crossfire and the american president donald trump has tweeted that nko will face tough and powerful sanctions as a result of this we heard any more information any reaction to those reports of multiple prison breakouts by isis militants. well we constantly receiving these reports suggesting that there are hundreds obviously mixtape fighters who have broken out of several detention camps that were previously controlled by the kurds across northern syria and this comes after the could start with retreating from their positions ever since wednesday when the ankara government began this offensive we have been hearing from the europeans particularly the french and the germans who are warning that all of this will result in a humanitarian crisis and particularly they've expressed concern over the on mess escape obviously mixtape feiss we're hearing from these country. that they might be
3:04 pm
halting or that they've already halted on sales but with the question off sanctions and whether or not these will be implemented soon now the president added one has said that all these reports of islamic state for instance breaking out of prison all fabricated and all merely an effort to try and so this in sofia against the took his operation which he continues to testify. and he thinks i correspond with the latest poll the sleep. the university of oklahoma skull each of international studies told us that they have as rich result says are crucial for damascus. well i think we're going to we're seeing a scramble for the northeast of syria in the same way that there was a scramble during the collapse of isis state and the resources of the area are going to be the 1st to be taken as we saw with the oil fields around arizona or and i think what we're going to see is the syrian government is going to try to go across get the oil fields the gas fields that are so crucial for
3:05 pm
a serious economic well being also this is prime agricultural land the euphrates river flows down here the dam that the dam it which is so important to the flow of the euphrates which america and the kurds have held the syrian government's going to want to take that back as well so what we're going to see is a scramble for resources in the area and and turkey is going to be come under intense pressure will see what aired on and on assad can negotiate in a way to deescalate so that there isn't war between turkey and syria. the offensive spot rallies around the world people in the u.s. france germany have joined protests the operations also be condemned by the international community germany france and of this so far is to hold arms exports to present dead around the thread and to send refugees currently into to the e.u. if it continues to condemn microseconds. but really we have
3:06 pm
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 fanciful list of troops decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria announced last sunday it was condemned to broth and in the u.s. with republicans and democrats saying the president's betraying the kurds does exist on the folks back 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.
3:07 pm
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 but the new ruler was in a big fan of ideal of kurdish independence so he bombed them into submission bombed with napalm kindly provided by the united states.
3:08 pm
the kurds seem to either have a short memory or a forgiving heart because in the 70s the us was back on their good side iraq and iran were involved in a border dispute and washington was correctly 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 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.
3:09 pm
fast forward to the eighty's and for the us it was the golden decade of big hair metallica madonna and m.t.v. for the kurds it was well just another decade of more us betrayal in the late eighties saddam hussein unleashed his chemical arsenal against them and atrocity looking bound to drop 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
3:10 pm
many took such goals with a pinch of salt but the kurds have every reason to believe i 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 then under the turks before i began to train the kurds that is your point yeah surely your point isn't that because we 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 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
3:11 pm
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. i could always in the group of anti austerity protests this right presidents lead the marina's military backed curfew imposed on saturday earlier in the day people attacked government buildings and the t.v. channels office where weeks passed since people 1st flooded the streets to oppose government cuts on fuel subsidies spanish correspondent nicholas reports from peter .
3:12 pm
this is what they're doing look these are real goods you know bullets against people the. tendency to carve wooden sticks to drop the explosives point and getting these people to sleep in constant contact the rest of the unspoken current defense. attorneys that right now are in an absolute chaos there is thousands and thousands of foreign sources let's try and get closer to the front line just the just a few things and why it's the presidential palace it's have been the call good part military and police since these protests to florence again. there's 2 minutes ago
3:13 pm
while i was there in the last shot in our spanish version we don't hit by. their right profile. and that's what we think so you know right the protesters are using the actual quote ferals 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 are volunteers just taking the dozens and dozens of people to. stop them treating them there it's actually pretty shocking and flutie measures that were implemented by the government included
3:14 pm
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 as communities today their old movies together they've joined together in the same tens of thousands of people taking out the streets of quito president clinton moreno he's going to see what he's going to say is a message. salute riposte so it's got that meant there is minutes of this and say it's measures that came out there with the i.m.f. full point $3000000000.00. struggling with that thought the people in 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 it's heavy takeouts which smoke it's practically on bearable
3:15 pm
a tragic day in x. we're told history. for mental escape extinction rebellions been protesting across the world this week causing disruption in my just cities we'll explain how it's happened after the break. the war in syria seems to be winding down with some syrians returning to their homeland but going back to a normal life now seems like a pipe dream after almost a decade of proxy war this syrian old dooms 2 years of proxy peace. what politicians do something. put themselves on the line to get accepted or
3:16 pm
rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press as a white woman for 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. course of. the environmental action group extinction rebellion rallied in cities across the world this week on monday launched a 2 week protest campaign to draw attention to the problem of climate change versus turned violent in brussels on sunday. t. i.
3:17 pm
was 1000 activists were arrested in london demonstrators there trying to shut down positions like westminster bridge and city rallies were held across the globe from north america to australia the numerous people though detained for blocking a major intersection. among extinction rebellions key demands are the governments declare a climate emergency hope the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce carbon emissions by 2025 but their actions have divided opinion as some of the reaction we've heard. 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
3:18 pm
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 of a 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 that 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
3:19 pm
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 our word that how to ask him if he had our city contrasts it or not because our numbers in the names become clearer every single year if i can see 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 of lifted a 1000000000 people are poverty are you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion are lying to. you while in hong

3:24 pm
thing anyway so i think that's kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes upsets less 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 and 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 i'm more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show i don't think we were out. thank you though. was a woman. like you as businesses are crushed
