World we debate the rise of. What this generation seems to be saying is youve messed things up for long enough youre not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is civil disobedience Extinction Rebellion is without question britains Fastest Growing religion. Broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is R T International on front honest certainly glad that. Turkey has carried out air and artillery strikes in northeast syria this according to local media reports now this follows threats from ankara to launch a large scale offensive against Kurdish Forces and it comes right after the u. S. Withdrew its troops from the area effectively pulling its support for its kurdish allies donald trump says he has already discussed the Turkish Operation with the countrys president. So ive told president i want to help hes going to treat everybody with Great Respect you have to understand theyve been fighting various of the people we were working with turkey has been fighting them for many years somebody said hundreds of years you had just mentioned to me yesterday 200 years maybe more. At some point we have to bring our people back home and thats what were doing multiple reports of said that the turkey has launched strikes as well as artillery barges against s. D. F. Positions predominantly the s. D. F. Is syrian kurds and turkey views the movement the terrorists and it is said before does warn that they will launch this operation now it appears that they have actually turned the word into deed theyve struck at a Border Crossing with iraq in the very North Eastern part of syria allegedly destroying 2 bridges hitting a convoy as well as other s. D. F. Units and positions in northeastern syria the turkish platen is as they had said for a while now is to establish a safe to receive soon to receive resettle millions of syrian arab refugees that turkey is hosting back into syria the s. D. F. E is that what turkeys trying to do is to change the demographic the population ethnic balance in the region in turkeys favor. The attack itself should be followed by a land operation on the ground operation with because weve seen turkey pulling tanks troops various Armored Vehicles for weeks now towards the Syrian Border and this is a huge front this is almost 500 kilometers the Turkish Border with the s. D. F. Northern syria the interesting the peculiar thing that has happened is that turkey has read. Daoud to iran rather than syria saying that they respect syrias sovereignty that this operation is a must do thing and the turkey will try to do things as quickly and as safely as possible with. Little violence possible peculiar because why wouldnt you reach out to sample another country that iran eases a strange choice theyve also been rumors that the s. D. F. Has tried to reopen dialogue talks with damascus with president asad the logic presumably being that if the syrian army moved into northern northeastern syria then the turks would have no choice but to withdraw they wouldnt want to warn multiple fronts the other rumor is that assad has said no i said as i said that we will only move in if you give up all weapons and reintegration of self into into greater syria the surprising thing is how quickly the United States pulled out this is this is the s. D. F. Were talking about this whole operation against isis in syria that the United States around separate from the russian and syrian what it was it was you know on the ground the troops on the ground with vast is vast majority were kurds the s. D. F. Protecting american bases that had been set up in in syria. The u. S. Led operations u. S. Mandated operation and the u. S. Had been arming had been funding had been training and poor natively s. D. F. This is in effect it is their pet army the turks had said no that they were they were not down for this that this wouldnt fly basically they view the s. D. F. As terrorists they view the entire movement as illegitimate and at this point theres a lot of theres a lot of criticism towards the United States because it appears that they backstab they betrayed such a close ally it was more or just mention of their withdrawal from syria has been roundly criticized by the u. S. Establishment arties killer martin has been gauging the public reaction in new york. U. S. Forces in northeastern syria whove been intermingled with kurdish fighters have been withdrawn from the country theyve packed up and left the order came all the way from the top from the u. S. Commander in chief donald trump he says the United States no longer has any benefit from being in syria weve been in syria for many years you know syria was supposed to be a short term hit just a very short term hit we were supposed to be in and out that was many many years ago and we only have 50 people in that area thats a small sector. And i dont want those 50 people hurt or killed or anything i dont want it in bad to happen our people standing in between the turkish an s. D. F. Fighters was not a fight to win or a benefit for the United States why because theyre both friends and allies of the usa so if you support one side youre inevitably betraying the other its a perfect no win scenario and for his decision to abandon the kurds donald trump is already taking a hit not just from enemies but from allies we must always have the backs of all and if we expect them to have our back the currents were instrumental in our successful fight against isis in syria leaving them to die is a big mistake. This decision to abandon their kurdish allies and turn syria over to russia iran and turkey will put every radical islamists to roy its shown that in the arm to the bad guys devastating for the good guys losing the reputation as a reliable partner is