A furious backlash. Extinction rebellion launches a 2 week protest campaign with activists aiming to shut down cities around the world they call and governments to hold the destruction of the environment but how much support actually is there for the movement. What this generation seems to be saying is youve messed things up for long enough youre not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience Extinction Rebellion is without question britains Fastest Growing religion. Coming live from moscow every hour of the day this is r. T. International from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome. We start in hong kong where 2 protesters have been charged with violating the newly introduced by. On face masks it is the 1st time the laws been applied to having originally been named out defusing tension by keeping people off the streets the activists were a company to court peaceful crowd in stark contrast to the recent violence in the city. Well the initial protests over and abandoned extradition bill has since snowballed into a wider Rights Movement which is proving difficult to control and just a warning you may find the following scenes distressing a taxi driver was badly beaten over the weekend after he plowed into marchers knocking 2 it is unclear if the incident was deliberate but it did not stop the crowd from turning on the driver. I was also assaulted in hong kong on sunday she was attacked while trying to take pictures of protesters from 2 icing a branch of a bank of china and with a major scene bloodied and injured. Are now reports with images like this coming from hong kong it is little surprise people are drawing comparisons to a horror. Hong kong has gone from being the economic power of the orient to the face of the fight for democracy but the faces of those trying to wrest control from beijings crossed a mosque and the democratic means theyre using wouldnt be out of place and hollywood horrific the pudge. And. The films premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed maad fact are certain rate you name it youve got a free pass and that because of this small window to release your rage the country becomes crime free for the other 364. 00 days its a small sacrifice for the wider peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar to the films opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own urgency brokers are still. Being used for. The merchants the service is suspended for 12 hours. The members urged us to find just like oh. Ok it was a hoax but it was a hoax that actually wasnt that far from the reality of the chaotic mania gripping the streets of hong kong. Hong kong had a very dark night because of the extreme acts of the rioters the citys now a cemetery lies to everyone is worried her even afraid. Shops looted buildings and the metro disrupted for the 1st time in over 20 years Shopping Centers food shops and banks closed down fearing wolf islands from the vandals a city which was renowned for its efficiency and convenience is now ma it in confusion and disorder the instability has spooked the markets and seen hong kongs retail sales suffer the biggest drop on record and while the citys 1000000 as a packing must suitcases for those who cant just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a fast track residency abroad the options are limited but all we can go anywhere we came from Mainland China and we didnt know the stations were close so now we can there is a big problem for public transport. Its for everyone a decision to open or close the station cannot be political effects everyones daily life but if you save its traditions which you have for years the trees not only produce freezing because of them. Retrieve media friends all the life is also tired the entire thing anyway so i think thats kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes of senseless violence while the protestors are engaged in a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience and what of course no image shows the full picture for this Undercover Police officer who was beaten and with petrol bombs by and incensed mob the line is probably a bit more blood with the lenses of the International Media zoomed in on the region theres no shortage of scenes just like this and dont worry if its a slow day but im more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show i dont. Think you. Really. Think you have the power in the film lost 12 hours in hong kong with 17 weeks and counting and as there is on both sides of the power kates refused to back down a resolution seems fall off. So there is no am game thats the infinity war that hong kong people are willing to engage in as businesses are crushed as fires by and if people are forced to pick sides claims that its all in the name of peace and democracy are increasingly wearing thin these protests is no longer of prodemocracy protests turning to royalty the process that moves the engage in violence our young people it is because for the past. Decades. The home call government the north. Shore pulls the measures to ensure. The young people after they graduate from to school all to university they would have a hard core easy jobs the porters start. Where organized to do more have a hierarchy to come into the store fortys to pull to start of learning the wrong doing whatever they like leaving the police nor toys plus sure you eschewed the tools to be passed on the sly to the whole situation. Nessa tate up biggest external forces