the moment in our fight against terror but the battle against the evil of dying is not yet over or moscow has cast doubt on the exact events not yet over or moscow has cast doubt on the exact events it also sais that the death of the ice a leader will change the situation in us it also sais that the death of the ice a leader will change the situation in syria that for you has been echoed by the pentacle fronts on the united kingdom but for syria that for you has been echoed by the pentacle fronts on the united kingdom but for donald trump the death of baghdadi was a crucial item on his to do list double trouble with the death of baghdadi was a crucial item on his to do list as he said on off explains he was a terrorist number one as igor said on off explains he was a terrorist number one now he's thrown is up for the taking. a brutal one

now he's thrown is up for the taking a brutal killer one who is cause so much hardship and death a killer one who is cause so much hardship and death. has violently been eliminated he died like a dog has violently been eliminated he died like a dog he died like a coward. diety the only dog he died like a coward. diety the only dog to be blessed with all 9 lives apparently because since 2015 to be blessed with all 9 lives apparently because since 2015 various reports proclaimed him dead at least 5 times the america various reports proclaimed him dead at least 5 times the americans did it the russians did it he was bombed captured poisoned did it the russians did it he was bombed captured

poisoned and months later appeared in rare new video struggling to breathe hope and 10 months later appeared in rare new video struggling to breathe hope into his dwindling caliphate now donald trump in his signature call to his dwindling caliphate now donald trump in his signature cocky tone has joined the choir which has been announcing al baghdadi is deaths for ketone has joined the choir which has been announcing alberg dieties deaths for years from the 1st day i came to office and now we're getting close to 3 years years from the 1st day i came to office and now we're getting close to 3 years i would say where's baghdadi i want al baghdadi was i would say where's baghdadi i want al baghdadi for trump killing our bug daddy is a line he'd love to add for trump killing our bug daddy is

a line he'd love to add to his presidential resume because now he's just as good as obama with his booze presidential resume because now he's just as good as obama with his been low. no peroration but from being trump he didn't stop a just in laden operation but from being trump he didn't stop it just taking credit for the kill he's taken it to a whole new level taking credit for the kill he's taken it to a whole new level baghdadi has been on the run for many years long before baghdadi has been on the run for many years long before i took office but in my direction as or i took office but my direction as commander in chief should be for the a night of it it's the

a date not said it's it's it's it's we have a book literate it it we'll blitter raided his caliphate disk a fake 10106 cent percent. in law and machaut of the church of this year this year it's been 8 years since bin laden's death. it's been 8 years since bin laden's death al-qaeda as it has gone and many will go and then anywhere but daddy was. for sure the 1st caliph and after the 1st comes the 2nd and the 3rd aleph and after the 1st comes the 2nd and the 3rd from the force albert died the alpha luigi. from the force albert died the alpha luigi ramadi there's enough cities and villages in iraq for every terrorist so the

terrorist there's enough cities and villages in iraq for every terrorist so the terrorist king is dead long live the king. king is dead long live the king. we're joined live now in our 1st person some a nominal us is. he is he is a city in your city and your journalist. has covered the region extend since to be good to have you and you in the studio with me. assuming he is dead how significant assuming he is dead how significant a development is that what extent will i still be weakened a development is that what extent will i still be weakened by the essentially the demise of itself declared by. essentially the demise of its self

declared caliphate here well they've lost the territory long ago i mean caliphate here well they've lost the territory long goal i mean what we're dealing with for all intents and purposes are small bands of. what we're dealing with for all intents and purposes are small bands of. leftover bands of fighters there their power their true power was was left over bands of fighters their power their true power was was broken long ago with the end of the diety if it's confirmed then that's a big if broken long ago with the end of the if it's confirmed then that's a big if always because he's been dead what 5 times by now is would be a significant develop all ways because he's been dead what 5 times by now is would be a significant development in so far as he declared himself the collie from and in and

