but. look only some bites. from. it was manufactured in the amount it so that we. manufacturing. by the technology we haven't seen any proof yet that could be the american incitement against iran are we going to witness some sort of attacks. are we going to witness some sort of a. it's actually a military arms in libya which is. we don't know yet but it is it is very very significant american side and. meanwhile saudi arabia has been accused of declaring war on lebanon and the strong words come from the leader of lebanon's hezbollah political a militant group. and it's obvious that saudi arabia has declared war on the entire

nation of lebanon not just has been long in lebanon the leader of hezbollah actually went on to claim that the lebanese prime minister is actually being held under house arrest by the saudis calling that an unprecedented in for intervention in lebanon and affairs and that's because lebanon's outgoing prime minister hasn't been seen since last week when he announced his resignation in the saudi capital and what's more surprising is that harare's own party back in lebanon who is in opposition to has also think the same thing that he was forced to make that resignation speech by saudi arabia and that he's being held there against his well even reportedly asked france who has close ties with lebanon to look into the situation and they only came up with the statement that they think that he is free to move around whereas the united states state department only added further confusion to the mix with the comments that they made in terms of the conditions of him being held or the conversations with him being held as you know detention room

i was right so clearly western powers don't have a real concrete idea of what his condition is. i there but putting the question of his whereabouts aside there's also the focus of his resignation speech about something that's also very important to note in that he physically and ardently attacked iran accusing the country of planting discord and destruction and interfering in arab countries also warning that the hit their hand of influence in the region would be cut off and in the wake of all of that saudi arabia and three of their allies actually urged all of their citizens to leave lebanon immediately and that's a very frightening and open ended situation you know why should they leave what's going to happen there and here is where you sort of need to take a step back towards the government that was ousted in two thousand and fifteen where iran backs the hutu rebels that are fighting the very government and you can also look at syria again same sort of situation they're backing opposing parties

saudi arabia is and iran is pro assad so it's everywhere in the region and all these proxy wars are sort of coming to a head it's the fear that this could push the region into a potential potentially bigger and more direct confrontation. based journalist martin jay thinks that the recent developments in the region a part of saudi arabia's broader strategy to confront iran riyadh is rolling out an entirely new plan no to create chaos in the region where a recount and. not the scrutiny of the isn't easy sure it's a low hanging fruit there is a great momentum right now as we're speaking this week in saudi arabia to try and create some sort of a military strategy against iran to destabilize around or or any of iran's proxies in the region in the next conflict the next war that we see in the middle east is going to be bigger than anything else before because the stakes. so high in the

last five or six years largely due to cellular a good for its own interests policy in the region we've seen the emergence of hezbollah. and its proxies even stronger iran is growing as well is growing stronger and more powerful in the region every single day so there's an awful lot at stake and let's hope. that. does don't push it into the water tuition. i think tank called european values has lost a petition that demands the west confront russia's quote aggression and hostile influence in a more determined way the document boasts a long list of signatories as it's claimed are heads of think tanks as well as security experts however as it turns out at least one of them did up on this without ever signing the petition i'm speaking about irish journalist brian mcdonald and i can speak to him directly now to get a firsthand account of what or didn't happen as may be the case here good evening t. bryant so just talk me through this your name appears on the list when did you first

become aware of it and what was your reaction. first became aware of it at the bios in irish time about three o'clock today when the young man that works in the do is that which is a russian broadcaster based and a russian language broadcaster noted by me twitter and having my feel about seeing your name on this list. very offended i mean i certainly don't want to be in the same company as the likes of bill browder you know james that gent girl who recently said that all russian journalists are embedded with the security apparatus i guess we don't want to be associated with jamie kirchick a neo con and wants perpetual war i absolutely don't want to use it was it my mccue that used to lobby for me to suck actually in police in georgia and definitely i didn't want any connection to johnson there was a former n.s.a. says the who i think frankly is quite mad in his coverage. i've heard of fake news accusations never heard of petitions the document also calls you a former r.t. correspondent i don't recall that i've been it quite well i've been here since the

beginning i don't recall you being a correspondent worry. you know i've never been an artsy correspondent. not i've never worked for artsy television and stage act so but you know i know what this is about i think i have i think i've worked out two weeks ago approximate you know what i twelve days ago i wrote an article which exposed our george sure us response for twenty five percent of the funding of this lobby group and right european values and that was after the smear two thousand three hundred twenty seven prominent or two guesses useful idiots that included harrison for stephen fry will i add kremlin agents according to their useful idiots for the kremlin according to this lobby group even mr t. was on the list i mean many grown up watching the eighteen might as well i never saw him as a as a kremlin stooge they mixed up larry king with larry date that which was the longest and you know i think they probably i would instantly because of this and i think my impression is that they probably had a realist and they also had you know

