i. could be delayed again. asking for an extension. without a little you know what. little. they would have never made. the

fine print. thanks for joining us. welcome to the program. been gripped by a week of. protests in fact over the jailing of separatist leaders they were sent by the supreme court in spain on monday since then large crowds have been venting their anger on the streets of the city.

because i knew as president quinto has condemned the violence and called for talks with madrid spain as acting prime minister says that won't happen until toto issues a stronger message about the unrest but in a question about has been following this for us on the ground. well people of barcelona are protesting and taking it to the streets again there are taking part in this vast demonstration now for the 7th day in a row these crowds sorry to sound saying plastic at the loo now which is located right and the heart of the council line and capital now it's

a kind of peculiar thing about these protests that they all started in a rather friendly matter but then and we've seen that in the last 2 days in a blink of an they turn very violent at the very end and late in the evening now they have consul lonny and he's calling for people to come forward for a dialect and also add telling that violence says i'm not really there right past so we've seen before there are so many different radical alamance within these crowds so after all my brother a very calm protest is can turn. into a very violent very up scene burning scene that in the blink of an hour i well we spoke to different people both for and against of the independence now some told us that they demand their democratic rights to be respected they demand and now the referendum to be halogen catalunya soonest possible and demand the use referendum

to be our legal others believe that said the ex-president of council on your car let's put him on come back and face the crisis in his homeland but all are condemning the violence that we saw on the streets and i can tell you it was these were obscene scenes really that we saw on our part is protesting since monday after the supreme court in madrid geale separatist leaders for terms from 9 to 13 years for their role in the $27000.00 cattle on independence viewed and tonight it seems that the protests will continue that the mood is still within the crowds and as i've told you before they kept telling us that these are these movements these protests will only go on for quite some time here. sunday's protests were mostly peaceful lock out all the days this week when some demonstrations in barcelona devolved into violent clashes with police and knowing that jailed the

separatist leaders were found guilty of sedition for their role in organizing an independence referendum in 2017 which spain declared illegal it was sentenced to 29 and 13 years in prison madrid based journalist martin roberts believes the government faces a very tough challenge. lots of the demonstrators want. the politicians to be pardoned and the government clearly ruled that sides of the same time the government are trying to try to very fine line between not inflaming the situation any more because this pulls on them from the rights of the pope. spectrum to reintroduce direct rule as they did 2 years ago and on the other hand there are part of them so again they're just trying to try to very easy line down the middle not to inflame it but certainly. basically i think that says it's damage imitation of the moment the problem is the passions run deep this is been going on for 2

years however it plays out i think there's going to be a lot of ill feeling in part of the roof for many years to come whatever happens it's quite clear that the prussians in catalonia very much inflamed. there's no easy way out of this problem and it could drag on for quite some time. and elsewhere around the world thousands of marched in hong kong in defiance of a police and yet again there was violence protesters smashed up shops on the inside of metro stations and started fires and beijing rallies have gripped the city for months with unrest the frequent feature your authority has recently introduced an emergency law banning face masks in china has been out the protests as separatists accuse foreign countries of meddling in the situation. the president of the e.u. council donald has confirmed he has received a request from the u.k. for a bricks and extension are going to the boris johnson was forced to send

a letter asking for more time after a vote didn't go his way in parliament over he refused to sign the document i would totally boris johnson and 3 letters to brussels that's the 1st one asking for the extension plus a 2nd from the u.k. as a master to the e.u. saying the 1st letter was from parliament not the government and a 3rd letter from johnson himself where he describes any potential extension as damaging and urges the e.u. to help him get the deal into force. donald tusk says he will now discuss the situation with the e.u. leaders before deciding how to act all this comes after british m.p.'s voted on saturday for an amendment to get their approval of boris johnson's e.u. deal a deal that was heavily criticized by the opposition you cannot trust a word that is size i misread voting for a deal today and breaks it it once delivered certainty and the

people should have the final say the prime minister has returned from brussels to present a deal so he knows that we all know who she is actually who are says. the visa means deal he knows that if given the option that people reject his bad deal i don't choose to remain in the european yeah when i heard a man who said this country who know people don't trust and he keeps a trust who gave who would trust the british people if we want people to trust what he agree with me we should have a referendum so people can judge this deal for what it is and then we can have a general election after that. as the votes was on the way in westminster there was a huge protest outside parliament against. organizers of a rally calling for

a 2nd referendum playing hundreds of thousands have been marching in london because the analysts about where brics it may be headed now. also the problem is our own people in westminster who have deliberately set out to undermine the british government who deliberately set out to make sure the deal is as bad as possible and have deliberately set out. democracy i say shame on the steel is a bad deal but it's not so catastrophic deal a catastrophic deal is one that you can never escape from and what you saw teresa mayes backstop you could never escape from whereas with boris johnson's deal whilst it's bad you can't escape from it and it does give future british governments the ability to amend our relationship with europe i think what will happen over the next week or 2 is that we will have a clearer view not of the worst because i think that's fairly settled clearly but the future relationship and i think that's going to be the real battle there are no

