in the middle. of the creation of space. simply a radio show. morning

thanks for joining us. for the news. the defense ministry and. some of the buildings collapsed it comes. after a ballistic missile. but i do have you haven't heard the one who told us is true or was that it was just it was not unheard of in the us on the long run i'm gonna miss out i was not in the north after last saturday's missile strike saudi arabia blamed iran for it saying to iran supports the who the fighters in yemen a senior u.s.

air force official said that the but mystic missile used came from iran tehran denies the accusations have been agreed markings on the business. it's been demonstrated. there are pictures that that to me that connects the dots to iran in terms of who supply. missiles and that capability from what i am going to and they want which 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 political commentator and writer abdel bari atwan believes that more escalation in the region can be expected. we know that the saudi high can a blockade of lebanon of yemen they pose more restriction on yemeni ports and their ports and also border crossing so why they are doing that they said we do it in order to close the holes and sanction against yemen so but the problem

is you know that if there is and it's fucking. everything it decides it we're going to be through airports all three seaports it is a more escalation and told of the sound of the that american against iraq so i wouldn't be surprised that there will be some sort of attack or military revenge against it and more economy sanction more maybe economy exactly against hezbollah in lebanon we don't know but definitely there is something cocked and being stand on and against hezbollah in lebanon. so the conflict between the two regional powers is escalating not only in yemen saudi arabia is accused of stirring up war against lebanon that allegation came from the leader of lebanon's hezbollah political and militant group which is backed by iran and while there and it's obvious that saudi arabia has declared war on the entire nation of lebanon not just

has been lost 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 it 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 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 will 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 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's 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 that 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 not only its broader strategy to confront iran because iran definitely does not start with a borderline inside of iran has its own border line that could go and fight their

war there if they want to but the fact that. actually the reason where they can get out or their attention against iran by increasing. tension and war mongering rhetoric against the lebanese government and specifically only against hezbollah they are actually warning the president they are warning of the foreign minister that warning the speaker as well that if you do not stop or by other words if you do not abide by what we are telling you aka intervention direct intervention in the pull of a nice political spectrum then we will start a war to liberate the lebanese people from the grip of hezbollah. yemen has of course 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 . 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 beirut based journalist martin j. thinks the recent developments in the region are part of saudi arabia's broader strategy to confront iran. riyadh is rolling out an entirely new plan now to create chaos in the region where a recount and lebanon will not respect geopolitically is an easy shot 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 military strategy against iran to destabilize around or it or any of iran's proxies in the region and 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 for wrecked up so high in the last five or six years largely due to saudi arabia's fault it's an interventionist policy in the region we've seen the emergence of hezbollah and its proxies even stronger iran is growing as bill 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 these these sort of instance don't push it into the into that was situation. the latest u.s. defense budget proposes the creation of a six branch of the military that of the space corps however congress blocked a proposal despite approving a seven hundred billion dollars military bill for the upcoming year it amended the bill so that any american military space activities will be controlled by the u.s. air force and as my dad goes the reports air force commanders love the idea. little did you know this week may well go down in history the pentagon's announced it's

weaponize ng space job one for an air force and an air component is to gain and maintain air superiority freedom from attack and freedom to maneuver unlike space superiority it's not an american birthrate yet or resources planned for the fight for it and when it the hints were all there almost a decade ago one hundred and seventy eight countries voted on the u.n. resolution to prevent a space arms race only two countries abstained the u.s. and israel washington also blocked a joint russian chinese effort to ban all weapons in space after all who is to say what is a weapon. any object orbiting or transiting through space can be a weapon if that our ject is intentionally placed onto

a collision course with another space object this makes treaty verification impossible yet they keep saying that everything that you do has a peaceful purpose take the x. s. y. in the spacecraft. a jet that could put satellites into orbit on the cheap probably means if you can take a satellite into orbit it can also take our hostile satellite out of orbit who's going to stop them there. last year the us put several mysterious satellites into orbit not your usual kind of ones that watch earth know these apparently monitor other spacecraft friendly neighborhood watch. the u.s.

