involved in the. show the aftermath of an alleged saudi coalition air strike on a wedding party many of the dead children. described as kremlin controlled. decides to real life activists. because of that anti establishment post. in the british government if they can't even confirm. anything they have to see about if it is the. school and syria's chemical attacks. had to go and vote for director. for secretary of state narrowly avoided rejection from the senate foreign relations committee. is now just one step away from becoming america's top diplomat.

either through. welcome news from international first to the middle east humanitarian organizations are 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 fair that the casualty figures are even higher with some reports saying that as many as fifty people may have died now please be aware that the video that we're about to show you is distressing to watch. and you can see a seven year old boy clinging to what's believed to be his father's body and they reportedly traveled from another part of the country to attend the celebrations it was reported to the last body to be taken away following the airstrike as the boy refused to let go.

we contacted a number of human rights groups to get their thoughts on what happened human rights watch said that the coalition is continuing to target civilians refuses to adequately investigate the attacks and doesn't compensate the victims oxfam in its response called for an investigation into what it describes as human rights violations as for the saudi led coalition meanwhile here's what they had to say about sunday's asterix in the claims against them this is what we got from a spokesman it says they're taking the report very seriously that they will fully investigate all incidents of this nature. i was the bridegroom our friends gathered in our place and were hit by a near strake many instant people were killed and injured.

this is my nephew who was injured last night by the air strike his two brothers were killed. the coalition intervened in yemen almost three years ago to fight who the rebels riyadh considers them terrorists who oppose the yemeni government which it backed the conflict brought the country to war the un describes as the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history yemeni journalist told us that saudi planes targeted a nonmilitary area not for the first time i visited a place inside a band where they were who are willing to talk place there this area. is very far away from any military positions i met with the people there the talk to me they've told me that they have heard the word please hovering over their wedding. and different times but suddenly they have the hair he didn't expect that the saudi

arabians fighter jets would target their wedding at that time it's not the first of its kind to take place since the beginning of the saudi little quality and war in yemen in order to drive out what they describe the rebels from the areas they have already to take in control. of the twenty fourteen. b. this situation continues to do for the deteriorate. the british government has branded a number of online activists russian stooges who are doing the kremlin's bidding to online personalities in particular. been singled out over allegations of the not even real people but rather automated accounts run by moscow also known as russian bots according to u.k. government analysis their accounts grow in popularity after skeptical posts on the solve bring poison attack and for their views on a recent chemical attack in syria being falsified one of the supposed bots spoke out on british t.v. you have consistently and prolifically taken an anti british standpoint

question what does it mean by. all. this is me. or does it mean that. this little bit. of political activists who often challenges western views on twitter he says accusations that he's a russian bot are a total fabrication is the other account that called the eye of the british authorities it belongs to a well known australian blogger of syria descent when the u.k. government accused her of being a russian bot over her posts on the screwball poisoning he made the point of proving that she is in fact a human being and in case you needed any more proof i talked 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 ian 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 this 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 bewley 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 trying to pick for secretary of state has been given the green light cia director by compare is now one step closer to becoming america's top diplomat but his candidacy sparked heated exchanges in the senate and for two i do not believe

director proper 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 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 anti 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 proposed candidacy says he was persuaded by none other than 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 the lesson. senator pole had been a staunch critic of pump but it seems the future secretary of state is in full

harmony with the president thanks to trump's 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 very bad sign that trump keeps surrounding himself with with right wing 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. known for his bellicose politics is now likely to become part of the trumpet ministration of many now questioning the future of u.s. foreign policy almost two weeks ago of course america the u.k. and france launch strikes on syria the us part in that was covered by legislation known as the authorization for use of military force against terrorists jacqueline bouvier 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 us 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 its 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 nine eleven does that really fit the bill when it comes to legal military action but it was really dealing with

a situation which no longer applies it was very specific in many respects about identifying the causes of the need for the i.m.f. 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 congress has given presidents a blank check to wage war we've let the nine eleven and iraq war authorizations get stretched to justify wars against multiple terrorist groups in over a dozen countries from me jed 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 are threat and linked to previously named enemies they can be targeted to all the president has to do is notify congress on the updated hit list yes theoretically congress can still vote that down but there's a little chance of a majority going against the president if the you say your math proposal is insufficiently precise it's very. clear to congress so basically giving themselves the authority. to be loosely interpreted can do whatever they like the place to do now 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 was in syria just raised by. ten people have been killed and fifteen injured when a van plowed into pedestrians and 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. have passed multiple dead bodies covered up she was endeavoring the road. he just destroyed so many people's lives every single thing that got in his way. police are currently questioning a suspect twenty five year old alec massey and was arrested following a standoff and he's doing court in a couple of hours from now the authorities say the suspect was not previously known to police and so some of the witnesses describe what happened the man was walking

through the intersection a young encounter it was just one of the middle of the intersection and the van just went right into him plowed right into it and then apparently he drove down further and he went on to the sidewalk by the next building and he had more people there and just kept on. the scene of 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 shooting everybody man he hit 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 crumbling up one by one and one by one. 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 see and i saw here now what you're just

going to find on so many people just. stop the car not. just give and give some people and straight people like down here and david. was also hosting a meeting of foreign ministers from the g seven group of the world's most advanced economies russia again is top of the agenda with the british foreign secretary pushing for joint efforts against moscow. what we decided was that we were going to set up a g seven 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 about initiative follows on from an assertion by the u.k.'s defense secretary outlining russia as a serious threat and he described moscow as more dangerous than any insurgency in iraq or afghanistan and call for capabilities to deal with that russia at least malta mccauley says britain is willing to take any action possible to back its

accusations against russia at the same fate. britain is in a difficult position now. because they have made accusations against russia that regardless repelled and also do well and therefore you think don't do anything you think then just allow it to die away britain would be seen as very weak for i think the british government. taking about what could they do. during. russia. you know without say the united states is stepping up its ambitions in space but really isn't too keen on sharing the final frontier among all story still ahead when we come back.

