About your sudden passing ive only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. Youre at right up to you as we all knew it would i tell you im sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. I remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. But then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some are fond of you those that didnt like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not need. Not the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with this. Speech and we know where to. Find that Mainstream Media has met its maker. Welcome back as Mainstream Media in britain speculates on bricks and negotiations with little evidence it continues just support historic u. K. Policy on syria the defacto backing of isis and alqaeda linked groups responsible for persecuting christians at this weeks pm cusick made it all the order when minority u. K. Government leader tourism may claim to be supporting the christians of syria so protected by president assad before britain de facto ended the war in places like. I was pleased a matter of weeks ago to meet father daniel from nineveh and italy who talked about the very real persecution that his. Congregation that suffered the worst suffering and had suffered in the past and he presented me with a bible which was burnt which was had been rescued when a church had actually been set on fire no one thought to ask where the british taxpayer money of the kind even the state mandated b. B. C. Is uncovered going to alqaeda linked militants set church on fire but while there is money for is the missed weaponry one labor m. P. Presented her with a solomon type dilemma on future local council cuts created by her collective economic punishment here at home which are the following things with the Prime Minister recommend they cut the next cancer i know the person with dementia and saying that means providing school meals unfundable children libraries leisure centers. Supporting the twenty four percent of children living in poverty. Oh choice Prime Minister may batted her away hybrid but the honorable lady should be welcoming the improvements that have taken place in her constituency and when it comes to law and order in an age of austerity the leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn gave her the latest figures this is speaker recorded crime is up by one fifth since two thousand and ten Violent Crime up by twenty percent and during the period the Prime Minister was home secretary two point three billion was cut from Police Budgets her majestys inspectorate of can start everyones neighborhood policing risks being eroded and the shortage of detectives is at a National Crisis the Prime Minister think the inspectorate to scare mongering but to raise a many had alternative facts crime is now down at record. That is more than just bush be achieved and its been achieved by a conservative government that at the same time has been protecting Police Budgets who do believe well one activist and lifelong supporter of science and the arts legendary queen guitarist and astrophysicist dr brian may is campaigned against alleged corruption in Britains Parliament we went to londons Royal Society to discuss why he believes britains class system is inherently damaging to progress brian may were in the or suspicious Royal Society in london how beautiful it is that how steeped in tradition i think israeli and dog to go to israel you know the storm was first of all old friend of the program and this band he had some influence over your astrophysics work as you know his home court well yeah i mean we go back a long way character me and ive helped him put the style most together but he definitely helped me get my ph d. Done thirty years later its a long story you know i was a layman but i study a coal dust as they like it. Is basically dust which is going around the sun as are the planets you can regard them as small. Planets these grains of dust if you like so my mission was to find out. Where these grains of dust are going there are they will be seeing the same direction as the planets or directions it has a great bearing on how the solar system was formed how the sun came into being and how life was formed on earth its all linked in together you know the more information you can get about this the more we understand what we are and where we came from donald trump. Is going to send people to mars as far as we know thats his plan hes going to try yeah what was your reaction to him saying according to leak draft budget that the administration will end Financial Support for the International Space station well thats politicians for years and you know theyre saying one thing over here and another thing over here yeah i think everybody in our circles doubted that the funding was going to be put in you know the money is going to go where the mouth is trump is trumping over politics is politics and people say things for expediency and they say things to to get a reaction so i dont think theres a great belief is there there that this is going to happen in the near future how important is pure science funding some nobel Prize Winners told us will end up on mars and know which experiments to perform because the people that was originally my wife would say why do we do this at all you know there are people starving on this planet how can you possibly justify any of this you know i personally think that pure science and pure art of the highest things to which humans can aspire and its good to be doing this but theres a balance to be had i think and i was the first person to say at the first star mous that if were going to continue going into space as a species we should clean up our own planet first you know i think weve made such a mess of the planet. The floor and the foreigners you know and we have treated our fellow creatures so poorly badly that needs to be sorted and i