the gist of. our lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real way. the struggle on r.t. . and the phone call the presidents of russia and turkey agree to prioritizing a meeting on the ongoing situation in syria as it will probably need an escalation in confrontation between forces. troops are killed in syria a turkish official is quoted as saying that there will no longer be they will no longer be stopping refugees from crossing into the european union groups of reportedly already made their way to the border with greece. elsewhere. in the democratic bill you know though that tells the party to unite behind anyone else in the senate it cannot be donald trump who look at whether the road to the white house is paved with dollar bills.

other things joining us this is r.t. . and we start with the latest escalation of confrontation between russian backed syrian forces and turkish troops in seriously province presidents of russia and turkey over the phone conversation in which they discussed holding a high level meeting to intensify talks on the situation earlier russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov spoke out in support of the syrian army's right to respond to ceasefire violations and call for a corporation between all sides within the agreed framework. we reaffirm our commitment to agreements reached by the presidents of russia and turkey a suggestion is that everyone should already start fulfilling their was a the syrian army have every right to respond to regular violations of cease fire from inside the the resume to neutralize terrorists we cannot restrict the syrian

army from fulfilling requirements written in the universe solution in fighting terrorism. the syrian army has been engaged in a very violent fight to defeat the last militant stronghold in syria and the province according to moscow the turkish troops that were killed on thursday were among terrorist fighters involved in a large scale offensive against the syrian army but the russians say they weren't even informed of the presence of turkish troops until they were hit by that airstrike on february 27th near the settlement of b. whom turkish soldiers who were embedded with terrorists came on to the syrian army fired at the same time according to the coordinates transmitted by the turkish side to russia there were no turkish troops or units in the area and the russian reconciliation center says that they immediately rushed to the aid of the injured turkish troops after discovering what had happened it's certainly strange they weren't informed in the 1st place since the center maintains regular contact with

ankara and the russians say that the data turkey provided suggested that there were no turkish troops there although ankara recently denied this and said that they did inform russia of their troop locations the banker also called for a consultation with its nato allies following the attack leading to an emergency meeting of the military alliance and there's even been speculation that article 5 could be a vote now what that means is article 5 would potentially draw turkey turkey's allies into a war against syria and russia but again as of now that is that's just speculation but we also heard from the country's minister of affairs and he said that syria will be held to account. but for what happened turkey is determined to continue to do it for fills its objectives in accordance with its legal rights the murderous regime and those who encouraged it will account for their betrayal in the most severe way now a lot of this chaos stems from disagreements over

a ceasefire that came into effect earlier this year on the one hand turkey accuses syria of violating that ceasefire with this offensive against the militant stronghold an adlib and on the other hand syria and russia accuse turkey of not holding up its end of the bargain apparently ankara was supposed to remove terrorist groups from the region while negotiating with the more moderate groups but making a firm dividing line between the 2. possibilities between groups there but the efforts that it's made to that effect have been quite ineffective and more talks are scheduled in march actually between iran and turkey and russia on the issue so we'll have to see if that yields any results of that can solve the crisis currently going on in this syrian province. meanwhile nato has held a special meeting in brussels on the situation at the request of turkey the 60 general un stoltenberg saying they allowed stands in solidarity with ankara. constantly looking into what more they can do to provide further support for.

nato allies are engaged in trying to move forward in the efforts of the un there 1st and find a peaceful solution we call on turkey we call on. russia to fully engage in such a un led efforts to find a peaceful solution. to political analyst and director of the crisis lisa institute a small coleman he believes that nato support will remain mostly verbal. i don't think nato forces will enter syria in support of those who've gone or the problems that turkey has with nato alliance principle is an attack on one is an attack on all but the turks might be risking trying to say that an attack by one nato states brings in all the others to support it and i think is also reluctant to see move to come into a confrontation with russia so there's quite

a lot of powerful voices of nato who support the turks desire to see the syrian army's offensive stopped but i'm not sure they want to go beyond words and perhaps symbolic gestures well as military conflict continues in the region large groups of refugees continue to head for europe these pictures are from our video roughly they showed people in turkey some of them carrying children reportedly making their way to the border with greece earlier on friday there were reports of a turkish official saying the country would no longer stop refugees including syrians from crossing into the. a new refugees in turkey could potentially contribute to an already tense migrant situation in greece in days of protests across several greek islands against the government's plans to create new migrant camps on thursday the owners of last bus was paralyzed by general strike existing camp that currently holds around 20000 migrants it was designed to handle just 3000. people voicing their anger through some earlier this week several

