violence between residents and those refugees we meet locals from one island on the frontline of the migrant. we all know what n.g.o.s are there behind this bad situation in our village. we know they do this for money. and as hysteria over the corona virus outbreak people of asian descent say you know they're finding themselves a litter saving end of racism over a globally. good evening life marty's world these h.q. here in moscow this wednesday the top of february that is it kevin i would hear the next 30 minutes of the latest round for you hope you stay with me too for it 1st and fighting broke out between american troops and a number of armed locals at a checkpoint near the northeastern syrian city of commissioning local media reported one person was killed he goes down off

a correspondent joins me with the latest developments just now or 2 ago. there was a lot of action for a very very small strip of land and there was complete mayhem and disarray i should say it's right in this in syria's north right on the border with turkey between syria and turkey so it is already a volatile region and so the american forces were there on patrol when they came under attack they were receiving fire so it's not clear exactly who was firing at that patrol car because the way the americans are putting it we can show you a statement they're saying they're just calling them identified attackers just going some no names essentially they're they're not specifying who that is but the local media is saying that those were just residents just armed locals who were apparently not so happy with the americans just being there in some pictures that we've seen from the scene there very well they're perplexing i have to say i mean

there you can see russian flags american flags syrian flags it looked like complete mayhem and disarray remind us really briefly why america is in there because there's such a lot going on there over the last couple is how to keep track is there but why the u.s. is there and also this news from turkey more statements from the president and again today well indeed americans they have been president for a long long time in the century there in the key world turkey is not under control there but turkey is overseeing what's going on in that region and so we've kind it is it has welcomed us patrols on that territory which is interesting because syria it's a different it's a different country but from the ones standpoint the americans are more welcome there than the syrians because for instance the effectively just today one has told syrians to get out of syria don't take my word for it. we're determined to drive back syrian regime forces from our observation posts by the end

of february we will do whatever is necessary both on the ground and in the air without any hesitation. without any delay. so that's because turkey's convinced that troops are being attacked by the syrian but the syrian army by the government forces and so they are retaliating and they're essentially that's why other one is so angry but the united states washington is sure how peter sees such strong words and some jabs taken at russia too because for instance washington is already sending their man to try and the world sit behind the steering wheel and steer this conflict into a direction that is favorable for the united states my condolences to the families of the soldiers killed in yesterday's attack in the ongoing assaults by the assad regime and russia must stop i've sent jim jefferies to ankara to coordinate steps to respond to this destabilizing attack we stand by our nato ally so harsh words in special given the rocky relations between washington and ankara lately and keep in

mind that earlier ones a statement about syrians having to get out of syria came right after on the right next day after this statement one might prepare. all this said all this rhetoric going out the talks are still continuing the politics continues oneness what russia's stance is on all this or indeed because russia is heavily involved in essentially russia and turkey they have been kind of the government who is and it was up to russia and turkey to bring peace to russia has been outlining a simple fact that syria took response or excuse me turkey took responsibility for putting a clear distinction between which groups in libya are ready to talk with the government and are ready to engage in dialogue and move this peace process forward and which other factions just want to do something like that than just keep warring with with bashar assad's forces so right now this is what the russia's foreign ministry has been saying have a listen. to that the reason for the degree dacian of the situation in syria as we

see it is that turkey is chronically not fully. in its obligations in accordance with the social memorandum of the 17th of september 20 teen as well as turkey send in squads of so-called moderate armed opposition to the northeast of syria into the peace spring operations into libya the northern province of idlib indeed has become a shelter for some of the most radical groups militant factions that are left on the syrian soil so it's no surprise that they are resorting to terrorist tactics trying to defend their stronghold but now the. president of the one has to talk to vladimir putin after those statements and he's sending his foreign minister to moscow as well to sort out the situation and hopefully soon we will see an end to this violence. so as you heard there further news coming in about northeastern syria today let's get more on it from max abrams in the queen since juve responsibles they grabbed their max we'll talk about that flare up that we were

that we started with just a bit of 1st of all the utterances of president there on earlier on taking a very firm stance on what he do he said if any of his troops or those watch points were at all injured or hurt in any way that he would fire and it wouldn't just be it is further afield as well do you think he would go through with that if it happened. i do to. stop it. absolutely he seems committed to controlling her or parts of it he has backed up his words with actions this past week and he sent in additional military reinforcements of a bunch of additional off convoys if you take your about his word he's concerned the civilians brought cleveland in live in creating an even bigger refugee problem inside of turkey there are already 3600000 refugees that are being tucker really

