tighter security and more surveillance a far right to vittie in germany there are also calls for tougher gun laws in the country. peter by strength is the f.t.s. foreign policy speaker in the bundestag he told us why he believes the party is being targeted. and was so far annoyed he was because a friend make the point he said it's very soon on to. this guy had no connection to any any political group to any. extremist to any rising groups and what is. the situation that the all political parties are trying to get somehow through the a.f.p. this is the only way how can they manage to fight against us because they have no real political arguments and policy in the political discussion so therefore they

are always just trying to push us into a. corner sort of people afraid even to talk to us to listen to all our political arguments we are we are living in. very heavy political oppression in my mind we are not free to express what we want our people. under attack left extremists and. you know what happened now is that we are putting in the corner where we belong. the leaders of turkey and russia spoke by phone on friday about the deadly conflict in the seriously province but important and ratchet tie affair to one said they remain committed to previous deescalation agreements earlier this week militants backed by turkey. launched an offensive against syrian government positions near

the town of all never up. with an estimated 900000 people displaced by the violence 2 u.s. lawmakers have called for secretary of state might bump aoe to take diplomatic action against syria and russia however american military officials have also acknowledged the complexity of the situation in italy admitting that the province has become a haven for extremist factions it liberal and seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is an ongoing space in many ways the rev wright of groups there all of them are a nuisance a menace and a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter or does it was done of takes a closer look now at how you believe has it become a key flashpoint in the syrian conflict. post-race coming to shove in syria turkey

and the us russia israel and multiple militant factions all skirmishing in the country and previous motives for warring fading into oblivion. it's time for assad to get out of the way. we have won a good study says we've beaten them and we beat them badly all that is a thing of the past now as new goals vividly take shape the latest fighting in

idlib is a mere accessory to the geo political connotation is global and regional superpower sparring with each other for dominance ideological and moral borders are blurred with turkey a nato country teaming up with terrorists to push syrians out of their own province. the operation is imminent in particular we will not leave it to the regime which is not yet understood our country's determination on this issue and those who are encouraging it very committed to making it live a safe place for both turkey and the people of the region at all costs militants shamelessly boasting turkey provided a.p.c.'s coming on mosques covered by turkish artillery fire russia's air force joins the party together with syrians repairing the onslaught as. moscow officially asks ankara to hold its fire and so

it does to prevent militants from moving deeper into syria into route $24.00 the russian force at the request of the syrian command have carried out as strikes against the terror groups the salada syrian troops to successfully ripple all attacks but turkey is not alone in this fight while jihadi groups are doing the bloody bidding on the ground washington cheers from over the atlantic that a very good job or say should with president carter was 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 the united states will continue to coordinate with turkey on diplomatic approach is to restore a cease fire to the it led deescalation zone and a cheap a pullback of assad regime forces to the $2800.00 so she ceasefire lines the u.s. has its own stake in the syria war and it has its eye on very particular and well

predictable prizes from geo political dominance to well oiled we did leave so just because we're keeping the oil we may have to fight for the u.s. that's ok i like the oil yet a nother act in this conflict israeli jets routinely hit targets on syrian soil it's clear what israel wants to to weaken iran's influence yet another power playing its hand and this massive and messy political gamble unfortunately for the people of syria since 2011 their country has been used as as a chessboard on which the syrians appear as pawns and it's somebody else's geo strategic chess board in particular the united states and its allies basically tore syria apart partly designed to topple the. secular but legitimate government in

syria the sovereign government the government recognized by the united nations partly to topple that government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has an important place in geo strategic we in geographically in this resource rich region of the middle east it also has. so yes what we've seen the tragedy of syria the tragedy of the so-called civil war is actually a proxy war by international players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield. the united nations has sharply criticized rioters in central ukraine after they attacked a bus taking a vacuum east from china to a quarantine facility fearing the spread of the new coronavirus dozens of locals in novi some jari demonstrated against of the arrival of 45 nationals and 27 foreigners from the city at the epicenter of the outbreak.

the flight from the chinese city of rwanda where tens of thousands of people have been infected landed in the ukrainian city of hark of on thursday the clashes left 9 police officers and one civilian injured and he's done quarter of. say some new people moved into the neighborhood they came from the epicenter of the deadly coronavirus pandemic perhaps you'd be worried or angry but it would be hard to match the anger brewing in ukraine to just that situation. ok. oh. oke oke ok.

for the past several days ukraine has seen violent clashes across the country scores of policemen have been injured by locals throwing bricks riot police have been called in to disperse angry mobs and it's all because the ukrainian authorities tried to do a good deed for the international community they accepted with open arms a number of their countrymen and foreigners trying to flee by plane assuring the public the passengers were 100 percent coronavirus clean an important detail when ukraine itself has yet to see a case of the disease a quarantine zone was even set up at a health center in poltava just to be sure but the protesters did all they could to stop that plane from landing and when that failed they started blocking roads until riot police removed them by force. turku.

