And we start with some breaking news from germany 8 people have been killed in 2 drive by shootings in the town of her now to the east of francos 5 are those are critically injured according to police shots were fired from a car to shisha bars one in the center of the town and one on the outskirts the suspects fled the scene and a manhunt is ongoing as a heavy Police Presence in both areas with helicopter patrols will keep you updated as the information comes in. I live in turkey now where the turkish president says its only a matter of time before we launch is a military operation in the syrian province of it live in claims hes been dissatisfied by talks with russia on the situation there. It is resolved to go. To q. Has made all kinds of preparations to implement its Operational Plan and it works as in every operation we see we can come suddenly one night to put it more clearly operation is now a matter of time we will not leave to the regime that still does not understand our countrys determination in this matter and to those who encourage it we never intend to shoulder the burden that the developments of this region we place on our country the syrian army is currently on an offensive in trying to drive out armed militants and islamists moscows those turkey has failed to separate the moderate opposition from terrorists there in what is the last remaining pockets of militants in the country but it shows a Turkish Military convoy crossing the Syrian Border and a large line of tanks Armored Vehicles and supply trucks are reportedly moving towards the outskirts of it but we have a national told neil harvey how this sudden escalation occurred. The situation on the ground remains very dramatic terrorist activity there is very high and you have to remember its a boss to region in syrias north home to up to 3000000 people including civilians and theyre very often used by terrorist as a human shield its clear for everybody that actions are needed urgently to protect these people from the other hand the attacks by turkey backed armed forces based in eclipse against the syrian army continue and this also should be stopped and countering that is something what damascus military operation on the ground in basically a ad and its not that mr air of the gun is not happy with how things develop on the ground no one is in fact happy if no one. Is to blame for the situation thats a very good question but it depends on who you ask both sides are blaming each other we hear from russia and its position is quite clear remains the same the Turkish Military operation on the syrian soil its another state you have to remember that would be the worst Case Scenario and we heard that from president spokesperson earlier on wednesday Dmitry Peskov and russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov also commented on mr gun statement in the similar way. To separate militants from terrorists in the timeframe on the 2018 agreement at the same time provocations from the. Shilling of the Syrian Armed Forces civilian targets and the russians have continued naturally the Syrian Armed Forces reaffirming their commitment to the original grievance including cease fire agreements respond to such an acceptable provocations and we support them in this what mr lavrov is talking about is last years sochi agreement that turkey and russia came to this is when both sides were equally happy and satisfied and according to these agreements its turkish responsibility too i repeated again to separate socalled like hard line to. Erisa islam is based in live and socalled moderate opposition and talk to them and to force them believe mean of these area and it hasnt been done properly it hasnt been achieved never so its in turkey it is turkish responsibility so turkey is failing 1st the russian standpoint how the turkey see the situation well turkey is very clear turkey is accusing most and damascus of escalating the situation of. Agreements and this is turkish president just recently. The Syrian Regime as well as the Russian Forces and iran backed militants acting with them and the globe are continuously attacking civilians committing massacres and causing bloodshed. And we hear that despite numerous talks that turkish and russian sides have been having in the last days including between foreign and defense minister is so its really interesting why the ground change so dramatically hes raster a good tweet can remember that somehow ironically coincide with a dramatic shift in ankara washington relations with sanctions lifted with mr paul as the police say that america is ready to stand by its nato ally and mr trump openly and directly backing of the guns actions in syria had a very good job or say shit with president carter was i respect him we have a very Good Relationship yes i agree with that but we have a very Good Relationship i see do better with the people but the fact is that hes fighting audit he doesnt want people to be killed by the thousands and hundreds of thousands of the gobi about that is one of the reasons but we spoke about it live and were working together on what you mean so here is something new for mr trump for mr theyre gone both america and turkey changed their raft the rick and its not helping things on the ground the u. S. And russia have stopped opposing views on how to tackle the humanitarian crisis in italy and voice from the 2 countries traded accusations at a u. N. Security Council Session a few hours ago. Its like the end of the world breaking point babies freezing to death amid it led push these people are begging the world to listen to their plight and so i ask how much longer will we tolerate these headlines. Recall the United Nations Security Council meetings called that often when militants were marching towards damascus with the full backing of some western states playing the card of suffering civilians and a longstanding truce every time your cherished terrorists come under threat candidly it is a marvel to me that our russian colleagues can speak of ceasefires and Political Solutions