Those who have been orphaned our guest debate the issues raised. Some of that will be very dangerous this is bringing back problems. But its. The law its the last response both east. Youre watching are to International Coming to you live from the russian capital where its just turned 5 pm welcome to the program turkeys president is in russias black sea resort city of sochi where hes holding talks with Vladimir Putin which have now stretched on for 3 hours earlier kremlin spokesperson or in the media making any exaggerated forecasts hinting the talks were expected to be tough despite the situation in syria casting a cloud over the genda the president seemed in high spirits when they greeted each other. With you. But with you there was going to. Be possible to be a change. The turkish offensive against Kurdish Forces in syria of course forms the center of their talks president and one has warned it will resume imminently if the u. S. Fails to keep its promises as a 5 day cease fire brokered by washington and at 10 pm local time has more from such as. The current level of trust between the leaders of turkey and russia just how well and gets along with moscow nowadays means that at this point the president s of russia and turkey could find Common Ground on just about anything even though technically with the northeast syria crisis it could be fair to say that moscow and ankara are on the their friend sides of the barricades when no one came to see Vladimir Putin here in saatchi the russian president was confident that their friendship will help. The situation in the region is very delicate we all understand and i think the meeting today is necessary given the level attained by russian relations i hope we can play a role in resolving the difficult questions that have arisen this will be in the interest of Turkey Russia and aid to countries the region. And in fact it could be even more complicated than chess because there are way more than 2 players just think about everything that happened before top aired on came to see Vladimir Putin earlier this month turkey wants to war with the kurds in Northern Syria who by the way for years were fighting Islamic State in that country side by side with American Forces but then also earlier this month we remember that the american President Donald Trump said that his soldiers should get out of there and that left the. Face to face with the might of the turkish army which is also a nato member now just take a listen to one of Donald Trumps very latest statement on that crisis situation with the kurds to be a Good Relationship with us but we dont. You know protect the courage we spoke with them for 4 years we never agreed to protect the kurds for the rest of us but the Kurdish Forces werent alone for a very long time because they managed to hammer out a surprise a license with the damascus government of bashar assad which is obviously backed by russia and by the way as ive said moscow has so far were framed for many strong statements or moves in response to what turkey has been up to like the officials in america for example take one of the latest remarks by u. S. Secretary of state mike who said that the u. S. Is ready for any moves including military action if the Situation Requires this. This is where because the question is whether theyre actually ready to somehow go against a nato ally on the other hand we do have to remember that it was the west Vice President who convinced the turkish president type baird to want to announce the 120 hour cease fire with the kurds and guess when that expires tonight but it will happen after the president s of russia and turkey talk so lets wait for what they decide and what they share with us journalists. We cross live now to security and political analyst omar now xabi now how will the talks between the turkish and russian presence affect the Current Crisis in syria. Well of course this meeting is a central because i think the 5 day truth was. Very important and it ends tonight and therefore there should be a continuation of this kind of stability of the situation so that not more bloodshed to avoid the additional bloodshed now this is a big challenge and i think the talks were complicated we would wait and see the press conference were still waiting for the press conference were still waiting to see what came out of this meeting however i think russia is the in the best position to actually create a kind of a settlement or a kind of an agreement that would conflict down and this is what i had said before on this channel i think that russia has a very good relations with the Syrian Government it is the sitting government that is legally responsible of this whole region that is part of syria so therefore i think and the Russian Forces are there on the ground i think that russia can create a kind of an agreement or a kind of office but have some sort of got emptied that there would be no threats to the turkish territory and the Turkish Border however the Turkish Forces would have to withdraw from this from this area of the Turkish Forces are they locked into withdrawal because they believe that havent completed their mission by actually. Weakening the Kurdish Forces there however the situation cannot go on with the mortar violence because this is an area that is already almost completely destroyed and the turkish agenda is to bring in the actual refugees or part of the refugees and settle them in the safe zone now this is a very big challenge because this saves on has almost no infrastructure it is very difficult to actually maintain life in this zone so this is an area also that will have to be discussed and an issue that will have to be discussed and that was discussed i believe in the