Surveillance including on the leaders yes people in new york and london for the china or the u. S. Is the biggest spike. Over us probably us anybody having. Access to a. Very good afternoon thanks for joining us here on marty international. Ok our top story this hour turkeys president says its only a matter of time until he launches a military operation in the syrian province of idlib reject added that hes been dissatisfied by talks with russia on the situation. He has made all kinds of preparations to implement its operational plan. As a narrowing operation we. Can suddenly one night to put it more clear. Operation is now a matter of time we will not leave to the regime that still does not understand our countrys determination in this matter and to those who encourage it we never intend to shoulder the burden that the developments of this region place on our country. All Syrian Regime forces are currently. Trying to drive armed militants and islamists out of the province. Has failed to separate the moderate opposition from the terrorists the last rebel standing in syria at home to a number of militants but it shows a Turkish Military convoy crossing the Syrian Border a large line of tanks Armored Vehicles and supply trucks are reportedly moving towards the outskirts of. Michael green for nationalists across the story for us to be in the studio what is the situation in a deliberate at the moment or it has been in turbulence for quite some time already for many months as you mentioned the situation on the ground remains very dramatic terrorist activity there is very high and you have to remember its a bar street in in syrias north home to up to 3000000 people including civilians and theyre very often used by terrorist as a human shield and its clear for everybody that actions are needed urgently to protect these people from the other hand the attacks by turkey backed armed forces based in either lip against syrian army continue and these also should be stopped and countering them is something what damascus military operation on the ground in the. Basically a adds and its not that mr i have the gun is not happy with how things develop on the ground no one is in fact happy if no one. Is to blame for the situation thats a very good question but it depends on who you ask both sides are are blaming each other we hear from russia and its position is quite clear remains the same the Turkish Military operation on. Syrian soil its another state you have to remember that would be the worst Case Scenario and we heard that from president spokesperson earlier on wednesday Dmitry Peskov and russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov also commented on mr gun statement in the similar way. To separate militants from terrorists in the timeframe under the 2018 agreement at the same time provocations from the zone shearling of the Syrian Armed Forces civilian targets and the russian base have continued naturally the Syrian Armed Forces reaffirming their commitment to the original. Including cease fire agreements respond to such an acceptable provocations and we support them in this. All what mr lover of is talking about is last year sorta agreement that turkey and russia came to this is when both sides were equally happy and satisfied and according to these agreements turkish responsibility to i repeat it again to separate socalled like hardline terrorists and islam is based in and socalled moderate opposition and talk to that and of course them believe these area and it hasnt been done properly it hasnt been achieved never its in turkey its turkish responsibility so turkey is failing and the syrian army this is what lopper overstressing activity in. Right now is nothing but a reaction to the activity from these terrorists so instead of accusing damascus and more why doesnt an carollo there is i mean i mean its commitments you mentioned it depends who you ask is what kind of answer you get 1st the russian standpoint how does turkey see the situation while turkey is very clear turkey is accusing most and damascus of of. Escalating the situation of. Agreements and mr. Gun went as far as threatening syrian army and setting deadlines i mean threatening with a military operation on syrias territory and its not for the 1st time that we hear mr the gun talking about military operation this is turkish president just recently. The Syrian Regime as well as the Russian Forces and iran backed militants with and are continuously attacking civilians committing massacres and causing bloodshed and we hear that despite numerous talks that turkish and russian sides have been having in the last days including between foreign and defense minister is so its really interesting why the gun changed so dramatically brass the raid that we can remember that somehow ironically coincide with a dramatic shift in ankara washington relations with sanctions lifted with mr paul openly say that america is ready to stand by its nato ally and mr trump openly and directly backing at the guns actions in syria that a very good job or say should with president her to one i respect him we have a very Good Relationship yes i agree hes a tough guy but we have a very Good Relationship by simply do better with the people but the fact is that hes fighting audit led he doesnt want people to be killed by the thousands and hundreds of thousands and he called me about that and other reasons but we spoke about it live and were working together on what could be. So here is something new for mr trump