watch, watch, in the app or on the website, hello, international review is on the air, in the studio fyodor lukyanov, today on the international review program, events of the week, chronicle, facts, comments.

a helicopter crash in iran, the president died in a plane crash, the world is going through different versions. a fatal mistake by the international criminal court, the prime minister of israel was put under investigation. justice may have missed the mark. we found a comparatively fair way of taking money. the european union on the path of ostap bender. materials from our program. in this this week, president ibrahim raisi and foreign minister hassein amir abdalahian were buried in iran. both died in a helicopter crash while returning to the opening ceremony of a large hydroelectric complex on the border of iran and azerbaijan. a huge number of people came to say goodbye to the victims of the plane crash. many countries expressed sympathy, including tehran.

aksanov and famous. a fatal coincidence of circumstances, weather, human error, technical condition. unfortunately, everyone is subject to these everyday factors. january 16, 1979 year, a booing 707 took off from tehran, personally piloted by shah rizavi. for the iranian monarch, with a pilot's license, these were

the country's last flights; boeings, like other airliners of the seventies, continued to fly in the skies of iran for a long time, after the islamic revolution. western sanctions have closed the opportunity to purchase new aircraft and spare parts for them, even for civil aviation. what can we say about the military, which consisted mainly of american vehicles: f4 phantom f5 eagle, or an ultra-modern one for that matter time hero of the movie top gun, f4. the united states did not want to sell them, so they had to set up production themselves. the iranian aircraft manufacturing company was founded back in 1976, but it really began its activities during the period of total shortages that arose after the iran-iraq war. hundreds of cars bought under the shah.

iranian president ibrahim raisi crashed in an almost identical car. in fact, this is a civilian version of one of the most popular and famous uh1 huey vehicles since the vietnam war. several of these civilian helicopters, bel-212, were purchased by the shah's government in the seventies, some now serve in the police, others fly as part of the presidential air squad and transport important people. their age is approaching half a century. it is believed that this is not the main thing, the quality of service is much more important, but iranian civil aviation has constantly lived in conditions of shortage.

finally, after the nuclear deal, iran was able to buy new foreign ships in 2016. contracts were signed hundreds of cars, but before the deal fell apart. iran only managed to receive a dozen. airbuses a320 and a-330 still form the main fleet of civil aviation. the average age of aircraft is about 20 years. in december 2021 , the iranian business publication financial tribune wrote that due to technical problems , half of iranian planes are grounded due to problems with spare parts. and those that fly often become participants. aviation incidents. the biggest one is the il-76 crash over kirman. it is believed that the ksir warplane crashed into the mountain due to bad weather, but the crash of a transport c-130 near tehran in 2005 was due to engine failure. in 2011

, a civilian boeing 727 flying from moscow to tehran was unable to lower its landing gear and made an emergency landing. no one was hurt then. but such cases are quite common for iranian aviation. for iran, what happened is a test of strength in the country and there are so many problems. so far everything is fine. finally, june presidential elections are scheduled. the executive branch was temporarily headed by first vice president mahammad mahber. what to expect islamic republic, let's ask our permanent guardian there. events of nikolai kazhanov. nikolay, what was the role of president resi, will anything change with his departure? the president is still the second person in the state. decisions on strategic and major issues are made by the supreme leader and his entourage. for this reason

, it is, of course, not necessary to say that after death, after the death of russia, iran’s political system will enter some kind of stupor, but at the same time, these are still figures. which seemed to exercise certain operational control for the execution of the decisions of the supreme leader, this is still a figure who one way or another determined some ideological moments associated with the action and behavior of the regime, and it is natural that her departure, well, one way or another will have a certain impact, that is, here at least from the point of view from the point of view that at this moment it is still necessary to replace him with someone who fits exactly the same way as he. to the demands that the current supreme leader made, and these demands are determined by the fact that an operation is currently launched in iran, in fact, a successor, when the political arena is being prepared for the transition to power from the supreme leader, from the current supreme

leader to his future successor, who will now run for president and are there already favorites, among conservative candidates, among? as ultra-conservative candidates, people with a certain charisma, or who were visible to the people, on the one hand, on the other hand, acceptable to the supreme leader, is not visible now, that is, over the next two months, in fact, to the country’s leadership they will need to make very important decisions, or they will take a certain figure with administrative experience, such as the current acting president mokhber, who, in principle... is quite an experienced person, but has always been on the sidelines and has never been so active in the political arena and did not see, did not perceive, or go and retreat somewhat from the principles that have been adhered to in recent years, namely to limit the participation of not entirely desirable figures or figures who could