the buses made it to their destination in the end but their unwelcome reception wasn't exactly what kiev expected presidency lansky even called out the protesters for showing the uglier side of their humanity it's a shame the not all of us can be proud of the humane reaction the efforts to show funny ways to be. close spittles not to let ukrainians back to ukraine we're not demonstrating the best of our character here especially given the georgie the passages are under 30 to most of us they are almost children children are not ukraine's protesters don't seem to be up for a game of russian roulette with the coronavirus u.s. weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars are believed to have fallen into the

hands of extremists in syria the story much more after a short break this is art international. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depth. already made in the shallowness. this whole business about blaming russians america is getting really the static because here's a guy who is effectively trying to dehumidify his group of people slavic people of the stakes this is remarkably ironic coming from life like. welcome back with his arch international now a pentagon report has accused of the us military of failing to keep track of weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars in syria it suggests weapons were left vulnerable to loss or theft arteries and how if you were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to send weapons to a foreign country it would probably pay to keep track of them but apparently that's

the last thing that was on the pentagon's mind when it came to operation inherent result in syria. special operations joint task force operation inherent result person no did not account for the budgeted 715800000 of count on his train and equip fund equipment for fiscal years 2017 and 28 seen hundreds of weapons were not properly stored duplicate purchases were made the amount spent went higher and higher now that might give critics of the military industrial complex something to complain about but that's not the crux of the problem here take a listen to this special operations joint task force operation in hebron resolve on 1st that sustainment command personnel left thousands of council offices trained and equipped for and weapons and sensitive equipment items for reports of muscle theft without conducting consistent inventor reason ensuring proper security for c.t.e. f s equipment 1st c.s.c. could not determine where the items were lost or stolen which could delay the

initiation of an investigation so let's be clear they're saying they're not 100 percent sure these weapons and that up in the hands of isis terrorists but that there is a pretty good chance they did now that should raise plenty of questions especially for those who recall that back in 2718 the so-called vetted opposition was getting stock loads of handouts in weapons from the pentagon. the original fiscal year 2017 president's budget requests to train and equip and fits in syria funds training and equipment for about 14000 part of foods troops from the vetted syrian opposition seems like some of these vetted opposition were not really interested in fighting the i.c.l. terrorists they just focused on their ongoing efforts to violently overthrow the syrian government one of our partner forces there unilaterally conducted patrols outside of the agreed upon deescalation zone and engaged in activities not focused

on fighting isis it seems like american weapons pretty consistently end up not in the hands of terrorist fighters but in the hands of terrorists themselves let's see what's been captured. $715000000.00 can buy are a lot of ammunition now and that much goes missing in a war torn country it's crawling with terrorists eyebrows should be raised for comparison the republic of the congo and gonna spend less than $715000000.00 in

their annual military budgets latvia spends slightly more in $27.00 team approximately $1000000000.00 worth of arms transfers were not properly monitored by the pentagon big mistakes were made in this arm and equip program it partly it's an accounting issue because the pentagon as we know has never been successfully audited they tried to audit the pentagon once and it was an absolute failure. they have no idea where the money goes and that's one half of the problem they just don't care because it's not about the fence it's about 1st of all the military industrial complex the more weapons you lose the more you can buy and it's this kind of symbiosis that the war machine in washington has so that is on one hand but on the other hand i think there's an intentional lack of oversight with regard to weapons in syria we've seen so many times advanced american military technology in the hands of isis and al qaida and their offshoots in the region there's of been

a flood of weapons into the region there are no consequences to the us it's only a benefit to the well politically connected military industrial complex in washington d.c. to manufacture and send over more weapons they don't care about the misery of the people on the ground who have to suffer u.s. leaders frequently describe their operations in the middle east as efforts to stabilize the region but nothing brings stability like going into war torn country is crawling with terrorists bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons and then accidentally losing them kaleb mop and r.t. new york. iran has condemned the latest u.s. sanctions imposed over friday's parliamentary election washington earlier blacklisted 5 members of iran's guardian council accusing them of unlawfully disqualifying candidates from the ballot one of those officials gave his reaction saying the restrictions have nothing to do with supporting democracy. even without