is not seeking to weaponize space our goal is to work with all responsible spacefaring nations to ensure a safe secure and stable space environment the u.s. air force is x. thirty seven b. which has spent almost two years orbiting the earth its purpose is classified its mission is classified its budget is classified. then you've got the various kinetic bombardment and global strike projects that the pentagon is reportedly pursuing they'll probably say that those a peaceful to sue peaceful in the pentagon the space budget was doubled last year from five to ten billion and next year it's going up this year's budget increases the eighteen budget proposal increases what the air force is proposing to

spend on space by twenty percent and we're shifting to space as a war fighting domain just think of the message these sends ready set arms race. was a blow and frequent guest john kiriakou was invited to speak of the e.u. parliament about whistleblowing in relation to national security but he was removed from the panel at the last minute for co-hosting a radio program on the russian media outlets but nick kiriakou worked for the cia for fourteen years in two thousand and seven in a televised interview he revealed the agency was waterboarding al qaeda suspects then spent two years behind bars for whistle blowing and we spoke kiriakou told us how he was removed from the e.u. parliamentary panel. i was invited to speak on two separate panels at the european

parliament day before yesterday and the first one included a representative of the bernie sanders organisation people for bernie unfortunately that representative said that she could not appear on a panel with me because i'm associated with sputnik radio and she didn't want the appearance of bernie sanders appearing to endorse the russian media i laughed when she first said it because it was so ridiculous that i thought she was joking and then she walked away and one of the aides handed me updated schedule and my name was was not associated then with the first panel that's politics in america right now isn't it where where everybody blames the russians the russians the bad guys for absolutely everything and and they feel like they can't even risk even a tangential association with the russians or with anything russian for fear of being branded by their political opponents it's ridiculous it smacks of the one nine

hundred fifty s. to tell you the truth i wish that i had better understood what was happening as it was happening but like i said a moment ago i thought it was a joke in the beginning and before i could even process what was going on to object the decision had been made to remove me and it wasn't until i was doing the television interview that i finally said to the m.e.p. wait a minute did i get thrown off that panel and he said well we didn't want to make a problem with the other guests and then i thought wow ok well american politics rears its ugly head even in brussels sputnik and r.t. guests have had to endure their share of naming and shaming european think tank recently branded them useful idiots.

thank you. i mean you called me a useful idiot. expressing my opinion. of us doing it his record is the same. we the time. instead of talking about what's next why stop me from getting this close to the white house i'm with 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 on the wheel. of this so you 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. quarter past the hour here in moscow on day two of the apec summit and while it's still unclear whether the russian and u.s. presidents will have a formal face to face meeting they have exchanged words. trump were spotted walking

together having a conversation and ahead of the summit there was much speculation over a possible formal meeting that we do know the top diplomats from both sides have met though no details about what was discussed being released. thanks for joining us saturday morning here at moscow after a short break your news continues. one hundred years ago russia was consumed by revolution unprecedented violence it is not an understatement to say the russian revolution. was a defining moment of the twentieth century how did it change russian. i fear that we may see the iranians taking the first steps towards restarting the nuclear program which will only further ratchet up tensions and further increased risk of the war that's the big danger here this is not just about killing the deal

this is automatically putting the united states on that course in the. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is. the only show i go out of my way to you know really what it is that really packs a punch. john oliver of americans do the same we are apparently better than. c. . heard of. jack tonight president of the world bank take. me seriously send us an e-mail. it is good to have you with us today for your news a ghost city these are the latest pictures from the iraqi city of mosul which was liberated from islamic state in mid summer a massive operation conducted by iraqi forces on the western led coalition and to

the terrorists' three year hold over the city regional officials said the ninety percent of all territory in both iraq and syria that i saw previously seized has now been retaken the liberation came at a very high price. way . according to the latest u.n. estimates the battle for mosul claimed more than twenty five hundred civilian lives the a seven hundred executed by ice so more than four hundred fifty civilians were killed by u.s. led coalition airstrikes during the liberation campaign and almost a million were forced to leave their homes we spoke to an iraqi m.p. about the gruesome consequences of the liberation campaign he assad and a minimum there are many towns line in ruins on the right bank of the tigris river

in the end of a governorate in some towns but has remained under the rubble all infrastructure there is absolutely destroyed joy in the mosul operation lots of civilians died just a colleague bombings of the new part of the city there are many children today whose parents and relatives were killed and they are in dire need of orphanages the iraqi government should create special centers for them moreover lots of women lost their families there are some who survived i say look up to date who have been raped by the terrorists their relatives often turn away from them so that they wouldn't stigmatize the whole family meanwhile washington has been urging iraq to pull shia militias backed by iran out of the country now that they're anti eisold mission is over the u.s. congress is currently considering a slapping the militias with sanctions the response from baghdad was pretty harsh it looks like a sometimes us diplomats are having a tougher time generally getting the message across.

