the friday unless some of my ex in the future don't trust our watch guys. president bush meets with saudi arabia's leadership on a highly anticipated state visit his 1st to the gulf monarchies since 2007 where there are 2 polling about. posco is bringing plenty of presidents which include russian movies cartoons everyone for the behold south plenty of surprises ready for mr burton and co but for now what that will be has remained a secret. also this hour video obtained by our team is roughly agency to shows the syrian army and province and northeast syria earlier kurdish officials said they struck an agreement with damascus to deploy government troops to the area meanwhile

fears of a potential terrorist resurgence are growing british officials say a turkish bombardment led to hundreds of relatives of foreign ice of members playing a president compound with turkey doubling the claims this information. plus a child gender clinic in the u.k. is sued over the alleged use of the underwear research experimental treatment we hear from a psychotherapist who worked their. own squished. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our moscow thanks for joining us this hour. president putin is in the saudi capital on a state visit at the moment he's meeting with the king and prince mohamed. all with

along with high level saudi officials who was welcomed by the saudi leader at the ali a mama palace they're expected to discuss economic cooperation this is a situation in the middle east including syria and iran this is of course a return visit after king solomon visited moscow in 2017 r.t.c. other trying to takes us through what else we might expect from the visit. saudi arabia and russia is a remarkable example of how 2 countries could be great partners or friends and foes at the same time everything that riyadh gets itself involved in and the middle east

be it about iran or syria gets full support from washington and you do realize that and all these cases russia is on the different side of the barricade. but when the russian leader in the saudi crown prince get along so well in person by the way they are the authors of probably the most famous high profile high 5 in the world the chances that the dialogue could work will always be very high. i have very good relations with both the king and the crown prince of we have been making good headway practically and. surely we do have to bear in mind that the 2 countries are the world's largest oil producers are their competitors you know in

this case most likely opec plus partners to all kinds of oil and gas and issues related to the energy sector are on the agenda especially after the drone attack from last month on one of saudi arabia's most important oil refineries which could the country's output by almost a half. and almost put the region on the brink of a real crisis. yemen's who the rebels said we did it washington and allies almost immediately blamed it all on to iran it was feared that a u.s. led strike on iran could have been imminent the incident even led to vladimir putin

suggesting that saudi arabia whose army is almost totally dependent on arms imports from the us should buy a russian made air defense missile systems it's another chance for mr putin to sell those but even without them 2000000000 dollars worth of contracts are expected to be signed between moscow and riyadh. but apart from things to be bought for cash moscow is bringing plenty of presents which include russian movies cartoons an opera and concert and a collection of russia's painting everyone's sure that the hosts have plenty of surprises ready for mr putin and co but for now what that will be has remained a secret. video agency roughly has attained footage of the syrian

army entering homines in far north east of syria it comes after kurdish officials in syria said they had reached an agreement with the government in damascus which will now help the kurds battle a turkish offensive. reports one has conceded in the idea that taking their. armed men and vehicles crossing the border and entering the area has occurred in the far north east of syria now this confirms earlier reports that we were receiving from local media in the area suggesting and saying that the syrian troops were advancing more towards and that the kurds were out on the streets celebrating as reports of a deal between the kurdish authorities and the syrian authorities broke and that deal to quote is aimed at preventing and confronting the turkish aggression what is significant is particularly this video showing for the 1st time in years that all

syrian army has reached kurdish controlled areas where they've been cut off from for there is very long time now the long term plan will be for your could expect syrian democratic forces as well as your syrian army to patrol the syria turkish border and for your kodesh militia who are guarding the checkpoints to allow them free passage the syrian media continues to a port that the syrian army is advancing northwards we're hearing from libya nice television that in the coming hours they should be entering the strategically important border town that is held by the kurds of called bani at the same time there are reports that the pro turkish forces have cut off the main road traveling east west through the kodesh territory already on sunday you had your syrian army who purportedly reaching the area of banbridge in aleppo now that's just 60 kilometers away from khobar me and this is after kurdish militia allowed them to pass freely through their checkpoints now this comes as we continue to receive

reports that on sunday the turkish bath forces reached the area of tell so far more than 10 people have been killed on both sides many more have been displaced unfortunately it seems as if the situation is just going to deteriorate. the e.u. was quick to react on the turkish offensive with germany and france announcing they are banning arms exports to ankara and it seems their block is ready to consider a unilateral response. so really there are problems on board or should be on the table i hope for. today we'll agree that it's very clear european signal austins at least they strong in favor to decide an e.u. arms embargo and if not then all 28 member states it unilaterally decide not to. use and they don't want to talk to the need to discuss the proper response but their opinion. donald trump has in turn said both turkey and the kurds should now

