are owing scenes from war stricken yet and show the aftermath of an alleged saudi coalition air strike on a wedding party which killed at least twenty people. were concerns of rising anti-semitism in germany with the chancellor highlighting an increase in arab migrants but that is going to stop berlin accepting ten thousand more refugees and . change my mind i decided to go and vote for director. donald trump's controversial nomination for u.s. secretary of state narrowly avoided historic rejection from the senate foreign relations committee. for here in moscow my name is called amber and this is the global news from r.t. international. humanitarian organizations are demanding answers over an alleged

saudi led coalition air strike on a wedding party in yemen the bombing killed at least twenty people and dozens more were injured some reports suggest that as many as fifty people were killed they were going to be showing you some video shortly but just be aware that it is rather distressing to watch the images themselves come from roughly video agency reportedly showing the aftermath of the strike a small seven year old child is seen clinging to a body there it's thought that it's the boy's father and it's believed that his family had traveled a long way to attend that wedding the man's body was reportedly the last to be taken away following the striker's the boy stayed with him until the end and many other people also lost their lives during what was supposed to be a celebration. i was the bridegroom knows our friends gathered in our place and were hit by an

airstrike many instant people were killed and injured. 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 for their responses human rights watch said the coalition continues to target civilians and refuses to adequately investigate or compensate victims oxfam we heard from them too they condemned the attack and called for an investigation meanwhile red says it's taking the report very seriously and will fully investigate as it has done in the past with similar incidents in the saudi led coalition intervened in yemen almost three years ago to fight who thought rebels riyadh considers them terrorists to oppose the yemeni government the un's describe the conflicts as the worst humanitarian crisis in

modern history a yemeni journalist told us that it's far from the first time saudi planes have targeted nonmilitary areas. i visited a place in where they were willing to talk least they're. 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 please hurry over their wedding. different times but suddenly the how the hell he didn't expect that the saudi arabians fighter jets would target a wedding at 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 describe the rebels from the areas they have already to you can control. after twenty fourteen. b. the situation continues to father deteriorate. president trumps pick for

secretary of state has been given the green light by the senate foreign relations committee and although cia director mike compares candidacy is likely to be approved by the full senate later this week his nomination has led to impassioned debate in washington. unfortunately i do not believe director promptly as someone who will always prioritize diplomacy over conflict i can't imagine having someone more qualified to 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 in tight diplomatic to be the nation's chief diplomat. pompei with approval by a committee which had been looking uncertain was secured by an intervention by the president himself senator rand paul who'd been opposed to the spy chief candidacy

said donald trump managed to win him around. 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 who's a libertarian has repeatedly criticized bellicose foreign policy positions but it seems donald trump and his pick for america's top diplomat are in full agreement about what america's role in the world should be. if we embrace the regime change in other nations we can hardly say but this is something that only the us gets it 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 that he said at the cape that have been very hawkish so this is you know this is very ominous actually. there are now concerns in some quarters about the direction my pump a.o.l. pushes country joins trying to help particularly in light of recent events almost

two weeks ago america the u.k. and france north strikes on syria washington justified the attack by saying it was covered by legislation known as the authorization will think use of force military force against terrorists can improve it takes a closer look at the legal grounds 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 maid 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 a very dozen countries for me 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 a document already eighteen years old some 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 hit list yes theoretically congress can still vote that down but there's little chance of a majority going against the president to be. a your proposal is insufficiently precise it's very very. rude to basically given themselves. to be loosely implemented to do more is what they really like the group to do now that would stand up and there is a national law the president is already way around such

a. value in constitutional means to retaliate against threats as he did with in syria just recently. the german chancellor has expressed her concern over a rise in anti semitism and they flatly laying the blame on an influx of arab migrants . noire we have a new phenomenon as we have many refuges among whom there are for example people of arab origin who bring in the other form of anti-semitism into the country unfortunately and to syria does not existed before that. germany is taking steps to tackle the issue with the appointment of a special commission of the jewish people by the countries again agreed to open its doors to ten thousand more migrants and is vowing to provide assistance to countries in the middle east and africa over the humanitarian crises the anti semitic concerns are shared by the country's central council of jews which is advising people to avoid wearing the cap are the traditional jewish headrest saying

