crew. crew flee. will. after clearing the way for turkey's military operation against the kurds in northern syria by pulling u.s. troops out of the region president donald trump to mediate between the 2 sides also this. watchdogs accuse oil and gas firms of hypocrisy by running advertisement highlighting a green activities while also being against tougher climate regulations and ukrainian m.p. public documents he says reveal corruption involved in kiev and the us democratic presidential candidate joe biden.

good morning just going to 8 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now after pulling u.s. troops out of northern syria and essentially clearing the way for the turkish military operation against kurdish fighters president donald trump has offered to mediate between the 2 sides. you have the choice of bringing in the military and defeating everybody again or you have a choice of where they're actually doing some very strong things to turkey or we can mediate i hope we can mediate the 1st phase of the turkish operation began with air strikes on the 2 kurdish controlled border towns of. yad the kurds have ordered a general mobilization along the border with turkey to confront the attack the international community meanwhile has condemned the operation ankara in turn has warned that the e.u. as warned the youth that it will send millions of syrian refugees currently into to

europe if the brought bloc brand its operation and invasion meanwhile the kurds call washington's troop withdrawal from northern syria. middle east analyst alessandra bruno says that turkey may not benefit from its current assault on the kurds. most of turks and the kurds are saying or suggesting that they have been betrayed that the kurds have been betrayed many times and this is the standard policy of the west in fact but it's not just the kurds were betrayed this is been the western policy in the middle east for a long time there have always been this unity between this president and his own republican party so particularly on issues regarding the middle east and u.s. involvement. but we also talked. an m.p. for the justice and development party and condemns america's treatment of the kurds . turkey did not break any rules or norms of nato and

it is the united states which is breaking the rules this is why we have to ask the question about the us and that alliance of friendship this alliance pledges to protect any of its members if they are in danger and today turkey is a danger but we don't see the us cooperating with us ally on the contrary they are part of the threat it is the us who is breaking the rules of the alliance turkey maintains its position and if all the members of nato agree with this violation everyone will be infringing the rights of other members of the blog i don't even want to talk about it. meanwhile the u.s. senator lindsey graham a slam decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the one in syria according at the biggest blunder of primes presidency and even suggested to the result could be worse than the vietnam war or trump has defended the movie by saying they did not help the us during world war 2 he did warn however that offensive could lead to ice and prisoners escaping and heading to

europe. fighting to stay been told the threat elsewhere well they're going to be escaping to europe that's where they want to go they want to go back to their homes but europe didn't want him from us we could have given it to him they could have had trials they could have done whatever they wanted but as usual it's not reciprocal you know my favorite word reciprocal there is the risk of coming to europe there's a risk oh go into syria proper will attempt to or into iraq or into many other places as long as. everything was beginning to calm down in syria the war was essentially over more or less and now this is all kicked off again the timing is very interesting mr guns claims very interesting the fact that mr trump makes all of these claims about you know we're going to step aside and this is the stupidity that he's saying that didn't help us in world war 2 i mean what's world war 2 got to do with. the process of which is true streams work from say is ultimately what

everyone is doing what mater is doing all the most open trees are doing is essentially rekindling the war in syria discs all needs to stop and i think the only people the only countries that have got the morality in the decency and the owner to do it is russia and iran and i really hope they do do something. now from london to paris and new york the environmental action group extinction rebellion has been rallying in a series of coordinated protests since monday more than a 1000 people though have been arrested in the u.k. alone as it's also known was established in london and describes itself as a decentralized movement pursuing its aims through grassroots activism it claims to have a presence in $72.00 countries and shot to notoriety in the past year by staging a number of protests meanwhile a new report has revealed though how big companies are acting in contradictory ways

when it comes to fighting climate change or oil and gas giants are spending millions of dollars in social network ads one on the one hand these do highlight companies green activities but other than ferguson's lobby against tougher climate regulations a new report actually reaches similar conclusions to the one published by greenpeace challenged as more. going green is a big business in an age of protests like extinction rebellion companies want to show that they are making a contribution to saving the planet whether that is boy reducing the use of plastic all spending money on campaigns to let you know they are dedicated to the future but according to a report by greenpeace they may actually be deceiving you to resolve the global plastic pollution crisis some of the world's largest companies have started to admit that they need to act but close to scrutiny shows that they're mostly

continuing on the same track by investing in full solutions take the whole issue with teaching single use plastics global brands like dalton starbucks got on board for tea quickly when it came to ditching plastic straws the solution to use paper ones that was met with choice applause because paper can easily be recycled right wrong not only cold stores be recycled greenpeace points out a more fatal flaw there is no way the planet can sustain additional demand from companies attempting to substitute this single use plastic packaging with paper or cardboard another solution to conventional single use plastics made from fossil fuels is to use for you based plastics these have been snapped up by companies such as coca-cola pepsi co and nestlé no bio based is a very clever term because it probably makes you think that the product is

