10:01 pm
live from moscow thanks for joining us in our teams actually i'm daniel hawkins where you're tuning in from tonight's program. turkey sees no need to continue its military offensive in northern syria that's according to ankara following talks it comes off for a 6 hour meeting between the presidents of russia and turkey in the black sea resort of sochi which has resulted in a new plan for syria. to reports. you know. with putting new project into practice i hope it will work well for congress and all people as friends of the syrian people and the neighbors will read it to dog best to achieve these instability in the country syria should be free of any own little foreign presence the long term stability of syria can only be achieved by observing the silver and unity of the country right now vladimir putin and top are to want to have shaken their hands and the 10 paragraph agreement is there there
10:02 pm
are many elements to it 1st of all it ensures that all the involved saw ides respects the territorial integrity of syria but more importantly if we look into it the greenman means that russia agreed to turkey's desired 30 kilometer buffer zone along the border and means that the kurdish militias now have 150 hours to leave that area parts of the zone will later be patrolled by russia's military police and the turkish military plus another paragraph rules that control over the turkish syrian border on the syrian side should be returned to the syrian government forces and by the way vladimir putin has already been on the phone with the syrian president bashar al assad and we know already that damascus is pleased with the outcome of today's talks between putin
10:03 pm
aired on it's also very important that if everything goes according to plan the turkish offensive will be put on hold for another 150 hours as i've said so clearly a breakthrough after a talks that lasted well longer than originally expected by the turkish president and the russian leader vladimir putin when. the main questions right now is where all this leaves the us and this is exactly what i asked of the russian minister of defense and the russian foreign minister who continued talking to the journalists after the leaders left and to that surrogate lavrov reminded us that russia believes that the american troops and their involvement in syria was illegal in the 1st place and certain the top russian army official reminded us of the expiring
10:04 pm
deadline of the so-called previous ceasefire brokered between washington and ankara and expressed some real skepticism about the americans fulfilling their promises the united states has very little time left to fulfill their obligations very soon the time bar expires which was meant to see moving heavy equipment away combat units and so on the seeing it russian officials went on to bring up a few other issues that are still out there regardless of the greenman for example the fate of eisel terrorists that were released as a result of this vacuum when the turkish army didn't and terror just yet but the kurdish militias had already retreated according to surrogate hundreds of. fighters have run free at this point there's also the refugee issue and many others but again judging by what we heard throughout choose day after these
10:05 pm
extended talks between the leaders of russia and turkey the level of trust and the friendship between the leaders their relationship that they've established in the last few years allows them to deal with pretty much any difficulties in that area given that right now they are clearly the number one players when it comes to dealing with the situation in northeast syria respect to belittle analysts you saw ephedrine who think that this new deal between russia and turkey sets in stone the conditions anker agreed to earlier with the united states. it's a very important deal and while both sides didn't get everything that they wanted they got enough where we can leave that they were happy and these were. now when we would from a turkish perspective turkish was able to mend the diplomatic gains it made at the table with the united states by having them onto the field by dealing with the
10:06 pm
russians because of well in reality the u.s. presence is waiting in the last real power brokers in syria or turkey and russia so any deal with the americans to have a meaningful consequence on the deal needs to be reaffirmed by the russian president that's exactly what the turkish president did today he had this deal and we see that he did the trick he's not dealing directly with the regime through russia you see that the regime is happy with this deal to the opposition is happy with this deal. with this deal and the russians are happy with this deal so it's a win win for everybody from my point of view. after facing repeated accusations that he betrayed the kurds in syria the u.s. president seems to be shifting to a strategy where he's on more comfortable ground that's business president trump has announced he's thinking of leaving some troops in syria though it's not for the
10:07 pm
benefit of america's allies. i don't want to leave there it's very dangerous for you have an army on both sides of those for those terms would have been well. i don't think it's. necessary other than we should give the region where we've been asked by israel and jordan to only a small number of troops is a totally different section of syria so we have a small group there and we should hear if you know of the there's no reason for a. while strong puts himself he's there to stop analysts wars in the middle east u.s. leaders said he was against america going into iraq but since they were there it was worth keeping the oil despite all the means linking the u.s. invasion to oil refineries u.s. military officials claim there's a far more serious strategy behind. we have troops in towns in south in northeast syria that are located next to the oil fields the troops in those towns or not in the present phase of withdrawal the purpose of those forces