that it could be dangerous. and other jewish community is facing similar problems in europe france is stressing that parts of the islamic holy book the qur'an dated and obsolete in reference to passages that mention the punishment of jews and the push for change in attitude is part of a manifesto and. the anti semitism proposed by prominent french politicians intellectuals and celebrities they signed a petition denouncing a quote quiet ethnic purging driven by a rising islam is radicalism among the signatories former french president nicolas sarkozy and his wife carla bruni actor gerard depardieu and former prime minister manual valves we demanded to fight against this democratic failure that is anti semitism becomes a national cause before it's too late. france has the largest jewish community in europe with over half a million. lists suggest that they faced an increase of twenty six percent in violent incidents in twenty seventeen and in many cases it's forcing people to leave france with anti semitism reportedly at worst in immigrant neighborhoods we

spoke to the president of the belgian league against anti semitism who believes we're seeing a worrying trend. it's not an issue for jews actually it's an issue for europe jews are the first target but when jews will fold the other will follow what is very new in this article is that they go to the core of the problem speaking about some verses some surats in the qur'an and calling for a to gain jews again christian against the nonbelievers and they ask to change this to make it actually to make it up so late that could be part of the solution it's not a fight between muslims and non muslims it's a fight between openness between tolerance on one side and on the other side you have darkness you have intolerance you have eight more and more people will think

that. they will be able to cue the play which is islamism with which is the far right they should keep in mind that you die of both. canadian police have been questioning a man suspected of planning advantage but has trained in toronto on monday killing ten people and injuring fifty more. 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. they 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. twenty five year old alec massey and was arrested following a standoff with the enforcement it's not clear what the motive was for the attack and asin was not previously known to police he's due in court in the next hour or so here's how other witnesses describe what happened. the man was walking through the intersection and 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 hit more people there and just kept going i see no reason of i see no white van with film with the red coloring on it and all i saw was that he smashed into someone over there pete 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 was a lady in there and i saw i just stopped and i looked the nights when after again all i sees is crumbling up one by one and one by one person got dragged on and

there blood is all over a young empress is really bad out there about how numb so shaky i'm still dying from this i can't believe this is happening this is like unbelievable this is song believable. i just got marks and i saw the i said i want to just go to find something wrong and not so many people just shout stop the car not. just keep moving and he did something wrong and i scream people like down there and even in the u.s. is stepping up its ambitions in space really isn't too keen on sharing the final frontier as among all stories still ahead after the break. with manufactured q. sentenced to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round to be the one

percent. with no middle of the room sick. believes. trades that have been wrong for five years one is the dollar is going to crash their goal is going to twenty five hundred very short term and that three the bond market is going to crash all those three trades are absolutely wrong for five years and they have taken many people out on a stretcher. defense

secretary has launched another scathing attack against moscow and said his country needs to reassess the threat posed by russia we have to be realistic about the challenges the challenges are posed by russia greater than the challenges presented as an insurgency in terms of iraq and afghanistan. russia and the perceived threat coming from the kremlin to the top of the agenda of the g seven meeting in toronto in canada officials described moscow's behavior as irresponsible and the stabilizing u.k. foreign secretary called for joint efforts against moscow. what we decided was that we were going to set up a jew certain group that would look at russian malign behavior in all this money for stations whether it cyber war whether it's this information assassination attempts whatever it happens to be and collectively try and call it out. i live now to world affairs journalist and author neil clark welcome back to r.t.

what's the main reason i call behind the defense secretary gavin williamson and highlighting russia as a potential global threat what's the thinking there when it goes on and doesn't i mean this is the real divide what you neo con establishment and the rest of the country because russia is not a threat russia is not a threat to the british people or to britain but it is a threat to the neo con plan for regime change in syria and swore to that and possible war with iran so that's why russia has been demonized by these neo conservative politicians in britain russia does not pose a threat to british citizens russia did not massacre british tourists in tunisia in twenty fifteen russia did massacre. go did it actually was forced is no actually facilitated now by the british government never agent in operation so i'm going to be clear here the threat is the threat is actually the british government backed and you have this in syria so rebels around the world afghanistan will be back in the eighty's and it's these people who are not russia because russia has done

