army the administration is staking its efforts in syria on the free syrian army aid and assistance that we're going to give to the free syrian army is used to advance the cause against guys will always looking at training the free syrian army against isis in the sort of watch the transformation of the free syrian army as well early on have they gotten more quickly better or is it just me well guess what forces fighting under the f s a's latest incarnation are now attacking the united states as part of the de confliction exchange information has been received from the u.s. side to that on 3rd november a convoy of american servicemen was fired upon from the territory controlled by the pro turkish syrian national army so how did this happen it was a group go from being worthy of u.s. support weapons and training to being terrorists to attack america as well let's review the process of the f s a's evolution as the syrian conflict escalated they

were presented as a soft force to counter the quote brutal regime of bashar al assad western journalists even visited them they are former syrian soldiers they say they refused orders to fire on their own countrymen a few months alongside to take up arms against the assad regime there are pretty gnarly bunch for a soft force but who pays attention to these details western media fell in love with them and their commander solemn interest even got a surprise visit from john mccain the u.s. senator slipped across syria's borders so he could meet with america's dream team fight. against the syrian government and sense then solemn even appeared on major t.v. networks in the united states i spoke with general salim idriss just moments ago he's head of the free syrian army i spoke earlier today to rebel leader general salim he connected with us via skype from inside syria egypt spoke to state department correspondent margaret brennan in turkey in 2014 the pentagon splurged

$500000000.00 on syrian opposition groups to the now infamous train and equip program the goal was pretty glorious $5000.00 soldiers a year for the following 3 years however at the end of the day the mathematical calculations ended up with a pretty big margin of error it's a small number. ones that are in the fight. is we're talking 445 the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough mess to be able to get work done on the ground a lot of the weapons and money spent and up in the hands of terrorist groups like i still or the al nasra front fine use of u.s. taxpayers money and sense than the u.s. trained fighting force seems to have almost disappeared but now they're back we've got the syrian national army this is a totally new organization with dozens of different factions $80000.00 total

fighters approximately and guess who the minister of defense is well you guessed it it's major solomon idris but he's got a completely new script now he is no longer a big fan of the stars and stripes this incident at the very least. destabilising the presence of american speed and also the support for these groups like the so-called syrian national army which consists of people who quite aggressive jihad to use and so it's been ones convenience and it's becoming convenient fool that to how do these who have seen us the americans have about and the code's who they disliked but of course they feel. the to be controlled who didn't really think about who their friends were who they were hoping who they were arming and funding as the syrian conflict twists and turns you have to ask yourself who is the united states going to end up supporting next and how long until they turn against the united states again. r.t. new york. i think shakeups making waves in the world of 1st food mcdonald's has

followed c.e.o. steve easterbrook for engaging in a consensual relationship with an employee the us fast food giant had this to say about his dismissal steve east burke had separated from the company following the board's determination that he violated company policy and demonstrated poor judgment involving a recent consensual relationship with the employee the company confirms that this leadership transition is unrelated to the company's operational or financial performance but as you can gather the mcdonald's policies forbid romantic relationships between managers both direct and in direct employees easterbrook took over as chief executive 2050 after working his way up through the company and has been widely credited with revitalizing the fast food chains restaurants a menu is a message to star fi apologized and admitted to his dismissal was the right decision he said we got the opinions of legal analysts long ago and t.v.

and radio host current. the fact that the best c.e.o. that they've had in a long time is now going to be out of a job because of a personal issue is really sad i mean it's just the state of how we look at things today in america and this was a consensual relationship there was really nothing a licit that he did it's neither good nor bad it's the way it is headed today's era of me too and the like not to imagine there are only history of. problems here and there what are they going to do it's their law he knew what he was executive he violated it that's it you know it's hard to meet people these days i'm sure it's hard to be single i'm married by you know as a single person in america you know being a c.e.o. i don't know how much time this guy had on his hands to meet people you know what his golden parachutes going to be today oh my god this poor guy wears a good to meet anybody match dot com east is too busy for that and it's funny how

