obviously whoever made them had outside help help from someone very experienced and vladimir putin says this technology could now be extorted out of syria and provoke a coup there were provoke a target play there but see it wasn't the turks we know who they are as regard the attacks themselves we have no doubt they'd been well prepared beforehand those drones were made to look makeshift but in actual fact they clearly contain high tech elements that couldn't possibly have been assembled on the ground in syria more details are expected as these drones are further examined and hopefully we'll hear about those behind them in the coming weeks. a video has surfaced online allegedly showing a u.s. service member taking a shot at a passing truck in afghanistan incident was seen among a number of clips edited together which were uploaded and later deleted by an anonymous user this helmet camera footage shows a person firing from a military vehicle at the cab of

a truck it was passing it's certainly not known whether anybody was injured if confirmed though the action might violate military rules of engagement as well as hamper the u.s. afghan alliance but it is believed to have been filmed at last year during an. eastern afghan province a security expert charles shubert thinks the bigger picture should be considered to make a judgment on the case. of course you have to look at what the context of this is this isn't to defend what's happened here it appears indefensible but this is a nine second clip and we have to acknowledge that we don't know what happened before this video clip and we don't know what happened afterwards and maybe conceivably for example this truck perhaps even inadvertently went through a checkpoint for example and this is one way to bring that vehicle to a halt certainly on the face of it it appears to be just a very casual disregard of the feelings and indeed the safety of people involved in countries such as afghanistan and from a technical perspective when you slow down the video here you can see that it's

very likely that this was a shock and it was being used and it was being used to fire up quite probably non-lethal rounds that's to say. like rubber pellets or plastic pellets something like that but nonetheless extremely dangerous and extremely foolhardy to undertake it would be useless if that against taliban or isis attacking them that suggests of course that this ammunition has been loaded into this weapon specifically to target vehicles and afghans in this way and that in turn might suggest that this is far more common occurrence than this one video would suggest for propaganda purposes this is a gift to isis the taliban and so on who which say that actually americans are their oppressive conquerors and occupiers and don't have the interests of their local population at heart in response to our request the u.s. central command confirmed that investigations underway although it's only in its early stages they said they're concerned by the video but it's not representative

of the professionalism of the u.s. soldiers. iraqi security services are forcing refugees to leave camps and return to their homes that's the spike them being in unsafe areas that according at least to a new report by the un refugee agency says more than thirteen thousand families have been forced back to dangerous zones those who returned face the whole host of problems from tribal conflicts to booby traps left by fleeing islamic state fighters the report also says at least fourteen people have been killed as a result of those forced returns we spoke to refugees in a camp about their fears of going back home. we moved to this camp three years ago we don't want to return to our home yet we're

afraid of tribes our houses are destroyed we have no place to live the fields with it houses a looted even the wise are torn out of the walls and there's lots of booby traps five days ago our neighbors there started to find a warm some water something went off and now they kids are in hospital he's so scary. that there are very few people from a village who returned home there's nothing left there no electricity in the water supply doesn't work we may return in the future but only when the area will be suitable for living. the level of destruction in most of the areas which were which were of the isis control and following the ability to open issues have witnessed heavy destruction homes demolished. where the basic

services are not functioning water electricity costs or at least with the very basic supply very major risk is the unexploded ordinance is the improvised explosive devices that could have been put by isis or any other or any other group involved in the into the fighting but the key danger is the fear of people being attacked by. sleeping isis others. people who are affiliated with isis. now the iraqi prime minister has denied refugees are being forced to return to unsafe areas he says it's misinformation spread by his political rivals. there's allegedly a rift between two of the biggest organizations in the world of sports the

international olympic committee and the world anti-doping agency leaked e-mails suggest american officials were seeking waters independence from the limbic chiefs so they could you laterally apply sanctions or are to discuss the matter with my colleague mickey aaron. well these emails leaked by the fancy bears hacking group allegedly from officials in the i.o.c. seem to show incredibly high tensions between international olympic committee officials and wada and by extension also richard mclaren whose reports on alleged doping across russian sport started all this back in two thousand and sixteen of course so where is the blood coming from between these two organizations well according to the emails it looks like wada is pushing back against the i.o.c. reportedly was one point was actually making attempts to withdraw from i.o.c. jurisdiction mean they could both test and punish athletes that they found to be guilty of any sort of doping violations and apparently the i.o.c. was strongly against the idea of water become becoming jury judge and executioner

on that front and an email about a meeting where such a move was discussed detailed mistrust and tension aimed at i.o.c. members now we see that according to one of the leaked emails i.o.c. officials even accused mcclaren of lying about the level of communication between the two organizations as well is that correct yes there's another email from the i.o.c. is director general to richard mclaren reportedly showing that the i.o.c. has been baffled by statements that mclaren was making to the press saying that the i.o.c. leadership had never gotten in touch with him and according to the i.o.c. that's one hundred percent false they claim to have reached out to a number of times offering assistance and further cooperation with him and if that is true that those statements to the press were completely false the question becomes why would mclaren be making statements such as that if they're not true what was the motivation behind such a lie that was talked about the i.o.c. was talking about what they were talking about mclaren i'm going to assume russia comes into this somewhere yes that's one of the really interesting bits according

