live around the world to the money needed urgent assistance. the family starts oct any on g.w. . this is deja vu news live from berlin u.s. president donald trump says he's almost certain the weekend drone attacks on a boil installations in saudi arabia were carried out by iran those strikes cut saudi oil production in half but trump hasn't given any proof of tehran's ball but what it now says the u.s. won't rush to react also coming up because. swedish environmental activist grace

had to birth is on her part human rights group amnesty international 1st leading mass protest to fight climate change. and u.s. whistleblower edward snowden says that government surveillance and internet giants are a greater threat to privacy than ever before as his autobiography goes on sale. hello i'm next by sir welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump appears to have softened his stance on a possible military strike on iran on sunday he sounded poised to strike as american officials were dispatched to saudi arabia to assess how the strikes were launched on a saudi oil field in a refinery and who was to blame on monday the american american officials were

still accusing iran but trump himself no longer seemed in a rush to go to war. thank the crown prince of bahrain to fishel visit to the white house was planned long ago but it couldn't be more timely the biggest question was would president trump take military action against iran without preconditions the united states is more prepared than any country in the history. or in any history where want or don't want war with anybody somebody they would like not to have war these satellite images released by the u.s. military purportedly show the damage inflicted on the saudi oil plants and demonstrate how precise the attacks were carried out with drones or possibly cruise missiles. washington says the attacks were simply too complicated to be the work of who the rebels in neighboring yemen saudi arabia claims iran was behind the strike from isis these weapons are iranian weapons our

initial investigations showed the terrorist attack did not come from yemen and the who to his claims. white house representatives have also publicly blamed iran for the bombings but have yet to provide any definitive evidence on twitter u.s. president trump hinted at the possibility of military action he said there's reason to believe that we know the culprit and a locked and loaded depending on verification so is this simply saber rattling from president trump or is he heading down the road to military strikes. the president's going to have to make some very hard calls. with his political base will be divided over whether there needs to be a direct u.s. military response or whether the u.s. we should ports should be supporting. countries in the region responding to attacks against them the iranian president hassan rouhani met with his allies in ankara and

defended the he's campaign against saudi arabia. or to get him out of the way you many people are simply defending themselves these attacks a reciprocal and have to end the only solution for yemen has to be political. white house officials announced said to be debating the best course of action communication or confrontation. correspondent all over salad is in washington to tell us more all over what is u.s. president trump going to do now he seems to be blowing hot and cold. well that was a typical donald trump play that we've witnessed here today lots of back and forth threats of retaliation 1st of all and then later he walks everything back and says he does not want any military intervention at all which of course does not come as a big surprise don't forget we're nearing the 2020 election here in dollar terms

reelection is a stake and the americans are increasingly getting tired of war and also pulling the american troops out of international conflicts has been one of donald trump's core promises and he's really trying eager to deliver on these promises. ok well as to the strikes them selves there's a lot of mystery it would seem saudi arabia is saying it believes iran carried them out the americans saying the same and then the who's the rebels in yemen saying they did it what proof is there of anything here all of the saudi led military code coalition in yemen today provided some evidence they believe that iran is behind these attacks they also believe that these attacks were carried out by iranian drones and they believe in addition to that that these drones came from the direction of iran rather than from the direction of yemen in the south and some satellite footage that was already made public yesterday by the

americans to suggest some of the same but on the other hand you have the u.n. special envoy for yemen who is a bit more careful on who is saying that he is not 100 percent convinced there are a lot of other theories around who could be behind these attacks and so the saudi led coalition and saudi arabia are now focusing on their investigation to find out where exactly these drones might have been launched. as you know all over it back in june president trump threatened military action again against a red when it shot down a u.s. drone then nothing happened is the expectation in washington that hill again back down. well one thing is clear in comparison to last time it all it's adding out these threats and donald trump must be careful that he's not losing his credibility here he is threatened once when an american drone was shot down in the strait of hormuz and then the retaliate strike was called off just

