this is simply an issue. for the large part of whoever is there whether that's. headline stories a u.s. military convoy fire in syria from. the grouping including. fiercely promoted. to. c.e.o.'s ever after he admits to having a consensual relationship with a colleague our guest debate the subject of inappropriate a person the. c.e.o. i don't know how much time this guy had on his hands to meet people but do you know the world we live in this is an arrow right now of matt lauer and. i do know that

for him. it's controversial nuclear program saying it can only be reversed if you. are. around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team and myself you know not me oh hello on a warm welcome to the program. a u.s. military convoy has come under fire from turkish fighters near the town of tell to me in north eastern syria pentagon officials say their patrol was not hit no american soldiers were harmed but have given no further details. u.s. troop positions in areas of the region be drawn from the president the head of the turkish offensive it's the 2nd telling. that militants fighting for

is a syrian national only have targeted american forces in recent weeks washington's envoy to syria also claims the s.n.a. which has its roots in the free syrian army committed war crimes during this operation against kurdish forces in northern syria. turkish supported. opposition in opposition forces who were under general turkish command in at least one instance did carry out a walk crime and we have reached out to turkey to demand an explanation of turkey has promised to investigate the claims against its syrian allies it is worth noting that some of the groups all the s.n.a. umbrella force now accused of war crimes were previously supported on armed by washington and explains. 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 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 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 to. 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 splurged $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. the 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 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 solemn interests 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 army which consists of people who quite aggressive jihad to use and so it's been once convenience and now it's become inconvenient. for that how did this who have seen that yes the americans have abandoned the kurds who they disliked but of course they fear that they too will be controlled but they didn't really think about who their friends were who they were

helping who they were arming and funding. a big shake up as making waves in the world of fast food mcdonald's has fired its c.e.o. steve easterbrook for engaging in a consensual relationship with an employee which is against company policy there was an eye pouring of support for easterbrook online mcdonald's c.e.o. fired after having an affair with a nun ploy get your head out of sand she's not a victim steve shouldn't have been sacked by mike don't the need to movement is picking low hanging fruit if they are claiming steve scalp the difference today in the era of the me too movement is growing public pressure on organizations including corporations and religious institutions to hold powerful people accountable for sexual abuse harassment and other bad behavior or just to point out

mcdonald's rules forbid remount take relationships between managers on both direct and indirect employees easterbrook 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 and menu in a message to staff he apologized and said is this missile was the right decision we got the opinions on lots of legal analysts on t.v. and radio host car in turkey. 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 is the way it is and in today's arrow of me to in the law not to mention their 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 and 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 but 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 is golden parachutes going to be today oh my god this poor guy we're very good to me to the bloody. commies east is too busy for that and it's funny how we read into it while 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 rule that we live in this is an era right now of matt lauer and me too i do you know the rules out all over i mean see the era of over it all over it. over it could do it i mean as it was in america you are not in charge of i should judging people i'm tired of us judging you everybody is going to 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 in today's america perhaps the company could have some sort of agreement where you know we allow consensual relationships with some sort of agreement between the parties before our eyes and you know and gauge in sexual conversation would you please sign this here to which would you signal that yes we are entitled to one people do it every day 8 hours a world we live and ship staff. who signs contracts for sexuality like what are you talking about who does it you might you might have to you might have to you might have to have a contract to protect yourself. all right let's stay stateside the u.s. government has reportedly investigating social media platform to talk one of the most done noted video sharing ups over national security concerns the company which is chinese owned exploded in popularity in america especially with teens and this

one of the few to challenge the monopoly of tech behemoths like facebook and google . these are all now in a good name and. 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 quickly around the world mentions of these same protests. censored now just let me show you what the people will be hiding 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 it could easily spill over into modern tech slash online territory remember how america once went after i phone killer one of the wall way if you want to be still the right word washington even saw jail time for one of wall ways 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. the sound now look at me. still ahead if you could this be the pakistani prime minister the last day and all for this we look at the huge protest movement he's facing off the shore.

and almost sort of seems wrong. why don't we all just don't. let me. get to seep out just to come at it. and it gets right equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we just of the common ground. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to listen. to the right to the press that's what the 3 of them or people. interested in the why.

they should. come. with yet another technique advance iran has taken a step further from the heart broker 2015 your clear deal the announcement was made by president house on rouhani he says iran will only wind the program down again if sanctions are lifted. in. the department of energy and if you begin the working on the centrifuges starting from tomorrow. just like the previous ones that it is

reversible all work will be conducted under the supervision of the international atomic energy agency all you do is someone that on monday iranian officials also announced that they had double the number of advanced centrifuges the country has it all comes as iran suffers under u.s. sanctions while to around ses it's also losing patience and can no longer wait for europe to come to its aid and to straight germany's foreign minister says the whole agreement is now in jeopardy. we said this is unacceptable ultimately iran is doing nothing less computing the entire nuclear agreement at risk and that is why we expect to return to full compliance with its obligations. yet just a reminder the iran nuclear deal was signed back in 2015 it took 9 years of painstaking talks to secure russia china the u.k. germany france the us as well all signatories to it and under its terms sanctions

