how serious it problems is racked by violence the tensions grow between russia and turkey which are accusing each other of breaking deescalation agreement. it's nice woman terry a ministry minister told p.b.s. to face trial for not permitting refugees to dance in sicily last year despite him being elected on an anti migration board. sitting on a powder keg greased takes on n.g.o.s off the claims are fueling hatred and violence between president xi we meet locals from one island on the frontline of the migrant crisis. 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 hysteria over the growth of virus

outbreak peaks people of asian descent find themselves on the receiving end of racism globally. 247 live from the russian capital this is r t international where if you are in the wild a very warm welcome to all things. you have got lots of stories let's start with this one tensions have grown between russia and talk you on wednesday now it's off to talk he's president threatened to launch attacks against syrian government forces in the war stricken province receptive and also accused moscow of targeting civilians in the rebel held region which has provoked a furious denial from moscow senior correspondent mark costive has more. rebels and the islamists are facing catastrophe in the span of a little over

a month they've lost a 3rd of their territory so you're going to stand why turkey which said which paid armed and trained those rebels as outraged at the gun is beside himself he needs to vent strike out. the syrian regime as well as russian forces and iran by militants icing with it needless continuously attacking civilians committing massacres a kurd in syria might find strange of the guns concerned for civilian casualties but russia took those accusations seriously pointing out rebels had launched ceaseless drone attacks on the russian base violated the cease fire again and again and again al-qaeda linked jihad it's control 90 percent of and who turkey despite promising to do so hadn't been able to separate from moderate rebels the

statements made by turkish representatives about alleged russian military attacks on civilians in the edward discolorations zone are false the real reason for the crisis and ad lib unfortunately is the turkish colleagues have failed to fulfill their obligations to separate the moderate opposition militants from the terrorists in these areas but the gun appears death ended mute to his own faults instead of explanation he's flooding it live with troops with tanks with artillery vowing lesion for anyone who dares shoot at them. we determined to drive back syrian regime forces from our observation post by the end of february we will do whatever is necessary both on the ground and in the air without any hesitation and without any delay and egging it all on is washington apparently they've forgiven ever the gun for his little crusade against syrian kurds and have lifted

their sanctions on turkish officials involved in attacking kurds they went further saying they stand with their the god as he invades a sovereign state 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 there are now 4 nuclear powers engaged in syria 5 if you count israel and they're fighting on different sides the danger of escalation is colossal that happened today when an american convoy drove into a village where they weren't welcome. but this is our car village the americans came in and faced resistance from the villages people who threw stones at them so the americans answered with bullets. a young man was killed and 2

were injured a 14 year old youngster killed to add insult to injury the pentagon in a statement referred to the villages as a pro asaad militia and accuse the villages of occupying the village they live in also the american soldier who apparently scratched himself as fide no need to worry they literally separately tweeted about that so there you go another day in and out of the war and as things stand liable to get a whole lot uglier still while we discuss the issue with the executive editor of 20 . knots patrick henningsen heaven is that tacky is not to buy by previous agreements turkey has not upheld its obligations not on the saatchi agreement but also on the astonished agreement on the saatchi agreement deescalation zones are not going to work if turkey doesn't. maintain its side of the bargain and in order

to separate the militants supposedly from the regular moderate rebels we know in reality that there is no difference really between those 2 so that part of the agreement is neither here nor there but the because of this there's no way to have the escalation zones on the a stunner agreement search if you remember back in the fall of 28 teen there were a number of things agreed and one of the key things was that turkey would assist in the liberation of the international road to damascus to aleppo road where the the m 5 highway to turkey has never done that and the reason none of these agreements are working is because actually turkey appears to be pursuing a parallel agenda and as long as it's doing that there's no way that they're going to meet those obligations and therefore the situation will become dysfunctional very quickly. but it had to europe because it's nice senate has voted to send firebrand former interior minister. to trial over charges of holding my

clients he was actually elected to power on his necke party migration top form our europe correspondent peter out of a has the details. well the italian senate has voted to revoke. his ministerial immunity from prosecution that will see him stand trial later this year charges of having illegally detained migrants on a boat last year after they tried to cross the mediterranean into italy if he's convicted there he could face up to 15 years in jail well this particular incident relates back to what happened in july of 2019 when the italian coast guard vehicle the italian coast guard vessel the betty picked up around 140 people who were crossing the mediterranean from libya to ward italy some of those on board needed immediate medical attention that left 116 on board the coast guard vessel they