beating. Do you think any agreements between the 2 between the russian and turkish president will work without americas participation. Yes yes i think we are living historic times for the 1st time i believe in history and studied history i believe that the russia has a very important impact on the region on this part of the world on the middle east russia had never had you know so much impact on this region as it has today and the americans since the last 50 years they werent as weak and as incredible they dont have any credibility in this part of the world especially after they actually messed up with the peace talks regarding the central issue that is the palestinian issue by moving the embassy to jerusalem so that that made them lose the ability in the region now russia is playing a very Important Role it is the main guarantee for a kind of stability and for an agreement that we can reach hopefully this meeting came up with an agreement i think it is the agreement is the to the interests of the turks because that it is not really a good idea to actually create another award that would lead to more violence and more destruction more threats to turkey. Security and political analysts omar thank you for your time and your comments. The unrest in barcelona shows no signs of easing Pro Independence demonstrations are into their 2nd week now with rioters targeting police again last night amid the Violence Police vehicles were vandalized and protesters also demonstrated outside a government building they want madrid to open talks on catalonia future and say they wont back down. Anyone has become random everyone is together young and old people right and left me oh people are outraged were going to be out in the streets every day we have been protesting peacefully for a lot of years no one hurt us the only thing that we get from the government is beatings and disk. What people have had enough weve reached all breaking point about protesters also booed the spanish Prime Minister on his visit to barcelona on monday spoke to injured officers in the hospital but he refused to meet with the president of the local government. Looks at how the latest protests unfolded. Thank you. But he battleground to barcelona for days or rather nights the city has been reliving the same scenario from a peaceful march to the violence in the flesh of a stun grenade. Spearheading the end raster these guys there arent hiding from the cameras quite the opposite theyre waving flags and dancing theyre not the main force though think of them as cheerleaders but these guys while they are the real deal they hide their faces behind masks and ballet class theyre ruthless and violent theyre armed to what stone spit tronson grenades a new thing they can use to wreak as much havoc as possible their main focus the police. Thank you. And police are facing a difficult task every night they put themselves on the line every night as like a battlefield i cant say these things and it is necessary to distinguish the 2 types of protesters the 1st ones are just demonstrators and theyre nonviolent but theres a group of youngsters who triggered all these violent incidents that we all saw in the photos called it is just as real and the security as violent protesters use dangerous weapons and they threw molotov cocktails and bottles with acid at us it is a new situation for us we havent faced this. On such a level before so yes we feel threatened both spanish and catalan authorities confirm that there are radical elements that hijacked the protests you could have their limited ability i think that the Independence Movement sciences has always been peaceful democratic a nonviolent and it is demonstrating that yes radical groups which weve condemned have created some scenes which weve disliked enormously and which we reject and we condemn. You know police would know that they have the backing of citizens because the guarantor some of the most brushes which is the defense of public and civil rights so thank you for your work and thank you for containment in the face of big. While thousands of barcelona citizens marching average night condemned the recent violence and even try to support the local Police Forces this is hows the building of barcelona pitys quarters looks like at this moment and the citizens of the city continue to bring down worse at the gate and a show of support for the work they have been doing for the past days are fun rest and some have even taking it further and put up posters on the walls which state clearly thank you just because of those i also support the catalogue and i want to say the majority of Police Support the constitution. That i as a catalan and spanish citizen want to say think you believe all that work in the bus or. Have a lot of friends who work for the police and i support them so far the radicals have free frayne from calling for a direct assault on police like in hong kong but with such overwhelming support hope pretty it will never come to that i do not question r t reporting from barcelona. North macedonia has called early elections after a setback and its been. To become an member thats despite the country apparently meeting the conditions laid down for its admission to enter talks along with 5 other balkan states were blocked by france president emmanuel mccrum said that you needed to reform before expanding that decision was criticised by other leaders the outgoing european commission. Said it was an historic error tell the house more. Power its the city of love unless you dont know which is just being dumped by president might call the balkan countries been dealt a bit blow off the e. U. Said no it twits joining its club and like any wrong its the e. U. Is going to look back with