Live from moscow thanks for joining us and. Welcome to the program. Turkey sees no need to continue its military operations in Northern Syria thats according to ankara it follows a 6 hour marathon talks between the president s of russia and turkey in the black sea resort of sochi which has resulted in a new plan for syria. To reports. With putting new project into practice i hope it will work well for congress and all people as friends of the Syrian People and the neighbors will read it to dog best to achieve these instability in the country syria should be free of any only willful foreign presence the long term stability of syria can only be achieved by observing the silver and unity of the country right now Vladimir Putin and to want to have shaken their hands and the 10 paragraph agreement is there there are many elements to it 1st of all it ensures that all the involved saw ides respects the territorial integrity of syria but more importantly if we look into it the agreement means that russia agreed to turkeys desired 30 kilometer buffer zone along the border and means that the kurdish militias now have 150 hours to leave that area parts of the zone will later be patrolled by russias military police and the Turkish Military plus another paragraph rules that control over the turkish Syrian Border on the syrian side should be returned to the Syrian Government forces and by the way Vladimir Putin has already been on the phone with the syrian president Bashar Al Assad and we know already that damascus is pleased with the outcome of todays talks between putin aired on its also very important that if everything goes according to plan the turkish offensive will be put on hold for another 150 hours as ive said so clearly a breakthrough after a talks that lasted well longer than originally expected by the turkish president and the russian leader Vladimir Putin one of the main questions right now is where all. This leaves the us and this is exactly what i asked of the russian minister of defense and the Russian Foreign minister who continued talking to the journalists after the leaders left and to that surrogate lavrov reminded us that russia believes that the american troops and their involvement in syria was illegal in the 1st place and certainly showing the top russian Army Official reminded us of the expiring deadline of the socalled previous ceasefire brokered between washington and ankara and expressed some real skepticism about the americans fulfilling their promises the United States has very little time left to fulfill their obligations very soon the time bar expires which was meant to see moving heavy equipment to weight combat units and so on the singer russian officials went on to bring up a few other issues that are still out there regardless of the greenman for example the fate of eisel terrorists that were released as a result of this vacuum when the turkish army didnt and terror just yet but the kurdish militias had already retreated according to Sergei Scheuer who hundreds of eisel fighters have run free at this point theres also the refugee issue and many others but again judging by what we heard throughout choose day after these extended talks between the leaders of russia and turkey the level of trust and the friendship between the leaders their relationship that theyve established in the last few years allows them to deal with pretty much any difficulties in that area given that right now they are clearly the number one players when it comes to dealing with the situation in northeast syria we talked to political analyst you so fed him he thinks that this new deal between russia and turkey sets in stone the conditions ankara agreed with the United States. Its a very important deal and while both sides didnt get everything that they wanted they got enough where they can leave the table and say were happy and these were gains now when we look from a turkish perspective turkish was able to mend the diplomatic gains it made at the table with the United States by having them reflected onto the field by dealing with the russians because of well in reality the u. S. Presence is waiting in the last real power brokers in syria or turkey and russia so any deal with the americans to have a meaningful consequence on the deal needs to be reaffirmed by the russian president thats exactly what the turkish president did today he had this deal and we see that even though truth is not dealing directly with the regime through russia we see that the regime is happy with this deal that the opposition is happy with this deal hes happy with this deal and the russians are happy with this deal so its a win win for everybody from my point of view. Facing repeated accusations that the betrayed he betrayed the kurds in syria the u. S. President seems to be shifting to a strategy where hes more comfortable ground thats business president has announced hes thinking of leaving some troops in syria though for the benefit of americas allies. I dont want to leave there its very dangerous there you have an army on both sides of those for so for sort of what i dont think its. Necessary other than that we should get the oil region where weve been asked by israel and jordan to only a small number of troops is a totally different section of syria so we have a small group there and we should hear the other that theres no reason for. Well as trump puts himself hes there to stop endless wars in the middle east the u. S. Leaders said he was against america going into iraq but since they were there it was worth keeping the oil and despite all the memes linking the u. S. Invasion to Oil Refineries u. S. Military officials claim theres a far more serious strategy behind it we have troops in towns in south in northeast