saudi led coalition airplanes carry out an air strike on the ministry of defense in the yemeni capital of the seminar and. the u.s. air force claims that a missile that was launched at saudi arabia from yemen on saturday was iranian made this is despite tehran's denials it had supplied any such hardware to rebels in yemen. wiki leaks founder julian assange says u.k. prosecutors have admitted to deleting e-mail exchanges concerning his case. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team for national enchong thomas for the glad to have you with us now saudi led airstrikes have targeted the defense ministry in yemen's capital sanaa local media and eyewitnesses
9:01 pm
say that at least in two airstrikes have been carried out according to our correspondent in about a dozen houses were also hit in the bombardment civilian casualties are feared as some of the buildings have collapsed i would use is also described massive explosions and warplanes flying over the city this comes after saudi air defenses intercepted a able to stick missile fired from yemen last saturday aimed at the international airport in no he got earlier on friday a senior u.s. air force official said that a ballistic missile fired by yemeni rebels and targeting the saudi capital last saturday originated in iran. where the iranian markings on those missiles. has been demonstrated and other partner issues that that so to me that connects the dots to iran in terms of who's supplying. missiles and that capability authorities are now investigating how the missile was smuggled into yemen which. under an
9:02 pm
extensive on his embargo currently saudi arabia earlier accused iran of direct military aggression by supplying missiles to with the rebels which iran has denied . someone i am going to and we do not even have the ability to transfer missiles to yemen it's the missiles and they've managed to increase the missiles range and political commentator and writer abdel bari atwan thinks it is too soon to make any conclusions about the origin of the missile but wouldn't be surprised that this. size was manufactured in the amount that so that we. manufacturing the size by dating in technology we haven't seen any proof yet that could be popped open that american incitement against it on are we going to witness some sort of at tax again. are we going to witness some sort of. it's actually a military arms and lebanon which is. we don't know yet but it is it is
9:03 pm
a very significant move from the american side and back to. meanwhile saudi arabia has been accused of declaring war on lebanon of the strong words come from the leader of lebanon's hezbollah political and militant group. saudi arabia has declared war on the entire nation of liberated not just as belonging 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's internal 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 an opposition to has law 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 will even reportedly asked france
9:04 pm
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 as you detention. i'm not going to put that word behind i'm not going to associate that word with it but where he is right now where is he as you know in this room i was driving and i don't know personally where he is so clearly western powers don't have a real concrete idea of what his condition is either but putting the question of his whereabouts aside there's also the focus of his resignation speech that's something that's also very important to note in that he specifically and ardently attacked iran accusing the country of planting discord and destruction and
9:05 pm
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 urge all of their citizens to leave lebanon immediately and that's a very free. ming 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 and look at the bigger picture in the region and that's when you have to look at saudi arabia and iran specifically the two countries have of course been locking horns for years and while there's no direct conflict between them it's always been through proxy wars and lebanon is in fact a prime example of about hariri the prime minister who resigned his living leadership was supported by saudi arabia whereas hezbollah who wields massive power in the country is backed by iran and that leaves lebanon caught up in between those two major powers and it seems and a number of countries were just talking about yemen the missile that was launched
9:06 pm
from yemen they're also caught up in the mix yemen has a force been engulfed in their own civil war for two years now and in that case saudi arabia supports the government that was ousted in two thousand and fifteen where iran backs the who's the 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 as 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 beirut based a journalist martin j. thinks the recent developments in the region are part of saudi arabia's broader strategy to confront iran. is rolling out and saw the new plan no to create chaos in the region. and not risk which simply isn't easy sure it's low hanging fruit
9:07 pm
there is a great momentum right now as we speak this week in saudi arabia to try and create some sort of military strategy. iran to destabilize around 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 been great up so high in the last five or six years largely due to saudi arabia is full to its own entrenched its policy in the region we've seen the emergence of hezbollah. and its proxies even stronger iran is growing as well is growing stronger more powerful in the region every single day so there's an awful lot at stake. and let's hope. that these pushes into the water tuition. switching gears now i think tank called european values has launched a petition demanding the west to confront russia's aggression and hostile influence in a more determined way and document boasts
9:08 pm
a long list of signatories who as it is claimed are heads of think tanks as well as security experts however as it turns out at least one of them ended up on the list without ever signing the petition he is irish a journalist byron macdonald responded to the managed to get a first hand account of exactly what happened. never been an artsy correspondent definitely not i've never worked for artsy television and i'm in stage actually so but you know i know what this is about i think i have i think i've worked out two weeks ago approximately dorky where that twelve days ago i wrote an article which exposed our george sure us response for twenty five percent of the funding of this group in prague european values and that was after the smear two thousand three hundred twenty seven prominent or two guesses useful idiots that included a person for stephen fry will i am your kremlin agents according to your 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
9:09 pm
saw him as a as a criminal stooge they mixed up larry king with larry date that which was the longest and you know i think they probably have it in for me because of this and i think my impression is that they probably got a realists and they also had no junk list or something over some reason immersed team together that would be my guess and what look i'd like to say that you guys i don't know of european values but they don't represent europe. and what they're requesting is they're pushing george charts of values and american values that can only accept your of that corresponds to their values which are also in the world locus rights they are people who regard a great many europeans in fact perhaps the majority of people on the continent as not being european or not and those are not european values now it appears that mcdonald's signature is no longer on that list the same think tank vote has recently come out with a list of the useful idiots designation they used in reference to all our two guests.
9:10 pm
thank you. i mean you called me a useful idiot. expressing my opinions on t.v. there are thousands of us doing it his record is the same strategy we attack. instead of talking about what's next why stop me from getting this close to the white house i'm with a group code pink why not ban the color pink one hour stretch i should be sent to the town of london because i'm a traitor break me although we'll put up with this don't scare me and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out good company i'm in good company you want to do this because we are free thinkers.

