6 i. don't let him fight. without a little tough love you know what. with out a little tough love they would have never made to steal.

the fine print. with me. thanks for joining us the program. has been met with a lot of protests over the jailing of separatist leaders they were sentenced by the supreme court in spain on monday since then large crowds have been venting their anger on the streets of the city.

i. think. because alone is president quinto has condemned the violence on call for talks with madrid spain as acting prime minister though says that won't happen until tolerates choose a stronger message about the unrest artie's within a caution has been following the events 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 are descending on to plastic at the lumia which is located right

and the heart of the council capital now it's a quite a 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 late in the evening now they have consul lonny and he's calling for people to come forward for dialogue and also telling that violence is not really the right past so we've seen before there are so many different radical allemands within these crowds so. rather 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 end dependence now some told us that they demand their democratic rights to be respected they demand and now

their referendum to be housed in catalonia as soon as possible and demand the use referendum to be legal others believe that the ex-president of consul on your car let's put him on * shoot come back and face the crisis in his homeland but whole 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 now burst 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 catalonia independence period and tonight it seems that the protest will continue that the mood is still with. the crowds and as i've told you before they kept telling us that these these movements these protests will only go on for quite some time here. sunday's protests were mostly peaceful unlike on other days this week when some demonstrations in

barcelona solved into violent clashes with police the jailed 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 between 9 and 13 years in prison which would based journalist martin roberts believes the government faces a very tough challenge. lots of the demonstrators wants. the politicians to be pardoned and the government clearly rule. of the same time the government are trying to try to very fine line between not inflaming the situation anymore because this pulls on them from the right of the political 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 down the middle not to inflame it but certainly. basically i think that since it's damage limitation at

the moment the problem is that you know 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 category for many years to come whatever happens it's quite clear the prussians in counseling you're very much inflamed. there's no easy way out of this problem and it could drag on for quite some time. now and elsewhere in the world thousands of marched in hong kong in defiance of a police baton and yet again violent. protesters smashed up shops on the inside of metro stations and lit fires and to beijing rallies of grip the city for months while the rest a frequent feature of thirty's recently introduced an emergency law abiding facemasks chinese the nulls the protests as separatists and accuses foreign countries of meddling in the situation. president of the e.u. council donald has confirmed he's received a request from the u.k.

for a bricks if extension from any of the boris johnson was forced to send a letter asking for more time as after a vote didn't go his way in parliament however he refused to sign the document now in total boris johnson has now sent 3 letters the brussels the one he didn't sign that asks for the brics that extension plus a 2nd from the u.k. some bastard to the e.u. saying the 1st letter was from parliament not from 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. or a success he will now discuss the situation with e.u. leaders before deciding how to wax all this comes after british m.p.'s voted on saturday for an amendment to delay their approval of boris johnson's e.u. divorce deal a deal that was heavily criticized by the opposition. you cannot trust a word that he sighs. mrs perrigo 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 that he knows that we all know is actually who are say. the means deal he knows that if given the option the people reject his bad deal i don't choose to remain in the european yeah yeah what i heard was a man who does 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 vote was on the way in westminster there was

a huge protest outside parliament against writes the organizers of a rally calling for a 2nd before and i'm playing to hundreds of thousands have been marching in london we quiz the analysts about where brics it may be heading now. the problem is not brussels 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 but democracy i say shave off the steel is a bad deal but it's not a catastrophic deal a catastrophic deal is what you can never escape from and when you sort of resume a backstop you could never escape from that 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 a bad and 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 divorce because i think that's fairly settled clearly but

of 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 through 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 despite both sides accusing each other of violations and grow greed 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 you have to let him fight. like 2 kids in 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 really without a little tough love they would have never made this deal turkey's going to be happy the kurds are going to be happy isis is going to be unhappy. with this 5 day windows to allow for the withdrawal of kurdish forces from a designated area on saturday here too involved to continue to crush the heads of terrorists if the kurds don't leave he's a must win to clear fighters from a so-called deep safe so stretching 32 kilometers into syria kurdish political leader has said they welcome the pause in hostilities but will not accept a turkish or q. patient and additionally there's this agreement over the wording of the deal between washington and ankara. 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 of my policies we are posing the operation for the terrorist to lead the safe side and 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. he asked the athlete will take this window of opportunity provided of 120 hours to move out of the way of the advancing turkish army once the s.d.f. leave the area the turkish army may decide that their military objectives have been

