But i think they can do much better that the truthy. Should not have a green light to invade kurdish area that will undermine what the us have done in syria in terms of fighting isis all because the kurds would be forced to evacuate evacuate other areas and send christmas troops from easter and the stone of syria to the western kurdistan of syria thus creating vacuum that hash the shabby and a lot of shia militia led by iran to come and take that area or isis to come back and take that area so for a united state is an interest in International Community interest so to send a strong message to ankara to stop terrorizing credit people in kurdistan of syria many thanks for your time and your views and i guess that the shared a past president of the Kurdistan National assembly of syria. Ok lets switch over to breaking news coming out of afghanistan where a group of armed men have reportedly attacked a hotel in the Afghan Capital of kabul according to local media there citing the countrys interior Ministry Spokesperson perpetrators is still believed to be inside with reports of heavy gunfire occurring local journalist. Joins me live on the line hes been following this story whats the latest the reports come coming in walking you tell us below. According to an Afghan Special forces commander from c. R. U. The Crisis Response unit thats a unit thats trained to fight these sort of attacks there are several attackers there were in the kitchen of the hotel then they moved to room one hundred three in one of four on the fourth floor theres a lot of confusion according to the commander of the Afghan Special forces who are fighting a very complex attack now this is a hotel. Is historically a jewel for afghanistan is all it was built in the more peaceful times it said sana held tarp its very difficult to secure almost not impossible and this is also a hotel that got attacked in two thousand and eleven in a complex attack in which nato helicopters were called in to kill some of the attackers who were on the rooftop n. D. S. Days kabul and other major cities are becoming another front for taliban in the Islamic State when they have been launching these attacks and we only heard in the last forty eight hours or so from the u. S. Embassy and kabul putting a security alert saying a number of hotels in government buildings in other locations were at risk of an attack obviously this sort of an attack shows the constant security an intelligence failure but it also shows how the Afghan Government and its international allies. Or finding themselves fight another fight on a very difficult front line which is the citys air at this moment i really dont know more than what i have told you theres a lot of confusion but this is also a hotel which houses a lot of people and i think that will be a nightmare for Afghan Special forces because their priority will be to protect lives and then if you have this information an operational turn established do we have any kind of numbers in terms of how many attack is there were. Details of the hostages are there any how many and also about fatalities to do we have any kind of confirmations at this point. I simply dont know but what i do know from one eyewitness who was in a local t. V. Station there was a some sort of a government conference its not unusual for the kabul government to invite some of its provincial officials of the different ministries and then they have seminars or meetings and some of them are housed in this hotel but this is also a place where afghan businessmen could stay were a foreigner could stay or tourists could stay and as i say this attack just shows you how brazen these militant groups have become despite strict security measures in kabul by the Afghan Government and the intelligence capabilities applied by International Forces the militants are actually able to target kabul time and again joining us live from kabul in afghanistan last hour thank you. Moving into stories from today a british student has been making headlines after she appeared on a radio show and confessed their support for communism twenty four year old fiona laurie told a b. B. C. Programme she felt communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore didnt actually fail the story whipped up a storm of debate over how universities alluring students to the left with one professor repeatedly quoted saying that shes downplaying the crimes of stalin we spoke to ourselves about the storm i think its completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately you know talk about the death under the save even by i think this is you know very much selective outrage the media in general obviously dont paint marxism or socialism or really any kind of left wing politics in a in a positive light and thats because obviously in you know the media is owned by same group of people in the media is owned by a billionaire class they have certain interests they want to protect i think people can think for themselves and i wouldnt take their headlines the general opinion of the British Population perhaps its not surprising the story was seized on it seems that red alerts a bit flashing in the british media more often of late much was made of the Prime Minister wearing a bracelet featuring frida kahlo a communist no for her concerns over the poor a buzz feed science editor felt compelled to lock down her social media account over the abuse she received for writing she wanted to communism for christmas. But does the public share the red fear of the media going to a recent opinion poll nine percent of young adults few communism is a danger to the world compare that to Global Business which nearly a quarter think poses the biggest