turkey threatened syrian forces in its own province of idlib and a u.s. patrol clashes with residents of an eastern town resulting in the death of a boy. italy's former interior minister faces a trial charged with illegally holding more than $100.00 refugees at sea as the senate votes to investigate the anti migrant politician. the german city of dresden commemorates 75 years since the 2nd world war bombing campaign has left an estimated 25000 dead we speak to a man who narrowly escaped the ordeal. there were bodies lying around everything was destroyed it was chaos because there were also many refugees from poland east prussia that's why you don't know how many in fact i.

come to the program i'm calling with the world news this hour 1st to syria our top headline story a boy has been killed and another man injured during clashes between american troops and locals near the border with turkey the fighting broke out when a u.s. convoy changed its usual patrol route. good luck. to them i'll go. down some residents through and rocks at the vehicles as they rolled through the american patrol opened fire returned russian military police also arrived on the scene to try and calm the situation elsewhere in syria it's not only the u.s.

presence in the country fueling clashes turkey's president edouard is threatening to attack syria forces in it live if another turkish soldier is targeted there right as difficult in a war stricken province and white believes it's holding all the cards. rebels in the islamists facing catastrophe in the span of a little over a month they've lost a 3rd of their territory so you would understand why turkey which said which paid armed and trained those rebels is outraged at the gun is beside himself he needs to vent the shrike out. the syrian regime as well as russian forces and iran by militants. continuously attacking civilians committing massacres on 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 this ceasefire again and again and again al-qaeda linked jihad it's control 90 percent of it and who turkey despite promising to do so haven'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. crisis an adlib 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 with troops with tanks with artillery vowing lesion for anyone who dares shoot at them what is wrong we are determined to drive

back syrian regime forces from our observation posts by the end of february we will do whatever is necessary 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 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 and happened when the american convoy drove into

a village where they weren't welcome. this is the move to which the americans came in and faced resistance from the villages people who threw stones at them so they oncet with bullets young man was cute and. 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 an ugly day in our glee war and as things stand liable to get a whole lot uglier still global affairs analyst patrick henningsen believes turkey should be doing more to deescalate the conflict not the opposite. turkey has not held its obligations not on the saatchi agreement but also on the 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 militant 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 greenman. if you remember back in the fall of 20 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. set to stand trial on charges of holding more than $100.00 refugees at sea for a week last august majority of the senate voted for me he had. and was stripped of his parliamentary immunity last month to face a court hearing it was. policy that saw him again popularity rating now prime minister back in 2018 in the polls his our europe correspondent. the former italian interior minister. will face trial on charges of illegally detaining migrants at sea. voted by a majority to revoke his ministerial immunity for his time in office it all relates to an incident that took place in july of last year this was when the italian coast . guard ship the get ettie picked up around 140 migrants who were crossing the

mediterranean from libya to italy some of those on board required immediate medical attention and they were taken off that left 116 passengers 60 migrants on board who left their foot days as material salvini demanded that other nations chip in and take them what prosecutors are saying is that in doing this. you know laterally that he repeatedly and willfully ignored requests from the prime minister of italy giuseppe conti to allow the ship to dock at an italian port. to trade him self as a campaigner against migrants coming to italy putting himself up as one of the big defenders of the italian borders and saying that. the e.u. nations must do more to help italy when it comes to the migrant crisis he will now

be facing a courtroom on charges of having illegally detained these people he will in his own words be facing this trial well in his own inimitable style. i feel is my duty to the country italian people and to my children i want to be proud of what i did 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 along with greece italy has been on the front line of europe's micro crisis the 1st port of call for many desperate people making the dangerous crossing over the mediterranean.

salvini faces a nother votes in the senate later this month that could see him stripped of his ministerial immunity again this time relating to another incident last year in all when he refused the migrant ship open to be allowed to dock at an italian port what we're hearing from the italian prime minister just set the context is that at the time materials salvini was obsessed with keeping migrants out of italy so mr salvini will face a court room will face trial on one count of having a legally detained migrants he may well see that double to 2 counts by the end of this month. it's somebody in the german city of dresden as it

commemorates the victims of a mass carpet bombing campaign it's estimated that 25000 civilians died in the raids led by british and american air forces subdue 5 years ago to the day since then historians have questioned whether it was a necessary move for the 2nd world war needed to end. everything around turned into now i see a woman in her hands is a bundle it's a child she runs and falls the child disappears into the plains.

