this there in the army confirms israeli forces once again targeted their positions disputed. golan heights as the second strike on the area in two days. and we are the british prime minister she faces calls to resign over. land to. take to the streets. and we now know the more teams through to the semifinals of the confederations cup germany win and chile do enough to progress in their deciding games we'll have a report from our special studio.

five am here in the russian capital and you're watching the weekly on our team to national. serious as its army positions and the goal in hindsight have once again come under fire from israel as the second strike in the area in two days to middle east correspondent well this year as more. well the tsunami has issued a statement in which it has accused these rabies of targeting syrian army positions on the side of the golan heights now the syrian army is currently fighting the terrorist group. and they say that the israeli attacks are only hoping. they have been to such israeli attacks since saturday as for the israeli side israeli air force has its. knowledge conducting those strikes it says that it is in

response to projectiles that landed on the israeli side of the golan heights of course the golan heights is disputed territory but the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying quite clearly at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting that they would be a price to pay even if such projectiles and and are not targeting israel but land on israeli territory by mistake. walked policy is clear we will not tolerate any spillover or trickle whatsoever neither morse's nor rockets from any front we will respond strongly to any attack on our territory our citizens. now talking to some people on the ground what is being exposed is the view that the syrian army needs to pay the price for whatever happens in the golan heights even if the syrian army is fighting terrorists israel still continues to hit their positions. from a u.s. diplomat jav has been that israel might have any other motive for this try. it's

one thing for the israelis to say that they will protect their border that's leave because aside the question of what the status of the golan is the bigger question is this is there is there something more behind this then just the israelis responding to what they admit is an errant lending of syrian missiles on their side of the border the anti-government forces in syria are on the ropes that the the basques government is making great gains that there has concerned these terrorist forces supported by as we know saudi arabia qatar and these other countries with the silent backing of israel and of course the participation of the united states are are in big trouble and for these really what that means is that they are quite clear about this that they don't want to see forces allied with iran on their border particularly hizbollah and i think that's the real concern that they're expressing through this action whether it will grow into something major i don't

know. syria has also recently been heads via the u.s. on monday moscow said that it was holding call aeration with washington over syria after the call down as they were inside a plane the day before the pentagon earlier cleaned it had shot down the syrian jat in self-defense after it bombed u.s. backed militants but damascus says that its plane was attacking islamic state the syrian jad was down near the i still held city of rocco which is just see each by us back to local troops it's not the first time the u.s. led coalition has targeted assad's forces in the war zone last month in south and syria the collison also bombed pro-government forces several times after accusing them of violating so-called de confliction zones artie's an isa now it takes a closer look at the latest round the u.s. shoots down a syrian plane over syria in self-defense the only action that we have taken

against pro regime forces in syria and they've been to specific incidents have been shelved let's imagine a random guy comes into your house with a gun and shoots your dog and then he's like it was just self-defense i wanted to make sure there was no violence going on here as coalition speaking of deescalation after this self defense move the situation couldn't be worse russia now considers all u.s. led coalition planes in the area of potential targets and are tracking them all of this happened as both the u.s. and syrian government backed up by the russian air force were fighting isis in the stronghold of iraq are now washington and moscow have locked horns in syria again focus has shifted and isis is probably breathing a deep sigh of relief while watching syrian fighter jets crash in flames on the horizon good job superpowers you're not so super slick. and flared

even further on tuesday after the u.s. led coalition shot down another syrian aircraft and now unmanned drone the pentagon claimed the armed drone had been advantage saying on u.s. backed forces and south and syria once again the college unsound that the downing of the aircraft was monster of eight heads by self defense while analysts were in that washington is playing a dangerous game. did the americans react to syrian threats as a source or were they trying to assert. over syria if you think about it really ever since the early one nine hundred ninety s. have been used to it being able to patrol will they go to the skies with impunity and feel threatened but also the allies on the ground are threatened are we going towards you know more suspension of cooperation i think that's what some people in the u.s. administration actually want so they don't meaning they don't want to have cooperation

between you are sort of russia maybe not necessarily trump himself but i think you do have figures who are very. in the administration i think we are heading towards a more suspension of cooperation and more hostility between moscow and washington which could mean some very bleak sonar is for the future of the dungeons on the ground in syria are compensated by anger at home and washington's lead as military moves president drums the administration is facing criticism for breaking in lakshman vows to scale back the flooring interventions. this is illegal war at this point then there's a practical question the practical question is doing anything you want killing every perceived enemy in every perceived leader of chieftain of people and so misbegotten village is it helping trump made it clear that defeating terrorism and putting an end to the trend of u.s. interventions in the middle east were top priorities so he opted for granting more

