for in this part. thank you very much for being with us president donald trump is chosen to reveal the united

states military was as he put i. *-*- unloaded his words to retaliate against iran trump says he canceled the strike ten minutes before it was due to be launched meanwhile the writings of that footage of what they claim is the wreckage. less than strongly shop down. the mission claimed by iran's revolutionary guard. over the strait of full moves now they claim that they gave a warning to the americans before firing the shots. i'm in no hurry we did donald trump a day after calling off retaliatory air strikes on iran for shooting down an american drone. ten minutes before the strike i stopped it. not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. i'm in no hurry our military is rebuilt new and ready to go by far the best in the world. sanctions are biting and more added last night. iran can never have nuclear weapons not against the usa and not against the world. washington insists the drone and

similar to the one pictured here was in international airspace over the strait of hormuz who's at the time it was shot down. but iran says the drone violated its airspace and was justifiably targeted at the location shown by the revolutionary guard. to ron released this footage on friday of debris it says it pulled from its territorial waters. and cleaned it too had exercised restraint by targeting the drone instead of in your finance spy plane. via. you know what the aircraft was manned. and had around thirty five crew members. well we could have targeted that plane it was in our right to do so. and yes it was american valley. but i gotta do we didn't do it. one could only hit the unmanned aircraft to ship from one of us about that on the day. despite the two countries claims of restraint the escalation has prompted fears of a full blown war between iran and the us.

the story is that the united states has requested a meeting of the security council at the united nations diplomatic sources saying this is expected to take place on monday we'll bring you. all on that as and when. well the shooting down of the us drone of the strait of whole moves has predictably raise concerns the atrophy. my travel dnia or along the same route at companies have taken action to keep that. of flights passengers out of harm's way. tracking services showed a steep drop in the number of flights over the home was straight on friday morning. after us drone was shot down there on thursday with numerous commercial flights in the area at the time. the incident sparked the faa to ban us carriers from flying over the area describing an inadvertent risk to us civil aviation operations -- potential for miscalculation or misidentification. did you aspen doesn't apply to airlines from other countries

but many like ba and lufthansa have since announced they're avoiding the zone. this expert says airlines -- right to be extremely cautious. rvca instance here is that the day off to the the release of the report and then make seventeen which was a in some ways a warning us to walk in a caring complex items. iranians used almost the same type of missile battery that was involved in the shooting of mh. seventeen to shoot down a military ashcroft in the wake of the twenty fourteen shoot down in ukraine. carriers like malaysia airlines have been increasingly taking steps to uncover threats. safety experts say they're concerned about the lack of government intelligence sharing and a reluctance by countries involved in conflict to lose out on overflight fees. and different carriers have different policies when it comes to re routing over war zones. while the us and other countries have a no fly policy over syrian as space the thai airways

recently returned to flying over the war torn country. the dutch safety board which led the mh seventeen investigation warns resources currently available to add lines often communicate changing threat levels to slowly and informally. to be of use. next guilty of gang rape spain's supreme court is increase the punishment against the group of men. for an attack they carried out on an eighteen year old woman. it happened at the pump clone a bull run in twenty sixteen two previous trials. the five men who called themselves the pack of lesser crimes against a teenager. with a max of fifteen years in jail. case continues to shock spain with terrorism's a key sector visit safety is paramount lawyers spoken for both sides. the man that that's a tough year the the victim was in a situation where she was so scared he was stupefied. and became submissive. it was a mission not consent. on this ground and based on the

evidence we argue that what took place constituted a crime of rape. i guess that was sufficient intimidation by the five accuse. which allows them to perform sexual acts on the victim. okay noise of course a nose is a nose. but for that to be understood you need to say no. and there are many ways to say no. what did the plaintiff to in front of them? so they would know that she was in a state of shock and that they were having sex without her consent. how did they know that you know did she say something verbalize something make a gesture? no. the air was of the defense lawyer that. well our correspondents are morris in madrid has been following the story. the victim's identity was protected so we can only guess as to how she's receiving today's verdict of what we do know is that she liked to have had a fairly traumatic trial. in addition to her initial -- deal because a man those people on twitter i decided need

details of her identity during the case how we also know that to she had a private detective put on her. ability to defense lawyers who were trying to build a case of that she had been able to rebuild her life that she hadn't been traumatized. by this -- rate the tax code and so. we we can only surmise that she took some comfort of from the supporters that came out on to the streets at sir after the initial verdict many of them very young women. who chanted and shouted -- we believe you were very indignant about the initial rulings which gave these men eight years sentences for sexual abuse today of course the supreme court. up those says sentences to fifteen years for each of the men saying this was a clear case of intimidation and right. sir marcus our correspondent that in the grid. next pro kurdish political leaders of accusing the

president of turkey of trying to manipulate the upcoming vote this comes ahead of a re staging of the election. the ruling party lost in a sample the kurdish vote so at alliance candidates have been now the at field in. a losing narrowly president to type it on order even claiming fooled the code to saying that it's a two one is so in discord among them to try to dilute the strength of that turn out. background in the morning was done out of the race of man. in his temple in march this year is really upset the apple cart that result let's bring in our course in a just a more to me he's in ankara for the analysis joining us live just beginning to you. i'm. the kurdish leader abdullah ocalan has -- apparently written a letter from prison which is really added to the story tells more about that. yes. the government needs the kurdish vote to win in sunday's election in this sample. therefore lost. the government allowed. to stop

receiving visits. the first time in three yeah. last night the government because it's the state news agency said also released a lesser. calling on the kurdish policy the hdpe today neutral in sunday's election i need to stay at home mom so. now this is in direct contradiction. to watch the hdp being say basically have been calling on kurdish folks is to go out and vote and vote for the opposition to restore democracy. not today the h. d. d. lesser leaders have the difficult hospitals you know coming to terms with our children's necks out. i am the first of all they pointed out that. all children has quote very limited opportunities to express his own you. what was the closest they could come just saying that all children speaks under duress?

