it's sometimes difficult to be and. yes especially for one makes a political declaration out of his art that's the case of so 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 where the pov linsky will be sent back to russia chucked out of france or whether he will face the music a on those possible criminal charges what we do know is that his political asylum here has become an embarrassment to the french authorities.

9:14 pm
palestinians were also wounded by israeli life fire as they attempted to recover the body the i.d.f. said the victim along with another alleged terrorist had been planting a bomb but hamas which controls gaza said he was unarmed the israeli defense minister praised his soldiers handling of the situation. i bagged the i.d.f. which killed the terrorists and collected the body this is how it should be done and this is how would will be done israel has a policy of retrieving the bodies of suspected palestinian militants although the practice violates international law we spoke to human rights advocate handy about the latest incident in gaza he told us it shows extreme cruelty on israel's part it's yet another proof of how israel in general treats palestinians including 3 things the bodies the old was looked about last years as inhuman and this is evident not only in this is in the in this case in thousands of cases what we have
9:15 pm
seen on t.v. so just that they can see that us by cannibals israel is not free to use whatever force they have even in the case of a military operation but rather according to international law there are large tool to use the level of force that is the proportionate to the outback there was no eminent threat just this level of force to use cannons to use bombs being they could have used at least a little force against the. palestinians this 2nd issue the hardest hit the region and the crawl a treatment how do you was bulldozers. grab the by the they held the shore d.v.d. on camera was that we in general how they treated us that yes this is any human illegal and immoral. turkey or russia or france and germany have agreed to hold crisis talks next month on the conflict in syria simply province syrian
9:16 pm
government forces are locked in a deadly battle with turkish backed militants. turkey which supports so-called moderate armed groups has recently flooded the region with troops and equipment it was in response to a syrian offensive in the last terrorist stronghold in the region considers the province strategically important for its security and there are reported fears that syria's forces could advance further towards turkish held safe zones the russian and turkish president spoke on the phone on friday in an attempt to uphold previously agreed to deescalation deals meanwhile the when warned all parties to reach a cease fire. and a flash point to to the syria conflict is also seen lawmakers in the u.s. push for a diplomatic response against syria and russia with an estimated 900000 people
9:17 pm
displaced by the violence at the same time though american military officials acknowledge the complexity of the situation in italy admitting the province has become a haven for extremist factions. easily proven seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is an on going space in many ways the river rights of groups there all of them are a nuisance and menace in a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter he goes down of it took a closer look at how several world powers have been tangled up in the conflict. it's 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 are fading into oblivion. it's time for assad to get out of the way.
9:18 pm
we have one 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 ad lib is a mere accessory to the geopolitical connotation is 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 operation is imminent we will not leave it
9:19 pm
to the regime which has not yet understood our country's time and nation on this issue who are encouraging committed to making it a safe place. and the people of the region is that because 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 su $22.00 of the russian 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 bedding
9:20 pm
on the ground washington cheers from over the atlantic that a very good job or say shit 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 lip deescalation zone and achieve a pullback of assad regime forces to the 2018 so she ceasefire lines the us has its own stake in the syria war and it hasn't signed 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 us it'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
9:21 pm
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 that government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has been 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 it's actually
9:22 pm
a proxy war by international players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield. with leaves with the focus of the conflict other parts of syria are beginning to get back on their feet a vital highway between the capital damascus and aleppo officially reopened in the last 24 hours for the 1st time in 8 years it follows a successful syrian operation to exert its dominance in the greater aleppo countryside cars and buses were seen back out on the road which connects syria's north and south. france has witnessed a 67th weekend of anti-government yellow vest rallies in lille there were clashes with police. riot police used tear gas to disperse activists who fought back with rocks and smoke bombs around 1000 people were involved in the arrest since october 2013 the yellow vest movement
9:23 pm
has been holding weekly demonstrations over falling living standards here's a look at some of the footage from leo on saturday. at the same time a man was in paris attending the opening of an international agricultural show where he was meeting with industry representatives a group of yellow vest activists turned up at that event and began heckling the president accusing him of being a dictator. god. was.
9:24 pm
god. eric drew a one of the social movements most prominent figures was among those protesters who tried to approach micron before he was forcibly removed by security and subsequently taken into police custody. i wanted to express my dissatisfaction to a manual macro and we've been trying to talk to him for months but it's difficult he only talks to people who are happy with him not the other way round and here we are people who are unhappy with these 5 years and we are not even able to approach him president our kron later promised to meet with representatives of the yellow vests after many months of refusing to do sell r.t. frats a spoke to one of the group's corners about the incident. well this is yet another manifestation of the authoritarianism of this government i mean eric dreher like any normal citizen had a ticket and gone to the international agricultural show it's fine that their mood
9:25 pm
and went around the crowd i would even say this was a rather mild reaction given what we have been facing for the last 15 months we've been persecuted in a way that no other previous social movement has been the yellow vests are the 1st to become an object of such persecution this obviously bothers people and they want to show that is not right and then our address was detained and taking out of the whole list was part of the democratic debate in our country but with mccrone it's all come to an end. now until russia's far east where runners from around the world have been braving subzero temperatures and biting winds and a half marathon with an unusual twist.
9:26 pm
the of a piece of work of course doesn't matter who you are how old you are what interests you running in the off martha brings you together. know those of her mailbox more the week we have top there is art international glad with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for indication let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
9:27 pm
become a battleground in the us. and people demanding the shut down of a local plant from my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is or powerline with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways. a struggle. to put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be pressed. into life to be for us this is
9:28 pm
what will before us 3 in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sit. frontrunning 2020 with max kaiser and stacy herbert as we look at the issues and policies heading into the election now today stacey we're taking
9:29 pm
a look at energy policy. and fracking that's what the millennial n.z. want if their support for bernie sanders and elizabeth warren is anything to go by of course obama and that democratic administration their signature policy was fracking obama brought in fracking to the nation we've seen a doubling of the production of oil because of that joining our our dan collins and tyson slocum now barack obama championed fracking it has seen since 2008 to 2018 the u.s. crude oil production doubled from $5000000.00 barrels a day to $11000000.00 barrels per day hillary clinton as secretary of state flew around the world trying to get nations like poland for example to bring fracking there so this is the older school the neo liberal policy for democrats that was really championed now the younger generation they're against what do you
9:30 pm
think about fracking and should we ban it or is it an issue well fracking obviously is sort of the centerpiece of u.s. fossil fuel production there are huge concerns not just about some of the environmental issues related to fracking which involves inge. acting water because with chemicals in particular it's like sand very high pressure deep into hard rock formations you're basically putting a jet engine on the drill and using water at high pressure instead of the drilling operation so there's tons of environmental issues water issues but there's also climate change the more oil and natural gas produce we produce the more greenhouse gas emissions we emit into the atmosphere and so i think what young people are responding to is we have to respond to the climate crisis and the only way to effectively respond to the climate crisis.