syria that are located next to the oil fields the troops in those towns are not in the present phase of withdrawal the purpose of those forces a purpose of those forces working with the s. D. F. Is to deny access to those oil fields by isis and others who may benefit from their revenues it could be earned International Oil economist octomom to solomon believes washington is not in the position to decide the future and even the present situation of syrias oil. The and i think its should not be in syria in the 1st place and they are occupying hsien oil fields at a time when theyre out of preventing other countries from supplying oil to syria the United States is acting like a judge and jury when it comes to the only fears over. There is no reason for our benefit to stay there and the oil is not a bet he has to so that it can divide it between the accords and between its own benefit the oil belongs to see add its people and it is high time for the United States to be behave in a better way and leave syria out its all. British m. P. s have once again dealt a blow to Boris Johnsons hopes to get his bricks at bill through parliament theyve rejected the governments timetable to approve the withdrawal bill and during the debate parliament slammed the Prime Ministers idea to pick through the would draw agreement in just 3 days we warned on saturday but if the house passes the governments deal it would be a disaster for our country now as we look through the details of the bill we see just how right we were page after page of what amounts to nothing less than a charter for deregulation and a race to the bottom of the bill was published last month it takes time to have effective scrutiny over the sort of Prime Minister doesnt kid of a process about parliament or about the rule of law of m. P. s approve the Withdrawal Agreement itself Boris Johnson isnt ready to continue discussion without his timetable aunties shot it was dusty reports. Brecks it where is it being left no one really can answer that question but what i can tell you is that today there has been 2 crucial votes on breaks at the 1st one on the Withdrawal Agreement bill Boris Johnsons plans that actually went through with the majority of its the 2nd one thats potentially more controversial with the plans because that was all about the timetable to implement to get the largest legislation through parliament in time just 3 days was what the timetable had in place 1st johnson losing about one then and he said in fact he would decide to take a poll in the brics it process and stabbed putting the ball back in the court until we reach is what i was saying we would pull the legislation let me let me be clear let me be clear our policy remains that we should nor. That we should leave the. Job or the 31st. That is what i would say to the e. U. Im going to report back to her well it failed to go through for numerous reasons the key one being because it simply did not give m. P. s enough time to properly scrutinize and sift through the pages learn by law and they were handed the document very late last night and it was a 110 pages long to get all the legislation around it through in just 3 days time seems to be like a Monumental Task for many m. P. s and that simply is the reason why it was voted down and speaking directly also that defeat jeremy called in the leader of the opposition took to the floor and what he suggested is giving Boris Johnson olive branch saying actually lets pave a sensible way forward and look out reasonable extension early as the forest johnson said if it fell to go in his favor well he have pulled the whole bill entirely and thats something that he said in fact did go for a general election instead. Probably to a large group to have. Stood against its wind decides to delay everything until january and possibly longer in new circumstances cry most of the book will have to be pulled and we will have to go forward much as a writer we may not like it well have to go forward to a general election well much comparison has been made with Boris Johnson and his predecessor to reason may if we call some minds back to her in her premiership she was working with a majority of plus 10 and still fail to get have vision through parliament 3 times cut a long story short then if we look at barras johnson hes working with a majority of minus 45. 00 but today he managed to get support for his deal but the fact is his timetable didnt go through and that meant that Boris Johnson threatened a general election over his failed attempts which actually looks like hes taking a leaf out of tourism ace books the government should cool the general election to be held on the 8th of june they have a simple challenge to the opposition parties who have criticised the governments vision for brics it you have challenge your objectives you have threatened to block the legislation we put before parliament. This is your moment to show you beat it so this defeat on the Program Motion essentially 1st of all right back into the European Unions court and earlier today the European Commission president john produce he said that it has wasted enough time and energy and now is the time to simply move forward in order for it but according to donald tusk all eyes are on forest johnson in parliament as to see what they would then do next you should be ready for you. But while watching closely bickley is a search to try him in the. Shot so the. Whole deal drags it. Is so it looks like m. P. s ploughs the European Union where all running out of patience with breck set and Boris Johnsons plans if we take a look at the timeline its been 3 and a half years since that 2016 praxair referendum but as for today yes Boris Johnson got backing for his deal but he didnt get backing for the timeline essentially a press pass jonson between a rock and a hard place for milan the mayor Ken Livingstone things will be a long time before the government reaches any final agreement over bricks it with parliament tauruses lost more votes in just 3 months as a Prime Minister than any other Prime Minister now history was going to be many amendments to this legislation which is a very large bill 110. 