a second rocket hit my house was destroyed i'm just an ordinary person in 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 did they fear that i had weapons so i want them to watch this i have nothing this is just a house and i'm the poor person that was fairly new my head in leg were injured our houses were destroyed this is the result of aggression how how is this in the area were 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 who the fight is saudi arabia was quick to blame it on iran saying to iran directly supports the who these later a senior u.s. air force official claimed the ballistic missile had been made in iraq. in a raid markings on the business. that's been demonstrated and there are pictures that take that to mean that connects the dots to iran in terms of who supply.

missiles and that capability has some i am going to end there although 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. artie's morag as if takes a look at the current tensions between two of the biggest players in the middle east. recently benny a days seems to go by without saudi arabia making headlines and it almost always boils down to it's 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 huth the 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 and 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 miles lou entering into a tirade about evil raney an influence plunging the region into chaos and destruction. were never iran his presence it was discordant destruction and interference in our countries in lebanon syria. yemen what i would like to say would be iran and its followers that they would be losers in there. 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 iranians and then there's syria the saudi sponsored rebellion is dying. their jihad ist allies are losing an aside is winning and while syria may have been expected be 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 saudi arabia's highest islamic cleric banned chess saying that the game causes enmity and hatred between people and even when played on

a giant geopolitical scale well it looks like he was right now the unexpected resignation of the lebanese prime minister has only added to the tensions there's been speculation saudi arabia could be holding saad hariri against his will riyadh has denied the claims reid himself has just given his first interview since quitting he said his freezer leave saudi arabia whenever he wants. i'm one hundred and look how look i'm free in thirty arabia if i wanted to leave tomorrow i would leave tomorrow but all these people need to know that i did resign i know it's not an ordinary we're resigning but any prime minister i know that but i did it because i wanted to send them into shock positive shock so lebanese people would realize that our country is in danger. but meanwhile saudi arabia and its allies kuwait the united arab emirates and bahrain have ordered their citizens to leave lebanon immediately we asked unless for their take on the current situation

between saudi arabia and iran riyadh is rolling out an entirely new plan now to create chaos in the region where a recount and lebanon are not risk which if it's a fluke is an easy shot it's a 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 new we believe they've lost in syria because of the feel of the dash project they've lost in iraq i was just back from baghdad and the talk in baghdad is about not bach and i was stationed but about iraqi national unity they lost their blockade against karkare they are losing the war on yemen which is horrifying we then saw thousands of civilian casualties and supported by the u.s. congress for that matter and using american weapons and u.k.

weapons and now they're trying to change their narrative their brain in the run they are trying to ratchet up a confrontation involving lebanon which is quite in the crossfire and it still is the same old story the saudi arabia yes the run and countries seen the middle east states are going to be caught in the crossfire. and saturday night a massive crowd turnout in barcelona they demanded the release of carson is jailed former leaders the demonstration was held in catalonia as national day attracted almost a million people. i. i i thank you. but if we are here to have a free country risk endless pushed him on here he and all of the cattle in government are in our hearts to do this i wanted all of the demonstrations the as i long i'm glad to have a life that we didn't have if i were here to defend our politics defend those

currently in prison and to defame democracy and here we do find our human rights far as you chose to our culture and use all of them for our children they feared. a spot as prime minister is now in barcelona he's attended a presentation of his party's candidates for the upcoming regional election is what he calls the separatists have a whole host in the other ng was full of people supporting spanish integrity there waving both national and catherine flags. this week pro dependence protest spot clashes with police as activists try to block railway stations in the cities of barcelona and zero. i. know this came after a general strike brought much of the region to a halt again in protest over the jailing of the region's former leaders madrid accuses them of rebellion and sedition as an old declaration of independence.

several members of the deposed leadership fled to belgium where they are waiting to see if they'll be deported back to local council and travel to brussels to offer support but were confronted by a spanish unity rally we spoke to the castle and spokeswoman for the european partnership for independence she joined us from one of the independence protests in the castle on capitol. hill you see there were a graphic showing. how can you do it. if. you. don't. know. how rape it's very good for you for this day to. make believe that they are the ones. when i was bringing in nevada and i know who you are i mean and you know

just imagine when. they. do why you know our names our national trait is. that they promote the south so many nations i'm did you mean by some rights in that i don't get to me. and my little guy. or sister shuttle are to america has been given until monday to register as a foreign agent in the united states that's on the orders of the u.s. justice department now as far as the america fails to do so it's bank accounts could be frozen the order was made under legislation adopted more than seventy years ago before the second world war that was put in place the kelso not the counter nazi propaganda and i did a caution over looks at the reaction to the move. we are a news channel but at the moment we are in fact is the news the mounting pressure on r.t. as this week cominius it and an ultimatum sent to us by the us 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 art he's editor in chief of the channel is being forced into conditions in wish 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 its contract 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 headed by those and among them are c.n.n. and voice of america radio liberty and its korean time television channel but the

crackdown on r t n the u.s. poses some very uncomfortable questions. 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 of here to buy them there's no democracy without freedom of speech and attack on our media in the us is make no mistake an attack on freedom of speech itself. the pressure has been mounting on our heads he 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 a town to sell i fell alternative. of the u.s. navy's been swept up in a massive corruption scandal affecting scores of hard ranking officers plus the outcome of the police and trouble meeting in vietnam one after you've got a short break don't go anywhere.

