Get your attention is actually by civil disobedience Extinction Rebellion is without question britains Fastest Growing pagan religion. Hello there the latest news and a look back at events over the last 7 days youre watching a weekly here on r. T. International now turkey says it has taken control of a key border town as its troops advance deeper into Syria Kurdish forces claim that their retreat was actually tactical and koreas Ground Invasion which he calls an anti terror operation was launched on wednesday turkey wants to create a buffer zone in syria free of kurdish fighters and then wants to settle millions of Syrian Refugees there who are currently in turkey u. N. Says over 130000 civilians have fled the violence warning that this could rise 2400000. Theres a scaping the International Community to step in. America and other countries should protect us theyre committing sin here our Children Women is there really no mercy but rather clearly this is an occupation we are a peaceful people we are talking about displacement and effectively genocide of innocents kurdish civilians innocent communities within that region the kurds have always been on the defensive but now they may they must defend themselves and their families which means that unfortunately they may not be able to police the the camps that hold isis and the isis prisoners it is now going to cause a big vacuum and a significant problem in terms of security if ends it has sparked rallies around the world people in the u. S. France germany and other countries have joined prize could protest the operation has also been condemned by the International Community president and has threatened to send refugees in turkey to the u. If it continues to condemn anchors actions. We have 3600000 Syrian Refugees in our country waiting to go back home Hey European Union come to your senses ill say it again at the moment of our operation you cannot define it as an invasion our job is easy we can open the doors and 3600000 refugees we will send them back to you. The offensive follows president Donald Trumps decision to be true or u. S. Troops from the region he defended the move saying the kurds did not help the u. S. During world war 2. We have no soldiers in the area. Weve been talking to turkey for 3 years theyve been wanting to do this for many years as you know theyve been fighting each other for centuries now the kurds are fighting for their land just so you understand they didnt help us in the 2nd world war they didnt help us with no normandy as an example when that movie was condemned both within the us and also abroad with republicans and democrats saying the president is betraying the kurds. Down of looks back now its huge s. Relations with the group over decades. It seemed impossible sounded like crazy talk and yet it happened a moment of unity between republicans and democrats as they both condemned americas disloyalty to its kurdish allies the person who United States is in danger of losing the mandate of heaven this is crazy. Which allies in syria or elsewhere in the middle east will fully trust the word of President Trump in the future the thing all of these politicians pundits and channels seem to forget though is that the kurds i used to waking up to a groundhog day of american betrayal the only difference is that its been going on for more than half a century and hasnt been funny at all. In the fiftys and early sixtys the cia pushed the kurds to revolt against baghdad as part of the efforts to overthrow their leader a bill karim kassim eventually he was toppled by a coupe but the new ruler wasnt a big fan of ideal of kurdish independence so he bombed them into submission bombed with napalm kindly provided by the United States. The kurds seem to either have a short memory or a forgiving heart because in the 70s the us was back on their good side iraq and iran were involved in a border dispute and washington was correctly supplying the minority with weapons once again pitching them against baghdad but then iraq and iran kissed and made up and all of a sudden the kurds were on their own being blown to pieces as they are supposed transatlantic Guardian Angel was watching idly even the americans at the time admitted that keeping their involvement under wraps. This was simply no excuse this policy was not imparted to our clients who were encouraged to continue fighting even in the context of covert action ours was a cynical enterprise hoovered action should not be confused with missionary work. Fast forward to the eightys and for the us it was the golden decade of big hair metallic umma dawn and m. T. V. For the kurds it was well just another decade of more u. S. Betrayal in the late eightys Saddam Hussein unleashed his chemical arsenal against them an atrocity looking bound to draw the wrath of the worlds policeman but it was still a long time before saddam was to turn from friend to full so american wrath didnt go further than statements like these we want to maintain good political and economic relations with iraq but the issue of chemical weapons gets in the way of that. In 2003 it looked like the u. S. Was finally ready to make amends for its decades of forsaking the kurds helping them was among the pretexts for the invasion of iraq but then even in washington many took such goals with a pinch of salt the kurds have every reason to believe or think that they will be betrayed again by the United States or so often the person contracts the spectacle of are inviting turks in to this war earlier trying to bribe them into it could not have been reassuring to the kurds even under the turks before trial against betraying the