War crimes in. Free speech advocates in the u. K. Professor following complaints from trans activists. Some members of this fight back and some trends that. They would not appear. So they asked me if i would like to. Come. Whether youre watching us from new york city or Monterrey Mexico this is. Thomas certainly glad to have you with us to cease fire has come into effect in syrias war torn province it was agreed upon earlier by the leaders of russia and turkey during high stakes negotiations in moscow the 2 International Powers are backing opposing sides in the conflict which has brought them perilously close to a direct confrontation in recent weeks. Tells us about the talks and their results. It took a total of 6 hours 3 of them ted ted between ludmer put another edge up type of and thats a lot for the top men and then the 2 countries delegations including foreign and defense ministers join their leaders and the discussion continued it was clear from the beginning it is not going to be an easy chorus ation journalists were told there will be no press conference at the end or any media context so to the very last moment we didnt know whether were going to see mr putin and mr added a gun this evening at all but both leaders came out to journalists with the outcome of thursdays crucial talks on syria the key point is that the 2 sides came to an agreement to deescalate the syrian turkish crisis in syrias war torn province and to set this in concrete putin and out of the gun signed a document detailing a cease fire on the ground in a glib that starts from midnight march 6th your jews taught at midnight beginning on the 6th of march a ceasefire will be implemented we will take all necessary steps to ensure at last our goal is to do Everything Possible to prevent the humanitarian situation from deteriorating in the region so the ceasefire is certainly agcy point but there were some other steps agreed upon between russia and turkey the 2 sides decided to establish a socalled safe corridor 12 kilometer wide 6 kilometers north and 6 kilometers south from syria strategic and 4 highway connecting aleppo and lattakia and to start joint patrol of this area to secure it to make it a save zone starting march 15th flight reporting described thursday stalks with the head of the gun in general as a positive move through the fog of the solution to this group but we dont always agree without turkish partners in our evaluation of the situation in syria but critical moments having high. Level bilateral relations weve always managed to find Common Ground on controversial issues and have found Acceptable Solutions well what is evil if this is serious last remaining terry stronghold damascus lost control over it 5 years ago but back in 2018 russia and turkey again put in an arrogant already committed to help the syrian army clear this fos northern province in syria from teris and all the size seem to have this common goal and move together towards it until her around a month ago the turkish leader gave up this idea hand he made a u. Turn calling on russia to leave syria and to leave him face to face with the regime these are hes words the situation on the ground started boiling escalation violence it became clear is something needs to be done urgently and while ago the turkish president announced a special gather rain on syria in istanbul but not only between russia and turkey but also with france and germany thats what meant putting convinced his turkish counterpart that they do not need mediators and this is why we saw mr as a gun coming here to moscow kremlin and having a discussion with wagner putting Daniel Mcadams from the Ron Paul Institute for peace told our t. V. It is in the interest of both moscow and andrea to ensure the cease fire lasts. We should all breathe a sigh of relief because truly russia and turkey were on the brink of direct conflict it was careening out of control and i think it was very wise to have called this bilateral meeting to hammer it out because there is the danger of it actually adding into war and possibly including nato was very real the whole issue of the of the war torn in the province is not that different in the war torn aleppo province which amazingly settled down once it was liberated from the from the control of jihad ists of extremists and al qaida and thats the exact same thing in live province the important thing is that the m. 4 in an m 5 highways will be open up thats important to certainly to russia into syria but lets also remember the air 21 is having some problems back home theres a huge brawl in the Parliament Just yesterday with 2 with the parties fighting each other the opposition parties are not thrilled that everyone has essentially embedded Turkish Military forces with al qaida to serve as human shields to prevent the syrians from retaking their own territory hes gone way out on a ledge and i think hes finding himself at the end of his political rope perhaps. The atmosphere is also tense at turkeys border with the e. U. Where an estimated 35000. 