we read into it well it was consensual nobody's saying it was rape nobody's a kludge it was a violent physical attack of course it was consensual but do you know the world we live in this is an era right now of matt lauer and me too i do know i do know the rules out all over i mean here are over it all over it. over it good i mean as a woman in america. judging people i'm tired of us judging you everybody is wrong in a relationship no i'm not and you know why if i was if i was in charge i think the world might be a better place because we're going to sirt some logic into this minutia that has become so consuming in today's journalism and today on america and now we're going to stream here not for having consensual relationships he's not a government official he's not in a position he's a c.e.o. of a company so i think if the relationship is appropriate and it doesn't interfere with his eligibility to do their job it's none of my business as

a company absolutely 100 percent i mean this is a matter of fact i would prefer that my employee how can i have your work and if being in a relationship makes them happy that i prefer that they meet in a relationship together and that they both bring value to my company i live a lot of that wonderful here's some of the as a as a lawyer let me give you this scenario in your corporation your c.e.o. has a healthy relationship a consensual one with a a a subordinate and something goes wrong i don't want life like that and the subordinate says year to you held back you ruin my chances you were absolutely were you are you and he's that whoa whoa whoa wait wait a minute hold publishes the nice c.e.o. trying to meet somebody and she then goes in this litigious society and goes to the biggest employment to our i gotcha going to god you know we go. and all

you had to do was always your own lawyer why couldn't you drug agreement why couldn't there be an agreement going in perhaps the company could have some sort of agreement where you know we allow consensual relationships with some sort of agreement between the parties i don't think that got such a crazy question to say there was a possibility right there in a relationship you're at a relationship with somebody else at work or what a prenuptial wait a minute hold it hold it you're going to have a relationship right white a polite way for part before. and you know and gauge in sexual conversation would you please sign this hand to it would you signal that yes we are entitled to do and he will do it every day now is a world we live in and you have staff. who signs contracts for sexuality like what are you talking about who does it what who is i'll bring actual agreement suzanne is people say every night i will raise it every single day i want every

single day now i mean you know if every rival is against the relation you know you bring that in nag did say pre-nup sure. i can imagine this as the cries that we're not sure. we're so busy on your rant you didn't hear my form i got to get my fork would you want a school that we're going to know it's not that i might have to do it if i decided to be there i did that the free and the putting out the pre-sexual kind of the consent form just a minute of my game i have to say or do i have to be right out of college or our tell your protect yourself. though you were the current took along the way the x. is holding the u.s. government supposed to go to a social media platform to talk of the most downloaded video sharing ups over national security concerns with big chinese of the company that exploded in popularity in america especially with teens is one of the few to challenge the monopoly of tech he most like facebook and google and you put your reports.

this sounds now look at may not. yet. i'll be honest with you up until last week i had no idea this thing even exist it take tock tick tock for me simply the sound i associate with the clock well if you feel the same i'll have to tell you either you're getting old like me or it's just that your online habits need an urgent update take talk a platform to share short videos is now the most downloaded app the king of all apps and twitter and co you've been dethroned just so you know ever heard the song.

if it wasn't for his app store majesty the song wouldn't have become a hit you can hear on the radio anywhere in the world but here's something that may surprise old school folks like me even more the king belongs to an asian dynasty tick tock is that chinese app so that's why the top democrat senator in his late sixty's is more up to speed than me 110000000 americans who have information with and the chinese government could be grabbing every one of them guess what the u.s. government is already up to reports say they've launched a national security probe into tick talk and the worries are the chinese government could spy through take talk influence through take talk and censor what's on tape talk good god how come the rest of the world hasn't given up american born facebook speaking of the man who introduced the blue f to us all it's only natural he is

keen to have a go at his competitors or services like what's up are used by protesters and activists everywhere due to strong encryption privacy protections on tick tock the chinese are quickly around the world mentions of these same. protests are censored now just let me show you what the people behind tick-tock have to say about all that our data centers are located entirely outside of china and none of our data is subject to chinese law we're not influenced by any foreign government including the chinese government to talk does not operate in china nor do we have any intention of doing so in the future oh someone here is either being really does honest or outright paranoid or a bit of both it's time to stick in. the u.s. china trade wars i'll tell you what this year has shown these has still ities can easily spill over into modern tech slash online territory remember how america once

