comply. with. a warm welcome you're watching r.t. international broadcasting to you live from the russian capital. but your political rivalry between two of the middle east's main powers saudi arabia and iran has been the subject destabilizing other regional players yemen and lebanon. and the latest development strikes targeted the defense ministry in the yemeni capital it was march twenty fifth that saudi arabia launched its incursion into yemen by launching an air campaign against the truth these were backed by iran yemeni civilians are also being affected by the latest saudi led bombing here's what they told our sister channel r.t. arabic. but then a second rocket hit my house was destroyed i'm just an ordinary person on the bus

driver i'm not a military commander not an agent of the state why did they do that to me my house didn't hold a single bullet to the fear that i had weapons so i want them to watch this i have nothing this is just a house and i'm going to pull person that i was feeling knew my head and leg were injured our houses were destroyed this is the result of aggression how how is this in their area are affected by the strike riyadh has intensified its bombardment of yemen in response to a missile fired towards the saudi capital a week ago by his the fight is saudi arabia was quick to blame it on iran saying that iran directly supports the hasty it's later a senior u.s. air force official claims the ballistic missile had been made in iran better than i read markings on the business. that's been demonstrated and there are pictures that depict that to me that connects the dots to iran in terms of supplying.

missiles and that capability from i am going to end that war 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. that is marked as you have takes a look at the escalating tensions between two of the biggest players in the middle east. recently barely a day seems to go by without saudi arabia making headlines and it almost always boils down to it's arch enemy iran it is a game of chess that spans an entire region on every front in every country the saudis see iran's evil influence. the who three rebels in yemen who saudi arabia has been bombing for many years fire

a rocket riyadh that the saudis could only describe as a rainy an aggression the saudis also ready to throw that allies under the bus to create an excuse to denigrate iran. q the lebanese prime minister holding a successful meeting with the iranians and then going to saudi arabia and out of the blue without warning declaring his resignation lou inching into a tirade about evil raney an influence plunging the region into chaos and destruction. were never iran is present it plans discordant destruction of. our countries in lebanon syria. yemen well i would like to be iran and its followers that they would lose in their. you lose

a poor and gain an opening then there's the blockade of cattle. a trade embargo seva ties ultimatums and warnings punishment some say for cata daring to deal with the rain ians and then there's syria the saudi sponsored rebellion is dying the hardest allies losing an aside is winning and while syria may have unexpectedly checkmated riyadh here the saudis are ramping up attacks on iran on other fronts truly this is an international game of chess with nations and populations at stake ironic given that last year so dia arabia's highest islamic cleric battened the chess saying that the game causes and miti and hatred between people and even when played on

a giant geopolitical scale well it looks like he was right. the sudden resignation announcement made by the lebanese prime minister from the saudi capital which murat just mentioned has also significantly added to the tension there's been speculation that saudi arabia could be holdings very against his will riyadh has denied the allegation however the leader of lebanon's political and military hezbollah movement has the nasrallah has accused the saudis of unprecedented interference. the lebanese prime minister was forced to resign and he read a statement that was dictated by them he was placed under house arrest and prevented from returning to his country it's obvious that saudi arabia declared war on the entire nation of lebanon not just as but. now as we mentioned saudi arabia has denied all claims it's holding her very against his will but riyadh's closest ally

the u.s. added to the confusion in terms of the conditions of him being held or the conversations that visions of him being held as you can depend. i'm not going to put that word behi out i'm not going to associate that word with that but where he is right now. where there is as you know the most room i was invited in i don't know personally where he is meanwhile saudi arabia and its allies kuwait the united arab emirates and bahrain have ordered their citizens to leave lebanon immediately well as the experts about the possible reasons for the current escalation between saudi arabia and iran regard is rolling out an entirely new plan no to create chaos in the region where a recount and lebanon another squidgy of lots of flu is an easy shot it's low hanging fruit there is a great momentum right now as i'm speaking this week in saudi arabia to try and