for mr theyre gone both america and turkey change their rhetoric and its not helping things on the ground and i think spammer if national with the background to the through the forests lets get some analysis now. From the 4th hes a former u. K. Ambassador to syria and also to bahrain welcome peter lets start with. Projectile bad ones words threatening words effectively threatening to drive president assads forces out of his own territory what do you think about his comments. I think we have a lot of a lot. A lot of. Troops across the border and in. The end the immediate environment he simply doesnt have the military capability to push back. On me from the areas that now part of the key to the air power control with god a military operation can he go forward with guy on the area with the border by russia to get. Here in part no. No fly zones for next to. Try. Being in that area they would be shot down by russia no doubt about it. So that it is not going to have to turkey is not going to push syria. It might. Want to buy. Our army. Into. It that is the most they could do. Turkey has repeatedly taken part in syria peace talks and i russia turkey relations have been up and down over the last 10 years but the 2 do seem to have quite a lot in common that they broke at that recent agreement suddenly you could anchor it changing its rhetoric when you think this so in bold and just recently. I think. The books are on the ropes that theyve had 3 years in 28 scenes here to get the sochi agreement respects it as a common pick with no think they have failed utterly in fact jihadi groups have taken advantage of those 3 years to cement that was issued and it did it live and to use those positions and launch attacks on the syrians on civilians on the russian bay. Leaving the Syrian Government and russia with no option but to take back control of the problem in. Turkey is not all reaping what it so. Were going today. The jihad need really dependent on huge supply on turkish money something that is not the money of the gulf they are providing it through turkey but they are 100 but then the militant if you get 100 percent dependent on the turkey turned off the taps the problem could be solved tomorrow what meet the happen is indeed for 30 who turn off the money perhaps. The supply hat and force the military and withdraw from the areas where they are expected later holding with got to the end. Shell hostages. All the people who have been moaning the attacks on the video and. If they really want to make a difference that it should be urging hookey who withdraw its support for the millikan know that the area could return to the. Peace of really appreciate your time i guess pizza forcefully you can ambassador to syria and bahrain thank you. On to other news now and some australian m. P. s have called on the u. K. Government to stop julian and songes extradition to the u. S. After they visited the wiki leaks cofounder whos an Australian National in the prison where hes being held ahead of an extradition hearing. Hes beyond belief that someone who is so bright and overnight so bright. Should be rewarded by facing extradition and sitting taking counsel these few nudge in one town called computer had. Very crucial. Very concerned in the bar if you strike. One of the law makers he saw that jules christensen says that the sun just condition is deteriorating and quickly. Spike in this wake with professor nils mels of the un special rapporteur on torture. Who come to the opinion along with a number of medical experts that Julian Assange was exhibiting the symptoms of psychological torture oh ive visited Julian Assange. And are going to say theres nothing that i saw or that actually. Discredited what those doctors and what mills melzer said he is exhibiting saw ends of disorientation. He did tell us about being kept in severe isolation and ongoing us a large negative side technically within belmarsh prison the conditions of the subject to apparently out of us laotian but when you kept by yourself 20 to 22 it was a die with that minimal human contact youre effectively ocelot and so all of that has led to i guess at the plated state of health for julian a songe and i dont think its fair or told to extradite an australian citizen. At of one foreign country into another foreign country to face charges for what for reporting on the facts. Not says doctors around the world also condemned the u. K. s handling of the case warning of songs hes being subjected to psychological torture into. More than 100. 00 medics signed a joint letter urging authorities to take action those who called on the Australian Government to intervene to protect its citizen its the 4th such letter from doctors. In the time the Guardian Newspaper has published a feature article on plans to tackle media repression penned by the u. K. Governments envoy on press freedom that some are clooney however wonky details left out if you need links to Julian Assange arguably the most high profile media repression case in the world today clooney proposed to sanction all those who take part in jailing journalists for their work including ministers and prosecutors but nothing was said about the fact that no such action is being prepared over the treatment of the wiki leaks founder the article didnt even mention that clooney was actually a songes lawyer in the 2015 swedish extradition proceedings against him and many have been angered by the guardians omission. Congratulations are in order to the guardians Patrick Wintour whos