determine the development of the situation according to a different plan and just expand the set of candidates who will be elected, who will be present at the previous next elections, by how much? iranian elections are generally competitive , there is some kind of pluralism that takes place before the previous presidential elections, for more than 30 years, the iranian political system represented what they call in the west, that is, sandbox democracy, or something, when on the one hand there are restrictions on candidates, that is, they must all be loyal to the islamic regime, they all... but the people are allowed to choose among various shades of this political stream, in principle , the population was happy with this for a very long time, since one way or another there was still a certain influence on at least a number of aspects

of the country’s domestic political life, that is, yes, in principle, we can talk about foreign policy aspects too , that is, we saw an attempt to open this dialogue of civilization during the khatamiya, we saw... a relatively bright nationalist figure of ahmadi nizhad, that is, all this, one way or another, these people were elected based on those signals, who came from below, as soon as this... successor was started with the idea that whoever would replace the current supreme leader of khaminya should adhere to certain views, here it was as if a decision was made to limit this right of choice to the people, which, firstly , in principle, had a negative impact on the stability of the internal political country, and secondly, of course, had a negative impact on the same turnout, that is, the population sharply lost interest in participating in the political process at all. and it will be interesting to see here, in fact, this country’s leadership, they will still perceive this as a mistake

and will try to restore a certain political legitimacy, but again, to the detriment of the element of unpredictability of the second person, to the detriment of the fact that the controllability of the transfer of power from one leader to another can be , well, somewhat weakened, well, with the candidate for the post of supreme leader rahbar, what?

thank you, it was nikolai kazhanov. ibrahim raisi will remain in our memory as a leader disposed towards russia. relations between russia and iran are not. the works of tolstoy, dostoevsky and chekhov are considered masterpieces of world literature. they have been read by millions of people around the world, and iranians are no exception, but their love for russian

literature and culture is not limited to the works of the classics; today they are discovering modern russian writers with great interest. the tehran international book fair is visited by thousands of people every year. traditionally, special attention of visitors is focused on stedo russia. according to the translation and russian language teacher nilufar, russian is quite difficult.

teachers, but there were also those who followed many of them became translators and, following a dream, moved to russia and found work there. today, russian is taught in 13 universities in iran, and it is one of the most popular foreign languages ​​in

the country. the reason for this is the strong friendly relations of our countries, thanks to which... in recent years, cooperation between iran and russia has expanded, today tehran and moscow are closely connected not only economically and militarily, but much deeper culturally, which is why more and more iranians immerse themselves in russian culture and study the russian language with interest.

iran's main regional adversary is israel. it is not surprising that after the collapse of the presidential. three more eu countries announced recognition of palestine as a state, and the international criminal court requested arrest warrants for the israeli prime minister and defense minister, as well as three hamas leaders. what is more scandalous here: the intention to arrest netanyahu or? equating him in status with the leadership of the islamic resistance movement is a matter of taste. the international criminal court has existed since 2002 the year the statute of rome came into force. this document formalized the mus as an independent international body that considers cases of war crimes and crimes

against humanity, but only those that occurred on the territory of countries participating in the rome statute. or that were committed by citizens of these countries. the case can be initiated at the request of a country participating in the court, at the request of the un security council or at the request of the prosecutor. if he is confident in the evidence, then they ask the judge to issue an arrest warrant or a summons to appear in court. at in this case, the icc does not consider cases in absentia, only after the arrest of the accused. when he appears in court, pre-trial proceedings begin. his identity is confirmed, and judges decide whether there is enough evidence to send the case to trial, all this in the presence of lawyers and the prosecutor. the case is heard by three judges who decide whether the accused is guilty or not. muz has the right to impose punishment, up to life imprisonment, but not capital punishment. the appeal is considered by five

judges, their decision is final and cannot be appealed is not subject to, but the jurisdiction of the court extends. exclusively on people, and not on companies or states as a whole. by the way, if necessary, any country can ask the court to investigate a specific event, even if it itself does not recognize the jurisdiction of mus. in addition, the court can find the head of the country guilty and even issue a warrant for his arrest and transfer to gaga for trial, but in practice this is almost impossible to carry out, he does not have his own police or any other apparatus. coercion. in theory, states themselves should transfer individuals to wanted, but there are internal rules that allow this not to be done. the court consists of 18 judges from different regional groups: asia, africa, eastern europe, latin america, western europe and other countries. they are elected secretly by a congress of member countries

