Up in another cage of 5 by 7 feet with an open lap. Its 10 oclock here in moscow youre watching r. T. International live from last year here with me. Into the program. The leaders of russia turkey and iran iraq to their 5th summit over the situation in syria and how to help the war ravaged countrys future a correspondent maria phenomena has been following the talks in the turkish capital. Has been a very busy day and now the feast on the trilateral summit on syria is over here and karen before that the leaders of turkey iran and russia had a tete a tete and definitely they had a lot to discuss but this time the talks focused on 3 major things 1st and number one was the situation in syria is no than province more of the the it is a very huge area it is believed to be home right now from 2. 00 to 3000000. 00 people it is also conceded to be the last remaining stronghold of Anti Government forces in syria including. Moderate socalled opposition and also al qaida like islam is very dangerous terrorists are very hard to deal with not a long negotiate with so porous of the 3 leaders and 3 countries and syria and other regional players and outside players have been facing this big challenge how to get 3 to 5 terrorists and this is something all the 3 leaders agreed should be done of course as soon as possible but how to do that without harming civilians in that area and we heard at the press Conference Today from all 3 leaders from mr rouhani mr added a gun and mr clinton that 1st of all counted terrys operations in that area shoot continuing another breakthrough that we actually had today as a result of this summit is Constitutional Committee this is a centerpiece of the u. N. Peace after hes in syria and this is a crucial mcnamees and we heard that from mr han instead of going to mr putin to bring peace to syria and to actually stop the entire region and it has been discussed for almost a year already and today we heard that the least of the members of this committee. He has been approved by turkey iran and russia 150 people those a loyal to the current Syrian Government and as well as opposition figures they are those who are supposed to represent the Syrian People and the International Arena and held political stability in the country another focus during these talks was regarding the territory in north of syria east of the Euphrates River and we heard from all 3 leaders that they respect the territorial integrity of syria should be the crucial moment of. Stabilizing the situation in that country but at the same time we heard from turkey that they want to create a kind of c. T. Of refugees in that area east of your freighters is now under the control of the american troops together with some european nations and turkey of course is involved in that part its a Good Initiative but at the same time it kind of contradicts the idea of territorial integrity so i guess there were some breakthrough there were some agreements and major discussions but still the right disagreements between Turkey Russia and iran on of course how exactly to bring peace to syria and we heard that the next 6 summit on syria will be held in tehran and which means more discussions to come. The russian iranian presence also touched on the drone strikes on to. Find rates over the weekend United States claims that ron is directly responsible which terror on denies. Reports. Its not even been a week since the famous most stosh was shaved off the face of americas Foreign Policy if you know what i mean but even without mr bolton someone else who is actually in charge of diplomacy has tweeted the u. S. Will join efforts with allies to ensure iran is held accountable for its aggression and theres plenty of other hawks to explain how not supposed to be done it is now time for the United States to put on the table an attack on iranian Oil Refineries if they continue their provocations were increased Nuclear Enrichment so this sound of the drums of war is back because Oil Refineries in saudi arabia went up in flames now after a hit see this island right here that is the kingdom of bahrain as seen from space the fire was so huge that the black of the smoke was almost just as big as you can see right there but who said it was to iran the u. S. State Department Even though boss might compare didnt explain how they knew the rain ians did it ill tell you what the who the rebels who are fighting a civil war in yemen even said it was us but for washington thats just a smokescreen. Amid all the quds for deescalation iran has now launched and im president of the tyco of the Worlds Energy supply the damages indeed of mens if you look at it from one side the worlds biggest black gold producer says the strike cut its crude old supply by around a half donald trump quickly called the Saudi Crown Prince to offer him full support but we know just how much oil and how much cash saudi arabia has riyadh has already called its buyers telling them the disaster is still not enough to disturb its black gold exports plus theyve been known as a western darling in the middle east for years and the saudis have been bombing the who theory rebels in yemen with the solid approval of the u. S. And allies. But back to iran the number one troublemaker in the area through washingtons lenses i mean lately even donald trump has hinted hes ready to engage in diplomacy with their leadership could happen it could happen. No problem with the black plumes of smoke from the burning saudi oil have probably clouded those intentions with or without john bolton what to do with iran remains the u. S. Administrations toughest puzzle. If the u. S. Is able to convince its allies like the europeans that. Iran was indeed. The country that carried out these attacks then. That could be quite serious but theres no evidence so far that that that is the case were only hearing from the u. S. That. That iran was responsible obviously the u. S. Is is trying to put maximum pressure on