. there it is some self the colleague and this the manner of his death has been. there only the the manner of his death has been. there only the legitimising to that particular role somebody who claims to have the mandate of heaven such as it is and my sink to that particular role somebody who claims to have the mandate of heaven such as it is and you know ending in such a fashion which i think was the purpose of president trump's comments the way he you know ending in such a fashion which i think was the purpose of president trump's comments the way he phrased it. so i don't think there's always some grateful to pretty phrase that. so i don't think there's always grateful to predict these things because we've seen things we've seen terrorist organizations big these things because we've seen things we've seen terrorist organizations bounce bounce back so that they could be so that they could. but if they don't act i think all you will of course and think

they will the question is i suppose have potent he is a i suppose have. a global recruiting tool is his figure in itself i don't as long as he was alive there was a hope that is figure in itself i don't as long as he was alive there was a hope that the caliphate could rise up again under him but i don't think i don't think that's an entire the caliphate could rise up again under him but i don't think i don't think that's until all of these the no longer an issue one of the big aspects of this is that my daddy was showing an issue one of the big aspects of this is that my daddy was sheltering in the area under the control of hyatt. of course. an area under the control of hyatt that's of course qaeda affiliate which is fought against eyes old has been numerous battles between the 2

in the past affiliate which is fought against the eyes old have been numerous battles between the 2 in the past does not tell us anything about this well before they were enemies they were always do. they sold beef for form they were in their enemies they were allies you know when you consider that the original i would became eisel rose from al qaeda in iraq. it's these these alliances are the rock. these these alliances are these enmities are mostly sort of wars between. are mostly sort of. wars between. wars between bandits that and having no honor. i think it's mostly between bandits that and having no honor. i think it's mostly that. most interesting to me is that groups like. that. most interesting to me is that

groups like. looser or however they were called before were presented in the western media as these moderate rebels or however they were called before were presented in the western media as these moderate rebels who are going to help the u.s. and the coalition defeat isis in top of a sudden you know the bulls who are going to help the u.s. and the coalition defeat isis and talk of a sudden you know that that bubble has completely been exploded has just simply likely been fixed but it is. just not like finding bin laden in pakistan as opposed to tora bora wherever nobody saw that coming except people who do run as opposed to tora bora wherever nobody saw that coming except people who do the region same thing would be hiding in it it was just that. same thing would be hiding in it it was just that moscow was skeptical about he may be in this particular it lib region. skeptical about he may be in this particular it lib region.

obviously what the russian government has in terms of data is more than i do and i share the skep obviously what the russian government has in terms of datas more than i do and i share the skepticism by what's where is the last place the u.s. would look among its moderate this is. what's where's the last place the u.s. would look among its moderate rebel allies made sense and just all not point haiku here right no trouble allies made sense. just almost point haiku here right now is u.s. policy in syria it's risk and i still resurgence in the north is u.s. policy in syria it's risky. little resurgence in the northeast by withdrawing troops and yet has undertaken complex anti terror raids as a thesis by withdrawing troops and yet has undertaken complex anti terror raids in it against high profile targets adults where as we're seeing well i'm one of those

peanut against high profile targets adults whereas we're seeing well i'm one of those people who was skeptical of the whole real risk reserves urgent and since moving their narrative because. what i saw happening was basically u.s. troops have been in and one has been. leave. and then handing over the territory to the syrian government and in some sort of slice like that who hold it hold. the kurds between that and turds keith and keith and that was that was. problematical matic for years years. unfortunately or fortunately i was disappointed we disappointed with the decision to send troops back in there with tanks to security oil i thought that was alluded with the decision to send troops back in there with tanks to security oil i thought that was a loser's gambit i there's still a possibility i suppose that those troops gambit. there's still

a possibility i suppose that those troops going for oil was actually a distraction a diversion and that going for oil was actually a distraction a diversion and that getting booked out he was the main event well i just guess we'll just have to see whether they stay there getting booked out he was the main event well i guess we'll just have to see whether they stay there there'd be a lot of anger directed donald trump over his. what were there are a lot of anger directed donald trump over his. what was called his betrayal of the kurds and that wasn't very long ago it was called his betrayal of the kurds and that wasn't very long ago high potentially beneficial might this be in the other aspect for him to potentially beneficial might this be in the other aspect for him taking out such a high profile target well your vast majority of the making of such a high profile target well your vast majority of americans would react to this with

