Welcome to this things like news update from r. T. Edge to moscow with me we just turned three in the afternoon here now and syria very much in the headlines today let me take you through it the northern syrian city of first has come under heavy shelling from the turkish army as ankara ramps up its operation there to try to dislodge the kurdish fighters whom it sees as terrorists. Last. Night about. This latest bombardment came after a pro Syrian Government militia arrived enough to join the fight against the Turkish Military turkeys president there were and says the shelling forced the group of fighters to retreat some ten kilometers but there are other reports circulating to suggest in the process and Government Forces have actually taken up positions know enough when. I was seeing here images a very arrival in the area and choose day night next our Senior Correspondent laura goes to takes a closer look at whats really going on there. But this was a demonstration hundreds of pro Assad Militia fighters with tanks armored brazenly riding into africa with smiles cheers and cameras. That. 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 and now everyone warned that this would happen no one may help the why p. G. Said as for the kurds themselves hes promised to put them in a choke hold in mere days i need 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 terrorists. And aggressor as they call each other turkey in the y. P. Jeep partner in all but name duking it out beating each other to bloody pulp one might ask where is america the head of the u. S. 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 of 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 us and. The u. S. Strategy depends on creating chaos in the middle east to pursue its interests in this region it is sad washington set the fire that is now consuming its own anti Isis Coalition and burning africa into the ground the us role has been reduced to diligently expressing its concern worry but not regret a Senior Correspondent regards the of middle east sure landis told us he thinks the kurds have fallen victim to americas power play in the region to. The u. S. Has been supplying a lot of weaponry to the kurds east of the euphrates when the United States first entered syria if it church in the United States came up to an agreement that everything west your priest was turkomans everything east of the euphrates the United States many beers 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 the white egypt now its obviously telling a white sheet do not attack turkey with those weapons because the moment you do that you will justify everything in the air war that says its going to happen that youre connected with it and so the United States is sitting on the kurds in essence is telling them why peaches you have to sacrifice your brothers and i mean to preserve us out east of the euphrates meantime spike in violence in the east and guta area still in syria close to the capital damascus has provoked an outcry from the United Nations organizations calling for a says ation of hostilities following reports the government airstrikes on of the rebel own play have killed at least one hundred people in recent days he said good as one of the few remaining Opposition Strongholds huge flash point there right now again the Syrian Government says its a raid against the militants there are in retaliation for shelling attacks of the killed civilians in the capital the area was among you may recall the deescalation zones that were established by the warring parties last year. Are the news today were going to continue our look at recent discoveries from japans official archives which shed some light on the grim government run Eugenics Program which left thousands of people infertile over the decades it was in force jacqueline bukas got 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 all i remember at the time my parents told me that i was operated on and now i cannot have babies my father the spot for still signed documents by my teacher and welfare offices there are many more victims the government should make apologies and pay compensation to them its believe there are 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 that gratian to place genetic mental disease was the only listed reason for her sterilization however as its not true when she was a one year old she became mentally handicapped because of the anesthesia three different 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 a pill 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 akita the program as well as the National Legislature which a doctor the law needs to take responsibility and make apologies a soonest possible doctors will service. Sponsible but in a way that we use 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 quested the 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 big to mrs zucker the documents were thrown into the fire when i heard about it i was beside myself with 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 at the United NationsSecurity Council between the u. S. Envoy and the Palestinian Leader were going to tell you about that next much needed a bass to live in 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. Us of ministration 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 gradually but then we were ready to begin negotiations immediately in order to achieve peace and security for all in our region and the world. Although maybe to reinforce is point he did this after finishing a speech about stood up and probably walked out of that meeting not waiting for a response from the u. S. Envoy. Led to even though he has left the room i will dress the balance of the narrow marks to hand. The president last i said 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 save erekat i will not shut up or more of that nikki haley was reacting there to comments from the palestinians chief peace negotiator he told her to be quiet and not criticize the Palestinian Leadership the editor of the palestinian chronicle told us he thinks america is now becoming a third wheel indeed in the Peace Process. So u. S. Has lost its right to participate in any kind of International Mechanism that would attempt to bring peace and reconciliation between at this time 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 fruitless 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. A lot of these coming out from the olympics there is south korea lets start with the good news first of all two World Records broken in the space of just fifteen minutes by russia plates at the Winter Olympics earlier the first was set by figure skater made in the Womens Short Program scores then taught by a teammate alina a get of the details from playing chang about that put trunk. 