kurds that is your point yeah surely your point is that because it betrayed them in the past we should betray them this time not that we should just we will we will not will not yes they did in 2007 the us let turkey have its way with the kurdish rebels in iraq as ankara launched a lethal bombing raid against them this is of course nowhere near. Here you fall list by 2019 america had left the kurds for dead a few more times both in iraq and syria. American traditions go beyond partisan lines america loves having turkey on thanksgiving going to the Pumpkin Patch for halloween and launching fireworks on the 4th of july screwing the kurds over is nothing but a decades long political tradition for america and they will abide by it be the democrat or republican. Ecuador is in the grip of and hysterically protest despite president lenin that i know is military back that was imposed on saturday early that day people attacked a government buildings and a t. V. Channels office more than a week has passed since people 1st floods hit the streets to oppose the Government Cut some fuel subsidies to spanish correspondent Nicholas Sanchez to donovan sent this report from kater. I. Like. This is what theyre doing look these are real goods real business against people the and how to protect themselves from carved wooden sticks to drop the explosives on out Indigenous People who are sleeping constantly conscious they were asleep thats what a card was. I dont right now and in the chaos there is thousands and thousands of protesters lets try and get closer to the front line just the just a few things and why its the president ial palace its heaven the god part military and police since these protests to finance a good. 10 minutes ago while i was going along with our spanish version we dont hit by. Right right right all right and thats what we think see you know. The protestors are using sales stones bricks just like grease not. Only so far and that was to gas with minimal sound bombs its a situation of extreme tension in the streets. Just to give you an idea. Chris suspended any activity in a city center they say its not safe for doctors and for ambulances instead weve got crews all volunteers that are just taking the dozens and dozens of going to people to bus stops and train them there its actually pretty shocking and to influence the measures that were implemented by the government included scrapping the subsidies for diesel. Gasoline. And that has triggered these protests the monday we had the students then on tuesday we had been bijan Us Communities the day theyre all moved together theyve joined together in this massive tens of thousands of people are going to take him out to the streets of quito president clinton moreno well hes going to see what hes going to say it is a message. Absolutely repulsed so its government those ministers and Safety Measures the table there with the i. M. F. 4300000000. 00. Struggling with. Not the people in the government is going to say but banks big business instead of the people and thats why dont these people here protest and this is a national strike. Its heavy smoke its practically on bearable a tragic day in ecuadors history it was Nicholas Donovan in case i well when fuel subsidies were cut prices reportedly raised by 120 percent leading to a knock on inflation on other products the decision came as part of a deal made by the president with the International Monetary fund back in march in exchange for another loan to the country but i know hes so far refused to scrap the cut but he did say on saturday he would have a 2nd look at them before that. Rest on the former president and or said the venezuelan leader nicolas maduro. That only has himself to blame. Its a difficult time for my homeland this shows the politics of merino in his government hes already been in power for 2 and a half years and he still blames korea for everything economic crisis for security for his political faults and to say that these mass protests of my fault is just crazy. Knowing there isnt any merino is not interested in democracy for him the most important thing is to control power control the ecuadorian public so he create projects that can damage the majority but be beneficial for his goals. Meanwhile in hong kong protesters there are defying a new ban on wearing face masks. This saturday saw a petrol bomb thrown at the gates of a metro station amid why the clashes with police fun comes to see chief executive kerry lamb earlier said it was too early to say whether the end from our school had failed adding that it usually takes time for me they just like to get the desired result the violence erupting sporadically though and homecoming. Is becoming ever more tense as artists and specific reports. Hong kong has gone from being the economic power of the orient to the face of the fight for democracy but the faces of those trying to rust control from beijings crossed a mosque and the democratic means theyre using wouldnt be out of place and hollywood horrific the pudge. The films premise is that once a year for 12 hours only crimes are allowed mogs a fact also rape you name it youve got a free pass and that because of this small window to release all your rage the country becomes crime free for the other 364. 