Russian backed Government Forces of intensified the Bombing Campaign while of all out i will go to the camps near the Turkish Border to escape from us and rockets the Syrian Military has been a bit of a role capturing a slew of villages and towns and media days of course whenever that happens the media and his opponents exploded in outrage same thing every time we want a peaceful resolution we want talks we want a ceasefire we want we want we want with do with al qaida. It live is ruled by a high at the sharm an offshoot of the h. G. s feeds on war and drinks violence it turned deadly into a cesspool of zealots and fanatics mercenaries and foreign jihad just on a world tour i mean the fact that egypt is where they found the founder of isis its the safest place you could find kind of gives it away and h. T. S. Refuses any negotiation with the Syrian Government are you seeing the issue here how do you get a peaceful resolution when one of the biliteral its is a homicidal maniac that just wants to cut your head off in the name of god or interest lies in killing the terrorist in order to protect the civilians not leaving those civilians. Under the supervision order and being killed by bit of the issue here is refugees for now civilians have fled from the immediate war zone but they have to do somewhere in the safest place for now is north. Look 50000 people are once again coming from live to our lands we already have 4000000 people and now another 50000 are coming and this main crease even further russian and turkish diplomats are in overdrive trying to manage whats happening and prepare for whats to come it is absolutely clear that the status quo is over america selling out its allies and camping out in oil fields turkey diluting kurdish territories with arab refugees and now the last islamist stronghold if it falls it will mean the end of the Syrian Civil War it will mean asaad wins. The military operation in needly province is in line with the policy goals set by Bashar Al Assad if we aim is to liberate the entire territory of the syrian arab republic. It is their right to clear and to extend the. Sovereign the fear of state in days. Off their territory in peace is what theyre doing at present sooner or later i believe that the syrian army will expose these people from from being flippant from venkat of syrian territory and i dont think that it is the stoppable from mali it may be difficult it may take some time but sooner or later they are going to be expelled from from the syrian territory understandably those who spent billions fled in syria with weapons and ammo with fighters and propaganda they dont want that to happen so certainly logical for them to insist on impossible talks so long as hes wasting his time waiting for the other side to pick up the phone the turks can continue colonizing Northern Syria the americans can continue pumping out its oil were now at the last domino and its. Already fall. With a National Strike in france against Pension Reforms heading for its 3rd week people there are facing another crackdown a bruising tax hike on the most polluting vehicles to meet tough targets reporting next from paris who shot to do better. As presents are being rocked from under the Christmas Tree is the french government has given its citizens a gift that they may want to return its past a new law to increase taxes on s. U. V. S and trucks meaning that vehicles that pollute the most will pay you more from 2020 the new pollution tax will come with a 20000. 00 euro price tag thats up from the current 12. 00 and a half 1000 you raise its no doubt that s. U. V. S are heavy polluters but despite that they are still popular in france making up some 30 percent of sales in the 1st 11 months and 2019 so want to drive us in paris make of the tax hike even a. Its true that those vehicles consume a lot but people have to get around people who work every day when they need those types of vehicles for war its be true there is no other way to earn money. Everythings youre missing the price now it is and weve seen the whole country on strike and the government can tax its citizens but eventually they will have no choice but to protest. In france you have to pay taxes are rising while salaries are staying the same the new tax comes on top of already tough new measures are to european level to lower car emissions many governments are pushing people in the direction of electric cars which is seen as being greener and better for the environment but at the same time the french government is actually considering reducing Cash Incentives for new electric cars perhaps not great news for those who are thinking of buying one but also plans to ban fossil fuel cars within the next 20 years. In paris they could be banned in the next 10 years so do people here feel that they are being pushed by higher taxes vehicles that use traditional fuel towards electric cars. Its a natural progression that was seen one which will lead to more and more electric cars. Electric car structure why not its a good we can use them in our country and if the government helps us to buy electric cars why not but otherwise its referred to drive my car for even if it pollutes its not that bad and there are other concerns was many people say they want to be green charging points for electric vehicles are still not widespread while still in paris there are plenty of around the city elsewhere thats not always the case before like you dont we need to have enough places to recharge them in addition to Service Center is the same as with psych lanes in germany were a long way behind we have to develop cycle