from in the team here. last i want to embrace two pm on tuesday news for this hour first off humanitarian organizations demanding answers after an alleged saudi led coalition air strike on a wedding party killed at least twenty people in yemen dozens more were injured it's feared the casualty figures are even high up with some reports saying that as many as fifty people may have died please be aware that the video that we're about to show you is distressing to watch. i don't know how and if you can see a small child clinging to a body of reports that it's the boy's father it's also said the family were not local and the traveled a long way to attend that wedding many other people also lost their lives during what was supposed to be a celebration. this

is my nephew who was injured last night by the airstrike he's two brothers who were killed. we contacted a number of humanitarian organizations to get that thoughts on what happened here in rights watch said the coalition continues to target civilians and refuses to adequately investigate or compensate the victims adding that civilians are a constant casualty of the conflict there was a shin also stressed that countries should work together to minimize harm to civilians oxfam condemned the attack calling for an investigation to be carried out and as for the saudi led coalition a spokesman that says they are taking the reports very seriously and will look into it. the coalition intervened in yemen almost three years ago to fight who three rebels now considers them terrorists who oppose the yemeni government which it

backs the conflict brought the country to what the u.n. describes as the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history a yemeni journalist told us that saudi planes targeted a nonmilitary area not for the first time i visited a place. where the. top least their. very far away from any military positions. i met with the people there talk to me they've told me that they have heard the word pleas holding over their wedding. different times but suddenly the media and expect that these saudi arabia's fighter jets would target a wedding that time it's not the first of its kind to take place since the beginning of the saudi led coalition's war in yemen in order to drive out the disquiet the rebels from the areas that have already taken control. of the twenty fourteen. b.

the situation continues to fall the deteriorating. british government has branded a number of online activists russian stooges who are doing the kremlin's bidding now to online personalities in particular have been singled out over allegations that they're not even real people but rather automated accounts run by moscow also known as russian bought according to u.k. government analysis their accounts grew popularity after skeptical posts on the soldiers report an attack and for their views on a recent chemical attack in syria being falsified one of the supposed bought spoke out on british t.v. you have consistently and prolifically taken an anti british standpoint. one sense it made. me. feel just. a little bit. that's ian he's

a political activist who often challenges western views on twitter and he said accusations that he's a russian a total fabrication here's the other account that caught the eye of the british authorities it belongs to a well known australian blogger syrian descent and the u.k. government accused her of being a russian bot over her post on the script poisoning she made the point of proving that she is in fact a human being and in case you needed any more proof i talk face to face with a look real to me you're sure you're not a russian bot. last time i checked it's only real human being. you know. the british government they can't even confirm that i'm not an automaton how can we believe anything they have to see about the evidence they have who are scruple and syria's chemical attacks the u.k. government argues that one reason to doubt you is being a real activists is that the number of posts that you wrote or repos did more than two thousand tweets in just twelve days and that's around two hundred posts a day where did you find the time to do all that how can you explain that large

number. well there i can spin it because the number is in fact full so i took my analytics and i've only posted nine hundred tweets in thirty days it wasn't just me and it wasn't just in who you just heard recorded from sky news it was actually a coordinated attack against a bunch of academics activists including vanessa dealey tim as a professor as well anyone who is basically coming up against the mainstream media lies and the u.k. government lies the lies that they are using to start wars overseas and to basically intimidate russia the united nations particularly the war in syria and the chemical attack bogus claims that the u.k. government are making the same as the budget the us does here they used in the iraq war and you know the interesting thing is that these attacks all happened within the frame of two days you had the b.b.c. coming out against vanessa dealey that the sunday times coming out against these

academics so it's clearly a smear campaign to try to intimidate people into silence and to try to smear anti-war activists a somewhat of a biased voice you know related to russia so i expect things to get worse and i know seen the censorship i mean i have been shut down my facebook account has been shut down they've tried to shut down my youtube account so i'm not sure how long i'll going to be staying online but i'm going to continue as as long as i can. president trump's pick for secretary of state has been given the green light cia director mike pompei i was now one step closer to becoming america's top diplomat but it candidacy sparked heated exchanges in the senate unfortunately i do not believe director pumper or someone who will always prioritize diplomacy over conflict i can't imagine having someone more qualified. be secretary of state it's critically important that the secretary of state be an independent voice in the white house i'm concerned about that he will be speaking for the president when