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 the 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 smoothly 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 and michael a 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 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 for young chang is turning into a had i had class between two russian teenage girls eighteen year old give getting me 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 chang twenty thing you are trying to reporting that now of the developments of the games the russian olympic curlers tested positive for a banned substances insisted that he would never have taken it intentionally on choose day Russian Sports officials confirmed that both of our legs on the crucial need. The samples contained traces of mel dony and a lot of people thinking its a mystery what the report detected suggests that only one dose of being consumed via the drug is believed to improve recovery times after intense exercise has been banned of course as twenty sixteen all of crucial need skis previous tests had come back negative the last sample was taken at the end of january last week the athlete won bronze in the mixed doubles curling alongside his wife the first ever medal for a russian in the discipline but now its possible course theyll be disqualified the president of the countrys Curling Federation and thinks crucial netsky may have been spiked here brought by most of what them just be truth is that alexander didnt intentionally take the banned substance weve asked investigators to find out how he could have ended up in his body without his knowing to put it bluntly he could have been spiked the experts concluded that it was a single dose taken in the past several weeks or even days now who in his right mind would take a bun substance knowing that hes one of the Top Competitors facing increased gruesomely ive known alexander for many years and its been a long road for him and honest and all of that just to take his habit so foolishly im sure it wasnt right or you hear so many people say it just doesnt make sense we spoke to the scientists to develop will deliver to get his thoughts he told us a single dose would be unlikely to have an effect on the athletes performance anyway.

Being charged today for expressing his views all coolly. Next on the menu something new on the curriculum americas world renowned Yale University is launching a new Study Program aimed it deconstructing what it means to be white in modern day society the module looks at how the issue of race permeates almost every aspect of cultural and Economic Life in the states but not everyones happy about this new course in severe cancer in finding out. 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 its not just yale many universities in the u. S. 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 broke a 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 reverse 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 u. S. Or will this only result in further polarization. Samir khan arties washington d. C. Well either which way social commentator and city brian logan believes there are double standards of play in us society. If it was a white Woman Holding a black woman say after a painter way the painter would be called everything hed be caught in the old nazi by supremacist because the default reaction to anybody white doing something against somebody black or even painting a picture is to say that white person is a racist because the default thought process is that why people are racist anyway and theres some say that if youre not white you can not be races which is really ridiculous theres been a lot of things floating around about White Supremacy as of late there these things become normalized is seen as a rational thing to say yo in public so people again they get to feel guilty and when i tell everybody hey im not a racist look at me im fighting the gays the white man im fighting to get by supremacies you get some white people they say to even whites and say how do you hate whites your way it doesnt make any sense was like do you hate your parents do you hate your grandparents is really a crazy thing snow you think but i started out come talking about it in front of this as well follow all the latest in the ongoing horrors in syria two major flashpoints there continuing today well continue to update you on our site for now thanks for watching this latest news update with me kevin i mean for the last half hour if you have a lot of programs continue straight after this break.

To ignore middle of the room signal. To the real news is. Still. Greetings and salutation. You know up to thirty eight years on this planet hawk watchers there is there is one thing i know to be true and that is that your past sins matter how deeply you bury them or insulate yourself against them they will always find their way back into the light you see nothing stays buried especially in the shallow graves left behind in the wake of the military Industrial Complex their deep state of neighbors and news media cheerleaders nothing stays buried take for example the continuing seventeen year debacle that is the United States adventures in afghanistan going on since nine eleven this week while most everyone has been distracted by indictments for internet trolling and payoffs to porn star mistresses the International Criminal court has revealed that they have received a jaw dropping one point seven thousand million statements from afghans who claim to be victims of war crimes one point seven million claims and thats only been in the first three months since the i.