in this chamber with a straight face when their own were planes have struck hospitals and the homes of children how can i respond to your accusations of the killing of the civilian population whatever i would say you dont listen you keep talking about targeted bombings of schools hospitals and refugee camps and what hard wouldnt that find a response thats a win win technique who will try to decode it whether its true or not they director of the u. K. s Crisis Research institute month almost believe Syrian Refugees will pay the price if there is further escalation. To draw russia and turkey into a war because the Russian Force is on the side of the syrians in combating the local rebels and turkey has intervened would clearly be taking the side of the rebels and in order to do that it would have to provide protection for its forces from the air it would have to use its own air force its own antiaircraft missiles which would put at risk russian airplanes we will be back if you like to the crisis situation of 2015 when the turks shot down a russian aircraft. So its potentially very dangerous situation even if we dont go that far thats the worst case even if we just get to a case where the Turkish Forces increase artillery bombardment of the syrians the situation on the ground which is often discussed as a humanitarian crisis. Will get worse for the refugees because theyll be trapped between 2 lines of far rather than just one so. Very very messy situation and i think president of the worms rather capricious personality is really the unknown factor is he just barking or would he bite and if he is going to bite then the risk of the inspiring out of control is really the. Meanwhile in the syrian city of aleppo the 1st passenger plane in 8 years has touched down at the local airports this comes just days after it was announced the city had been cleared of militants an airbus a 320 flew in from damascus carrying syrian officials along with journalists civilian flights were halted back in 2012 when militants took over most of the city. The french president has vowed to end what he calls islamic separatism in some parts of france Emmanuel Mccraw paid a visit to the east of the country ahead of next months local elections so do bensky reports from paris. It was a long awaited speech from president outlining how his presidency will rally against political islam. We can advance in a credible way to fight against a political ideology this islam is separatism which is incompatible with freedom and equality incompatible with the indivisibility of the republic and the necessary unity of the nation 1st in the firing line is foreign interference corn has vowed to end a program that allows countries such as old jewry and turkey to send moms and teachers here to provide Services Without supervision this scheme in place since the 1970 s. Allows those foreigners to provide language and cultural lessons to help children maintain a link with their country of origin around some 80000 children attend these classes every year. Im not comfortable with the idea of having women in many schools of the republic who can teach without the Education System exercising the slightest control and we no longer have control over the programs they teach you cannot teach things that it clearly not compatible either with the laws of the republic or with history as we see it instead mark on wants to have more trained on french soil that would also be an end to the hundreds of additional religious leaders who arrive in france during ramadan mosques will be funded in a transparent way we need to know where the money is coming from who uses it and why he said interesting lead this echoes a policy from his political rival Marine Le Pen during that head to head in 2017 per mandate said this. Koos 0 extremist mosques identified by the ministry of interior and drug abuse foreign funding places of worship and. Strong words coming from the president or is it ringback just a last ditch attempt to woo voters ahead of difficult local elections in just a few weeks well i think what michael is trying to do is to shore up his position with the right wing electorate but also with some of the left of course the question of the. Secular state in france is important right across the board. Relationship with parties on both sides of the spectrum. Is important and he needs to make this sort of statement of municipal elections neutering those voters could be a double edged sword france is home to europes largest Muslim Community there are said to be around 6000000 here thats about 8 percent of the population and back in 2017 this Community Overwhelmingly voted for president hes already showing that hes moved away from those centrist ideologies that he once espoused when he outlined a tough stance on immigration another policy direct from the playbook of the pen so by grasping at ideas that some see as being from the hard right wing is he likely to lose voters from the left and from muslims but there are some areas fronts particularly some local municipalities some towns in areas where this is a concern for french voters and so what is doing the context what it is is to try to reassure all that where there are law muslim communities migrant muslim communities that the republicans still there which is asserting the values of the secular republic head of the election whether that will succeed or not remains to be seen in the in u. A lot dont look like theyre working. For you next months elections are seen as being a referendum on macaroons presidency and on his party on the move could they signal the beginning of the end of much criticism charlotte di vinci otty paris. While on a trip to brussels the u. S. House of representatives speakers warn e. U. Allies against war are way nancy pelosi insists the chinese tech giant is a major threat to security and should be barred from developing 5 g. Networks in europe which could be used for spying but she failed to mention americas own far reaching Global Surveillance Network and scale of more pics planes.

