in values senator i believe very strongly in american values i want to trust that you have the moral compass that you said you have i have conducted myself honorably and in accordance with u.s. law do you believe that the previous interrogation techniques were immoral what i believe sitting here today is that i support the higher moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves to answer the question. and i think i've answered the question you have not torture and morality were the main topics of discussion at today's hearing there was some very clear opposition to haskell but those who were skeptical were concerned about her prior involvement with the cia's enhanced interrogation techniques which many describe as a torture program first some background on the controversy has full reportedly ran a cia prison in thailand where these techniques were used and she's accused of destroying tapes that documented these interrogations human rights organizations have even called upon the public to reach out to their representatives and oppose

her nomination but president trump seems to have no qualms with her questionable history in fact he's even praised her for being quote tough on terror so it's unclear whether or not trump's support will be enough for easy confirmation but what does have to see what happens it geno housefull has had practically every senior position in the cia's headquarters she's currently the acting director of the cia i knew her when she was the chief of staff in the counterterrorism center she's been in the senior intelligence service for decades but i think that she's not qualified to lead the cia because the actions that she took during the dark period of the cia's torture program disqualify her she has been doing literally everything she can think to do other than telling the truth about the cia's torture program to get this job ball had the opportunity to say the right thing that this was a dark period in u.s.

history people made mistakes the program was immoral it was illegal it was unconstitutional she never said any of that. the most recent poll suggests that only a third of americans believe the alleged involvement in torture renders hospital unfit for the post of cia chief we asked people on the street what they think. well as israel now has fired more rockets into the disputed golan heights targeting iranian outposts for a second night in a row the first rocket attack was launched a day off the donald trump announced his decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal which was hammered out back in twenty fifteen in his latest statement the us president blamed iran for quote bedlam and. see how we do with the rand probably we won't do a very well with them but that's ok too. they've got to. understand.

life because i don't think they do understand life if you look at what's happening in the middle east with syria. with all of the places they're involved it's bedlam and death and we can't allow that to happen. you go to you know it takes a closer look at the points for sized by the u.s. president. this statement is just one of trump's classic treats now isn't there just to begin desexing it let's quickly really listen the first bit to see how we do with the rare probably we want to very well but that's ok too well no wonder you probably won't get very get along very well with iran you've just pulled out of a very important deal of a deal that basically lifted most of sanctions off the country so and probably won't get along with a bunch of other nations too because i mean the united states weren't the only ones in this deal there was also germany britain france russia and china also backing this deal and who have all of those countries including america's allies reiterated

their support to the deal so as trump seen it through really is he ready for the rift between the united states and its allies to grow wider world maybe maybe he did because after all he has been touting this america first approach from the beginning of the campaign also says something about iran not knowing life let's just for a moment let's listen to that again they. understand. life because i don't think they do understand well you know there's a whole article on american exceptionalism and how america is special and not like any other country and basically gets to dictate what other countries have to do world this tirade could pretty much our whole section to that article i mean we get it understand what life is is basically a euphemism to understand how america wants it and act accordingly so at the end of it the whole life thing it wasn't all that he said because he carried on saying

this if you look at what's happening in the middle east with syria with yemen with all of the places they're involved it's bedlam and and we can't allow that to happen well it's an interesting set of arguments. he's had to underline. yemen. so to speak. there's a humanitarian disaster in the country it's a catastrophe as close to apocalypse there is it gets except human rights groups all of them pretty much pin the biggest chunk of the blame on saudi arabia for this because saudi arabia is bombing yemen right now and the united states not just providing weapons to saudi arabia they provide military support logistical support and they give intelligence to saudi arabia so the united states a directory complicit to the targets saudi arabia is choosing to bomb and they're bombing civilians hospitals schools i mean there's