a junk list or something of or some reason emerged that would be my guess and what look i'd like to say to you guys i don't know of europe but they don't represent europe at the core european values and my view is a europe that goes all the way from dublin or listen across the uk and rush because these guys are trying to sleuth russia which is yours biggest country from the european community of nations and what they're requesting is they're pushing george charts of values and american values which try to exclude russia as i said in europe the family and only supported you political aims the united states of which once europe with no independent foreign policy a junior partner to the us i mean not as a country with regard to you wrote this week's the what they really want is a unique polar world a country that just elected a lunatic as president that's america must hear talk about european values i mean one thing is very clear it's not european values to be name calling and as you said they called many guests on our team useful idiots and nothing very clear that this was really should only put together the numerous articles and then it seems again

this petition lots of factual mistakes did you think about contacting the think tank and pointing out the glaring error what what about your actions. i'd rather not you know there's an old saying in ireland he laid down the dogs to make up the city's night rather that if you would it would long for george soros. you know people who see europe as you know you know they see it like that they look at it as something that can only they can only accept a europe that corresponds to their values which are also in the real cloak strikes they are people who regard a great many europeans in fact wraps the majority of people on the continent as not being european and those are not european values european values they go back to office the thing that goes back centuries and centuries you look at russia i mean the country you're in right now the one usually united states here at the moment and you know russia has given europe much of its like coach and much of its great art literature and family and these people want to exclude russia from the european family of nations and this is long in my view and i think it's absolutely

outrageous so i won't engage with these people i mean you say could ask for advice you know that ask for clarification when you're talking about i just don't really want to have humans that think what is in the connection little bit now it's all just the designation that they use. good company i'm in good company with the british prosecuting email exchanges with us we do thousand and fourteen and china talian journalist who has been following or is it was revealed that the crown exchanges where their counterparts in sweden following the stepping down of all boys spite the fact that this journalist who asked for this information had said that it's actually according to her incredible that this information would be destroyed and that they must have something to hide the crown prosecution service have said that whatever information was deleted despite there being impossible for them to get this information back they're saying that this was something that had no legal implications in the astonished case the individual was

a lawyer and the c.p.s. extradition given it discussing matters relating to extradition proceedings which concluded in twenties twelve. the case was therefore not mine when the e-mail account was deleted now according to the weekly leaks founder himself he has tweeted that the u.k. prosecution prosecution destroyed all their e-mails the u.k. told sweden not to interview me back in twenty eleven and twenty thirteen and sweden wanted to burn after reading those e-mails that according to julian assange now we can also tell you that there is a lawyer in an upcoming information tribunal surrounding these latest developments that are going to be heard in london next week who has said that these potential revelations could have had some impact on the amount of time that the sound case has dragged out for serious questions are being should be raised with the u.k. authorities around the accountability of the crown prosecution service and an internal review about the way this case is being conducted it could have been

resolved a long time ago and the fact that they had been advising the swedish authorities not to come here contributed to that delay contributed to the british government being found in breach of their international the geisha and we have to remember that julian assange has been seeing here at the door an embassy in london since the summer of twenty twelve and organizations such as the united nations have found his detention to be arbitrary and this swedish prosecution have already dropped the rape allegations that were brought against him initially so obviously these this is now seen as quite crucial information in terms of what this could have meant for the amount of time he has been staying here in london. british human rights campaign the peter tatchell believes that these dizzy to do move significant impact on the sundays case. and that does call into question what was deleted and why we know that in an earlier request the crown prosecution service responding to a freedom of information request did redact the fact that it had

advised the swedish lawyers not to come to london to be redrawn asar in the process and the only way this was found out was because the italian reporter who made that f.l.y. request to the u.k. authorities made a similar the crown prosecution service in the u.k. did indeed advise the swedish prosecutors not to come to london to interview and if the prosecutors have come to london and interview julia sanj as he said he was willing to be interviewed then this long drawn out case may not have continued all these years. three people have been injured in southwest france after a car rammed into a crowd according to police the driver says he did it on purpose show the dubin ski has more. around four o'clock local time here in france the driver of a car rammed his vehicle into a group of people outside