he travels and he's the appropriate person for that i think is not the right person for this position what nominee would you vote yes for i don't want to vote for people who are in tight diplomatic to be the nation's chief diplomat however the vote was swayed when a key republican voted in favor of my pump senator rand paul who originally opposed the bio's candidacy said he was persuaded by donald trump himself i have changed my mind i decided to go and vote for director pump because he's assured me that he's learned a lesson senator paul had been a staunch critic of the stones but it seems the future secretary of state is in full harmony with the president thanks to trump foreign policy and ideas of american exceptionalism. if we embrace the regime change in other nations we can hardly say but this is something that only the us gets to do this is a this is a unique exceptional country russia is unique but not exceptional.

i can't think of a thing that has put america in a better position as a result of this deal. a very real danger. i hardly ever escape a day in the white house without the president asking me about north korea and how it is that the united states is responding to that threat it's very much at the top of his mind they are ever closer to having the capacity to hold america risk with a nuclear weapon at the overall level it is that it's a very bad sign that keeps surrounding himself with with right wing inner hawks on foreign policy and now we have. a secretary of state who is not known for being a diplomat is no one to be a hawk on foreign policy and he doesn't come from a diplomatic background he comes you know for a with more militaristic background he his policies and

statements said that he said advocated have been very hawkish so this is you know this is very ominous actually. so as you heard they're known for his hawkish stance mike pompei was now going to be part of the trumpet ministration many are now questioning the future of u.s. foreign policy almost two weeks ago cause america the u.k. and france in almost strikes on syria the us part in that was covered by legislation known as the authorization for use of military force against terrorist activity takes a closer look at the legislation behind america's military action overseas. military aggression is seemingly always on the table when it comes to the u.s. but the legality of it is questionable one document that gives the american president expansive war powers is the authorization for the use of military force or. the president is authorized to use all necessary force against those nations organizations or persons he determines planned authorized committed or aided the

terrorist attacks that occurred on september eleventh two thousand and one in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the us by such nations organizations or persons ever since the past american presidents have used it's extremely broad wording for involving the u.s. and conflicts worldwide including donald trump when the u.s. shut down the syrian government bomber washington said gave it the right to combat i saw in the country but given that islamic state didn't officially declare its caliphate until more than a decade after an eleven doesn't really fit the bill when it comes to illegal military action it was really dealing with a situation which no longer applies it was very specific in many respects about identifying the causes of the made for the air you have and the targets to be retaliated against three years senators have been concerned about how open ended the military authorization is and some are saying enough is enough for too long and

congress has given presidents a blank check to wage war we've let the nine eleven in iraq war authorizations get stretched to justify wars against multiple terrorist groups in over a dozen. from the jet to the philippines a proposal finally repeals those authorizations and makes congress do its job by weighing in on where when and with who we were at war with the document already eighteen years old son going off to fight might not have been born when it was written however the new version appears even more all encompassing than the original right off the bat it authorizes the president to wage war against a list of groups and a number of countries plus so-called associated forces if the president determines other groups a threat and linked to previously named enemies they can be targeted to all the president has to do is notify congress of the updated hitlist yes theoretically congress can still vote that down but there's little chance of a majority going against the president if the new a your math proposal is

insufficiently precise it's very very the us presidency and the congress so basically given themselves the authority. to be loosely interpreted to do more is what it was really like the question is how that would stand up under international law the president has already found a way around such as i know you have by using constitutional means to retaliate against threats as he did with in syria just recently. when people have been killed and fifteen injured when a van plowed into pedestrians in the canadian city of toronto the reasons behind the incident are still being investigated.

