asked about escalating tensions with iran his answer everything's under control don't worry about the thing oh famous last words mr president tonight on capitol hill and at the white house emergency meetings are underway earlier today iran shot down a u.s. military drone what will president trump's answer be to that. koran made a big mistake. drone was in international waters clearly we have it all documented it's documented scientifically not just words on. the red line. and in the that guy it's i'll go destroy you. come on and be destroyed i don't think the president wants to go to war there's no after war in our country.

also coming up and then there were 2 but really only one the race to become the next british prime minister is down to 2 candidates the favorite and this man the question for the conservative pasha in the country is looking bars johnson is there a better alternative may the best man win and that's going to be me. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day waiting for the u.s. response to what iran says was meant as a warning to america earlier today iran shot down a u.s. military drone saying the drone had violated its airspace in was engaged in spying now that's a claim that the u.s. has rejected saying that no u.s. aircraft were in iranian airspace at the white house and. members of the trumpet

ministration and lawmakers are meeting in emergency sessions this evening u.s. president trump saying today's move by iran was a very big mistake without a doubt the downing of that u.s. drone escalates tensions between the u.s. and iran tensions that were already high on monday the u.s. announced that it will send $1000.00 extra troops to the gulf and the u.s. accused iran of attacking to tame kurds last week or here is what the head of iran's revolutionary guard said earlier today about shooting down that u.s. drone. how many think that downing american was a clear and precise message to americans. and the message is that. those who defend the borders of the islamic nation of iran. will react in a total and decisive way to any intrusions by foreign elements in iran are.

big on a. red line that mean an enemy that our violates our ability to show you will not return from our kind will be destroyed. my 1st guest tonight said earlier this week that lack of a smoking gun should prevent further escalation of tensions between the u.s. and iran there was juergen has written extensively about the middle east his latest book is making the arab world he is also a professor of international relations at the one school of economics and he joins us tonight from london fawaz it's good to have you on the program you're warning that there is no smoking gun in terms of the attack on these 2 oil tankers that came before reports of a u.s. drone being shot down by iran's does that drill does it change the calculus for washington in your opinion. no it does not in fact i would argue that

the trump in this ration finds itself boxed and there's no plan at the in washington. many divisions within the trump administration we do not know what president trump wants. for sure he does not really want war was he wrong because the president as we know this clashes was his and i as pest dr donald trump is not really interested in waging wars in fact he's trying to disengage from muslim lands and secondly his priority now is reelection for a 2nd presidential term of any war anywhere with basically ham that is that the nail in his reelection campaign so he does not want war with iran yet the crisis was iran is a manmade crisis is a south in crisis by donald trump and this is the irony in which donald trump finds in south the death well for us what do you think is happening here or the reunion

leaders with the drone being shot down are they giving the hardliners in washington exactly what they want and that is a reason to take this to a military level and to go to war. i don't think you're wrong in the this is 18 iraq clashes washington not that the united states nor iran nor saudi arabia wants a all out war everyone will lose and particularly iran will be the biggest loser because its economic and military infrastructure will be destroyed what iran is engaged in is the following a calculated and dangerous escalation because the status quo is and parable of the iranian economy is bleeding the iranian back to the wall and the punching bag hoping that the trump administration will not basically escalate but

this isn't then because everyone thinks every side thinks that the other side want 5 the fish shot this is how war is this is how miscalculation happens and as you've said you're absolutely correct the violent storm is growing and pensions that deafening it would take only one miscalculation to really try to get at the clash in that particular part of the world you've said earlier that donald trump the us president doesn't want to go to war he has made that clear we know who the hardliners are in his administration and in tehran who is working then with donald trump's interest at heart to do you see here trying to keep the peace. well the truth is i mean donald trump has sat around of the himself was heartless you have all been who is in charge of the national security in the white house and john bolton is well known long before the iraq war it was one of the leading

politicians who called for a war against iraq and walsall has called for war against the wrong phone pale don't forget from pale on cato is a hard line a 2 even though is closer to trump than. john bolton the defense department and the intelligence services do not tell you want paul because they realize at any clashes iran regardless will be catastrophic more catastrophic than the iraq war the iraq war will pale by comparison with the war in iraq but what we're talking about here is miscalculation imagine if the iranians basically shoot a a an american fighter jets in the next few days over the strait of hormuz or iran imagine if several american sales i mean at soldiers or army offices this this is the kind of miscalculation that could trigger that wouldn't ask elation a lot will do you see then the u.s.