power to the military what i do is i authorized by military we have the greatest military in the world ok but if it helps eradicate eisel what's the problem well first we have the u.s. training and giving arms to a bunch of anti-government forces one of them the new syrian army would really like to topple assad then there's the syrian democratic forces largely consisting of kurds who would really love to grab more power from the government and eventually become independent so once i finish we will have fully trained armed to the teeth forces controlling significant chunks of syrian territory partially hostile to the government what could possibly go wrong so it seems in its effort to defeat the us could in fact be fanning new hotbed of tension if you like washington has a case of tunnel vision trying to solve only one problem without seeing the bigger picture sound familiar and should iraq anyone but history teaches us nothing clearly not even past tweets such as this one from donald trump to then president obama in two thousand and thirteen he warned that nothing good would come to the us

from attacking syria apparently hindsight isn't twenty twenty one to get to the white house. r.t. washington d.c. . and there is vote which was more than one hundred fifty people onboard has sunk in colombia the incident happened and i reserve the town a lot to pay and the northwest of the country they had of the region's disaster response agency says nine people have died in the accident with twenty eight still missing some of those local newspapers that the boat was overloaded and no one had lived jackets. and rescue operation is underway and we'll bring you the story as we get them. hundreds of people in london have been evacuated from their tower block homes amid fears of a repeat of the grunfeld tower disaster where the blogs have failed far safety tests across the country the grenfell tower disaster britain's deadliest fi in over

a century claimed at least seventy nine lives the fire was only put out more than twenty four hours later and prime ministers resuming admitted that her government hadn't done enough to respond to the disaster but her apology didn't stop hundreds of protesters from across the u.k. demanding justice for the victims. the support on the ground for families in the initial hours was not good enough people were left without belongings without ribs over their heads without even basic information about what happened what they should do that was a failure of the state local and national to help people when they needed it most as prime minister i apologize for that. and as prime minister i've taken responsibility for doing what we can to put things right and i think.

the. key thing after this massacre that i could just by people and everyone's going to shout serious say you know this is mean justice and lois needs to be trying. to get away with this. the fact. that. there are. two key reason. for these. people in that house of parliament. to play. thanks to the ground for tower blaze may have been exposed not only to smoke and fire but also to highly toxic gas that's according to x. rayed analysis of the tragedy. that they were treating three people for cyanide

poisoning an expert has claimed that they in sulu a send boards used on the tower produce a deadly gas when burned the cladding which was highly flammable material used on the outside of the building as well so on to scrutiny. well this week the u.k. also marked one year it says it's voted to leave the european union the actual divorce. got under way the referendum result caused a political earthquake the aftershocks of which are still being felt today. will move a motion in the house of commons calling for a general election to be held on the eighth of june driesum a wanted to strengthen her hand embrace of negotiations with european leaders she needed a mandate for her standing in the divorce from the e.u. breaks it corrects it for treason by breaks it means giving up access to the e.u.

single market and customs union taking full control of u.k. borders and compromise on the free movement of people but instead of a mandate to reason got a hung parliament white criticism of her breaks that position no deal for britain is better than a. no deal would be a very very bad out. now with brittany so what counts when you break the plan which is not easy but the divided parliament in the democratic unionist party which may hope to form a majority with opposes heartbreaks it well the u.k. position leaves more questions than answers some fear the negotiations which have already started will bring little progress through the way. not likely in labor resigned to this breakup the. result. it won't be. leaving. the conditions of the divorce

agreement and now even if they never think she should go to the we may see the next . process officially started when brussels received a letter from to resume may finally declaring the intention to leave the bloc many british citizens still strongly oppose the decision and some once again express their anger on friday or it was for the boy called takes us through the twists and turns of britain's rocky road to the breakup it was a very it changed the course of history the forty eight percent who voted to stay were outraged although the others they were delighted to show me his resume. used to because you know tional bank holiday we will call it. nigel farage may have been jumping the gun that his so called independence day is still a distant prospect the referendum result killed the political career of david cameron