create some sort of military strategy against iran to destabilize around or or any of iran's proxies in the region saudi arabia is isolated in the in the emerging you'll be the least the last in syria because of the feel of the dash project the last in iraq i was just back from baghdad and the talk in baghdad is about not balkanization but about iraqi national unity the lost again with the blockade against got there they are losing the war on yemen which is horrifying we dance of thousands of civilian casualties and supported by the u.s. congress for that matter and using american weapons and nuclear weapons and now they're trying to change the narrative they're bringing the run they're trying to ratchet up a confrontation involving lebanon which is caught in the crossfire and is still is the same old story the saudi arabia yes the iran and countries seen the middle east states are going to be caught in the crossfire. saturday night

a massive crowd turned out in barcelona demanding the release of cards and then years jailed for their leader is a demonstration was held on catalonia as a national day and attracted seven hundred fifty thousand people i. we are here to have a free country in which we stand with the more years and all of the culture and government are in our hearts through this i went to all the demonstrations the is i want my grandsons to have a life that we didn't have before that was we here to defend our politics defend those currently in prison to defame democracy and here we do fight for our human rights for our future for our culture. for our children they feared him a spanish prime minister is now in barcelona he's attending a presentation of his party's candidates for the upcoming election the home hosting

the gathering is full of people supporting spanish integrity there waving both national and catalan flags. early this week for independence protests ended in clashes with police as activists tried to block the railway stations in the cities of barcelona. the standoff took place after a general strike bought much of the region to hold with activists blocking crucial transport networks in major cities again in protest over the jailing of former regional leaders madrid accuses them of rebellion and sedition and has an old catalonia as declaration of independence. several former castle and leaders including the ex-president fled to belgium where they are now waiting a decision on their face miles from a number of can't learn towns arrived in brussels to voice their support for the to

produce colleagues they faced a rally staged by spanish unity supporters we spoke to r.k. a catalan spokesperson for the european partnership for independence she joined us from one of the pro independence protests. said ruefully. forced by attacks on institutions and obviously they report that there's no doubt that this guy's not going to get in a sense it's an outrage it's very good to garden for for that for the spanish to stay to read to make believe that they are the ones reagan peace when they are the ones bringing the bar and i know who you are being in an illegitimate way the pats are an institution to spend just a morally righteous do for oh lord international treaties that then stopping that

baby fat love from all the south so minissha under universal rights in that band i legitimately haven't danced my league our. sister channel r.t. america has been given until monday to register as a foreign agent in the us that's on the orders of the us justice department which that the deadline on thursday november the ninth is for r.t. america fails to do so it's bank accounts could be frozen the order was made and the legislation adopted more than seventy years ago before world war two to counter nazi propaganda in america medina culture never looks at the reaction to the move. we are a news channel but at the moment we are in fact the news the mounting pressure on r.t. as this week cominius it and an ultimatum sent to us by the u.s. justice department r t america has been required to register as

a foreign agent in the united states by monday with been left with no other choice but to comply but artie's adventure into the channel is being forced into conditions and wish it simply cannot war. just imagine you work in the media and have to sign everything you do with foreign agent or produced by a foreign agent how does it feel for any media outlet to disclose its personal data it's trucked to have to declare any interviews that you do to ministries and institutions this can be called part of the job these conditions are aimed at destroying us as mass media. at the moment russian lawmakers are drafting tit for tat measures targeting american finance media in russia while there is a list of candidates that might be had by those and among them are c.n.n. and voice of america radio liberty and its korean toin television channel but the

crackdown on r t n the us poses some very uncomfortable questions to students that if those who are doing this in the u.s. have always been proud of being the world's number one democrats and freedom of speech has always been the main value it here to buy them there's no democracy without freedom of speech and it's not going to allow a media in the u.s. is making a mistake an attack on freedom of speech itself the. pressure has been mounting on r.t. ever since we were accused of somehow making us voters choose trump over hillary last year but can one channel really will that much power or is this just in a town to sell i fell alternative. and donald trump and vladimir putin's paths crossed at the apec summit in vietnam only briefly protectively more on that and i take.

