turkey's president meets a lot of more putin to discuss the current escalation in syria as a 5 day pause in the turkish military operation against kurdish forces there and today. another night of protest in barcelona leads to a split between the protesters targeting police with vandalism and those who support the force who've been giving out flowers. also this hour north macedonia has called early elections after its hopes of joining the european union were dashed despite apparently meeting the requirements. and the british charity is demanding the u.k. takes back all children of terrorists who left for the middle east and not just

those who have been orphaned our guest debate the issues raised. some of that will be very dangerous this is bringing back problems. but it's. the law it's the last response both east. you're watching are to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 5 pm welcome to the program turkey's president is in russia's black sea resort city of sochi where he's holding talks with vladimir putin which have now stretched on for 3 hours earlier kremlin spokesperson or in the media making any exaggerated forecasts hinting the talks were expected to be tough despite the situation in syria casting a cloud over the genda the president seemed in high spirits when they greeted each other. with you. but with you there was going to.

be possible to be a change. the turkish offensive against kurdish forces in syria of course forms the center of their talks president and one has warned it will resume imminently if the u.s. fails to keep its promises as a 5 day cease fire brokered by washington and at 10 pm local time has more from such as. the current level of trust between the leaders of turkey and russia just how well and gets along with moscow nowadays means that at this point the presidents of russia and turkey could find common ground on just about anything even though technically with the northeast syria crisis it could be fair to say that moscow and ankara are on the their friend sides of the barricades when no one came to see vladimir putin here in saatchi the russian president was confident that their friendship will help. the situation in the region is very delicate we all

understand and i think the meeting today is necessary given the level attained by russian relations i hope we can play a role in resolving the difficult questions that have arisen this will be in the interest of turkey russia and aid to countries the region. and in fact it could be even more complicated than chess because there are way more than 2 players just think about everything that happened before top aired on came to see vladimir putin earlier this month turkey wants to war with the kurds in northern syria who by the way for years were fighting islamic state in that country side by side with american forces but then also earlier this month we remember that the american president donald trump said that his soldiers should get out of there and that left the. face to face with the might of the turkish army which is also a nato member now just take

a listen to one of donald trump's very latest statement on that crisis situation with the kurds to be a good relationship with us but we don't. you know protect the courage we spoke with them for 4 years we never agreed to protect the kurds for the rest of us but the kurdish forces weren't alone for a very long time because they managed to hammer out a surprise a license with the damascus government of bashar assad which is obviously backed by russia and by the way as i've said moscow has so far were framed for many strong statements or moves in response to what turkey has been up to like the officials in america for example take one of the latest remarks by u.s. secretary of state mike who said that the u.s. is ready for any moves including military action if the situation requires this. this is where because the question is whether they're actually ready to somehow go

against a nato ally on the other hand we do have to remember that it was the west vice president who convinced the turkish president type baird to want to announce the 120 hour cease fire with the kurds and guess when that expires tonight but it will happen after the presidents of russia and turkey talk so let's wait for what they decide and what they share with us journalists. we cross live now to security and political analyst omar now xabi now how will the talks between the turkish and russian presence affect the current crisis in syria. well of course this meeting is a central because i think the 5 day truth was. very important and it ends tonight and therefore there should be a continuation of this kind of stability of the situation so that not more

bloodshed to avoid the additional bloodshed now this is a big challenge and i think the talks were complicated we would wait and see the press conference we're still waiting for the press conference we're still waiting to see what came out of this meeting however i think russia is the in the best position to actually create a kind of a settlement or a kind of an agreement that would conflict down and this is what i had said before on this channel i think that russia has a very good relations with the syrian government it is the sitting government that is legally responsible of this whole region that is part of syria so therefore i think and the russian forces are there on the ground i think that russia can create a kind of an agreement or a kind of office but have some sort of got emptied that there would be no threats to the turkish territory and the turkish border however the turkish forces would have to withdraw from this from this area of the turkish forces are they locked

