Founder Julian Assange prepares for a possible extradition to the United States. Confirms wednesdays shooting in the town of qana as a terror attack as germany mourns the 9 victims killed in whats been described as a racially motivated incident. That afternoon just turned 3 in the afternoon here in moscow this friday life internationals world news sent it kevin im with you for the next half hour for the update ok stick around for the full thing to 1st just mentioned in those headlines the big news today is in syria the province there where russia is calling on turkey to ensure safe passage for refugees to flee itself the turkish militants fired on Syrian Army Positions near the town of. Heres some pictures of an attack on thursday. Meanwhile other developments washington wants damascus and its backers to face punishment over their military actions in the region despite u. S. Officials also admitting it live has become a haven for terrorist groups. And seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is an ungoverned space in many ways the raw variety of groups there all of them are a nuisance and menace in a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter of course but it goes down of takes a closer look next to how the syria conflict evolved over the years. Pushes coming to shove in syria turkey and the us russia israel and multiple militant factions all skirmishing in the country and previous motives for warring fading into oblivion. Its time for assad to get out of the way. We have won a good study says weve beaten them and weve beaten them badly all that is a thing of the past now as new goals vividly take shape the latest fighting in ad lib is a mere accessory to the geo political connotation is global and regional superpower sparring with each other for dominance ideological and moral borders are blurred with turkey a nato country teaming up with terrorists to push syrians out of their own province. 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 for a few minutes and making it live a safe place for both turkey and the people of the region at all costs militants shamelessly boasting turkey provided a. P. C. s coming on mosques covered by turkish artillery fire russias air force joins the Party Together with syrians repairing the onslaught as. Moscow officially asks ankara to hold its fire and so it does to prevent militants from moving deeper into syria into route 22 of the Russian Air Force at the request of the syrian command have carried out as strikes against the terror groups this allowed the syrian troops to successful the ripple all attacks but turkey is not alone in this fight while jihadi groups are doing the bloody bidding on the ground washington cheers from over the atlantic that a very good job or say shit with president carter was the fact is that hes fighting on it led he doesnt want people to be killed by the thousands and hundreds of thousands the United States will continue to coordinate with turkey on diplomatic approach is to restore a cease fire to the it led deescalation zone and achieve a pullback of assad Regime Forces to the 2800. 00 so she ceasefire lines the u. S. Has its own stake in the syria war and it hasnt signed on very particular and well predictable prizes from geo political dominance to well oiled we did leave so just because were keeping the oil we may have to fight for the us its ok i like the oil yet a nother acting in this conflict israeli jets routinely hit targets on syrian soil its clear what israel wants to to weaken irans influence yet another power playing its hand and this massive and messy political gamble unfortunately for the people of syria since 2011 their country has been used as a chessboard on which the syrians appear as pawns and its somebody elses geo strategic chess board in particular the United States and its allies basically tore syria apart partly designed to topple the. Secular but legitimate government in syria the sovereign government the government recognized by the United Nations partly to topple that government and partly to claim different parts of syria for themselves syria has an important place in geo strategic we in geographically in this resource rich region of the middle east it also has. So yes what weve seen the tragedy of syria the tragedy of the socalled civil war its actually a proxy war by International Players using the syrian country the syrian battlefield as a proxy battlefield so yet again we seem to on the brink of something as serious civil war enters yet another pivotal stage of kentucky later in the program right now because look at the United States is criticizing its own military for allegedly for secure weapons with hundreds of millions of dollars. But not before we talk but this next story more on the coronavirus this time trouble over in Ukraine HealthCenter Housing ukrainians and foreign evacuees from china quarantined over the virus have now been put on the coastal watch by 200 Security Offices after their arrival ended up in violent clashes as youre about to see between police and locals who are afraid and very much against their will. But. Scary or troubling from the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak that flight landed in the ukrainian city of hardcover on thursday the clashes left 9 Police Officers and one civilian injured donal court has got more that story. Say some new people moved into the neighborhood they came from the epicenter of the deadly coronavirus pandemic perhaps youd be worried or angry but it be hard to match the anger brewing in ukraine to just that situation. You. Owe. To ok. For the past several days ukraine has seen violent clashes across the country scores of policemen have been injured by locals throwing bricks riot police have been called in to disperse angry mobs and its all because the ukrainian authorities tried to do a good deed for the International Community they accepted with open arms a number of their countrymen and foreigners trying to flee by plane assuring the public the passengers were 100 percent coronavirus clean an important detail when ukraine itself has yet to see a case of the disease a Quarantine Zone was even set up at a Health Center in poltava just to be sure but the protesters did all they could to stop that plane from landing and when that failed they started blocking roads until riot police removed them by force. Her own you. With. The bus has made it to their destination in the end but there on welcome reception wasnt exactly what kiev expected presidency lansky even called out the protesters for showing the uglier side of their humanity its a shame the not all of us can be proud of the humane reaction the efforts to show funny ways to. 