the main concern after all nobody wants to partner up with a backstabber however donald trump seems to be trying to balance that up now that hes abandoned one partner hes threatening the other as i have stated strongly before and just to reiterate if turkey does anything that i in my great an unmatched wisdom consider to be off limits i will totally destroy and obliterate the economy of turkey ive done before so we decided to ask new yorkers if they think that donald trump is taking the right moves should the usa have pulled out of syria so suddenly i do not support anything supports hill flip flip flop just like you know honestly i dont think you should be there. Somebody is going to suffer we stay there they suffer we leave they suffer so no we have a reason to stop them and about weve helped them as much as a republican and thats some point they have to be able to stand on their own 2 feet syria you think its too soon or. Probably i just think theres a lot of hypocrisy so what happens next will Turkish Forces go in with a full scale invasion will American Forces be returning to syria any time soon u. S. Foreign policy seems to match the reputation of the us president not only is it unpredictable but it could have unpredictable consequences. Archie new york. Peace activist a dent valek says the u. S. Exit from syria leaves civilians and kurdish fighters exposed we have to remember that in the 99 days of turkey with substantial u. S. Military support by the way really carried out a genocide against its. Kurdish population killing about 3000000 kurds so we know. Turkeys tip of the towards the Kurdish People and. One has to be very concerned the replay of that in Northern Syria im sure turkey is trying everything you can not to have it happen because obviously if it incurred the military wrath of the United States that would be devastating for them but you know mistakes happen and that is the risk of whats happening here so the u. S. Is a horribly unreliable for the kurds it has no friends only interests and the u. S. Which is size all the time opposes al qaida that supports the right we see this over and over. To protesters are on trial in hong kong for violating a new ban on face masks after 4 months of anti beijing on rest the activists were accompanied to court by a crowd of supporters. Public canker erupted to her earlier in the year overbill on extraditions to Mainland China which was later abandoned since then the hong kong protests have snowballed into a wider Rights Movement which is even difficult to control and a bit of a warning you might find the following scenes of it distressing a taxi driver was in severely beaten over the weekend after he plowed into marchers and knocking 2 of them down. And an actress was also targeted and on sunday she was attacked while trying to take pictures of protesters vandalizing a branch of the bank of china and was later seen bloodied and injured or taylor reports now on the dramatic security breakdown in hong kong. Of the fight for democracy but the faces of those trying to wrest control from beijings crossed a must. And the democratic means theyre using wouldnt be out of place in hollywood horror film the pudge. The films premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed mogs a fact austin rape you name it youve got a free pass and that because of this small window to release all your rage the country becomes crime free for the other 364. 00 days its a small sacrifice for the wider peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar to the films opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own. Superbug still lets me and you look for. The merchants the service is suspended for our. Members urged us. Its like. Ok it was a hoax but it was a hoax that actually wasnt that far from the reality of the chaotic mania gripping the streets of hong kong. Hong kong had a very dark night because of the extreme acts of the rioters the citys now cemetery lies to everyone is worried to hell or even afraid. Shops looted buildings and the metro disrupted for the fast time in over 20 years Shopping Centers food shops and banks closed down fearing wolf islands from the vandals a city which was renowned for its efficiency and convenience is now ma it in confusion and to sorta the instability has spooked the mark. Its insane hong kongs retail sales suffered the biggest drop on record and while the citys 1000000 as a parking must 2 cases for those who cant just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a foster residency abroad the options are limited but all we can go anywhere we came from Mainland China and we didnt know the stations were closed so now we can do is a big problem for public transport is for everyone a decision to open or close the station cannot be politically if its everyones daily life but if you save its traditions which we have for you see trees not only produce trees and because of them. Their tree really affects all of the life its close and. The entire thing anyway so i think thats kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes of senseless violence while the protesters are engaged in a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience and what of course no image shows the full picture for this Undercover Police officer who was beaten and with petrol bombs by and incensed mob the line is probably a bit more blood with the lenses of the International Media zoomed in on the region theres no shortage of scenes just like this and dont worry if its a slow day but im more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show i dont. Take. Any. Excuse. The patch in the film last 12 hours in hong kong was 17 weeks and counting and as those on both sides of the power kates refused