doubt there will be attempts. at amending the legislation going to parliament to for example try and have a referendum to confirm the agreement so there'll be lots of shenanigans but i think that in the end this deal with slight amendments will be what the parliament will agree. the pentagon's claiming a ceasefire between turkey and kurdish forces in syria is being broadly maintained that the spite both sides accusing each other of violations and crew agreed on thursday to suspend its military operation for 5 days after talks between the turkish leader and us vice president mike pence donald trump was quick to take the credit. sometimes after a lot of fight. like 2 kids did a lot you gotta let him fight then your problem apart president there are no one was a gentleman he understood it but without

a little tough love you know what tough love is real without a little tough love they would have never made this deal turkey's going to be happy to come. you're going to be happy i just is going to be unhappy. now the 5 day window is to allow for the withdrawal of kurdish forces from a designated area on saturday at 2 invalid to continue to crush the heads of terrorists if the kurds don't leave but turkey's aim has been to clear fighters from a so-called deep safe so stretching 32 kilometers into syria a kurdish political leader has said they welcome the pause in hostilities but will not accept the turkish occupation and visually there's a disagreement over the wording of the deal between washington. today the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease fire in syria. this is not a cease fire a cease fire was established between 2 digits about policies we oppose and the operation for the terrorist to lead the safe side we can end the operation only after the terrorist elements be the area vice president spoke after

a high level delegation of u.s. officials met with the turkish president in turkey pen says that there will be a pause in military operations for 120 hours to allow the u.s. allied syrian kurds to withdraw and it was also agree that kurdish militias will lay down heavy weaponry if the terms of the deals are fulfilled turkey will finish its operation there in northern syria or that area will then be controlled by syria's army at the talks look as if it was a little tough just judging by the faces of the vice president and president airline before the meeting pretty somber and a little hostile but one week ago turkish forces crossed into syria leading to the president earlier this week to take decisive action and call on turkish forces to stand down to end this violence and agree to negotiations the u.s. had been slapping turkey with sanctions and threats trump even writing to air to one telling him not to be a fool on this one will trump promise to lift sanctions as soon as the turkish operation is over the president even called area one now

a friend the deal to me is reminiscent of the days of european colonialism before world war 2 when european powers would get together and they was conspired amongst themselves to divide out the sovereign territory of another country we have a similar situation here in syria where the usa is not an invited party in syria where turkey is not invited party into syria these these 2 countries are in syria illegally in violation of international law and the un charter will it work the answer is it might but my guess is that the. the s.d.f. will take this window of opportunity provided of 120 hours to move out of the way of the advancing turkish army once the s.p.s. leave the area the turkish army may decide that their military objectives have been made and the government may in fact withdraw the turkish army back to the turkish

frontier in which case the syrian government would start to reassert its sovereignty over that part of syria while turkey began its operation only this month after the u.s. withdrew its forces from the area and managed to get access to one of the bases abandoned by washington these are some pictures from inside that we spoke to advisor to president bashar al assad who told us the incursion is an act of aggression against syria itself. you know it's really not an encouraging it isn't a good question it is a horrible aggression i gave it. to again 3 syrian people and what they speak about this safe zone just imagine if any country would like to have this if go on inside another country there and tell international community again is this invasion and the gun. lie

about his objectives and about his purposes and about what he wants a. lot of your putin has been in the saudi capital riyadh this week on his 1st visit to the gulf state in over a decade the president held talks with king solomon of the crown prince signed a long list of deals 20 agreements worth over 20 over $2000000000.00 was signed in sectors such as aerospace culture health and advanced technology but also some gifts handed out with the russian leader presenting his hosts with a rare bird of prey or receiving a painting in return. breaks down the current state of relations between the 2 countries.

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 yemen 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 well always be very high.

my natural time is between saudi arabia and russia have. there is we consider russia to be friend. ties were established ivan years ago in 1926. was the 1st foreign country to recognize the young kingdom we value your efforts to boost our ties surely we do have to bear in mind that the 2 countries are the world's largest oil producers are they competitors you know in this case opec plus partners so all kinds of oil and gas and. the 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 put 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 u.s. should buy 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 signed between moscow and riyadh.

a lawyer representing donald trump's reelection campaign has sent a letter to c.n.n. warning of their intention to sue the network it's over allegations of bias against the president a spokesperson called it a desperate p.r. stunt comes off an expose a full contract for the t.v. worked. his material was published by project veteran an american nonprofit watchdog that includes secret recordings of editorial meetings which reportedly reveal a crusade against trump. within the outlets at the highest levels. when i came to work at c.n.n. i mean it was my dream job and that dream actually just turned into a nightmare i decided to wear hidden camera to secretly record the 9 am rundown hall meetings and it's basically run by jeff zucker the president of c.n.n. and c.n.n. was just pumping out propaganda it's basically me wanting. the news to be what they

used to be news and not a infotainment are a game show or chasing the ratings i like c.n.n. purports it to be facts 1st and that's clearly not the case. or guys the offense been taking a closer look at their claims. hate is a hell of a thing it brings out the absolute worst in all of us none of us is immune to it from little timmy at the kindergarden who's livid that bobby played with his favorite toy the jeff zucker the president of c.n.n.