it like the many players over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball is an hour. me about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to do the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game

my great so what more chance for. peace it's going to. welcome back u.s. president donald trump say's better relations with russia essential when it comes to solving world crises like syria and north korea he was speaking a day off to the apec summit in vietnam we have to get to work to solve syria to solve north korea to solve ukraine to solve terrorism and i feel that having russia in a friendly pasha as opposed to always fighting with them is an asset to the world and an asset to our country not a liability getting along with other nations is a good thing not a bad thing believe me. donald trump also stressed the need to overcome disagreement over alleged russian meddling in the u.s.

elections a formal meeting between the russian and the us presidents had been highly anticipated though it never transpired apparently due to scheduling problems. i nevertheless the two leaders did briefly catch up on the summit sidelines and that was enough time for them to approve a joint statement on the situation in syria where they both both confirms their determination to defeat islamic state the president also agreed that there can be no military solution to the syrian conflict they also said that the final a political settlement should be found through the geneva talks format and stressed that syria is still a sovereign country when we discuss the joint statement approved by trump and putin with british m.e.p. re finch he says america and russia realize that cooperation is necessary what they're talking about is getting closer together and working on diplomatic solutions to problems not just in the middle east book around the world the fact is

if we have an america seated each other that does nobody any good if all of the sides involved understand that america and russia and the rest of the countries from the west all are actually on the same side here eventually they have to be a rapprochement and they have to understand that they will have to work together it's not going to be because these things never are particularly in the middle east but it will have to happen and it's a good sign and america and russia have come true on the standing. on the last leg of his first asian tour donald trump landed in the philippines today where he was received with a not so warm welcome on the capital streets. was. hundreds of people descended on the u.s. embassy in manila to protest transmit it to the country riot police used water cannon on the angry crowds. colossal

bribery and fraud tires and gulf to the u.s. navy that's according to prosecutors in the so-called facts lead case has now revealed the true extent of the scandal the initial inquiry took place more than four years ago when twenty eight personnel including two admirals were indicted but now it's transpired that four hundred and forty navy staff are under investigation including more than sixty admirals and scores of offices all of them are suspected of sharing secret information in return for bribes such as alcohol and prostitutes the identities of the majority of people implicated are being held back to avoid jeopardizing the investigation the release of such information would likely reveal sensitive details about the breadth and scope of the criminal investigation and pending cases. or these revelations are being described as the worst corruption

scandal in u.s. navy history yet some are surprised that providing classified information to a foreigner is being treated as fought kellett morgan explains how the terms espionage and corruption appear to have been swapped in this inquiry. but what did they do well allegedly they were seduced by leonard francis a.k.a. fat leonard he offered them booze parties luxury hotels and cash in exchange for information about where u.s. navy ships were going in the pacific ocean he did this in order to earn contracts now fat leonard aka leonard francis is in a san diego jail so giving away military information launched an inquiry into corruption now these navy officers admitted to giving away ship schedules and they pleaded guilty to bribery but leaking and giving up classified government information under u.s. law as it called bribery it's called espionage why is the espionage act not being

applied to corrupt a navy officers christian saucer took some photos with his cell phone in a classified area of a u.s. nuclear submarine nobody paid him anything and he didn't leak them to anyone he simply lost his cell phone well he ended up getting sentenced to a year in prison now his mother thinks her son got a raw deal in two thousand and nine there was no cell phone ban on submarines at that time technology was new and didn't catch up maybe hadn't caught up yet i really have no doubt in my mind that it was a twenty two year old guy that wanted to take it out of where he worked yeah we were and he took pictures and so forth were allowed now when it comes to whistleblowers who reveal u.s. forces killing civilians or the n.s.a.'s massive surveillance it doesn't take long for them to be charged with espionage.

months later i started working at the agency where you were at the time which you. saw it looks like photographers without malintent and whistleblowers get hit with stiff penalties but if you're a good ole boy in the u.s. navy brass and you trade military secrets for sex and cash well it looks like the stiff penalties just don't apply kill them up and are seeing new york.