was thrilled that Neil Armstrong in his speech referred to that and said yes we need to make this an era of being more human than we have before so that to me thats important you know its not just about knowledge. Its about being human beings and one of the themes of the stormers festival next time is on fake news how Scientific Collaboration may foster. Combating socalled fake news its a very big subject i dont think its been approached properly and were hoping it will be as part of this festival yeah because the truth is so hard to find i guess its easier to lie on a big scale now than it ever was in the past you can drop a little fact here instantly going around the world and treat it as news when it finds its fake and. You know the this host of Conspiracy Theory of people didnt actually go to the moon is a great example people have dropped these very stupid actually and very false assertions out there but people take them go is true its true they never went in. It bothers me im not saying you know how do you find the truth how do we do this in the future i think is a really interesting discussion and very urgent discussion and you said that one of the major issues facing humanity is fake news from world trade yes what they want to exist is full of people there for the wrong reasons thats myself i spent a lot of time lobbying in our own parliament in england and i have to say so many people are there for reasons that you dont want to know. And its hard to find people who actually have a mission to make the world a better place and look after. People and animals rather than look after themselves i mean i hate to be critical but i do think the whole system encourages the wrong kind of people because encourage people who want power and and make money for their themselves and their friends you know i would love to see it all shaken up i wish it were using off to your involvement in the common decency project as well that would be encouraging you to be more encouraged what is the common Drug Companies what it is about exactly that its about not voting for a Political Party but for voting for people who are actually decent terms like a simple thing to do is actually not that simple because you have to ascertain what you mean by decency and i would like to see a parliament in the future which is based on empathy and actual quality of life rather than economics and money and power but of course lobbying costs money youre fighting big money yes you are but you dont necessarily have to fight money with money you can find money with them with art if you like that is what we try to do and the truth you know we have the truth on our side and we see the government says that we must spend more money bailing out banks and so for the known Science Research you know see the importance to fund city london its a very big question you know im not sure that we should we should have been bailing out the banks in the way we should or least we should have got more return the tax base we got more return for what was done. Really rejuvenating the common decency project if theres no Ministry Official action we would be common decency and again yes we will and well be supporting all our friends in parliament who have proved to you know have come through for us in supporting the the quest for decency if you like and how far weve come as a Society Britain particularly in bridging this traditional science arts divide and its something youre very keen on bridging yeah its a process i think its happening and i see it everywhere certainly my. My generation was taught you cant be an artist and a scientist at the same time and i resented that i found it kind of damaging because i wanted to be a computer complete human being i was passionate about science i was passionate about music and in the Natural World as well so i wanted everything and i was told no you cant do that you know if you can be a scientist called to music and so now you dont see that anymore you know where you little bit but i think its changing and if i look at matt taylor whos the biggest heavy metal free comic i know probably the most informed about heavy metal is covered in tattoos and hes the guy of the Amazing Mission that went to rosetta the rose it is comet. So i go to his head he was roses and he went you know and and these people you know im so fortunate because i got my ph d. Eventually and became a kind of legitimate scientist again if you like im able to mix with people like that and i feel very privileged to be accepted into the community and i was for instance with alan stern when they got their data back as they were doing the fly by pluto and i hope to be with them again when they do the fly by of the next objects which theyre wrong the feeling with which the cape. Kuyper belt object very exciting no ones ever done that before of course some people watching i should add may think there isnt a lot of close here to have someone from a poor background Socio Economic background they wait feel how can i get involved in Science Research and these sorts of thing well i came from a poor background only my mum was putting coins in different jars for the gas meter in the election you know you dont its not about money its about having conviction and i guess it takes a bit of belief in yourself which takes on to build but i think its about commitment no i dont think its about money i mean a lot of things are in britain and i im a real enemy of privilege you know i dont think thats a positive thing in pretty society and i think when the beatles came along everybody thought thats all swept out of how old wilson i think didnt happen it was in the mine but it was in reality and the class system is there loud and proud in britain at the moment and i think needs to be dismantled really to i wouldnt be about money and you know opportunities are still about money in many ways if you think that