degradable and well yes some boy are based plastics should be able to break down however when added to learn to fill the conditions are rarely favorable to that actually happening but there isn't even bigger problem the majority of bio based plastic is derived from agricultural crops. which compete with food crops threatening food security globally the production of agricultural commodities is the leading cause of deforestation and habitat destruction ok so what about recycling we're all being encouraged to do that except as we've recently learned most of all recycling ends up being sent to countries in southeast asia where it's routinely being dumped that's if it even leaves your home country in the 1st place u.k. waste management before was recently fined 350000 pounds for trying to ship household rubbish to china that was labeled as being the waste paper for recycling when in

fact sanitary towels nappies and condoms were all found all wrapped up in the bales in the container and studies show that when it comes to plastic more than 90 percent of the world's plastic remains on recycled greenpeace says it's time to declare peak plastic and move towards 0 waste easy to say clearly much more difficult to do especially when almost all the products that we use come readily wrapped in 12 sometimes 3 layers of plastic or paper others say the only real solution is for governments to take action and to ban single use packaging but as you've seen exchanging one thing for another may only be shifting the problem. artie paris your professor of sociology frank furedi says that campaigns against plastic bags only create an impression of good. i think there's

a lot of. rear end covering where companies. making a major contribution to solving environmental problems and a lot of the campaigns against. are really about creating the impression that we do something good. you know instead of organizing the. campaign we ought to be thinking of developing technologies and they will bring different kinds of materials that can do what we know will be done before. and i think you'll find that when you when you look at all the different recycling schemes don't have been initiated a lot of them look good on paper but when you actually find out the benefits in terms of cutting carbon emissions goes over syria the energy of very elusive and there's very little to do goes from it. how ukraine and pay has published documents that he says reveal corruption involving kiev and u.s.

democratic presidential hopeful joe biden and 2014 biden was u.s. vice president and the man for ukraine while his son hunter was on the board of the ukrainian gas company ask taylor has more to tell us. with its big personalities and explosive revelations politics is like a good t.v. show take the biden's ukraine plot for example which is currently stealing time former vice president joe biden his son hunter trump of course and the ukrainian president have recurring roles but a new character has appeared on the scene ukrainian m.p. andrey catch now captures and to center stage and accuse biden of making a pretty penny from his dealings in ukraine and with one company in particular mission it was conspiracy this was the transfer of the barisan group's funds for lobbying activities as investigators believe personally to judge but i didn't

through the law being company funds the amount of 900000 dollars were transferred to the us based company rosemont seneca partners which according to open sources in particular the new york times is if. payment reference was payment for consultative services. just a quick intro to the reason a group as one of the largest natural gas companies coincidentally or not hunted by tim was on its board of directors for almost 5 years a job he was entirely qualified for having no background in the energy sector many experience of ukraine but his father was the obama administration's point man for ukraine so why not any way to capture the published documents which show that over many years the brits macgruber almost $1000000.00 to a company called rosemount seneca partners before anyone cries foul and says photoshop spin up to its old tricks the money transfers can be seen black and white in a federal court fall from an unrelated new york lawsuit there's nothing concrete to

suggest that biden sr has been sponsored in a big leather chair at rosemont seneca but let's just rewind a few years. the year is 2009 joe biden is riding high he's vice president but poor old hunt is not doing so well his cryptocurrency fund is going through a rough patch off to one of its key people and stanford is court red handed and charged with forward to the tune of a tidy sum the indictment alleges that stanford and his co-defendants engaged in a scheme to defraud investors who purchased approximately $7000000000.00 mr tickets of deposit c.d.'s administered by the stanford international bank ltd so hard to decide to see green a posture has and sets up a new company rosemont partners he got sutton christopher hines on board who

conveniently happens to be the steps on a future secretary of state john kerry it's a small world of people who couldn't cash in on their family name residence anika advertised itself as a consultancy that just wanted to help small and middle sized companies expand not just across the u.s. but into foreign markets to. the year is now 2010 and response on it has partnered with a little for the stilton group and continuing his good company hum to chooses as his partner james bulger the nephew of new tourists us thanks to whitey bulger who might affect the gruesome and in prison just last year so since a chanel was his life he even got a movie based on it. come. with the movie. so here we have this

happy trio the piece on the future of state stepson and the nephew of a mob boss for lying around the wall trying to get money from investors. but he is now 20 thought teen and joe biden's on an official visit to china 2. and in photos from the trip hunters by his side just a regular full of the song trip except 2 weeks later and his buddies signed off a $1000000000.00 investment contract from china is the wall just full of coincidences. this year is now 2018 and hunt is again in a bit of a pickle as co-founder of rosemont sanuk up fellow director of the barista group is charged with security for what it's funny how many bad apples hunter has been

surrounded by like i said every t.v. show has got big personalities and bank revelations and it would seem a very tangled web of characters. well the scandal surrounding biden has given a boost to one of his 2020 democratic rivals senator elizabeth warren we'll look at how her way of trying to woo voters is very different from out of donald trump's would do that just off the back. you know world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the 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. make this manufactured consensus to the public well. when the right wing pluses and protect themselves. with the final merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. room. hello again my wifi 2020 u.s.

