anime of the us establishment bernie surges all the polls ahead of monday's key democratic caucus in iowa despite facing attacks from the media for his socialist stunts. also ahead in the program there's younger in the u.k. as it emerges that. served time in prison for islamist terror related offenses released before he completed his sentence he was shot dead after wounding 2 people. and hong kong dramatically tightens border controls with china in an attempt to halt the spread of the corona virus short of a complete closure we hear from

a journalist in the chinese city which is the epicenter of the epidemic. wherever you're tuning in from right across the world this hour welcome to moscow and to our to international my names you know in the. monday marks the beginning of the road to the white house for us democrats candidates are readying to do battle in the state of iowa caucus vote that's proven influential in deciding who actually runs for president as the candidates for a shot at the oval office socialist bernie sanders is leading the way in terms of donors he is no the joint front runner in the polls now the iowa caucus is the start of the primaries and usually a litmus test for what's to come in fact some big names here bill and hillary clinton went from. victory in iowa to run the democrats condit did barack obama

now ahead of the vote later this monday here is what the lead his polls indicate. bernie sanders no shares a surprise lead with former vice president joe biden who's leading behind the other centrist hopefuls artie's killer mark the reports now on why washington might be wary of a sundress victory. the iowa caucuses are upon us and monday as the 1st primary contest takes place and jaws are dropping because the front runner isn't one of the sexy centrists favored by the d.n.c. but an elderly socialist from vermont 2 is technically not even a democrat but a registered independent can imagine any woman watching last night and saying i believe bernie i think people believe has been running bernie sanders against trump would be an act of insanity so to have him just flat out say no i think wasn't it

wasn't nearly enough to address that for the women watching bernie can't win according to the new york times bernie sanders is surging ahead because he has an enthusiastic base of supporters who are attracted to his left of center agenda mr saunders insurance and his apparent roys in the earliest primary and caucus states reflects both the loyalty of his core support says and their conviction that mr saunders would bring the same fighting resilience to the general election even now as mr saunders takes the lead in the 1st 2 early states his opponents have not delivered a sustained argument against his candidacy and remain reluctant to take him home bernie sanders describes himself as a democratic socialist and socialism is supposed to be a dirty word in the united states but not so much anymore polls show that younger people are not so hostile to the term and are far more critical of free market policies and austerity c.n.n. is certainly no fan of bernie sanders a paid contributor is even happy to admit it i hope that my networks clear bias

against bernie sanders will convince citizens of all idiology state corporate media figures overwhelmingly for so you can journalism in favor of blatant activism oddly president trump has had mixed things to say about the front runner in the rival party which bernie well. it will be interesting to see how he does i think what happened to bertie. was that so many so i think he was taken advantage of he really great 4 years ago and he was done treated with respect by clinton those wounds from 2016 are certainly open and sore among bernie's core supporters leaked e-mails revealed that the d.n.c. was working overtime to deprive him of the nomination it's not just those mainstream t.v. networks or the leaders of the democratic party this former assistant director of the f.b.i. actually admitted that for years this federal agency actually works to keep people like bernie sanders from taking office the electorate in some places is putting

more and more progress since and self described socialist in positions one of the missions of the f.b.i. in its counterintelligence efforts was to try and keep these people out of government he wasn't joking either the f.b.i. is cointelpro program to isolate left wing groups and keep them from gaining any influence one radical group called the socialist workers party actually sued the f.b.i. and spent a decade in court proving that their rights were violated court proceedings revealed that the f.b.i. had planted fake news stories infiltrated the organization broken into offices and even had members arrested on false charges all in the hopes of weakening the socialists at the ballot box bernie sanders was at one point a registered elector for the socialist workers party he campaigned for them amid the harassment and legal battles so it's pretty safe to say the f.b.i. has been on d.m. for some time with so much working against him bernie sanders seems to be pulling

