And president. Following events. Which include russian movies everyone holds. Surprises. For now. From austin with me. Welcome to the program. A major shift of Alliance Officials in syria say theyve reached an agreement with the government in damascus from now on syrian troops will be able to enter kurdish controlled northeastern syria for the 1st time in years to help the. With the latest. Hearing from kodesh sources that theyve signed an agreement with the damascus government that will see the 2 sides Work Together to what they say prevent confront and pushback turkish aggression all of this comes as we hear from local media that locals are celebrating the news in the town of. In the north east in syria locals have been going to the streets extremely satisfied with the latest developments syrian state media is reporting that the syrian army is making its way to the north of the country while Lebanese Television says that the Syrian Forces within the next 48 hours will enter the strategic more than warded town of bani that is controlled by the kurds now we hear this amid war in concerns that pro took his forces have cut off the main east west road through to kurdish territory so this altimeter leaves the city of isolated so no doubt theres going to be a massive escalation in that particular area we all 6 receiving reports that the syrian army has already entered the town of monday in aleppo now this is just 60 kilometers away from core barney and we understand that the Kurdish Militia who control the checkpoints in and out of the town simply let them drive through as for the turkish advances late on sunday they advance to the town of el tell in northeastern syria so the situation on the ground both forces into becoming closer and closer together and unfortunately most people are into supporting further clashes violence and potentially casualties at least expert ali with however told us he doubts that syria and turkey moving towards a full scale war. You know this step it is quite a significant step but i wouldnt necessarily think that were on the brink of a some kind of conventional war were going to syria show me i just dont think. Its going to ship president so were going to that saddam now we see what you kurds have kids we will be ready to. Lead a Syrian Government and also with russia and start up the most will block the it cannot the us the asteroids and all of the Foreign Policy saying that the u. S. The Syrian Military forces already in syria and iran and russia that would mean that it would prevent genocide the remaining problem would be to deal with the areas which turkey now has or office mates were arranging i think that would be the main Sticking Point so they remain calm is often done channeled at the withdrawal of u. S. Troops from the region despite growing fears of a potential terrorist and says thousands of ice from detainees to still being held in prisons across Northern Syria the us president however says its because who are responsible for the terrorists it goes it on off takes a closer look at how the crisis could have been followed. This is turkish and kurdish fighters beating each other black and blue and theres hate begets hate a hydra that was thought to be called dead is raising its head again. The version does not only threaten the reactivation revival of Islamic State but has revived and activated it stills in chemistry and other areas left all alone against the Turkish Military under its proxies the as d. F. Needs every man and woman who can hold a rifle to defend their homes so the guards abandon some of their prison posts and some 800 i saw affiliates missed no chances here breaking loose from captivity and more and sensing the lax watch over them are no longer afraid to rattle their cages both of them running for the hills there and while both damascus and its neighbors have plenty to be concerned about because of this its europe that is really worried. The Turkish Operation in syria is our main concern our common wish is that the offensive must end we believe that it risks on the one hand creating an unacceptable humanitarian situation and on the other helping to reemerge in the Region Military action will undermine the security of the coalitions local partners and namely the Kurdish Forces and risk for attacked it is the billet in northeast syria providing 39. 00 a ground for that is arrogance. And the latest jailbreaks might be only the very beginning of a truly massive outpour i mean look at this there are isolated tensions centers all over the kurdish controlled areas they hold tens of thousands of Islamic State affiliates thousands of them being former fighters actual former fighters and many of them Holding Foreign passports yes the e. U. Had every. Type of warning bell ringing for them the kurds begged europe to take bad geodes with the e. U. Passports and put them on trial at home well the position of the opt out by many european states have also been adopted but many other states across the globe countries are very reluctant to take back home anyone whos been connected with socalled Islamic State as a foreign fighters because a the judicial systems within many liberal democracies havent got the ability to bring evidence that would be sufficiently robust to get through the Court Systems and prosecute these people and the 2nd thing is to try and monitor them would cost a huge amount of money europe of course is haunted with p. T. S. D. Terror from the caliphate headed smite and were living those moments is europes worst nightmare. So condemn call for dialogue stop every last arms create a turkey all you want now like fixing a crumbling house with duct tape over worked. Turkish president hasnt turned up the reports of a massive prison break out by Islamic State fighters and family members as and disinform ation aimed at provoking the west but it seems he has failed to convince you with france and germany announcing theyre banning arms exports to turkey that are expert paolo refer only to the present breakout could pose a real threat both for syria and the west. Is worse because he didnt lee all these foreign fighters which were detained under the kurdish. Detention centers are now being opened. To the territory which means is this people 1st of all be active in the territory of syria again and possibly being foreign fighters they might even