iran. But it remains to be seen whether that will be effective this is the 1st Major Incident the u. S. Has faced since bolton either resigned or was fired and so we will have to watch closely and see who is driving this this this very isolated but aggressive response to these attacks in saudi arabia. Talk to get the stall to break that process moving forward have fallen flat british Prime MinisterBarak Johnson met the in European Commission president in luxembourg this monday but the east coast johnson failed to provide any viable alternatives and despite comparing himself to the incredible hulk before the talks boss johnson then ducked out of a joint News Conference because a few noisy protesters had gathered near by. God i was the was its on. Mr johnson. Who holds the future of all you can citizens and every you citizens live in the u. K. If you sense its seuss responsiblity your people our people count on you but the clock is ticking use your time wisely. Live to athens now in arties alley has been across this oh dear thats quite painful to watch isnt it the Prime Ministers fortunes and really arent improving are they. We saw last week Boris Johnson losing a series of votes in the house of commons that would see basically parliament pushing back the braggs it deadline and passing no deal briggss legislation as its been dubbed but we done saw Boris Johnsons move to suspend Parliament Coming into play and thats where we are now Parliament Still suspended us despite a Scottish Court ruling that his suspension of parliament was on lawful and so Boris Johnson has been trying to use the time in between to negotiate a deal with the e. U. That would see an alternative to the Northern Irish backstop that has proved so contentious in accepting any deal between the 2 sides but it would appear if you put the pentagon who you believe there hasnt been much progress the Prime Minister says the talks are going along swiftly and that he sees a deal that could be struck between the 2 sides but many on the e. U. Sides including the. Prime minister who we source speaking on his own at that press conference saying that the responsibility for any alternative proposals for a deal have to come from the u. K. Side in the european side say thats simply not seeing that progress taking place and all of this expedited by the fact that of course were heading towards the top of the 31st deadline and should no deal be struck between the 2 sides well then the u. K. Will leave with no deal of a trading relationship on trade Organization Rules that many economists here in the u. K. Have said would cause huge disruption and actually in fact even the governments own impact analyses for worst Case Scenario saying that it could see shortages of fuel and medicine food and huge queues at the border over so far as many here in the u. K. And work needs to really step up pace if it is to be struck. Running out of time. Arties isa in westminster thanks lisa.

The controversial bill in california which if made law would force universities in the state to provide students seeking to terminate a pregnancy with abortion pelz the proposal has sparked outrage by ensuring that abortion care is available on Campus College students will not have to choose between delaying important medical care or have been to travel long distances on these classes the work not on my dime not on my dime taxed me to help the homeless tax me to help social services the dont tax me to pay for did this puzzle of human life they should be ashamed to risk womens lives at schools if it has the approval of californias governor in 2023 Campus Health services at dozens of universities in the state will be required to provide students with Abortion Pills according to the bill there are more than 8400000 female student at California State University campuses private donations of about 10000000. 00 will be used to train staff and by ultrasound machines but its feared that eventually the state would have to cover the cost all universities would have to raise student health. A study of adolescent health found that more than 500. 00 women at public universities in california seek medication for an abortion every month karen turk radio and t. V. Host and resurface an attorney and author discuss the development. We have to allow women to decide if they want to pursue their education with the complications of bearing children that would be an economic harm to them they have to be able to be able to make a choice and providing them the tools with the Abortion Pill is simply just doing and doing just that we have to give women a choice but we should also be pushing adoption as an option why do we just want to hand them a pill and say its ok here take care of your problems you know what the problem is we need to address this before these women get pregnant we need to educate these College Students handing them over a pill is not the answer here what are we going to say to a woman you know what you had a chance to get an education to create a better life for yourself but you completely ruined that and now that youre pregnant were not going to be able to complete your studies or theres a risk that you wont be able to do that and so you just have to drop out and a person who doesnt have an education doesnt have the ability going to go after high level jobs i now want to now youre at a because most women ceasars and not interested in being on government and in order not to go saying that most women to shoulder on and off for even having a b. And more fit only for you know we can get we can allow these women to go through with a full term pregnancy and allow them to choose adoption but can we actually be honest and discuss the impact of carrying a child for 9 months on a College Campus when you absolutely had no desire to be pregnant not only was i an 18 year old mother and did i finish my career and am i here talking to you today but im also the product of adoption and