ahead getting more donations than any other candidate and his rallies are packed full of young people who are attracted to his message of cancelling student debt and guaranteeing health care with a 2020 primaries in full swing many observers are asking themselves can bernie sanders really pull this off. r.t. new york. political commentator dakota louis told us why he believes the democrats are trying to shut the door and bernie sanders. i think you see a lot of these people who within the democratic party would rather see another trump presidency than would see it rather see a socialist or substitute describe socialist or anyone really to the left of joe biden become president if you look at the last primary campaign where bernie sanders ran against hillary clinton and there was definitely an underhanded campaign to undermine his own campaign and whether it be true superdelegates or backroom deals there was a lot that went on that really stripped bernie sanders of any of his power and you

see a lot of this playing out today and you see these random attacks that other candidates such as elizabeth warren joe biden and people who get good a judge have come out attacking bernie sanders because he represents a different wing of the democratic party and you know a lot of polls show that joe biden and hillary clinton these people who feel as though the election is owed to them don't have very high approval ratings they're not very much liked because they represent the a savage meant in the end the voters mind at the same movements that have left them behind all these years. police in the u.k. have revealed up the man behind sunday's knife attack inside the london had served time in prison for islamist terror later offenses and was being closely monitored by the authorities the assailant wounded 2 people in the assault before he was shot dead by armed officers shot he had restarted he has more. well terror has now come to the streets of london for a 2nd time in just 2 months and already i saw have claimed responsibility for the

incident that occurred on stratton's high street just last night but there were similarities between this latest incident and the last terror attack that happened on london bridge one of which is of course the very fact that both assailants were wearing a hoax device on their chest before being shot dead by police officers at the scene the 2nd one potentially more controversial is in fact the both of them were released early from prison for serving 'd sentences related to terror offenses now the government is already outlining its response to the latest incident but birth johnson has already reiterated that he wants to bring forward legislation to stop and prevent this early release from prison for convicted terrorists but all he isn't stress is that it could be quite complex to do so the problems we have with reeducating and reclaiming and rehabilitating people who succumb to islam is a very very hard and very talk and it can happen but the instances of success

are really very few and we need to be frank about that we do think about how we handle that you know in our criminal justice system so 20 year old a man here only served half of his sentence it was a full sentence of 3 and a half years but he was in fact released terror fences including possessing and distributing bomb making material now his mother though argues that her son was actually radicalized within the prison system and therefore the questions are raised when it comes to that but other issues too including the fact that at the time of the incident a man was actually under close police surveillance in fact 2 officers were trailing behind him so many argue how could this incident have happened under police watch well london he says that immediate answers need to be questioned by the government . so that's a question i've got for from for the government to ration to what they're doing to

keep us safe i'll give you some examples we know there are 70 or people who have been convicted of a terra fence and have been released from prison what the government doing to make sure that they are not a danger to the public will roughly speaking of plus people convicted of terrorism in prisons nell what are we doing to make sure they're being punished and reformed rather than be the recipients of radicalization where prisons are universe of crime rather than proper probably be but i decided quite worried erosion to the government's response well police have been searching the hospital where it is believed that the stratum attacker has been living over the past few days that many questions have come into play particularly how a convicted terrorist could cause such an atrocity just days after being released from prison but of course this latest incident is just one of many over the last few years that have been carried out by a salience known by the intelligence and security services.

of terrorism expert dr david low thinks a lot of countries are facing the issue of radicalization from within prisons. among seem to be deeply get more and more deeply in deal with the islamist narrative. he was sentenced for. he's believed his conviction for with you was released. that there is an issue when it is

a big concern in newquay prisons i think not just the you can think of the states out of this too we've seen it in france we've seen it in other states where there is a degree of radicalization going on within the presence of all 3 parties they do they may want to a point the finger at each other but they've all had a hand in the called the ability of this and it does need reform not some individuals who were terrorists it was so deeply imbued. but to have this sort of ridiculous situation as you seen with the. clearly was was was keen to carry out attacks he's been out for a week and he's in the close police surveillance that shows you the risk that they were showing him and this is a 3000 individuals who are specified interest on all of those risks or risk assessments is made. with figures continuing to grow over the spread of the coronavirus hong kong has tightened the border controls with china although stopped short of banning all travel to and from the mainland they said he's chief