into withdrawal because they believe that haven't completed their mission by actually. weakening the kurdish forces there however the situation cannot go on with the mortar violence because this is an area that is already almost completely destroyed and the turkish agenda is to bring in the actual refugees or part of the refugees and settle them in the safe zone now this is a very big challenge because this saves on has almost no infrastructure it is very difficult to actually maintain life in this zone so this is an area also that will have to be discussed and an issue that will have to be discussed and that was discussed i believe in the beating. do you think any agreements between the 2 between the russian and turkish president will work without america's participation . yes yes i think we are living historic times for

the 1st time i believe in history and studied history i believe that the russia has a very important impact on the region on this part of the world on the middle east russia had never had you know so much impact on this region as it has today and the americans since the last 50 years they weren't as weak and as incredible they don't have any credibility in this part of the world especially after they actually messed up with the peace talks regarding the central issue that is the palestinian issue by moving the embassy to jerusalem so that that made them lose the ability in the region now russia is playing a very important role it is the main guarantee for a kind of stability and for an agreement that we can reach hopefully this meeting came up with an agreement i think it is the agreement is the to the interests of the turks because that it is not really a good idea to actually create another award that would lead to more violence and

more destruction more threats to turkey. security and political analysts omar thank you for your time and your comments. the unrest in barcelona shows no signs of easing pro independence demonstrations are into their 2nd week now with rioters targeting police again last night amid the violence police vehicles were vandalized and protesters also demonstrated outside a government building they want madrid to open talks on catalonia future and say they won't back down. anyone has become random everyone is together young and old people right and left me oh people are outraged we're going to be out in the streets every day we have been protesting peacefully for a lot of years no one hurt us the only thing that we get from the government is beatings and disk. what people have had enough we've reached all breaking point about protesters also booed the spanish prime minister on his visit to barcelona on

monday spoke to injured officers in the hospital but he refused to meet with the president of the local government. looks at how the latest protests unfolded. thank you. but he battleground to barcelona for days or rather nights the city has been reliving the same scenario from a peaceful march to the violence in the flesh of a stun grenade. spearheading the end raster these guys there aren't hiding from the cameras quite the opposite they're waving flags and dancing they're not the main force though think of them as cheerleaders but these guys while they are the real deal they hide their faces behind masks and ballet class they're ruthless and violent they're armed to what

stone spit tronson grenades a new thing they can use to wreak as much havoc as possible their main focus the police. thank you. and police are facing a difficult task every night they put themselves on the line every night as like a battlefield i can't say these things and it is necessary to distinguish the 2 types of protesters the 1st ones are just demonstrators and they're nonviolent but there's a group of youngsters who triggered all these violent incidents that we all saw in the photos called it is just as real and the security as violent protesters use dangerous weapons and they threw molotov cocktails and bottles with acid at us it is a new situation for us we haven't faced this. on such a level before so yes we feel threatened both spanish and catalan authorities

confirm that there are radical elements that hijacked the protests you could have their limited ability i think that the independence movement sciences has always been peaceful democratic a nonviolent and it is demonstrating that yes radical groups which we've condemned have created some scenes which we've disliked enormously and which we reject and we condemn. you know police would know that they have the backing of citizens because the guarantor some of the most brushes which is the defense of public and civil rights so thank you for your work and thank you for containment in the face of big . while thousands of barcelona citizens marching average night condemned the recent violence and even try to support the local police forces this is how's the building of barcelona pity's quarters looks like at this moment and the citizens of the city continue to bring down worse at the gate and

a show of support for the work they have been doing for the past days are fun rest and some have even taking it further and put up posters on the walls which state clearly thank you just because of those i also support the catalogue and i want to say the majority of police support the constitution. that i as a catalan and spanish citizen want to say think you believe all that work in the bus or. have a lot of friends who work for the police and i support them so far the radicals have free frayne from calling for a direct assault on police like in hong kong but with such overwhelming support hope pretty it will never come to that i do not question r t reporting from barcelona. north macedonia has called early elections after a setback and it's been. to become an member that's despite the country apparently meeting the conditions laid down for its admission to enter talks along with 5

other balkan states were blocked by france president emmanuel mccrum said that you needed to reform before expanding that decision was criticised by other leaders the outgoing european commission. said it was an historic error tell the house more. power it's the city of love unless you don't know which is just being dumped by president might call the balkan countries been dealt a bit blow off the e.u. said no it twits joining its club and like any wrong it's the e.u. is going to look back with regrets she was a great injustice was inflicted on us in brussels the european union did not deliver on its promise i'm disappointed and angry but what makes this rejection all the more painful is that northwestern has been gunning to be brought into the fold for a long time and has made several significant sacrifices to that end at all and it's