and allowed home secretary to resign made to step up to the plate in the run up to the vote she had been a quiet remain but the desire to lead post brags that britain forced her to reconsider her position bricks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it a year down the line that sounds like something from an alternate universe considering that the reason may hold an election in order to strengthen her hand in the braggs it talks but ended up refueling in the polls and losing her parliamentary majority a true. result politically weakened government limped into negotiations with brussels earlier this week and bear in mind these talks were never going to be a walk in the park. but it. can be

concluded quickly. threats against aggression has been issued by european politicians commission was trying to bully the british people arguments over whether the u.k. would pave the e.u.'s one hundred billion gregg's it bill guaranteeing the rights of citizens in the u.k. and who would get custody of gibraltar what we thought any issues but there is aroused took a back seat when britain was hit by a wave of terror for terror attacks in the space of just three months to be precise and many britons held to reason may direct the responsible because she'd been head of the home office six years before becoming prime minister. and with all the security and political chaos few people even notice that earlier this week briggs

it negotiations officially kicked off but not in the way that london would have hoped the british government's already been accused of caving into brussels over the break that schedule and opinion polls now show that if the country got to vote again it would reject leaving you so just like two reason may the plan for braggs it went from strong and stable so weak and within the space of just one yeah. cia director my claims that russian modeling in the u.s. presidential elections was just a part of a decades long forward to undermine american democracy russia has always denied any interference statement comes and his first interview after taking up the post of cia director and general. i can't talk about the details of the intelligence but we

have the intelligence committee has said that this election was meddled with by the russians in a way that is frankly not particular original they've been doing this for an awfully long time and we are decades into the russians trying to undermine american democracy i think a lot of actors tried to exercise influence in the in the election i don't know the specifics of what russia may or may not have done and what other nations may or may not have done i think the facts are clear in the public domain that the democratic national committee try it may well have rigged the primary for hillary and did their level best to tip the scales in the elections to a bigger issue is the degree to which the obama administration seems likely to have tried to tip the hand heavily in the favor of installing hillary clinton as a successor to barack obama that's something that really needs to be investigated. meanwhile rescind poll shows sixty four percent of voters believe investigations into president trump and russia are hurting the country well who do you think feel

it's time congress and the media shifted their attention to other issues journalist and writer tars old tao again believes that there are far more urgent issues to address i think you know what you're seeing is that the american people are far far more concerned about the degree to which jobs are not coming fast enough back to our country a good high paying wages with benefits that's what we really care about and when we think about our foreign issues i think people think deeply about the issues should look back over the last eight years the last sixteen years to think about you know why it makes zero sense to reflexive we go after russia at every turn when in fact our interest america's interest in russia is our forward hosea line through many conflicts portions of the world and i think it would be behoove the trouble of ministration in the putin administration to try to ignore this sniping and stay

focused on the core issues where we do share common interests. as collison forces advance and rucka islamic states defacto capital the un secretary general has expressed concern over the plight of civilians trapped and the say were inside he says there are they face threats from every direction. the secretary general is particularly concerned about the perilous situation for civilians in iraq where trapped and face threats from every direction the secretary general made an urgent appeal to all those conducting military operations in syria to do everything in their power to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. according to u.n. estimates sense monch and rocket three hundred civilians have lost their lives as a result of u.s. led coalition airstrikes but the coalition itself admits to fewer than five hundred deaths over three years of its military campaign it's also reported it employs just seven full time investigators to mine to more civilian casualties however little

progress has so far been made and i knew little about i knew that if this would what they are had the guts of my family and all men to fit the model as well as the actually i'm a little mad about that nesmith has met but you were born you're the one that actually you know but isn't it inevitable and has been and the dome that has you had before that and now it has become of all time had little. one in hasn't one as it was but i want. to. use little blue. digit. marked to go to. a. little kid. well i went to the streets of new york to find out how much americans know about the situation and the says hey i heard about what's happening in iraq i know. now. you heard about civilian casualties

in iraq oh. i had think i have heard something about it we have a video someone talking about it here it is at the at the little when the war planes come they strike multi-storied buildings where the terrorists are then but they're also civilians in that house and how can the plane strike then more civilians die than terrorists so civilians were either helping eisel or being used as hostages or as protection against u.s. armed forces so that they wouldn't attack that house in order to get to ice so how are we supposed to take care of that and not kill innocent civilians if indeed they're innocent secretary of defense matters he says that two billion cattle thieves are a fact of life in this sort of situation do you agree with that oh no not at all you know all life is precious now and nobody dies really but that's the line they