00 Asylum Seekers have gathered since friday attempting to cross into greece turkish authorities have claimed a man died on wednesday after greek police opened fire on a group of migrants an allegation athens denies reporting from the border heres arties show depends. In the dead of night theyve set up camp these migrants who say they off from syria have succeeded where so many havent theyve crossed the border from turkey into greece. Or. But even the most basic of comforts can come at a cost on the one hand lighting a fire means want for the children on the other it means being visible to the Security Forces and volunteers trying to protect greeces borders. Greece says it stopped thousands from entering into its borders within the last week of those who have made it through many have been arrested and they have been taken to detention facilities like this one here behind me that surround 10 miles from the frontier now you can see children playing clothes hung out to dry so despite the barbed wire and the high fences with security posts life goes on greece has Just Announced that it will create another center in this area to deal with any new cross from turkey the plan is to deport them as soon as possible and while e. U. Chiefs have come to greeces aid saying it is acting as europe shield others are more critical of the books position this is a moment to which people is questioning guy davidi existence and the very role of the of the European Union not this is we dont have to feel to run after the storm much of the people we must help the people to understand how complex is the life oakum pixies that is the is the war there and and and showed the ability to have the Political Force to fix that and not calling these people and these disparate people. On because calling a greaser shield that means that these people are our weapon for the president and he says the buddha should be opened there is no. Act even in the in the policies of the European Union that allow the members to suspend. Did the right. To request. You know kountry i know the disease a very difficult situation but democracy and the rule of law must apply more than ever in this kind of situation and my opinion that francesco. About dignity. The conditions on the border a not dignified set neither was the existence of many thousands of my clients who live on a day to day basis stuck in limbo in senses likely seen hes calling on the e. U. To sort out its issues and to find a solution to the crisis so that countries like greece to no longer left shouldering the burden of my question. Ski aussie luck you need the greek to push forward the red cross has sharply criticized of the e. U. Over its handling of the crisis and rebuked greece for suspending asylum applications a decision the u. N. Says has no legal basis some members of the European Parliament however have said that the blog should actually end all cooperation with turkey this is again a good lesson for us that the European Union and doesnt solve our problems it only makes the problems worse we paid 6000000000. 00 euros to the turkish regime and what we get after some of the several years we only get blackmailed again so if you do do that and the gun just wants more money from us and this has to stop in february it is clear that mr hat and sorkin are not a reliable partner or so and so i think that the e. U. Should keep the interim council because i think that your piano taxpayer certainly have lost a lot of money i mean in my view would be an appropriate response for the e. U. To suspend the e. U. Turkish Customs Union with immediate effect. And. We may well be demanding this in the not too distant future on thursday on pronounced it will send 1000 special Police Officers to the border to prevent the greek side from driving back desperate Asylum Seekers we spoke to some of the migrants are being stranded there. I came from of ghana stunned i arrived at the border with groups but its closed and one cant growth that the greek Security Forces are dispersing migrants with tear gas. Im from iran and i want to go to europe as you know the Economic Situation in our country is very bad we tried to cross the border but Security Forces detained us took all our belongings and venus. We left afghanistan we came to work in turkey we left everything behind when we had to queue is opening its border but is it turns out the border is closed no one is helping us. The u. S. Secretary of state has bitterly condemned a decision by the International Criminal court to authorize an investigation into possible war crimes in afghanistan my pump aoe said the vet under no circumstances will washington allow american citizens to be held accountable by the hague based organization. Weve come to know this i. C. C. Is a truly political body we have evidence suggesting that there has been there have been efforts to provide misinformation to the court by foreign parties were going to take all the appropriate actions to ensure that american citizens are not hold before this political body to settle a political vendetta the us secretary of state mike palm pale was commenting on the relaunching of an investigation by the International Criminal court into activities that took place by major powers in afghanistan this investigation is launched as it appears that a peace deal has been signed and that afghanistan could be drawing down in hostilities the prosecutor is out. To commence and this to gauge in relation to elect crimes committed in the gulf gonna stop at this point the United States has maintained a presence in afghanistan for 18 years and the International Criminal court in its investigation is looking into the activities of cia members the International Criminal court is looking into the possibility of torture cruel treatment outrages upon personal dignity rape and other forms of Sexual Violence as part of policy by members of the cia now its important to note that