and we have the story of about whose parents had the foresight to take him out of dresden shortly before the bombing began and although he was only 5 years old at the time he still has recollections of what his family went through. my father rented 2 small rooms for my brothers and for his mother in law where we were temporarily accommodated we were evacuated on february 11th and did not witness the attack ourselves if we had been in dresden we would have not survived in the city

center the bombing started and the house was on fire the parents rushed outside and took nothing with them others went back to their flats and they died in the flames in the narrow streets the flames were spreading so fast people were suffocating it was a simple struggle for survival after the attack no more no less for weeks afterwards the corpses were burned at the old market my father had to help there to from february to the beginning of may they started to clear some rubble and burned the bodies there were 6 to 7000 corpses burned at the old market 200 meters from here there are pictures of this there were bodies lying around everything was destroyed . we were 30 kilometers away dresden was bombed and destroyed we didn't know where our parents were and i know that they tried to survive during the attack a 70 year old grandmother suddenly had 3 children and did not know where her daughter and son in law were these are feelings that cannot be described the

grandmother almost went crazy it was chaos because there were also many refugees from poland and east prussia that's why you don't know how many in fact died because there were so many unregistered people here who were burned the corpses could not be identified. a military historian michael jones says the bombing raids on dressed in black precision and were carried out on an excessive scale. well that's always been a controversial of right from the bombing as so from the 30th of february 19th 45 dresden was a very beautiful city it was a cultural city so the question was was it really necessary. there was a lot of destruction and i think it was excessive and with hindsight it would have been much better for a number of reasons if the bombing raids had been more targeted and less than sandra's had been used i think the scale of the station was unnecessary

and very regrettable. ahead of potentially crucial local elections in france next month president mccrone has a mutiny on his hands and as m.p.'s from his own party abandon ship the french leaders also seeing his public popularity hit new lows reporting next from paris he shouted to bent. in 2017 emmanuel mark calls to power in france promising a new kind of politics next. party. he went on to secure a majority in the national assembly but less than 3 years later the wheels already coming off the bus. into elections he's facing problems on several fronts firstly his government and many of its policies have proven them popular take pension reform which has sparked protests across the country.

those changes. every day citizens even his own m.p.'s have questioned the plan. the desire for reform and the speed imposed have taken precedence over the government's ability to listen and consult with the fringe she since left isn't the only one to have done so the only move party has suffered several high profile resignations and defections m.p.'s in ministers who may have won the line have begun to question the party's position there was a syndrome of us all being very well behaved because we didn't want to cause problems for the government but today there are lots of members of parliament who don't want to play that role in a bid to rally the troops mark or invited his parliamentarians to the telling them they should be proud of being perhaps not too subtle reminder that they should fall

in line counts popularity since his meteoric rise to the presidency has long been crumbling recent polls show that less than one 3rd of people in france view him favorably he's so unpopular that voters are expected to hand big gains to marina penn's national rally and 2 green parties in france is municipal elections next month. and is also struggled with movements like the yellow vests 15 months on and not only the protesting on the wing but the revolving they accused of being the president of the rich a title he has not surprisingly rejected but a new report by france's observatory for economic conditions suggests it's a label that perhaps should stay cool and one said that for all its needed a jew for terry and a head to state it seems members of his own party and many citizens disagree with that enough to perhaps bring matt cohen and his new politics crashing down.

on paris. on the way spying operation come get up in washington that allowed intelligence agencies to steal secrets from more than 100 countries for half a century as are reports in around 90 seconds from now. 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 the united states nato representative claims that every nation has been targeted by either russia or china in cyberspace warning the world that it will strengthen its file walls against moscow and beijing but said the report revealed that the cia and its german counterpart rigged swiss made encryption machines back

in the 1970 s. allowing them to spy on embassies and governments into to sions in 120 countries was done in court and our report. the washington post is calling it the intelligence coup of the century the cia working with west german secret services pulling the strings of a swiss encrypt company and stealing government secrets from over 120 countries foreign governments were paying good money to the u.s. and west germany for the privilege of having the most secret communications read by at least 2 foreign countries it was a foolproof operation 1st called thesaurus and later renamed rubicon for over half a century of the company crypto a.g.d. was a captain of the world's encryption industry based in neutral switzerland most governments were quick to believe their secrets were in safe hands little did they know the cia and west germany's b.m.d. had co-opted the company's founder to create a backdoor into the world's best kept secrets in 1908 western spies had complete

access to the egyptian president's communications with cairo during the camp david peace talks with israel a year later washington was spying on a rainy and officials during the hostage crisis and. as late as 1986 u.s. intelligence was listening to libyan officials congratulate each other for the bombing of a berlin disco although the c.i. a and b. and d. weren't able to hook their main rivals russia and china had enough foresight to look elsewhere for their encryption needs nowadays though those 2 are the scapegoats for all of the west's cyber woes. that our alliance every one of our countries has had side to and hypertext from russia some from china for washington it's become a routine to point the finger at russia and china but it's not like u.s. intelligence operations have wound down since then on the contrary they've adapted

