Twenty first. World news from international were starting in syria this hour where the Northern City of our friends come under heavy shelling from the turkish army wraps up its operation to dislodge the kurdish fighters terrorists from the region. The bombardment came after a pro Syrian Government militia arrived in hour for him to join the fight against the Turkish Military turkeys president says the shelling forced the promise out fighters to retreat ten kilometers but other reports suggest the process and government fighters have taken up positions within our friend you currently seeing images of their arrival in the area on tuesday night our Senior Correspondent mara gusty of takes a closer look at the situation. This was a demonstration hundreds of pro Assad Militia fighters with tanks armored brazenly riding into africa with smiles cheers and cameras. The turks well see for yourself and koreas response was explosive loaded and delivered in artillery shells. Today towards evening he was determined by the haze ts militia that about ten pickup trucks were coming towards africa they were then forced to turn back following the shelling these cases being closed for now everyone warned that this would happen no one may help the white b. G. Said its for the kurds themselves hes promised to put them in a choke hold in days i need secure the preparation on the ground takes time in the coming days we were laid siege to the city of afrin here you have two major anti Isis Coalition partners terrorist and aggressor as they call each other turkey in the y. P. Ji partner in all but name juking it out beating each other. To a bloody pulp one might ask where is america the head of the us led anti Isis Coalition. Why are you still here why are these weapons still arriving america is in the process of creating a terrorist army on our border do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us we will run out of patience lets not forget how it all began with the statement a us declaration that it would build an army of kurds to patrol the Turkish Border that sent into a fit rage and it was that statement that was used to justify this new war washington backtracked its now laying low but the damage was done the coalition imploded and its up to others to stop this. We do not believe that the u. S. Will. Be a year strategy depends on creating chaos in the middle east to pursue its interests in this region it is sad washington said the fire that is now consuming its own anti Isis Coalition and burning africa into the ground the u. S. Role has been reduced to diligently expressing its concern worry but not regret well picking up on that middle east analyst Joshua Landis told us he thinks the kurds are falling victim to americas power playing in the region. The u. S. Has been supplying a lot of weaponry to the kurds east of the euphrates when the United States first entered syria and turkey and the United States came up to an agreement that everything west euphrates was turkomans everything east of the euphrates the United States men beige is a sore point but thats still to be decided on but thats the way its been and the United States thats been giving a lot of weapons to white egypt now its obviously telling a lie cheat do not attack turkey would lose weapons because the moment you do that you will justify everything in the air to war that says is going to happen that youre connected with it and so the United States is sitting on the kurds and in essence is telling them why peaches you have to sacrifice your brothers and i mean to preserve us out east of the euphrates. Meanwhile in london a flash mobs been held to show solidarity with the kurds in the african protesters fell to the ground and lay still as they were dead in protest against turkeys invasion of Northern Syria the demonstrators also made calls for the u. K. To stop selling weapons to turkey. Next we continue our look at recent discoveries from japans official archives which shed light on the grim government run Eugenics Program which thousands of people infertile over the decades that it was in force Jacqueline Vogel has their story. Records of only a fraction of the people subjected to sterilization have been revealed but this may finally help the victims to get justice after decades of suffering and some are already taking action has a hard time going through the middle school thats when i was diagnosed with a mental disability my teacher took me for a medical check and then i was taken to hospital thats when i remember at home my parents told me that i was operated on and now i cannot have babies my father disposed to sign documents by my teacher and welfare offices there are many more victims the government should make apologies and pay compensation to them its believe theyre up to twenty five thousand victims all under the eugenics protection law in force for almost forty years as late as the mid ninetys the procedures were in order to quote preserve the purity of the japanese race people with mental disabilities or hereditary diseases were targeted but misdiagnosis of such conditions was common causing even more unnecessary suffering we managed to speak to the relative of one such victim when i got married my mother in law told me that my sister has been sterilized after i made an information disclosure request i found out she was only fifteen when the ration took place genetic mental disease was the only listed reason for her sterilization however its not true when she was a one year old she became mentally handicapped because of the anesthesia is treated and doctors gave her so she didnt have a genetic condition and over sixteen thousand cases the procedure was even carried out without consent and shockingly victims were as young as nine years old appeals to admit the practice had taken place were dismissed for years with victims being told that the evidence was simply gone the only question is whos responsible for all of this to me its the governments fault thanks a key to the program as well as the National Legislature which adopted the law needs to take responsibility and make apologies a soonest possible doctors well sort of. Sponsible but in a way that we used by the government. I think that the now defunct eugenic protection law existed for the sole purpose to reject a band of disabled. When i dont press to disclosure of the documents regarding my sister surgery they told me the files were just said to have been strictly process had been thrown away the evidence of the mutilation of my sisters body was