00 days its a small sacrifice for the wideout peace and stability and in scenes eerily similar to the films opening hong kong apparently had a pudge of its own emergency broadcast system. And you will for. The Emergency Services suspend will. Remember urged. Fine just like. Ok it was a hoax but it was a hoax that actually wasnt that far from the reality of the chaotic mania gripping the streets of hong kong. Hong kong had a very dark night because of the extreme acts of the rioters the citys now cemetery lies to everyone is worried her even afraid. Shops looted buildings burned the metro disrupted for the 1st time in over 20 years Shopping Centers food shops and banks closed down fearing wolf islands from the vandals a city which was renowned for its efficiency and convenience is now ma it in confusion and to sorta the instability has spooked the markets and seen hong kongs retail sales suffer the biggest drop on record and while the citys 1000000 as a packing must 2 cases for those who cant just rustle up a 1000000 euros to get a fast track residency abroad the options are limited but can go anywhere we came from Mainland China and we didnt know the stations were closed so now we can yes it is a big problem for public transport is for everyone the decision to open or close the station cannot be politically if its everyones daily life if you save it situations its very difficult for you see trees not many people use the phrase and because of those. Very 3 we really are friends all the life disperse and tired the entire thing anyway so i think thats kind of ridiculous now there are those who will say the film shows scenes of senseless violence while the protestors are engaged in a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience and what of course no image shows the full picture for this Undercover Police officer who was beaten but with petrol bombs by and incensed mob the line is probably a bit more blood with the lenses of the International Media zoomed in on the region business. Of scenes just like this and dont worry if its up slow day but more than willing to lend a helping hand to spice up the show i dont think they were out i. Was. I was. I was as businesses are crushed as fires by and of people are forced to pick sides claims that its all in the name of peace and democracy are increasingly wearing. These protests is no longer a prodemocracy protests it is turning to royalty the protests as the engage in violence are young people it is because for the past. Decades. The home call up government nor to have a strong policy measures to ensure. Dont do young people after they graduated from school or university they would have high quality jobs the poor to start are nor where organized they do not have a hierarchy to communicative to or forties to poor to start running around doing whatever they like leaving the police nor toys bust sure you are forced to or passed on the slide that the whole situation brule necessary to eat up because external force to come in and out is a scenario that i can anticipate a return real happened in the short run. Still to come Environmentalist GroupExtinction Rebellion has been protesting across the world this week although causing disruption in many cities. Well have a look at how just off the cuff. You should. Put themselves on the line big get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or some want to. Have to go right to be cross thats what before 3 of them or cant be good get. Interested in the waters at the cottage. Last question. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy for him to let it be an arms race. Spearing dramatic developments only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Well again now the Environmental Action creep Extinction Rebellion rallied in cities across the world this week a monday launched a 2 week protest campaign to draw attention to the problem of Climate Change more than a 1000 activists were arrested in london demonstrators trying to shut down major locations like Westminster Bridge and also city airports and ronnies were also held across the globe to from north america to the strike the malls in tempe were detained for blocking a major intersection when among the. Extinction rebellions key demands of the governments declare a Climate Emergency hope the loss of biodiversity and also drastically reduce Carbon Emissions by 2025 however their actions have divided opinion is some of the reaction weve been hearing. Extinction rebellion is without question britains Fastest Growing pagan religion and the reason i refer to as a pagan religion is just as all the classic hallmarks of a group of religious fundamentalists a belief that their view is the only view thats acceptable a desire to shut down everything that does not talk to their worldview they fundamental belief that they are in charge and everybody else also go to their beck and call how do you resolve pollution the result polluted by Technological Advancements the Technological Advancements the Extinction Rebellion oppose what this generation seems to be saying is youve messed things up for long enough youre not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther king jr and malcolm x. And rosa parks and people who decided that peaceful nonviolent public protest. Displays of public outrage but tamed and controlled because dont forget the Extinction Rebellion and anybody whos involved in political activism or any kind of change agenda they going to use your actions and activities against you look Extinction Rebellion of demand effect we have returned to the stone age removal of economic progress a commitment to not grow the economy so essentially the British Government for example has committed to being 0 carbon by 2050 which i think is nominally said suppose you cant or shouldnt trust all words that come to our service we had our city contrasts were not because our numbers in the names become clear every single year if i can speak directly into the camera my 11 year old son who was at home with