. edward snowden is the 29 year old intelligence contractor who leaked top secret national security agency information revealing the incredible extent to which the u.s. government is monitoring and keeping records of not just our phone calls the national security agency has developed is built an infrastructure they can intercept almost everything. the national security agency there in the united states allegedly spying on quite vast amounts of citizens data the group to buy and president obama who is reviewing the washington spying program has largely defended it although the program had not prevented a terrorist attack it was still vital to homeland security. the

central intelligence agency has walsh control of highly classified documents and computer code about the cia's technical capability to carry out. into electronic devices things like. android phones only for julian assange and london accusing the cia of devastating incompetence saying the agency has lost control of its cyber weapons it doesn't matter who you are friend or foe they're coming for your secrets but i have since we started talking about the n.s.a. always made it clear to the u.s. president that spying among friends is not acceptable and if you take wiki leaks vault 7 documents into consideration it makes operation rubicon look like child's play the scope and direction of the cia's global covert hacking program its malware arsenal and dozens of 0 day weaponized exploits against a wide range of u.s.

and european company products include apple's i phone google's android and microsoft's windows and even samsung t.v.'s which are turned into covert microphones even their own citizens are unsafe now increasingly we see that it's happening domestically and to do that. the n.s.a. specifically targets the communications of everyone in ingests them by default it collects them in that system and it filters them in atlanta laws as the minute measures them and it stores them for periods of time simply because that's the easiest most efficient and most a valuable way to achieve he says snowden took the revelations about crypto eiji even further comparing it with a formerly secret $10000000.00 contract between the n.s.a. and a major u.s. computer security firm it begs the question what info grabbing operations are still going on right now under our noses given the passage of time former cia employee

and whistleblower john kiriakou doesn't expect anyone to face prosecution over the reported operation. i can only speculate but we have a mandatory declassification law in this country where if information is at least 30 years old and it is not operational in nature that is it doesn't include information related to sources and methods that it has to be declassified and i wonder if that's really what this is all about that the information is old enough that that there's no reason to keep it classified anymore the u.s. has interfered in more elections around the world then any other country in the world and i wouldn't be surprised if it was more than all other countries in the world combined this is something they that the u.s. does routinely regularly this may at least temporarily serve to take the attention off of russia off of china and other countries because this is something the united

states does all the time not only will there be no criminal repercussions i would not at all be surprised if those responsible for this operation who are still in the cia or n.s.a. are not given medals for what they've done. it's been claimed that a staple of a vegetarian diet tofu is more damaging to the environment than eating meat according to any research by a british scientist if you look at tofu which is processed so there is more energy going to its production when you correct for the fact the protein in it is not as adjustable compared to meat based products you can see that it could actually have a higher global warming potential than any of the morning gastric animals to get the same amount of protein tofu is worse of tofu is a solely based product of a source of protein and it's been eaten by people in asia for thousands of years it remains a staple food for many but for many farmers in the u.k.

it's become a challenge we spoke to the director of the sustainable food trust there if i'm a patrick. when you look at the nutrition we derived from tofu and you compare it with the nutrition which you could get from grass fed beef for instance grown in the united kingdom where i thought. actually the nutrition per acre per kilogram of the food produced might actually be more efficient and more sustainable it's not about whether i should become the eagle or eat meat without asking the questions because it's just as important to ask the questions about the plant elements of our diet as it is about the livestock grettir extinction rebellion need to know more about the difference between unsustainable and sustainable agriculture livestock managed in a sustainable and ethical way are part of the solution or can be part of the solution not only the problem of teenage environmental activist gretta tom burke it was mentioned there has long said that livestock production is one of the main

drivers of climate change but the natural health scientist we spoke to believes that's not entirely fair. most of that soil is genetically modified and is very reliance on extremely large amounts of what herbicides i'm going to sate and then it has to be transported from south america for example to to europe. the impact is is is is massive and trying to put your fingers absolutely on accurate figures is difficult but i think we're now in a position where we can say that. removing livestock from the diet overall particularly when that livestock has come from sustainable systems pasture reared animals that are men tending the soil that are also found on marginal lands that cannot be used for arab world farming is actually better for the environment than still relying on exclusively on using solar maize as

a primary. polls or new boom bust is on the way from washington i'll be back after that with your next. wherever you're watching thanks for choosing all to international. you know world a big part of the law 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 smart 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

now at 2020 we have the global potential pandemic here and people's fear is compound it by the fact that nothing in the global economy is anchored to anything of soul. and so you have this remark 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 correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know lawyer. book video it's really in the new bill is that i mean you explain you go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of $24.00. of those who took coach invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in.