a college in the french commune of blood neck which is said down in the southwest of france near to lose now we understand that three people three students were injured in that incident including two they said to be in a serious condition in hospital all they are being treated for their injuries now we understand that those who were injured were students and were all sit in the twenty eight year old driver was said to have been known to the police because he had some previous minor offenses including some offenses including drugs but just to repeat he was not on any security watch list. however berlin's police chief has denied all the allegations the scandal comes just two days after the city's police academy was accused of unrolling violent and criminal trainees peta all of has been investigated. amid accusations there were by lindt or even criminal recruits of its academy things were already looking bad for berlin's police force but now it's

got a whole lot worse with the arrest of an intern which is a ruptured into a deeply embarrassing scandal the twenty year old female student is accused of illegally copying photos of people wanted in a police operation and sending them on it's alleged she was planted in the force by one of the city's notorious our mafia clans we forwarded the allegations to the police and this was all we received a response berlin police have launched a criminal investigation into a twenty year old student from the berlin school of economics and law she's accused of revealing state secrets is it true that the suspect has migrant roots yes. those who devote their time to studying the mafia clans of berlin say attempts to increase diversity in the police as left the door open to infiltration the way.

of. the police academy the new government in berlin. for the first bone portrait of for people we have by delusion big crowd who accept that it's was. good for them to. prefer doing last week an anonymous letter was sent to the earl in chief of police purporting to be from a long serving detective it claimed that arabic mafia families were using the berlin academy to infiltrate the force something the city's police union says that currently isn't any proof of. at the moment we do not have any cases where there is clear evidence of that but we do understand that criminal organizations like these

clans have an incentive to try and infiltrate government organizations like the police and that's why it's so important during training that we identify who belongs as part of the police force and who does not. go to who are these arabic must be a clown that it's claimed run ins criminal underworld among ten of them it's impossible to put a percentage figure on how much criminality they account for but if you look into it then yes they are present in all different types of crime revenues drugs racketeering prostitution criminal revenue streams and it's for those reasons that people directly involved in law enforcement and the citizens of berlin. i want to know if their police force has been compromised by criminals peter all over. to syria now where the liberation of the last islamic state stronghold in the country has been confirmed by russia's defense ministry a d mining operation is now

underway in the city syria says that islamic state self-proclaimed caliphate launched three years ago is on the verge of collapse product that the units of our armed forces in cooperation with paramilitary and allied forces have liberated abu kemal city there is or province the last stronghold of the islamic state terrorist group in eastern syria this is cheeseman is highly significant as it represents the beginning of the islamic state project's collapse in the region. according to russia's defense ministry some terrorists escaped the city and headed north days before the operation which was supported by russian airstrikes there were heavy clashes four countries took part in the liberation and it's been a long road to get here at one point i still controlled as much as over half of serious territory the terrorists left a trail of destruction in the wake for example the ancient city of palmira. cleared state hood in two thousand and fourteen the world was not ready no one knew

what to make or how to deal with these seemingly bloodthirsty zealots their very brand with terror. at the time it seemed like isis came out of nowhere it seized a huge amount of territory it had a currency laws and courts tens of thousands worldwide came to join it the international community virtually reacted with the us cobbling together a coalition to resist isis i can announce that america will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. our objective is clear we will degrade and ultimately destroy all eisel isis suffered its first major

defeat in the syrian city of kabbani we were there filming the u.s. air strikes and i remember it as an incessant barrier that all but pull over arised body. there isis lost many of its veteran fighters that didn't stop them they enjoyed many more victories but not the overwhelming success of the early days things would get worse soon in september two thousand and fifteen russia join the fray it was the beginning of the end for isis within half a year isis suffered a hugely symbolic defeat in the ancient city of.

french president which has put him on the cover of its latest issue accompanying the photo a flattering inscription it says the next leader of europe but on closer inspection the covers not quite so forming a footnote france editor in chief of the purple a magazine believes the french leader only has himself to blame. some call him a new napoleon i prefer jupiter jupiter the king of the gods that's probably what he would like better than the polian e's clearly isa young man from the in are from the school of the elite and once to manage fronts in a presidential way so he doesn't like for example that trump uses twitter all the time so you need to distance with the people you know and that's why the people feed this article somewhat so it was the sort of words that nobody dares you for

using it doesn't allow them to have exchange handshakes at the eylea place not easily between mr putin the head than.
