A small number of troops is a totally different section of syria so we have a small group. And weve secured a few of the theres no reason for. Those trumpets himself to stop and this was in the middle east the us leader said he was against america going into iraq but since they were there it was worth keeping the oil on a sponsor all the means linking the us invasions to Oil Refineries us military officials claim theres a formal serious strategy behind it. We have troops in towns in south in northeast syria that are located next to the oil fields the troops in those towns are not in the present phase of withdrawal the purpose of those forces a purpose of those forces working with the s. D. F. Is to deny access to those oil fields by isis and others who may benefit from their revenues it could be earned. International economist octomom to solemn a police washingtons not in the position to decide the future and even the present situation of syrias oil. The United States should not be in see it in the 1st place and they are occupying hsien oil fields at a time when the us out of preventing other countries from supplicating oil to syria the United States is acting like a judge and jury un it comes to the only fee is owed see if there is not eason for our benefit to stay there and the o. Is not a betty has to so that it can divide it between the codes and between its own benefit the oil belongs to see it he added its people and it is high time for the United States to be killed behave in a better way and leave see it in its own. A face to face meeting which stretched on for some 6 hours between the president s of russia to keep in the black sea resort of sochi has resulted in a new plan for syria lets cross live to our correspondent philip to try to get to get more. On this. Has been a long stretch for this day covering this thing 6 out of the meeting would emerge from the talks. Neil good evening youre absolutely right there were many extraordinary things about this press conference but 1st of all i just want to point out a massive delay the talks were only supposed to last for a couple of hours but then we were led into this room where the press conference was supposed to happen and we had to wait for a very long time and we could feel that probably an important agreement a breakthrough agreement was on the table and we were hoping to get the details on it and then we did because 1st the president s came out they had many things to say but then the Foreign Ministers took over they came over to a separate microphone and spoke about the new agreement between turkey and russia on the settlement near this area where crisis situation has been ongoing for several weeks North Eastern syria and then also we heard separately from the russian minister of defense and also the Russian Foreign minister but ill come back to that later the main conclusion of this choose day is that russia pretty much cold were from the u. S. As the number one negotiator with turkey that went to war earlier this month with the kurds in Northern Syria as we remember at some point. There was an agreement between turkey and the us that was hammered out by the us why is president mike pence very one and the result of that was a 120 hour cease fire that was about. That is actually about to expire but now. To me the russian president Vladimir Putin and what we have as a result of that perhaps i can put it this way a new 150 hour cease fire that will kick off at noon tomorrow but it seems the 2 sides have come to quite a few. Compromising elements we understand that right now Turkey Russia pretty much agreed to the buffer zone in that area along the turkey syria border and this area will be patrolled together by the forces. By the Russian Military and by the Turkish Military as well although its unclear how that message will be passed through the Kurdish Forces its also unclear whether they were part of these negotiations and whether the russian or the turkish side were somehow in touch with them or with washington as well but in any case we do understand that this trust between the leaders of turkey and russia and they are absolutely. Totally looking forward to trying to make this plan work now just for you to understand what the main priorities are this is something that was brought up many times by the president s in the forest part of the press conference id like to give you this part of a lot of our putin speech when he talked about as i said the priorities of anchor. In that region. Were used to its important to prevent terrorist forces from exploiting the actions of turkeys military thats including i still fighters are held in kurdish prisons now and are trying to escape syria should be free of any own little foreign presence the long term stability of syria can only be achieved by observing the sovereignty and unity of the country thats a principled position and we discussed it with the turkish side its important because they agree with this approach you can also feel how much turkeys president tire paraguayan while cumber what was agreed on on tuesday he spoke about the future of this agreement where the often isnt just take a listen. But you know do. Recruiting new project into practice i hope it will work well congress and people as friends of the Syrian People and the neighbors will read it to dog best to achieve these instability in the country. Once again like i said just a little earlier after the president s left the defense minister and the foreign minister of russia they came out and we were able to ask them a few questions but they didnt tell the elements of the dream and in fact there are 10 sections of it and again the most important part of it is that russia agreed to the socalled 30 kilometer buffer zone along the