made on 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. began its operation earlier this month after the u.s. withdrew its forces from the area managed to get access to one of the bases abandoned by washington these are some pictures from inside we spoke to an 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. horrible. and people. just imagine if any country would like to go on inside another country. international community again is

this invasion and. this is what he wants. in a saudi capital riyadh this week on his 1st visit to the gulf state in over a decade the president held talks with king solomon and the crown prince they disowned long list of deals 20 agreements worth over $22000000000.00 was signed in sectors such as aerospace culture health and advanced technology there are also some gifts handed out with the russian leader presenting his hosts with a rare bird of prey while receiving a painting in return. breaks down the current state of relations between the 2 countries.

saudi arabia and russia is a real. markable 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 will always be very high. my natural time is between saudi arabia and russia have. there is we consider russia to be friend. with ties were established ivan years ago in 1926. was the 1st foreign country to recognize the young kingdom we value 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 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 didn't 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 $2000000000.00 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. of bias against the president spokes person called it a desperate. as comes off an exposé. for the t.v. network whistleblower his material was published by project veritas an american nonprofit watchdog it also includes secret recordings of editorial meetings which reportedly reveal a crusade against trump and bias 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 or a game show or chasing the ratings like you like c.n.n. purports it to be facts 1st and that's clearly not the case. of course one of lord guys the f.s.b. and take a close look at the allegations. 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. the 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 bobby 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 conversations 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 don't write. let it be known 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 have 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 get what i mean i get to give you a question you speak out if you are shaking do 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 you it's a lot. here. it's like it's too. late.

to. be everything. all the time know every one of the major everyone in the know. 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. it's come up to 7 in the morning here in moscow crosstalk coming your way in just a few moments time and the father will be with you i think i'm to give you the latest warning updates. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be close to survival before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should all. exists is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers they're in the bad was there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. seats do cookouts those experts demand that same school sets their classes chris to take with me on my end i need to stay on your social projects funding he tells it

depends. on i knew that that is the end of it for the team but fun now the mountains of waste only grow. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also the. very dark so. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they

can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be seeing if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more road we give them the sooner we are all. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle do elections mean anything anymore well ask the ukrainians they have a new president and a new parliament a change come slowly if at all in ukraine corruption and neo nazis blocked the way forward.

cross talking some real news i'm joined by my guest robert bridge he's a r.t. website writer we also have nick like petro he is a professor of political science at the university of rhode island and of course we're joined by dmitri bobbitt he's a political analyst and editor and interest me internet media project originally cross-talk rules and effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it robert let me go to you 1st here i think a lot of people going to be surprised by the content of our program because when you crane is in the new. they're thinking of joe biden paul man for 2016 election the d.n.c. we could go on and on and of course the famous phone call between the presidents of the united states and ukraine but we're going to talk about ukraine in a different way in a way that most people are not following we had an election where we have a new president and we have a new parliament overwhelmingly supported his agenda and him personally but doesn't

seem to have much traction yes that's very true and it's unfortunate that you have this element this far right neo fascist element in ukraine that is really calling the shots and it's amazing to me that. zelinsky has 77 or maybe it's less now i think is about 66 percent support of the people that's a lot you know it's quite alive percent voted for him and i don't understand now how it's possible when you have this love of public support that the street can rise up like it has when when i'm starting to wonder when is it going to get to the point when the people say no we don't want another made up because that's basically what the neo i guess called the nazis yes we're going to that's basically what they're calling for there apparently there are there are reports that they're out there threatening possible how did we get to this point because you have to ask basic questions put to shame call came in as a centrist left i think is a much more nationalist right winger and we have zelinsky is very much

a moderate i think his message resonated with the public so is he weak the institutions weak or both or is it just because there's a free fringe group out there that's trying to call the shots. last. february 2014 demonstrated the weakness of basic institutions of government in ukraine and the absence of any understanding of the concept of rule of law and that has persisted from then on there is lip service to the terms but no deep commitment or understanding of it i would take a slightly different tack with respect to the right wing neo nazi element in ukrainian politics it exists it has an outsized influence but i don't think it is really.
