9:02 pm
says it's only a matter of time before he launches a military operation in the syrian province of live and claims he's been dissatisfied by talks with russia on the situation there. this use over the. years made all kinds of preparations to implement its operational plans and as in every operation we see we can come suddenly one night to put it more clearly operation is now a matter of time we will not leave to the regime that still does not understand our country's determination in this matter and to those who encourage it we never intend to shoulder the burden that the developments of this region placed on our country the syrian army is currently on the offensive in trying to drive out armed militants and islamists moskos that is turkey has failed to separate the moderate opposition from terrorists in what is the last remaining pockets of militants in the country footage shows a turkish military convoy crossing the syrian border and
9:03 pm
a large line of tanks armored vehicles and supply trucks are reportedly moving towards the outskirts of the maria for national told neil harvey how this sudden escalation occurred. the situation on the ground remains very dramatic terrorist activity there is very high and you have to remember it's a boss to region in syria's north home to up to 3000000 people including civilians and they're very often used by terrorist as a human shield it's clear for everybody that actions are needed urgently to protect these people from the other hand the attacks by turkey backed armed forces based in egypt against the syrian army continue and this also should be stopped and countering that is something what damascus military operation on the ground in basically a ad and it's not that mr i have the gun is not happy with how things develop on the ground no one is in fact happy if no one. is to blame for the situation that's
9:04 pm
a really good question but it depends on who you ask both sides are are blaming each other we hear from russia and its position is quite clear remains the same the turkish military operation on the syrian soil it's another state you have to. member would be the worst case scenario we heard that from president spokesperson earlier on wednesday dmitry peskov and russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov also commented on mr gun statement in the similar way. friends of failed to separate militants from terrorists in the timeframe on the 2018 agreement the same time provocations from the zone shearling of the syrian armed forces civilian targets and the russian base have continued naturally the syrian armed forces reaffirming their commitment to the original libya grievance including cease fire agreements respond to such an acceptable provocations and we support them in this what mr lover of is talking about is last year so to agreements that turkey and russia came
9:05 pm
to this is when both sides were equally happy and satisfied and according to these agreements turkish responsibility too i repeated again to separate so-called like hardline terrorists and islam is based in and so-called moderate opposition and talk to that and force them believe these area and it hasn't been done properly it hasn't been achieved never so it's in turkey it's in is turkish responsibility so turkey is failing 1st the russian standpoint how does turkey see the situation while turkey is very clear turkey is accusing mosco and damascus of escalating the situation of. agreements and this is turkish president just recently. the syrian regime as well as the russian forces and iran backed militants acting with an ad lib continuously attacking civilians committing massacres and causing
9:06 pm
bloodshed. and we hear that despite numerous talks the turkish and russian sides have been having in the last days including between foreign and defense ministers so it's really interesting why the ground change so dramatically he's brass the raid what we can remember that somehow ironically coincide with a dramatic shift in ankara washington relations with sanctions lifted with mr paul as the police say that america is ready to stand by its nato ally and mr trump openly and directly backing of the guns actions in syria had a very good job or say shit with president carter was i respect him we have a very good relationship yes i agree. but we have a very good relationship by simply do better with the people but the fact is that he's fighting audit led he doesn't want people to be killed by the thousands and
9:07 pm
hundreds of thousands of the gobi about that and one of the reasons but we spoke about it live and we're working together watching walking with so here is something new for mr trump for mr they're gone both america and turkey change their wrath rick and it's not helping things on the ground the u.s. and russia have starkly opposing views on how to tackle the humanitarian crisis in is live and voice from the 2 countries traded accusations of the u.n. security council session a few hours ago. it's like the end of the world breaking point babies freezing to death amid it limb push these people are begging the world to listen to their plight and so i ask how much longer will we tolerate these headlines. recall the united nations security council meetings call that often when militants were marching towards damascus with the full backing of some western states playing the card of suffering civilians and
9:08 pm
a longstanding truce every time your cherished terrorists come under threat candidly it is a marvel to me that our russian colleagues can speak of ceasefires and political solutions in this chamber with a straight face when their own were planes have struck hospitals and the homes of children how can i respond to your accusations of the killing of the civilian population whatever i would say you don't listen and keep talking about targeted bombings of schools hospitals and refugee camps and what hard wouldn't that find a response that's a win win technique who will try to decode it whether it's true or not this is a nother example of the really unfortunate put is ation of humanitarian aid of course there are a huge number of civilians their women and children on the other hand a lot of fighters have been relocated there after local cease fires across syria so i think the russians serious are there concern that extensive
