9:02 pm
the islamists are facing catastrophe in the span of a little over a month they've lost a 3rd of their territory so you remember stand why turkey which said which paid armed and trained those rebels as outraged at the gun is beside himself he needs to vent the shrike out. the syrian regime as well as russian forces and iran backed militants icing with it and live continuously attacking civilians committing massacres a kurd in syria might find strange of the guns concern 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 its control 90 percent of lip and who turkey despite
9:03 pm
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
9:04 pm
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 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 anchorage so 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
9:05 pm
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 acid militia and accuse the villagers of occupying the village they live in also the american soldier who apparently scratched himself as 5 no need to worry he literally separately tweeted about that so there you go an ugly day in and out the war and as things stand liable to get a whole lot uglier still. we discussed the issue with executive at 21st century dot com that's patrick henningsen anybody is that tacky biz not to abide by previous agreements turkey has not upheld its obligations not on the saatchi agreement but also on the astonished agreement on the saatchi agreement the
9:06 pm
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 deescalation 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
9:07 pm
very quickly. if europe because it is senate has voted to set fire brand former interior minister to trial over charges of holding likely he was elected to power on his neat party's platform our europe correspondent peter brings us the story. 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 migrant some of 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
9:08 pm
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 that he 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
9:09 pm
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 a silly and suggesting that he would have done it again if he got the. chance. i feel is my duty to the country 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 a duty for me. well 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
9:10 pm
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 that the italian prime minister is that at 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
9:11 pm
2 counts by the end of this month. neighboring greece that my current crisis has become a battleground between authorities and operating 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 last boss has been a constant scene of protest since camps were established to handle the market influx large rallies have often turn violent and in fact just last week police were called into action to disperse crowds and we asked local residents who agree with the government start that n.g.o.s are fuelling the situation. but like you moon.
9:12 pm
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 field of 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 only for saying it . well here's a bit about the 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 that is 6 times higher well little or no access to health care the un has called for action stressing the camp should be moving some of the residents out meanwhile the bigger picture in which is the refugee crisis across greece the country has been on the front line for years well that's deepening last year it was estimated that 74000
9:13 pm
migrants reached shorts more than half of them remain in makeshift camps scattered across various locations greece doesn't see an end in sight either with the country expecting up to $100000.00 more side of seekers that's in the coming year we have from regional and local officials in an area heavily affected by the crisis and they shed their concerns with us about some of the humanitarian activity going on. we have about 450 n.g.o.s back 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 the money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and to try to control
9:14 pm
all the secretary to solve this and this government has busted a new low in the parliament a few days ago i couldn't do it there will be a strict control of the indios a pot of corn 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 we want of course update you on any response to. another story the world health organization is in the media not to cause hysteria surrounding the corona virus outbreak so after reports a mug citing a medical expert from hong kong warning that nearly 2 thoughts of the world's population could be a risk of contracting the disease some concerning instances of on ward
9:15 pm
transmission from people was not travel history to china could be the spark that becomes a bigger fire but no it's only a spark objective remains containment. the current virus which has now been named 19 has a mortality rate of 2 percent we can compare that for example to the saws epidemic back in 2003 in outback killed 10 percent of those who caught it and in the recent history will remember of course the health emergency in africa. which was also much more deadly than the corona virus all that said though against the backdrop of panic and exaggerated reports is that being called people of asian descent are increasingly becoming the target of races across the wild and of course over the coronavirus fear is so we also people in london's chinatown if they've noticed any
9:16 pm
change in attitude towards them. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or hated 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 old is chinese community group in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the coronavirus and the fear factor is clear. i. mean. what about your personal experiences i think it was last thursday i was to train to work a normal guess what happened. beside me and i thought 1st was the matter
9:17 pm
because we were standing normally. sit on the part of the 2 so all to myself 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 complaining from the parents the children got picked up the. children just don't understand that student here hear from their own parents when the coast school or when they see chinese students or young young children this is so but the mere you because you might have for virus education for important laws of important people understand that. the. transport the global problem here so other one thing the people with the thing that's just
9:18 pm
because you're trying to or you're peter chinese you're 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 is 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 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 0 for this 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 crazy i mean you can see that we hear the 1st 2 chinese today under english people come from singapore so you can see that.
9:19 pm
you could be and human being can be can be kariya 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. r.t. . u.s. 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 with all the details has our paris correspondent shot it depends . 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
9:20 pm
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
9:21 pm
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
9:22 pm
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. and as well a self proclaimed president received an unceremonious welcome back to caracas on tuesday after returning from a 3 week international tour one guy joe was met by angry crowds at the country's biggest up or they held abuse at him and accused him of exacerbating the economic crisis but what you always are called tega son no. no letter or facility to him
9:23 pm
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 quite aust trip to the us. we are 2000 people and we are defending our families. he just goes crazy and we are here to defend ourselves there were members of libyan as well in socialist party present and other movements to the bank why don't proclaim himself the interim president of venezuela they shouted that he'd sold out the homeland and called him trader. and the situation became more tense when quite all supporters came to the airport to meet their leader.
9:24 pm
but. it was said that venezuelan president nicolas maduro would visit the airport but he instead made a statement from the palace address and transport work us. that got promise to transport workers i confirm all my commitments do not waste time let's not be distracted by stupidity from traitors of the country. that's all from me for now coming your way now though it's what you enjoy. banks guys are financial survival you know they say money to relatives could take it easy this is a central bank support dying a film is going to cover my nose they stopped. as the election cycle rages on the media highlights or even invents what they deem
9:25 pm