there have been other allegations against the u. S. In afghanistan u. S. Service members have been accused of bombing and attacking Healthcare Facilities disappearing people and killing civilians according to the latest un report over 100000 civilians have died or been injured in the past decade of fighting in afghanistan however the United States has withdrawn from the International Criminal court the Top Administration withdrew from the court in september of 2018 and it appears that my pompei was doubling down on that this is a truly breathtaking action by an unaccountable Political Institution masquerading as a legal body the i. C. C. Today. Stumble into a sorry affirmation of every denunciation made by its harsh critics over the last 3 decades now its also important to note that last year we saw the pardoning of u. S. Service members accused of killing civilians in both iraq and afghanistan by u. S. President donald trump he pardoned them when they face charges for their actions. So as the war in afghanistan seems to be drawing down many are optimistic about the peace deal it appears that the United States is determined to make sure that members of its armed forces are not held accountable for any crimes they may have committed in afghanistan while the United States maine that maintained its presence there for 18 Years International politics expert daniel shaw told us that the u. S. Is used to having the legality of its military actions overlooked. Interesting to hear rhetoric critiquing the International Criminal court it sounded like when he called it a broken organisation and they were irresponsible i thought he was talking about the Us Government was always trying to rush to cross the human rights of afghanis in the vietnamese and so many other areas where the us has invaded in pillaged theyve never been held accountable theres no reason to think now that they have any fear of being held accountable although this is a big headline. No preston in the list of Human Rights Violations goes on in our it would always make hitler blush with us Foreign Policy is there and over the course of the cold war and now quote unquote post cold war but look at the attack it is with us russia china Venezuela Iran you cant tell the people of the 3rd world that the cold war ever ended.

Policymakers have grown accustomed to the idea that every single problem can be solved with money printing why cant we solve the coronavirus of money printing the market now is starting to scratch just had a little bit and saying wait a minute thats insane so therefore valuations look like theyre going to be marked already in correction territory on these markets down time percent are going to have to bear market valuations down 20 percent probably i think the likelihood is extremely high are going to have a 50 to 60 percent drop thats probably a 10 to 20 percent probability yeah.

Free speech advocates in the u. K. Have condemned a decision to de platform Oxford University professor who is scheduled to speak out of womens festival feminist historian selena todd told us it came after organizers were put under pressure by trends activists. Some members of a group called feminists fight back and some trans activists had said that they would not appear at the conference if i was there so they asked me if i would like to disinvite myself and just not come and i said no im not willing to do that partly because i was there in a professional capacity as a professor oxford my faculty had given the conference a great deal of support and they just myself and the head of the history faculty to speak there so i said no and i said please let me know as soon as possible what you intend to do about this and would you like my advice and support on how to deal with these police and they declined that and rang me back at 6 pm and said weve got a compromise you can come but youre not allowed to speak youre not allowed to say anything so we know todds ties to the feminist organization a womans place u. K. Are thought to be one of the reasons for the complaint against her the group was formed in 2017 to find for womens rights but has been accused of transphobia for opposing the gender recognition act which allows people to change their legal gender u. K. s department for education has however condemned todds exclusion from the event universities are required by law to uphold freedom of speech allowing academics students and visiting speakers to challenge ideas and discuss controversial subjects we have made clear that if universities do not uphold free speech the government will. Ask for universities Exeter College has said it was not responsible for the decision of the event organizers and says it is investigating what happened so in a tarver her part has also been at pains to defend herself against allegations of transphobia. It was some trans activists who call me transfer you big that is completely unfounded i am connected to an organization which advocates for womens rights and in my professional capacity as a historian i research womens history and the evidence that i have found leads me to agree with the law as it stands that women are a sex and should have access to single sex places like refuge it is and the single sex court i certainly believe that transgender people should be allowed to state their identity and should be treated with respect and im very delighted to work in an institution that respects the rights of transgender staff and transgender students.