simply trashed in the case of another victim mrs zucker the documents were thrown into the fire when i heard about it i was beside myself with their anger. Hotlines have been set up to bring together victims for whats likely to be an extremely long and traumatic battle for justice but while victims one compensation they say money isnt the main reason their goal is to create awareness to ensure that horrors like this never take place again. Theres been a tense encounter the United NationsSecurity Council between the u. S. Envoy and the Palestinian LeaderMahmoud Abbas delivered a vitriolic address on tuesday aimed squarely at washington for recognizing jerusalem as the israeli capital and claiming america is not committed to the Peace Process. One of the Us Administration took an unlawful decision which was rejected by the International Community to take the issue of jerusalem off the table and to recognize the city as israels capital almost theyre doing but we are ready to begin negotiations immediately in order to achieve peace and security for all in our region and the world. And heres what happened next after finishing his speech i stood up and walked out of the meeting not waiting for the response from the u. S. Envoy nikki haley. Even though he has left the room i will dress the balance of moral marks to him. President abbas i sit here today offering the outstretched hand of the United States to the Palestinian People but i will decline the advice i was recently given by your top negotiator so i erekat i will not shut up and the galley was reacting there to comments from the palestinians chief peace negotiator he told her to be quiet and not to criticize the Palestinian Leadership reacting so that the editor of the palestine chronicle told us that he thinks america is now becoming a third wheel in the Peace Process. The u. S. Has lost its right to participate in any kind of International Mechanism that would attempt to bring peace and reconciliation between palestine and israel they have lost their right to do so when they decided to flee and biased unfair and cruel is really position the u. S. Has never been an honest broker Mahmoud Abbas trying to send a message to the Palestinian People that after decades of pursuing this frivolous and futile Peace Process and nothing has been achieved as a result his message to the Palestinian People that im still here and im still fighting and im still challenging the american diktats and American Foreign policy. To World Records were broken in the space of just fifteen minutes by russian athletes at the Winter Olympics in south korea a little earlier the first was set by figure skater medvedev up in the Women Short Program but her score was then topped minutes later by her own teammate alina get over with the details in pyongyang his. The younger russian figure skater had been hot on the heels of her older teammate for a very long time and there you have it even Gagnon Vedova could all be enjoy her world record for a few minutes because then i mean as they did even better and scored an extra point as to what it takes to set these kind of World Records both figure skaters include some of the most sophisticated elements in the sport and we see them at the end of the program all these difficult jumps when the athletes are more worn out its a higher risk but if everything goes smooth it automatically adds skyrocketing points i guess something precious for us journalists to take note of was the reaction of you gave the following her a michael performance she said it was not my best but it was ok and apparently that ok was enough for a world record while indeed we heard from experts in the sport that is either of us program was more difficult so i guess she definitely deserve it when it comes to the other competitors it seems that now they can only hope for bronze they are way too far behind so it looks like the female figure skating competition at these olympics and chang is turning into a head to head class between two russian teenage girls eighteen year old the of getting to be a duo and fifteen year old eileen as they gave them up they got one coach they are from one country but of course they only have one gold medal to compete for at piano and chang twenty thing.

Ive known alexander for many years and its been a long road for him and honest and all of that just to take it so foolishly im sure it wasnt right or. The scientist who developed mel dont even told us he doesnt think it would have knowingly used the drug given the scrutiny that russian athletes are facing right now he also indicated that a single dose would be unlikely to have an effect on an athletes performance.

Racial tensions in the u. S. Go back centuries from colonization and genocide to slavery and racial segregation the countrys troubled past continues to fuel and tag an ism between the races and people of color have a waged war on what they see as a system that favors White Supremacy but whats been happening in the us seems to have turned the tables reinforcing the conversation on socalled reverse racism for example Yale University has introduced a course in countering whiteness through plays poems and memoirs and to quote the program constructing whiteness counter narratives in any creative form and not just yale many universities in the us are making quote white awareness programs available but critics are fighting back or using that white awareness programs are just as racist as black or honest ones in another extremely divisive case some women of color felt isolated and unsafe in their communities so they organized a healing retreat and coast rica and then banned white people from attending to white people is to let us have our space let us have our room and go hang out with other white people will cain you know youve done enough damage well of course screams of hypocrisy and reverse racism ensued and then theres this picture depicting black women beheading white women the artist explained its a quote unquote sort of a play on the kill whitey thing critics are outraged alleging well you guessed it first racism they say imagine what would happen if a white person was shown chopping off a black womans head however when it comes to all of these claims reverse racism may not exactly stand up to scrutiny when looking at the history of the countrys racial dynamics but whether or not these cases qualify as hypocrisy or reverse racism the question remains will any of this actually qual racial tensions in the us or will this soley result in further polarization.