of the statute for a period of 9 years, and are financed in much the same way as the un. every country is a participant. contributes depending on the population and its income. by the way, the top ten largest donors for 2020 include six members of the so-called big seven, and also austria, spain and south korea. but there are also voluntary contributions or donations. it is impossible to determine who contributed it, the state or a private person. over 20 years, he received more than 1 billion euros. moose's jurisdiction includes 123 countries. but more than forty refused to do this, among them india, china, the usa and russia, and the last two signed the rome statute, but washington withdrew the signature from russia. and ratified the treaty. we asked knesset member from the opposition

party ezh atid, vladimir belik, how they assess everything that is happening in israel. confession palestinian statehood by three european countries, does this mean anything from israel's point of view? we are talking about a colossal political failure of our government, and because on october 7 we had a huge international one. written on the gate, and people with flags of spain, ireland and norway are carrying, apparently, hamas, and bibi has been completely forgotten. tiaga

lucas of brazil, spain, ireland and norway have recognized the palestinian state. apparently, an extremely relevant political gesture, according to the artist. patrick chapat from switzerland. the israeli army reports. hamas has not been destroyed, the hostages have not been released. success - says the man who looks like netanyahu is still in power. scandalous burchard mohr from germany about the contradictions in the european union regarding palestine. the drawing is called a test. israel and palestine are written on the corners of the house. on the car itself is the european union. and today the government, despite the understandable in some sense even anti-semitic attitude of certain countries towards

the policies of israel, still, in my opinion , more could have been done to prevent this the decision of those countries that accepted recognition today will probably have little effect, but the order of the international criminal court clearly hurt many, the names here are absolutely completely irrelevant, this may happen.

i am sure that more could have been done, and one more thing, i think that it would be right today to create our internal state commission to investigate the events of october 7 for the share of responsibility that should be borne by our ministers, the prime minister, and army in the events that took place, i think that this would perhaps influence the decision of the prosecutor on the decision of the judges, the war continues despite the international reaction, does the government have a clear plan of what needs to be achieved? today, after 7.5 months since the beginning of the war, i am forced to admit that the main goals of the war have still not

been achieved, firstly, 128 of our citizens are still in the hamas tunnels in gas, and many of them, unfortunately, are already alive, and we don’t know exactly how many, but i think that the most important goal for today is to save those who can still... be saved, and for us, this is for us, as for my party, for the leader of my party, this has always been the most important, the most important goal, until we propose, until israel proposes, or does not agree, or does not propose on its own initiative a plan for a post-war civil settlement, but we will not be able to destroy this civilian power of hamas in the gaza strip. if your party happens to form a government, will you have any idea what to do? there is an israeli government minister who is pro-israeli military administration in the gas sector, it will cost israel at least 20 billion shekels,

that’s about 5 billion.

that the very idea of ​​a supranational history with the international criminal court promises many turns, we have discussed more than once, of universal justice - the creation of a liberal world order, the development of its logic, only now it turns out that it is applied selectively, thereby destroying the principle itself. at first, the clinton administration supported the idea of ​​creation. international criminal court in in 2000, the president signed the rome statute, but the document did not reach the senate for ratification; the initiative itself was repeatedly criticized. the bush administration believed that cooperation with mus threatened sovereignty and national interests. in particular , there were fears that the icc might convict american military personnel for their actions abroad as part of operation enduring freedom. as

a result, in 2002, george w. bush withdrew washington's signature and passed the american military protection act, which stipulates that no american or us ally may be arrested or detained under a moose warrant. the law does not limit the us president in choosing means to save american citizens under investigation in the hague. theoretically, washington can take not only diplomatic but also military steps to protect them, up to and including a large-scale invasion. by the way, this also applies to countries that execute moose orders. the law protects not only us citizens, but also its nato partners and non-alliance allies. for example, australia, egypt, israel, japan, jordan, argentina, south korea and new zealand and even taiwan. american authorities and departments do not have the right to help mus, to extradite us persons to him, as well. the law

also prohibits the united states from providing military assistance to countries participating in the musa, those who signed and ratified the rome statute. there is an exception here, for example, for nato members and major allies; the vague wording does not even exclude the use of military force against the netherlands, where the international criminal court, which is why the media and human rights organizations called the document the law. about the invasion of eider. the us administration condemned the verdict against israeli leaders. congress promised crushing sanctions against the entire court, so that it would not be repeated. there is discord in europe, some are silent, some support the prosecutor, but not confidently. some democratically elected leaders told me in plain text:

this is a court for... africa and for bandits like putin, period. this is what one prominent western politician told me, but we think differently. to the court retreating now is not becoming. it seems that western countries should not denounce him either, especially since passions in favor of palestine continue to simmer on the campuses of both the united states and europe. but allowing themis to persecute allies to the delight of the global yogi is also not good. difficult. after the commercial. another punitive topic: the seizure of sovereign assets.