were kept there for days at the express orders of mr salvini salvini said that they would remain on board the ship until. the e.u. nations came into and said that they would take the people on board now what prosecutors are saying is that material salvini acted unilaterally willfully refused and ignored requests from. the italian prime minister to allow this coast guard ship into an italian port. had long said that he was fighting against immigration of fighting against migration into italy that he wanted to sure up italy's borders he felt this italy was being used as a soft touch by the rest of the e.u. when it came to issues of migration and immigration. he did say that he would face

his day in court as he put it like a man saying that what he did he did. and suggesting that he would have done it again if he got the chance. i feel is my duty to the country the italian people and to my children i want to be proud of what it is to hold my head high our constitution says that protecting our homeland is a sacred duty for italian citizens as a minister as a man as an italian fighting people traffickers defending our borders and security defending the pride and dignity of my country protecting italians from all the illegal migrants in the country is not a right but the duty for me. along with greece italy has been at the front line of europe's migration crisis the 1st port of call for many desperate people making that incredibly dangerous crossing over the mediterranean.

oh it's not over for salvini when it comes to the removal of his ministerial immunity later this month he'll face another vote relating to another incident from last year this time in august where he refused to allow the migrant vessel open arms to dock at an italian port but we are hearing from giuseppe conti the italian prime minister is that the time he describes as being obsessed with stopping migrants from arriving in italy so much definitely seeing the inside of a courtroom on charges relating to detaining migrants all one count it may well be 2 counts by the end of this month. are not far away in greece the michael crisis

has become a battleground between authorities and operating that as organizations have been accused of inciting hatred and violence between locals and 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 of les boss has been a constant theme of protest since camps were established to handle the micro influx large rallies have often turned violent and fact just last week police were called into action to discuss crowds we've asked local residents who agree with the government's stance that n.g.o.s are fueling the situation. but like human. we all know what n.g.o.s are about they're behind this bad situation in our village

and 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. 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. well here's just a little bit about that biggest makeshift camp in question on the island of les boss it was originally built to host a maximum of 3000 migrants the number of people currently being kept there is 6 times higher with little no access to health care the u.n. has called an action stressing the camp should be moving some of the residents out meanwhile just the big picture the refugee crisis all across greece a country that's been on the front right really for years and it's deepening last year for example it was estimated that $74000.00 migrants reached greek shores more than half of them do remain in makeshift camps gutted across various locations

greece doesn't see an end in sight eyes though with the country expecting up to 100000 more asylum seekers in the coming year well we heard from regional and local officials in an area has really affected by the crisis they said that concerns about some of the humanitarian activity happening. 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 problem exists and some of them are doing a very good job with the help of the our government people but also some of them are really very obscure and we don't know where they coming from how they deal with the money where they receive money from how they spend the money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and right to control all the secretary to solve this and this government has by staying in the parliament a few days ago according to its there will be a strict control of the indios

a part of 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. watty has also for n.g.o.s to comment on the situation one of course update you on any response. well the world health organization is agin the media not to overhype the dame just surrounding the new co-writer virus at the same time chinese community is reporting creased on a phobia i'll tell you about that story and much more after the break. you know world of big partisan group. 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 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. and.

welcome back the world health organization is urging the media not to cause hysteria surrounding the current virus outbreak it's off to report some upside to a medical expert from hong kong the woman needed to thoughts of the world population could be at risk of contracting the disease. some concerning instances of only transmission from people with no travel history to china could be the spark that becomes a bigger fire but for no it's only a spark or objective remains containment the current virus which has now been named covert 19 has a mortality rate of 2 percent just some perspective the sars epidemic back in 2003

well that killed 10 percent of those who caught it on a more recent health emergency in africa that botha fires was also much more deadly than the current corona virus. all that said though against the backdrop of panic and exaggerated reports as they say people of asian descent are increasingly becoming the target of racist abuse someone across the globe coronavirus fares well we asked people in london's chinatown if they noticed a change in attitude. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or paid off because of. putting people into captivity in 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 creep in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the corona virus and the fear factor is clear. i mean. what about your personal experience 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 was the. matter because we were standing normally. sit for to get the. most because i'm trying these and people think oh i mean he be a potential carrier. what kind of reaction have you had from own members of your community people just absurd to suppose for young children because i. didn't hear a lot of complaint from parents to children got picked up.

