relocation of some forces to neighboring iraq it is not the 1st confrontation between the u.s. and the militants over the past few weeks washington's envoy to syria now claiming the group that was once called the free syrian army committed war crimes during take his offensive in northern syria. turkish supported. opposition in opposition forces who were under general turkish command in at least one instance did carry out a wire crime and we have reached out to turkey to demand an explanation well for its part turkey has pledged to investigate the allegations but relations between washington and the militants in syria are not always been that strained of course some were armed and promoted by america join the fight against the syrian government that is khaled maupin next this morning looks at how groups once fiercely backed by the u.s. volved into what they are now. the free syrian army american media and politicians told of glorious freedom fighters picking up

a gun for democracy and human rights and the usa wasn't afraid to show its support the united states has been one of the biggest supporters whether it's politically whether it's financially in a range of manners of the moderate opposition including the freestream our syrian 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 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 i was a group go from being worthy of us 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 journalist 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 fighting against the syrian government and sense then solemn even appeared on major t.v. . the 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 splurge $500000000.00 on syrian opposition groups to the now infamous train and equip program the goal was pretty glorious 5000 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 is we're talking 445 the overall goal is to make sure that we have enough mass to be able to get work done on the ground a lot of the weapons and money spent and it 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 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 this incident at the very least. destabilizing the presence of american speed and also the support for these groups like the so-called syrian national omi which consists or do people who quite aggressive jihad to use and so it's been once convenience and not it's become inconvenient. for the true how do this who have seen us the americans who abandon the kurds to the destroyed but of course the to be controlled who didn't really

think about who their friends were who they were hoping who they were arming and funding. to 7 past the morning next news of a big shakeup making waves in the world of fast food well donald says father did see steve easterbrook for engaging in a consensual relationship with an employee against company policy that well donald's rules forbid romantic relationships between managers and both direct and indirect employees he support took over as chief executive in 2015 after working his way up through the company has been widely credited with revitalizing the fast food chains restaurants a menu in a message to stuff he apologized on the his dismissal was the right decision the said we've got the pinions of legal as lionel and t.v. and radio host current. 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 the way it is i did today's era of me too and the like not to mention their only history. 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 famous c.e.o. i don't know how much time this guy had on his hands to meet people you know what is golden parachutes going to be today oh my god this poor guy we're very good to meet anybody match dot com we see each is too busy for that and it's funny how we read into it while it was consensual or 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 tonight do you know the words out all over i mean here are i'll over it i'll over it. over it good

i mean as a one 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 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 and if being in a relationship makes them happy that i prefer that being in a relationship together and that they both bring value to my company i live one of that wonderful hears 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

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 instagram 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 there are 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. 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 a hash tag us 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 wall ways top executives

you know world big part of. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

again this is our 2 international live from moscow this french president amount of mccrone is found himself in the midst of a diplomatic scandal of 3 made controversial remarks about clandestine gangs of bulgarian and ukrainian migrants from his ambassadors to the 2 countries have been summoned over it and charlotte do bensky reports on it. 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 clandestinely 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 norma deformity and should be specially careful in choosing a worse budget crane and ukrainians in the volga 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 and cheekiness what's also puzzling for bulgarians is the somewhat muddled reference to illegal immigration given that it's an easy you country and its citizens have the right to work anywhere across the union including in france excuse me but is micron 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 ridiculous 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 become a card to decide who has the right to come and who doesn't. immigration whether from eastern europe. the ivory coast is all the same we allow everyone to integrate while it's true that i'm not. 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 or in a sense of the e.u.

project as such but though is lofty ambitions were once the toast of europe it seems his opinions are more often than not hitting too close to home and turning allies against him and there are warnings that his plans will be difficult to achieve without friends. r.t. paris political analyst the clerk of which told us he believes mccrum statement sends a strong signal to eastern europe future. this has a lot to say about your memory macro's you on europe he wants to be the wheel house of europe he wants france to be driving the reforms of europe and only speaking of the robert tory way of 2 of the 2 european nations whether to go up to the european union or not is another matter i think this is a strong signal of the manual macro to the east especially tamil europe to eastern europe that she's not only counting on eastern europe to build you up to date he sees that eastern europe is really

a different mentality and we've seen it concerning immigration recent 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 emanuel macro's 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 he's just finding that it's very difficult that eastern european countries want to remain sovereign they want to room keep being hot democratic countries voting the laws themselves and not having lost coming in from the european commission imposed on them and their men are not going to see this difficult to control them. honest international has slammed israeli authorities for banning one of its employees from traveling abroad the human rights organization described the measures punitive life it is a palestinian human rights campaign and working from the state last month he was

stopped at the border while heading to the funeral of a relative in jordan is the story after holding him for 4 hours israeli forces then told him he was banned from own would travel they said it was because of serious security considerations in the senate 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're not making these information public also make that hard to challenge that the decision of the israeli in intelligence with it in court or even publicly when we do campaigning against this bit that it's

overblown 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 and his work permit revoked he's now facing deportation israel suspected him of supporting boycotts of the state and then last month another rights organization was raided by israeli forces to rights campaign life that would say it again believes it's all an attempt to silence organizations like it is. so indecent is the israeli government has intensified its intimidation against civil society and human rights organizations in an attempt to silence them and their legitimize their work and this is whether through a smear campaigns or. that legislations such as this that i would ban so this is obviously and at 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 comment on the situation

as when they get back to us we'll tell you what their response was it was 24 minutes past 10 of the morning here in moscow thank you for watching out international we always appreciate it was not a choice out there but since news of so far the more artsy dot com more in social media figure up ahead let's go straight to mobile device my name's kevin irwin have a great choose day. the fact is there are good tennis and bad evidence the bad side those in yemen to the united states deems to be a threat the looked at those award in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were

assassinating populist leaders they were backing up the right way military windows funding an army of death squads there's no phones and more because there's always a small town called for or willing to cut the. profit. the world is driven by shaped by those great. snow day. thinks. we dare to ask.

you mentioned again 635 and you have a lot of career and unclear involves using your i phone in your computer and things like that in an office and perhaps you start getting headaches and circular teeth you're going to have to stop doing all this in this kind of you look at the minutes must be frightening my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up learning it in a box. or out at a very strong magnetic field held in my head. i think it's like a real heart assured my skin burns and wireless access point out there just continues on with our students in the schools. we are just continually our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral smog and it's getting worse.
