International 1st of great to have you company and of course december 26th is here now the Syrian Military is making significant gains we could report as it attempts to wrest control of the countrys final opposition on klav over the course of a week long ground offensive in southern italy province Government Forces reported to displace islam is fighters for around 40 villages but the campaign is causing concern in western capitals as a Senior Correspondent were gassed if explains been a while since i last had made Headline News its been everyone but him america selling out its allies and pilfering syrian oil. Bullying kurds claims of bias that the u. P. C. W. But no last until now. Thousands of syrians forced to abandon their homes and flee for their lives as hundreds of ground and air strikes hit the region of it late overnight something as a part of a new ground offensive by syrian Government Forces. Russian backed Government Forces up intensified their Bombing Campaign well of all out i will go to the camps near the Turkish Border to escape from 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. We want we want we want with do with al qaida. It live is ruled by a high at. Sharm an offshoot of al qaida h. G. s feeds on war and drinks violence it turned deadly into a cesspool of zealots and fanatics mercenaries and foreign jihad this sort of world war i mean the fact that egypt is where they found the founder of isis its the safest place you could fire and 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 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 you know. Under the supervision of the target and being killed by a bit of the issue here is refugees for now civilians have fled from the immediate war zone but they have to do somewhere and the safest place for now is north. Look 50000 people are once again coming from egypt 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 neatly province is in line with the policy goals set by Bashar Al Assad we aim is to liberate the entire territory of the Syrian Arab Republic that. It is their right to clear and to extend the. Sovereign the fear of the state. Is what theyre doing at present sooner or later i believe that the syrian army will expose these people from from being flippant from bent over the syrian territory and i dont think that it is this sort of pull 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. From says grown swell of popular anger right now over a controversial pension reform plan showing no sign of subsiding Something Else to worry about the new year looks like some peoples economic woes will get worse because the governments now proposing to introduce a bruising tax hike on the most polluting vehicles in order to try to keep up with tough new e. U. Targets reporting from paris about it and how its gone down. As president s 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 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 and its be true there is no other way to earn money. Everythings increasing in price nowadays and weve seen the whole country on strike the government can tax its citizens but eventually they will have no choice but to protest something in france you have to pay taxes are rising while salaries a stay in the same 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 bought new electric cars perhaps. Not great news for those who are thinking of buying one from 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 cars why not its a good we can use them in our country if the government helps us to buy electric cars why not but otherwise it prefer to drive my car even if it pollutes its not that bad and there are other concerns was many people say they want to be greener 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 if you dont we need to have enough places to recharge them in addition to Service Census is the same as with cyclings in germany were a long way behind we have to develop cycle lanes and we have to develop charging stations. Or the vehicles in front seem to be developed but thats not the case. Of one france even the president doesnt sound to 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 but even ski r. T. Paris just quick tip off with that story interests to do with your like this too late in the Program Police in britain have spent over a 1000000 pounds on electric cars with a critical scene read over it this is not fit for purpose well tell you what the problem is a couple of minutes from the. But not before weve done this. This must be top of the us democrats Christmas Wish list to see donald trump kicked out of the white surely but the president on the list is reported to be spending the holidays full of good cheer in a very good position ahead of a senate trial so with that in mind this is the season to be jolly. Taylor involved should know for a cheeky seasonal impeachment drinking game. Disclaimer if youre not 18 change channels and those 18 pluses out there 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 after all weve come up with a little bit of a libation based game pick a drink and settle it. 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 the wall then if politicians uncharacteristically locate their moral compass and decide no one is above the law center in no one is above the law President Trumps continued actions with the rule of law. In america no one is above the law we vote to defend the constitution in our democracy so that the President Trump and every future president will 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 bottle just joking thats never going to happen but for any republican who steps forward to defend his needa chill 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 memory impeachments hash tag 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 if said journalist is bitter 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. Letter you know friend primary objectives within the United States is just so as to foment unrest for their nation or 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 britain i did not have sexual relations or moves one 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 that we all know its unlikely to need anywhere i mean even donalds barely broke a sweat i dont feel like im being impeached and why would he 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 up a bit of a long shot maybe nancy pelosi and co need to finally recognize that shouting impeachment wont lose trump the election quite the opposite in fact it seems america actually quite nice this particular underdog probably why they chose him in the 1st place goodness that was exhausting my need to drink. So i ask you taylor there. Has been a sharp rise in the u. K. s weapons cells to serve the arabia and its Coalition Partners we can report over the last 5 years despite britain having signed up to a treaty designed to prevent arms exports to rights abuses the increase has been calculated by oxfam which says its deeply concerned right now over the way that weapons have been used in the conflict in yemen well according to the charity in the 5 years since the arms trade treaty came into force the u. K. s liason sells worth nearly 6 and a half 1000000000 pounds to 8 members of the Saudi Coalition contrast that the starts below it that the 5 years before the agreement was adopted london sold 4400000000 pounds worth of weapons to those countries now this arms trade treaty was adopted on Christmas Eve in 2014105 sovereign states ratified the accord of the further 33 signed up as well it regulates the arms trade in order to try to prevent human suffering and ensure weapons are not sold to those who violate human rights is the plan but then the British Government was also keen to stress its importance to. 