9:13 pm
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 of 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. believes that these deleted e-mails could have had a significant impact on the sergeant's case. and that does call into question what was deleted and why we know that in an earlier request the transfer was responding to a freedom of information request did redact the fact that
9:14 pm
vies the swedish voyage not to come to london today was drawn in the process and the only way this was found was because the it's. porter who made that f l i request to the u.k. authorities this made a similar. and she was then given the unredacted version which confirms that the crown prosecution service in the u.k. did indeed advise the swedish prosecutors not to come to london to interview. if the prosecutors had come to london and interview julian assange as he said he was willing to be interviewed then this a long drawn out case of continued all these years. german police authorities are investigating claims organized criminal groups have infiltrated their ranks and other state services that is after
9:15 pm
a police union claimed members of an arab underworld the clan managed to sneak an insider into the berlin force the clear indications that large clans have an infiltration strategy and try to keep certain family members away from criminal activities so that they can later infiltrate state services. however berlin's police chief has denied all these allegations the scandal comes just two days after the city's police academy was accused of enrolling violent criminal trainees artie's peter oliver has been investigating the story for us. amid accusations there were violent or even criminal recruits in its academy things were already looking bad for the 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 a twenty year old female student is accused of illegally copying photos of people
9:16 pm
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 has left the door open to infiltration the way is to. because in the police academy the new government in berlin. for the first phone port to three percent of. people by delusion big crowd who
9:17 pm
accept that it's was. good for them to. prefer doing last week an anonymous letter was sent to that girl 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
9:18 pm
mafia clowns that it's claimed run ins criminal underworld among kind. of 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. the world anti-doping agency says it has it gotten ahold of a new batch of intelligence from moscow. being watchdog adds the information comes from the former wada accredited laboratory in the russian capital it is in an electronic file containing all testing data from two thousand and twelve to august two thousand and fifteen and this is after a number of russian athletes were banned for life on doping charges earlier my
9:19 pm
colleague neil harvey spoke with the host of capital sports on moscow's capital f.m. alan moore he believes money is very much at play in the world event i don't bring the putin has drawn into the you know the whole doping debacle specially with the state sponsored allegations that are attached to it he recently said that the watchdogs themselves though might not be that impartial see trying to turn turn things back on to them he says they might have ulterior motives that his words would wish international schools organizations including the international olympic committee which depends heavily on a number of factors like sponsors broadcasters and advertisers there are huge layers of connections and dependencies in the us as a controlling state all of these companies are based. so president putin saying that this could be political. critics of putin of russia will say well he's going to say that is new you know he's going to say anything to deflect but i was just looking at margaret and its funding and i notice that half of it comes from
9:20 pm
governments and of that three quarters comes from either european governments or governments in the americas so there is a political connection i suppose the question is to what extent could it be influencing their decisions hugely of this is this is a big game because right now in the world of anti doping it's a massive business these are not. nonprofit organizations these are businesses so you care for exams. this summer this past summer we're furious that they lost a right to test our fleet after world champions who of course were held in longer than it was sold it was tendered out to different companies so this is nothing to do with. keeping sport clean or clean your sport or any case this is about business . people have been injured in the southwestern france after a car rammed into a crowd this according to police the driver says that he did it on purpose. that's

donald trump have exchanged handshakes at the pacific economic cooperation forum in vietnam but now anticipated formal meeting between the two leaders did not materialize or to go is end for us. here's how one of the most and to support it scenes of the apec summit in the vietnamese city of all ravelled the heads of state were already lining up for the so-called family photo ceremony wearing traditional yet that means outfits a lot of our group was already standing in front of the cameras and then donald trump came in here approached mr putin they shook hands and then we saw them standing together for the actual photo now here's another thing that i also noticed at the actual dinner table the hosting leaders right and left we saw the leader of china xi jinping and the president of russia vladimir putin while
9:23 pm
donald trump was sat somewhere on the opposite side we've seen the putin trump handshake here in vietnam but no formal meeting or talks that many many people here were really expecting i can tell you that journalists were on the brink of so to say harassing the officials on both sides russian and american about the possibility of the meeting but the formal meeting didn't happen maybe some other time white house press secretary huckabee sanders said in an official meeting. could not take place because of scheduling conflicts on both sides but author and russia analyst martin callie told us that he thinks that the white house was afraid of how the president might look back home. it's quite extraordinary that president would then shake hands with president putin and then somebody would come he would put on the american side up or you would pull the plug of
9:24 pm
a no no we can't go ahead because this would look bad back in america and it will do you harm. and the situation is toxic now because. american ministration really is afraid to meet any russian official because it could be misconstrued to be used by the political enemies back in the united states you have to talk through and agree how you're going to have the meeting what's going to be discussed and you work out what's going to be in the communique afterwards what you're going to say afterwards. they couldn't agree and i take it that they couldn't agree because that the american camp was divided they didn't speak with one voice. french president emmanuel micron's ego has been toyed with by time magazine which has put him on the cover of its latest issue and company of the photo a flattering inscription the next leader of europe however on closer inspection the covers not quite so finding a footnote below adds if only he can read frantz editor in chief at the people
9:25 pm
magazine look at rivera believes that 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 polio e's out again and clearly easy 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 he said you need to distance with the people you know and that's why the people feed his articles and also use the sort of words that nobody dares uses or it would if there before using it doesn't allow the press to be close to him anymore so the honeymoon with the press is finished the t.v. crew with him only one camera following him everywhere. all right that does it for
