Broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our Team International im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us syrian militants backed by Turkish Forces have launched an offensive against the syrian army in the province but they were pushed back by russian airstrikes after he was gone off has more on the developments. Basically what happened terrorist factions launched an offensive on the Syrian Forces who were holding one of the villages a village in that Northeastern Province a very large scale offensive supported by artillery strikes by the turkish army so that offensive or that was of such scale that the troops of syrian troops on the ground could not withstand it on their own so the ask the Russian Air Force to help out so it did but again that offensive that terrorist offensive was supported by turkish artillery so moscow had to intervene and reach out directly to ankara and ask them to stop the support to prevent militants from moving deeper into syria into the 24 aircraft of the Russian Air Force at the request of the syrian command have carried out air strikes against the dancing armed groups this allowed the syrian troops to successful the ripple all attacks the Turkish Ministry of defense has confirmed that 2 of its soldiers have been killed as a result of the airstrikes and 5 more wounded now it is not clear yet who fired those deadly rounds or what were the those Russian Air Force or the Syrian Air Force but still the situation is very very explosive given that now 3 independent 3 sovereign states have been engaged in a skirmish effectively in a deadly skirmish in one of those states being a nato ally as well its been a rapid escalation hasnt it just over the last day or so how did it reach this point well essentially turkey has been very vocal about the situation in libya and the turkish president earlier one has been telling syrians to get out of italy to move out of that province behind the troops line that had been preagreed back. Hes been the one who has been giving deadlines to the syrian army by the end of february then really never going on the. Demand and saying that there is no deadline they should move immediately or the attack or the turkish attack would be imminent. The operation is imminent in particular we will not leave it to the regime which is not yet understood our countrys determination on this issue and those who are encouraging it refuted to making it live a safe place for both turkey and the people of the region at all costs. Well it seems the push has come to shove now in that syrian province and interestingly turkey has been encouraged from abroad it has been encouraged by its main nato ally the United States theyve been sort of cheering anchor and saying that they are all along standing by their nato ally also literally hours before the advance whether or not it is a coincidence we dont know but an official nato twitter account an International Twitter account posted a promo video saying that we are nato and thats in turkish language now russia has been all along saying that turkey has failed to deliver on its key promise ankara being. One of the guarantors of the Peace Process in libya has been tasked with delivering a clear distinction between radical hardline jihadists and those groups who are ready to engage in dialogue and sit behind a table and talk to the Syrian Government and russia has been saying that ankara has failed to deliver on this key promise and key tasks so well certainly have a look whether this this mess in todays maisonette live will see all sides back at the negotiating table. Meanwhile a spokesman for the u. S. Military has said terrorists in italy but province pose a growing threat although antiwar activist brian becker says those are the same terrorists who turkey is now supporting. Elite private seems to be a magnet for terrorists groups all of them are nuisance minnes and a threat to the civilians turkey as a guarantor along with russia and iran for the syrian Peace Process said very firmly it committed itself to help bring that to the clashes and the in the Armed Struggle it led to an end its done just the opposite it has escalated purkis military pursuing its own National Interests or perceived National Interest is using proxy forces or extremist jihadi forces in the northern part of syria to carry out its own military designs and to create what they hope to be a Permanent Military presence for turkey in that border region and in lip in particular the Syrian Government will not allow that to happen and unless turkey pulls back i could see the possibility in fact the probability of an escalating clash between the 2. Cities in germany have held vigils for the 9 victims of wednesday nights shooting in the west of the country the suspected attacker is believed to have had racist motives 5 of the victims were turkish nationals arties bitter over has details to vigils have been taking place here in the german capital in response to the killings in the western city of now at the Brandenburg Gate that iconic symbol here in the center of berlin we saw people forming a human chain in solidarity with the people of haiti now also at another location in the city people saying that theyve come out on to the streets against racism and semitism and right wing terrorism theres also been a vigil taking place in the city where this incident took place from full to steinmeyer the german president who was in attendance there have been other politicians out and about at various events that have been taking place on thursday evening 9. People were killed 2 separate locations 2 she shipyards in the western city of head now not far from the major city of frankfurt if 42 year old man who is believed to be the main suspect was later found dead at his home alongside his 72 year old mother eyewitnesses who were there when the shootings took place that she should bars have described the scenes and what they saw and heard dont have such as you heard things like heard gunshots then i ran out and looked in the direction of the she should bar i couldnt see anything i mean that the doors were open and people were running out of the other restaurants i heard