worth mentioning by the e.u. itself for example just over 10 years ago it officially recognized kosovo off to the last declaration of independence from sabia precisely because it's the position of both nato and the e.u. but perhaps the biggest compromise it made was when it changed its very dentity to brussels e.u. member states greece has an ancient region called macedonia and was a bit miffed that just across the border another country was using the very same name taking the high road muster don't you decide to lay the historical dispute to bed. with the e.u. by adding north before it simple but brussels was playing hard to get over all the muck or was off to 7 hours of wrangling behind closed doors the french president vetoed opening talks. on the issue the only one of 28 members to do so and he used the classic it's not you it's me phrase before we decide to enlarge

the e.u. we need to reform ourselves the fallout is potentially significant prime minister siva is calling for a snap election ready but more crucially given its violent and troubled past there are now concerns whether this decision will jeopardize peace in the region this is not a moment of glory for the e.u. to refuse acknowledgment of proven progress will have negative consequences including the risk of destabilisation of the western balkans with full impact on the e.u. but that unlike any decent jump to his just not quite ready to close the door on his love interest well maybe sometimes when i introduce mr donald to us i would like to send a message. please you know the give up. i fully understand your frustration. because she did your show. we have it

so also not not just joining the e.u. is still in the future of north macedonia but while brussels what some itself may be the balkan country should ask the question what anything have to do would be good enough for there is pure crap in brussels. r.t. paris. still to come farmers across europe are unhappy with the latest agricultural plans saying they endanger family run businesses and that after the break. you know world big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that midst. media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each

other it's time for critical thinking it's tied to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. and what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to. let you go right to the press this is like the 43 in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters in the house. they sit.

back and urgent question on british children trapped in syria has been raised to day in the u.k. parliament. so our international allies are already used the 5 day cease fire to fulfill their duties and repatriate their own children if we do nothing will be abandoning our moral obligations and risking those vulnerable children who growing up in a war torn area may be turning into terrorists themselves does the u.k. take responsibility for british children and what do we can answer that in terms of the principle let me be clear we are doing what we can given the difficult circumstances on the ground of course within the rule of law for vulnerable children in north east syria this is a peace city's rapidly developing rapidly changing and of course we keep all things under review every single day we delay in actually bringing these children home is

a day extra of trauma that we are going to have to address at great expense in the united kingdom i understand really 3 of the children are all foods out of the 60 who are british families so what numbers are we talking about precisely we don't want just 3 children taken out of the 6 and taken out of. that debate came after u.k. charity demanded the government rescues young children born to i saw fighters a british origin and also urged authorities to make use of the current cease fire in northeast syria between turkey and the kurds. we have an opportunity in the next few days urgently to repatriate them to bring them back home these are children in 85 percent of them across these camps are under 12. more than nearly half toddlers so they are not they are innocent children they are not responsible for the crimes that their parents have committed and we need to separate. the charity says 60 u.k.

children are currently trapped in the region the figure is twice that previously reported and many are thought to be under 5 years old however the u.k. foreign secretary has said britain will only help those who are orphans. in relation to minors unaccompanied minors or orphans i can tell you that assuming that they would represent no security threats we would be willing to see them return home if that can be done in a safe way given the situation on the ground earlier neil harvey discussed the issue with the secretary general of the european muslim league and the former head of the u.k. counterterrorism office. well of course as children they are completely innocent and almost certainly they don't at this moment pose any threat i think the difficulty comes with those that are with their parents who have made the deliberate choice to go to these places and are potentially really very dangerous

themselves i disagree britain's position. citizenship i think that is totally rabbits' the actions written cup dictate not. right. and i think now citizenship should be restored we haven't brilliant legal system if those parents have committed defense let's put them through as a colt's i do think as was mentioned before we've got some brilliant legal system that's going to protect the public well it just won't do that there is not going to be enough evidence to deal with the with the parents there's not going to be enough evidence because the people that have witnessed atrocities are going to be dead in iraq and syria so let's be honest we're we're going to we're going to know very little about some of these people actually whether they are kids from british parents is another part of this we have to be careful because it's ok same we

