some $800.00 i still believe it's a skate from a detention camp in syria as kurdish forces withdraw in the face of a turkish military advance also to come. more than a week of violent protest and accord or it with the president refusing to cancel cutbacks on fuel subsidies. and environmental action group extinction rebellion has been rolling in cities across the world and the u.k. alone more than a 1000 people were arrested. this generation seems to be saying is you've messed things up for long enough you're not really listening the only way we can actually

get your attention is actually by civil disobedience rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing pretty good religion. this is the weekly here on our t.v. welcome to our roundup of the day's news along with the headlines that shape the week. hundreds of iceland tens have reportedly fled numerous detention camps in northern syria previously guarded by the kurdish forces the kurds retreated from some of their positions after turkey started its grown invasion which it calls an anti terror operation. turkey wants to create a buffer zone in theory up 3 of kurdish fighters agra plans to then settle millions of syrian refugees there who are currently in turkey the u.n. says over 130000 civilians have fled the turkish advance warning that the figure

could rise to some 400000 those escaping have urged the international community to step in. america and other countries should protect us they're committing sin here our children women is there really no mercy but rather clearly this is an occupation we are a peaceful people we are talking about this placement and effectively genocide of innocent kurdish civilians innocent communities within that region the kurds have always been on the defensive but now they may they must the fend themselves and their families which means that unfortunately they may not be able to police the camps that hold isis and the isis prisoners it is now going to cause a big vacuum and a significant problem in terms of security. the offensive has sparked rallies around the world people in the u.s. france germany and other countries have joined a pro kurdish protest operation has also been condemned by the international

community germany france and others have gone so far as to halt arms exports to turkey the president everyone has threatened to send refugees who are currently in turkey to the e.u. if it continues to condemn him for his actions. we have 3600000 syrian refugees in our country waiting to go back home hey european union come to your senses i'll say it again at the moment of our operation you cannot define it as an invasion our job is easy we can open the doors and 3600000 refugees we will send them back to you. the friends of fellows donald trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria announced last sunday defense secretary mark asked for has now confirmed washington will evacuate around 8000 american troops and a deliberate withdrawal citing the risk of american troops being caught between 2 opposing armies as for also more on that the kurds were looking to strike a deal with the syrian government and russia in the hope of

a counter attack against the turkish army he added u.s. troops still in syria have the right to something and will fire back if attacked. the terms of the draw announcement was condemned both abroad and in the u.s. with republicans and democrats saying the president is betraying the currents. of looks back now at u.s. relations with kurds over the decades. 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 crazy. 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 their efforts to overthrow their leader a bill karim kassim 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 please supplying the minority with

weapons once again pitching them against baghdad but then iraq and 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. this 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 metallic umma dawna 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 draw 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 as so often in the past contracts 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 yes surely your point isn't that because it betrayed them in the past we should betray them this time not that we should just we will we will not will not yes they did in 2007 the us 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. here 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. ecuador is in the grip of anti austerity

protests despite president london merinos military backed curfew that was imposed on saturday earlier that day people attacked government buildings and a t.v. channels office more than a week has passed since people 1st flooded the streets to pose government cuts on fuel subsidies are to spanish correspondent nicholas donovan reports from cuba. and this is what they're doing look these are real goods real bullets against people the i'm helpless to protect themselves who carved wooden sticks who dropped explosives on indigenous people who sleep in concho they were asleep that's what

a card was. the most recent thing. i don't right now and in something else there's thousands and thousands of protesters let's try and get conscience of the problems line just the just a few things and why it's the presidential palace it's heavily guarded by military and police forces these protests to plan to get there. in minutes ago while i was there in the march when our spanish version we don't hit by. right right right and that's what we think seeing old guy the protesters are

using sales stones bricks just like the snow. and at least so far and that was to gas with the sound bombs it's a situation of extreme tension in the streets. just to give you an idea. right griddles laid 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 going to people to bus stops and treating them there it's actually pretty sure can and he'll fluency measures that were implemented by the government included scrapping the subsidies for diesel. gasoline. and that has triggered these protests the monday we had the students then on tuesday we had been bijan its community it's a day they will move together they've joined together in the same tens of thousands