from my neighbor that someone was shooting at the restaurant around back and told my guests to stay away from the window. I walked with my 2 little kids. Who pulled the shooting began through actually 100 meters from the place when i went up stairs i heard 5 to 7 gunshots. You know i came home at half past 9 parked my car and went upstairs we watch some t. V. Then my wife said there was a helicopter hovering overhead and i thought whats the matter we waited a little and then looked out the roof window and saw a large group of Police Officers about 25 of them with about 20 vehicles and they surrounded the house it was a strange thing to see all of the attorney general is investigating links to right wing extremism in this case thats after a 24 page manifesto was found in the possession of the main suspect in that manifesto he talks about hatred of foreigners and non white people he talks about the extermination of certain nations in north africa or in the middle east and in central asia its riddled with racist tropes as well as d being full of a far right ideology searches things like eugenics theres also a video that emerged that was published just a few days ago from this man this. 42 year old german man who is the main suspect in the shooting in the shootings in this video which gives no clue that he may have been preparing to take it to carry out this attack he speaks in english its understood its being directed towards a u. S. Audience and its full of constancy theories really. What we have seen though is a number of politicians coming out in condemnation of this attack also the german chancellor Angela Merkel saying that there would be a full investigation and no stone would be left unturned. Its too early to give a conclusive assessment everything is being done to find out what was behind this murder but a lot already suggests far right rhesus not to absolve the attacker he apparently acted out of hatred towards people of different descent religion or appearance racism is a poison hatred is a poison and this poison exists in our society and has led to many crimes. So the feeling here in germany really one of sadness of mourning but certainly of anger that this was able to happen in the 1st place in the wake of the shooting of the chairwoman of the ruling c. D. U. Party it was quick to point the finger at rivals from the alternative for Germany Party accusing value of having extremist tendencies. Even in theater if you look at their texas profile it seems like he had racist xenophobia as well as far right motives and this strengthens me my believe that for the c. D. U. You should always be clear not only for the c. D. U. But for all parties in germany that they can be no corporation with a party which tolerates far right extremists and lets call a spade a spade not since em on its ranks so we are resolved to have no cooperation with the f. D. A. In any shape or form its important to keep the spirals tentative for germany its more or less the parliamentary wing of a right Wing Movement if not the right wing terrorists if they want or not they are the ones who give the key. To terrorists and every collaboration by other parties with the what. But give this party more credibility in the eyes of the followers so we have a level in the public debate that is more of a child than a rational political debate and when i hear it yesterday night about it shooting i instinctively knew that our opponents would blame us for being responsible for it it is completely ridiculous and i can only ask everyone to read that money fester of this crazy terrorist and then compare it to what we are doing and then its all views that its nonsense but no one reads of money 1st 2. 00 and so opponent think if they only repeat and repeat and repeat that we are somehow linked to that or that that this terrorist had links to us than enough people would believe in ok maybe that happens but its just fake news and of course we fight against fake news. In a move marking deepening it defense ties between greece and the us the 2 countries have held a training drill involving the American Air Force this comes after athens recently brought military equipment from washington and another nato ally france. The u. S. Greece relationship is stronger than it has ever been our defense ties and our defense cooperation is an essential component of the United States really believes in the idea that greece is a problem of stability it is a lynchpin of our last strategy for the larger region the us signed a new Defense Agreement with greece last year it was an expansion of the deal 1st struck in 1990 it allows the American Military to use greek facilities including for training refueling and Emergency Response but back in october the agreement and a visit drive u. S. Secretary of state sparked massive protests in athens. The protests were organized by the Greek Committee for International Detente and peace it called for people to mobilize and to go against the governments decision to work with the u. S. As it argued it was it dangerous to follow imperialists political analysts petros our gloria thinks the closer ties will only see greece doing exactly what washington wants. So far there has not been tons of benefits for greece from where you respond to here you are resurfacing us syrian tourists for example one recent development for greece. Is very related to getting engaged and there are going to work with. The gov the greek government is said to you perhaps hear me say once one of our technical staff im sorry arrived here at the instruction of us and there we can and there are differences as well thats just one small example of what the ratio of the venerable benefits dangers these are going to be very good to us release relations. Hysteria is spreading in 3 ukrainian regions where protests have been held over the countrys nationals being brought back from the coronavirus epicenter in china the flight carrying 73 people evacuated from will on eventually landed in the ukrainian city of heart of now demonstrators have clashed with police in the town where the passengers are meant to be quarantined. Right. Was in that not everyone. Was. 0 so far ukraine has yet