quarter was across this story for you in the week. say some new people moved into the neighborhood they came from wu han the epicenter of the deadly coronavirus pandemic perhaps you'd be worried or angry but it be hard to match the anger brewing in ukraine to just that situation was. 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. the number of. the buses made it to their destination in the end but there on welcome reception wasn't exactly what kiev expected. this is one of the greatest disappointments i'm disappointed because in the model we saw this is a disgrace for the whole world to see i'm truly ashamed ukraine's protesters don't seem to be up for a game of russian roulette with the coronavirus. of the biggies is the way the

a key ally of the president back on his former spokesperson now linsky and his partner were taken by the police and they were questioned in regards to those videos questioned in 2 invasion of privacy and broadcasting videos of a sexual nature without the permission of the person who is in those videos the interior minister here in france has said he should face the full weight of the law if it did you feel casting certain videos without the consent of the author is subject to criminal sanctions in our country resulting in a substantial fine and 2 years imprisonment and these offenses must obviously be prosecuted it is a matter of respect for democratic rules and this is not the 1st time that pawlenty ski has been headline news here in france he was recently accused of brandishing a weapon a knife or to a new year's eve party and of injuring 2 of the party goers at that event

it's sometimes difficult to be and. yes especially for one makes a political declaration out of his art that's the case of fear that poverty and we already know and he's just been arrested for setting the door of the former k.g.b. building on fire. so it's not clear whether have linsky will be sent back to russia chucked out of france or whether he will face the music here and those possible criminal charges what we do know is that his political asylum here has become an embarrassment to the french authorities you know the radical artist and activist told the sport the crumps news agency that is casey says shines a light on freedom of expression in the country every month for months door to door it is a really monstrous situation because i thought that france was a country that upholds freedom of expression its not freedom of expression if i cannot say or do anything against big lies and hypocrisy. more the stories of the

and making our proud the premiss city in the not for. the ira moscow and elsewhere the news we brought you had tens of thousands of men taking a stand against racism. germany throughout the week following wednesday's terror attack in hand though where 9 were killed from the town where the tragedy happened all the way of to the north of us 600 kilometers away people could be seen carrying banners against racism and extremism the attack on 2 she should bars has been described by police as being racially motivated.

where the wake of the shootings the establishment in berlin was quick to point the finger at anti migrant rivals it saw the alternative germany party in particular accused of having extremist tendencies for its part the f.d.a. rejected those claims and said the shooter was simply mentally ill but that didn't stop the ruling christian democratic union for calling to cut all ties with their rival. a 1000000 theater in shit if you look at their texas profile it seems like he had racist xenophobic as well as far right motives and this trenton's mean might believe they're for the c.d.u. you should always be clear not only for the c.d.u. but for all parties in germany that they can be no corporation with a party which tolerates far right extremists and let's call a spade a spade nuts is

a monitoring so we are resolved to have no cooperation with the f.d.a. in any shape or form it's important to keep the spirals we have a level in the public debate that is more of a child rational political debate and when i hear yesterday night about it shooting i instinctively knew that our opponents would blame us for being responsible for it it is completely ridiculous and i can only ask everyone to read that money fester of this crazy terrorist and then compare it to what we are doing and then it's all views that it's nonsense it's just fake news and of course we fight against it fake news. we time over in france a country witnessed a 67 weekend of angry yellow vests protests with crowds turning out in several cities nationwide to voice their grievances against the mccrone administration in louisville the demonstrations descended into violent clashes again with police.

he will be able to influence them with the peaks good bye she believes such and such destruction to texas 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 probity us and i'm not so much worried about china i'm worried about anybody who had having access to our data. to be more. ready to spy on you know in the chinese it could come from anywhere in the world probably us. can you would guess just the us given say the alignment of interests from over the us probably you know what the us is far as i'm concerned. can go to hell donald trump along with the it's a common pattern of human behavior sigmund freud called it projection nothing

drives us crazy or thinking that someone else might be doing that nobody thing that we know we are doing ourselves. artsy new york. well i can let you know we contacted gone his environment ministry and that's the wrong link totally there let's go on to something else we'll talk about syria next. now the tensions running high in syria's war torn italy province the leaders of turkey russia france and germany will discuss ways to resolve the crisis next month and so it could be kicking off the riddle of the announcement comes to an ongoing exchange offensive between syrian government forces and the turkish militants. a full of thanks to. turkey which supports so-called moderate armed groups has recently flooded the region with troops and equipment was in response to a syrian offensive in the last terrorist stronghold in the region and create