10:08 pm
a purpose of those forces working with the s.d.f. is to deny access to those oil fields by isis and others who may benefit from their revenues it could be earned international oil economist octomom to some i believe washington is not in the position to decide the future and even the present situation of syria's oil. the united states should not be in see it in the 1st place and they are occupying hsien oil fields at a time when the us out of preventing other countries from supper lying to syria the united states is acting like a judge and jury un it comes to the only if he is owed syria then it is not eason for a benefit to stay there and the o. is not a betty has to so that it can divide it between the codes and between its own
10:09 pm
benefit the oil belongs to see any ad its people and it is high time for the united states to be has to be have in a better way and leave syria and its own. british m.p.'s have once again dealt a blow to boris johnson's hopes the getting his bricks of bill through parliament it was an act of the government's timetable to approve the withdrawal bill during the debate parliament slammed the p.m.'s idea to pick through the would draw agreements in just 3 days. we warned on saturday that if the house passes the government's deal it would be a disaster for our country ok now as we look through the details of the bill we see just how right we were page after page of what amounts to nothing less than a charter for deregulation and a race to the bottom of the bill was published last night it takes time to have the
10:10 pm
fictive scrutiny of this sort of prime minister doesn't care about process about parliament or about the rule of law but their own piece approved of the withdrawal agreement itself boris johnson isn't ready to continue discussion without his timetable artie's shadi edwards dusty reports. breck's it where is it being left no one really can answer that question but what i can tell you is that today there has been 2 crucial votes on breaks at the 1st one on the withdrawal agreement bill boris johnson's plans that actually went through with the majority of it's the 2nd one that's potentially controversial with the bricks it plans because that was all about the timetable to implement to get the largest legislation through parliament in time just 3 days was what the timetable had in place 1st johnson losing about one then and he said in fact he would decide to take a poll in the bracks it process and stat putting the ball back in the court until
10:11 pm
we reach is what i was saying we would all be legislation let me be clear let me be clear our policy remains that we should ignore delivery that we should leave. the 31st. that is what i would say to the e.u. i'm going to report back to her well it failed to go through for numerous reasons the key one being because it simply did not give m.p.'s enough time to properly scrutinize and sift through the pages law by law and they were handed the document very late last night and it was a 110 pages long to get all the legislation around it through in just 3 days time seems to be like a monumental task for many m.p.'s and that simply is the reason why it was voted down and speaking directly also that defeat jeremy corbin the leader of the opposition took to the floor and what he suggested is giving boris johnson olive
10:12 pm
branch saying actually let's pave a sensible way forward and look out of reasonable extension earliest forests johnson said if it fell to go in his favor well here pull the whole bill entirely and that's something that he said in fact he'd go for a general election instead. probably to a large group to have. a gets its win decides to delay everything until january and possibly longer in new circumstances cry most of the book will have to be pulled and we will have to go forward much as the writer would like it we will have to go to a general election well much comparison has been made with boris johnson and his predecessor theresa may if we call some minds back to her in her premiership she was working with a majority of plus 10 and still felt sick i have vision through parliament 3 times cut a long story short then if we look at barra's johnson he is working with a majority of minus $45.00 but today he managed to get support for his deal but the
10:13 pm
fact is his timetable didn't go through and that meant that boris johnson threatened a general election over his failed attempts which actually looks like he's taking a leaf out of tourism ace books the government should cool the general election to be held on the 8th of june they have a simple challenge to the opposition parties who have criticised the government's vision for brics it you have a child in charge actives you have threatened to block the legislation we put before parliament. this is your moment to show you beat it so this defeat on the program motion essentially 1st of all right back into the european union's court and earlier today the european commission president john he said that it has wasted enough time and energy and now is the time to simply move forward in order for it but according to donald tusk all eyes are on forest johnson in parliament as to see
10:14 pm