went after i phone killer want to be while way. want to be still the right word washington even sought jail time for one of while these top executives and held google to the wall over android updates anyway for now clocks in teen minds and quite a few older ones even in america will be taking the chinese take talk way mr schumer do you have the guts to keep up with the times and join the royle after party. so. very nice of the french president amount of mccollum's for himself in the midst of a diplomatic sky free made controversial remarks. of bulgaria and ukrainian migrants from his own bust as the 2 countries have been summoned charlotte do but

ski reports. president much corn is well known for his forthright views but once again being outspoken has run to take in hot water this time it's with bulgaria crane so what exactly did he say i prefer to have people from guinea or ivory coast who work legally rather than clandestine networks of book ariens and ukrainians both countries were incensed enough to issue formal protests ambassador holding to explain comments macross statement is outrageous because he is a participant in the norm a diplomat and should be specially careful in choosing a worse budget crain and ukrainians involved area and e.u. country this was another example of the east west divide within the union french president my current statement is just another demonstration of political

arrogance cheekiness what's also puzzling for bulgarians is the somewhat muddled reference to illegal immigration given that it's an e.u. country and its citizens have the right to work anywhere across the union including in france this is just. it is not of course a very tactful way of speaking most of all because he's not from here and his opinion sounds one sided as you know our politicians must defend bulgaria and his dignity excuse me but is my crown really able to talk about bulgaria does he know the bulgarians well enough to talk about them like this. i find such behavior towards us totally unacceptable however it is clear that there are criminal networks from bulgaria operating here in france and this it seems is what mark corn has issue with but how do people in paris feel about mcewan's preference for working my quince 7 it is. it's a french president of all people who should make

a distinction like this between different types of immigration to friends i don't see why it's come across to decide who has the right to come and who doesn't have. immigration whether from eastern europe or the ivory coast is all the same we allow everyone to integrate here but in canada for example. in france in paris in particular we say that our strength lies in our diversity and variety. while it's true that i'm not too keen on micron in this case i think he's right it is better to verify who's coming in to control our borders and immigration not cohen has since his election in 2017 been clear about his views for the future of the european union he wants an army closer integration iron a source of the e.u. project as such but though is lofty ambitions were once the toast of europe it

seems his opinions all more often than not getting too close to home and turning allies against him and there are warnings that his plans will be difficult to achieve without friends. paris. political analyst nicholas look at which believes that has a strong signal to eastern europe about its future. it has a lot to say about remember american as you on europe if you want to be the wheel house of europe he wants france to be driving the reforms of europe and only speaking in a derogatory way. to european nations whether to go up to the european union or not is another matter i think this is a strong signal of the man who will not call to the east especially to mill europe to eastern europe that she's not really counting on eastern europe to be able to do it she sees that eastern europe is really a different mentality and we've seen it concerning immigration. concerning the liberalization of work permits in different countries there's different talents in

eastern europe. which is sometimes difficult to control coming from western europe and i think that in a manner americans europe is based mainly on the french european economies and they would like to duplicate that all across europe and just impose their vision of europe to eastern europe and it's just finding that it's very difficult that eastern european countries want to remain star and they want to keep being hot democratic countries the laws themselves and not having lost coming in from the european commission imposed on them and then i'm not going to see this difficult to control them. and us internationalist israeli authorities for banning one of its employees from traveling abroad the human rights organization described the measure as punitive. of palestinian human rights campaigner last month he was stopped at the border while heading to the funeral of a relative in jordan after holding him for 4 hours israeli forces told him he was then banned from any on would travel they said it was because of serious security

considerations and had nothing to do with life's work we got reaction from the campaign room self. unfortunately these security concerns have never been made clear to me the only thing they know is that. the israeli intelligence claims that it's a secret file that they're not going to do the nature of these information and this actually shows the true intent of the band itself because if they daily have any security concerns or security issues way within they reveal these information and make it public and also the fact that they met making these information public also makes it hard to challenge that is the decision of the israeli and intelligence with it in court or even publicly when we do campaigning against this bit that it's over. rights groups have been the focus of israeli security forces before in a recent case the director of human rights watch for israel and palestine that is