to back down a resolution seems far off. So there is no endgame thats the infinity war that hong kong people are willing to engage in as businesses are crushed as fires by and of people are forced to pick sides claims that its all in the name of peace and democracy are increasingly wearing. These protests is no longer our prodemocracy protests it is turning to royalty the process the most the engage in violence our young people it is because for the past. Decades. The home called government nor to have a strong policy measures to ensure our. Young people after they graduated from school all the university they would have a hard core easy jobs the protests are nor where organized to do nor have a hierarchy to communicative to or fortys to pull just one thing wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police no toys bussed to you skinny little tools to be passed on the sly to the whole situation. Necessary to eat up because external forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the rich real happened. In the short run. Ecuador has shut down 3 oil fields are due to ongoing protests a restaurant on thursday after the governments decision to scrap the fuel subsidies president of london marina has responded with a 2 month state of emergency around 500 people have been arrested during street clashes and are to question it was in the midst of the unrest in quito on monday. The area still heavy here we have tear gas and smoke this is the aftermath of what is just happened here massive clashes between protesters. And the Ecuadorian Police the protesters mainly students they started peacefully in the early hours of the morning but around midday and in a split 2nd they turned violent. That was really. Our tame was affected by sound bombs and tear gas and flying rocks were a constant threat after 3 hours of violent clashes between protesters and police the streets of quito looked more like who bulls with brought bottles and tear gas cottages scattered everywhere so these definitely been violent and heavy protests but people we spoke to were telling us this is just the beginning they waiting for the biggest protests to happen on wednesday thats when Indigenous Leaders from all around the country theyre going to come here to the capital and theyre going to protest next to the president ial palace is where not the most the people have rights and we want them to abide by those rights which is going to jump from managers and running around arenas locking governments in step with the north american empire you know that i am that has a back past it does not help the people so we dont want that already saw what happened was people suffering from hunger.

The leader of the French National rally Party Marine Le Pen has called for an immigration freeze claiming the french ship is sinking r. T. S. Road to rescue has more. As the immigration question that once again stirs up heated debate in france the reality on the ground remains shocking. Them for. For answers asylum system is saturated today its as if were only now feeling the effects of the 20152016 crisis the data is clear indisputable and 2800. 00 france registered 123000 asylum applications. You have chosen to make migrants a scapegoat for the countrys problems the migrants rather than the financier who ponders our country for the tax evader. All around you can get a sense of the number of people who are living here this is sultani a commune in the northern suburb of paris and its estimated that there are around 3000 migrants currently living in the northern parts of paris many are living in these makeshift tents that are provided by association they rely on food handouts just to survive that the stress of living on the edge can be explosive and entering camps can be dangerous even for those who are there to offer help now what weve done today is weve asked if we can come in and weve been given permission to film as long as we dont show any faces now some charitable organizations have also been raising the alarm over the situation here saying it evokes memories of the height of the crisis back in 2015 a cataclysmic situation even in 2015 at the height of the migrant crisis we never had such a big spike. And these are some of the fear is that have been shared by locals the mayor is doing Everything Possible hes working on the situation but unfortunately at the governmental level it is taking too long. A lot of things are going on here there is fear i see a lot of thinks people are going mad and there is a lot of aggression i find this very sad our government accepted these people and left them on the streets. Polls show a significant percentage of the french feel that there are too many foreigners in france its half way through his presidency and its already an issue that matter is getting tough on in what many see is an attempt to stop voters drifting to parties such as marking the pens National Rally we are increasingly going to have to live with waves of migration faced with this we must organize ourselves because france cannot welcome everyone if it wants to host people. But the problem with Illegal Immigrants is not only a french problem its something that the whole of the e. U. Is trying to grapple with and while the countries are struggling to find a workable solution there are more warnings coming up we have to help our European Partners even more in patrolling the use external borders we have left them alone for too long if we dont we will once again see a refugee wave like into into 15 maybe even greater than 4 years ago his solution to that is to strengthen patrols on the e. U. s external borders but thats going to have little impact on the situation already at hand in places like this like some tinny camps