what they would then do next you should be ready for you. but while watching closely because. there's a search to try him in this. low deal drugs it will be our dishes so it looks like m.p.'s ploughs the european union we're all running out of patience with breck set and boris johnson's plans if we take a look at the timeline it's been 3 and a half years since that 2016 praxair referendum but as for today yes boris johnson got backing for his deal but he didn't get backing for the timeline essentially it pressed bars johnson between a rock and a hard place for milan the mayor ken livingstone things will be a long time before the government rechoose any final agreement over breaks it with parliament boris has lost more votes in just 3 months as a prime minister than any other prime minister now history was going to be many amendments to this legislation which is
10:15 pm
a very large bill $110.00 pages covering the environment workers' rights trade deals and so on and most probably even a amendment to say that once this act of parliament is passed only becomes law if a rain referendum means the british people support it so we're not going to be out at the end of this month because this is going to go on for several weeks perhaps even towards the end of the year and no one can foretell where we're going to end up with the government and the opposition need to agree how long this act of parliament to please you created how many amendments would be put down but if boris doesn't agree just to be like prince warfare going on we can't do we. facebook is going to flag state run media accounts on this on its platform as part of a bid to protect next year's presidential election from foreign interference social networks also planning to combat in authentic behavior and make political ads more
10:16 pm
transparent auntie's egos none of has more. it all comes from the best of intentions it seems sweep away trolls and other unholy creatures from under the facebook bridge except will team phase will really be able to tell right from wrong in the u.s. we have the benefit of a free press and because of that we think it's especially important to call the media coming from any country around the world is acting as an organ of the government and no the free press mark zuckerberg is clearly implying that the free american media on the one hand and government funded propaganda produces on the other what he forgets though is that the us has a whole governmental body with the millions of dollars in its coffers tasked with exactly that funding the major voice of america radio free europe the middle east broadcasting networks are just some of the outlets right there in the pocket of the
10:17 pm
u.s. agency for global media or as it was formerly and more well known of the. facebook intentionally or not doesn't seem too eager to look at them this way and controversy doesn't end there these social network has never shied away from censoring what gets into your feed and what doesn't and it can really boast a sharpshooter's track record with this tell me this have you ever had busch you know the soup if not you should because it's great it's delicious and if yes you might be a victim of russian deception at least according to facebook it recently banned a page with some 40000 subscribers that was posting recipes of the russian institution i don't know what's more authentic than a russian posting about how to make beef stroganoff and yet facebook deems itself worthy of calling out in authentic behavior over the last 3 years we worked
10:18 pm
identify new and emerging threats and remove gordon. inauthentic behavior across all apps as part of our effort to counter foreign influence complaints this morning we removed 4 separate networks of accounts pages and groups and facebook and instagram for engaging in coordinated an authentic behavior 3 of them originated in the round and one in russian so one facebook makes a statement like this we want to help people better understand the sources of news content they see on facebook so they can make informed decisions about what they're reading it seems that the network itself needs some help understanding what's going on on its pages it could be said of facebook is not independent either because again facebook arguably is the dream by a particular agenda and when you look at the least of expert facebook call dean in order to help determine the new policy they pretty much made out of the use
10:19 pm
certain groups that are very well known for a very particular point of view mostly. liberal extreme liberal and so on and so forth what the focus seem to be on is whether the organization can demonstrate to facebook independent editorial control that's a very difficult question i think or the very difficult thing to do to stop. north macedonia has called early elections after a setback in its bid to become an e.u. member at the spot the country apparently meeting the conditions laid down for its admission the entry talks along with 5 other balkan states were blocked by france president a vital micron's said the e.u. needed to reform before expanding so that decision was criticized by other leaders the outgoing european commission boss sean quote said it was a historic era. has more. power us the city
10:20 pm
of love unless you're more for us who 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 twits joining its club and like any wrong it's sure the e.u. is going to look back with for grabs surely 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 for jackson all the more painful is that northwestern has been gunning to be brought into the news 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.