rallies against the building of more camps turned violent extra police were sent to control the situation but this only serves to raise the tensions. the fight continues nothing is over with struggling to prevent the construction of any closed or open prison last night was a big win for the people of lesbos who repelled the landing of the government's repression forces on the island of lesbos terrorizing us won't work they sent riot police to oppress our parents struggle we continue we want no clothes to open hotspot in less boss or anywhere the government managed to unite all the people of blessedness against its policy which would great a large warehouse of refuge in migrant prisoners we demand that no new campus constructed on the islands the immediate removal of the existing camps the closure of the moria camp received guarding of borders and the regulation of n.g.o.s our lives have been destroyed. one day violence erupted as protesters rallied near

a military camp on course of trying to attack police officers there with stones and flares local media reports say on the same day around 60 people were injured most of them police government says there is only one solution. but there is no alternative to the government's plans to build a closed structures to accommodate refugees and migrants. form i mean not to small rice fields that athens needs to redouble its efforts to deal with the migrant temp likes. the majority of. migrants in lesbos are not asylum seekers they are. economic immigrants what we in ireland say is that the government should save guard the borders and also the government has. to go or north with the

examination of the asylum applications and also the government has to start the issues with a new decision from the european court of human rights and it says that any person that enter illegally in the area of sigint then the government has the right to deport them immediately so i think the government has to be more active on the issue of the port patients. u.s. democratic party leaders are being urged to group around one candidate to prevent bernie sanders from getting the 2020 nomination and it seems big money donors are trying to pull the strings skittle reports. they say money can't buy you friends or happiness but might be true but they could just buy you the white house mega dona bernard schwartz has been digging deep in his pockets to help the democrat course

but it's not entirely a no strings attached situation we should know who is the best person to be dull trump and with all due respect bernard sun there's. so which horses shorts betting on well he's not fussy but either of his friends from the billionaires club will do who just like him aren't shy on splashing the cash and since we're already here together let's look at just how much cash with king take joe biden now he's discovered that he can't just rely on his instagram a bromance with obama to take him all the way so decided instead to drop a 6 figure sum on just one ad for good measure though he did keep in some of barmen the style. this is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary career in public service you've got to admire him though if i were trailing 12 percent behind the top candidate and had my own backers jumping ship i'd be a bit tighter on the past strings by the way biden still pales in comparison to

what his buddy bloomberg has spent so far it's estimated the ex new york mayor has dropped a casual 400000000 on his campaign but hey it's only no point 6 percent of his $64000000000.00 fortune so no biggie also at least he's having some fun with it not even the aspiring u.s. president is above a cheeky trolling campaign and it seems to be paying off because he's risen from the very bottom of the polls to somewhere near the top of course let's not forget he is an old hand when it comes to knowing just what money can get you all of the new democrats that came in put nancy pelosi in charge and gave the congress the ability to control this president i got them hoops well let's look for. field now what some of the candidates like to judge to its credit p. sense that people might not be found of this whole exclusive club of the rich so decided to play the role of the average joe just the man on the street and i'm the

only candidate on those debates stages in this race the major candidates who's not a millionaire or a billionaire what this a penniless candidate and big money politics what if you believe bunny not quite we're going to contrast our viewers with may go to judge 40 billionaires who are contributing to his campaign the heads of the c.e.o.'s of the large pharmaceutical industries the insurance companies and so forth well since bonnie's made an apparent let's peek inside his coffee he might go about divvying up the cash once he gets his hands on those government funds but until then it seems he's more about treating himself he has dipped into his funds and brought out around $14000000.00 for just a few t.v. ads so it seems that no matter what side of the political spectrum you're on you know that to win in this game you need a lot of the green stuff to help you along the way but money is always played a big part in american elections especially since 2010 with the us supreme court