managed to write a whole article on global media suppression without mentioning the phrase Julian Assange the Foreign Office will no doubt continue to be delighted the u. K. Currently has julian assigns locked up at the behest of the us because he exposed war crimes the guardian publishes an article on press freedom failing to mention this unbelievably and unforgivably no mention of julian a science journalist and broadcaster neil clark says that the sons case is shameful for the u. K. Government went to the journalist apparently apparently not 100 percent sure but apparently didnt see the need to actually raise the the case of the most famous persecuted journalist in this interview about the persecution of this massive elephant in the room its quite extraordinary d how anybody could write an article about a secular journalist without mentioning. A search for the establishment this whole case now is a big embarrassment. If you did a song its either someone who could be attacked or to big surprise to be ignored a way to get talking about it in this context press. Isnt something you know could kill its being persecuted oh lets talk about other countries official enemy countries thats fine but not what we actually got. A few miles away down the road from this back up in jail for doing journalism. Bearing more about the democratic president ial race details coming up after the break. What politicians do. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and you. Want to listen. To the right to be press this is what im up for free in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the why. Should. The United States president ial candidates debate the future of the u. S. And the world. Max kaiser and stacy her but dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one every week. Tax student debt trade was corporate money universal basic income and more catch up with whats front running this sunday exclusively on r. T. While on a trip to brussels the u. S. House of representatives speaker has warned e. U. Allies against war way nancy pelosi insists that the chinese tech giant is a major threat to security and should be barred from developing 5 g. Networks in europe but palosi admitted to mention the far more wide scale unproven u. S. Global Surveillance Network at more than explains. Now that the impeachment debacle is all wrapped up guess whos going to europe in order to promote one of the trumpet ministrations key policies its the speech ripper herself nancy pelosi the speaker of the u. S. House of representatives is urging European Countries to drop plans to use while away as their 5 g. Carrier for the benefit of a few corporations you cannot sell the privacy of the people of your country down the river as i said before its like having the state police write the Chinese State police right in your pocket you see nancy pelosi just cares about your privacy odd that shes one of what Edward Snowden called the gang of 8 key figures that are overseeing surveillance in the United States is far and snowden he did as you know on the inmate in disagreement with you he did violate the law in terms. Of for leasing those documents we dont know i have a stand. I understand odd timing as well its just been revealed that the cia was the secret owner of a Swiss Company that was offering people encrypt peoples privacy was compromised because the cia had a backdoor what the u. S. Government speculates that china might be doing they have been caught doing themselves while the e. U. Might be more apt to listen to a top democrat then to the donald it seems they still arent buying nancys song and dance her euro 2 were is a flop. Well youll get to. Be stupid like she believes its so in the district of texas. So we decided to ask people what they think of this supposed danger of china spying on them are they more afraid of china spying on them or the american probably us and im not so much worried about. China im worried about anybody having access to our data to be more. Ready to spy on you know in the chinese it could come from anywhere in the world u. S. You can you would guess just in the u. S. Given say the alignment of interests from over the u. S. Probably you know well the u. S. As far as im concerned. Can go to hell i dont know trump along with them its a common pattern of Human BehaviorSigmund Freud called it projection nothing drives us crazy or thinking that someone else might be doing that nobody thing that we know we are doing ourselves. Are to see new york authors boom bust spoke to usas and deep do you know the u. S. Has been spying on the whole world for years not least well way itself whats the full interview dot com heres a preview. It was interesting the u. S. Government says that they declassified the information so we welcome the opportunity to see what the evidence is but we really have to look at this in the broader context of the ongoing geo political dynamic between the u. S. And china the u. S. Has some major issues with china and right now the u. S. Wants to hurt china so badly that theyre going to hurt america in trying to her way and thats really a shame if you look back some years ago when i brought snowden revealed information about the u. S. Program prism and about the 5 Year Campaign of the u. S. Government to spy on wa wait operation shop giant where they monitor it all why not work for 5 years and could not find any Improper Communications and in the present program they found that the u. S. Government used for example cisco