there was a man lying in the road hit by a car his shoes were one hundred feet away up the road. he started going down the sidewalk and knocking people down one by one. we have passed multiple dead bodies covering up she was endeavoring the road. he just destroyed so many people's lives every single thing that got in his way the suspects been identified as twenty five year old alec monastic who lived in a nearby town he was arrested by police following a standoff and currently being questioned with a motive for the attack still being investigated authorities say the suspect was not previously known to police here's how some of the witnesses to the attack describe what happened. the man was walking through the intersection and young encountered it was just one of the middle of the intersection and the van just went right into one plowed right into it and then apparently he drove down further and he went on to the sidewalk by the next building and he hit more people there and just kept on i see no reason that i seen

a white van with film with red coloring on it and i always thought was that he smashed into someone over there he just went on the sidewalk he just started getting everybody man he had every single person on the sidewalk anybody in israel you would hit the bus stop everything was shattered there's a lady in there i saw i just stopped and i looked the night went after it again and i see this is crumbling up one by one and one by one person got dragged on and there blood is all over young empress is really bad haha and i'm so shaky i'm still dying from this i can't believe this is happening this is like unbelievable this is so unbelievable. i just you know it's not our son i saw here and i want to just go to find something wrong and not so many people to. stop the car not. just to give warning and it is time you fall and spring for life down there and you know. a toronto is also hosting a meeting of foreign ministers from the g seven group of the world's most advanced

economies russia again is top of that agenda with the british foreign secretary pushing for joint efforts against moscow what we decided was that we will going to sense a jew certain group that would look at russian malign behavior in all this money frustrations whether it's cyber war whether it's this information assassination attempts whatever it happens to be and collectively try and call it out johnson's proposal follows assertion by the u.k.'s defense minister who said the rusher is a growing threat and called for capabilities to deal with that russia analyst martin mccauley says prince wanting to take any action possible to back its accusations against russia and to save face. britain is in a difficult position no. because they have made accusations against russia niger garden script and also good evening do well and therefore you think don't do anything if they then just allow it to die way britain would be seen as very weak so that's why i think the british government. mulling over thinking about what good

did strike do. to incite punish russia the us is stepping up its ambitions in space but really is not keen on sharing the final frontier it's among our story still ahead after the break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop to try to tell you that stuff because of the public but. i think how you think he's pulling out.

all the hawks that we along the border will walk. three trades that have been wrong for five years one is the dollar is going to crash their goal is going to twenty five hundred. three the bond market's going to crash almost three trades and absolutely wrong for five years and they have taken many people out on a stretcher. welcome back the u.s. appears to be staking its claim in the stalls with washington making it clear that the final frontier is america's demand the u.s. forces even released a video on the dangers of other nations waging war in space. towers have a new focus for their impression their target space they don't have to dominate and

just. spoke to mccarran about what appears to be a new space race. the u.s. has just unveiled its latest plan to fix sensors to its satellites and it's not just its own satellites it's going to be doing that it's also its allies satellites and satellites kafer communication navigation and intelligence that in these days especially in the scenario of war and the fear all reasoning is that potential adverse to reserve the u.s. may be capable of hacking or even disabling these satellites by sharing that situational data with its allies the idea is that this will deter any potential attacks and it really is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to spending in space because in case you weren't aware space warfare is the big defense trend right now is the new black and if you don't want to take my word for it here's the four secretary i cannot think of

a military action does not depend on space russia and china are developing capabilities to disable our satellites but it seems like the big incentive for such a focus seems to be the capabilities of these potential adverse stories with their own space programs of course it's china and russia and there's this idea of a space war being promoted as something not to distinguishable from a video game see if you can spot the difference between the actual air force space come on promo video and a video game united states air force has owned this high ground space for dating other nations other air forces only dream of making such a claim but what if their dream became reality never expects something trust to turn against you. millions feel the effects. airports infrastructure. scale it. will compete and will win. i'm pretty lucky to keep up the other