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 children are not ukraines protesters dont seem to be up for a game of russian roulette with the coronavirus. Media freedom groups are giving a stark warning about their health again of wiki leaks founder Julian Assange as he prepares for the opening hearing now of his u. S. Extradition next week his father is deeply concerned about julians health and hes been telling r. T. About it then one of julians of the 1st appearance in judge borats as court the judge in julian his name and his birth he was in such Poor Condition that he couldnt remember this is very unusual for a judge to continue hearing the plea of a prisoner when they come from him of their birth or their. Concert consequently we believe that julian or to immediately saying. In a teacher spittle thats what would happen in a stranger the judge would not continue the hearing because the prison was not well and adding their voices more than 100. 00 doctors from around the world is still rallying against britains handling of the case saying hes being subjected to psychological torture in jail theyre also calling on his stunning government to intervene to protect end of the day one of its citizens this is now the 4th open letter from medical professionals about it the doctor director general of reporters aboard has told us this latest chapter is much more than just an extradition hearing. Thats just what i know this is not just the story of one individual it is about the ability of journalists to publish information relating to state secrets through a sound is being targeted because of his contributions to journalism in 2010 years his work is being targeted because it revealed so much specifically on u. S. Military operations in iraq and afghanistan i never saw him g. s forces on trial in the us if he is extradited this will pose a major threat to all journalism has been nothing short of a dramatic decade for doing this understatement since incurring washingtons wrath today on this channel were telling this story to more detail. I 1st heard about wiki leaks during the song from the helicopter footage in iraq. I think that there are people who remain in the u. S. Military who have never forgiven him for it this guys a traitor and treasonous and he has broken every law the United States illegally shoots out of the us really historic to have. Independent journalist with these computers to see you is what crimes and to a global audience. The idea of developing an anonymous digital drop box and applying it to a Media Organization that is what he makes that was the 1st. I didnt the tool anticipate that he would be for a short while the worlds time and run one of the worlds most powerful news organizations put your expanded coverage founder Julian Assange in the sun over the sun and there was a great deal of jealous in the mainstream towards him particularly why wont he be more like off the accused team of smearing feces on the walls. System. We have Julian Assange in solitary confinement in this prison for terrorists a way to keep the house alive in person the person. I dont want to see him die any u. S. Prison. And i think thats what hes facing. Update on those dramatic events in germany now confirmed the shooting which left 9 dead in the western town of hondo as an act of terrorism carried out the say by a right wing extremist its now the 3rd far right terror attack than to hit germany in a matter of. Months vigils are held across the country tens of thousands gathered across the nation to mourn the victims and this was the scene in the town of high now where those latest attacks took place. There is the political reaction mudslinging even in the wake of the shootings the governing Christian Democratic Union was quick to point the finger at anti migrant rivals accusing the alternative of Germany Party of having street miss tendencies. If you look at their texas profile it seems like he had racist xenophobia as well as far right motives and this strengthens mean my believe therefore the c. D. U. 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 in monitoring so we are resolved to have no cooperation with the f. D. A. In any shape or form its important to keep the spine. Tentative for germany its more or less the parliamentary wing of a right Wing Movement and 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 charmed rational political debate and when i hear yesterday night about that 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 were doing and then its all views that its nonsense its just fake news and of course we fight against fake news. Its something the whole place prostrating after in moscow thank you for watching out international with me kevin when coming up will bravely time for britain but that said the past has come back to bite it as the e. U. Is now by greece overturning small long faltering ancient artifacts and its all to brag said tell me more. 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 peak trauma derangement syndrome. Most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice so the biggest great. Truth to stand down to lose business is just the right questions and demand the right answers. Question. This whole business about blaming russia and america is getting really pathetic because heres a guy whos effectively trying to dehumanizing all group of people slavic people. This is remarkably ironic coming from white like. I go next to tug of war between the u. K. And greece over classical sculptures to see nothings fail for decades to secure the return of relics it says was stolen brecks it could be about to change all that with the e. U. Now reportedly backing greeces claim over the socalled elgin marbles in brussels now may be a pushing britain to return them the collection was originally part of the parthenon in the greek capital but theyre currently on display in the British Museum in london greece claims that was stolen by law delegate in the 19th century but britains got another story it insists it acquired them legally and further isnt budging either. The you case position on the parthenon sculptures remains unchanged they are the legal responsibility of the British Museum that is not up for discussion as part of our trade negotiations cultural historian wendy earle and political and social commentator mo and earlier shed some more light on the dangers of discussing history in modern politics. You cant go around the world nicking stuff and then just saying were going to keep hold of it because its really valuable and we want people to come and see it it just as awash now adays in a i hate you saying it but in a relatively woke enlightened Society People are asking for their stuff back and its very hard to construct a case when we go around the world stealing stuff and dont get back i think history itself is a very complicated place to go history is complex we do very well in britain threat