like this have been regularly demolished by the french authorities within days of that happening the tents and the my clients return theyve been subjected to gangs and drug dealers out to profit from their misery and thats exactly what this is this is a life of misery a life of constantly living on the edge all while e. U. Countries wrangle over figures and numbers rather than perhaps facing the human calamity that is so clear to see. R. T. At sultani near paris. On sunday night a boat carrying around 50 migrants capsized in the mediterranean 13 people died in the disaster 22 were rescued by italian authorities and taken to lampedusa the others are still missing since the new government in rome opened its ports to charity rescue vessels the number of arrivals by sea has doubled. Meanwhile in greece more than 500 migrants have been taken from an overcrowded camp on the island of lesbos to the mainland they were then transported to the Northern City of fesa lawmaking the countrys authorities are trying to reduce the number of people in the morea camp in last post which houses 13000 people rather than the 3000 it is designed for bernardine a professor of early modern european history told us he thinks europe is indeed heading towards another crisis. As soon as the new roads that. We choose to begin to lead. The world margaret must live where. They were. This were created. Basically that is that. You. Can subscribe to these up and says whoa. This is up to the money out of the river its going to be there and so we are going to get the minister i think its. A no smoking migrants. So no wonder which took place because of the. More than 200 people were arrested in Central London on monday as a 2 week climate protest by Extinction Rebellion activists got underway the group has said it intends to paralyze westminster by blocking roads and transport networks hundreds of people have been chaining themselves to vehicles and are protesting outside Government Departments it is part of a Worldwide Campaign spending 60 major cities protesters have also disrupted traffic in central and down madrid and berlin dutch police say they made 50 arrests near a popular tourist attraction while in berlin around a 1000 people blocked a busy intersection meanwhile in australia and a newsy. And dozens of activists have been arrested extinction and rebellion has been in the headlines for the past year. The types of actions that we want to engage with are disruptive to business as usual but disruptive in a way that is not repellent to observers or outsiders people who may not even consider themselves to be environmentalists or politically active or aware cetera but people who are just. Paying attention in the world and understand that we are in a crisis and so they will be attracted or drawn into the spirit of the rebellion there are many ways to get involved. And we dont really place getting arrested above not getting arrested among Extinction Rebellions key demands are the governments to declare a Climate Emergency halt the loss of biodiversity and slash Carbon Emissions our guest gave us their views on the tactics of the movement has been used. Extinction rebellion is without question britains Fastest Growing pagan religion and the reason i refer to as a pagan religion is just as all the classic hallmarks of a group of religious fundamentalists a belief that their view is the only view thats acceptable a desire to shut down everything that does not talk to their worldview they fundamental belief that they are in charge and everybody else also go to their beck and call how do you resolve pollution the result polluted by Technological Advancements the Technological Advancements the Extinction Rebellion oppose what this generation seems to be saying is youve messed things up for long enough youre not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther king jr and malcolm x. And rosa parks and people who decided that peaceful nonviolent public protest. Displays of public outrage but tamed and controlled because dont forget the Extinction Rebellion and anybody whos involved in political activism or any kind of change agenda they going to use your actions and activities against you look Extinction Rebellion of demand effects we have returned to the stone age removal of economic progress a commitment to not grow the economy so essentially the British Government for example has committed to being 0 carbon by 2050 which i think is nominally sensible you cant or shouldnt trust all words that come to our service we had our cities contrast that because our numbers in the names become cleaner every single year if i can speak directly into the camera my 11 year old son who was at home with the band hello guys and we had a debate before it came on tonight about does he want to. Leave school. Take a break for an afternoon or a day to go and protest he was worried about the consequences at age 11 he understands that the climate is suffering and that rapid change is needed we do need to tackle pollution but i will tell you something you regret you reverse the economic advantages that have lifted a 1000000000 people up poverty and you do not make the earth a better place Extinction Rebellion are lying to you. By the dozen for mailbags headlines and 31 minutes there was. Sex guys or financial survival guide. When customers go by you reduce the price. Didnt help well reduce our. Thats undercutting but whats good for market is back good for the global economy. But just. In this connection to mom im glad samson asked for the last 70 and seeing and on this day for the dutch Promotion Commission she. Branches just shoot on disk in the. Command. Digit mom. You know new car so sit on the open much to the mama just are ya know
