Families in the west african country of mali are seeking answers about a french airstrike believed to have killed eleven local soldiers its been more than two months since the bombing raided the fishelson both sides have given conflicting versions of water and r. T. Spoke with the relatives of one of the soldiers my nephew was taken prisoner during the attack on the no power security post there were people dead. People wounded and people missing. I ask for anyone who can help us get out of here dont leave us in this place. The french intervened to destroy a jihadi camp during this intervention eleven mali and soldiers lost their lives. The operations are good so that sarahs Training Camp and the notes on was the presence of molly soldiers established. That there were eleven hostages found on this site and all of them died during this operation one day they tell us that the hostages were there during the bombing and the next day the tell us otherwise. Certain media wanted to say that their levon mali and hostages that were at this site had joined the Jihadi Movement we consider that to be an insult to the memory of these men who lost their lives in the service of the nation. They were indeed hostages of terrorists and they should not be any ambiguity between a french friends and us. Both because superior phone me saying that after checking they found no evidence as to whether boubacar is dead or alive while waiting to receive news regarding our son or france launched a campaign in mali back in twenty fourteen after islamist militants seized parts of the country around four thousand french troops are now involved in the ongoing anti terror operation and a few weeks ago the u. K. Agreed to bolster the count by with attack helicopters a military academy in kabul is hit by explosions and gunfire two days off after us one hundred people died in a terror attack in the Afghan Capital more on that after the break. When i was told something seemed wrong why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape out these days comes to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Level walk sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the Chicken Hawks forcing you to fight the battles going. To socks for the tell you the lobby gossip the public i fell. Off the back telling me you are not cool enough to buy their products. All the hawks that we along with all the walking. Welcome back and we resume with some news from afghanistan local media are reporting intense gunfire and several explosions coming from a military academy in the capital kabul well for more on this lets cross live now to local Journalist Bill also well hi there bill all can you tell us what you know so far. What we know from eyewitnesses and local residents outside of the marshal for him National Defense university theyre still gunfire the attack started around five oclock this morning when it was dark we are being told by some sources that the attackers had night vision goggles and that the used an Afghan National Army Vehicles one eyewitness who is a resident inside an internally displaced peoples camps told me that he can see a ladder that was used by one of the attackers to climb on the wall and then a blanket or some sort of clothing was placed on the barbed wire. This attack comes after kabul has experienced at least two didley attacks in the last few weeks so it is another intelligence in security breach. This also is quite surprising because kabul was placed on a high state of security alert and one would think that the government would really be able to be able to prevent these attacks from the point of view of seven Million People who live in kabul yesterday afghanistans security cabinet came to a press conference in there were very adamant that they were good at their job in that they really turned down suggestions by some angry citizens that they should really resign and they were just boasting of success on the battlefield and they said they were doing their jobs obviously this attack just shows you how volatile the security situation remains the academy was attacked last year in a Suicide Attack as well and this is afghanistans only hold for a better leadership within the military institutions this is belt after the sam harris military academy in the u. K. It is. Legacy of British Military after they left helm suffering both casualties and fatalities this was one of their major engagements here in afghanistan and the academy has really had both male and female candidates so i would just think that this attack will further undermine the confidence of the people in the state of security and it will actually raise some serious questions how many more of these sleeper cells are in kabul city how many more of these attacks and what if anything the Afghan Government is doing in terms of a strategy thats working to stop these attacks from taking place. Plenty of questions right there bill also ari in kabul thank you very much indeed thanks. Well as mentioned those events in kabul come two days after a taliban suicide bomber killed one hundred three people and injured two hundred thirty five in the Diplomatic Quarter of the city. And the. Closer i have a store near the site of the blast when the car blew up i fell to the ground my brother was injured i took him to hospital it was already overwhelmed so i put a bandage on my brothers wound and took him to another facility as. Such lots of shopkeepers here were wounded and killed the attack was devastating i saw peoples limbs line on the ground. Well saturdays bombing was the deadliest terrorist attack in afghanistan since the truck blast last may which killed one hundred fifty and it follows a recent rise in violence across the country on wednesday gunmen stormed a save the Children Office in the city of jalalabad and also detonated a car bomb outside the premises at least six people were killed and dozens more injured Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. Itself. Reports in germany this week claimed the number of islamic extremists inside as east europe is being under reported by Angela Merkels government these are based on classified documents obtained by Germanys Left Party arties peter oliver as the story theres a growing threat from islamic extremism in europe based in the balkans and the German Government is keeping it to itself but thats according to a highly