the fight for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each of. us and spending twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great chance for. us this morning.

the united states appears to be staking its claim to the stars with washington making it quite clear that the final frontier is america's domain the us air force has even released a video on the dangers of other nations waging war in space. the vision is the world powers have a new focus for their aggression their target speeds they don't have to dominate it just struck. correspondent karen takes a look at what appears to be a new space race on raveling military defense hollywood style the united states air force has opened its high ground of space for day to 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 to be facts. airports

infrastructure. so. full scale that. will compete and will when. the u.s. has unveiled its latest splurge in space with a plan to step up security on its satellites not just its own those of its allies to the concern is that potential adverse stories may be capable of hacking or disabling the satellites we were watching hardware as we know is crucial to communication navigation and intelligence gathering all things that would be crucial in the advent of war and it's hope that by sharing this information with its allies that would deter any potential attacks but it's just the tip of the iceberg because space warfare is the big defense trend right now which the new black don't take my word for it i ask the u.s. top brass of the air force i cannot think of the military action does not depend on

space right. in china are developing capabilities to disable our satellites as the u.s. things ahead with its space the odyssey it's pouring in billions and roping in the likes of space x. is a long muskrats proven he can not only deliver but he brings the goods fast but will the jamming of satellites is one thing the question now is how long will it be before we see actual physical attacks in space well some think it's just a matter of time before american forces find themselves fighting from space we're going to say whether this is the case or not one thing's for sure the u.s. is determined to remain a leader in this field the curator of war for has changed we invasion a constellation of man our satellites always the predator never the pre and one person on able to contain his excitement is the u.s. president space is a war fighting drama you just like to learn. and see

we may even have a space force develop another one space force with the air force one of the space schools we have the army the navy now you might think there's no no war regulation on taking things a step too far in space but in fact there is almost a decade ago one hundred seventy eight countries voted on a 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 so perhaps an inkling that the u.s. has long been planning on staking its claim to the stars. just over fifty days before the fee for world cup kicks off in russia are two star studded tables traveling nationwide checking out the preparations for the biggest sporting event of the year a degree goalkeeper peter schmeichel has been seven hundred kilometers east of moscow in your bathroom but as for reporters here on wednesday but here's a quick taste of what's to come.

this is their arena and it's one of the most extraordinary venues to oppose world cup matches this. now i'm going to use my old gold. so i could perform as a little bit like a football player as a professional athlete.

and that's more where that came from tomorrow that's it for now though thanks for watching money's called in by i'll have your next global update from altie international about thirty five minutes time to see them. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goal peoples of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to put me to eighty percent of the beach but i'll be with you and you'll see all the all the great britain. get

you out of the rock at the back nobody gets busted you we need you to get the best go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one come on top of. me to just say the radio theology team's latest edition to make up as we go so i need to just say look. what politicians do sometimes you can. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some will want to be rich. to go on to be the press was like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. first sit.

global war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce offspring to tell you that it's not because of the public but styles of the most important news today. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough and let's buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one. it was our summers and i built tiny houses for the homeless. six years back and they are here why do these guys now for me a tiny house is not a solution it will be a free for. this nice safe conditions to live in. to suit his opponent

ran into the city of los angeles. always good terrorist. nobody should be homeless anywhere but especially in one of the richest countries in the world. i build everything with stories because i make a lot of mistakes. and it's easy to back out your mistakes in compton south central l.a. a pint sized idea as well this summer as in a battle with city off already so when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle. the mayor of los angeles has declared the city is in the midst of

a homelessness crisis. overseas trying to solve it one tiny house at a time the tiny house idea is very simple it's shelter. food water and shelter are not optional they're required for human survival so it's a. temporary solution and like the first stone a foundation if you will to helping people who are homeless. according to elvis these cheap and portable tiny homes are meant to be on the streets of l.a. . and they need to fix. but right now they're not moving anywhere because city authorities banned them so they used to belong to somebody yeah yeah. and now they're being used no now they've been sitting here for a better part of a year collecting dust. and people are you know struggling and suffering. so yeah

it's really sad i mean it's you know this is human life here you know. los angeles authorities have accused his tiny homes of threatening public safety but elvis has seen the tiny house movement go viral online with support coming from right across the world so with the help of internet crowdfunding he's going rogue once completed they all have a new carbon pad. alarms on the windows i put the vents these holes in the top it's really hot summer here so that way the heat will rise and go out in the city of angels elvis isn't considered one by the powers that be. but to the homeless he's one of the few struggling to get them off the streets i don't quit and i don't give up and i definitely don't bow down to bullies people need shelter now if i have to build a tiny house for every last person until i'm five hundred years old then that's

what i'm going to do. well this is building this next house for a woman who braved. a few people that live. ravens living on the top next to a freeway. from say. the situation much worse than when. this is already on a service. raven's been on and off the streets most of her life. yeah sure after fleeing violent home when she was just so. she once had a time.