should bring these people back book actually would you like them living next door to you know you probably wouldn't do and i think we need to make sure that we've got the systems in place and the lock up those people for as long as we possibly can that are a danger to us but the children of course should be treated differently and should be given every. chance to to get themselves back into civilized society if one is more complicated maybe one parent is still alive or both parents to lie the so-called i sold child what do you do did you bring these children back and say you deserve a better life or do you just leave them to their fate no you can't leap that meant it was certain. you know especially in that area because they would be in danger of being radicalized let's bring them home cook them to counseling give them the back up in the they need let's be quite clear that if these people do come back the vast majority if not all of them will not go through the court system they will be

released into society some of them will be very very dangerous and in fact some of these children we call in them children depending on your a you know what you consider a child their age range but some of them will be very dangerous that this is bringing back problems i do have concerns but i also realize that house response abilities and we have no problems on the rest of the words we don't know how secure those holding facilities are and you know we britain must take responsibility and it is not doing not at the moment as real dangers wherever these people end up because they are radicalized most of the youngsters will have been through some kind of radicalization piece they are going to be very dangerous and it's all very well us bringing them back but some of our live next door to them and someone may well end up dying as a result of one of these people coming back. farmers across europe are venting

their anger at the e.u.'s agricultural policy is claiming they endanger a smaller family run businesses in the french city of strasburg farmers descended on the european parliament and over in germany a number of cities join the protests with thousands and bonn surrounding a ministry building on berlin an army of tractors took over the streets as eventual success reports. german farmers got on their tractors on tuesday and drove from nearby brenda bourke to berlin protesting against governments recent our 3 cultural policies about 1000 of those with 300 tractors flooded the streets of berlin in order to protest. against the recent government policies the farmers are calling out the government from not including them into the recent policy making all of the arche cultural policies they have done since september they feel that they are left out of any decisions they are made the government is proposing to reduce nitride

levels in the groundwater because they have been pressured by the european union germany has exceeded those levels mainly because of life stuck in the country among other things the government said that there will be recusing we killers in germany by 2023 but many german farmers are still coping with the excess amount of nitrogen from the past they believe the government policies will endanger their family or run farms or something but they work so hard to earn their protests 2 to 70 cities in germany say they mean hamburg and unix and hanover should start the largest one and bond with 10000 people who are disappearing in front of germany's army cultural headquarters. that's a global news up for now but i'll be back at the top the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in.

there are no official statistics in india concerning children who have been lost or separated from their parents some are to estimate that every 8 minutes in the country the child goes missing. not. only does. the national human rights commission stated that 44 sounds and my nose go missing every one of 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.

there is no variety in any of the characters that make a bomb of violence any more everything is that 00 is predominate every single conversation that comes out of the mouth of every financial writer in the press and on television it is 0 every security is now based on the 0 and the entire mix of this phantasmagoria of the global finance is is all blending together and soon one . of the worst was cut.

greetings and sal you've tasted the controversy criticism and political spin that is still swirling around us president donald trump's decision to pull u.s. forces from the turkey syria border and like always the donald took to twitter over the weekend to depend his decision tweeting that according to mark as the u.s. secretary of defense the ceasefire is holding up very nicely there are some minor skirmishes that have ended quickly new areas being resettled with the kurds trump

went on to exclaim in the now deleted tweet usa soldiers are not in combat or cease fire zones we have secured the oil bringing soldiers home. but not actually really. you see there is reason that our brand name and she deleted the tweet 1st as many critics rightfully pointed out the us secretary to punch his last name is not as wiranto it's actually a spur and 2nd those u.s. troops are not coming home from n.b.c. de b.c. and all the various news outlets in between they are now reporting that the punch secretary mark s. per esper said late saturday that all of the nearly 1000 u.s. troops pulling out of northern syria will now had to western iraq to continue the campaign against islamic state militants so on last we are now counting iraq as our 51st state maybe sorry but no one is coming home mr president a victory day it is not in fact we are far from pulling troops out of the middle

east as this map.
