What does Trump's surprise announcement mean for Syria war?


READ MORE

US President Donald Trump has declared that American soldiers are coming home from Syria very soon. 


Trump’s promise has taken many by surprise – including some of his right-hand men.


And the important details he left out has led many to question whether he is serious or not.


Pentagon chief James Mattis and Rex Tillerson, the former secretary of state, repeatedly said American troops will remain in Syria to prevent the resurgence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group.


Trump has said he does not like to advertise or telegraph his military strategy, especially in Syria, because it will tip off the enemy.


Will the withdrawal of US troops from Syria strengthen the position of other parties in the conflict?


Presenter: Sami Zeidan


Guests:


Marwan Kabalan – director of policy analysis, Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies, Doha Institute


Mark Kimmitt – former assistant secretary for political-military affairs under US President George W Bush

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...