classified report thats being seen by some left party m. P. s the media. The German Federal government cannot discount the basic threat posed by individuals and splinter groups in the islamist scene in bosniaherzegovina. The hush hush document goes as far as to claim that theres a direct link between radical islamic groups in Bosnia Herzegovina and people in germany the true nature of what this heavily classified report says doesnt come out parts of it were redacted from the copy that was shown to the left party the federal government has been trying to downplay the growing islamist threat in public furthermore its entirely unacceptable that the government continues to cover up the role of the gulf states my colleague charlotta been ski travel to Bosnia Herzegovina back in december she witnessed firsthand the situation on the ground there regarding islamic radicalization the local imaam is telling me that some of the residents have joined Islamic State in this when a lot of the you know that there are people who went to syria and forth on the side of bicycle but who tried to stop them and what it looks like an ordinary sleepy village a few houses nestled between the hills not how you might imagine a cradle of terror. A local a man says he fears for his life after speaking out against those who joined eisel we would do with these radical elements are always unpredictable and these people breed with me the aid at the same table as me and they want to shoot me this has been edited version of the report issued by the government raises a lot of questions over what exactly germany knows about islamic radicalization in the balkans and how bad the situation actually is as we see in the arts or to our parliamentarian question the German Government gives the ex the types expertize that it doesnt explicitly in the gate the possibility that single persons or groups belong to the islamistic scene of bosnia or else the governor could be a threat to germany and europe but in the same time the government in guys to speak about it Financial Transactions that are provided for example by the growth states or target of the bike and states as well as the sending of the moms by the states and contrary to the german secret service. The German Government tries to hide the fact of growing danger coming from islam is the groups from the public. In northern colombia two officers have died and ones been injured in an explosion at side a Police Station is the latest in a serious a bomb attacks on Police Stations in the country this weekend the deadliest happened on saturday morning when five officers were killed more than forty people were also injured including civilians.

Now if someone asks where are you from would you be offended that question has stirred debate about racism after a social Media Campaign was launched in sweden arties hunnish assess he explains. Well from sounds like an innocent enough question doesnt it but it could land you in trouble heres what i actually have to explain that i first need to tell you about an online Campaign Launched in sweden to help expose racism hash tag no stranger we hope to raise Awareness Regarding the extensive issue of racism that actually does exist in sweden although many want to believe that we live in the worlds most tolerant country they are dearest schecks parents as of being subjected to racism and tens out asking why are you from rep some people up the wrong way even though i was born here people always ask me where im from i hate it when they do that nobody put on a decide where my home is where i come from doesnt concern you and it shouldnt matter i say shouldnt we ever ask people about their country of origin to be on the safe side. Well heres some advice from a man behind the hashtag no stranger campaign you can also question just make sure you do it right its ok to wonder about someones country of origin but it should not be the very first thing to ask a stranger about because the reaction that follows is usually very stereotypical and racist like oh youre from viet nam i think its quite terrible that you guys eat dogs. So its name fest origin night and no follow up questions got it.

That it was love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. I remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and its happening its happened. To one british man using an impressive rate and sit over Nuclear Exchange so let me sway. In this descent to see that. Weve done just. Hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered on Peter Lavelle release the memo russia gate morphs into the f. B. I. Gate also are the u. S. And turkey on the path to confrontation in syria and the great debate in Jordan Peterson is called a one man army and is taking the internet by storm. Cross talking f. B. I. Gate im joined by my guest mark sloboda hes an International Affairs and security analyst we also have a hes a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and we have Dimitri Bobbitt she is a political analyst with Sputnik International red cross the girls in effect and you always can jump in. Me go to you first hear. A were going to see a new member new debate. Like who lost turkey because if you remember when the communists came to power in china that was lost china and it ruined a lot of careers because people didnt get it right ok. Whos losing turkey whos gaining turkey going well let me remind you that in one thousand nine hundred eighty there was a big debate who was russia and the it was at the times when supposedly russia was so democratic mr yeltsin was still in power in these all those guys two boys and those who called to report called it s. Called us all out of a few billion dollars right there thats about all the all the yeltsins guys the younger forms but whats going on now between turkey and the United States is unbelievable i mean trying to remove a relatively loyal regime in syria which you know mr us with was oriented towards the European Union more than towards russia the United States would need to almost a much more important country turkey but what it might lose lose it a line and some top of it go ahead of the United States to the crease is a very stark choice the us has the cure in syria as a is the only force the only viable for it and theyre in bed with us with with the kurds that that would support the partition of the factual partition of syria