of people taking over the streets of quito president lenin moreno is going to see in what is going to. is a message. salute riposte so his government has minutes notice and say the measures that came up with the i.m.f. $4200000000.00. that struggling with that thought the people who say that the government is going to save the banks and big business instead of the people and that's why with these people out here protesting this is a national strike and it's heavy takeouts would smoke it's practically on bearable a tragic day and we're told history. when fuel subsidies were cut prices reportedly rose by 120 percent leaving to knock on inflation on other products this is in came as part of a deal made by the president with the international monetary fund in march in

exchange for another loan to the country where no has so far refused to scrap the cuts but on saturday said he would have a 2nd look at that. before that right now blame the unrest on former president rafael correa and venezuelan leader nicolas maduro carette told r.t. that rhino has no one else to blame but himself going to go to this prison difficult time from my home on the shows to politics of merino in his government he's already been in power for 2 and a half years and he still blames korea for everything economic crisis the security for his political faults and to say that these mass protests of my folks is just crazy that he's not even there isn't he marino is not interested in democracy for him the most important thing is to control power control the ecuadorian public so he create projects that can damage the majority would be beneficial for his goals. still to come out of violence tear gas and fire bombs have been seen in hong kong this week with protesters wearing face masks in defiance of

a banner that details on that story after the break. you know world big. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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. the world is driven by shaped by the person of those great.

things. we dare to ask. welcome back hong kong protesters are continuing to defy a ban on wearing face masks and have set up a 4 meter lady liberty statue on top of the iconic line rock the statue they say represents an injured female protester and aims to boost the fighting spirit and the purpose are strong as ever massed activists penalize metro stations across the city over the weekend using metal bars to smash ticket machines saturday's riot saw

a fire bomb turned 51 of the stations of the city's transport services are the only victims of the so-called peaceful demonstration. hong kong's chief executive carrie lamb earlier said it was too early to say whether the anti mask was failed adding that it usually takes time for new legislation to get the desired result with violence erupting in hong kong the atmosphere there is even beginning to resemble a certain work as are to sofitel reports. hong kong has gone from being the economic power of the orient to the face of the fight for democracy but the faces of those trying to rust control from beijing's cross a mosque and the democratic means they're using wouldn't be out of place in hollywood horror film the pudge.

the film's premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed modern fact austin rape you name it you've got a free pos and that because of this small window to release all your rage the country becomes crime free for the other $364.00 days it's a small sacrifice for the wider peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar to the film's opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own. to broker the still sensitive and you will for. the merchants you services suspect will. remember

urged. the scientists like this. ok it was a hoax but it was a hoax that actually wasn't that far from the reality of the chaotic mania gripping the streets of hong kong go icy mud. hong kong has a very dark night because of the extreme acts of the rioters the city's now cemetery lies to everyone is worried her even afraid. shops looted buildings burned the metro disrupted for the 1st time in over 20 years shopping centers food shops and banks closed down fearing wolf islands from the vandals a city which was renowned for its efficiency and convenience is now ma it in confusion and to sorta the instability has spooked the markets and seen hong kong's retail sales suffer the biggest drop on record and while the city's 1000000 as a packing must do cases for those who can just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get

a fosse truck residency abroad the options are limited you can go anywhere we came from mainland china and we didn't know the stations were closed so now we can get is a big problem for public transport is for everyone the decision to open or close the station cannot be politically if it's everyone's daily life if you save its traditions it's very good for you see trees not have people use the phrase and because there. are 3 really experts all the explosive fire the entire thing anyway so i think that's kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes of senseless violence while the protesters are engaged in a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience and what of course no image shows the full picture but this undercover police officer who was beaten with petrol bombs by and incensed mob the line is probably

a bit more blood with the lenses of the international media zoomed in on the region there's no shortage of scenes just like this and don't worry if it's a slow day but more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show. i . was. utterly was it. was as businesses are crushed as fire is bad and if people are forced to pick sides claims that it's all in the name of peace and democracy are increasingly wearing thin these protests is no longer our pro-democracy protests it is turning to royalty the protests the engage in violence our young

people it is because for the past. decades. the home call from the north to have a strong policy measures to ensure. that young people after they graduated from school or university they would have high quality jobs the poor start north will organize to do nor have a hierarchy to communicable store forty's to poor to start running round doing whatever they like leaving the police nor toys bus tour due. to or past then. the whole situation brule nesa city biggest external force to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate a rich real happened in the short run meanwhile a tweet from the general manager of a u.s.