border. Along the turkish Syrian Border plus the Government Forces will also. Find themselves in positions along that border which is important as well and the Russian Military police along with the Turkish Military will patrol these areas in future to make sure that the remains are fulfilled but i asked russian officials whether. They passed on that message to the americans and. The u. S. Now will last its role as a key power broker when it comes to the settlement in northeast syria and that the russian minister of defense said that there was only one and a half hours left for the americans to fulfill all their obligations that the promises that they gave. So perhaps it was. Somehow. A message to them or maybe just a hint that in this particular situation when time is running out they will simply not be able to. That although d we did hear from the Kurdish Forces and that was a message passed on to turkey by washington that they were keeping their promise and that they did retreat from that buffer zone that. Turkey really wanted free of kurdish fighters so definitely a complicated situation and a complicated agreement but. Trying to get through it in the hours to come so new york ill come back to talk to you very soon yeah good job is to look to get through appreciate you keeping us updated between kids in the black sea resort of sochi. Ok lets get some analysis on this now whats been agreed today by the president s of. Russia. Is an attorney at law in paris he specializes in middle eastern relations joins me on the line now you can even see. With having heard whats being discussed we got some tangible things consider this a successful meeting of the 2 leaders. Of course its a success for their meeting after leaders and and more importantly for. Because russia russia is not filling up the gap left by the United States saw the United States retreating on their fortunate and russia is coming in russian. Influence in syria with you already had they have the bases and the they keep saying as i. Said today that they dont want any foreign forces. After the Syrian Government inside syria and russia has. An agreement from the Syrian Government so its a big success for a lot if within im not 44. Because yeah yes and 3 and the americans even support. The point there we heard both leaders talking about respecting the territorial integrity of syria they talked about their decision to have joint Border Patrol so well have Russian Troops turkish troops our correspondent suggesting there could be some syrian Government Forces in there is what does this mean an end to all the uncertainty of who controls what territory now. I think not because its its even a little bit more complicated because you have the syrians you have the syrians you have the russian and the have the turkish army along along this 20 kilometer or 30 border and inside this you dont have all these. Security reasons its its going to be a little mess of it there so we dont know whats going to happen but president. Keeping the pressure on the european he doesnt want the european to act in any way shape or form because he in the last week he said if if you want to intervene if you do they dont like i have to 3600000 refugees and then open the doors and then going to send all these people and mind them a lot of terrorists to europes top of saw. There how are they going to coordinate the assault on the terrorists as you said isis prisoners could be getting loose the kurds are obviously there as well and extremely concerned for their own safety how on earth do you coordinate whos the enemy and who isnt. Thats there thats the biggest problem because. The Kurdish People that youre to share army was fight fighting along the American Army and the American Army they just left and they abandoned their brothers in arms so its. They dont know what to do all these terrorists are going to be they can do whatever they want because nobodys controlling them and the funny thing here is that president is calling to cure dish so we dont know if its the ideas that are the kurdish that they get the kurdish the armys. Europe and the american as there as illegitimate force combating the terrorists but this same group its considered a terrorist group by the government saw or so its its going to be a big problem because i have to expand again crossed thanks for joining us here in r. T. This encourage my guest attorney at law who specializes in middle eastern events. Thank you. To facebook now it is going to flag state run media accounts on its platform as part of a bid to protect the president ial election from foreign interference to social networks also planning to combat in authentic behavior and to make political ads more transparent theyre going to be busy arties against on of explains. It all comes from the best of intentions it seems sweep away trolls and other unholy creatures from under the facebook bridge except will team phase will really be able to tell right from wrong in the us we have the benefit of a free press and because of that we think its especially important to call the media coming from any country around the world is acting as an organ of the government of the free press Mark Zuckerberg is clearly implying that the free American Media on the one hand and government funded propaganda produces on the other what he forgets though is that the us has a whole governmental body with the millions of dollars in its coffers tasked with exactly that funding the major voice of america Radio Free Europe of the middle east Broadcasting Networks are just some of the outlets right there in the pocket of the u. S. Agency for global media or as it was formerly and more well known of the. Facebook intentionally or not doesnt seem too eager to look at them this way and