and that supports the u. S. And and if so the u. S. Can support the curates and then it gets the. We see that happening now who are the United States going to stop supporting the curates that turkey would be happy about that but then the United States would be left with almost no credible serious support force see and taste to it and no reason to justify their continued presence is a kind of choice is ally with the curates and have to keep it as is an adversarial power considering that turkey has the second largest army in. Late that of a very serious question sure you know. One of the things is to do one he cant afford to lose in syria hes put too much into it oh yeah hes politically security invested i dont believe that peace in syria is possible. The question isnt while charlock sought continues in syria but well ordered god continues in ankara. God must go hash tag or to go what is that youve been in the military what is the possibility of some kind of confrontation you know because just as i just said and you just said you know one is not going to back down this means a lot to him and his legitimacy at home and the ongoing problem theyve had with the United States is it isnt so important to the United States because if you look at the the Defense Community Intelligence Community even in the u. S. Theyre divided about whats going on yet in fact youre starting to see splits not only among the administration but in the for instance policy blob between the neo cons and the liberal imperialists theyre divided on this issue and victor is exactly right you either get a kurdish protectorate carved out of syria to continue to destabilize syria and weak in iraq and thus by weakening one of their allies or you get to make continue your relationship with turkey as a member of nato and then a u. S. Turkish alliance which allows u. S. Military bases in turkey that their flights are necessary for controlling the region also gives the United States access to the black sea which is russias underbelly of course so theres big geopolitical questions here but obviously this is a self created blowback weve been saying on the show all along that if the u. S. Tried to partition east syria with the kurds it would face blowback politically both from turkey and from iraq likewise erdogan has created this situation where he calls kurdish terrorists theres no evidence that any. Syrian kurds have been involved in terrorism on his territory but he created this by illegally arming training and cellaring sectarian militants you know the United States. Were arming him and supporting the kurds are there is one thing in a bottle of this situation the final you become of the truth about the United States financing terrorists out of the mold of babes no out of the mouth of mr had to go and so hes the guy who. Well thats why you see its not exactly a challenge to the model to be no shortage of people who are being punished in terrorism. But here basically admit to something that all the other need to remember us have no home but they have been hiding it yet so ever theyre gonna put in these. Where he drove himself by his decision to change the regime in syria he is now im sorry hes now spewing the truth let me know where to go if i want to if i go if i put in. The existence the possibility of a kurdish state when Turkish Border is an existential threat to a president of literature and thats where his name is there anything else would do right now do exactly what theyre going to hes doing these are the curates yes he made mistakes i agree wholeheartedly with mark as far as that he got the start he was one of those that supported the Syrian Civil War he created the situation where the syrian kurds who were who have now more power and more autonomy and more willingness to act against the occasion to the interests then i always explain to everyone that he has to choose now i mean if he continues down this path and wants to drive all the way all the way to the iraqi border here i mean is he going to have to choose nato or not nato but the level of negotiations agrees or disagrees and he hes not willing at this point to take out of need to there isnt even the mechanism set for that. But at the same time to ricky and the gun is not going to do anything that will endanger the National Security and seventy of that if you look at what is whos bluffing here mark everyones blood everyones everyone is bluffing at this point including the Syrian Government and russia the kurds in africa have now officially called publicly for the Syrian Government to help come in and protect them against the turkish invasion this isnt going to be met because they arent fully they didnt fully agree to demands that russian the Syrian Government sent for them which included completely dismantling the kurdish militias and either moving east to the us controlled territory or joining the syrian army plus relinquishing control of oil fields in Eastern Syria which if you deem if the kurds before this incursion started a little over a week ago if theyd just taken the deal to pick up the syrian flag that wouldve no no thats that was the that was the minimalist demand they accepted that there was a maximalist demands from russia and the Syrian Government and there was no negotiation a compromise position should have been official the kurds or alfre offered that at the time they are offering that now thats not and has a habit of choosing the wrong side well you know its one one one chooses the wrong side one place and thats what the kids are doing now lets hope that the goods will have a voice at the congress of all the syrian minorities that is going to be held in sochi you know in the coming days but actually if you look at the pattern it repeats itself in syria you know the foreign invader im sorry theyve been trying to remove the Syrian Government created more and more programs you know that the states intervened in syria in order to replace a person who was not actually and they west and mr ross up and theyve got a terrible problem with the Islamic State you know which was much more dangerous than ten loss of state them together right. You wanted to put it its all people in power in syria theyve got their kurdish state grade next to the border. Its the worst possible outcomes if you look at it i mean how does this change mean the rest of syria we have reconciliation going on
