In the course of last year we have seen the chinese is also engaged in this Information Campaign against various government institutions to create distrust in the government and to create a distrust in the Democratic Institutions is working. We worry because deeply entrenched. Theres no doubt that is why gene and intense hearts and minds can hide where according to the taiwanese weapons a fight and lots of mine land cash especially in the context i want to call is a former canadian Intelligence Officer who says. Down of the shadows this is analogous high priced security and its a huge intellectual challenge to you know its a try to connect the dots and make sense of whats going on. This information is certainly an area where the chinese are been very you know content farms or content mails that employee individuals who generate dissent from a show and then that and this information gets recycled by traditional media and by ones that are seen to be pro beijing and that and there is a blood stream in darwins media environment and can favor certain politicians in elections for example or. Create confusion about the current leadership in taiwan the state of the economy a workability of democracy notions of inevitability when it comes to unification futility of resisting beijing and of a big mass media outlet if the popular media not so yes theres a there is one major group that controls Television Print magazines. Whose owner has been making a fortune and trying though i know it has been revealed that the Chinese Government has been funding one of the related Companies Order of hundreds of millions of american dollars over the past decade or so i want to name them because they have threatened to sue people who said that their beijing mouthpiece was. But a recent u. K. Financial times investigation has 9 them the Want Want Group own is of the influential china times and the c. G. I. T. V. Channel. Journalists working at the probably beijing outlets reportedly told the Financial Times it is tight old is directly from the Chinese Government the want one group denies the allegations. Not everyone is so firing about chinas influence these local. Communists actively welcome and. Its a big day out for a long day no range elements of taiwanese politics her goal for her. During the decades of. Such overt displays of support for the peoples republic would have ended even gyal old worse now theyre emboldened by by genes increasingly masculine nationalism. Like. Taiwan.

Ridicule symbolism you see every way you know. Tonight she still cries homage to its founding father Chiang Kai Shek who fought the communists for decades. But the days of his hard line in taiwan a long gone. Now beijing has to contend with the unpredictability of taiwanese democracy and the freedom to protest like this tribute to the unknown tank man from 999 the bloody tianna main square crackdown by james rush from chinas official history its a mark of mine and tourists to tell me. They think it. Would go there if you were not muslims are you the judge is how theyre going to let. You go so you only go by to make. A good theyve got to in the end the day got someone telling you.

Military tensions are escalating but theres a big campaign being waged on the economic front. So i know thats a little. Bit out. China taiwan tried was a staggering 150000000000. 00 u. S. 1. 01 Taiwanese Company employs more than a 1000000 workers in mine land factories making mobile phones put simply it would cost both sides a lot by jing ever went down the conflict route military drills and a right sirens can bring cities heat to a halt but for most people that threat of war with china just doesnt. Same like a priority its the hip pocket issues people talk about the economy but there is another part of taiwan where people can literally see the power of china rising in front of them and to them the consequences of a conflict would be very real and immediate. This is the view from the taiwanese islands of kinman. Rising up on the mainland the chinese see the. Its here that the nationalist of Chiang Kai Shek halted the match of mouse communists repelling an invasion in 1949. But the communist threat loomed large the decades the people and soldiers here quite literally die again. Drifting out from propaganda speak is pointed at the mine and the soundtrack of. The soothing melodies of taiwans most beloved pop star intended to seduce and annoy the the mine landers. These days the volumes dial down. Has replaced hostility and these obsolete fortifications have been soaring tourism from the night. Its a little bit high easy to die but thats china just 5 kilometers away the city of salmon millions of people chinas influence he is growing really just build a pipeline to pump fresh water from the mainland to kim and now the government in beijing is offering to build a bridge linking the town taiwans government not surprisingly has said. As relations told in 2001 a local special status deal was struck allowing citizens from both sides to cross here easily to the land day trippers come over to stock up on duty free booze and cosmetics although now moving to cotyledon a result of an economic squeeze by the government.