Education System and so our western media missed telling and misstating it we we dont half pick and choose what and how we tell history i mean we can say that the item and this is the worst of it they. Should put the times in may we should be trying to we should be trying to have a discussion about this rather than you trying to interrupt me and the point i know its a case not only do i know he believes there is a history what we can do with these mothers now is continue to learn about history continues wonder stand their histories and continue to develop our knowledge by returning them back willy nilly to places that demand them were not caring for the objects themselves were not looking at these as. Pieces of our heritage of Global Heritage every single argument you make for keeping them away can be used for returning them im sure the greek people you know the home of democracy some great thinkers you might consider will be able to figure out how to display this to the public we shouldnt be just using them as as kind of political footballs all taking the moral taking taking the moral high ground taking the moral high ground we live in a world that is constantly changing and we need to i think recognise that you know that these are bigger than the most dismembered in history my concern is that by not coming under the auspices of the European Court of justice were not going to be held accountable how on earth is the British Government ever going to be held accountable for the sins that it commits as a state at home and overseas if we dont have a higher court to answer. So i think britain is is perfectly poised to be able to do exactly what it wants and i think in terms of brechts it that discussion about it is a discussion about democracy its about sovereignty theres no point in kind of really hashing old historical arguments when were when i think were in a completely new place where people in prison are thinking about how do we have a future where were free of a bureaucracy outside of person that were not that is not accountable to us and how can we can tie the father lightens around a losing argument. Well ok thats your opinion. But you can report has accused the u. S. Military failing to keep track of weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars in syria it suggests weapons will have vulnerable to loss or theft which has in turn skyrocketed operational cost is the allegation and the other major consequences to this kind of open reports if you were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to send weapons to a foreign country it would probably pay to keep track of them but apparently thats the last thing that was on the pentagons mind when it came to Operation Inherent resolve in syria. Special Operations Joint Task force Operation Inherent result person who did not account for the budget is 715800000 of count arses trained and equipped Fund Equipment for fiscal years 2017 and 28 seen hundreds of weapons were not properly stored duplicate purchases were made the amount spent went higher and higher now that might give critics of the military Industrial Complex something to complain about but thats not the crux of the problem here take a listen to this special Operations Joint Task force Operation Inherent resolve on 1st that sustainment command personnel left thousands of counter arses trained and equipped for and weapons and sensitive equipment items fordable to muscle theft without conducting consistent inventor reason ensuring proper security for c. T. E. F s equipment 1st c. S. C. Could not determine where the items were lost or stolen which could delay the initiation of an investigation so lets be clear theyre saying theyre not 100 percent sure that these weapons and it up in the hands of isis terrorists but that there is a pretty good chance they did now that should raise plenty of questions especially for those who recall that back in 2718 the socalled vetted opposition was getting stock loads of handouts in weapons from the pentagon. The original fiscal year 2017 president s budget requests to train and equip and fits in syria funds training and equipment for about 14000 partner foose troops from the vetted Syrian Opposition seems like some of these vetted opposition were not really interested in fighting the i. C. L. Terrorists they just focused on their ongoing efforts to violently overthrow the Syrian Government one of our Partner Forces there unilaterally conducted patrols outside of the agreed upon deescalation zone and engaged in activities not focused on fighting isis it seems like american weapons pretty consistently end up not in the hands of terrorist fighters but in the hands of terrorists themselves lets see whats been captured. 715000000. 00 can buy are a lot of ammunition now and that much goes missing in a war torn country its crawling with terrorists eyebrows should be raised for comparison the republic of the congo and gonna spend less than 715000000. 00 in their annual military budgets latvia spends slightly more in 27. 00 team approximately 1000000000. 00 worth of arms transfers were not properly monitored by the pentagon big mistakes were made in this arm and equip program it partly its an accounting issue because the pentagon as we know has never been successfully audited they tried to audit the pentagon once and it was an absolute failure. They have no idea where the money goes and thats one half of the problem they just dont care because its not about the fence its about 1st of all the military Industrial Complex the more weapons you lose the more you can buy and its this kind of symbiosis the the war machine in washington has so that is on one hand but on the other hand i think theres an intentional lack of oversight with regard to weapons in syria weve seen so many times advanced American Military technology in the hands of isis and al qaida and their offshoots in the region theres of been a flood of weapons into the region there are no consequences to the us its only a benefit to the well politically connected military Industrial Complex in washington d. C. To manufacture and send over more weapons they dont care about the misery of the people on the ground who have to suffer u. S. Leaders frequently describe their operations in the middle east as efforts to stabilize the region but nothing brings stability like going into war torn country is crawling with terrorists bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons and then accidentally losing them up and r. T. New york the view from the big plus a view from moscow to the city for now for me kevin and the rest of the on duty team is friday thanks for watching out international stumbo for next program in your part the world can tell you is the one the only inimitable larry king here with his latest show coming up next.