equipment to spire on the world most recently the Washington Post crypto 8 g. A Swiss Company that turned out is controlled by the cia so theyve been monitoring encrypted communications of all the countries in the world except for china and russia so the fact is it is important to recognize the role of the equipment vendors and the telecom and mobile operators there is a lawful backdoor by the telecom the mobile operators that is triggered by lawful action by governments such as the u. S. Government or china government we dont have that access we dont control that data. U. S. President ial candidate Michael Bloomberg will sell his media empire if he becomes president in announcement came ahead of the latest round of democratic debates being held on wednesday in las vegas for the 1st time faces rivals to be crying foul over the billionaire spending on campaign its just about a 1000000000. 400000000. 00 on Television Radio and online 10 times more than current policy front runner does donald trump some called expense around 325000000. 00 on his entire 2016 campaign. Discussed his views on Bloomberg Campaign with legal analyst jennifer de mass the libertarian president ial candidate all the political analysts to. If i could start with you. Says that bloomberg is buying is that a fair comment i do think its a fair comment even if you look at the rules that the d. N. C. Has instituted this is a complete change of what theyve done so far this complete you know this late runners coming into their Campaign Spending 400000000. 00 with perhaps hes spending so much money and so that he can make up for the fact that he doesnt have any real grassroots support but i think it definitely amounts to vote buying its not so problematic that bloomberg is spending money on his own campaign the bigger problem is the d. N. C. What rules is the Democratic National committee Democratic National committee making with super delegates and with Everything Else because the way the d. N. C. Seems to be operating is that youre allowed to run for president play if you have the money or if we at least approve of you its not against bloomberg its not its not his fault that hes need to spend this kind of money because thats the way campaigns are the Bloomberg Campaigns views would be massively unpopular with a lot of the Democratic Base and a lot of the American People and by fixating on this sort of minor non issue i mean in politics you ought to spend as much of your own money as you want to by trying to get people to fixate on this non issue the Bloomberg Campaign is effectively distracting america from the positions that bloomberg holds that are at odds with the majority of both the Democratic Base and the American People this is a very unpopular person with very unpopular opinions according to the Democratic Party base and also the general population hes polling you know i havent seen one poll where hes polling above 5 percent this is really showing the corruption of the d. N. C. What there is nothing illegal about what hes doing but i think really thats part of a larger indictment of the american political system more than anything else as well as the rules of the d. N. C. As has been stated that this is an indictment that was a perfect description of the american political system of course you can look at the Republican Party a lot of republican candidates had a. A lot of money back in 2016 and yes donald trump spent his own he was not favored to when he was not going to when Hillary Clinton had tons of funding between hollywood between lots and lots of billionaire billionaires so the American People could still vote but that also raises the question when there are lots of different candidates within one party like were seeing with the d. N. C. And i think the American People deserve to see who the candidates are and what their actual viewpoints are and how they stand on things democrats and republicans they control the president ial debates they change the the commission on president ial big debates has changed the debate the rush the do everything they can to keep their parties and independents out of the debates and you can see this in the way that they mistreat any candidate that opposes a massive military overage so theyve shut out sanders gabbert all the 3rd Party Candidates who oppose it the United States is definitely an oligarchy and i think that most of the people the United States know this a lot of these people who voted for obama and theyre voting for trump but both of these people received plenty of money from fossil fuel companies from Banking Institutions from Financial Institutions from all these different entities but in a true oligarchy not much has been done about it. British Environmental Activist GroupExtinction Rebellion has dug up the law in the form of the worlds most prestigious universities in cambridge claiming it invests in fossil fuels and number of activists have been arrested following criticism of the failure of police to act over similar protests in the past. Trinity college has invested point 1000000000 pounds in oil and Gas Companies most of any of the 45 colleges they are complicit in the climate ecological crisis. The college respects the rights of free speech and nonviolent protest but draws a lot of criminal damage and they. Say they want to do. Its. Absolute best with someone so are they doing the same people they know anybody on the side of this they just going to. Stay with Us International joined me for updates on our top stories and.