basketball team has sparked up or in china expressed his support for the anti beijing protests in hong kong and it proved to be a costly move as it seen major chinese sponsors cut ties with the team and the n.b.a. is just one of many cases where leaning towards hong kong was seen as a no win game. let's bring home the redemption of the rage. i have one of the community says not to eat to hear me consider other perspectives i have always appreciated the significance of course our chinese fast answers have provided.

like the n.b.a. we welcome the chinese senses into our homes and into a week to jobs and money more than freedom and democracy. environmental action group extinction rebellion rallied in cities across the world this week on monday it launched a 2 week protest campaign to draw attention to the problem of climate change but protests turned violent in brussels on sunday.

the sure. that this is. the. over the week more than a 1000 activists were arrested in london demonstrators trying to shut down key sponsor like westminster bridge and city airports rallies were held across the globe as well from north america to australia where numerous people were detained for blocking a major intersection. among extinction rebellions key demands are that governments declare a climate emergency halt the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2025 however their actions have divided opinion here some of the reaction we've been hearing. extinction rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing pagan religion and the reason i refer to as

a pagan religion is just as all the classic hallmarks of a group of religious fundamentalists a belief that their view is the only view that's acceptable and a desire to shut down everything that does not talk to their worldview they fundamental belief that they are in charge and everybody else also go to their beck and call how do you resolve pollution result polluted by technological advancements the technological advancements the extinction rebellion oppose what this generation seems to be saying is you've messed things up for long enough you're not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience in the footsteps of mahatma gandhi and martin luther king jr and malcolm x. and rosa parks and people who decided that peaceful nonviolent public protest. displays of public outrage but tamed and controlled because don't forget the extinction rebellion and anybody who's involved in political activism or any kind

of change agenda they going to use your actions and activities against you look extinction rebellion of demand effect we have returned to the stone age removal of economic progress a commitment to not grow the economy so essentially the british government for example has committed to being 0 carbon by 2050 which i think is nominally said suppose you can't or shouldn't trust all words that come to our service we had our city contrasts we're not because our numbers in the names become clearer every single year if i can speak directly into the camera my 11 year old son who was at home with the band hello guys and we had a debate before it came on tonight about does he want to. leave school. take a break for an afternoon or a day to go and protest he was worried about the consequences at age 11 he understands that the climate is suffering and that rapid change is needed we do need to tackle pollution but i will tell you something you regret you reverse the

economic advantages that have lifted a 1000000000 people out of poverty and you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion are lying to you. that's a recap of just some of the stories that help shape the world these last 7 days probably this and up to the minute reports fos on twitter or facebook. the war and serious seems to be winding down with some syrians returning to their homeland but going back to a normal life no seems like a pipe dream after almost a decade of proxy war. 2 years of proxy peace.

joining me every thursday alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you that. there are 14006 i was substituting for a 5th grade class all of sudden that's kids come bursting a library really agitated one of the boys to the health and on the way he collapsed the next morning and i denied not we were not spraying anything but the teachers had actually gone out and taken pictures when all this chaos was going on the

school and students were being and they were spraying right in the feels right adjacent to. a follow up study was done on that 32 page study the last 4 pages are the chemicals that they have found what i mean i can your middle school we have shown an association between organophosphate exposure as measured by those metabolites in the mother's urine during pregnancy and shortened gestation abnormal neonatal reflexes decreased mental development in the children at 2 years of age decreased i.q. at age 7 and 10 years of age pervasive developmental disorder which is like or to some symptoms. attention problems in schooling poor executive functioning in pre-adolescent and we have also shown that there are some populations of people that might be more affected than others i have virtue of their genetics. protecting

our kids from chemicals is a common sense thing that everybody can get behind leave points to examples in recent years of students getting sick from pesticides used by farmers near schools this is really great and several incidents in 2008 in why man koichi where dozens of students got sick after a pesticide was applied on a nearby seed corn plot we've seen example after example where we've had to rush children from a public school to an e.r. like the ones i work in across the state for severe lung problems we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that a chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up what happened with why i'm a middle school was particularly egregious the state of hawaii department of agriculture does not do its job with respect to investigating.