to an e-mail allegedly written by i.o.c. officials in response to mclaren's reports they believe that those reports have a very very specific aim let's take a listen to an excerpt. a further problem was created by your report seemingly being used to try and justify a total ban on the complete russian olympic team from the rio games in the chuang games when in fact the international olympic committee and the international sports federations were simply not of the view that a collective punishment should be or should have been imposed upon all russian athletes so there we have the i.o.c. concluding that the mclaren reports goal was to achieve a blanket ban against the russian team and that the e-mail goes on to say that that was something specifically that the i.o.c. was against that they wanted to be able to go after individual athletes found to have been using doping but want to force them into a corner and put them on the path of getting the blanket bans and then also further lamented the lack of cooperation between the two are going to say sions and it really shows

a pair of potentially disturbing divide between those two huge anti-doping organizations such a complicated story isn't it but luckily we have an expert in the studio with us as alan moore sports radio host at moscow's capital f.m. thanks for coming in i mean one shed some more light on this convoluted story does this suggest that there's something of a rift between want and the i.o.c. to be appointed to do it is kind of like a devoid in the doping world we call the anti doping business because it is big business are huge money you know you have water which overseas are supposed to go overseas or anti doping efforts in sports in the world and on the other side then you've got this new kind of breakaway group. who which is led by the nose by you saw that which do you assign to doping water will take over you'll see actors. and us olympic committee they were going to take over water through the back door take over in one of the e-mails that i was discussing earlier the i.o.c. official allegedly cast doubt on the clearance intentions saying his reports were

meant to achieve a total blanket ban on russia why would he be interested in something like that do you think i don't think he had any modeless or a bad intent. try to take like you know to to rubbish russia put a lot of what he said including saying that there was state sponsored through and state into it russia was immediately guilty and he used that i mean after which he said well well you know it's just language but language as we know is very very powerful and that's what they use destroyed and is prevented by a blanket ban which the o.c. themselves didn't want back to fight against doping by five ten years because now everyone can get away with it and you see of where the russians are worse. german police have stopped the u.s. army convoy of trucks in the middle of a highway in east germany the vehicles were transporting six u.s. tanks from poland to germany police officers said the trucks didn't have the proper documentation and were overloaded vehicles are being prevented from continuing their journey until all mess of requirements are fulfilled the truck drivers as

well as the haulage company will now face fines. and some is it has seen a third consecutive day of violent protests since the first rally on monday hundreds of people have been arrested with one killed and around fifty injured. koat. when i witness in the third day of violent protests across china as they are now the protests started peacefully but since monday night they have taken a violent nature of the army and the police have accused protesters of attacking

government officials of trying to take up the shopping centers of blockading roads for example whereas the protesters in response have accused the security forces of using a heavy hand and conducting a heavy crackdown all of that is in response to the government's announcement at the beginning of january of the two thousand and eighteen budget plan and now this budget plan has seen a dramatic increase in taxes on basic goods so you have for example fuel increases you have tax hikes on food items and all of this is of course being met with fury and outrage on the streets of tunis at the same time we do witness some of the protests happening in another country also focused on the economic situation and that of course is in iran but there is a noticeable difference while there has been international outrage against the situation in iran and the way the government is dealing with it there when it comes to tunisia basically the international community is keeping mum so for example with

iran you had the french president not calling you had the head of the european union high commission and you had the american president donald trump basically calling for regime change here in tunis the same situation and yet we're hearing nothing from the international community and it might be because back in two thousand and eleven at the stop. art of the arab spring in tunisia was the first country to oust a dictator in a move that the western world widely hailed as democratic change but since then there have been no less than nine governments in place in tunisia and none of them have been able to get a grip on the economic situation there. now the u.s. president faces a friday deadline and whether to extend sanctions relief for iran as part of the twenty fifteen deal trumpets a vocal opponent of course of the nuclear agreement currently u.s. officials are suggesting new sanctions will be imposed i am expecting new sanctions

on iran we continue to look at them we've rolled them out and i think. you can expect there will be more sanctions coming the statements come on the same day as you officials gather in brussels to once again throw their backing behind the deal in a joint statement the block's top diplomats called on the u.s. to stick to the agreement. value of the pier way you can deal with iran the deal is working we want to. protect just if you were a white support for this deal make sure that the lifting of nuclear related sanctions has a positive impact on trade iran is in compliance with this agreement of the only agreement which prevents us for the proliferation of nuclear weapons it's crucial for the security of the region but also for the security of. the iran nuclear deal was signed in twenty fifteen with six other countries including the u.s.

it was reached after nine long years of negotiations as a result it ended a twelve year confrontation over the country's nuclear activities it was seen as a breakthrough at the time the us president though would go on to brand it the worst deal. we discussed the issue with politics professor so you had mohammad marandi and professor in international relations and middle east politics dr scheidt what we see at the moment we see a historic drift between the united states. and the e.u. we never ever seen such a gap such distance between the e.u. and the u.s. at least over the last thirty or forty years so what happened today in brussels was really interesting effectively every.