to come in and it is a scenario that i can anticipate the ridge really happened the short run. Donald trump person offended his decision to withdraw americas troops from Northern Syria saying washington must put a stop to its quote ridiculous enlists wars the white house and the pullout on sunday night saying it will not be present in the region when turkey conducts a planned offensive against Kurdish Forces there kill up and breaks down what we know. Northeastern syria u. S. Forces that have been intermingled with Kurdish Forces are beginning to urgently. Pak and pull out of the region u. S. President donald trump has announced hes pulling them out as at this point it appears that there are a number of tanks and troops are massing on the Turkish Border turkey considers these kurdish militias to be terrorists and it appears to be preparing to cross the Syrian Border to go after them now u. S. President trump after speaking with the turkish president era one has said that theres really no reason for the United States to remain in syria he has announced that u. S. Forces are pulling out this is donald trump the United States whos supposed to be in syria for 30 days that was many years ago we stay to go deeper and deeper into bots who would know him and so its we will fight where is to our benefit and only fight to win trungpa saying that there is simply no benefit for the United States in turkey now there has been widespread kind of outrage from various figures including many of trumps backers about this decision they argue that the usa is essentially hurting its credibility by betraying these Kurdish Forces that they have backed they they fear that perhaps isis could research in the absence of a u. S. Military presence there saying the United States must remain in syria these are critics of trumps recent announcement we must always have the backs of all and if we expect them to have back the currents were instrumental in our successful fight against isis in syria leaving them to die is a big mistake. This decision to abandon their kurdish allies in turn syria over to russia iran and turkey will put every radical islamist on steroids shot in the arm to the bad guys demonstrating for the good guys as noted these are many of trunks trumps backers and supporters in the Republican PartyForeign Policy figures who are critical of his decision but it is important to note that donald trump while he is withdrawing u. S. Forces that he is laying out some pretty clear red lines trumps threat mode seems to be full on as i have stated strongly before and just to reiterate if turkey does anything that i in my great an unmatched wisdom considered to be off limits i would totally destroy and obliterate the economy of turkey ive done before. Now the tone of that tweet is not clear it sounds like a threat however some might interpret it as a joke however for the moment it does seem like it could indeed be a threat against turkey but regardless we have quite an International Reaction to trying to move france and germany are essentially begging turkey to reconsider its plans for an invasion to go after the kurdish militias we have russia reminding everyone that both turkey and United States that syria is indeed a sovereign country and that it has territorial integrity furthermore i weve got reports that the Kurdish Forces are now in talks with damascus about the possibility of damascus protecting them from these potential and pending what seems to be a pending turkish invasion to go after them so its quite a dramatic move but turkey remains silent at this point as its forces are amassing on the border we see troops and tanks amassing on the border that turkey is silent as it appears that there is a pending crackdown over the Syrian Border against the Kurdish Forces that they label terrorists. To another developing story today 217 people have been arrested in Central London today a 2 week climate protests play Extinction Rebellion activists going on the way the group post said it intends to paralyze westminster by blocking roads on transport networks hundreds of people have been changing themselves to be protesting outside Government Departments it is part of a Worldwide Campaign that is expected to take place in 60 major cities protesters have also disrupted traffic and businesses in central and eastern the dreaded berlin despite authorities warning of clintons dutch police say they made 50 arrests near a popular tourist attraction while in berlin run the frozen people blow by german. Authorities say they will stop making a rest for the time being at madrids police say 33. 00 activists were taken to their stations on 3 months to resisting anti riots officers 30 activists have also been after his industry a new zealand Extinction Rebellion has been in the headlights throughout the year with hundreds of activists arrested. And. The types of actions that we want to engage with are disruptive to business as usual but disruptive in a way that is not repellent to observers or outsiders people who may not even consider themselves to be environmentalists or politically active or aware cetera but people who are just. Paying attention in the world and understand that we are in a crisis and so they will be attracted or drawn into the spirit of the rebellion there are many ways to get involved. And we dont really place getting arrested above not getting arrested all along Extinction Rebellions keita moms or the governments declare a Climate Emergency halt