one hundred years ago russia was consumed by revolution and unprecedented violence is not an understatement to say the russian revolution or falsity could i call it was a defining moment of the twentieth century how did it change russian. welcome

back to the program now u.s. president donald trump has said better relations with russia would be key to solving world crises like syria and north korea speaking a day after that apec summit in vietnam we have to get to work to solve syria just north korea to solve ukraine to solve terrorism and i feel that having russia in a friendly part 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. our formal meeting between the russian and u.s.

presidents has been highly anticipated though it never actually happened partly due to sharing problems nevertheless the two leaders did briefly catch up on the summit sidelines and released a joint statement on the situation in syria. they both confirm their determination to defeat as mick states the president's also agreed there can be no military solution to the syrian conflict that had a final political settlement should be found through the geneva talks format and also stressed syria is still a sovereign country however putin trumps common views on those issues were immediately causing a spy backlash your boss john brennan claimed trump was intimidated by the russian president former intelligence chief james clapper dubbed the friend in this naive and even a threat to the united states think it's very naive and again for a pearl was to this country to make an assumption that russia is going to be

with. the best interest of the world or the united states of mind following his meeting with putin trump took to twitter to address his critics he underscored that russia's help is necessary in resolving many of the world's conflicts. when will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with russia is a good thing not a bad thing they're always playing politics bad for our country i want to solve north korea syria ukraine terrorism and russia can greatly help. flannigan president that flanagan consulting i'll see former congressman believes that the u.s. president's opponent saw desperate to find fault with his overseas tour i think the agenda is that brennan particularly is a d.n.c. guy easy is not a professional intelligence guy he's a d.n.c. guy was put in the job and they he has a desire to see the democratic national committee succeed and if trump succeeds

they can't it's a zero sum game for them and so i when these things come up they talk about oh trump is wrong trump is naive trump is bad on these things and they use and they burnish their credentials to try and make their point there they are finding it recently at least that they have fewer and fewer people standing next to them going yeah they're right those these two are pretty much alone now saying these sorts of things because we cannot go on with our minute anime's around the globe as these two apparently want us to have and having a permanent enemy of the russians is insane and i don't think trump is interested in doing that as a deal maker he wants to wants to proceed successfully in the world wants the world to proceed successfully and look at his goals it's not territorial ambition it's not making money for the clinton foundation it's solving the crises in syria in ukraine in north korea and elsewhere and doing it with not only with russian cooperation. on other news colossal bribery and fraud has engulfed the u.s. navy that's according at least to prosecutors in the so-called lead case have now

revealed the true extent of the scandal now the initial inquiry took place more than four years ago when twenty eight personality two admirals at the time were indicted but now it's transpired four hundred forty maybe under investigation including over sixty admirals and schools of offices all of them suspected of sharing secret information in return for bribes such as alcohol and prostitutes the identities of the majority of people implicated being withheld 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 now these are revelations are being described as the worst corruption scandal in u.s. navy history yet some a surprise that handing over classified information to a foreigner is being treated as ford caleb moore more has. 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 isn't called bribery it's called espionage why is the espionage act not being applied to corrupt 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 get out of where he worked yeah we were at 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 were did

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 train military secrets for sex and cash well it looks like the stiff penalties just don't apply killam oppen are seeing new york. in other news hundreds of moral can football fans have clashed with police in brussels following that country's qualification for next year's world cup in russia . my my god celebrations turned violent when russia police fired water cannons at the

crowds in an attempt to bring them on the control police claim twenty two officers were injured what a number of cars were also torched in those clashes. on his last leg of his asian tour donald trump landed in the philippines on sunday but he didn't get the warmest of welcomes on the capital streets. ah. hundreds of people descended on the u.s. embassy in manila to protest against his visit so does the u.s. flags and shows an anti trump slogan police used to push the crowd back. from me for no more any of our stories remember on a website called all of course on our social media back with you again the next half an hour see that.

we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone else signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people that was nuclear biological and chemical products the said do not the truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the berm pits would really literally send

a be a probe and they don't want to pay it so the wady in decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. called relevant to the middle finger to be used to model is. delayed and i hope you don't . 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 increase the risk of war that's the big danger here this is not just about killing in the video this is automatically putting the united states on a force a military confrontation. with. the moffett. so. please. yes so and this is how the good.

old son. wants. to see. i think. if they are not in favor of it coming. to the border of. other side i think it came the old impression of confrontation that's

a mistake of the west especially by the americans also on the. bone. seventeen. society on. the other countries followed russia's example. the recipe for universal happiness

remains if you sit. still searching to this day. can we even remember the events of a century ago and if so why is that we went out in search of people who view russia's nine hundred seventeen revolution as a global event. first of all we went to visit a leftwing ideologist and famous french philosopher. so i was all surprised

maybe it's not a surprise at all if your books focused on the loss of teeth. and. it's difficult for me to address. the world as you idiot but take up a pretty cheeky feet as if to post yeah. your post gone to the net imo not required but a little present in a push to be did you know you do do you know how to. do many deed to preclude. good use it. tell me if i am that. yemeni keith. ok fahey foot off the menu when you have that if you have a minute i thought or a phony display that. lesser dating is both a committed communist and