nothing wrong really citizens and this is all a neo con even isolation campaign and not very optimistic sort of the g seven though on this with regards to russia do you expect any action to come from that group's meeting in canada that's pretty diverse thoughts there i can't imagine that the italians necessarily agreeing with the germans or the french or necessarily in the japanese on this what do you expect to happen what's going to happen colonies for other countries to actually stand up now make their voices loudly heard about this can't be right that britain and america going around trying to bully other countries in europe to compete against their own financial best interest to actually. sanctions on russia russia is an enemy europe wants better links with russia it wants the sanctions to be european business wants that and that's the message that came out of the euro to forecast which i tended to international economic forum we had visitors to russia one hundred people from i think other sixty countries message was loud and clear these countries in europe which are unhappy about this and put

a stand up now and make their voices heard to represent their own people and not allow themselves to be bullied by countries like the u.s. and the u.k. so i think the other g seven countries now want to stand up for themselves a bit more and the same with the e.u. countries like australia who i know are critical about the sanctions countries should come together now and say to the u.s. and u.k. no no you know any more of this. up with russia we actually want to see sanctions lifted and that will be good for european business and european jobs and so i think i think it's about time these countries do about themselves a bit more i want to for the seven do end up on the same page we're still talking about a block of powerful countries and here is a powerful entity if that happens then what harm might that do to the anti terror efforts in the middle east is going to do enormous harm isn't it because who is fighting who has been fighting isis who is by the pivotal role in defeating isis in syria it's been russia who has been the country has actually done more to defeat or trying to sort of groups you have these groups whose people who follow was

committing terrorist acts in britain but it's being russia not the british government the british government is intervening in syria against the government by russia that is fighting the jihadists so it's quite absurd situation and as you said it is anti russian campaign continues then the victims are going to be those people under threat but again it's i think it's time that the people in britain made their voices very loudly heard on this one to say enough is enough and not an end to this rhetoric you want to see a lifting of sanctions on russia but unfortunately we're going the opposite way the government is pushing this pushing this more and more i'm afraid and you know i came back to england from russia. on sunday night on the plane with my custom star asking russians bridge people on that plane why would you go to russia why you come to britain quite appalling that's russia at the moment it's coming from above it's coming from the british government and i think we were going to say enough is enough on this and. now we heard it which ever way you look at it we're a long way from russian western relations getting anywhere near back on track our way or the first journalist thanks very much for talking to us again. from. the

united states appears to be staking its claim to the stars with washington making it clear that the final frontier is america's domain the united states air force has even released a video on the dangers of other nations waging war in space. this is the world powers have a new focus for their impression their target space they don't have to dominate it just struck. here and has more on what appears to be a new space race and a scramble for off world dominance. military defense hollywood style united states air force has opened its high ground of space for day to other nations other air forces who dream of making such a claim but what if their dream became a reality never expects something trust to turn against you. millions give you facts paint your boards infrastructure. so.

skilled workers will compete and will win. the u.s. has unveiled its latest splurge in space with a plan to step up security on its satellites but 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 is 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 ask the u.s. the top brass of the air force i cannot think of a military mission that does not depend on space russia and china are developing

capabilities to disable our satellites as the u.s. deems ahead with its space odyssey it's pouring in billions and roping in the likes of space that is a long muskrats proven he can not only deliver but he brings the goods fast but will the channeling 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 were gone this of whether this is the case or not one thing's for sure the u.s. is deterred. and to remain a leader in this field the curator of warfare has changed in vision a constellation of gnana satellites always the predator never the pre and one person on able to contain his excitement is the us president space is a war fighting domain just like the land air and sea

we may even have a space force develop another one space force the air force one of the space schools we have the army the navy now you might think there is 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 un 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 free for world cup kicks off here in russia star studded team is traveling nationwide checking out the preparations for the biggest sporting event of the year this time legendary goalkeeper peter schmeichel has been seven hundred kilometers east of moscow to you catherine but it's for reporters here on wednesday but here's a quick taste of what's to come. this

never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. and is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos remember wolf it was dismissive to do it loving you like a million this isn't my cup us appears going out to the saudi holiday or they're