boycotts and sanctions on members of the guardian council the us regime has so in that it has nothing to do with democracy it's a business and it's to stop this dictate to sit and milk the region like a cow we are now more determined to lend votes to the people polling stations across iran close to a few hours ago with more than $7000.00 candidates vying for $290.00 seats in parliament all candidates were vetted by the 12 member guardian council which is responsible for interpret ing the constitution and overseeing elections it is the 1st nationwide ballot since u.s. sanctions against iran were reinstated after washington's pull out from the iran nuclear deal the election comes at a challenging time for you iran with the economy in recession and recent hostilities with the u.s. over the killing of a general just all the money middle east analyst soraya support gave us her views on the latest sanctions. i think that it's fine for the west to be pointing

a finger at iran because that when they're actually quite 104 fingers at themselves showing because the world now has come to laugh at america at the elections that they've been holding the farce and the lies and propaganda but i think there's also a dark message in the us and i think that is to agitate iranians inside iran and polarized. the united states wants to give the impression that is on the side of the people who are have who are pro west and there are dark reformists there's nothing more outrageously open than obvious about the interference with these sanctions because the sanctions insult as far as the monetary things girl doesn't make any difference it's just the message they're sending and they're saying how do you not pick the candidates that we would approve of more that's basically what it is. a russian national has reportedly been arrested while attempting to leave

spain the russian foreign ministry has said 'd it believes she was detained out of the request of the u.s. or do so i ask you taylor reports. the russian foreign ministry has announced that on the 14th of february spanish authorities detained a russian national woman who goes by the name of a lesser what do we know about her while we know that she is from a part of siberia and such russian the mother says that for over 10 years between 20082019 she worked as a clock in the u.s. embassy in moscow and maybe she was just taking fingerprints in the international department which was eventually closed down off to actually what translates in the russian center for plant inspection now is in that capacity that unless it was in spain in the fast pace on the items of 10 a wreath and she was part of an official delegation on a short walk trip and it was on her return journey back to russia that she was arrested thought that she is still being held in a facility on the island now let's listen to how her mother has described this

whole ordeal the sort of. the plane is here there is not the airline said she was booked on to the flight but we couldn't find her she didn't answer the food. without knowing where the worse and then it turned out that she was detained. we still haven't even talked to her they stopped her like she was and who thinks they didn't know what had happened now what's worth noting what's very interesting is that there has been some suggestion that preceded was arrest was instigated by the u.s. but why would washington be interested in her while her mother said the subset of patients have been made against her daughter that she sold. biometric data to 3rd parties something which can be punished with as much as a life sentence stateside but according to such and sources the russian foreign

ministry is concerned that actually this rest is part of a wider pattern of. u.s. behavior it's a new case of the us authorities an acceptable practice of hunting for russian citizens around the world the russian foreign ministry has repeatedly issued warnings about the dangerous and risks associated with similar actions by the american intelligence services and indeed other cases would seem to back that up for example alexandra vinick is a russian national an entrepreneur who was arrested in another european country nearby greece again at the request of american authorities now washington claims he's been involved in some sort of bitcoin involved money laundering scheme something that the family to noise similarly an executive of a russian state company was arrested and it's in the last year again at the behest of washington so definitely sutton echoes that as for this current case with

a lesser christin of our moscow of course is trying to get to the bottom of it that we're following the story as well way. that does it for me i will be back in a while it's a 33 minutes with another look at your news this is our country. the be your local come with not

a moon but in your circles one of. the bunch that includes a. to go over there and they're going to do you. want to get with you you know what it seems that you know your limits you situation. that.

this is for me but for the one thing no you can't afford that i'm christiane and i'm bridgeboro in washington coming up. coronavirus continues this week china's manufacturing base is global auto forms are changing course in the nation we'll take a look at the past for the sector during this situation plus the week has come to an end so it's time to take a swing around the globe to analyze how markets performed made global uncertainty and could there be a new frontier for biohacking today we break down the recent report on the practice and what concerns there are around the sector. today let's go and dive right in. china has suspended more punitive tariffs on imports of u.s. goods in response to its troops in the trade war these goods include industrial components and medical and factory equipment and this comes at a time china is struggling to contain the mounting costs of the viral outbreak that has closed factories stores and slowed exports and while china hinted that the

outbreak constituted as a force majeure or and therefore will have to delay fulfilling its commitments under phase one reuters now reports. quote the u.s. government still expects china to honor its commitments to which it had agreed late last year many analysts didn't see this happening even before the outbreak started and now it looks increasingly unlikely and it looks like president doesn't even believe that he can strong arm china into these commitments as he has preemptively promised farmers a 3rd ag bailout package and as global markets sink friday on fears of corona outbreak spreading let's take a look at the positive side of this with more than 76000 confirmed cases worldwide only 2247 deaths have been reported as of friday the overall death rate from c.d.c. study is about 2.3 percent which is much higher than the death rate of the flu which is around point one percent in the u.s. but it is much less deadly than sawyer's which had a mortality rate of 9.6 percent.