housed inside of turkey and of course he's very very active for a long time. inside of syria trying to the top all the so-called assad regime and frankly even even people even before the arab spring he had designs on. him to retore expanding our interest syria out so i don't think that we should doubt his commitment to going into northwest syria he's he's been doing it for a while and his actions indicate that he is actually be dedicated to turkey's involvement there are how to tie him up in trying to at the same time though the politics going on behind the scenes where there were phone calls today with president putin except for the trying to fuse and it might happen but worst case scenario say one of his troops did get injured there and it led all the reaction been from syria and russia in response of course backing syria. well we're already

seeing some of them so i mean for a while you all there were many spark proxy war but what makes syria are increasingly volatile is we're seeing national militaries essentially attacking each other so syrian forces are now against turkish forces and they're both killing each other and that's been the story over the past week and now introduces ringback an additional element of danger because when you're relying on military groups you can but there can be plausible deniability but less so we have national militaries with guns you know out each other and that's the condition where we find ourselves then there are some hope that perhaps the russians can serve as a mediator because the russians have a unique position where they seem to have control some control at least not only over syrian forces but also over turkish force has been so if anybody can to

frame this tension it will be russia but nonetheless there doesn't seem to be much of an agreement between the turks and the russians are in general the russians have been more sympathetic to the syrian government's position where is the u.s. has probably do that and then back in rhetorical if the turkish. actually did leave it there thanks for the story closely it was good to see as well thanks to time magazine abrams there from the institute for responsible stay cruft now another big story event. the palestinian president has formally rejected donald trump's middle east peace plan aimed at resolving the israeli palestine conflict it was described in security council as a reward for occupation no less and let's move to best became metaphorical about where he says it leaves his state sovereignty now. this is the state that they will give us which is like swiss cheese which of you will accept such

a state. palestinian leader mahmoud abbas spoke before the 15 member body that leads the united nations and made his case about why palestine is rejecting the proposal put forward by the white house and israel take a listen i have come to you to call for a just peace on behalf of the palestinians that is all i have come to you today to reaffirm the palestinian position which rejects the israeli american proposal this is supported by the results of meetings of the arab league the organization of islamic cooperation and the african union they have all concluded that this plan must be completely rejected that's in addition to statements by the e.u. russia china japan and others now abbas did mention he was open to negotiations with israel as long as the negotiations were sponsored by what is referred to as the international quartet the united states the un russia and the european union

now the israeli representative got up and spoke and indicated that israel feels that in the past negotiations with palestinians have been unsuccessful here's what we heard from the israeli representative president abbas few the to be plugged. if you do this to negotiate even into this did in finding a. to the conflict. with the president. let's not beat around the bush progress toward peace will not be made of longer than the. vision. only when he steps down can either early in the pilot move forward already on the very day when this u.n. security council meeting was taking place there were clashes taking place on the west bank between palestinians and israeli security forces near the palestinian city of ramallah there was conflict at this point there were jewish settlements there was tear gas dispersed against palestinian protesters rocks were thrown quite

a heated and intense exchange a lot of injuries took place it seems that this proposed peace plan is not leading to peace and stability and it's not just palestinians who are unhappy with the so-called deal of the century proving divisive in the e.u. to parallel the blogs foreign policy chief skepticism over trump's plan and its ability to end the long lasting conflict in the middle east while stating that the majority of the union's members don't consider the plan to be a good starting point either. your proposals table 2 weeks ago clearly challenges international law. and it is difficult to see how this initiative can bring both parties back to the table. so the u.s. proposal would formalize is recognition of jerusalem as israel's undivided capital and claims to double palestine its territory and also offers $50000000000.00 worth

of investment in the new state we heard though from one senior political advisor to president abbas was unconvinced by the fact says that being offered next to nothing . this is not a deal this is an attempt to liquidate the palestinian problem give it a big part of our land in the west bank to israel. make israel responsible for our security whatever. share with us. some mosque and take over all of the east jerusalem and stop giving any rights to the refugees there is nothing to offer that the really focused our best to accept in the security council he was very clear. i want peace based on a 2 state solution i want need to negotiate directly with israel not through america i want the court that which includes russia and the being union and the united