Financial ruin to live on a constant dollar no real let up in the situation and yet you start. Filing to dislodge the taiwanese the communists then shelled kinman every 2nd for 20 years. With taiwan returning fire on alternate days. No one seriously believes human could hold out against the might of the peoples republic of chinas economic might and the islands proximity to the mine land mines by aging has in one sense already provided here. Long ling and many other young locals now feel the hop logic of real politic that theyre on home is ultimately expendable a political bargaining chip the taiwan might one day tried in return for pace with china.

They dont believe the 2 state solution the do you still believe in the 2 state solution we listen what i said was that pakistan would never start a war im antiwar we meet with global news makers about the story. As the matter on the down to 0. This is aljazeera. Hello welcome to the aljazeera news are we sell rahman from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes following donald trump abrupt troop withdrawal from Northern Syria the u. S. Is to send more military assets to protect oil fields. Also lebanese protestors shrug off the president s offer to have talks that he says are aimed at saving the country from collapse and the u. N. Will send a mission to chill a to investigate allegations of Human Rights Violations jury Anti Government demonstrations and a vigil for 39 people found dead in a truck near london all of the victims are from china. Welcome to the news hour theres been another significant shift in the United States military position in syria its now planning to beef up its presence in the countrys northeast to protect oil fields from falling into the hands of i still fighters that are still scattered throughout the region now its the clearest sign yet that the u. S. Has not only ended plans to withdraw from syria but that it may add some new capabilities to strengthen those American Forces that remain u. S. President donald trump has been striving to fulfill his promise to leave syria completely saying its not americas fight or kristen slim is our correspondent following this moving story for us from washington d. C. And kristen really contradictory messages about troop deployments in and around syria. Yeah absolutely president justified his removal of u. S. Forces from syria by saying that he wanted to bring the troops home as you said this was allowing a turkish offensive to take place at the cost of abandoning the kurds who had been the United States strongest ally in the region helping them defeat eisel in the region but he faced an immediate backlash as soon as he did that and not only from democrats who are always been quick to criticize him but from some of his staunchest allies in the Republican Party people like senator Lindsey Graham who has stood by him through hearings and investigations and so on me saying that this was just unacceptable there was a lot of fear about the resurgence of eisel from republicans concerned about the message that it would send to allies and then that is the resurgence of russian influence of the region all of this had become talking points in recent days so now while the plan has not been formally announced or discussed details are leaking out that involve sending tanks to Eastern Syria to protect or oil fields to make sure that they dont fall into the hands of i saw and. Or other possible actors in the region of course as you touched upon politicians as well as maybe even the public too will be very angered illinois by these mixed messages in the sense that President Trump said to his domestic audience that he wanted to withdraw troops from the conflict areas he will do to bring them home or that a fight in syria was always a bad idea to start with. Yes and its not that theres a reported to be about a 1000 troops in the area and now it looks like very few of them have actually left the region or will be able to leave the region anytime soon remember that the president has been under scrutiny and man scrutiny recently because of impeachment proceedings that are taking place so its very important for him right now to try to keep his republican allies in line and around him hes been able to do that because he is actually immensely popular with his Republican Base while hes very controversial and divisive and this action brought a new and unprecedented round of criticism. Towards him he does have that strong base so hes trying to walk a back re solidify his allies in the Republican Party as this impeachment proceeding is taking place he even tweeted today that he had talked with the kurdish commander and the kurdish commander had it expressed his appreciation for the president and the president expressed his appreciation for the kurds as well as if to say look everythings fine here its all good nothing to see but this will definitely continue to haunt him the contradictions of what hes said and done and if there is any god forbid attack from a group like eisel or any signs of a resurgence then he will be held to account for that theres no doubt indeed to schools this news breaking late hold the evening where you are in the u. S. Will be interesting to see whats the fallout of his old friday for the day but kristen thank you. Well russia is sending more military police and heavy equipment to patrol paul solve that turkey syria border as part of its agreement with the turkish government now under the deal Kurdish Forces are also pulling back from the frontier but as they do so the bloodshed hasnt