contradicts what i said about science i dont think it does because i think if you believe you have something to offer eventually youll get there i should also congratulate you on the on the queen grammy arguably arguably asteroids colliding with the earth as being more a story and when. Stream media as regards astronomy is no sign of the asteroid five two six six five in the bryan way or seven zero four nine three freddy were going to hit the end there then and then theyre not going to hit us but theyre in the Asteroid Belt so none of them in normal circumstances come anywhere near the our own planets i thought you can say theres no sign of the in the grammys on or in our music already films that are always well that know they know they never did before but theyve given us a Lifetime Achievement which is very nice thank you very much dr brian may thank you very much. After a physicist and rock guitar legend dr brian may thats speaking to me at londons Royal Society and thats it for the show but well be back on monday to speak to the director of a raise and forget profiling depending on who you believe a mass serial killer or an American Hero in Central America special fourth a veteran boat brits in the cinema you know him as you know thats just alone in the rambo film still and hes been called back with us by social media well see on monday sixteen years to the day the trial of Slobodan Milosevic began in the hague while u. K. Media compared him to hitler his country was sanctioned torn apart and thousands were killed by Nato International criminal court would exonerate him and also mention deciding that was not enough evidence to convict him of the ethnic cleansing claims by nato nation media and politicians. Despite its time given the history of the soviet union has dominated International Sport however this is not about the use of those champions from the. Right on the children number one. More move there would have been gordon. You have a new theory brother this guy is for the ordinary group of workers she was the First Computers after your you were the first some of your limpy team of thousand nine hundred fifty two with some good seeds of ifas concentration camp prisoners and frontline soldiers for which there may be in this good there is corruption because you know much do most of the ship because your first move but youre in for been one for through for when to get out of this with you if you think that the area were going to go with. The variations youll push through for through personal. Enthusiasm you do when youre at the National Borders and could be putting your work through waivers here and there would be a rise in token we.

Fears of people been saying about rejected in the us a full blown author the only show i go out of my way to fox you know what its really packed. Yeah its the john oliver of hard. The americans do the same we are apparently better than the blue. Sea people youve never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank so hate was right and he seriously sent us an email. I. Took his president says one of the countrys military helicopters has been downed in syrias northern border where im chris carrying out a military operation against kurdish militias it considers terrorists. Meanwhile in southern syria israel strikes twelve targets softer damascus downs an idea fighter jets calling it a response to israeli aggression. In the south korean president is that hes ready to accept an invitation from kim jong un to visit north korea and the latest sign of Foreign Relations between the two countries. Hundreds of anti fascist activists are demonstrating in a city after a racially motivated shooting as the far right is increasingly gaining popularity against ahead of next months general election we speak to the right wing leader north party. Weve been. In the next election and the people use it to vote and this is the only we are. A warm welcome youre watching r. T. International with me mickey aaron good to have you with us this hour. A Turkish Military helicopter has crashed near syrias northern border where turkey is carrying out an operation against kurdish militias considered terrorists by ankara at least two people were killed in the incident the turkish president vowed to the perpetrators will pay the consequences. A helicopter has just been downed of course all this will happen we are at war theyll be casualties on both sides yesterday we destroyed their missile depos surely will make them pay a heavy price. Im now joined by artist and hawkins in the studio with more details on this thanks for coming in daniel what do we know so far about the situation well details are still coming in nic you what we do know is that the helicopter came down according to the kurdish fighters near the village of color that in syria is afrin district and north of the country according to the turkish side according to the president that helicopter was shot down in her thai province thats a Southern Province in turkey was borders after and to the west of that region now we know that two turkish soldiers were killed in that incident we dont yet know the type of the helicopter but according to the Prime Minister been alejandra the cause of the crash is unclear we dont know if it was a technical malfunction weather conditions or actually brought down so still unclear as of yet what we do know is that this incident certainly wont help the calm situation in the region we also know that its the third aircraft to come down in the region in the last ten days the first one was the russian su twenty five shot down over by rebels the other one the israeli f. Sixteen by syrian antiaircraft fire and now this helicopter as well proving that groups in the area do have the weaponry to hit targets and bring them down at a distance and so a lot of people are wondering why turkey was on syrian territory in the first place well exactly