by the international community were to be lifted in exchange for to freezing its nuclear program it was hailed as a landmark agreement ending more than a decade of strife with iran but in may last year the u.s. you know lawfully polled art of the agreement despite criticism from european allies donald trump described the deal as floor done subsequently reimpose sanctions on iran since then the other signatories have been struggling to keep the spirit of the deal a life but politics professor side my husband were and he believes european countries should be doing a lot more well the problem is not just the united states is the european because contrary to what the german official said it is the iranians who have been abiding by the nuclear deal for it's over a year and a half now whereas the europeans have been in complete violation of the americans toward the agreement and no trump has been putting pressure on the europeans

europeans so they are effectively pursuing the same policy as the united states unless the europeans grow a backbone and unless they abide by their obligations the iranians have no other option but to gradually greenman them so far we don't see the europeans growing the backbone and it's not good for them internationally because the international community sees the europeans as ineffective and basically subordinate to the united states. another story we want to bring you this hour french president among your mccollum has find themself in the midst of a diplomatic scandal after making controversial remarks about clandestine gangs are boring and ukrainian migrants france's ambassadors to the 2 countries have been summoned are to charlotte drew pinsky reports. president much corn is well known for his forthright views but once again being outspoken has learned to take in hot

water this time it's with bulgaria and crane so what exactly did he say i prefer to have people from guinea or ivory coast who work legally rather than clandestine our networks of bulgaria and ukrainians both countries were incensed enough to issue a formal protest and bassett is holding to explain my comments across statement is outrageous because he is a participant in the normal deformed that and should be specially careful in choosing where spot ukraine 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 excuse me but it's 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 her. why do people in paris feel about mcewan's preference for working my quince 7 movie 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 or the ivory coast it's all the same we allow everyone to integrate while it's true that i'm not. in this case i think is right it is better

to verify who's coming in to control our borders and immigration and not cohen has since his election in 2017 been clear about his views for the future of the european union he wants an o. me closer integration or nay source 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 better social services and to economic inequality those are the moments which brought fresh pluses with police in the chilean capital where thousands rallied once more on monday. was i.

i the latest demonstration for a short was in weeks of demonstrations at least 20 people have been killed during the un rest looting on arson have also lead to major international gatherings being cancelled including the un climate summit chile's government claims that 6 police officers have been injured including 2 who were set on fire by molotov cocktails thrown by the. pressure is being rubbed on pakistani. prime minister iran come. to demand his resignation they say he only came to power because last year's election was rigged and accuse him of flawed economic policies the leader of the protest movement has said to me government officials that the demonstrations began in the southern city of karachi around 10 days ago and progress towards the capital islam about those protesting are pushing for another election to be held on for the army to remain ellett so in places initially the

prime minister was given until sunday to quit the additional 24 hour extension reportedly expired. meantime protest leaders say the movement will continue until their demands on the. new continue this protest until one throw these legal rulers. they must realize there is over your mandate and government has. now. got to thoughts a little earlier from a pakistan based geo political expert who thinks it's unlikely the protester movement will reach its goal. oh pollutions dubon aside it brought me into the reading of john just that is a likely to happen that is the starting point the theme to forty's for the good when it comes to the moment of the office in $44.00 she comes to resign doesn't like barkley it is because of the fact that the army is a sporting 1 travesty of outcome and also because of the fact of the opposition

parties did not enjoy that kind of public sports read by they can force primus to resign there is a possibility that the opposition it will force some sort of for a strike all over pakistani army base but that is unlikely to attract any public sympathies given the fact that the people are more concerned about this. and this particular bill frist has known if you hold the last years of this we actually lived an under 1000 people on the ground which represented one particular religious party. i did only really got to grow up so liberals in the us from different backgrounds there do not enjoy that kind of sport where they can pull out people. some people engage in a so named technology detox to get away from all the white noise others do it because their lives simply aren't risk their stories told next to north and why find refugees.

and begin to fulfill repeated promises ok probably to the people and come on you know with all pots to. be a. pretty. pretty good burka now you want to work correct that. no.

call be cut. coming. today there are good dentists and bad attitudes the bad news in yemen the united states deems to be a threat good to those who work in syria the cia and the u.s. military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assessed. meeting populist leaders they were backing up right away military because funding an army just was there's no anymore because there's always a small. one really good that's. a profit.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy thing for indication let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. a. 2 little bit.

a lot of people want to use a word to let go smaug very good analogy but when we have soul 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 and tell i ended up winning it in a box and in a shielded my own weight 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 dealt a room it looks like a little foil but it's not it's 3 layers thick and step 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 in a christmas came around we had christmas inside the cellar room as we like to call it. which is you know telling us how you look at it could've been really sad but we made the best of it. having christmas in here meant a lot to all of us through so many events so many school events so many things that my wife could not to she even missed her 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're really tell people because one don't think you crazy to the death of the warmest in and that's why.