regrets she was a great injustice was inflicted on us in brussels the European Union did not deliver on its promise im disappointed and angry but what makes this rejection all the more painful is that northwestern has been gunning to be brought into the fold for a long time and has made several significant sacrifices to that end at all and its worth mentioning by the e. U. Itself for example just over 10 years ago it officially recognized kosovo off to the last declaration of independence from sabia precisely because its the position of both nato and the e. U. But perhaps the biggest compromise it made was when it changed its very dentity to brussels e. U. Member states greece has an ancient region called macedonia and was a bit miffed that just across the border another country was using the very same name taking the high road muster dont you decide to lay the historical dispute to bed. With the e. U. By adding north before it simple but brussels was playing hard to get over all the muck or was off to 7 hours of wrangling behind closed doors the french president vetoed opening talks. On the issue the only one of 28 members to do so and he used the classic its not you its me phrase before we decide to enlarge the e. U. We need to reform ourselves the fallout is potentially significant Prime Minister siva is calling for a snap election ready but more crucially given its violent and troubled past there are now concerns whether this decision will jeopardize peace in the region this is not a moment of glory for the e. U. To refuse acknowledgment of proven progress will have negative consequences including the risk of destabilisation of the western balkans with full impact on the e. U. But that unlike any decent jump to his just not quite ready to close the door on his Love Interest well maybe sometimes when i introduce mr donald to us i would like to send a message. Please you know the give up. I fully understand your frustration. Because she did your show. We have it so also not not just joining the e. U. Is still in the future of North Macedonia but while brussels what some itself may be the balkan country should ask the question what anything have to do would be good enough for there is pure crap in brussels. R. T. Paris. Still to come farmers across europe are unhappy with the latest agricultural plans saying they endanger family run businesses and that after the break. You know world big partners. And conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that midst. Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its tied to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. And what politicians do something. They put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury. Or something want to. Let you go right to the press this is like the 43 in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters in the house. They sit. Back and urgent question on british children trapped in syria has been raised to day in the u. K. Parliament. So our International Allies are already used the 5 day cease fire to fulfill their duties and repatriate their own children if we do nothing will be abandoning our moral obligations and risking those Vulnerable Children who growing up in a war torn area may be turning into terrorists themselves does the u. K. Take responsibility for british children and what do we can answer that in terms of the principle let me be clear we are doing what we can given the difficult circumstances on the ground of course within the rule of law for Vulnerable Children in north east syria this is a peace citys rapidly developing rapidly changing and of course we keep all things under review every single day we delay in actually bringing these Children Home is a day extra of trauma that we are going to have to address at great expense in the United Kingdom i understand really 3 of the children are all foods out of the 60 who are british families so what numbers are we talking about precisely we dont want just 3 children taken out of the 6 and taken out of. That debate came after u. K. Charity demanded the government rescues Young Children born to i saw fighters a british origin and also urged authorities to make use of the current cease fire in northeast syria between turkey and the kurds. We have an opportunity in the next few days urgently to repatriate them to bring them back home these are children in 85 percent of them across these camps are under 12. More than nearly half toddlers so they are not they are innocent children they are not responsible for the crimes that their parents have committed and we need to separate. The charity says 60 u. K. Children are currently trapped in the region the figure is twice that previously reported and many are thought to be under 5 years old however the u. K. Foreign secretary has said britain will only help those who are orphans. In relation to minors unaccompanied minors or orphans i can tell you that assuming that they would represent no security threats we would be willing to see them return home if that can be done in a safe way given the situation on the ground earlier neil harvey discussed the issue with the secretary general of the European Muslim League and the former head of the u. K. Counterterrorism office. Well of course as children they are completely innocent and almost certainly they dont at this moment pose any threat i think the difficulty comes with those that are with their parents who have made the deliberate choice to go to these places and are potentially really very dangerous themselves i disagree britains position. Citizenship i think that is totally rabbits the actions written cup dictate not. Right. And i think now citizenship should be restored we havent brilliant legal sys