executive. following advice for the territory's inhabitants like leap i strongly advise home car is a dance to frank from going to places where there is an outbreak including the mainland unless it's absolutely necessary. based journalist where the coronavirus was 1st recorded it gave us a rare glimpse into how the chinese city is coping with the spread of the disease. given the potential human to human transmission there's no public transportation in the epicenter of the current of ours the city is situated by younes a river near where i'm standing and locals may take ferries from one side to the other side and commute by buses taxis and subways then and we can read a notice saying at a stop each of the ferry at $950.00 on january 23rd in there is no definite for the recovery who has health authorities has issued

a travel ban to album tourist groups and vehicles entering and leaving the city will be subject to checkpoints where the temperature of passengers will also be monitored there has been no outdoor entertainment over the chinese new year which is absolutely unprecedented of the traditional holiday was extended by a week that many non essential sectors have now prolonged the holidays even further shopping malls restaurants and cinemas that orginally b.z. during this period are all closed but it's a very different story for hospitals here are medical staff have been working around the clock ignoring dire need of resources over the past week we've seen 60 medical teams from across the country featuring 6000 personnel arrive in the city this includes teams dispatched from the military the delhi actual head says china is setting a new benchmark in its response to the outbreak he praised the speed with which

china detected the outbreak isolated the virus sequenced the genome and shared it with the organization meanwhile we've also seen a considerable halt in international airliners flying into high gear as airports both in china and in about 70 countries have introduced measures to restrict travelers from the city and this all comes despite opposing travel restrictions among the patients i interviewed a nurse who was. effective with the current of hours during her work and she has now recovered and will go back to work soon another nurse i spoke to quarantine herself for a week meaning she was unable to breast feed her 6 month old son fortunately her husband was able to contact breast milk donors through social media and after receiving support the men said he felt there is power in unity and love so amid the crisis there are still touching moments in the virus city. the news keeps rolling

here in our to international 90 seconds from the. let's talk about 20th century socialism this is when governments made mal investments and then they bailed out those mal investments and so the economy went bankrupt versus 21st century capitalism this is one banks make malinvestment today when they go bad they bail out the malinvestment and that cycle continues until the economy goes bust and that's where our. seemed wrong why don't we just don't hold. any new world that is yet to

shape out these days become advocates and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hello again donald trump's self-proclaimed deal of the century which was meant to be a solution to be is really palestinian conflict is no facing rejection from islamic countries the organization of islamic cooperation which has 57 member nations say say it will not support the u.s. proposal picking up the story palestinian journalist rami khouri. the planned by by

us a president didn't run doesn't look for doesn't look good for people to be accepted as the organization of islamic or rejected this land the organization of islamic cooperation calls on all member states not engage with this plan or to cooperate with the us administration in implementing it in any form of bland rejection came 2 days after the legal therapist. rejected the same plan calling her describing it is not to meet the minimum rights of the palestinian people iran which was not. being allowed to barge in this meeting of the corporation organization had to blame the studio ribby of the government of saudi arabia has prevented the iranian delegation from participating in the meeting to examine the deal of the century plan at the headquarters of the organization of islamic cooperation regarding the plan itself that was presented by the president

to try and do is giving there is really overt it over for the security control over the palestinian territories and it allows israel to verna to. jerusalem. it within $1.00 to $1.00 of the united states undivided character of israel which is jerusalem actually the plan also gives israel the upper hand in controlling the security of the of the palestinians in these in the palestinian territories and also gives and offers palestinians a back up $50000000000.00 us dollars for the investment at the grassroots level palestinian factions political factors also rejected that plan and accusing their merica the administration of being. in favor of

their israeli this while i believe even when you look at the day's. deal you will find it very very out the only people it's spiritu i believe the palestinians left with nothing actually will seem surely they will have less than 8 percent it's 30. 2 established in all the state there and dependent state so that is it is normal and it is anticipated that the palestinian will. make cooperation organization did so and before that that of legal counsel under most so there's a shim story just. not there but. yet another story a lot of possible ramifications now russia's defense ministry say start turkish forces have failed to conduct planned joint patrols in northern syria now it comes after a spike in violence this monday which saw 8 turkish soldiers killed in lib province