threat political activist george barda shares his view on the story. What we need to remember is that anybody of my age and older in this country and certainly in the us and across much of the west identifies communism in the soviet union and anytime like hard last or extreme left i was pretty much different aspects of the same thing in the one nine hundred fifty s. When when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rates of Economic Growth the mainstream Foreign Policy journals were very much kind of writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonized system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical reality. In france riot police have moved in on europes largest prison firing tear gas in banks but guards arrest fled while the prison staff were taking part in a weeklong nationwide strike over what they say are dangerous working conditions including escalating attacks on guards elsewhere in the country the Justice Minister attempted to solve the crisis received a hostile welcome from angry prison workers. But also all employees of the prison are in a state of shock were angry because its been a week since we created a National Movement following the aggression right now were waiting for the measures the bosses and the Penitentiary Administration will take with respect to the management of inmates. A number of attacks on guards have been recorded in french prisons of late the latest was on friday when two guards were injured in the stabbing attack by an inmate huge reportedly been radicalized in another jail on monday seven security staff were attacked by an inmate according to officials the perpetrator had also been radicalized and a week ago another three guards were injured when a prisoner assaulted them with scissors and a razor blade. Well following those incidents the Prison Guards union issued a list of demands which they say are aimed at improving working conditions theyre asking officials to create more than a thousand new jobs in french prisons as well as to fully isolate radicalised inmates are calling for more Security Forces to protect the workers and its just mentioned a growing discontent its led to a nationwide strike and to violent clashes with the police. Said la foret to do nor the government our representatives are to blame they dont want to discuss the problem or to find a solution to our poor working conditions we demand an increase in the number of Prison Guards and also the creation of a special high security wing for radicalized prisoners. Some for more detail on this we are really determined to make ourselves heard and to ensure that our demands are met and we really want work conditions to be changed especially in terms of security.

O. C. Italys law is the web site that targets fake news the move comes ahead of march is general election if somebody wants to report a fake all they have to do is click a special link on mine. The service will allow users to identify fake news online the team has been set up to analyze the authenticity of anything flagged up by using special Software Italian interior ministers heaped praise on to the system but some experts are a little more skeptical. Its an entirely transparent and legitimate Public Service tool aimed at protecting citizens from unfounded news there is not even the slightest intention to enter the political debate you cannot create a brew or people checking news because everything that we are talking about its an opinion at the end you can check the region of the news you will never read aereo independent or to see what is truth and what is fake so i think we should try to fix the all media system it took to have an independent media system and then we can talk about thinking those are not. Us the Disability Rights Foundation has hit out at film directors for failing to cast people with disabilities to patrol the disabled the groups president says its offensive and humiliate actors with disabilities a group of whom have accused directors of discrimination however some think the problem has been exaggerated. No you still. Dont know if your boys do that or the lights just going at the same communities as everyone else not a smart night. But i know what i love you know if you get out my dress below your garbage bag in the closet are we going to skirt business so that you dont strike ever so im blind. To. The confusion. That was on top of. You know thirty years since my oscar win why no other actor with a disability has appeared in a leading role in a major Motion Picture it is clear to us that having actors playing disabled is in a frantic and so many particular community culturally offensive. My name is stephen hawking. When we go down that road towards regulating free speech to that extent we ruin drama we ruin cinema some of the greatest overtures to people with mental disabilities physical disabilities have been given to us in cinema by non disabled people so its all about how theyre being portrayed Marlena Matt Lauren has been a great example of someone who has participated in comedy about her disability because she thinks that its important to make sure that people of disability are not treated as a separate class but are treated like everyone else so that is i think at the core of what were discussing here today. A cleanup operation is under way in germany after the country and other parts of europe were battered by storm friedrich violent cross winds meant the skills of pilots there were tested right to the max and videos emerged online of books known to be described as something of an extreme landing in the us of the off as you can see on this video the plane takes a public from the wind it lurches from side to side.