pride and joy ok baghdadi we got americans would react to this with pride and joy ok baghdadi we isis is done for fantastic the media absolutely hated because this ruins baghdad isis is done for fantastic the media absolutely hated because this ruins their entire narrative about being a bumbling politician who's their entire narrative about being a bumbling politician who's who's messing up the syria policy who's who just needs to be impeached right away that's them who's messing up the syria policy who's just needs to be impeached right away that's the narrative they've been trying to sell the american people for the past 3 years is that yesterday was a terrible day for them narrative they've been trying to sell the american people for the past 3 years is that yesterday was a terrible day for them and a really good day for trump from the standpoint of inter-marriage an optics ford of and a really good day for trump from the standpoint of inter-marriage an optics for the

for the population of the country at large because it helped obama didn't win the bin laden photo that went everywhere he boarded population of the country at large because it helped obama didn't win the bin laden photo that went everywhere actually and now they're saying that you have a sim very much the same situation and now exactly and now they're saying that you have a sim very much the same situation analogous situation and yet the treatment is completely different is there a fear not with the situation and yet the treatment is completely different is there a fear not with the international. community might lose i doubt it gone that the international community might lose impetus in the terrified do you think. unfortunately i think it's impetus in the terrified to think. unfortunately i think terrorism is going that sort of terrorism is going to be with us for terrorism is that sort of terrorism is going to be with us for

a bit longer much as i would like it to be otherwise for a bit longer much as i would like it to be otherwise. i think the guardian isis provided a focus for it but there's clearly. i think the guardian isis provided a focus for it but there's clearly al qaeda still around calling itself different things there are still are other organizations that are trying to claim and calling itself different things there are still are other organizations that are trying to claim the mantle of isis in places like africa in places like afghanistan even in the mantle of isis in places like africa in places like afghanistan even this this is a war it's not that hasn't been won yet because honestly in many places it has a member of this this is a war it's not that hasn't been won yet because honestly in many places it hasn't been properly fought. the kudos words do but the problem is in the early fought.

the kudos words do but the problem isn't over yet some of the. the i'll pay its really when you look over yet some of. the all pay its really when you look past the headlines some of them are claiming media outlets that at donald trump i smarted off the headlines some of them are claiming media outlets that at donald trump i smarted lot more putin syria with his troop withdrawal it's been suggested that with another more putin syria with his troop withdrawal it's been suggested that with another terrorist reserve really in the region russia will become enemy number terrorist reserve really in the region russia will become enemy number one this in turn could trigger a surgeon islamist terrorism so the war on this in turn could. trigger a surgeon islamist terrorism. parts of russia you are your thoughts there's a lot of parts of russia you are your thoughts kind of there's

a lot of links to this aspect but this is what's being talked about well this betrays of links to this aspect but this is what's being talked about well this betrays more the mindset of people writing these are tauriel and what they wish would happen more the mindset of people writing these are tauriel and what they wish would happen. then perhaps reality on the ground because the russians reckon. then perhaps reality on the ground because the russians record of finding terrorists in syria specifically is actually a pretty good one in terms of finding terrorists in syria specifically is actually a pretty good one in terms of how much they've accomplished whereas the americans effort is of how much they've accomplished whereas the americans effort is more ambiguous when we talk about syria specifically so i on more ambiguous when we talk

about syria specifically so i honestly wouldn't put it. wouldn't place too much credit in people who have been asli wouldn't put it. wouldn't place too much credit in people who have been so wrong on so many things so often. where does this and so wrong on so many things so often. where does this leave syria just as an observer for so many years this conflict has believe syria just as an observer for so many years this conflict has been going on right now with all the different a spanking going on right now with all the different aspects to it where do you see it and where is it going in 2020. 6 to it where do you see it and where do. is it going in 2020. i would they're definitely closer to peace than they were last year or a year before. they're definitely closer to peace than they were last year or

a year before i would say much closer there is lot to be done with that i would say much closer there is lot to be done with that that needs to be resolved one way or the other but i i think it's winding down i think we're watching to be resolved one way or the other but i i think it's winding down i think we're watching to we are observing the final days of that particular conflict it will go on we are observing the final days of that particular conflict it will go on for some time still and it's very ungrateful to try to predict how long. or some time still it's very ungrateful to try to predict how long by this point i would think everybody who was banking on regime change at this point i would think everybody who was banking on regime change has must must must must must must really realize that they're there bet spent if it's. called and they all have told nothing then you have nothing and