president trying to deescalate things earlier today he had a tweet out saying that this was a big mistake shooting down the straw but then later in the day he me he did say openly that there's the possibility that the firing at this drone could have been could have been an act that was also a mistake that doesn't sound like you're a war mongering president does. not a toll no one is saying no one is saying that dog trauma is a warmonger that's not the question that the assumptions on which the the sit in his own decision the reason why i said this is a manmade crisis it was the amount from who exited the nuclear deal was which but it was barak obama was signed it and 6 great powers and the assumptions is assumptions or the people are around on of is that iran will sat around that iran will come back to the negotiating tables in fact they this has happened iran is punching back to iran is not surrendering iran will not sat around because it would

bring about the collapse of the regime itself so the question is what are the options that donald trump had and that's why he's trying to be escalate in fact it's the same statement after the at pax against the the ships in the gulf of oman he said oh there were little attacks the one that police say is that back and now they're saying some have made a mistake what this tells you is that there's not really one core that he is he has boxed himself in the iranians know it and they're really trying to push basically the wrong bottom donald trump because it made me realize the options that he has a very limited but what the iranian leadership might be might be miscalculating as well might be fake it might be making some terrible risk that would really come to harm the iranian leadership in the next few days and next few weeks where those those those bad decisions that you are implying that may be in the process of being

made does that include iran saying that it is going to take steps that could violate the nuclear agreements because we know that it has put the burden on europe to rescue the deal in within 10 days but europe has also made clear that if the nuclear deal is violated by iran then the european union has no choice but to reinstate sanctions against iran. absolutely and that's why i mean the general foreign minister and the french foreign minister i really taking a serious initiative not their real major diplomatic initiative escaped out by boat germany and france the french woman as they is go into iran to meet with his counterpart that taking iranian threat today say is the i don't think is in the interest of iran to accept the nuclear deal because it will lose not only the united states it with new 0 europe is the only hope for iran but the iranian

leaders remember that iran is bleeding the comedy is bleeding the status quo is not comparable and that has economic war that has exacted it had a toll on the iran so the iranians that that's and that's why the escalating and the dollar and as we've seen in the past you know few weeks i was gerges from the london school of economics joining us tonight from london for once we appreciate your time in your valuable insights tonight thank you. and we're having. it happens once a year and it is considered to be one of the biggest shows that the kremlin puts on for russia and the world president vladimir putin's annual question and answer session with the public i'll just tell spontaneous this event is one that can be debated but it is one of the most important p.r. events for putin and his hold on power more than one of the have 1000000 people

submitted questions to the president hoping that he would call on them on national television now it wasn't a total love fest whether some russians confronted putin with their fears over falling incomes and the country's ailing health care system putin acknowledged the concerns of belt declining incomes but he insisted the worst economic challenges are behind the continent and. were w.'s moscow correspondent. sure when watched. with a careful. putin's annual call in show is like a safety valve it's an opportunity to ask critical questions in a controlled state t.v. and environment this year the focus was very much on domestic issues after all there's a lot to discuss there there are the unpopular pensions reforms there's the v.a. t. hike that happened at the beginning of the year there are falling real wages and rising prices usually russians tend to blame the government rather than flooding

there putin for their problems but surveys show that trust in blood in there putin is that a long term low and in a surprising move in the show bloody near putin took responsibility for the failings of his government still the show is always an opportunity for putin to kind of wave his wand at the problems of ordinary russians and to make problems from dirty water to low wages simply go away the problem and the question at the moment is whether real russians here normal russians really believe that vladimir putin can make those problems go away. where there is one big. bell what will happen to their garbage rather what happens to other people's garbage in one. of the new garbage dump. is already underway but local residents and environmental they are doing their best to fight back. human shields against diggers these activists have created

a tent city in she's a town in northwestern russia authorities told them construction on a new garbage dump would stop but the arrival of a new excavator has spurred protesters back into action. we want to give up on she says will die if we have to but that's your right of florida law this is all and we want to give it up. and one of the security forces keep an eye on things but they don't get involved and in the end the digger driver gives up. she's has achieved prominence far greater than its modest train station would suggest last year local authorities struck a deal with moscow to dispose of garbage from the capital. construction began a what would be one of europe's biggest landfills but residents wouldn't put up with it. private security personnel were brought in to discourage the activists but

to no avail. instead more people joined the protest at the moment about 100 of them live in this encampment next to the site. the builders have also set up a tent they call it an information center stocked with colorful brochures full of promises that moscow's rubbish will be recycled the activists don't believe a word of it. and it has to do it will be difficult they say that the recycling plant will be built we have experience with this that is going to bury the rubbish in a 30 kilometer long trench and you can install a new. alexy gunny chev is part of a group that plants trees exactly where the construction crew cut down existing trees. it's a but if you can get it then mr mintz 1st row isn't just about this place it's about the way garbage is dealt with all over russia we're not just fighting for our region. people from other regions supported us the beauty of doing that we want to

solve this problem all over the country not just here. the problem the land fills financial backers say the possible environmental impact on the area is being looked at but environmental activists don't trust them. unfortunately for protestors the local rail operator has announced it will stop train services to she spy june 25th activists will have to find another way to join the fight against moscow's dirty habits. or the united nations has a record number of people worldwide have been forcibly displaced this year by war persecution or violence the figure now total $71000000.00 that's $2000000.00 more

