providing it's not. just paying money. here in moscow thanks for joining us. with us. where a former spokesperson for a syrian rebel group has been arrested on charges of war crimes torture has lived in hungary for several months before being granted a student scholarship and must say your thirty's were only tipped off after a human rights group pointed out his real identity. looks at the loophole that allowed him into the e.u. . torture kidnapping war crimes these are just some of the charges brought against the syrian he was named on a student visa he went by the name of mushed enough may in france back in syria he was is a lowish no ordinary stews and t. is said to have once been jayashri islams press secretary previously nor did his freedom fighters the hardline islamist group in fact carried out a reign of terror in the eastern ghouta suburb of damascus. when you look. in his linked in profile he describes himself as being specialized in security and terrorism affairs with a focus on syria he boasts of an impressive academic background with bachelor's degrees from not one but chiefly diversity's including in hungary and when it comes to experience he mentions being the c.e.o. of the syrian news monitoring network may trace of the allegations of torture or forced in this moment of children raising his history seems an apt given that all islam ceased to exist back in 2018. as the battle for eastern ghouta played out the french government said it was concerned about a grave violation of human rights and it called for a cease fire now while it acknowledge the presence of just harvests it also accused president assad of using the ongoing conflict as a fig leaf to wipe out any opposition. the syrian regime and its allies are brandishing the fight against jihad his fighters the need for which no one is disputing as just if occasion of an offensive and as entirely different goals its real intentions are indeed to annihilate any a normal position and break the morale of civilians by indiscriminately massacring them following that offensive in eastern guta by the syrian army generational islam was talked balt last year a complaint was filed to the courts in france and josh and the senior members and no wanted criminals the complaint filed in june 29th teen was built on over 3 years of documentation of the crimes perpetrated by jaish al islam summary executions kidnappings and the systematic use of torture the group targeted people suspected of complicity with the regime but also ordinary civilians accuse of not applying the shari'a imposed by the group rigorously enough the international federation for human rights says the arrest of most enough where in march say paves the way for the 1st investigation of the rebel groups crimes others may be hoping that arrests such as this will help shed more light for crimes committed by opposition forces during the syrian conflict giving a fuller picture of what really happened on the ground. altie paris political analyst and economy recovered she believes they'll be fear and anger unless the government handles these cases properly. once you enter the european union you can go more or less where you want there are no border controls how we entered hungry would be an interesting question to know that what is. prosperous and this in this situation is that he entered legally he wasn't even hiding he was living in the white which is a neighborhood in the center smack in the center of more state starting in france with no problem whatsoever that means the police cannot do their job properly today in western europe they don't even know who's in the country we've gotten so low as to say that we don't even we don't even know if you've got the means to stop terrorists we don't even know if terrorists are in the country we know there are some but we don't know how many and it's you know it's already difficult capturing those who are not even hiding so i think definitely this is going to hurt a bit the government because this is very bad press very bad press having a terrorist. somebody accused of terrorism entering illegally come from another country going to legal it's a university this is very bad press so there might be some who's in the following days but i think unfortunately if the government doesn't handle the process of immigration legal immigration early in the go the immigration and the secret service if the government doesn't tackle these issues seriously unfortunately this these types of stories are going to continue in time. the state of iowa is wordle begins for u.s. presidential hopefuls this year with the democrats currently holding tight for the results of their 1st caucus now the way it is reportedly are for a strong voter turnout also problems with a new mobile up hacking incident the democrat chairman 4 i was most busy paul has claimed numbers could be twice as high as the last election back in 26th in a state of i was the start of what's known as the u.s. presidential primaries it's the 1st meaningful vote for the democratic party hopefuls in recent times the winner of iowa has gone on to be confirmed as the presidential candidate. according to a poll by the new york times bernie saunas is currently leading with 3 percent says the channel discussed the event with democratic strategist nice across and conservative commentator real reality topping. the best weekend ever and probably the most surprising we can ever have been bernie i don't think that anyone could have prognosticated 234 weeks ago that bernie would have had the standing that he has and i will right now no one projected him to be in the top spot and i was and i think that a lot has changed over the past few weeks and he's really shown a strong ground game he's really shown that he can elevate his message and he's shown that even though he does stand left the center in terms of the typical moderate candidate that democrats would like to have put forward on multiple occasions he's still able to withstand all of the criticisms and fail on through and i think he's doing a very strong job and i would i would say that probably joe biden had the worst weekend because he was leading in the polls so much going into this and then we've seen some of the other candidates particularly bernie ism you should just point it out just gradually chipping away at that lead and one