work permit revoked he's now facing deportation israel suspected him of supporting boycotts of the state last month another rights organization was raided by israeli forces rights campaigner life again believes it all in an attempt to silence organizations like he is. so indecent he is the israeli government has intensified its intimidation against civil society and human rights organizations in an attempt to silence them and the legitimize their work and this is whether through a smear campaigns or. legalistic they of legislation such as this that i would ban so this is obviously and that that for the work that we do here and without giving any justification for why this ban has been imposed. quick footnote to this i can tell you we asked the israeli security agency shin bet to come into the situation where they get to tell you what their response is. coming up 24 minutes past 8 in

the morning moscow time good morning next weston's here to say london lifting the curtain on political correctness it seems by phasing out words like ladies and gentleman for something more gender neutral could see the trade union that represents act has released its new guidelines for people working with performers is really takes a closer look at the new rules ladies and gentlemen the show is about to start please make your way to you'll see us the usual queue for punches of the westons vault famously it says here in london but it's a saying that might be making a hasty exit they could see the actors and entertainers trade union has released guidelines encouraging theatres. ladies and gentleman and use gender neutral terminology for collective calls both front of house and back stage so avoid alienating people who identify as non-binary so neither male nor female some venues like the apollo have already dropped the phrase opting instead for good evening or

welcome stressing that they want everyone to feel welcome while london's transport network has already made the change from ladies and gentlemen to phrases such as good evening everyone who want to see it's a guy was think about these changes if they didn't announce why they were doing it i probably wouldn't notice so it was it's fair enough although i quite like there is a gentleman to be honest should be on nothing give or take before you call the receipt say. i. think maybe all the generations might think it's a bit controversial but you know what i mean maybe upset because they're used to the tradition i mean if people that spend it by that time right thing it's. either a lady or a gentleman either or and to me that's. the ticket with the sea by sidestepping. if it does change then i feel like it wouldn't be. the same time if it doesn't change i think you just have to respect that people should say ladies and gentlemen you

can't list a whole all the gender is exactly it's only a meeting and it's not just the guidance released by equity follows on from a motion poss by student union representatives last month at oakford university the motion encourages the phasing out of capping to be replaced by a more side of the pools but resembles. it's a move to foster more inclusive it see the critics including this political correctness gone too far so will the changes be met with schools for a moment cool off stage. london. well actually the stage for now that's like this for the newsroom so for this tuesday morning thanks for watching on social media for all the latest must go up while the headlines go straight to mobile devices it's great. to have a super tuesday. the

people who are printing the money don't rely on taxes to get wealthy they're not part of the real economy that's a does the same thing as saying the rulers of saudi arabia rely on the wages of the people living in saudi arabia to get rich they they don't they just print more or pump more oil so in that america the princes that run our economy just print more money they don't need the workers they don't need their taxes that's why they don't have wage growth that's why there's been this aeration because there are needed.

lead. a lot of people like to use the word electro small very good analogy but when we have cell towers on every to every big building when we are going to put these 5 g.

generators on every light pole on every street it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it in a box and in a shielded room we the same person that was helping us to shield found the right material to hold back that particular frequency that was coming in and burning my skin and we built a room it looks like a little foil but it's not it's 3 layers thickens like a very very fine chicken wire in the middle of it there were days that i didn't know it the sun came up the sun went down and christmas came around we had christmas inside the cellar room as we like to call it. which you know you look at it could have been really sad but we made the best of it. having

christmas in here meant a lot to all of us it was so many events so many school events so many things that my wife could not. even missed our daughter's graduation to college it was 34 hours away she couldn't take the drive and she could stay overnight. and you know the kind of thing you know really tell people because one don't think you crazy to the death of the warmest and and that's why i bother so for the last. how many years since i've been i think for the last 4 years now i spent a minimum of 10000 dollars each year on in a couple years i spent $20000.00 just in trial going from one practitioner to another and supplements and treatments so it's like most of my savings that's been put to or trying to figure out what's wrong with me in again my health back. piece here in our company division.