S. House of representatives is urging European Countries to drop plans to use while away as their 5 g. Carrier for the benefit of a few corporations you cannot sell the privacy of the people of your country down the river as i said before its like having the state police write the Chinese State police right in your pocket you see nancy pelosi just cares about your privacy odd that shes one of what Edward Snowden called the gang of 8 key figures that are overseeing surveillance in the United States is for snowden he did and there on the in the in disagreement with you he did violate the law in terms. Of for leasing those documents we dont know. Any. Odd timing as well its just been revealed that the cia was the secret owner of a Swiss Company that was offering people encrypt peoples privacy was compromised because the cia had a backdoor what the u. S. Government speculates that china might be doing they have been caught doing themselves while the e. U. Might be more apt to listen to a top democrat then to the donald it seems they still arent buying nancys song and dance her euro 2 were is a flop. While he will be able to continue in france and will not be excluded from flying we will send to such numbers restrictions to protect themselves and so we decided to ask people what they think of this supposed danger of china spying on them are they more afraid of china spying on them or the American Progress or us and im not so much worried about. China im worried about anybody having access to our data to be more. Ready to spy on you didnt the chinese it could come from anywhere in the world over us. Can you would guess just the us given say the alignment of interest from over the us probably you know well the us as far as im concerned. Can go to hell dont know trump along with its a common pattern of Human Behavior Sigmund Freud called it for objection nothing drives us crazy or thinking that someone else might be doing that naughty thing that we know we are doing ourselves a little up and artsy new york meanwhile the u. S. State department as well as again called on e. U. Countries to shun the chinese tech giant weiwei in favor of 5 g. Equipment by Ericsson Nokia and suns sun on shes been both got reaction from while way usa you can watch the full interview on the website dot com but heres a taste i know it was interesting the u. S. Government says that they declassified the information so we welcome the opportunity to see what the evidence is but we really have to look at this in the broader context of the ongoing geo political dynamic between the u. S. And china the u. S. Has some major issues with china and right now the u. S. Wants to hurt china so badly that theyre going to hurt america in trying to her way and thats really a shame you look back some years ago when i brought snowden revealed information about the u. S. Program prism and about the 5 Year Campaign of the u. S. Government to spy on operation shop joint where they monitored all why not work for 5 years and could not find any Improper Communications and in the Prison Program they found that the u. S. Government used for example cisco equipment to spy around the world most recently the Washington Post crypto a. G. T. A Swiss Company that turned out is controlled by the cia so theyve been monitoring encrypted communications of all the countries in the world except for china and russia so the fact. It is it is important to recognize the role of the equipment vendors and the telecom of mobile operators there is a lawful back door by the telecom the mobile operators that is triggered by lawful action by governments such as the Us Government of china government we dont have that access we dont control that data. So if a new allegations have emerged in the extradition trial of julian a sons we have that story and more coming up after the break. Seemed wrong. But i. Just dont. Get to shape out these days as a kid and it. Equals betrayal. When something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. What holds if you should. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Some want. To be right. This is what. Real people. Interested why. They should.