10:21 pm
but perhaps the biggest compromise it made was when it changed its very identity 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 under grey sheet itself 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 $28.00 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 fool is potentially significant prime ministers i was calling for a snap election ready but more crucially given its violent i'm troubled. past there
10:22 pm
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 acknowledgement 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 like any decent gentleman 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. below to give up. i fully understand your frustration. because she did your show. we haven't so also not nost joining the e.u. is still in the future of north macedonia but while brussels works on itself maybe the balkan countries should ask the question what anything have to do or be good
10:23 pm
enough for those bureaucrats in brussels. r.t. paris. city's president has addressed the nation apologizing for the country's social crisis and announcing economic reforms that as the country continues to be gripped by some of the worst address that seen in 3 decades. i. thousands of people are still demonstrating a week after the protests began over an increase in subway phase with at least 15 people dead so far protestors have vandalized metro stations stores and lit fires police have responded with riot gear and tear gas the president's now expanded the state of emergency beyond the capital but half of chile's regions are now on the emergency decree with some even under a military curfew. members of the u.s.
10:24 pm
congress are calling for a regiment of ukraine's national guard to be recognized as a terrorist organization the so-called azoff the talons accuse of being involved with white supremacy movements in america donald quarter takes a look at the apparent change of heart. and maybe yet another story of militants once friendly to the u.s. and now finding themselves on washington's terror list congress is urging the state department to do so with the azoff battalion and 2 other the far right paramilitary groups while the subcommittee leading the charge is looking for support on both sides of the political spectrum i'm baffled as to why my republican colleagues have refused to sign on to this not only on as of italian national action and nordic resistance movement directly connected to inspiring attacks in the homeland direct purveyors of anti semitic ideologies that inspire attacks against jews the state department has yet to respond but their contemplation is understandable given they fought washington's battles in the past but these guys are not your everyday
10:25 pm
10:26 pm
nation was in shock such a large gathering of the extreme right a protester killed but there were other events lurking in. background that got barely any media coverage the organizers of these right wing riots actually flew to ukraine and were trained by the as of the taliban on august 1st 2018 and instagram user tagged right brand clothings account in a post containing a photograph of rise above movement members during their trip to germany ukraine and italy meeting with simone young the leader of the international department for the national couper which is a political party in the ukraine that was founded in 2016 out of a regiment of the ukrainian military called the azoff battalion only a year later a u.s. soldier was charged with planning a terrorist attack he was planning to join you guessed it as off the tally and
10:27 pm
smith was reported to have disseminated guidance on how to construct improvised explosive devices and to have spoken about his desire to travel to ukraine to fight with the ukraine based violent far right paramilitary group as of battalion once they come knocking on the us his door they become a lot scarier some of the more radical groups including these the one with nazi ideology are not really happy with listers lenski and they're putting a lot of pressure on him not to go forward with any kind of status for the dorm boss any kind of reconciliation that would lead to an end of the law or in the standoff with russia so i don't know why suddenly these congressmen who are by no means. unsupportive of ukraine as a as a tool against russia and are not happy i'm sure with any kind of an issue for mr boucher lansky why they would undermine people who up till now have been their allies in ukraine so there are a lot of paradoxes and. it's kind of tough last 5 in the morning here in moscow the

there are no official statistics in india concerning children who have been lost or separated from their parents some to estimate that every minutes in the country a child goes missing. while you go through. what you believe. the national team and rights commission stated that $45000.00 minors go missing every year while the police quoted. the united nations children's fund has described the situation as genocide and various sources suggested in india there are several 1000000 missing women and children. and we don't know what facebook's aims are in fact facebook doesn't know what its