controversy doesnt end there these social network has never shied away from censoring what gets into your feed and what doesnt and it can really boast a sharpshooters track record with this tell me this have you ever had busch you know the soup if not you should because its great its delicious and if yes you might be a victim of russian deception at least according to facebook it recently banned a page with some 40000 subscribers that was posting recipes of the Russian Institution i dont know whats more authentic than a russian posting about how to make beef stroganoff and yet facebook deems itself worthy of calling out in authentic behavior over the last 3 years we worked identify new and emerging threats and remove gordon. Ated inauthentic behavior across our apps is part of our effort to counter foreign influence complaints this morning we removed 4 separate networks of accounts pages and groups and facebook and instagram for engaging in coordinating and authentic behavior 3 of them originated in the around and one in russian so one facebook makes a Statement Like this we want to help People Better understand the sources of news content they see on facebook so they can make informed decisions about what theyre reading it seems that the network itself needs some help understanding whats going on on its pages it could be said of facebook is not independent either because again facebook arguably is the dream by a particular agenda and when you look at the least of experts that facebook call being in order to help determine the new policy. They are pretty much made out of the use certain groups that are very well known for a very particular point of view mostly. Liberal extreme liberal and so on and what the focus seem to be on is whether the organization can demonstrate to facebook independent editorial control thats a very difficult question i think or the very difficult thing to do something. Not only has called early elections have to set back in its bid to become any human but despite the country apparently meeting the conditions laid down for its submission and she talks along with 5 other balkan states were blocked by france present among your micron that said the e. U. Needed to reform before expanding or that decision was criticised by other leaders and the Outgoing European Commission said it was quote historic era scioto explains. Power us the city of love unless youre more for us i dont know which has just been dumped by president mike kroll the balkan countries being dealt a bit of a blow off the e. U. Said no twits joining its club and like any wrong its sure the e. U. Is going to look back with regrets surely a great injustice was inflicted on us in brussels the European Union did not deliver on its promise im disappointed and angry but what makes this projection all the more painful is that northwestern has been gunning to be brought into the news fold for a long time and has made several significant sacrifices to that end date at all and its worth mentioning by the e. U. Itself for example just over 10 years ago it officially recognized kosovo off to the last declaration of independence from sabia precisely because its the position of both nato and the e. U. But perhaps the biggest compromise it made was when it changed its very identity to brussels e. U. Member state greece has an ancient region called macedonia and was a bit miffed that just across the border another country was using the very same name taking the high road muster dont you decide to lay the historical dispute to bed. Itself with the e. U. By adding north before it simple but brussels was playing hard to get over all the muck or was off to 7 hours of wrangling behind closed doors the french president vetoed opening talks on the issue the only one of 28. 00 members to do so and he used the classic its not you its me phrase before we decide to enlarge the e. U. We need to reform ourselves the fool is potentially significant Prime Ministers i was calling for a snap election ready but more crucially given its violent im troubled part. 1st there are now concerns whether this decision will jeopardize peace in the region this is not a moment of glory for the e. U. To refuse acknowledgement of proven progress will have negative consequences including the risk of destabilisation of the western balkans with full impact on the e. U. But that like any decent gentle his just not quite ready to close the door on his Love Interest well ladies and gentlemen i introduce mr donald. I would like to send a message. Your load to give up. I fully understand your frustration. Because. We havent so also not lost joining the e. U. Is still in the future of North Macedonia but while brussels works on itself maybe the balkan countries should ask the question what anything to do would be good enough for those bureaucrats in brussels. R. T. Paris. An urgent question on british children trapped in syria has been raised today in the u. K. Parliament. Some are International Allies are already used the 5 day ceasefire to fulfill their duties and repatriate their own children if we do nothing will be abandoning our moral obligations and risking those Vulnerable Children who are growing up in a war torn area maybe turning into terrorists themselves does the u. K. Take responsibility for british children and what do we can answer that in terms of the principle let me be clear we are doing what we can given the difficult circumstances on the ground of course within the rule of law for Vulnerable Children in north east syria this is a piece it is rapidly developing rapidly changing and of course we keep all things under review every see. The day we delay in actually bringing these Children Home is a day extra of trauma that we are going to have to address at