considers the province to teach equally important for its security and there are reported fears that syria's forces could advance further towards turkish held safe zones the russian turkish president spoke on the phone on friday we can report it up tempt to try to uphold the previously agreed deescalation deals meantime the un was all parties to reach a cease fire before the escalation turns more bloody is the worry now the flashpoint of the syrian conflict also seeing lawmakers in the u.s. push for a diplomatic response against syria and russia with an estimated 900000 people displaced by the violence on the ground there at the same time american military officials acknowledge the complexity of the situation in italy admitting that the province has become a haven for extremist factions it seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is and i'm going speak in many ways the raw variety of groups there are all of them are a nuisance and menace and a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter it goes down the took a close look at how this latest chapter in the conflict in their lives drawing in

competing international powers along the way. pushes 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 against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten 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 geopolitical as global and regional superpowers 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 it 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 refuted 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 22 of the russian air force at the request of the syrian command have carried out as strikes against the terror groups this allowed the syrian troops to successful the 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 his lead 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 libya's glacial zone and achieve 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 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 legitimate government in syria the sovereign government the government recognized by the united nations partly to topple their 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 oriel so yes what we've seen the tragedy of syria the tragedy of the so-called civil war it's actually a proxy war by international players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield. you know with it live very much the focus of the conflict right now and of the coming week maybe other parts of syria let's not forget the getting back on their feet case in point check this a vital highway between the capital of damascus and aleppo officially reopened the last 24 hours for the 1st time in 8 long years it follows

a successful syrian operation to exert its dominance in the greater aleppo countryside cars and buses were seen back on the road as you can see for yourself which connects syria's north and south it's exactly if you watch the clock 25 past the hour thank you for choosing to r.t. international more of our top stories in the last 7 days recap for you with me kevin 0 in with a weekly woodson's just about 35 minutes then between now and then i can tell you our next tailor made programs for you in your part of the world on air after a break in fact you won't want to miss this one with his extradition hearing starting tomorrow it's going to be big news we take half an hour out to look at the life from the times of june the sun next.

going. julian a social travels to sweden to deliver a speech while there he met 2 women aged 31 and 26 the wiki leaks founder was soon involved in an intimate relationship with both of them. had the woman who had invited him. also offered her to which is studio so there's only one there's only one bed in a tent she said i'm going to be away you can stay so great. the things chuang and the woman came back. and. wanted julian to snape there anyway. those women they really approached him it seems like especially the younger ones

saw him on t.v. fell into law whatever that means to be the 1st in it it looks like someone who wants to be a rock'n'roll groupie thing approaching him and really chasing him down and finally she also succeeds in it and they share a one night stand which at some point becomes a balticon don't you know. it was only after learning that a song should slept with both of them at the women decided to go to the police that proved to turning point both from wiki leaks founder julian assange it was when news story. he took a very different. women went to the police. once that's a reporter raped their report they wanted to encourage him to have an h.r. vetoes because they have had sex with him unprotected and.

so there was no like actual rape right there was no violence there although all the newspapers afterwards they were saying rape allegations rape allegations there was no actual rape that this is this this this is it but this is exactly this is that was the aim of the whole exercise to start hearing the would rape in connection with jodi and. destination and exonerate the 2 links in the round and you'll. know when the rain falling is ringing easing is another story and even more news in the renomination. in many people's minds there's something suspicious about him and because he hasn't and he's run away from the war i think it would have been better had he gone to sweden because i think he needed is a change he's clear his name but. at the same time i completely understand why he did the program in sweden with the only country where i understand the language of

addition the media climate has been set open in sweden. i think that if julian went to sweden at that point he would have been extradited he was often like mocked in the prez and people will say ah he just wants to know as he doesn't want to face the music in sweden and so on and then said he's paranoid but i think from today's perspective and we don't really know now what the that the u.s. the u.s. is really after him i think he was. the big thing that i think truly undermined the public support for julian was a swedish case obviously you would find the newspapers of high repute. television stations to doing julian in and became.