and instead of the deep dark options meeting. hello. but he needs family old lawyer. government representatives sits in albany. i'm going to need is went on to interpret his calls neutrality is meaning. cool slowly cutters foxy to choose the way to reach democracy are i'm. just make this day said that's exactly what we're doing. i would not going to change all tactics about. who to vote for in these elections we're here to help people to vote against the ox party to cut it down to size? two we can it's authoritarianism and to restore democracy to

turkey. yes we deliver that thank you very much indeed and will you be watching for all developments on this story because coming back to you. as and when just a modem a course on that in ankara. still i from paris police headquarters in hong kong -- effectively under siege by hundreds of thousands of protesters observers say the police of a doctor so far. and the most passive stance for this it's the latest in the demonstrations against. at the extradition bill that would see a criminals. interest to move easily extracted from hong kong -- by beijing protest is according to the chief executive carrie lam. scenes that is based on voice of beijing to resign let's hear from some of the protest. he saw it didn't you our chief executive said she was wrong but she didn't resign. nobody in the government has stepped down so what's the point of apologizing. today i'm a pacifist at heart nonviolent person. and i think that's the case for most protesters we're really not

right. i hope the police can change this way of labeling i seen on that continues as as the analysis we joined here in the studio by saudi channel artist comedian and activist -- looking at hong kong what's going on thank you very much for joining us here in the studio -- are you surprised by what we're seeing right now in hong kong the extent of the protest the fact that it's taken such a strong stance against the please. i was very very surprised because i was just back to hong kong. in april. and since the umbrella movement in a two thousand fourteen people have been telling me tha- there's no use protesting anymore. because they didn't get what they wanted at that time. and that people kind of resigned and and this time i think the extra the extradition bill. is something so crucial to our

everyday life. three ten and so i think all of the hong kong citizens were very touched and surprised by that but in fact because the first sunday we were. run by more than a million and on the second sunday we were. more than two millions. which is huge knowing that in hong kong we are around seven point five million people. i mean the strength of feeling is very clear -- some people may listen to what. china says about this will beijing says that this will carry lana said about this. that this was a law that was intended to make it easier to extradite criminals persons of interest and some people might say well if that's the case that's not a problem. explain to us why you see this is a problem and why so many people in hong cd i think. i think this is this is a problem. not because there's this extradition bill because since - nineteen ninety seven hong kong has changed so much.

i mean everybody thought it was gonna be one country two systems but actually it is not. i mean that there is a self censorship already. and do. we we saw the the book says sellers who just disappeared into we saw them later on on chinese he t. v. apologizing. so that the freedom is no longer like before and i think the trust between the citizens. and the hong kong government is broken was broken [inaudible] and it wasn't it wasn't a a alike -- in in the in the loss system in hong kong it was deliberately like that. because the system in in china as is just so it's not clear to us in intensity about how you frances as an artist at and and

to perform a how how. how how does being in hong kong now as it is changing affect how you? how you can be? lucky enough to have the french post part and i spent a lot of my time in fronts. but each time when i have a project in hong kong when everybody is very enthusiastic. at the end for some reason -- service certainly do not want to work with me. because of the way i speak up. so nobody nobody dares nobody dares to see what they think and that's the aspect of self censorship that you were speaking about that basically they're reacting. to the change in atmosphere since almost hundred back and since last sunday. we just as the cover more and more scandals for example -- some of the policemen. we do not we cannot see you the identifying number on on pete's

shoulder anymore and we do know why. and explanation they gave. if they gave us it is doesn't make any sense he said because that's no enough space on on the uniform and is just ridiculous. and also we found out that -- on the computer in some hospitals there's a special special button for the policemen to find out. why some off the that this think people unfair if they came from- demonstration taking they can be identified. by the policemen and there's a special button in the computer for the policemen. so it's very much a big brother society which i presume you're saying is very much akin to what is happening in. the rest of china under -- chinese communist rule. in terms of how far the protest is willing to go sony and and i'll include you in those processes because you are part of it -- in terms of how far

they're willing to come clean now standing up against the police. surrounded the headquarters and that seems to be incredibly serious but you know we're looking for that you think. well i think. being to millions. fighting for the same cost. give us a lot of courage. and we do not need to justify ourselves anymore whereas in two thousand fourteen the population was quite divided. and what i it we're not naive me very we know how tough the that the fights is gonna be. i'm we we we we just one minute like recent reasonably. you know we just try to keep the freedom that we have always had- and we won first of all i think. a lot of as one pm the extradition bill to be totally cancel the project to be canceled.

and second -- at the five protesters who were arrested we want them to be free. and also we won an independent investigation. to to understand why the the police was so violent to the peaceful protesters. and most of the time the young people got beaten up. we want to understand why so when we want something that we want and in th investigation which is independent and not just watching tv to see them. pass the ball from one department to the other. so the chance thank you very much for coming to see us here at france twenty four and sharing your experiences. your thoughts and your feelings about what will happen next and what is happening now in hong kong is a pleasure to meet you. and i wish you all. the best with the projects going forward that solution that artist comedian and as we've been hearing. activist if is very strongly about situation -- i'll say back
