many more than 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 in basically issued over $10000000000.00 worth of foreign dead last just last week in the un meetings he received a gold medal from a lobby group headed by chevron. more global news after this short break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. on the condition of 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 to argue the rights of states because of his or other funds used to do it so there was a real concern that you for your wrong goes through the negotiation munitions would unite in the states and then the united states again refuses to move to sanctions march the same. to north korea everything would be. worse than.

welcome back britain's former chief spy says private sector internet firms possess more personal data than any state intelligence agency and david oman claims they pose a major threat to democracy as well. the big revelation over the last couple of years has be 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 this this is

truly dangerous i think it's a major threat to democracy and it's uncontrollable he also noted the work of spy agencies is strictly regulated while private sector firms have other priorities giving this scandal surrounding cambridge analytical as an example the cambridge analytical scandal the way in which all personal data which is freely given in return for having an internet free at the point of use so we can do a searches and so on that information is monetized it is sold in march 2018 a whistleblower revealed that cambridge analytics a political consulting firm had harvested the personal data of up to 87 a 1000000 facebook users without their consent this was used for a target of political ad campaigns in the ensuing can scandal came much analytical folded as a firm and facebook was fined $5000000000.00 facebook boss mark zuckerberg has apologized several times chris keates the founder of encrypted internet service unsent so 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 that data what they've done is they've basically turned every person into a spy against themselves everyone on earth is in 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 the

companies themselves i'm not even sure that they're really in control of anything i think that they're taking orders. after last week's attack at the paris police headquarters that left 4 officers dead officials have sent admitted they missed warning signs about the killers radicalization but the french interior minister's ideas on how to recognize such people have caused controversy. explains . it's being a rocky week for france's interior minister christopher guest and if found himself blindsided after telling the world the man who did for 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 sewing of islam missed radicalization could be spotted

so in the words of just another how do you spot a radical by mrs. the signs that must be noted a rigorous religious practice this. 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. practice of ritual 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 related to behavioral changes such as having. we interrupt that report to go back to our top story and get libr action turkey's military operation peace spring against the kurds and northeast syria is into its 2nd day now fresh horses accuse ankara

shelling a prison and which i still terrorists are being held bringing in attempt to help them escape our present advisor abraham joins us live by phone right now so you're very welcome to the program turkey's military operation is into its 2nd day now will this be a long campaign. well it will last as long as it's necessary to secure that area because we want to establish a safe zone for remaining 2 purposes one is to clear our borders from any terrorist elements whether it's p.k. or dice or isis and the 2nd one is to create spaces for the refugees to return back to their homes voluntarily and safely now the kurds have alleged that civilians are being targeted is that true. no not at all in fact it's a similar campaign that we have seen before in regards to the p.k. kate in fact that you're not attacking any civilians but even your reporting confuses the p.k. k. in syria which is p y d y p g and the kurdish population there are thousands of kurds who live in syria who do not subscribe to p.k.s.

marxist leninist ideology in fact just this morning a number of tribes tribes both arab and kurd ish and others have called on our forces to protect them against p y d y p g p y d spokespeople yesterday said that they will use civilians as human shields that's really a monstrosity we are not interested in changing demographics in north syria or occupying any part of syria we want to establish this safe songs for safety of our citizens and also for the syrian refugees and the local people living in that part of syria why do you think the kurds would claim that civilians are being targeted if that's not true. well you can ask them it's part of the of the war propaganda they've done this before in order to fight against i mean in turkey in iraq in other places in fact it's p y d y p g that has. forced people to flee from many arab towns like tel aviv sudan and other places and if you look at the history of the p.k.

they had many executions of the kurdish people themselves so there's a you know good that this kind of stuff they're known for their smear campaigns and using civilians as human shields but as i said we've been very careful if you look at our operations in jobless in offering in a different other places where we've been present in syria we have avoided civilian casualties not compare it with what happened in fact in mosul where thousands of civilians. compared with what happened in iraq we had again thousands of people died i'm talking about civilians and compared with what happened in aleppo and other places in other parts of syria in iraq we have avoided civilian casualties our army is very careful about this. and it's also a little bit more about what exactly the operations objectives are. well 1st of all as i said is to clear this area from from terrorist elements we cannot let p. take a to have some kind of a state structure in syria this goes against syria's territorial integrity social

cohesion and also the u.n. security council resolution 2 to 54 when people say that this military operation by turkey is going to lead to destabilization or humanitarian crisis in fact you all are they have the stabilization because of the fact that now the p k k has carved out a part of syria almost one 3rd of syria in the east of euphrates has given them his authority it's not the syrian people they captured many of this land thanks to the american support that has been provided to them over the last 34 years immense amounts of weapons ammunition money training political support and other things in fact that's what president trump has been complaining about over the last couple of days and his idea of safe and our president. has defended he has raised it with a number of world leaders with president from president putin chancellor merkel and

many others but unfortunately they haven't done anything really to to realize that if he has safe zones in syria especially on the turkish syrian border we will have saved many lives and we will not have had the. refugee crisis in the way it has developed over the last 2 or 3 years. what exactly given turkey the right to violate syrian sovereignty if we're talking about the authority in the region. well it's our self-defense it's in tune with the international law u.n. charter article 51 and our fight against terrorism if you are attacked from another country and that country doesn't take care of that terrorist threat then you are anti-gay to entitled to support yourself so we have had this terrorist threat from dying in the jobless area and we went in and clear that area from $3000.00 tires there are no dilution elements been jobless and above at the moment we went into our free where you had to take

a terrorist there and be clear that the area we have returned those places back to their local or theirs those places are not run by local people local councils are not occupiers they are the same thing will happen in the east of euphrates and of course just as any country cares about their border security i mean you ask americans russians or anybody we have to take care of our own border you cannot imagine a situation where the americans will allow for example a branch of al qaida or diversion a long the american mexican border just because that their fight against drug cartels you cannot fight one terrorist organization with another one the same goes for russia or european countries if they feel that there is a threat to their national security from their border of course they are entitled to take action. at the same time this ongoing operation has been criticized by the e.u. and the un so are you not afraid of destabilizing northern syria. no to the contrary as i said every place that we have entered in syria temporarily has turned into

a zone of stability prosperity and if you look at the numbers for example of the areas that we have cleared from. p y d. jobless bob says offering and parts of it live about 352000 syrian refugees have returned and they are now having their own lives you know kind of more or less a sustainable life there but they don't want to go back to p y d y p held areas because they're afraid because they know that they will be oppressed and in fact they are children have been kidnapped including the children of this small christian community in northeast syria in the east of euphrates and they've made a number of the christian minorities have made a number of statements about this calling on the world to protect their children but nobody wants to talk about it if you are a number of important reports published by amnesty international and human rights watch also pointing to the possible war crimes committed by p y the by by p.g.

in the east of euphrates so if you talk about instability that is really has been created by the p y d y p g presence there and it's a threat as i said to serious territorial integrity i think everybody will welcome turkey's military operation because we've been involved in the astana process in the geneva process in dust on a process we work really closely with russia and iran we just had the last tripartite summit here in uncut about 2 weeks ago we are part of the geneva process we are part of the international dies quality anti dodgeball issue as well we've given. this we will fight against terrorists and we will continue to do so and we will make sure that isis does not come back in any form or shape militarily ideologically or any other way a very unkindly and present and i want spokesperson thank you so much for joining us on the program our pleasure that's our goal miserables out for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest things attending.