lanes and we have to develop charging stations when the. Vacancy front seem to be developed its not like with one throngs even the president doesnt set a good example travels by car while we travel by food by bicycle by scooter so it seems there are still many mental barriers for people even thinking about buying electric cars but as the cost of taxes on fossil fuel vehicles are set to steeply roys they may feel that there is no other choice. Altie paris. Hitting the road in the u. K. Police vera going green with a major splurge on electric cars but explains the vehicles arent quite up to speed. Imagine being a criminal in london you have c. C. T. V. Numberplate detectors Police Patrols and more to keep the peace if you need to escape the police it might not be the easiest thing to do but one thing might be working in criminals favor increasingly Police Forces are adopting the use of electric cars and that means they may not be able to keep up with. Vehicles that are less damaging to the environment are struggling to cope with the arduous needs of Emergency Service autonomous driving and Safety Systems are not conducive to pursuit or response driving and even if the electric police cars could keep up they might not last very long because the batteries they use would soon run out plug in electric cars do not have adequate range and they take too long to charge up which is a significant challenge the motivation behind the deployment of these cars is desire by the police to be more eco friendly figures from 30 Police Forces across the country show that 448 green vehicles have been leased or bought by the police at a cost of around a 1000000. 00 and a half pounds but now its being reported that the vehicles are only being used for not of agencies and for Police Officials to travel around before they were being used in. Patrol situations and the metropolitan police have set themselves and im bishop target to cut all of their vehicle emissions to 0 by 2050 a politician should be checking always. Ensure the public has body for money because truly the money is very much needed are in place also has across the country to. Share with all all sorts of crime she just always had to improve and. Credential or start to be a strange not citizen poll for heights. All reaction. Cards have proved there in effect in this in other countries in september police in the us were forced to give up the chase with suspected crooks in the back tesla Police Vehicle went dead British Police are making a noble effort in the war on Climate Change but the cost could be a price to pay in the war on crime sally r. T. Theres been a sharp rise in british weapons sales to saudi arabia and its Coalition Partners over the last 5 years despite adopting a treaty meant to regulate trade that could violate human rights the increase has been calculated by the british humanitarian Charity Oxfam which is deeply concerned over the way u. K. Made weapons were used in the conflict in yemen according to oxfam in the last 5 years since the arms trade treaty came into force the u. K. License sales worth in the 6 and a half 1000000000 pounds to 8 members of the Saudi Coalition in the years before the accord was adopted though it amounted to just under 4 and a half 1000000000 and the arms trade treaty itself was adopted on Christmas Eve back in 2014 it was ratified by 105 sovereign states a further 33 signed up to it as well it regulates the arms trade in order to prevent human suffering and ensure that weapons are not sold to those who violate human rights but then the British Government was also keen to stress its importance. The a. T. T. Is the only legally binding treaty regulating and promoting legitimate and responsible trade in conventional arms it remains a unique and valuable instrument 6 months ago the British Government had to put arms sales to saudi arabia on hold the court of appeal said they were unlawful and made without assessing whether the gold stated violated humanitarian law in yemen its expected that the governments going to appeal that decision in the Supremes Court next year and saudi arabias intervention in yemen started in 2015 to fight who the rebels who they see as terrorist however its the level of civilian casualties in the conflict that is the major cause of concern. Absalom told us that theres clear evidence of violations in yemen and says the u. K. Must stop selling arms to the saudis. There is hoffas many more weapons been so after the arms trade treaty to saudi and the kindest upon is there was before i think this has been a sake know that the u. K. From kind of living up to the treaty and the word is that treaty the evidence is really i have a well meaning that there has been consistent violations of International Law and the case was really clear that the government was going to continue to license weapons had to be clear about what that there was a pattern of violation and that violation was clear that so i very much hyped that decision will be upheld and i think its very sad that the government have chosen to appeal this decision and wish to continue to sell weapons that have been used in a war that is causing untold poverty and homme and destruction fed the people of yemen coming out this Christmas Day on our 2 young eco activists in germany have had a dressing down after getting cheeky with the elders well tell you all about that among our stories after the break. Same hammer i can use to smash someones head is the same hammer i can use to build them a home but thats a human choosing what to do with thats me expressing my values for the tool and thats what we need