the turkish general staff said they hit nineteen targets in the region that included shelters i mean mission gun positions belonging to terrorists. Or the turkish government often used to describe kurdish militias in the area now its been three weeks since operation all of branch was launched on january twentieth the Turkish Military operation to clear the border region of terrorists as theyre described by or they want to bring the syrian land back to Syrian People who were recently stated that once our friend is liberated the turkish army will go further take a listen. You know you know were going to continue the Olive Branch Operation until we achieve our goals and then as promised we would clear man beach of terrorists after that we will continue our struggle up to the iraqi border until no terrorists are left the Turkish Forces are a long way from reaching into lib or any areas of true deep inside syrian territory but what this does mean is that Turkish Forces in the long run could get bogged down in a quagmire against armed groups which ironically have been supplied by the United States so whats the threat that we could see things escalate further theres definitely a risk of escalation u. S. Forces are present in Northern Syria in kurdish territory where theyve been involved in those train assist the Quick Missions helping kurdish fighters against Islamic State now and said man bridge is a city that could be next where this could bring the Turkish Forces into direct conflict with those of the United States take a listen to how much this worries the americans we would call on certainly on the turks to not take any actions of that sort dont want them to engage in violence but we want them to keep focused on isis. Now turkey and the United States of course and nato allies they have been for decades but in this particular conflict they support sides which are diametrically opposed and certainly when the fight against isis may well be over that conflict those tensions in Northern Syria are unfortunately only at the very beginning of what could be a long and difficult drawn out process ok thank you for those details last time hawkings. We can now discuss this further with our guest ali risk middle east expert and contributor with monitor welcome to the program its good to have you why do you think the reports on the cause of the crash are so conflicting from being sucked down to even the possibility of a technical malfunction. Well my. My own presumption or what i believe to be the greater possibility is that indeed it was shot down and i dont think its very likely that it was a result of a malfunction but i think that the turkish officials have an interest i believe to try and. Try and underestimate or try to speak as little as possible about any turkish losses in our free will and the reason being that the operation are free and doesnt appear to be going all that world for the turks they have sustained quite. A lot of losses since it began they havent been able to make very much progress as well into into our free in so as i said the operation hasnt been going very well and now with this latest incident regarding the helicopter i dont think its in turkish interest to disclose exactly what happened even if it was shot down an important point i would like to mention is the fact that this might very be likely you know if this scenario was indeed the kurds shot down this plane as i presume it probably was the case we might be. Seeing a correlation between the Syrian Government and the kurds the kurds enough really in particularly arcanists are considered to be more close to the Syrian Government compared to the other kurds for example present in membership so that would allow for possible coordination between the Syrian Government and these Kurdish Forces in africa and we did hear that the Syrian Government allowed just a core supply line to be open to help the kurds in our frame so i think if we turn you know if we take all of these facts into consideration it might indeed be that the kurds succeeded in carrying out this operation with Logistical Support from the Syrian Government some and some of its allies either way do you think the possibility that this incident could be used by ankara as an excuse or reason for further escalation in Northern Syria. I think that the turks the turkish president of russia. Already intends to escalate so i dont think that this particular incident will be used as a kind of justification as we heard in his remarks you know he intends to go on to members and then go on elsewhere reaching up to the iraqi border but i think he will face some very very huge monumental challenges because even in our three in as i said the turks are encountering such difficulty. Will be a different story that could threaten a potential showdown with the u. S. Ally and i dont think turkey is ready for that so i think that the turks are in a somewhat difficult position but order has climbed this ladder of escalation and i think the problem he faces is who can bring him down allow him to withdraw at the same time saving face its quite a big predicament i think which he faces as a western middle east expert and contributor with our money. Thank you for your time. But things seem to be heating up in the skies over the region syrian air defenses have responded to new israeli raids near the capital damascus the Israeli Military confirmed its attacks twelve targets in syria including both syrian and iranian facilities israel says the raid was in retaliation for its fighter jet being downed by the Syrian Military jet crashed in northern israel with the pilots managing to object however damascus says that its their defenses hit the plane in response to a previous attack by Israeli Forces and the perspectives in syria and israel in a situation different in certain respects because morning the syrian army command and confirming.