. all that against. number one is on every day just hammering trump in some way shape or form or republicans in general the only thing that varies is how much power you have little timmy for example might call babi a rude word mr zucker on the other hand might subvert the global news corp betray all impartiality the ideals of journalism and misinformed millions all because of a petty grudge that's how powerful hate ease. these revelations board was courtesy of project veritas

a conservative activist group and this is just part one that's after a c.n.n. employee a technician at their washington d.c. bureau spent months wearing a hidden camera at work spilling the beans so to speak and providing recordings of called the say sions at the news that work kerry added dream to work in journalism at c.n.n. the spread news and then you found out how naive he was how things really work at c.n.n. it is one of 2 on whether i'm like hey if we if we have to cool let's just say we left if we lean right. let me know but again it just tells back nothing i just want people to have the information of make up their own minds now which if you didn't see the hints about what was going on i mean is there any surprise that these revelations if you watched c.n.n. rode it to impeachment the impeachment of president trump

a formal vote to open an impeachment probe revelations i should say in the impeachment inquiry the beginning of a new phase in this entire impeachment course it takes 2 to tango and 2 to feud just like little timmy and little bobby there is and trump can you give us a question. you know if you did you not get to give you a question you speak out or you are shaking attacking our network i just want to ask you sir i'm changing from fake news though doesn't that under very fake i know but aren't you. know this doesn't mean everyone at c.n.n. is a propagandist there are plenty says kerry who want to stick to journalism not opinion who want to show off the bat being dragged into zach because few. people. here. like to. play.

everything well all the time know every one of the major everyone and never complains. that he. carries 1st stream didn't pan out but he hasn't given up hope he's optimistic that what he did will help set things right to resurrect journalism. well it's coming your way in just a few moments but even back here in home but i was fine with the latest global news headlines see that. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

there are no official statistics in india concerning children who have been lost or separated from their parents some are to estimate that everything 8 minutes in the country the child goes missing a. lot of. what. are you calling. the national human rights commission stating that $44000.00 minors go missing every year while the police quoted. the united nations children's fund has described the situation as genocide and various sources suggest that in india there are several 1000000 missing women and children.

are. there. alone and welcome to the party we thought what we. that's how the turkish foreign minister characterized the surprise deal with the americans. to syria in return for the promise of the kurdish and the suspension of the sanctions. but ministration deliver any of the will to discuss that i'm now joined by marwan

a syrian writer and the director of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy mistake kaplan it's good to talk to you thank you very much for being here thank you very much thank you for having me now everybody is now talking about the agreement it's been the turks and the americans as the deal president himself referred to it as something having civilizational significance isn't that a bit of an oversell for what at least for now is essentially a pledge to hold fire for 5 days of course i think i think both the turks and americans must be billie's now that they are having this deal in my opinion because on the one hand it gives what it really wanted from the very beginning and that is to the bush white b.g. all of the senior democratic forces. away from the border along the 140

kilometers borders between the. borders but i mean this deal was actually reached mainly because the american delegation came with a stick on one hand and the card on the other hand you know that the u.s. congress actually has introduced 3 different bills of sanctions against the senate . the house of representative and it's very very tough sanctions and not only against the economy but also against the turkish. army on the other hand they came actually with this with discover which is actually to put pressure on the democratic forces in order to pull out from the. it is. that it is a deep inside syria but i'm sure you would agree with me that it's one thing to make a promise and and the other thing is to deliver on. the syrian conflict and i am specifically talking about. the on made at least 3 deals with the americans which

required substantial commitments from ankara only to see the americans change their minds later on do you think there is any trust last between these 2 nominal nato allies well i think the president of the gun is in a very difficult position and awkward position in fact why because he's dealing with 2 different americas america. which in fact we all know that he gave him somehow a green light in order to go inside syria and then he has he has had to change his mind many many times actually because he's coming under pressure from both inside his inside the administration and also from his allies in the region and we have another america which is that establishment the foreign policy establishment including the state department have been going on also you have the congress who are very much against and you a spell out from syria and against the british and against the see the democratic

forces that establishment in america believes that the united states actually by betraying. actually is giving a very bad message to its allies in the region. this is something not but what i mean a couple us i mean don't look at the united states if it withdraws from syria it will not be party to this conflict anymore it will not have any leverage and the syrian conflict and some actually also see that russia is winning in this case because america is actually pulling out so that something of the gun is actually dealing with 2 different americas this is actually what makes his position very very difficult and this is what mixed actually the thrust also with the united states is very low now as we are recording this program on friday afternoon and there are already news coming in that at least in one like this suppose that cease fire has been breached and that there are there are direct military confrontation between the turkish military and some of the kurdish groups speech at least me to my.