a cholera epidemic in yemen going on right now and everyone is every human rights organization is crying foul and with syria i mean it wasn't iran in syria that was arming fighters that would later defect to terrorists or just turn out all just be uncovered as terrorists it was the united states so i mean there you have it the choice of countries to blame to blame iran for problems is in this current in these countries well it's just it's just simply not giving the full picture how is the u.s. now going to get along with iran at all participants of the deal they are still in except for the united states they were just like are were dropping out so again he probably won't get along well with iran that's that he's he's truthful but he's put forward a list of demands to iran basically to say no to intercontinental ballistic missiles to stop backing terrorism but also most interesting lead to drop this whole. the

phrase did quest to destroy israel and i mean when you look at that line it becomes it becomes very clear who is trying to appease here and when it comes to reaction in iran to this whole deal. well this is pretty much how they reacted it was it was it was so there isn't a ray of geopolitical nuances to this deal starting from how the this will be how the middle east as a whole as a region reacts to this deal in the long term also how america's relations with its allies shape out in the future because i mean the participants of the deal have called the emergency meeting on monday and if we i mean germany britain france

russia china and iran will be meeting most likely on monday to discuss how to move forward with this so a lot of to look forward to. over a million people took part in an emotional regiment montreux moscow on wednesday at the event almost on commemorates those killed in the great patriotic war and it was first held in twenty eleven since then it has become a key part of victory day celebrations around the world hardly any family in russia was left on affected by the great patchwerk war which around one in every six soviet citizens lost. or trying come august with the crown. the biggest and the most emotional event perhaps on the calendar in this country is making moscow cheer and cry at the same time i can tell you that this is a feeling that makes your heart so it is truly incredible the people are carrying

the portraits and i can tell you that three years ago i made myself a promise that if the next four years every year i'm going to be carrying a portrait of one of my four great grandfathers and here we have the evidence of that is my mother's greg. and father he won a medal during the second world war for liberating konigsberg which is now known as called leningrad the thing is that there are heartbreaking stories behind all the portraits that you can see around me and again there are hundreds of thousands of them and some people are carrying posters like this but i saw elderly people who can barely walk holding tiny photos that are so small but they are here too and it is very important for them to take part in this march as well back in the days there were no e-mails no watch sabse no chatting apps they were lying writing

letters to their relatives during these massively difficult times of the war. who were no. such of the. cook or her mother this with her coldness for them. before. her. work with them by shipping. everyone on the. ridge because i'm not. going.

to court because the more thorough more neutral you at the time go. her charm nor. course for. her to go back. up until. there were. crooks who. go in there. on her and. throw her into the number. unlike. the.

well during the victory day celebrations one of veteran was nearly knocked over but was ultimately helped by the president himself a war hero was seen being forced out of the way by members of the president's security team but i mean putin saw what was happening and i mean to me stepped in and invited the veteran to walk with him and he caught up with a ninety four year old and he told us his story. this weekend the president was there he has two bodyguards two big lads i was walking behind them the president knows me we've met before and he gave me a sign to come over i went the guards wanted to push me back but the president didn't let them they didn't touch me any more they understood that the president knows me and i know him well so we went together to the tomb of the unknown soldier and to the kremlin my rank is major general i was called up to the army before my seventeenth birthday after six months of training i was sent to the front line when

i got there moscow had already been liberated so i was sent to small units i took part in the battle for smolensk i was just a soldier for that bad. i got the medal for bravery are still to come here on the program on t.v. israel kicks out the director of human rights watch for the country will try to explain why after a very short break. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old for bridge eight

point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. it's. good to have you with us today for your wealth yours the controversial white helmets group praised by the west as a rescue team working in syria has been guaranteed continuous support by the british prime minister to resign may that's after washington's decision to pull the

plug on syrian aid funding which also includes that of the white helmets and also with the trumpet ministration from the us funding with families of civilian lives at risk will the prime minister stick out pledge the government to plug the funding shortfall that now exists and is sure these heroic rescue workers can continue their work a bit. again i say to the honorable gentleman we recognize the very important and valuable work that the white helmets are doing they always he says doing this in just the difficult conditions they are incredibly brave to be continuing that work we do support them we will continue to support them and iraq on the fan the international development section will be looking at the level of that support and teacher well the issue was raised today during prime minister.