use always and it's in reality there will always be some civilian casualty but it shouldn't be if that life you know for someone sitting in a dust chair in washington to say that it's very difficult. you know i think it's a very delicate political situation some of the reports that have come out say that more civilians have been killed then i still fighters but in surprise me at all especially because that is why they're wearing a badge says i'm a my spider right and they're there we have their breasts like civilian so how can you always tell me who's who's who and it's been a big thing of the friends in the military tell me like you have no idea who it is until like they're shooting at you now that this is a prize and they say that as many as three hundred civilians according to the u.n. have died since march. yeah i mean if a shift is ten airstrikes a day that's treaty expected but again because i think they're making it a fact of life so it's become normal it has become like. the

final group games of the twenty seventeen confederations cup have decided the last two semifinalists chile and germany went through and will now face portugal and max to go in the last four with more here is neil harvey and stan collymore and starting. to soar to the semifinal lineup is now complete let's cut to the chase is germany and it is chile who will complete the final four alongside me stan collymore you make some predictions earlier alongside nick come on come on let's let's go we did it was paul the octopus back in germany in two thousand and six was very good to the buried in germany as we expected when the first game you go thought i was going to happen was out yesterday germany three cameroon one very good camera work in the

first off apply very aggressive very youthful but the german quality kind through carry him. off annoying he's first appearance of a conflict called first team of burned out watch out for the straw in the next twelve months he will be in the germany squad. for the world cup when the germans come back here for two goals the first time a german high school two goals in the confederations cup and then of course it again chile against australia all was completely wrong to actually would have been fairly comfortably a very strong chile and saw it against an australian side which is very useful for this exchange might be for the game and a really creditable draw from the australians let's just you know play some do cynically bear went from a fairly bit which was on the cards for the first forty five minutes so if i was a betting man and i'm not i would have. they stood against the chimney falling and jimmy get to stay and they wanted to be pleased again let's bring in now mon both of these former australian aston villa so many of the chelsea seven of the teams he

playful and you know what he's an old pal old team and he also let you speak to him first azar what's happening sung. good evening meal good evening stan good to hear from you mate. great to hear from you obviously watch the game you've been in russia for the last couple of days that start with a football for us. very creditable australian performance today soggy their best performance on the today new manager for a very long time that was better than chile in the first half and they more than match them during the second half as well chile to be fair stepped it up a good second half and equalized rodriguez but overall a strike and feel very very proud of their performance there for a while there it looked as though the great upset was on obviously a lot of people especially in the west of australia very very concerned about traveling anywhere these days and i was different to come in here but i was wonderfully surprised that i live here in moscow which is. absolutely mobbed the

city the culture the architecture everything good bad is just first class but st petersburg i was there for nearly a week and that was absolutely outstanding as well and the main concern is that obviously people are asking me about it in australia is number one the security and security second set on it's absolutely world class the food has been fantastic the people have been very very helpful and so many people are now in australia now dying to tommy for the world cup as i mean one thing that i think is wrong is that the taxi drivers drive too fast. let's just really allow you to appreciate what this place has to offer summer and winter destination if you want to go on holiday beautiful beaches at the same time will now need a noisy sunday to see how long that was going to try to get from the stadiums the arenas the sea level wonderful sea level. tractions to me lympics lopes over on my left and saw it we went by taxi we went by train and quite some shuras type will call right. this is

a ring work is it that's why i like you so much it's very warm outside i think we've been in the sun a bit too much i was thinking when funds come here we should show them the whole experience what they can do something on the beach we do know though what's the football let's show them what it's like up in the mountains and even on sukhumi freshens well it's good for. the first week here with. my stomach to go to the train station train station speak english yes what's your name on accommodation. are you looking forward to you excited the looks of foreign people going to come to people and fortune that they really like to do it it's historically they like zahra's many people understands english guns legally speaking when they come and i think people understand because we. believe i think people want to see them want

let's go to the kids to go. there actually. is that i think that's just months or east that we can tell gaining altitude to feel. this it rose it has secrets of that scope. and this is from. sunshine. to the very top the rows of this is stunning i mean a study where we're almost at the peak level now and i know right behind you to run

. now we're starting to see snow three hundred sixty degrees and. still we. see these high. profile this for a place to push the confederate should skip the. two thousand eight hundred twenty seven. let's go and get some snow. on i suppose to make a decision to make the school so he's trying to be useful say very good you feel. a lot about. and this is one of those moments where you don't need and what's. next in our international intrigue is former president talks with the world's apart about the latest tensions and reaching.