decide or truth be told you therefore to be. Fundamentally struggles with the run ments of i saw the caliphate to a region in africa seeing a rise in just hardest attacks we found out where the next type of islamic extremism could be. Later in. Enters 1st national childs gender reassignment clinic is being sued by the mother of a patient and a psychotherapist who used to work there they claim that experimental treatments used on children as young as 11 have not been researched enough theyre asking the court to ban the Tavistock Center from prescribing home and blocking medication unless a Court Decides its in the childs best interest they also accuse the clinic and the trust that its in charge of gender Identity Services north london of giving families and misleading information about the risk of treatment marcus evans says psychiatry is to work at the clinic and the husband of the psychotherapist suing the facility argues that the treatment is indeed under researched. You know as a controversial treatment with a Vulnerable Group of kids its got long reaching consequences. We really dont know whats going on in this area and yet the trust was acting as if d there was nothing to look at everything was fine and we just d carry on as a little odd never being again transitional and just again young kids making decisions all their parents like this is on maybe our i couldnt as a parent make a decision like that and on behalf of my children now how do you talk to a 12 year old about the implications of their treatment for their when they when theyre 25 when they feel like a completely different person the clinic out of the denies the accusations claiming a high level of satisfaction from patients despite the controversy around the treatment the number of referrals to this clinic has increased exponentially in recent years mark evans again the topic of gender dysphoria has become highly politicized and the wellbeing of patients is overlooked. It is something about this area that is highly politicized which means this is the thing you can ask questions all youre accused of being transposed it and actually normal medical practice is not taking place in modern v. A. Is not enough research theres not enough interest in the downside of whats going on is not on our scrutiny all. d of the issue of consent and i think we need an independent regulatory body that would oversee these controversial area and not reduce the trustees to ringgold with the d approach trans lobbies its not its not any other name necessarily relies to what extent that Political Force is a driving whats going on in this area. President putin as expected in saudi arabia later today its been 12 years since he was last there and is expected to meet to king solomon and the sun to compress. The throne and that is it for us. Saudi arabia and russia is a remarkable example of how 2 countries could be great partners or friends and foes at the same time everything that riyadh gets itself involved in and the middle east be it about iran yemen or syria gets full support from washington and you do realize that and all these cases russia is on the different side of the barricade. But when the russian leader and the Saudi Crown Prince get along so well in person by the way they are the authors of probably the most famous high profile high fives in the world the chances that the dialogue could work will always be very high. I have very good relations with both the king and the crown prince of we have been making good headway practically and. Surely we do have to bear in mind that the 2 countries are the Worlds LargestOil Producers are their competitors you know in this case most likely opec plus partners to all kinds of oil and gas and issues related to the Energy Sector are on the agenda especially after the drone attack from last month on one of saudi arabias most Important Oil refineries which put the countrys output by almost a half. And almost put the region on the brink of a real crisis. Yemens who the rebels said we did it washington and allies almost immediately blamed it all on to iran it was feared that a u. S. Led strike on iran could have been imminent the incident even led to Vladimir Putin suggesting that saudi arabia whose army is almost totally dependent on arms imports from the us should buy a russian made air Defense Missile systems its another chance for mr putin to sell those but even without them 2000000000 dollars worth of contracts are expected to be signed between moscow and riyadh. But apart from things to be bought for cash moscow is bringing plenty of presents which include russian movies cartoons an opera and concert and a collection of russias painting everyones sure that the hosts have plenty of surprises ready for mr putin and co but for now what that will be has remained the secret. Still has permission to use ground it will attempt to cool its service and one us state saying the natural result should pay for the people that are alone im not big business on that story after this break. What holds if you should. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be present. To do right to be close this is what before 3 of them or if you get. Interested always in the water. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back to the program and have attacked a mosque. In west africa killing at least 16 people its not clear whos behind it but theres growing concern about a surge of religious extremism in the region the fall sawhill region in Subsaharan Africa is one of the areas most at risk it spawns from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the red sea encompassing 9 countries all Senior Correspondent explains the fears its become a fertile recruiting ground for jihadist groups. These days its getting harder to sell jihad in the middle east people know what hides behind those pious promises and todd generations culled at this point who could just sick of killing so the fanatics are packing up and leaving apparently for them theres more fun to be had elsewhere at the doorstep of the sahara i know we are all very concerned about the continuing escalation of violence in the city heal and its expansion into the gulf of guinea countries it is already one of the most inhospitable places on the planet and if the merciless heat of the malnutrition an almost total lack of medical care werent enough