D. A. And the increase in right wing violence citizens of foreign descent are being denied their Human Dignity its so dangerous because it brings some to a point where they commit a crime here we have a fatal disinhibited at work and the ev d. Bears responsibility for that too 9 people were killed this week 2 shooting incidents at 2 separate she should bars in the city of homs now all of those that were killed were from an immigrant background most of them were young people as well we heard from one eyewitness who described for us the scenes of that night. The man came in and started shooting at a kiosk then he came to us and shot the 1st person in the head then shot of the 2nd person well drop down to the ground i pretended to be dead we all pretended to be dead and we all fell down and he the shooter had emptied his magazine by then and just run away so i opened my eyes i was ok i was still alive but i just didnt want to believe it was real i asked units of everything was ok he groaned he got me he got me there was a hole in his neck i shouted the other guy to ask if he was ok he hadnt seen a bullet in the shoulder.

An manage to fight against us because they have no real political arguments and pull in the political discussion so therefore they are always just trying to push us into a right to wring corner sort of that people. Should be afraid to even to talk to ours to listen to our political arguments we are living in a very heavy political oppression in my mind germany is already a case for. Survival and the next elections because we are not we are not free. To express what we want our people are permanently under a tag of left extremist and. You know what what happened now is that we are putting in the corner where we belong. As fighting rages in syrias Northwestern Province russias calling on turkeys all out refugees their safe passage to areas under the control of president assad their request comes after Turkish Backed rebel fighters launched an offensive against the government positions near the town of el nettled one thursday. With an estimated 900000. 00 people displaced by the violence the u. S. Lawmakers have called for secretary of state to the dip to take diplomatic action against syria and russia at the same time the American Military officials have also acknowledged the complexity of the situation in libya and getting the province has become a haven for extremist factions. And seems to be a magnet for terrorist groups especially because it is an ungoverned space in many ways the rev wright of groups there all of them are a nuisance a menace in a threat to hundreds of thousands of civilians who are just trying to make it through the winter. Takes a closer look now at how would labors become a key flashpoint in the syrian conflict drawing in compared competing international powers. Its 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 we beat them badly all that is a thing of the past now as new goals vividly take shape the latest fighting in idlib 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 if. 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 very committed to making it live a safe place for both 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 was president her 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 in a cheap a pullback of assad Regime Forces to the 2800. 00 so she ceasefire lines the us 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 act 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 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 the 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. The United Nations a sharply criticized broad is in central ukraine off they attacked a bus taking evacuees from china to a quarantine facility in the spread of the new coronavirus dozens of locals in demonstrated against the arrival of 45. 00 nationals and 27. 00 foreigners from the city at the epicenter of the outbreak. Was. Well the flight from the chinese city of tens of thousands of people have been infected landed in the ukrainian city of kharkiv from thursday in the clashes left Police Officers and one civilian injured little quarter has the details 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 would be hard to match the anger brewing in ukraine to just that situation. Oh. Oh. 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. The buses 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 find ways to blow it close to those 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. Were going as well as the fans and Aerospace Company systems has received the rows of online criticism off to its chief executive boast the bump of profits over the last year. 29. 00 teams a good year for the company we grew sales by 7 percent. And that enabled us to grow our dividend by 4 and a half percent which is the greatest increase weve had with dividends in the past 8 years. Be a systems is the largest defense contractor in europe on the 4th largest in the world and its most lucrative markets is saudi arabia which accounts for 15 percent of its annual Group Earnings the companys dealings with the riyadh have been repeatedly called into question though over accusations the gulf kingdom has committed numerous war crimes in yemen. In the conflict there and 20 students have intervened in the support of internationally recognized government in its fight against u. T. Rebels since then the war has claimed over 100000 lives many more people have been displaced be has always insisted it complies with all arms laws and sing regulations but thats not stop to the online criticism. So glad killing people has brought you a nice dividend manufacturing weapons of death and sell them to questionable states to murder kids but well done the east systems profits more than just financial killing. Didnt at the expense of human lives murderers. Andrew smith is a Media Coordinator for the campaign against the arm straight you told us earlier the government is think to take far more stringent approaches to weapon sales. Criticism has to be that it is arming and supporting some of them due to the interests of the she was in the bottle just as putting weapons into a war zone in yemen which is make the situation in measurably worse because rate no the thing to objects which are made by systems are flying over yemen theyre firing missiles which you need by. Missile company which has one virtue and by systems longer about what is going on and more they have profiteered because where everybody is war and conflict there will always be major armed companies trying to profit from it because the problem isnt just the companies what will the companies do have responsibility of a problem are a bit governments who are taking such a relaxed approach to arms that the arms control and are actively arming and supporting human rights abusing regimes dictatorships in war zones around the world its bats lead is about level of Political Support for the arms industry which really needs which needs to stop immediately. But i have this friday the past comes back to bite britain as the e. U. Backs greece overturning some long ford over ancient artifacts and its all about a brick said well have more that story and other still to come. In the United States president ial candidates debate the future of the u. S. And the world. Max kaiser and Stacy Herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one topic every week. Student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic. And more catch up with whats front running this sunday exclusively on r. T. Bob dylan once said money doesnt talk it screams 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 arrangement syndrome. And maybe even. Through. The program a tug of war between the u. K. And greece sculptures the scene athens foyle failed for decades to secure the return of the relics it says was stolen. Could be about to change all that with the e. U. Reportedly backing greeces claim to the so called english model. Of brussels could now push britain to return to the collection was originally part of the pilot in athens but its currently on display in the British Museum in london greece claims the wobbles were stolen in the 19th century while britain had acquired them legally and isnt budging. The 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 or as cultural historian and when the social commentator mowen saw whether the buttocks should be returned. 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 is awash now adays in a i hate saying it but in a relatively woken like in 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 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 and stewardship of the times in me 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 continue to understand 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 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 to so i think britain. Its 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 britain are thinking about how do we have a future where were free of a bureaucracy outside of britain that were not that is not accountable to us and how can we can tie on a far lighter and run a losing argument. Well ok thats your opinion. The pentagon report has accused the u. S. Military of failing to keep track of weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars in syria its just weapons were left vulnerable to loss or 5th which hasnt turned scarlet it operational course has had other major consequences as well or more not now from caleb moore but 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 no did not account