completely stopped a report from the turkish syrian border. Its the 3rd explosion in less than 24 hours in Northern Syria an early morning. Shows the dangerous the district is now under the control of Turkish Backed by does who took it from goodish forces its part of the 30 kilometer safe zone which turkey wants to establish on the border it shares with syria the Syrian National army a group of fighters backed by turkey say there would have been more casualties if the blast had happened during rush hour so. The car exploded and we had a lot of. Them to the Hospital Area here is for civilians there are shops here and are working very. Dirty says its defused hundreds of homemade bombs and mines in the areas of cleared and its military denies allegations by kurdish fighters of advancing in 3 villages outside the ceasefire zone Kurdish Forces have asked western allies including the u. S. To stop what they called the ceasefire violations in a change in the kurds military commander has thanked for the russian and u. S. President s and assured them of support despite the fact that the 2 governments are on opposing sides of the syrian conflict. And as u. S. Senators reiterated their support for the kurdish commander the turkish president has warned against what he called sitting down with terrorists. Who are also criticize nato allies for not standing with him against a group the alliance itself recognizes as a terrorist organization sharing your story learning is currently in the Syrian National army a coming every inch of the control and clearing traps but if they come across any terrorists in. Syria it is our natural right to crush them it is so in right or. Under the deal reached between russia and turkey Russian Troops have been patrolling more areas in the northeast moscow is sending hundreds of more troops to police the New Territory its taken on behalf of the Assad GovernmentRussias Defense Ministry says it will be establishing 15 security posts along the border which will be run by Syrian Government forces as the clock ticks down on the 60 hiatus between turkey and russia what countries have warned kurdish fighters to be drawn within 30 kilometers inside syrian territory moscow says the big draw has already begun and as battle lines become drawn and redrawn millions of syrians hold their breath as arabs and kurds they are waiting for peace to come to the various so they can return home some of the other there are a chocolate on the turkey syria border. You heard the turkish president s warning the u. S. About its relationship with a kurdish commander criticizing washington for treating him like a legitimate political figure theres widespread Political Support in the u. S. For general was doing kabbani to visit and discuss the situation in syria but turkey sees him as the head of a terrorist organization and a fugitive reza diaper the one says he would seek the generals extradition. Now at levels the president has offered to meet protestors to help save the country from collapse after more than a week of massive antigovernment protests weve also suggested a reshuffle was possible but added that the government should not be toppled from the streets as in a hotel reports on how people responded in beirut day 8 in the almost paralysis of daily life continues protesters are still on the streets of the lebanese capital beirut and other cities across the country the country is at this standstill as the protest movement enters its 2nd week schools universities and banks remain closed they are keeping up the pressure on the government to resign the president michel aoun who the protesters also want removed from office addressed the nation for the 1st time since the crisis began he presented his solution by promising to fight corruption and invited the protesters to engage in dialogue. With the regime cannot be toppled from the streets the regime must be changed through conditional tools now we have economic models to bring jobs we also have concerns about the economy i am willing to listen to your demands i am waiting for you his invitation was swiftly rejected Civil Society activists say that people have heard promises like these before the president s speech that not promises that he will address corruption and try to return some of the stolen money but thats just promises that there is no confidence. With the people that they will actually that the governor will follow through and recover the stolen money they say they want radical change they want new faces in power who are not affiliated with the governing parties and theyre promising to keep lebanon on lockdown until that happens blocking the roads is very essential because we have to keep the country as paralyzed this possible of course everything related to food water transport the main the people who cant afford maybe. Wheat to eat drink the governing Coalition Says the protest is only worsening the economic crisis theyre also accusing opposition politicians of riding the wave of popular anger to push their own political agenda the governing coalition is refusing to resign ignoring calls for early elections their messages change can only happen at the ballot box. Point to time both sides are not budging the stalemate is dangerous in a deeply divided society. So far the army has taken a side it hasnt used Excessive Force to open roads it hasnt squares it has kept the antigovernment demonstrators loyalists apart there have been counter protest by supporters of Political Parties in power so far theyve been spontaneous and limited in numbers that can change.