. 2 artes dollar quarter he's been following developments for us tom what do we know here. well you know in the russian reconciliation center's reporting that turkish forces didn't show up to their planned joint patrol in the deescalation zone today these patrols represent a key part of the agreement between turkey and russia that maintains a fragile peace in the region and cars decision not to link up with russian forces there represents a dangerous escalation of tensions there now the developments come after turkish forces crossed the border into earlier on monday it was there that they came under artillery fire by syrian government forces after a turkish military convoy crossed the border into the region and syrian troops are currently engaged in a renewed offensive there against the last militant stronghold in the country in adelaide but turkey's president actually says that this is this renewed campaign is

a violation of the cease fire they've had and he claims that his country's retaliation was fierce. to the we said it's no longer possible and we responded appropriately with their money or artillery bombardment we are making them be the next soup rice and will continue to do so. part of one also said earlier that russia should steer clear of that counterattack which the turkish defense ministry says claimed the lives of over 70 syrian government troops killed in that counterattack but russia's reconciliation center actually had quite a different story of events earlier. the airspace over the deescalation zone is being constantly controlled by russian aerospace forces planes did not violate the syrian state border and there were no attacks on syrian troops. so 2 very different recollections of events from russia and turkey and a possible excavation in the region it seems more than likely that it is going to

be the region in syria where major powers can make or break peace or to correspond double quarter thank you. well to discuss this further we're joined live by political analyst czech and very good to see you again your thoughts on this the soundman to host series is it do you think turkey will resume patrols with russia it was hard fought in the 1st place to get it going all along. well you see the problem with turkey. is that. gone through became of our has been already for many years very unpredictable it was a very good use that they were given that are shown to cooperating but the let's not forget that a syrian government isco considering turkish presence. all that started 30 or so occupation force i walked in area fringes of brawl with

syrian commandos and i also worked on the 3rd fish territory near the syria that on the syrian border actually and the syrian government that is just don't want to touch anything related to turkey their observation posts their operations turkish forces are going in and out but the attitude of syria is basically if this organization force bought the body sheet of power or brutality of its anxious they are trying to avoid any come from they should all be turkey basically the same situation like of the united states everybody knows what the united states is doing in the region but nobody dares to attack its forces or do. allies is the military planes so all that happened now. uncertain it's very big problem that at this and so we have to speak on all really all just

playing things all not andre's that russia and turkey just the point i think foreign minister spoke today by phone there was no sign of a problem what changed. well again the changes. are unexpected and again i have to say unfortunately because it is all very unpredictable things can change the mood can change. in 5 minutes in one hour and this was going on everybody knows it but let's not forget 30 is the 2nd most powerful and they too. are very powerful militarily so do you know going from turkey directly is impossible it would cause tens of thousands of human lives and there are shows i'm going to do it syria is usually not doing it so what happened i think or error or because the

movement of turkish troops was again unexpected very sudden and the syrian military obviously thought that something els than it really was that was just going on in syria of course that russia and turkey made an agreement in the back guarantee deescalation in that country what does that 9 mean for syria. well russia actually is using. very patient and very diplomatic. approach. now of course both syria and turkey are looking at the russia and they are generating all the reaction of what the reaction will be and it this again diplomatic but the problem of ankara is that when i would leave make a blunder or a bit or whenever something happens the deny everything they will say will and i should say so now the there was no for example italy and there are.

airplanes and turks all just say yes there were and there is no way to prove it even if you show the radar or other of 'd. images so that's very unfortunate part of the turkey's doing what it warns does it do its allies does it do its enemies and very often we don't really know who is allied on and we see the relationship between turkey and the united states it changes every day and i'm here thanks so much for your time we just have to end their political analyst under full check live on the program ok thank you so much mrs arty international crossing to some more programs in moment stay close.

what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line when they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to the press this is like the before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. the sydney morning. joined me every thursday on the elec simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and

shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. and then on through no more of the norm. and i'm with the. lead in the free shipping. what or how to appreciate. it so for the moment on the 4th on the response and i'm going to have the time and it's a bit good to. see that the. only thing that we

do is music and we believe that it was the music because everybody finds a. way. and i mean i was going to die is the mcconnell way you're both successes. 5 nordics to it i have to watch in this way down to it all so hard not to think of the mother disappeared the same moment the walk last day i was. concise animals among the closest thing. out of the box to saddam was going to be