it is for the fighters in iraq for me to go for a little while the iraqi people are really good trolls there is that it overtakes and. popular mobilization unit fighters should be encouraged because they are the hope of the country and the region no party has the right to interfere in iraqi affairs. and it was significant i said nice that we told secretary tillerson that as far as trade is concerned our trade with north korea has decreased significantly as far as

the question about the embassy goes but our embassy there is very small but there is in fact an embassy and i told secretary tillerson that some other friendly countries should maintain embassies there. we do need to leave support i think of our allies the european allies and others to make the case as well to the wrong that this is a meal really has to be revisited. and. we have to international community strongly behind the school implementation to deal. i think we have developed a very bad habit during the early one nine hundred ninety s. when we emerged as they say the sole remaining superpower and we were in a position where pretty much everybody did whatever we told them to do. i think that those habits die hard that people get into the habit of thinking we can tell

you to do this we can tell you to do that but they think we don't know that we don't think that they notice that we're not as strong as we were say twenty years ago relative to other powers. the saturday headlines here on r t a former nurse in germany is suspected of having killed one hundred on six patients recent toxicology tests revealed that the victims had apparently been poisoned peter oliver investigates bills h. drug to patients in his care over a six year period in the hope of being able to bring them back and being seen as some kind of reviving angel he was arrested in two thousand and five and jailed in two thousand and eight on charges of attempted murder the main motivation behind this was so that mills h. could step in and save the day bringing people back from the coast of death but he's also admitted in

a cop twist that he also did this for pics there was tension there and in expectation of what happened next it took a while before the true scale of his crimes became evident following the widespread media attention his incarceration gathered one woman became suspicious that her mother may have actually been one of his victims a further investigation led to neil's age confessing to having killed thirty by lethal injection that saw his initial seven year sentence increase to life in twenty fifteen police admitted that major mistakes were made if the clues had been duly investigated at the time even in golden horse hospital then the deaths of many patients in our opinion could have been prevented by august of this year the forty year old was implicated in nineteen murders making him one of germany's worst serial killers trying to get. the bottom of just how many he may have murdered

investigators have so far examined one hundred thirty four bodies and currently toxicological tests are being carried out in five separate cases to look for the drugs that were favored by mills h. we also understand that further bodies are to be exiled as far afield as poland and turkey prosecutors say they've linked germany's noxious nurse to one hundred and six cases but say they have to admit that they may never know the true number of people he murdered peter all of a r.t. belin. over forty years after the end of the vietnam war and the u.s. has now released a series of new videos of its military operations in the country the footage showing aircraft dropping phosphorus bombs and napalm during the bombing campaign in northern vietnam and these videos in fact filmed in one nine hundred sixty five some ten years after the start of that war joining the vietnam war america did face

criticism for its use of chemical and biological weapons but vietnam was also a testing ground for other types of weapons. and. the kurds or people repel or produced the food affects of wandering soul in which haunting sounds said to represent the souls of dead were played in order to the superstitious sniper's. murder her her her her.

her. and we are back in about half an hour. when lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling class. protect themselves. in the middle of the room sick. mother.

they all. this is all the live. live live. live. live.

live. live. you. i've had to read. over and over and over again.

and again water can scream in. the summer after i turned eight. never really knew what to expect from. during a particularly bad swing she went through desperate days. and to go down to the river. before we got to the river she was just. she decided it was time for. my memories of her really quite. sure that i ever really met my mom again after.

a strange story out of florida this morning where the mother of three children drove into the ocean off of daytona beach. the pregnant mom spoke of the demons before driving into the atlantic. police say they've never seen anything like this. the tiny city of newburgh new york is trying to come to grips with the deaths of three young children who died when their mother drove them into the hudson river among the victims are two year old lance pierre and his eleven month old sister cops we should take nothing for granted not on loves nor on life's families or friends even a sanity one minute all is well the next where plunged into darkness unable to process what is real and what is madness. fulton.