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 ruth turner from oxfam told us that the increase in sales shows that britain isnt abiding by the very same treaty itself and. When the arms trade treaty came into effect the u. K. Where as a real champion of that treaty unfortunately sales to countries that we in yemen know piety to now or in yemen have actually increased and i think this is the signal that theyre. In yemen worlds worst humanitarian crisis right now and the u. K. And far from kind of living up to their treaty n and the word is that treaty has has continued to say how countries involved in a conflict where we know international and having no is has been disregarded. And so with pressure mounting the British Governments how to put arms sales to saudi arabia on hold for no in june the court of appeals said that they were unlawful a made without assessing if the gulf state had violated humanitarian law or not in yemen its expected the government will appeal the decision in the Supreme Court so the rebels intervention the Bigger Picture in yemen started in 2015 to fight whos the rebels who they see as terrorists or whether its the level of civilian casualties in the conflict that are a major cause of concern. So. Whose turner again says theres clear evidence riyadh has committed Human Rights Violations in yemen and that the u. K. Must therefore stop selling arms to the saudis. The evidence is really i have a well meaning and that theres been consistent violations of International Law and and as you say the case was really clear that. The government needed to you know if it was going to continue to license weapons had to be clear about whether there was a pattern of violation in that violation and it was clear that so i find that high that that system will be a palette and i think its. You know very sad that the government have had to try and chosen to appeal this decision and wish to continue to sell weapons that have been used in a war that is causing so untold poverty and harm and destruction for the people of yemen. To internationally more the news ahead as we kevin know any young eco activists in germany have had a dressing down of the party disrespecting their eldest brother with a bunch of the will about how after the break. Stacey are continuing on our south american tour and as you can see behind me we are in Rio De Janeiro so beautiful so much going on this is a country in transition. Im one who will ever argue that there are worthy and unworthy victims its also important to also distinguish the fact that whenever we have a crime. Of genocide and other cases of genocide thats that were talking about issues confronting it acknowledging it and injustice and reparations for it are important it is important to confront the crimes wherever they happen but it shouldnt be. You know. In this particular case of. Again coming up to midnight 20 this morning u. K. Police have been going green with the major spending drive on electric cars but it seems the eco ideas followed a bit flat explains next the vehicles are not quite up to speed in a few departments. Imagine being a criminal in london and 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 desired 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 lot of agencies and for Police Officials to travel around before they were being used in a 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 buddy 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 prague reaction clearly. Its all of the sub electric cars of prove there in effect in this in other countries in september police in the u. S. Were forced to give up a chase with suspected crooks when the battery in their 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. Well meantime were talking green a german a young peoples Environmental Group affiliated with eco activists gothenburg has caused outrage by insulting the older generation on social media let me tell you about birth fridays for future germany posted a tweet saying why do our grandparents keep lecturing us every year will be gone soon well whether they were being silly or simply 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 is 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 not only during christmas off the backlash the activists issued an apology saying it was meant as a joke Julio Riviera from their reaction times opinion website thinks that in any case some of the claims in the climate debate are somewhat over exaggerated he thinks. This type of rhetoric in these types of tweets and you know did only really resonates with the frenzy far out reaches of the Environmental Movement within the or maybe other 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 climate on the arm ism 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 environmentalists and all of their crazy predictions over the past 3040 years i mean if they were true manhattan right now would be underwater all of you that thought thats it so far from us internationally or mosco mortality theyll call more in a social media im kevin 0 in for me and the rest the team on g 2 right now this Early Morning 26 december thanks so much and stay with us for next programs and if youre still celebrating it big seasons greetings to you right now. So weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this scary Dramatic Development the only thing im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. In a world of big part of the law and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need. Need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Im not one who will ever argue that there are worthy and unworthy victims its also important to also distinguish the fact that whenever we have a crime the norm of the army and genocide and other cases of genocide thats that were talking about the issues of confronting it because all the doing it and injustice and reparations for it are important it is important to confront the crimes wherever they happen but it shouldnt be means to dilute you know the experience of.