00 pages covering the environment workers rights trade deals and so on and most probably even a amendment to say that once this act of parliament is passed only becomes law if a referendum means the british people support it so were not going to be out at the end of this month because this is going to go on for several weeks perhaps even towards the end of the year and no one can foretell where were going to end up in the government and the opposition need to green how long this act of parliament should be duplicated how many amendments would be put down but if boris doesnt agree hes just be like prince warfare going on we cant do we Facebook Says it has a plan to protect the next years us president ial election from for interference story and more after the break. One almost seems wrong. Just dont hold. Me. To shape our. Active. Engagement because the trail. Went on find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Thinks. We fear him to ask. Him. Pretty. Much the program facebooks going to flag state run media accounts on its platform as part of a bid to protect next years president ial election from foreign interference social networks also planning to combat in authentic behavior and make political adverts more transparent aunties ego stuff has more. It all comes from the best of intentions it seems sweep away trolls and other unholy creatures from under the facebook bridge except will team phase will really be able to tell right from wrong in the u. S. We have the benefit of a free press and because of that we think its especially important to call the media coming from any country around the world is acting as an organ of the government and no the free press Mark Zuckerberg is clearly implying that the free American Media on the one hand and government funded propaganda produces on the other what he forgets though is that the us has a whole governmental body with the millions of dollars in its coffers tasked with exactly that funding the major voice of america Radio Free Europe of the middle east Broadcasting Networks are just some of the outlets right there in the pocket of the u. S. Agency for global media or as it was formally and more well known of the. Facebook intentionally or not doesnt seem too eager to look at them this way and controversy doesnt end there these social network has never shied away from censoring what gets into your feed and what doesnt and it can really boast a sharpshooters track record with this tell me this have you ever had borsch you know the soup if not you should because its great its delicious and if yes you might be a victim of russian deception at least according to facebook it recently banned a page with some 40000 subscribers that was posting recipes of the Russian Institution i dont know whats more authentic than a russian posting about how to make beef stroganoff and yet facebook deems itself worthy of calling out inauthentic behavior over the last 3 years we worked identify new and emerging threats and remove gordon. Inauthentic behavior across all apps is part of our effort to counter foreign influence complaints this morning we removed 4 separate networks of accounts pages and groups and facebook and instagram for engaging in coordinated an authentic behavior 3 of them originated in the round and one in russian so one facebook makes a Statement Like this we want to help People Better understand the sources of news content they see on facebook so they can make informed decisions about what theyre reading it seems that the network itself needs some help understanding whats going on on its pages it could be said of facebook is not independent either because again facebook arguably is the dream by a particular agenda and when you look at the least of experts facebook. Call being in order to help determine the new policy. They pretty much made out of the use certain groups that are very well known for a very particular point of view mostly. Liberal extreme liberal and so on and so forth what the focus seem to be on is whether the organization can demonstrate to facebook independent editorial control thats a very difficult question i think or the very difficult thing to do some. Members of the u. S. Congress are calling for a regiment of Ukraines National Guard to be recognized as a terrorist organization so called as of button in the skins accused of being involved with White Supremacy movements in america are these double quarter takes a closer look at the apparent change of heart. And maybe yet another story of militants once friendly to the u. S. And now finding themselves on washingtons terror List Congress is urging the state department to do so with the as of battalion and 2 other the far right Paramilitary Groups while the subcommittee leading the charge is looking for support on both sides of the political spectrum im baffled as to why my republican colleagues have refused to sign on to this not only on as of Italian National action and Nordic Resistance Movement directly connected to inspiring attacks in the homeland they direct purveyors of anti semitic ideologies that inspire attacks against jews the state department has yet to respond but their contemplation is understandable given they fought washingtons battles in the past but these guys are not your everyday soldiers. These neo nazis were supposed to be