a couple minutes before and 5 as much as he says so and continues threatening he is continues losing his credibility so this is dangerous for him he might feel himself i themself trapped in a situation where he has to act but it's very unlikely of course that he will order direct attacks on iranian targets those who would rather be targets perhaps in syria and in iraq over the iranian proxies there well let's not forget what this is all about all this is all about the nuclear deal the president is trying to renegotiate so he's trying to force iran back to the negotiating table to reach a new nuclear deal the americans believe that iran is iran is still working on a nuclear bomb president rouhani of iran has already said that he is not available and 3 therefore the struggle continues ok thanks for that all over salad in washington. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world talks

between british prime minister boris johnson and european commission president. in brussels have failed to bring any breakthrough on. johnson remains confident he can strike a deal before taking britain out of the e.u. in august october 31st luxembourg leader vented frustration that johnson has yet to produce any new plan. in zimbabwe people are paying tribute to robert mugabe the late president's coffin arrived in his home village today gabby's legacy is controversial some consider him a hero who led the country to independence others say he stayed in power too long becoming an autocratic leader who killed political opponents rigged elections and ruined the economy. for the swedish climate activists great attune bird has been handed embassy international's highest honor

for her unique leadership and courage in standing up for human rights amnesty secretary-general cuming guys who presented the ambassador for conscience reward in washington bird was given a standing ovation she used her speech to say that governments have much more work to do and she called on people to keep up the pressure. so what i'm telling you to do now is to act because no one is too small to make a difference. i'm urging all of you to take part in the global climate strikes on september 20th and 27th. thank you. and just one last thing see you on the street. i will. whistleblower edward snowden's autobiography goes on sale this week

a former american intelligence analyst shocked the world when he leaves details of a massive american internet spying program spanning the globe he's living in exile in russia because he faces charges back home some see him as a hero and others condemn him as america's most wanted traitor as with snowden his recent permanent record to set the record straight himself told german television that he's concerned about the fates a future whistleblower and i think that's one of the saddest lessons from this story what does it say to the next whistleblower and what does a simple world what does this say about ourselves when the only place that american dissident can be heard is from places that we would expect. in 2013 snowden was working as a contractor for the national security agency or n.s.a. in interviews he'd said he'd become disillusioned and had ethical concerns about

the massive government surveillance programs that were part of his assignment later that year snowden was accused of leaking classified information to the media the documents revealed the way governments were using online data from the devices of ordinary citizens to monitor their lives snowden also sees more immediate dangers on our virtual doorstep an internet giant you can look around the world today and go governments are not threat they're increasing more through with each passing year and you can say the same of these internet john edwards made an enemy of public privacy they make their money by selling our lives as a product snowden's a serious a he sharing of classified files that disclosed military secrets to america's enemies and endangered u.s. agents was a reckless act snowden has been living in exile in russia ever since the u.s. wants him extradited on espionage charges he could face decades in prison in his

memoir snowden complains that countries around the world had refused to grant him asylum it became evidence that even the most advanced democracies were afraid of incurring the wrath of the u.s. government snowden regards germany as among those countries but the german foreign minister stands firm on his commitments to legal procedure. it is for concerts which i consider to be fundamentally wrong for ministers to comment on how they think asylum procedures should turn out. these are processed according to the law. that snowden denies any collaboration with the russian government his russian residence permit runs out next year he's living at an undisclosed address in moscow . france's egger culture ministry is on high alert after it detected signs of a new taurus disease that destroys all of trees the bacteria which causes was often

one particular strain of the bacteria has ravaged olive groves across the country killing many trees that were centuries old especially in the southern region of up . experts say the disease can spread by up to 2 kilometers a month if an infected plant is detected the only response authorities currently have is to kill every other potential carrier plant within 100 meter radius in france the authorities still hope they can keep celera at bay. you don't cut down century old trees like this with pleasure it hurts but you have to do it is to preserve all the rest of our heritage but. all of farmers and southern friends can only hope the authorities were quick enough to stop the further transmission of fastidious that this time and they know it probably won't be the last. set for now don't forget you could always get news on the go just download our app