nations and the united states but i will not submit to benighted states and make it the sole owner of this peace process because it is totally biased with israelis. so think of results story this one is to increase the migrant crisis has become a battleground now between authorities and n.g.o.s operating there and organizations have been accused of inciting hatred and violence between locals and the refugees. there is a galaxy of dodgy n.g.o.s operating alongside a network of doctors lawyers and other people making a mint out of the human misery of these people they are leeches and these practices must end all of this contributes to illegal migration. the island allez boss has been a constant scene of protests since those camps are established to try to handle the migrant influx of which they've seen so much large rallies have turned violent just

last week police were called into action to disperse crowds we asked local residents there on the island who agree with the government's stance that n.g.o.s are fueling the situation. but like you know. we all know what n.g.o.s are about they're behind this bad situation in our village we can understand the migrants we cannot leave just watching them killing our animals and setting fire to the fields in the village destroying the olive trees that we've had here for years and years. now if you know they're your you but yes the ngos are behind this bad situation we know they do this for money of course they are not all the same it and what about the conditions in those council is a bit about the biggest makeshift camp in the question on the island of lesbos it was originally built to host a maximum of 3000 migrants but that number is currently being kept there is 6 times higher so much of the conditions within little or no access to health care the un's call for urgent action stressing the camp should know fabien moving people residents out of there given the time this has been going on meantime the bigger

picture the refugee crisis across greece a country that's been on the front line for years well the pictures deepening last year it was estimated that $74000.00 migrants reached greek shores more than half of them remain in makeshift camps scattered across various locations doesn't see an end in sight either with the country expecting up to 100000 more asylum seekers in the coming year we heard from regional and local officials in one area heavily affected by the crisis and share their concerns about some of the humanitarian activity happening there. we have about 450 n.g.o.s act in and around the country many of them are very active on the islands where the immigration problem exists and some of them are doing a very good job with the help of the our government to help the people but also some of them are really very obscure and ceo's we don't know where they're coming from how they deal with the money where they receive money from how they spend their money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and to right to

control all the sect of use of this and this government because by staying you low in the parliament a few days ago according to which there will be a strict control of the indios it but according my personal opinion is that everybody knows we have n.g.o.s that help with the situation and others that help the migrants to protest there are also religious n.g.o.s who are helping by giving food to poor and vulnerable people i don't have evidence to prove that they are behind any negative actions but i am sure that there is more here than meets the eye. r.t. has our several n.g.o.s to comment on the situation will let you know what they say if they come back to us now meantime let's look ahead so we got coming up after the break here what iran has been marking the 41st anniversary of the islamic revolution in a day mixed with celebration and protests to bring you more on that as more the day's news to it as we come back.

you know world big partisan movies a 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 path 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. we know in psychology that the more people are told that they can't or shouldn't do something whether it's sexual or otherwise the more it makes them want to do it so trying new things violating taboos are some of the most common and pervasive elements in our sexual fantasies.

again good evening the world health organization is urging the media not to cause hysteria surrounding the corona virus outbreak itself reports of citing a medical expert from hong kong warning that nearly 2 thirds of the world's population could be at risk of contracting the disease some concerning instances of only war transmission from people we know travel history to china could be the spark that becomes a big. but for no. it's only a spark objective remains containment. the corona virus which is

the name covered $99.00 has a mortality rate of 2 percent to get some of this in perspective compared to the sars epidemic back in 2003 that killed 10 percent of those who caught it and the more recent health emergency in africa the a bowl of virus was also much more deadly than the corona virus but all that said against that but drop of panic and exaggerated reports people of asian descent are increasingly becoming the target of racist abuse across the globe over coronavirus fears we asked people in london's chinatown if they've noticed a change in attitude towards them of. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or paid on because i. think you . put in people into a category into a box and think it's a dangerous way of thinking this is chinatown in the center of london it's going to be one of the most popular destinations by locals and tourists alike but today as

you can see it's very quiet and the reason for that well after talking to locals and people on the streets they say it's plain and simple xenophobia the elders chinese community group in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the corona virus and the fear factor is clear. you have. to come into the saying what about your personal experiences i think it was last thursday i was to train to work as normal guess what happened is also beside me and i thought 1st. mother because we were standing. on the part of the day i got to stop all to myself because i'm trying to ease and people think oh i mean he be a potential carrier. what kind of reaction have you had from own members of your. people just absurd to suppose for young children because i. didn't hear