A lawyer for Julian Assange has apparently claimed that donald trump of the 2 pardon the wiki leaks founder on certain conditions thats according to british media reports citing a Court Testimony is the army has the details. Wiki leaks founder Julian Assange extradition hearing is looming and in the run up to that the media have found what they consider to be breaking scooping News Headlines breaking news here all over the internet and in london with outlets such as the guardian and the daily beast claiming that u. S. President donald trump offered mr assigns. A pardon if he said that russia wasnt involved in the hacking of Democratic Party emails in 2016 and this is based on words spoken by mr. Edward fitzgerald in courts where he referenced a witness statement claiming that u. S. Republican congressman Dana Rohrabacher had visited mr assad in 2017 claiming to carry such a message from the president mr rohrabacher going to see mr assange is insane instructions from the president he was offering a pardon or some other way out if mr saunders said russia had nothing to do with the d. N. C. Leaks now even though both publications reproduced mr fitzgeralds quote they treat the idea that russia did have those d. N. C. Emails as fact even though the f. B. I. s Robert Mueller who investigated this eventually had to drop all of his lines of inquiry because simply everything collapsed under the weight of there being no evidence for any russian collusion whatsoever now the congressman did visit mr songe in 28 scene but he says that while there the wiki leaks founder showed him definitive proof that russia was in no way involved in the leaking of those d. N. C. Emails and the white house to theyve been quick to deny any such suggestion that they offered this type of pardon to mr songe. The president barely knows down the road as in his next congressman hes never spoken to him on the subject almost any subject it is a complete fabrication and a total lie this is probably enough the never ending hoax and total lie from the d. N. C. In any case not long off the congressman rock baka had met with mr sun in the embassy the u. S. Decides to slot mr songe with a number of indictments and now hes awaiting his i should issue the hearing hes in a prison at belmarsh where his health is said to be deteriorating he could face 175 years in an american prison which critics say is just an attempt by the u. S. To try to deter any of the journalists from trying to expose their wrong to and on the world stage. Join us again the top of the hour for the latest. This 10 year period of 0 money velocity or money has gone directly into the pockets of the few oligarchs in countries the doors of america and around the world in these silos like these 125200 1000000. 00 properties when they when the infrastructure for that starts to crack and illiquid he starts to see balance you get inflation for real for stuff like food and were seeing this happen now where people are noticing that the cost of every day living is starting to spike higher.

This is the one business show you cant afford to miss im christiane and im going to board washington coming up the Federal Reserve on wednesday release their minutes of their january meeting but what happens the central bank decided to take will break down the feds moves and how its close choosing to react to global instability what wall way has walked the case in court relating to the purchases of its products but how will the Embattled Telecom giant fare Going Forward will analyze the future of our view across the globe. In that region. And. Europe. And later the u. S. Has sanctioned russian oil giant ross now as the nation has ramped up its effort against venezuela well do a deep dive into the penalties and what it means for the petro sector. Today so lets go and dive right in. The federal open Market Committee released edited minutes from his january meeting during which policymakers voted to keep Interest Rates unchanged between 1. 51 and 3 quarter percent. Pollen now says that the u. S. Economy remains in quote a very good place after 3 rate cuts last year to keep the expansion running 2 of the most dangerous threats to the global group growth had been removed as china and the us signed phase one of the bridge that uncertainty has lifted but now the new threat will be the effects of a call a virus and how long that will last. Traders and investors now want more details on the feds plans to wrap up its Balance Sheet expansion specifically how and when that will happen without speaking the markets so to help us answer that we welcome author of fed up and former fed insider danielle. So danielle this is the really the big question of the day right now beyond the Balance Sheet Everything Else expects and is expected to be quite unremarkable so how and when will the fed taper Treasury Bill purchases because if they suddenly the liquidity just isnt there anymore that really whats with the market and bring us right back to square one you know it really does and the fed has backed itself into a corner with the moves that its made i hear that the willingness and i hear the desire on the part of policymakers to rein this in but i dont think the markets going to allow it just because every single day it pushes the fed further out on the spectrum and the fed is saying april the minutes reiterated april we will have to see you know if we get through tax season and the fed is truly able to unplugged this because to me its a monster of their own making. You know we want to move to the outlook for inflation and employment here right now inflation is steady on the low side with personal consumption rising just 1. 6 percent in 2019 despite the jobless rate ending the year at a 50 year low now does the fed intend to return inflation back to 2 percent.