adoption is an option and its an option that seems to be totally off the table in America Today when did we stop talking about the fact that you can give a video and saying get off the t. V. That is born in america every baby is born there are 37 families that want to adopt that baby something is very wrong when were handing out Abortion Pills on campus were allowing women to decide were. Themselves based on what they know about their Life Experiences and their Socio Economic status or are they in a position to move forward and currently take one the role of being a mother that is something thats not taken lightly by these women and i believe that when we allow them the tools to make that choice theyre going to say you know i have to make this choice for me very simply morally wrong its morally wrong to promote abortion in a wave that it becomes the chosen choice where it becomes the number one choice over a life im prochoice i believe in a womans right to choose i believe there are circumstances where she should have that choice but i also believe that we need to advocate for a life and the reality is that going to School Full Time and having a newborn baby is very difficult and its a burden that some women have decided that they dont want to take on and frankly who are we to say that they should be forced to go to term with a pregnancy if theyre feeling that theyre not ready. Jemmys approach to Renewable Energy has had some of the wind taken out of it sails with strong resistance from people who live near power generating turbines Donald Cotton went to meet some of them. Germanys 2030 Renewable Energy goals are on a collision course with reality the countrys Energy Sector needs a hero something to save the green agenda before its too late and to fill those larger than life issues the government has put its faith in wind power we are convinced that the expansion towards 65 percent of Renewable Power on the grid by 2030 can only be reached if the expansion of onshore wind is revived for years wind power was a Main Driving Force of germanys fast expanding Green Energy Industry making up almost a quarter of total production so far this year its proponents praise wind as one of germanys most Important Energy sources creating thousands of jobs and many megawatts of energy while also cutting c o 2 emissions but wind farm expansion has slowed to a snails pace and these towering males have cost hundreds of anti wind citizens initiatives to spring up across the country so i drove down to brandenburg task residents how they felt about these when mills being built in their backyards and enough to know the Aircraft Warning lights are flashing so that you feel like youre in the middle of an Industrial Park go to a new refinery and during winter months the shadows from the rotating mills create a disk to your living room and there are a lot of complains about it i was on talk were going to even sit outside on sundays or open our windows it annoyed because of the noise. Whole landscape licas those are Serious Problems but noises and shadows arent the only issues here in fact residents are complaining about other ways in which windmills are hurting the environment and you know Renewable Energies a great idea but the needs to be a reasonable approach windmills in the forest we are generally against that it must enough bats and insects are being killed on mass and that damage is bio diversity by technology thats supposed to be environmentally friendly there are more negative outcomes than positive ones and to top it all off they feel that the government doesnt care who bears the burden. Or when generating zone was built at a distance prescribed for smaller meals and that was ok but then they built an additional one that is 50 meters high with these regard to the local community we havent been asked but just presented with the facts since its been to the 1st 6 mills were installed and we urgently consider it positive now theyre getting bigger taller louder people are getting annoyed and now there is a notion that our contribution to renewables has been fulfilled and the expansion should stop and if the government doesnt explore other alternatives in response to this grassroots opposition germanys environmental goals could be gone with the wind donald corridor r. T. Brendan burke. A classic board game monopoly is getting an update to address the gender pay gap its called ms monopoly and insurance female players receive more money than male american toymaker hasbro says it embodies a positive message about female empowerment but not all women are impressed. A look at their the. Fear in the. World. Are all. Of them are only. As good as a woman i find ms monopoly sexist equality doesnt mean women make more than men advocate free a way to grow has for your amusement hopefully i do dogs need a financial head start i would like to start equal and then kick some butt thanks to. Hasbro actually wanted to celebrate womens empowerment with their name as monopoly why not finally acknowledge that a woman invented monopoly in the 1st place. In the 5 years i spent reporting my book of the monotonous published in 2015 which chronicled the discovery of the boardgames invention hasbro declined to comment or knowledge maggies role in originating began it trivializes the the plight of women in the workforce. I dont understand what theyre trying to do it fact they also Pay Lip Service if best to the originator of of monopoly who was a woman and what it does is it basically takes a cause which many people take very seriously and should the notion of eat quality and equivalent treatment in the light and reduces it to that of a board game and you start off where women make more money and somehow i guess this is supposed to inspire conversation or some type of insight into what women go through i think its tawdry its pathetic and again stupid about the need to ill be back in 30 minutes with more updates i have to stay with us.