9:09 pm
a prolonged the ability of many of these fighters to hold out which would cause substantial losses to syrian forces and on the other hand. you know of course some civilians are caught in the crossfire there without help so it's unfortunate they were unable to find a better agreement than the politicized. meanwhile in a syrian city of aleppo the 1st passenger plane in 8 years has touched down at the local apple those kinds of days off it was another 50 have been cleared. if militants and a 320 flew in from damascus carrying syrian officials along with journalists civilian flights will hold it back in 2012 when militants took over most of the city. the french president has vowed to end what he calls islamic separatism in some parts of france and manual mcraney paid a visit to the east of the country ahead of next month's local elections charge of
9:10 pm
the reports from paris. it was a long awaited speech from president outlining how his presidency will rally against a political islam. we can advance in a credible way to fight against a political ideology this is separatism which is incompatible with freedom and equality incompatible with the indivisibility of the republic and the necessary unity of the nation 1st in the firing line is foreign interference corn has vowed to end a program that allows countries such as all jiri and turkey to send moms and teachers here to provide services without supervision this scheme in place since the 1970 s. allows those foreigners to provide language and cultural lessons to help children maintain a link with their country of origin around some 80000 children attend these classes every year. i'm not comfortable with the idea of having women in many schools of
9:11 pm
the republic who can teach without the education system exercising the slightest control and we no longer have control over the programs they teach you cannot teach things that it clearly not compatible either with the laws of the republic or with history as we see it. instead mark on wants to have more trained on french soil there would also be an end to the hundreds of additional religious leaders who arrive in france during ramadan mosques will be funded in a transparent way we need to know where the money is coming from who uses it and why he said interesting lead this echoes a policy from his political rival marine le pen during that head to head in 2017 per mandate said this. oh extremist mosques identified by the ministry of interior and receive it for in funding or places of worship and then there are some. strong words coming from the president or is it just
9:12 pm
a last ditch attempt to woo voters ahead of difficult local elections in just a few weeks. always trying to do is to shore up his position with the right wing electorate but also with some of the left of course the question of the. secular state in france is important right across the. relationship with parties on both sides of the spectrum. is important and he needs to make this sort of statement of municipal elections neutering those voters could be a double edged sword france is home to europe's largest muslim community there are said to be around 6000000 here that's about 8 percent of the population and back in 2017 this community overwhelmingly voted for president he's already showing that he's moved away from those centrist ideologies that he once espoused when it
9:13 pm
outlined the tough stance on immigration another policy direct from the playbook of the pen so by grasping at ideas that some see as being from the hard right wing is he likely to lose voters from the left and from muslims but there are some areas fronts particularly some local municipalities some towns in areas where this is a concern for french voters and so what is doing the context what it is is to try to reassure that where there are law muslim communities migrant muslim communities that the republicans still searching the values of the secular republic. the election whether that will succeed or not remains to be seen in the opinion. next month's elections are seen as being a referendum on macaroons presidency his party on the move could they signal the

beginning of the end of my. solar. power. while in a trip to brussels the u.s. house of representatives speaker has warned e.u. allies against twa way nancy pelosi insists the chinese tech giant is a major threat to security and should be barred from developing 5 g. networks in europe which could be used for spying but she fell to mention america's own far reaching global surveillance network and explains now that the impeachment debacle is all wrapped up guess who's going to europe in order to promote one of the trumpet ministrations key policies it's the speech ripper herself nancy pelosi the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives is urging european countries to drop plans to use while away as their 5 g. carrier for the benefit of a few corporations you cannot sell the privacy of the people of your country down the river as i said before it's like having the state police write the chinese
9:15 pm
state police right in your pocket you see nancy pelosi just cares about your privacy are that she's one of what edward snowden called the gang of 8 key figures that are overseeing surveillance in the united states is for snowden he did meet in disagreement with you he did violate the law in terms. of releasing those documents we don't know. odd timing as well it's just been revealed that the cia was the secret owner of a swiss company that was offering people encrypt people's privacy was compromised because the cia had a backdoor what the u.s. government speculates that china might be doing they have been caught doing themselves. while the e.u. might be more apt to listen to a top democrat then to the donald it seems they still aren't buying nancy's song and dance her euro 2 were is a flop. while
