4:00 am
listen. i think that's what he's facing. serious exchanges at the u.n. security council over syria's live province where turkey's president warns the launch of military operations in a matter of time. also this hour president of iran a balance of battle as long separatism in france as a bid to win votes 1st party and next month the local elections. and the british national health service announces a policy under which patients from to be homophobic or sexist can be benign to non-emergency treatment i guess to meet the new rules we need to be sure that we're going to lead to pick a situation whereby people who very very little bit of a job be treated but old occasion can go too far i think. the line.
4:01 am
you're watching are 2 international bring your line news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. russia and the u.s. have traded bylane accusations at the u.n. security council as turkey with western backing warns it's a matter of time before it intervenes militarily in syria said lip. it's like the end of the world breaking point babies freezing to death amid it led push these people are begging the world to listen to their plight and so i ask how much longer will we tolerate these headlines that will live there that were called the united nations security council meetings cold that often when militants were marching towards damascus with the full backing of some western states playing the card of suffering civilians and a longstanding truce every time your cherished terrorists come under threat
4:02 am
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 4 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 you 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 a turkish military convoy has already been filmed crossing the syrian border a large line of tanks armored vehicles as supply trucks are reportedly moving towards the outskirts of the syrian army is currently trying to drive militants out of the province are facing our correspondent live conflict. turkey is part of the ceasefire agreement had 3 main responsibilities one separate the
4:03 am
jihad disston the terrorists from the moderate opposition to get them to stop shooting and here to the ceasefire 3 facilitate the opening of an important highway turkey failed with number one bungled number 2 didn't even bother with the 3rd. there's only so long you can tolerate being shot at and shelled by wildcard or the dominant islamist faction they need lip the syrian military went into action and returned near enough a 3rd of a blip because they said they had no choice turkey wouldn't or couldn't hold up its end of the bargain but the offerings of failed to separate militants from terrorists in the timeframe under the 2018 agreements at the same time provocations
4:04 am
from the lives own shelling of the syrian armed forces civilian targets and the russian air base have continued but if you are edouard and you're watching the syrian military steamrolled the rebels you armed and funded for years you'd be worried to worse watching hundreds of thousands of refugees flock to your border that has been an unfortunate side effect of the syrian operation so to stop that exodus and the one who's threatened to do the one thing that could turn those hundreds of thousands into millions of refugees invade syria because humans are going. to has made all kinds of preparations to implement its operational plans and it looks as in every operation we see we can come suddenly one night to put it more clearly operation. it is now a matter of time we will not leave little to the regime that still does not understand our country's determination in this matter and see those who encourage
4:05 am
it we never intend to shoulder the burden that the developments in this region will place on our country. thousands of turkish troops hundreds of tags and artillery pieces are being pumped into it at an army the plough mostly thankfully is in overdrive but so far hasn't worked the turks have rejected all compromise they've demond asaad give up everything he has retaken the u.s. backing has been is important because there was a period a few months ago a very poor relations between washington and ankara and the russians of course for terry trying to take advantage of that turkey over to their side much more to do after all nato country of washington i think is realize the danger of turkey splitting away from nato or from the western alliance completely so they are now giving him backing but as i said at the beginning it's a terrible mistake for turkey to think assad is going to fall of the stage there
4:06 am
should try and recognize that the new realities of the situation do what they promised to do and so much turkey and they zing syria potentially getting in a fight with russia isn't just the worst case scenario it would be a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions but then city turning a regional war global we all understand that and none of us wants to see it happen . well i say none of us had a very good conversation with president carter was i respect him the fact is that he's fighting on it led he doesn't want people to be killed by the thousands and hundreds of thousands quietly signing everyone's already hot tempers is the united states assuring turkey of support the modeling concessions from asaad that pretty much ensure talks will fail see we're in a strange situation where both closer to the end of the syrian war than we've ever
4:07 am
been and we'll also closer to the worst escalation this war has ever seen. the french president has vowed to battle what he calls islamic separatism and france manual mccraw made the claims while campaigning ahead of next month's local elections are to charlatans he 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 islam 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 not gone has vowed to end a program that allows countries such as old jewry and turkey to send moms and teachers here to provide services without supervision this scheme in place since
4:08 am
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 the republic who can teach without the education system exercising their right as controlling and we no longer have control over the programs they teach you cannot teach things that are clearly not compatible with the laws of the republic or with history as we see it. instead mark and wants to have more sprained on french soil that 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
4:09 am
a policy from his political rival marine le pen during that head to head in 2017 per mandate said this. plus extremist mosques identified by the minister the interior and prohibit foreign fund enough places of worship and their personnel strong words coming from the president or is it just a last ditch attempt to woo voters ahead of difficult local elections in just a few weeks. always trying to do to shore up his position with the right wing electorate also with some of the left of course the question of. the secular state in france is important right across the world. calls 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
4:10 am
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 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 particularly some local municipalities some towns in areas where this is a concern for french voters and so what is doing the context with this is to try to reassure where there are law muslim communities muslim communities that the republicans still searching the values of the secular republic. the election
4:11 am
whether that will succeed or not remains to be seen in the opinion polls are not. there were calls for next month's elections seen as being a referendum on macaroons presidency his party on the move could they signal the beginning of the end of much. auti paris. abuse at your own peril that's the warning from the u.k. health service which is tightening its tolerance when it comes to unruly patients doctors can already refuse non-emergency care to aggressive or violent patients but the new rules that come into effect in april are much broader now all types of harassment bullying or discrimination it will be covered and that includes sexist racist or homophobic comments and it just says any abuse of staff has to be taken seriously we will not tolerate assaults physical verbal against colleagues
4:12 am
staff. hate crimes against must be investigated with compassion diligence and commitment under the new agreement police are also being handed more power to deal with crimes against medical staff according to a national health survey last year alone a quarter of all staff were subjected to at least one case of harassment at having pressure to staff already under strain 4 out of 10 now complain of feeling unwell because of stress at work social activists leave jasper and andrea walker a columnist for the new york observer debated the issues raised. the n.h.s. is now saying they won't treat people who are overweight they won't treat people who smoke they won't treat people who've made certain comments they won't treat people who provide that you cannot reasonably expect these people to pay for n.h.s. care that they do not receive so what you most do is also excuse these people from paying the elements of tax that would go towards the n.h.s.
4:13 am
i think that when you look at the n.h.s. stuff there overwhelming concern is to provide support to help people in need so they do. prepared to put up with quite a lot i think where it really crosses the line is all severe verbal and physical abuse think that that is a major concern we need so we need to be sure that we're not going to end up in a situation whereby people who've maybe made a little bit of a joke on sable to be treated but on occasion it can go too far and it can cross the line and not lie is quite broad i think but there are there are piece of terminology particularly around and indeed on sexuality that we deemed acceptable say 203040 years ago which is now considered all the excitable and i think it's extremely important particularly with older people who might be on the work that sensitive and say the fairly treated you never hear people complaining about being
4:14 am
cold colored and stuff like does particularly from the elderly and again the care staff are perfectly sensible enough to say ok dad i'll worry about a deli know about stuff it's not the stuff that is the cause of the majority stress in the produce i mean what's incredibly frustrating about this is that we live in a system in this country where you can drink 10 pints of lager you know yourself in some form of misadventure shouts abuse and h.s. stuff and be treated said you know i would like to see a situation where the cost of the treatments is too. potentially i think when i think of people do i that i think that they should be able to make their own private provision. still to come ukraine a film but here's the twist to it starring ukraine's president i'll tell you why after the break.