structures on the screen there because i would have been able to distinguish between a video game and what is now reality by. us or force what's the big grand plan here well that pouring billions into this new space technology roping in space with kids in space that long must ensure that he can not only deliver he can do it quickly you know no need to wait around years and years for a prototype any longer and while the jamming of satellites is one concern and the question now is you know when are we going to see or how long is it before we see actual physical attacks in outer space and some reports say this is already a possibility in fact speaking in february the u.s. air force chief of staff said that it was just a matter of years before we're going to see american forces fighting from space now regardless of whether this is the case or not the u.s. is definitely determined to be a leader in this field the curator of war for has changed vision

a constellation of man our satellites always the predator never the prey and in his own inimitable way the president of the united states also expressed his excitement at the militarization of space space is a war fighting domain name just like the air and sea. we may even have a space force develop another one space course with the air force one of the space schools we have the army the navy as soon as things seem to be steaming ahead to record speed here and you know people might be wondering why the law is all resolutions to draw a line and you know how far people can take based the whole space was idea well actually there is almost a decade ago there were one hundred seventy eight countries that voted on a un resolution to prevent a space arms race there were only two countries that abstained was the u.s.

and israel also washington blocked a joint russian chinese effort to ban all weapons in space so perhaps an inkling that almost a decade ago that the u.s. had designs on the militarization of space then was perhaps already as you said staking its claim to the stars. just over fifty days before the free for world cup twenty eight kicks off in russia after the star studded team is traveling nationwide checking out the preparations for the biggest sporting event of the year i should be goalkeeper peter schmeichel has been to you catherine back for the show as on wednesday here's a quick preview. this is the arena and it's one of the most extraordinary venues to hold world cup matches just on the. now i'm going to use my own gold.

performance a little bit like google play as a professional athlete. about you also news for this hour i'll be back in thirty five minutes with the next global update see the.

you know. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub you can walk into excitement it's that not knowing that's where the adrenalin much comes from. and you can easily move by definition and the extremes who will support. the violence is

a part and it's almost a schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave badly. important people of course colorful all. of us both more so for the last. undismayed and infirm for a while and didn't follow in the start. of a broader when the fight broke out really did a poll down down went up with. meaning in these images that at least if you don't involve these constantly evolving in. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill feels to miss it. like you know. this isn't my cup of tea is going up up the study hall maybe you know john without

a doubt nobody should be the only palestinians who gets the most help from his to roost on counterparts i don't think there is another those who in there were under the oak vision to know only because it is. and know it is all of us not just you had this lady of the mossad that you had i don't want you to compete in the doesn't seem to do more among us lost their them could result. 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 saying stuff that was nukes or biological and chemical products the said do not 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 burn pits would really literally send a v.a. growth and they don't want to pay it so the wady and decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. call for help and get the middle finger the movie is to model is. delayed and i hope you don't. hello i'm mary skies are home. cars are. this is the car's a report kaiser report kaiser you know sometimes i hear the doppler effect i don't

know what that's all about we won't go there but we're going to talk about some good news first but that good news is actually leading alternately to bad news as a bad news on the back of the good news but we're going to start with the good news first and here's some good news for our gold bugs out there because i know they have been kind of sadder you know morose these last few years as gold is like traded within a tight range for four or five years doing nothing while bitcoins stolen all its glory well it could be back to bitcoin like days soon bond king jeff gold lock says gold could rally a thousand dollars of course bill gross is the bond king but this guy also now goes by the boss. but the c.e.o. of double line also known as the bond king is once again attracting the attention of gold investors as he sees a yellow metal at a critical juncture quote we see a massive base building in gold massive as a four year five year base in gold if we break above this resistance line one can

expect gold to go up by like thousand dollars he said during the twenty eighteen economic strategic investment conference according to a recent recap from steve blumenthal chief investment officer at c.m.g. that would take it up to twenty four or twenty five hundred dollars an ounce and i saw that he jeff was reading up with peter peter schiff just a few months ago they had lunch jeff house in los angeles they're talking big old things there yes peter schiff he likes is a gold cufflinks he wears those a lot oh as men may go i you know i order somebody say that they saw peter schiff on. a cruise recently trying to sell his twenty four carat gold cough lengths to people on the cruise so he really is a personification of always be closing peter never stops selling he never stops closing that's and makes a great promise you something.