ruled in a case called citizens united that you could spend as much money as you wanted on candidates because corporations spending money on politics is free speech spending money is free speech corporations are people that's what this supreme court decided that's a travesty and that's really undermined american democracy even more and made it more a money game then ever before that's a big problem in the u.s. money yes and the role of money is growing even more but you know i don't think it's at a point where a movement like senators could still prevail. friends has been invaded by comments made by the ambassador and its allies who was critical of french antiterrorist squads in the west african country charlotte duvets given ports. tensions have risen diplomatically between mali and france following those

comments by the mole in a passage to france in which he criticised and denotes the actions of french soldiers on the ground in his country. there are no desirable some elements of the army because we see it all we see to all over and we don't know what they are doing on the streets of the marco at night and it's not good for the image of france. all those remarks have provoked anger here in frogs while in the us it was hauled in front of the foreign affairs with the street to explain those actions meanwhile the french armed forces with the stuff of large didn't notice them this being false and also an acceptable this was a statement from her ministry rather than channeling and spreading false accusations we expect the ambassador of mali to devote all his energy to implementing the post summit and achieving success for everyone it comes just off to france held a big summit just

a few weeks ago in the south of france to discuss the future of the soho region and operation volcano this is france's largest overseas operation with all the $5000.00 troops stationed across 5 countries in the sawhill region including mali now president marcos also said at that summit the french soldiers were paying for the conflict in blood let's have a look at some of the recent attacks in the sawhill region.

it comes amidst of the tensions that just protests on the ground against french troops being stationed to volley protesters saying they don't welcome also saying that for all system treating the country as if it's a colonial entity and it comes of it's the fact that the moment president himself is that meeting that his government has open to all sorts to harvest in a way to find a solution to the conflict now we know that you said the sport affairs minister here to paris to try and smooth things over but the reality is this latest diplomatic and incident is going to raise more questions about why a french soldier is in the ground possibly offering up their lives to fight for a war that there are. still to come a hollywood director let slip topples placement although she thought about possibly

spoiling future whodunnit movies explain over the few months. that's also the forth. to. the nature. of the. structures to break decided to show her extra. some function so i hope for this to. in the book. seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape our disdain become educated and engage with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hollywood movies minds become more predictable for the keenan it have to 9 sound director ron johnson revealed up what has a very strict policy when it comes to showing products on the silver screen of these bully boys it goes into more detail for you in the latest episode of in case you missed. bob guys in movies concomitant i phone for example here's a picture of jamie lee curtis in the movie nights out and she's holding an i phone

and that means that she is a goody so the evil one is never wanna holding the microphone because i'm very protective of its image according to the director of knives out who probably were revealing that in an interview. i don't know if i should say this and i probably shouldn't but and this is very pivotal if you're ever watching a mystery movie bad guys cannot have i phones on camera in fact back when. 24 was a big deal in the early north. very key yet it. was pointed out the fact that all the bad guys were on p.c. all the good guys. lie say let's turn that theory on its head here's my iphone good here is me and i will be back. with my i phone yeah barry yeah barry yeah.

yeah why are you. making cause face. so i inara mr teddy bear. i'll be waiting for your call. so many courts as opposed to judges and trainee lawyers wearing headscarves that were. violated courtroom you try lity with details his piece of all of. germany's constitutional court has decided that when it comes to wearing islamic head scarfs court rooms are a special case a blanket ban on religious symbols similar to what they have in france isn't favored in germany but when it comes to wearing islamic headscarf in court that's

a different matter the court has rejected the constitutional complete against the ban on wearing a headscarf or certain official activities over those obligations constitute an interference with the completeness freedom of belief and other fundamental rates this is justified the case was brought by a german moroccan legal trainee you argue that the state of pace's rules that she couldn't wear red scarf while carrying out certain official duties was constitutional the ruling by the constitutional court has raised a few eyebrows on social media with people asking the question why a crucifix is allowed in a court room but a headscarf is not on the one hand the state may prohibit women lawyers in training from wearing the headscarf in court in order to maintain ideological and really just neutrality on the other hand. germany a courtroom must be religiously neutral hands the headscarf ban also germany.