presidential hopeful joe biden's campaign might buy scandal another democrat in the running is gaining momentum the senator elizabeth warren but she's also attracting more scrutiny as a result a lot more pain i looked at how she's trying to winnow provoked. elizabeth warren the current front runner among democrats contending for the 2020 nomination says that she has been the victim of an injustice she says that back when she was 22 years old she lost a teaching job because she got pregnant when i was visibly pregnant about 6 months along. the principal called me and and said. that he wished me luck. he'd be more comfortable having someone else now back in 2008 she was telling the story a little bit differently you actually pursue that career i did that for you here and within that song. i actually didn't have the education courses so i was on an emergency certificate it was called and i went back. to graduate school and took

a couple of courses in education but in 2019 it looks like she decided playing the victim card would get her a little bit farther just like her claim to be native american which helped her get into harvard university the democratic candidates absolutely believe that voters need a victim mentality she needs to be authentic with voters more than being a victim to voters it appears that she was never actually fired for being pregnant in fact there is a resignation letter that she apparently turned in at one point and here's another presidential candidate he's chosen a different role as i've stated strongly before and just to reiterate if turkey does anything that i've had my grazing on match wisdom considered to be off limits i will be destroying and a brooch or a the economy. i've done before now donald trump can certainly play the victim when it comes to impeachment inquiries and media bias however he's also clear on other things he's big he's rich and he almost always gets his way for them in trouble

also considers himself a victim he refers to the witch hunt against him especially in the russia collusion case now with the impeachment he refers to himself as being the victim of one of the biggest hoaxes in u.s. history and a witch hunt so he uses the victim term in many cases but then he will flip that on its head and suddenly talks about how he has this unmatched unparalleled wisdom many americans don't like the idea of being the victim they like the idea of being a victory for being stronger or being a winner as opposed to somebody who's been put down so different camps and different means of appealing to your voters democrats seem to seek sympathy by showing ways they have been mistreated i grew up knowing that the way we can make change is when people come together when i was a baby my parents tried to move us into a deeper hole with great public schools but realtors wouldn't fill the hole because of the color of our skin you know there was a little girl and california who was part of the fact in class. to integrate her

public school and she was bussed to school every day and that little girl was me in each generation in my family starting with my grown my grandmother who came in 1902 from mexico as an orphan. we found out that it's not enough in america to just work hard and for your family to work hard not to stone at all let's review how the donald presents himself i am the one i'm a very stable genius i'm so young. first i am very young vibrant. i would give myself a plus now to be fair donald trump is not facing any serious primary contenders he's got the republican nomination pretty much in the bag but it is interesting to compare the 2 different approaches the victim mentality is not the winning strategy when it comes to a general election in the primary system in the united states you are actually

playing to only about 2 to 3 percent of the electorate in order to win a primary when you get into the general election and now you're facing all voters it's a very different mentality i think the general sentiment of americans is to be competent to be strong to not be a victim to be a winner perhaps it's just a different psychology if you're a republican you want someone who is strong undefeated and will come into office in order to make america great again and if you're a democrat you want someone who has suffered and understands what you have been through and when they get into office they'll help level the playing field now there's admirable aspects to both approaches but the gap between them is pretty staggering caleb mop and artsy new york. now thousands of indigenous people gathered for another day of protest in ecuador's capital that after a week of demonstrations against government to stay rich measures one of their leaders condemned president then amid a nice decision to cut fuel subsidies is part of a loan deal with the international monetary fund.

neckwear do we have a murderous government against its people we have a government that has given itself with soul and blood to the international monetary fund was but the protests have turned ugly with violent clashes roadblocks and destruction to the country's oil output in a capital case where a funeral was held for one of the indigenous leaders killed during the protests on wednesday from their correspondent mr donovan sent this report this is ground 03 digits resistance thousands and thousands of people came to all the thousands of selecting the building behind me so they can put up a big building where they've also kidnapped a policeman one of those officers came on stage to say that he was being treated well but the government was clear that any negotiations to carry on these offices have to be released the indigenous people on the other hand have their own

conditions to come to the table they want both the minister of defense and the interior minister to resign and they're also still pushing for fuel subsidies to be back in place then there's a disagreement about the number of people that have died during these days of protests the indigenous leaders say that it was 6 while the government is still sane one is the official figure also or a t's in ecuador who have arrested over 750 people in a week of unrest and dozens of police officers have been injured also hundreds of protesters have suffered injuries during these violent clashes so the situation here nick riddell is still tense in the negotiations between the government and the digital speed who are still blocked or still far from the result because of those. finally t.v. shows will have to meet strict gender and sexual minority diversity standards to

i want to exclude but sometimes in the scheme of the imagine doing the godfather with the more swedes more asians represented i mean it doesn't make any sense they're doing this gratuitously i respectfully submit because it is posh it is the neck tattoo the stud the the it could trigger more so to speak it is what is hip what is new and what it is it's the ice falling it is taking the free exercise of unbridled creativity and saying you may do this but if you would like to win awards which of course your commercial success is dependent upon this you must compress your particular creativity within this particular framework it is intellectually disingenuous it modern day blacklisting horrible. i mean just coming up to hostile here in moscow that's how the news is looking back again at the top of.