the loss of biodiversity and drastically reduce Carbon Emissions by 2025 from seeing it as a peaceful Nonviolent Campaign to potentially holding all the ingredients of an Extremist Movement heres some of the reaction weve been hearing. Extinction rebellion is without question britains Fastest Growing pagan religion and the reason i refer to as a pagan religion is just as all the classic hallmarks of a group of religious fundamentalists a belief that their view is the only view thats acceptable a desire to shut down everything that does not talk to their worldview are they fundamental belief that they are in charge and everybody else also go to their beck and call how do you resolve pollution the result polluted by Technological Advancements the Technological Advancements the Extinction Rebellion oppose what this generation seems to be saying is youve messed things up for long enough youre not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther king jr and malcolm x. And rosa parks and people who decided that peaceful nonviolent public protest. Displays of public outrage but tamed and controlled because dont forget the Extinction Rebellion and anybody whos involved in political activism or any kind of change agenda they going to use your actions and activities against you look Extinction Rebellion of demand effect we have returned to the stone age removal of economic progress a commitment to not grow the economy so essentially the British Government for example has committed to being 0 carbon by 2050 which i think is nominally said suppose you cant or shouldnt trust all words that come to our service we had our city contrast because our number has been in. Every single year if i can speak directly into the camera my 11 year old son who was at home with the band hello guys and we had a debate before it came on tonight about does he want to. Leave school. Take a break for an afternoon or a day to go and protest he was worried about the consequences at age 11 he understands that the climate is suffering and that rapid change is needed we do. Need to talk of pollution but i will tell you something you you reverse the economic advantages of lifted a 1000000000 people up and say how do you do not make the earth a better place Extinction Rebellion lying to you. Or we return to our top story today that of turkey saying that they are imminently going to invade Northern Syria into the kurdish area that is after at the United States donald trump saying they were having their troops leave syria starting from sunday night thats led to a lot of reaction including from European Countries so lets not go to nickel america fits for his take on the nickel is a political analysis and joins us live from france the country youre in right now has warned that a turkish invasion of North Eastern syria could be devastating do you think we will see any concrete measures being taken by e. U. Countries against turkey if it doesnt heed cardio to pieces during this assault no i dont think so i think theres going to be a lot of threats before saying at this stage i dont think theres going to be any any anything more than that dont forget that turkey has a very strong asset against the European Union today with thousands hundreds of thousands of of migrants with you know has already menaced and threatened in the past to open its borders if ever there was a problem or a strong threat against turkey i think those are just a lot of strong threats and concerns and a lot of hypocrisy if syria is in a delicate situation today if there are risks for the humanitarian situation its mainly because some countries like france have been involved in the results in syria for these past years and they have caused the situation how will americas allies overall do you think interpret its up on them until the kurds. Oh very bad dont forget that a lot of these countries i mean france is a perfect example of the model student in the new concern of atlantis campaigns that the u. S. Has been waging across the world these present a case and france has abandoned its on the promise you its abandon its military strength to follow the u. S. In all this kind of patient whether its south ghanas down libya yugoslavia you mentioned that france was there then all of a sudden down trump is just applying one of his Campaign Promises and saying were bringing our boys back home and france abandon its orphan as many other countries within europe within the European Union because they dont know what to do now what are they going to do alone in syria theyre put theyre responsible over the mess that is there they have no military might this mean of military might to do anything alone and they have no Strong Political contacts were the french going to negotiate with the syrians the turks the russians the iraqis they have lost all of this all the quotes from contacts that they could have had. Generations ago but that theyve abandoned to the u. S. And now the u. S. Is saying were going home well you know the truth and to go home to theres another aspect of this the perhaps is being talked about as an aside and that is of course Islamic StateKurdish Forces were instrumental in the fight defeating i what the turkish incursion risk creating conditions ripe for a nice resurgence to think. Well thats a lot of what were reading and a lot of new conservative Mainstream Media this evening i think we should we should not forget that very important persons even within the u. S. Administrations like michael