we've been speaking to the senior journalist r.t. america has covered the region extensively thanks for coming and we've been speaking to the senior journalist r.t. america who's covered the region extensively thanks for coming in on a chat on explaining all about to us. coming in on explaining all about to us. the european union has agreed on how long a break that extension to grant. the european union has agreed on how long a brags of extension to grant the u.k. 27 member states have settled on a divorce deadline the u.k. 27 member states have settled on a divorce deadline of january 31st the edwards dusty recounts the details. jr. it was revealed that the 2. johnsons vision of the do or die bricks that come october 31st is now gone because wealthy how was johnson's fission of

a do or die braddock's that could come up to this 31st. call in action because what essentially have offered to what is the flex tension in the senshi what that means it's moved deadline day for from rome than this we are all the way to january the 30th with and option of an exit polls meaning that the u.k. can leave earlier if indeed they can exit polls meaning that the u.k. can leave earlier if indeed they can get a deal through parliament that plus would also also does is it moves. to jail the possibility of a no deal it's pop to also till january 31st what the possibility of a no deal it's pop to also till january 31st what m.p.'s are also gearing up for today is a vote on a snap general election on to some he's also gearing up for today is a vote on

a general election on december the 12th the issue with boris johnson needs 2 thirds of a majority in parliament to some but the 12th issue with boris johnson needs 2 thirds of a majority in parliament to get that through to get that date secured and that also means some labor m.p.'s need to get that through to get that date secured and that also means some labor m.p.'s need to be on site however labor's position in all of this is that they want a no deal on side however labor's position in all of this is that they want a no deal completely taken off the table before they agree to anything like this or as far as johnson has it completely taken off the table before they agree to anything like this or as far as johnson has a tricky ultimatum for the way to get this done the way to get done tricky ultimatum for the. the way to get this done the way to get bricks it done is i think to be reasonable with parliament and see if they is i think to be reasonable

with parliament and see if they genuinely want more time to study this excellent deal genuinely want more time to study this excellent deal they can have it but they have to agree to a general election they can have it but they have to agree to a general election on december the 12th and that's the way forward there's also met on december the 12th and that's the way forward there's also many issues for boris johnson than going into a general election because can the public trust any issues for boris johnson than going into a general election because can the public trust him they know that he's gone back on many every promise that he hasn't got his deal and he hasn't got the u.k. out and they know that he's gone back on many every promise that he hasn't got his deal and he hasn't got the u.k. out of the position that boris johnson will be going down though is the fact that he's done everything in the position that boris johnson will be going down though

is the fact that he's done everything in his power to try and get it done he's gone through all the political mechanisms and parliament i think in his power to try and get it done he's gone through all the political mechanisms and parliamentary procedures but if m.p.'s that have looked at him in the process but for today then he just but if m.p.'s that have looked at him in the process but for today then bracks it buys more time 2 however it feels like the never ending story. breck said by small time however it feels like the never ending story. we're following today's announcement political commentator on 3 webber told us he believes the u.k. maced will following today's announcement political commentator and 3 webber told us he believes the u.k. may still be in the same position at the end of january i'm not sure she still be in the same position at the end of june. i'm not sure we don't shoot cheap money think unless the prime minister charge against his charity achieve anything unless the prime minister charge against his chief or the speed or better america may have

greece agree anyway but here we're talking of the speeder but america may have greece agree anyway but he would have to say he will want to face a peace be elected on the no jail basics and only have a good site for all his just votes he will want to place a peace be elected on the no jail basics and only have a good site for all his slips he certainly won't suppression of the trees are made or not i really thought he certainly won't suppression of the trees of mangy or not i really want to see more moral habitant scrums are will more debates it's made on most want see more moral habitant scrums are will more debates it's made on most will tell you it's going to have less and less chance and we could start over to you it's going to have less and less chance and we could on the phone for us

through january in exactly the same position on the phone for us through january in exactly the same position if there is an auction in the. bar strongly so that she wants strong he's tight if there is an action in the. bar strongly so that she wants wrong he's taking out tremendous stress like countries already by the risk up with the results of taking it out from under stress like countries or many made a mess with the results of where she lost if you have had a revenue piece i think the same could apply she lost a few program he's i think the same could apply with the conservatives who speak because they haven't delivered to mayberry compete with the conservatives who speak because they haven't delivered them a broken promise or a public out of. probably so so. i doubt we'll.