9:16 pm
he will be able to continue in song and will not be excluded by g. believe such and such numbers destruction it takes us to see so we decided to ask people what they think of this supposed danger of china spying on them are they more afraid of china spying on them or the american probably the us and i'm not so much worried about china i'm worried about anybody who had to having access to our data. be more. ready to spar in union the chinese it could come from anywhere in the world probably us. again you would hope i guess just the us given the alignment of interests from over the us sorry probably you know what the us as far as i'm concerned. can go to hell donald trump along with them it's
9:17 pm
a common pattern of human behavior sigmund freud called it projection nothing drives us crazy or thinking that someone else might be doing that noddy thing that we know we are doing ourselves. archie new york. u.s. presidential candidate michael bloomberg will sell his media empire if he becomes president the announcement came ahead of the latest round of democratic debates being held on wednesday in las vegas bloomberg will for the 1st time face his rivals who've been crying foul over the billionaires spending on campaign advertisements summated bloomberg has splashed out more than $400000000.00 on television radio and online advertising that's 10 times more than current party frontrunner bernie sanders well donald trump spends around 325000000 on his whole 202016 campaign earlier andrew farmer discussed the issue with legal analyst jennifer damascus or libertarian presidential candidate arvind very raw political
9:18 pm
analyst. because if i could start with you. says that bloomberg is buying is that a fair comment i do think it's a fair comment even if you look at the rules that the d.n.c. has instituted this is a complete change of what they've done so far this complete you know this late runners coming into their campaign spending $400000000.00 with perhaps he's spending so much money and so that he can make up for the fact that he doesn't have any real grassroots support but i think it definitely amounts to vote buying it's not so problematic that bloomberg is spending money on his own campaign the bigger problem is the d.n.c. what rules is the democrat national committee democratic national committee making with super delegates and with everything else because the way the d.n.c. seems to be operating is that you're allowed to run for president play if you have the money or if we at least approve of you it's not against bloomberg it's not it's not his fault that he's need to spend this kind of money because that's the way
9:19 pm
campaigns are the bloomberg campaigns views would be massively unpopular with a lot of the democratic base and a lot of the american people and by fixating on this sort of minor non-issue i mean in politics you ought to spend as much of your own money as you want to by trying to get people to fixate on this non issue the bloomberg campaign is affectively distracting america from the positions that bloomberg holds that are at odds with the majority of both the democratic base and the american people this is a very unpopular person with very unpopular opinions according to the democratic party base and also the general population he's polling you know i haven't seen one poll where he's polling above 5 percent this is really showing the corruption of the d.n.c. what there is nothing illegal about what he's doing but i think really that's part of the larger indictment of the american political system more than anything else as well as the rules of the d.n.c. as has been stated that this is an indictment that was a perfect description of the american political system of course you can look at
9:20 pm
the republican party a lot of republican candidates had a. a lot of money back in 2016 and yes donald trump spent his own he was not favored to when he was not going to when hillary clinton had tons of funding between hollywood between lots and lots of billionaire billionaires so the american people could still vote but that also raises the question when there are lots of different candidates within one party like we're seeing with the d.n.c. and i think the american people deserve to see who the candidates are and what their actual viewpoints are and how they stand on things democrats and republicans they control the presidential debates they change the the commission on presidential big debates has changed the debate threshold they do everything they can to keep their parties and independents out of the debates and you can see this in the way that they mistreat any candidate that opposes a massive military overage so they've shut out sanders jabbered all the 3rd party candidates who oppose it the united states is definitely an oligarchy and i think that most of the people the united states know this
9:21 pm
a lot of these people who voted for obama and they're voting for trump but both of these people received plenty of money from fossil fuel companies from banking institutions from financial institutions from all these different entities but in a true oligarchy not much has been done about it. which is a very mental activist group extinction rebellion has dug up the lawn of one of the world's most prestigious universities in cambridge it targeted trinity college saying they wanted to highlight how the union vests in fossil fuels a number of activists were arrested by police who have been criticized in the past for being too lenient. trinity college has invested point 1000000000 pounds in oil and gas companies most of any of the 45 colleges they are complicit in the climate logical crisis.