4:17 am
a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing look they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and of the currents which the inclusion was involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named into the nanny gang i think it went to the very very top i think it the frosts the water where all the testaments you thought was going on and give the go ahead.

the courts final decision is set in concrete. authorities have accused 2 of america's top universities harvard and yale of failing to report millions of dollars of funding from states like russia china and iran despite the scrutiny of the massachusetts institute of technology has extended its partnership with the russian research institute as caltech about cooperation has raised us concerned ever since it was launched the department is concerned your reporting may not fully capture all gifts contracts and all restricted unconditional gifts or contracts from or with all foreign sources to the massachusetts institute of technology such as the skolkovo institute of science and technology u.s. law state colleges must report foreign donations if the institution is not american own or if the gift exceeds a quarter of a $1000000.00 which is far less than the multimillion dollar contract for school tech when we started in 2011 russia was an ally we had the sort of religious

4:23 am
so we have broad net or broad network or for. their own do all i think there is been somewhat of a. mixture of politics. that that some sense cause more challenges than what they should because most of these relationships are driven more by common interests in common knowledge transfer not by tight some type of espionage of some type of stealing of ideas the challenges the world faces are driven by global people working together collectively to solve solve call them problems and this really is a science and engineering is above the poor little politics of any one nation or social groups of nations many of the world's problems could be solved much more quickly if politics were were outside of and not mixed with the scientific aspirations of many countries. lastly we bring you some world news in brief