to see one case of the coronavirus but many people clearly are quite scared of even taking that chance in the region of lavals groups of protesters worse were seen blocking the streets to a Major Hospital where the passengers were supposed to be quarantined after arriving in the country riot police were quickly sent to the scene they could be seen dragging people from the streets and even some of them were hospital workers themselves now for the past. Well days other skirmishers between protesters and the police have become widespread across the country but the ukrainian authorities are saying are trying to reassure people that none of these passengers were affected or infected by the coronavirus about half of them were ukrainian or ukrainian and the rest come from a number of Different Countries but all of them have been screened twice before being allowed to board the plane now the governments been trying to find a quarantine area for a while now and amidst all the chaos of these new protests president selenski says that these reactions are not really something to be proud of these reactions to something that was supposed to be a gesture of goodwill to help people in need is a shame the not all of us can be proud of the humane reaction the efforts to show find ways to blow close spittles not to let ukrainians back to ukraine were not demonstrating the best of our character here especially given the majority of the passengers are under 30 to most of us they are almost children now the passengers are bound for a Health Center in the Poltava Region of ukraine but with such a negative reaction to something intended to be a gesture of goodwill well have to see how similar attempts in the future to fight the coronavirus fair if there are any at all a man who has been stabbed inside a mosque in london that start much more after a short break this is our 2 international. This 10 year period of 0 money velocity or money has gone directly into the pockets of the few oligarchs and countries the doors of american around the world in these silos like these 12500000000 dollars property when they when the infrastructure for that starts to crack. He starts to see balance and 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. Bob dylan once said money doesnt talk its chremes former republican new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg is proving this just the sheer force of lavish spending has made him a serious contender to capture the democratic nomination are we experiencing pete trump the arrangement syndrome. Welcome back this is R T International now an elderly man who is believed to be leading the call to prayer at a mosque in Central London was stabbed in the neck on thursday afternoon he solly reports now from the british capital what we know so far is that the gentleman the wise it is that school at this mosque in Central London this is one of the most obvious studies in the u. K. He was reading the cool to prayer for the off to the prayers around 3 or 330 in the off to noon when he was stabbed in the day by another person who has since been arrested the 29 year old just the gentleman the victim in question is said to be in his seventys and hes in hospital now where hes expect. To survive that attack despite it being the starting attack in the neck now weve spoken to some people whove been inside the mosque earlier this evening and in the off to noon and they say that according to officials here at the mosque the gentoo murders that arrested the man whos been arrested was seen here before he had been a visitor here but had perhaps been seen as somebody of an outsider were suspicious is always sort of unclear whether this is someone who was an attendee of the mosque or someone who was possibly staking out in preparation for an attack like this in any case the police have released a statement they say theyre not treating it as terrorists at this time but of course tensions and fears will be high in the u. K. And especially amongst the muslim community. In the u. K. Home secretary has unveiled a new point to baste a visa system the scheme is intended to reduce the number of low skilled Migrant Workers entering the country. This is the 1st time in decades the government has been able to take control run its own immigration system ofter weve left the European Union and Free Movement and low skilled migration to our country which means that we will get migration numbers down and that essential to this policy of a points based system the new system requires immigrants to prove their knowledge of the english language as well as professional qualifications and skills an existing job offer meeting a minimum salary would also be required ph d. Qualified to specialists would receive extra points making it easier for them to gain entry but the new rules would have proven quite a challenge for those who have already made a career in the u. K. I dont know if id actually be in this country under these rules would you with your parents they wouldnt qualify it with this is a very different system to what is going on in the past and dont forget this is a point based system you make on the labor market. 9 u. K. Citizens have until now made up a substantial part of the countrys workforce with close to a 1000000 immigrants working in the low skilled sector in 2018 liberal democrat politician Jonathan Fryer believes it will not take long for the new system to reveal its faults brazier a very dangerous game that the home secretary is playing basically just to satisfy the promises that the conservative party made joining the general election and to deliver briggs it as it was proposed many businesses have warm but its just a memory of this stick to assume that you can change the nature of the workforce in the way that the home secretary and presumably the Prime Minister wont this doesnt solve the problem which i think is going to arrive very soon which is this country needs a lot of people in whats hot for the moment lower paid jobs basically what this new policy is saying is that the sorts of work theyre doing often for not very high pay is not being valued and that maybe theyre not being valued as members of our society.