concentrate on not letting thousands of ice of prisoners held by kurdish forces escape that comes after kurdish officials announced a turkish bombardment of hundreds of relatives of foreign i seldom embers flying a prison compound your solemn takes a closer look at how this crisis could unfold. this is turkish and kurdish fighters beating each other black and blue and there's hate begets hate a hydra that was thought to be called dead is raising its head again. the version does not only threaten the reactivation revival of the islamic state but has revived and activated it spills in chemistry and other areas left all alone against the turkish military under its proxies the as d.f. needs every man and woman who can hold a rifle to defend their homes so the guards abandon some of their prison posts and some 800 i saw affiliates missed no chances here breaking loose from captivity and

more and sensing the lax watch over them are no longer afraid to rattle their cages both of them running for the hills there and while both damascus and its neighbors have plenty to be concerned about because of this it's europe that is really worried. the turkish operation in syria is our main concern our common wish is that the offensive must end we believe that it risks on the one hand creating an unacceptable humanitarian situation and on the other helping to reemerge in the region military action will undermine the security of the coalition's local partners namely the kurdish forces and risk protracted is that billet in northeast syria providing fertile ground for did its origins. and the latest jailbreaks might be only the very beginning of a truly massive outpour i mean look at this there are isolated tensions centers all

over the kurdish controlled areas they hold tens of thousands of islamic state affiliates thousands of them being former fighters actual former fighters and many of them holding foreign passports yes the e.u. had every. every type of warning bell ringing for them the kurds begged europe to take back jihad us with the e.u. passports and put them on trial at home well the position of the opt out by many european states have also been adopted by many other states across the globe countries are very reluctant to take back home anyone who's been connected with so-called islamic state as a foreign fighters because a the judicial systems within many liberal democracies haven't got the ability to bring evidence that would be sufficiently robust to get through the court systems and prosecute these people and the 2nd thing is to try and monitor them would cost a huge amount of money europe of course is haunted with p.t.s.d.

terror from the caliphate headed smite and we're living those moments he's europe's worst nightmare. so condemn call for dialogue stop every last arms create a turkey all you want now like fixing a crumbling house with duct tape over worked well the. situation is worse because evidently old these foreign fighters which were detained under the kurdish. detention centers are now being opened in different ways and these people have been freed on their territory which means does this people 1st of all can be active in

the territory of syria again and possibly being foreign fighters they might even decide or choose to return to europe and therefore to out to be their selves in europe again. england's 1st national child gender reassignment clinic is being sued by the mother of a patient and i psychotherapists who used to work there they claim that experimental treatments used on children as young as 11 have not been researched enough they're asking the court to ban the tavistock center from prescribing hormone blocking medication unless a court decides it's in the child's best interest they also accuse the clinic and the trust that in charge of gender identity services in north london are giving families misleading information about the risks of treatment marcus evans a psychoanalyst who worked at the clinic and the husband of the psychotherapist suing the facility argues that the treatment is indeed under researched. it is a controversial treatment with a vulnerable group of kids it's got

a long reaching consequences. we really don't know what's going on in this area and yet the trust was acting as if 'd there was nothing to look at everything was fine and we just carry on as normal of never being again transitioning and just again young kids making decisions all their parents like the seizures or maybe are . i couldn't as a parent make a decision not that i'm 20 not with my children now how do you talk to 'd a 12 year old about the implications of their treatment. so they will know when they're 25 when they say look at completely different person the clinic denies the accusations claiming a high level of satisfaction from patients that's why the controversy around the treatment the number of referrals to this clinic has increased exponentially and in recent years marcus evans again believes the topic of gender dysphoria has become

highly politicized and the wellbeing of patients is overlooked. something about this area is highly politicized which means this is cone questions all your keys that being transferred and actually mill all mean medical practice 'd is not taking place in my view is not enough research there's not enough interest in the downside of what's going on there's not enough scrutiny all. 'd of the issue of consent and i think we need an independent regulatory recorder that would say 'd the least controversial area and not reduce the trustees to being go with 'd the approach runs lobby's it's not all it's not any of the need necessarily relies to what extent the political forces draw anything what's going 'd on in this area.