to kill you well religious nutcases will take birth kena fast so just last week an attack on a mosque during friday prayers 2 weeks ago 20 people mostly miners dead in an apparent jihad as the tack on a gold mine a little earlier at least 38 soldiers killed in the jihad this attack in neighboring mali according to n. G. O. S the number of jihad just attacks in the sale have doubled every year from 2016 and if youre a career terrorist with affordance for killing web better to be the same hell is huge almost 7 times the size of iraq plenty of fresh recruits high birth rates high poverty high desperation the Perfect Place to recruit an army of hopeless youth and start over. This ladies and gentlemen is the setting of the 2nd war and terror this is where its going to be waged fronts arguably fired the 1st shots when it invaded mali set up a task force of sail nations the g 5 to stop islamist radicalism the hardly any effect underfunded under support the dead in smaller numbers than expected in the beginning the war on terror in fact has become so hot and so complicated that even the Africa Command the pentagon the u. S. Military is not yet were in africa even though its primary or a primary objective was to fight this socalled lawrence here and its decided to be good for the state court hermit. Hundreds of thousands of miles from the battlefield when you have military figures who are not on the front line in or trying to fight a war thousands of miles away that is not really an optimism with regard to the prospect of combating this epidemic of religious zealot lack of funds was address to the summit in brooklyn a fast so last month with west African Leaders announcing a 1000000000. 00 plan to combat jihad this violence which is pennies considering the challenge the 1000000000. 00 to protect an area roughly the size of a 3rd of the european continent the sale is a gateway to the richer Central African ivory coast gonna southern nigeria and when they get there well all feel it from coffee prices to Food Shortages and or Oil Production declines that will batter the worlds economy and make no mistake this jihad is intended to hurt. In the u. S. State of South CarolinaWater Service providers are concerned over the decision to let google use ground water to cool it servers the search giant has a permit to pump hundreds of millions of gallons of water every year to cover its needs but it could be revoked if limits are exceeded critics of the decision believe the water should be used for better purposes i dont have a beef against google itself but i dont think its appropriate to use pristine groundwater for cooling computers versus providing water for people were obviously concerned about the long term safe sustainable yield of that aquifer r. T. Asked people in South Carolina what they thought about google using water this way. Yes i think it would definitely affect the ability. To have clean water without more filtration being in the process im not sure that would be the best idea just for the environment probably wouldnt be the best i think there could be a better way i think that. Google being a multibillion Dollar Tech Company maybe collaborate with another tech company to find other ways to call servers the controversy here in South Carolina and google involves something called ground water or water that its sucked out of an awkward for the concern is that as you pull the water out once it is used the most it is replenished by rain or snow or by some other source that over time the aqua for begins to collapse in on itself the ground shrinks and that creates infrastructure problems but beyond that the problem is for the next generation there isnt enough Water Technologies that exist today can provide vast amounts of clean safe healthy Drinking Water and water for other purposes in society its being stated by local people that google is acting in a very irresponsible way at this is not an evil corporation you know trying to steal the future of a widows and orphans would google tried to do is they try to at the time they built this facility to be extremely Energy Carbon fuel independent and sustainable and the choice is between whether use air conditioning which means to say burning lots of carbon fuel or using lots of water which is more much more Energy Efficient and also in the u. S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed new rules on lead to contamination in Drinking Water the agency suggest to test the levels in water in childcare facilities in schools and also wants to know what the threshold allowed into and can water critics question whether these plans are enough to tackle the problem. Its exactly the opposite of what we should be doing from a Public Health standpoint thats absolutely critical there are going to be problems with lead contamination as long as you leave lead pipes in the ground lead pipes have been banned in the u. S. For more than 3 decades however they are still widely used in households and competent the most common sources of contaminated chinking which according to the e. P. A. And was the mention the attack professor who helped spotlight lead to crisis in the city of flint says the changes are necessary and will require a lot of. The needles and power for rule was clearly driven by the National Night mark cracy this is a very expensive regulation its going to require a lot of work its going to require a lot of Public Education on the one hand but at the same time many people think it doesnt go far enough you know the 15 per 1000000000 skinner isnt Strong Enough we have to get the lead pipes out if theyre out sooner the reality is that you know people are afraid of the water after this water crisis they think maybe their city maybe their talent maybe their family next to be suffering from the state of europe government at this point perception is reality too many of our poorest americans are spending their precious time actually resources are buying bottled water and shelters and then after about social and fortune so this is a very sad situation. And we have to get. Honest now ill be back in around 30 minutes time with more updates so do stay with us. Chose seemed wrong. When old rules just dont hold. Any of the balls to get to shape out just to come out ahead and gain strength because betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