of the things that i think things that i think is very interesting is that biden just seems to lack a passion for why he's running and we've seen through the years that something that's really important to voters important is i what is in terms of the fundraising apparatus that comes after you when i was it is typically the race that sets the stage for the rest of the the rest of the campaign cycle in terms of people taking your campaign fiercely i would argue that biden doesn't necessarily need people to take his campaign seriously the democratic party he is a former vice president he's well known in the senate he was a vice president who won the most popular democratic presidents in the history of this country so i think that it means more right now and i was particularly for candidate like mayor pete who needs that momentum to keep going through this process well as we've seen it's all about momentum once things get kicked off in iowa the momentum of how you perform there really carries over into new hampshire and some of the other primaries and caucuses that we see as well. well speculation is also filing online over one of the most anticipated polls in iowa being cancelled any sign of supporters claim establishment couldn't take seeing their candidate out in front of the county poll in des moines has always been considered a good way to predict how the result will vote news network c.n.n. reported an accidental irregularity in questions given to one of the candidates but bernie sanders supporters say they suspect foul play. bernie sanders is winning iowa and the des moines register not releasing their poll tonight over one poll voters' concern proves that they don't want to show how much bernie was winning and this was the easy way out the pool that really matters is the des moines register's c.n.n. poll that they decided not to release an hour before there was supposed to be keeping in mind indorsed warren and c.n.n. is openly and to sunders l.o.l. des moines register trying to help the democrats make burn sanders go. ahead from a former war veteran an activist who claims the media is abusing its power when it comes to portray that. well obviously know that the power of the media and the way media has been. portrayed in this election an obviously specifically bernie sanders everything that they've been trying to throw at bernie sanders to chime push away from him there's more awareness of how the system works and the fact that the system doesn't work the turnouts at the rallies the number of people making phone calls the number of people knocking on the doors is you know witness test for for actually not being scared or understanding that it's even more important now to have someone like bernie sanders in the office so so that social movements in different organizations can get a lot more done in our communities. britain is rolling out the green carpet as the country's energy regulator has unveiled plans to scrap gas heating and put thousands of electric cars on the road by 2050 lorries that will hit the most vulnerable in the pocket with every house in the counter entrant set to pay more as audi shut it was dusty explains that's not the only concern. well this is it the moment we've all been waiting for the beginning of the end of carbon emissions as the u.k. could be on the path to nets there are a monday the u.k.'s office for gas and electricity markets all of jam presented its new action which is aimed at transforming the country's infrastructure to make it more eco friendly britain has come a long way it is d.-ca but ice faster than any other major economy but we must go further particularly on heat and transport we are taking an approach that recognizes that all role protecting consumers includes a cheering net 0. it is now vital that the energy industry rises to the challenge and demonstrates how it will work with the government and off jam to decarbonise britain's energy system at lowest cost well it's a $9.00 point plan and if you don't drive electric car yet you may be in trouble as under the scheme 10000000 petrol diesel cars will be replaced with the greenham appeals and for the time being you better keep your winter jackets on because gas central heating is to be ripped from every single home well the plan also wants to shift towards renewable sources of energy like solar and wind which is great news for g.b. then with all the rain so how much will this cost well as digraphs that would put it you can put a price on saving the globe can you and doesn't have a direct answer either recognizes that there are tradeoffs to overcome such a scale is spreading the cost of a low carbon energy system between today's and tomorrow's consumers when apparently this $9.00 point plan is all down to you so we could all go up in smoke when you know how much you can set you back while the rollouts alone of electrical vehicles could be $2000000000.00 pounds a year which is the equivalent to 30 pounds on every household bill. chandler to place you should have spent. i think. the fix is going to be good for the planet and if we do have to pay a bit more money then yeah i live. in a freezing cold tap system so that's my. baby know not to not double. i guess providing it's not done and i want to buy since with people just paying money out. there so that i mean well jim could cause an uncomfortable atmosphere as it has a history of hiking prices for consumers for its own good just a few days ago the national audit office revealed that electric bills were unnecessarily high fee yes setting the public back 100000000. pounds annually but if it's all spread out equally for the good of the planet then 1st right well the royals wouldn't get the woman's reception on this one when prince charles hopped on his private helicopter producing c o 2 emissions to get to climate change conference this in order for him to undertake as many engagements as he does across the u.k. and around the world he sometimes has to fly as he has often said assume is there is a more sustainable way of making these journeys he was the 1st to use it for the time being there are many the 5 alternatives all the flying around we think is silly because for me this whole become him to you sort of thing i get that he's a boy and he needs to be. high security. yeah this makes sense. to use it for a 1001 it's hard to believe when buckingham palace top the list for the most environmentally damaging buildings in london all about the time when how majesty used the state's poverty fund to heat a humble abode i don't think robin hood would approve but when it comes to the climate it seems likely over the way britain should brace themselves be ready for the additional financial sacrifice everything is on the altar of a carbon free future. i have this out of the deadly coronavirus has claimed another victim outside of china that story and more still to come. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by strong person of those great. thinks. we dare to ask. when i was told seemed wrong on one old roll just told. me the world to get to shape out this day because the educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program the corona virus outbreak has claimed its 1st victim in hong kong according to local media experts say though the mortality rate is much lower compared to the through 2003 sars epidemic and this time around the chinese authorities have put in place of president measures with over a dozen cities and millions of people to look down the one of those cities is where the code of virus was 1st recorded last year here's a look at what life is like in the city right now as seen by a local journalist. given the potential human to human transmission there's no public transportation in the epicenter of the coronavirus the city is situated by younger river near where i'm standing and locals may take ferries from one side to the other side and commute by buses taxis and subways then and we can read a notice saying at a stop each of the ferry began at $950.00 on january 23rd in there is no definite for the recovery to hans health authorities has issued a travel ban to album tourist groups and vehicles entering and leaving the city will be subject to checkpoints where the temperature of passengers will also be monitored there has been no outdoor entertainment over the chinese new year which is absolutely unprecedented of the traditional holiday was extended by a week that many non essential sectors have now prolonged the holidays even further shopping malls restaurants and cinemas that are a jewel of b.z. during this period all closed but it's a very different story for hospitals here remarkable stuff have been working around the clock ignoring dire need of resources over the past week we've seen 60 men. teams from across the country featuring 6000 personnel arrive in the city this includes teams dispatched from the military the delhi actual head says china is setting a new benchmark in its response to the outbreak he praised the speed with which china detected the outbreak isolated the virus sequenced the genome and shared it with the organization meanwhile we've also seen a considerable hot international airliners flying into will harm you as airports both in china and in about 70 countries have introduced measures to restrict travelers from the city and this all comes despite opposing travel restrictions among the patients i interviewed a nurse who was effective with the current of ours during her work and she has now recovered and will go back to work soon another nurse i spoke to quarantine herself for a week meaning she was unable to breastfeed her 6 month old son fortunately her husband was able to contact breast milk donors through social media and after receiving support the men said he felt there is power in unity and love so amid the crisis there are still touching moments in the virus city. iran has dampened the mood over the opening of a new swiss payment mechanism be channel was set up to our lifesaving aid to be sent to the public what about a case of any risk of falling foul of american sanctions toronto or believes america is still depriving it of essential food and medical supplies are constantly imposing penalties. this channel fall short of implementing the international court of justice order which ruled that the united states does not have the right to block the entry of food and medicine into iran this is not a sign of america's good intentions it is not even a sign that the united states has taken the smallest step in the direction of fulfilling its commitments or the new set up humanitarian channel for food and medicine has already started shipping cancer on organ transplant drugs united states that china will come under strict scrutiny to in the short iran isn't misusing it although ron i will use as much of it's own basic medicine advance treatment is generally imported but as the wars between washington and tehran deepens vital momentum is getting harder to obtain and 20th teen alone 56000 patients died of cancer in these out of public just one year period between 2018 and 19 the cost of medical services rose by 19 percent and washington nervous the sanctions are not hurting the industry since medicine doesn't fall under the sanctions. i want to talk directly to the iranian people to dispel myths about u.s. sanctions that continue to be promoted by the iranian regime myth number one the united states sanctions medical supplies going to the iranian people the truth is that the united states exempts by the medical devices for the iranian people earlier we spoke to professor from tehran and of us a to explain why iran is still experiencing medical shortages despite the sector being exempt from u.s. penalties. the americans are saying that they have not sanction humanitarian goods which is medicine and food but in reality because iran is not able to do financial transaction and also because of the fact that the reigning in transportation is under sanction essentially it is very difficult to import and export any goods and it doesn't matter whether this is medicine or food or any other material for that matter are so it has had a very real effect on iran now iran actually imports over $4000000000.00 of medicine and medical goods every year and what this happened through the so-called suicide shanel is only $2500000.00 so it is essentially peanuts considering would you on any iran is a country of 80000000 what do you on really need is is much much bigger than what this was n.b.c. carried out recently. a wave of protests is expected to shake several european ports this week over the arrival of a saudi call give us all those against the ship