than last year and that includes asylum seekers refugees and people forced to leave their homes and their own country or to mark this un world refugee day amnesty international is highlighting the particular difficulties facing older refugees and to do that amnesty took cameras and recorded at camps that hels were hinge or refugees from me and more after a crackdown by me and mars military almost 800000 bro hinges fled to bangladesh and many of them were elderly. life in bangladesh so crowded refugee camps can be a constant struggle. for the elderly it's often nearly unbearable the human rights organization amnesty international interviewed nearly 150 displaced row injured aged 54 to over 90 they found that aid agencies hadn't done enough to address the needs of older refugees. not that far for the people who can

walk well it's only a problem for me. when i don't go to the camp to nic they don't provide good treatment they usually only give one of 2 tablets when my son buys medication for me i take that i'm wary of going that. way but it was not the end that this man was able to reach a designated age friendly clinic but such places are rare in the refugee camps for the elderly food medical and sanitation facilities are often difficult to reach researchers documented cases of older patients foregoing medicine because they could not navigate the challenging terrain to the clinics. despite the challenges these are the lucky ones many other elderly wrote enjoy were unable to flee and me on mars army attacked their villages in wrecking state. you know mothers that we were in the field the soldiers with chasing people and shooting people who could run manage to escape but those who couldn't run were

killed and that about when the soldiers came and. my parents were inside for the last 5 years my parents weren't able to move on we couldn't take them with his mommy my parents died when the house was told. it's uncertain when the row hinges refugees will be able to return to their homes and me young are for the elderly it's not clear whether they'll ever make the trip home. where he will be the next british prime minister well the answer to that is an either or situation tonight either u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt or former u.k. foreign minister boris johnson they will now campaign until late july when all members of the conservative party will choose one of them as the party's new leader . we therefore declare that jeremy hunt and boris johnson are going forward to a page of the qualifying membership of the conservative and unionist party thank

you very. well in london right now bigot musts our very own is following the story for us good evening to you former london mayor and foreign minister boris johnson remains the top contender for the job of tory leader in the next prime minister is his victory i mean is it a foregone conclusion now. not a foregone conclusion he still needs to go to this final round needs to go to the party base but he's clearly the funder frontrunner and he's extremely popular with the party base he's weak he is charming he has a lot of charisma his critics accuse him of being a bit economical with the truth in fact they do use him of lying for example over claims during the brics a campaign that britain would save 350000000 a week that they can be used for other stuff here in the u.k. for example for the house have

a say all this doesn't faze the party base they really adore him whenever he is for example at a party conference they just approach him like nobody else so he's really very very popular with the base the clear frontrunner and what about his rival the other candidates the foreign secretary jeremy hunt. for and secretary jeremy hunt doesn't have the same personality i would say as boris johnson to us and he is a remain a so that puts him at a disadvantage with the party base he did campaign full remain during the referendum the party base is very much progress and they want to have this as done done as quickly as possible really jeremy hunt i think is the contender because he's seen or maybe as. a steady pair of hands he's made much about his history as a entrepreneur as a foreign secretary he has accused the european union of being similar to the

soviet union's that didn't go down very well with colleagues in brussels but on the other hand i think many have. a rather positive view on him because he's seen as a letter less not a nationalist but with a party base boris johnson clearly the favorite it is interesting that in this budget environment that one of the 2 finalists is someone who wants to stay in the european union if johnson if he really wins in the end what does that mean for the u.k. and for brits. well jeremy hunt also has said that now he accepts that britain has to leave it was just that he was a remain a during the referendum campaign but if boris johnson really does move into number 10 downing street i think he will be really held to account he made huge promises during the wretched campaign he was really one of the main figures all threats to

come by and in the referendum he has made promises like britain will be p.-o. will play a one small and that breaks it would in the end reunite the country again and the promise is about all the money that can be saved and used here in the u.k. so all of these bold claims really he will be held into account if indeed he does move into downing street at the end of the summer and that's what we will find out soon you know all right are there good marks on the storm force in london because thank you. for sounding the alarm over glut you sure now they say glaciers in the himalayas north of india are melting at a rate twice what would be considered normal. the glaciers of the himalayas represent a vast reservoir of water upon which hundreds of millions of people depend no the glaciers are melting by comparing today's glaciers with satellite imagery made

tickets ago scientists can determine just how quickly the ice is receding researchers at london's a period college say the big melt will be hard to stop even if we if we try to leave the $1.00 degree. temperature rise over the next by the end of this century it's still one 3rd of a mile and. the last yes we. will be. dr pandit says changing water availability is making it impossible for people to continue traditional farming practices those who cannot adapt are often forced to move away . because of that. the odds are forced to change the air in their agricultural practices and as a result in some areas my goodness some is also happening so people cannot cope with that we did tending washer i believe in the reason. rising temperatures and

changing patterns of precipitation in the mountains will also have impacts far down stream as water levels drop across central asia and in the indian subcontinent. for the day is almost done but as always the conversation continues a lot you'll find us on twitter either at g.w. news or you can follow me at golf t.v. don't forget to use the hash tag of the day and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day see that.