Just took. Cover. And that is your news for now if you download the r. T. Apps to your smart device then you can get breaking news in those twenty four sevenths next update from me here in moscow in thirty five minutes. What politicians do Something Big to. Put themselves on the lawn and they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury or some want to preserve. Its a right to be for us this is what the forecast for you in the morning cant be good that im interested always in the waters of our. Festive. There were going underground fifty three years to the day of the assassination of anti imperialist human rights activist malcolm x. Coming up in the show as us actors resign dawson and Sarah Silverman joining Jeremy Corbyn alice walker and angela davis in calling for israel to release palestinian teenager i had tell me we speak to professor Norman Finkelstein about the collusion of human rights organizations as more planes from israel on by britain again bomb gaza from the headlines the bank that likes to leave its clients hanging and i spy colbert in westminster but did he spied for a country in the eastern block check it out all the support coming up in todays going underground but first not even elite Mainstream Media paid much attention to israels Prime Minister in the past few days he brandished a bit of alleged iranian drone at the Munich Security Conference attended by u. K. Minority government be to theresa may and Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov so given we have yet to interview anyone from the Israeli Government or the Israeli Embassy in london on this show has been even netanyahu. Heres a piece of a very very rope. Or whats left after we shot it there. Are a lot of years you can see for so some commentators expressed doubt about politicians bringing props for their speeches arac declared eighty five hundred liters of anthrax but aside from Colin Powells un Security Council justifications for mass killing in iraq it was iranians foreign minister speaking in munich who is keen for the world to note that netanyahu is participations about iran tricky. Time for him Israeli Police are recommending that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu be indicted on two Corruption Cases the recommendations follow a months long investigation into allegations of bribery well in the latest book by our next guest israeli Prime Minister netanyahu who denies all allegations comes under fire for more than just bribery joining me now i mean its yet more bombing of palestine by the british and Israeli Government is president obama finkelstein his latest book is called gaza an inquest into its martyrdom thanks so much over the coming back on the show israel back militarily by the u. K. Is again bombing gaza a sad time in this for the book when i wrote the book i didnt expect that it would be timely i wrote it as a historic document because palestine and gaza in particular were falling off the news much to my surprise because the situation in gaza has reached the breaking point since two thousand and twelve the u. N. Reports have been saying it typically right will gaza be livable in twenty twenty then the next reports i think its going to be sooner than twenty twenty and now in the past month not just u. N. Reports but israel has been saying gaza is on the brink of collapse reaching the point of no return and so theres a lot of desperation israelis fear that diseases break out so theyre going to spread to israel and so were. Turning point a crisis point not sure what you want to call it to be essential fact is this. Seventy percent of the people of gaza are refugees more than half are children theyre trapped. Theres no way out and the u. N. Reports and even israel is saying the situation there is livable now you use your own semantical imagination how would you describe a situation where people are caved into conditions which are literally on livable what word would you use im not going to use that word use your own imagination and thats the United Nations relief and works agency put it it said gaza is unique in the world in this one regard wherever there is a natural catastrophe say there is drought. Or a human made catastrophe say war in syria the people always have the option to flee theres always the option to flee gaza is the one case the one instance in the world today where there are verging on an on livable situation thats not poetry thats a physical biological fact livable ninety five percent of the water in gaza is unfit for human consumption each day when a child drinks water the child is poisoning him or herself but they cant leave their caged in as your former Prime Minister put it god is an open air prison lets just skip through because i know you go through the day doctrine which is to do with lebanon and then explain who goldstone judge goldstone is and how initially he caused sadness than an uplifting feeling amongst those who support the palestinians and then ultimately a tragic ending was an important moment and i hope youll allow me to give you the time to explain under International Law war crimes consist of three things disproportionate attacks indiscriminate attacks and targeting of civilians