to do with Artificial Intelligence as well. Join me every thursday on the alex simon shill and ill be speaking to give us a little the politics sports business im show business ill see you then. Seemed wrong why dont we all just dont call. Me to get to shape out this day become educated and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Hello again i must be top of the us democrats Christmas Wish list to see donald trump kicked out of the white house but the president himself seems to be spending the holidays a full of good cheer insisting that hes in a very good position the head of his senate trial without a mind to invite you now for a cheeky season of impeachment drinking. Disclaimer if youre not 18 change channels and those 18 pluses out drink responsibly 3 months ago 3 long months ago the impeachment inquiry against donald trump was announced and now the house of representatives a say in my go for a double whammy and impeach trump for a 2nd time if more evidence comes to light so since were clearly in it for a while yet and its christmas off to roll weve come up with a little bit of a libation based game pick a drink. So lets lay down the rules if ok when trump takes a swipe at knotts pelosi all says that its all a witch hunt bottoms up but slow and steady wins the race lets make it a half he does that a lot off to war then if politicians on characteristic can locate their moral compass and decide no one is above the law. No one is above the law President Trumps continued actions but the rule of law is that america no one is above the law we vote to defend the constitution and our democracy so that the President Trump and every future president would know that they are not above the law now the stakes if the republican admits the troubles may be probably protect you just a little bit naughty drain that just joking thats never going to happen but for any republican who steps forward to defend his need to it is because if that has been one moment of clarity in this whole saga its about 2 camps if you blew your about the merry impeachments hashtag if youll read youll probably be reporting the hash tag and seeing red ok so if a journalist got a bit tipsy at the Christmas Party and betrayed the oath of objectivity sally looked and said journalist is better and thinks that writing trump equals bad articles is a good cover for his bias so im take a and before i forget if anything to do with mother russia sneaks a mention. That might be the one to tip you over the. Ladder you know drops friend primary objectives within the United States or so as to foment unrest for their nation there are t. Is putins Propaganda Machine here in the United States i think youve got the gist but in case you were in any doubt any mention of a quid pro quo its a simple question yes or no i dont recall bribery business i did not have sexual relations or. Long speech meant but seriously i wasnt joking about the dems gunning for a 2nd impeachment if that is. They managed to wring out evidence suggesting that trump somehow obstructed the investigation but we all know its unlikely to need anywhere i mean even donalds barely broken a sweat i dont feel like im being impeached and why would he be sure the democrat controlled house of representatives can pass as many impeachment articles as they want but the Senate Also Needs to sign off on booting the president from the white house and the senate is currently controlled by the republicans making not a bit of a long shot maybe not need to finally recognize that shouting impeachment wont lose trump the election quite the opposite in fact it seems america actually quite likes this particular underdog probably why they chose him in the 1st place goodness that was exhausting my need to drink. Thanks to German Environmental Group affiliated with eco activists gratitude caused outrage by insulting the older generation on social media the youth group of fridays for future germany posted a tweet saying why do our grandparents keep lecturing us every year they will soon be gone whether they were being silly or sinister german politicians including the Environment Ministry were quick to fire back i dont think you are doing yourself any favors with this tweet you cant go crazy every time you get any criticism and constantly demand more respect then throw a tantrum it undermines your legitimate concerns climate protection is everyones concern and its a social duty for every generation. Tasteless and glad that the majority of young people in germany do not think this way we must be respectful to other generations and that only during Christmas Well after the backlash the activists issued an apology that said it was meant to be a joke rivera from the reactionary times opinion website thinks that in any case some of the arguments in the climate debate are somewhat overblown. This type of rhetoric in these types of tweets and you know did only really resonate with the frenzy far out reaches of the Environmental Movement within their menial their climate you know induced media they really truly believe that having too many humans on earth is going to lead to a catastrophic apocalypse which is absolutely ridiculous because the evidence just doesnt support that narrative i mean on the armys own you know created a superstar out of gratitude and theyre going to create more superstars in 2020 and its only going to get worse but thats unfortunately the ignorance of youth if we believed all of these environment environmentalist and all of their crazy predictions over the past 3040 years i mean if this were true manhattan right now would be underwater.