while the middle east struggles with the remnants of isis caliphate take a region and africa is seeing a rise in jakarta attacks i'll find out where the next type of islamic extremism could be set a group in the 2nd half of the program. would call make manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. room.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is also a spear in dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back russia's defense ministry has refuted claims that it's just delivered strikes on a number of hospitals in syria in may the accusations were published in the new york times on sunday. cornell joins us in the studio with more details what are exactly can you find in this article while jacki the article basically accuses the

russian air force of bombing hospitals indiscriminately in syria to crush a government opposition now what evidence does the new york times claim to have well unpublished radio recordings that were apparently collected by ordinary residents in the area and anonymous witnesses who claim to have identified the planes carrying out the bombings as russian now we have received a response from the russian defense ministry which says that the publication actually fell the misinformation. 1st of all we'd like to express our regret that a major news outlet has fallen victim to the minute of terrorists and the british intelligence services the real conditions of life in the deescalation zone this on their allocated to control a terrorist group related to. a very different from what the new york times imagine is them to be now the ministry mentioned a number of problems with this idea of radio recordings number one the russian pilots didn't don't communicate bombing targets over radio and number 2 the gadgets

used to pick up the frequencies and which are featured in the new york times article are far too expensive for any ordinary resident of that of that area to just obtain moscow says that they were most likely connected to an air strike warning system developed by an american company deployed by a by british intelligence and handed over to the white house in syria and so the ministry has cast serious suspicion over who these anonymous sources really are which are mentioned in the article there is no other reason except a connection to the white helmet which acts on that the thought to have just had to explain the absolute anonymity of all sources in the new york times article finally russian jets in syria don't receive target coordinate detainee open radio transmission this is why all the supposed evidence presented by the new york times is worth less than the paper it was printed on. the piece mentioned something interesting about a cave as well tell us about that right one of the hospitals that were allegedly

seen it was located in a cave called kafr zita and just recently actually my colleague roman kozar of visited caves in the same area as this one as part of a press tour and what he and other journalists saw were not hospitals in these caves but arsenals a large arsenals of weapons many which were made in large part in the west actually so with the ministry of defense is response it seems the facts clearly aren't clearly against russia and the situation as the new york times is claiming one quarter joining us in the city thank you for that report. armed men attacked a mosque in burkina faso in west africa killing at least 16 people it's not clear who is behind it but there is growing concern about a surge of religious extremism in the region of asahel region in sub-saharan africa is one of the areas most at risk it's banned from the atlantic ocean all the way to the red sea and comes thing 9 countries our senior correspondent mara gotta have

become so hot and so complicated that even the africa command. the pentagon it's decided to be what it is to court german. hundreds of thousands of miles from the battlefield that does luck with optimism with regard to the prospects of combating there's a bit dammit religious zealotry lack of funds was address that a summit in brooklyn a fast so last month with west african leaders announcing a $1000000000.00 plan to combat jihad this violence which is pennies considering the challenge the $1000000000.00 to protect an area roughly the size of a 3rd of the european continent the sale is a gateway to the richer central african ivory coast garner southern

1000 days time coming out of the show was world renowned human rights lawyer geoffrey robertson q.c. bugged by the cia in london we ask him what's legal and what's illegal when it comes to boris johnson lula u.s. diplomat scotland yard and your innocence in u.k. black history month going underground speaks to the son of miles davis one of the greatest jazz artists of all time all of all going on with today's going underground on the day of what u.k. labor leader jeremy corbyn goals are fos the state opening of the british parliament by the queen joining me is one of the world's top human rights was geoffrey robinson q.c. a founder of dotty street chambers jeffrey welcome back to going undergrads are reports of the queen seeking advice on sacking boris johnson intimations routinely in the press the johnson wants to unlawfully void sending a letter to the european union your queen's council is the queen consulted you about psyching birth as my obligations as a queen's counsel to advise the queen whenever i must free of charge.

i have not not yet. i have advised daughter in law wants but not the queen she needs a lot of advice because there are a lot of case about the british constitution of which she is the normal guardian we talk about our unwritten constitution you know the only 2 countries in the world that don't have a written constitution a great britain and saudi arabia and in saudi arabia they don't have a supreme court that is capable of holding the ruler the government to account and i think we can be proud of the fact that our supreme court did stop the government from getting rid of parliament for 5 weeks that was an outrage and of course it was the supreme court who protected parliamentary democracy so i guess we don't know

whether we live in a parliamentary democracy or goals judicial morning but you know very little constitutional no man's land where you know very well we don't have a written constitution why not where the country that gave the world the english language shakespeare and we were incapable apparently of writing down and goes deeper because you know in the sixty's when we gave independence to all these other former colonies we gave them our constitution we wrote it down here said here is a westminster constitution. so it may have the way they have it every day yeah but you know very well that if we don't what business is it of the judges of the supreme court to overrule a democratically elected someone's business to democracy in the rule of law and as it happens that falls in a democracy to be legal to the judicial branch and it's for the judges to make

sure all the.