children just don't understand that student here hear from their own parents when the coast school really see chinese students or young young children these are so the year you because you might have a virus education for important the laws of important people understand that. the. transport and 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 prudence who carries. the way that we've documented the things that go on in the eastern world has always it's always been told like that anyway it's always been around a think the moment that something like this happens like there's a virus it just allows people to say the things that they're actually have been fed for a very long time are probably out that they harbor they have these feelings anyway and it just gives people a platform to say what they want because this fear here i feel like it's just a very boring hard time right now for the chinese people i feel like using

the disease. way to be c.e.o.'s of it is just terrible. if it was summer from the usa i don't think people treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treating chinese people and chinese students in central los crazy i mean you can see that we hear the 1st 2 cases chinese today on the cases in which people come from singapore so you can see that. you could be and human being can be can be carriers we have seen this before and now the coronavirus has instigated another wave of racism despite there being only a small number of cases confirmed in the u.k. and there's no doubt that the effect on the british chinese community has had huge implications. are to. us tariffs are weighing heavy on one of france's most iconic products leaving wine makers pleading for help

official reports suggest the market is suffering significant losses here's our paris correspondent charlotte humans. well just imagine that the u.s. is the 2nd largest importer of french wine so the idea of this 25 percent tax that was announced back in october and has been since slapped on those french wine products is really hitting the market for example we had some figures from the french federation of wine and spirits exporters say that since that tax was introduced they've see those exports plummet by some 33 percent and they're suggesting that the loss to their organizers their members could be something worth more than a $100000000.00 euros this year alone so they're very concerned they say that those tariffs of already hit somewhere in winemakers so hard that they've cut jobs in some of even had to go into bankruptcy as

a result of this now that tax was imposed by the u.s. following a decision by the world trade organization last year that the e.u. had in the given subsidies to the plane maker airbus and then those taxes were slapped on a range of european products but it really seems to be that the french wine makers are the ones that are suffering it is now essential that the government provide concrete responses to the requests made by our sector for 4 months in particular through the creation of an emergency compensation fund of 300000000 euros they want that money to cover the losses from their losses so far but also to cover any tax increases the one exporters say this was a political decision to give those subsidies to airbus and they've been caught in the middle of something that has nothing to do with them and they're even more concerned that they could be even further tax hikes around the corner this is over the dispute between the u.s.

and france over the so-called gaffe or taxes is a tax on digital giants so last month president machen try to ease the pain and said you know what we are talking with us and we are going to look for a solution to this. great discussion with donald trump on digital tax we will work together on a good agreement to avoid tariff escalation well that is not easing concerns because there is a suggestion that that 25 percent tax could be raised all the way up to 100 percent and that many say would completely decimate the industry here now we are expecting an announcement in regards to that from the u.s. later this week that do watch this space on that but many say even if that's avoided that and there is an agreement the damage has already been done and that's because french products of already lost shelf space in the u.s. market that was a market that took them years to conquer and they say reconquest of that market may just not be possible. finally venezuela's self-proclaimed

president received none ceremonious welcome back to caracas on tuesday after returning from a 3 week international top was met by angry crowds at the country's biggest app or to hold abuse at him and accused him of exacerbating an economic crisis. no how was that. no letter or facility it wasn't easy for positionally to one guy do it to return to venezuela he passed border control at the international airport without any problem but he was confronted by airline workers from the company which was sanctioned after why dost trip to the us. we are 2000 people and we are defending our families. he just goes crazy and we're here to defend ourselves there were members of liberty as well and socialist party present and other movements to debunk why don't proclaim himself the interim president of venezuela they shouted

that he'd sold out the homeland and called him traitor was. the is the moment the situation became more tense when quite all supporters came to the airport to meet their leader. i. know it was said that venezuelan president nicolas maduro would visit the airport but he instead made a statement from the palace address and transport workers you know there are about got problems here to transport workers i confirm all my commitments do not waste time let's not be distracted by stupidity some traitors of the country. but now i'll be back at the top with the very latest to keep you busy i'm told that it's one of the wedding documentaries joy.

of. the. good whole existence to you so. i put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president injured. or somehow want to. have to go right to be 1st as it wasn't before 3 of them or can't be good that. i'm

interested in the waters of the. question. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok to suffer actual food on my table it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments there's a lot of conflict within the game between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of that money is made. close one on each other because he knows each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex just to get some 20 a life where. you don't care and one of my cares about your so your care might anything. now at 2020

we have the global potential pandemic here and people's fear is compound by the fact that nothing in the global economies and curved anything so. and so you have this room are showing paranoia by disorientation in a world bereft of any kind of solid anchor and it's only going to get more chaotic . in 2040 you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know here i mean you are liz put in the. split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. of those who to vote had invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure

a secure and prosperous and democratic. should. live that you know what it is that. this. just. as if i didn't get

invited to visit have to live as a. tumble so to school school with them without a home system all of that had them ok and that's so not counted and it's something that i'll use this medicine as you see if i didn't send it if it was whether there was yes there are there is a. small market myself. just just for.