headscarf ban because the court should be neutral at the same time crucifix on the wall because it is known not to be a religious symbol has scarf bans target the group that is most discriminated against in germany in making the ruling the constitutional court pointed out that headscarf can be worn in the court building there only prohibits its carrying out public duties in the court itself i spoke to people on the streets of berlin and asked if they made this decision ok. i think it's absolutely not pride believe in a free country and everyone here has the right to freedom of expression and freedom of religion. in this nation are not new. no i think that it's wrong because it concerns religion if a legion obliges you to her it then you have to do it no matter where you go that's why i don't think it's right that it's forbidden. myth that. we are old people they have their own culture and we have our culture those people have to adapt to where

they are i have nothing against it those people who come to germany they have to adapt but i have nothing against the headscarves. germany 16 states have differing rules when it comes to religious symbols in this case the court ruled that the trainee lawyer couldn't wear a headscarf as it went against the neutrality that a court room must show however it has led to questions over there being one rule for christians and another for muslims this is not a job this is something we need to do so this is something it's belong to the law and the constitution only needs to represent the constitution and it should be neutral all all we know about it we're out of here and the country was at christiania to remain a that was the only change and they need to respect that and the main of the people a lot of people in this go to they don't want to see a lot of muslims on of their allegiance who are being the symbols or privileges to

presenting the constitution in the court this isn't something we are told know yet about the main constitution or the country and they make us more we're going to need people will be tortured are presenting the law without any other religions to be mixing in this law. little thompson middle east peace plan built by the us administration is the deal of the century is proving to be not all it was cracked up to be 50 former leaders ministers from across europe append a joint letter in which they expressed grave concerns falsely has more details. 54 major european foreign ministers and leaders have expressed outrage over this so-called deal of the century they say that it is a kin to apartheid and of urge for action to oppose it to prosperity is not a road map to a viable 2 state solution nor to any other legitimate solution to the conflict the plan and visitors of formalization of the current reality in the occupied

palestinian territory in which 2 people fall even side by side without equal rights such an outcome has characteristics similar to a pathway to a term we don't use lightly now the peace plan includes jerusalem as israel's undivided capital palestine is to be demilitarized and its capital is to be in the outskirts of jerusalem palestine is also to comprise of the west bank and the gaza strip and these 2 areas will be connected through roads and tunnels and $50000000000.00 of investment is to be made to palestine both the american president donald trump and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu have welcomed the deal my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace now the palestinian president mahmoud abbas was quick to slam the deal on the same day that it was announced he said that you were still in

is not for sale dear friends we heard a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu talking about what they call the deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say a 1000 times no to this proposal. so you now have a situation that 50 as european leaders as well as the official european union russia or 22 countries of the arab league are against this deal now the palestinians have been given for years to come to agree with it but it certainly seems in the long run that this is going to prove to be a fruitless if it for washington. state with all its international stick around. with us. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision a little sheltered lives every song came to

a complete. the day that i was very strong. you know told to shut up but they'd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and you graham my arm and he write me with his birth think if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the u.s. military rape is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished than the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or when. the republicans have

a reputation as knowing more about money than the democrats but the democrats are always very confusing and so bernie sanders is just out of a tradition he's talking about socialism which again is a it's a it's a model based on a compering. so bald. non existant theory about money. q. . train reaction process in the reactor a tremendous heat which scientists have learned out of control. really.

to harness the. i was so excited about nuclear engineering because i thought it would solve the world's energy crisis is exciting science to realize you've got the power of the sun inside out reactor near solar or you spiral when everything works. to refer when making energy the problem is that everything does work japan's a nuclear nightmare continues a 2nd hydrogen explosion at the fukushima daiichi nuclear complex destroyed the reactors exterior all 3 daiichi reactors have nuclear fuel rods that have been exposed to some degree so they are teetering on the edge of a meltdown. you need to sit. there. so he. can get you in. a more

serious one concerning that situation in japan i'm now joined live from vermont by all going to some now we're reporting at the moment that they're all suggestions that a partial nuclear meltdown is now under way this. this is not a nuclear chain reaction this is not a nuclear bomb this is the radiation left over after the chain reaction has started ok sort sorts of interrupt but you say this is not a nuclear bomb but would not the effects be the same as a nuclear bomb if obviously it does reach meltdown and there is an explosion. the chemicals that are going to be released are similar actually the chemicals released from other the radioactive chemicals released from a nuclear bomb disappear quicker than the radiation that is released in a nuclear power plant all we're looking at an apocalypse this is churned old ball on steroids do you think it's definitely going to happen or do you think crisis could be of a.