confined to the imagination of russian propagandists so why the sudden 180 well washington was only fine with them when they were all the way in far away ukraine and those guys have since come to the us remember this. Nation was in shock such a large gathering of the extreme right a protester killed but there were other events lurking in. Background that got barely any Media Coverage the organizers of these right wing riots actually flew to ukraine and were trained by the azoff battalion on august 1st 2018 and Instagram User tagged right brand clothings account in a post containing a photograph of rise above Movement Members during their trip to germany ukraine and italy meeting with simone young the leader of the International Department for the National Corps which is a Political Party in the ukraine that was founded in 2016 out of a regiment of the Ukrainian Military called the azoff battalion only a year later a u. S. Soldier was charged with planning a terrorist attack he was planning to join you guessed it as of battalion smith was reported to have disseminated guidance on how to construct improvised explosive devices and to have spoken about his desire to travel to ukraine to fight with the ukraine based violent far right Paramilitary Group as of battalions once they come knocking on the us his door they become a lot scarier some of the more radical groups including these the ones with nazi ideology are not really happy with listers lenski and theyre putting a lot of pressure on him not to go forward with any kind of less status for the dorm boss any kind of reconciliation that would lead to an end of the law or in the standoff with the with russia show i dont know why suddenly the east congressmen who are by no means. Unsupportive of ukraine as a as a tool against russia and are not happy im sure with any kind of an issue for mr was a landscape why they would undermine people who up till now have been their allies in ukraine so there are a lot of paradoxes that. Cross that coming up in just a few moments the team and i back in half an hour there with the latest global news headlines. Facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark side. They are constructing a profile of you and that profile is a real its detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative Shopping Service over another and one candidate over another they can suppress certain types of results diced on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and Fair Election doesnt exist for the more we give them the sooner we are all. What politicians do. They put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and sure. Want to. Have to go right to the pros this is what them before 3 of them or 10 people that. Im interested in always in the waters in the. City. Hello and welcome to crossfire where all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle it seems that brags that psagot will never end the electorate voted to leave the European Union but the Political Class and media are resistant does the peoples voice mean anything anymore what is the legacy of bridges that institutions confidence in elites and the democratic process. Cross talking breaks that im joined by my guest we jasper in london hes a former deputy mayor of london also in london we have alexander macarius hes a writer on Legal Affairs as well as editor in chief of the duran dot com and in belfast we cross to david vance he is a political commentator as well as editor of news media dot net all right gentlemen crosslike rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it Alexander Lee ill go to you 1st i mean if i werent mistaken this could be a reality political reality show watching brags that ive been watching the house of commons you know and you know what there are some really eloquent people in there though most of time i dont have an any idea what theyre talking about here the people voted but were still not there and things are still in flux here what is what is the overall impact that brags it has had on political and social life in the u. K. I mean its going on 3 years now go ahead alex. Well well i think the 1st thing to say is that if you know talking about launch of country the country remains extremely calm but police equally created Intense Division and of course perhaps the most damaging thing is that hes draining away Political Energy from discussion of every other subject it is also translating into a major police. Cool and constitutional crisis right at the very center in westminster itself as a Political Class which found itself completely unprepared for this challenge and seems to lack the agility to rise to it has struggled to cope with it so we have a situation in britain where we seem to be at a kind of impasse with no very clear idea of how were going to find our way through and that of course is worrying because all kinds of other problems are piling up at the same time as people are becoming increasingly polarized and angry with each of them ok leave same question to you what is the overall impact to date of this entire process because as i said in my introduction the people were given a proposition and they voted on it ok and its incumbent upon the Political Class to. Fulfill the wishes of the people and its still not happening and you see road brought blocks left and right and Center Including i would say the speaker of the house of commons go ahead lee but i could nurture their reality is that the country is completely transfixed by this debate the reality is youre right there was a referendum on a vote but the simplistic nature of that debate has meant that nobody actually considered this sort of buys on time structure of complicated legal economic social cultural citizenship rights