a lot of complaining from the parents to chew up. children just to understand that student here hear from their own parents when the cost school when they see chinese student or young young children these are so the new you because you might have a virus education for imported lawless' of important people understand that. the. transport the global problem here so are the one thing the people with the thing that just because you're trying to or your piece of chinese your potential terrorists the way that we documented the things that go on in the eastern world has always it's always been it's home like that anyway it's always been around a think a moment like something like this happens like there's a virus it just allows people to see the things that they're actually being fed for a very long time are probably out that they harbor they have experience anyway and it just gives people a platform to say what they want is this fear i feel like it's still very boring

part time right now for the chinese people i feel like using the disease. way to be here for this is just terrible. if it was somebody from the usa i don't think people would treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treated chinese or in chinese students in central crazy i mean i mean you can see that we see here the 1st 2 cases chinese the other cases in which people come from singapore so you can see that. they don't own kind of you could be and human being can be can be carry we have seen this before and now the coronavirus has instigated and that wave of racism despite there being only a small number of cases confirmed in the u.k. and there's no doubt that the affair. on the british chinese community has had huge implications. r.t.

. thousands of iranians have turned out for anti us rally in the capital to rant it comes as the country mark the 41st anniversary of the islamic revolution on tuesday as tensions continue to spiral to this day where the united states has a look back at how the republic was molded by events way back in the late 1970. well u.s. run relations then took a new low back to now in early january after the top iranian commander. was killed

in that american air strike in baghdad less than a week after that the round retaliated with missile attacks against u.s. bases in iraq dressing radians during the rally president rouhani struck a defiant. oh my god that he was sorry it was actually in the past 2 years america has put so much pressure on our beloved people and all of our treat all of our exports all of our imports and all of the countries needs to exhaust the patience of our people the americans did not understand the greatness of the iranian people the united states believes it is facing 41 years of civilization no the americans are facing thousands of years of iranian civilization . we discussed washington's possible goals with a number of experts and asked whether or not there's any hope for deescalation as the u.s. continues to ramp up the pressure and i want to. do you see a chance here for iran to mend relations with the united states with europe pull things through improvement terms of foreign policy or all things just going to get

tough for us things go on if the united states continues down this path that they will get nowhere with iran if they think that they can overthrow this comic proposed iran they are deeply misguided and i think the american people are ill informed about the reality because the media in the united states is controlled by their leaders and those elites have their own interests as well as talking points directly from ayatollah khamenei but i see a bright future for you ron i think you take it's hard for all of the deposed or isn't. i see they are a mystery with the united states is it because of the problems or maybe they don't even like that or as it is. i don't think so now who do i think it's people are flocking. to. the united states to america populating terribly already i don't suppose nobody really wants to go and live in iran iran is a is a viable nation state it has

a legitimate role to play in the region we can debate whether or not this is malign or otherwise but it is a legitimate role just like any nation has a legitimate role the problem isn't iran per se the problem is the united states the united states needs to learn how to deal with with iran i think it's a miscalculation in the united states to even imagine that iran is in any way or form unstable iran has been able to stand firm despite u.s. sanctions this by the fact that the united states is trying to strangle the iranian economy it's a tension is to make ordinary people suffer i think president trouble stated very clearly in the policy is that iran will ma develop. a nuclear program and he will do everything he can to stop the policy is not regime change but rather a regime. of the current regime of kamini to change course and

stop destabilizing its neighbors and offer you know a brighter future for the people of iran it was the united states that withdrew from the. iran nuclear agreement not iran what iran has been doing since the american withdrawal is exercising exercising its rights in accordance with the the agreement to back off of its commitments so long is one party or multiple parties are not in compliance alleviate that full one is kevin 0 in it out international i can tell you done see it with much more in half an odd saying. through the evening the breaking news so much more for us will never be a fancy on a social media and r.t. dot com programs in your part of the world are lined up for you after this short break from me have a great evening. i

can show you my face but i'm going to teach you must door in 9093 this man was sentenced to death. they get charged with capital murder even though he didn't have the gun didn't pull the trigger didn't intend to kill anybody imagine living in your bathroom for that week with his son of a $23.00. i doubt that i'd be very. good abby to be. confined within 4 gray walls he fights using. are to help him to leave this room. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.
