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 gina haskell 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 that the alleged involvement in torture renders hospital unfit for the post of cia chief and we asked people on the street what they think.

no no i don't play so immoral immoral it's pretty cruel and wrong i don't think it's morally morally right. i was going to stop a terrorist. i don't like that. but i don't claim to understand why or how it's done sometimes source that might be necessary if it kept americans you know here safe from terrorism or information leading to any. terroristic activities of course. israel has fired more rockets into the disputed golan heights targeting iranian outposts for a second night in a row tel aviv claims it was responding to twenty rockets launched by iran from syrian territory into the golan heights the first rocket attack by the israelis was going to a day after donald trump announced his decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal which of course was reached in twenty fifteen in his latest statement the us

president blamed iran for quote bedlam and death. how we deal with a rare and probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand 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. takes a closer look at the points emphasized by the u.s. president this statement is just one of tramped trumps classic treats now isn't it just to begin to say let's quickly really listen the first bit see how we do with the rare probably we want to very well with them 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 he

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 the german who 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 has trump seen it through really is he ready to 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 go let's listen to that again they've got to 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 out a 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 well it's an interesting set of arguments. to underline the position so to speak 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 been 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 or the rectory 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 or run for. says in this country in these countries well it's just well 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're still in except for the united states they were just like our dropping out so again he

probably won't get along well with iran that's 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 lee to drop this whole as the phrase did quest to destroy israel and i mean when you look at that line it becomes it becomes very clear who trump 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. with the with the i. was so there's an array 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 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 the whole regiment march in moscow one wednesday event on those and commemorates those killed in the great cultural war it was first held in twenty eleven since then it has become a key part of the day celebrations around the world hardly any. family in russia of the soviet union was i left unaffected by the great natural to war in which around one in every six soviet citizens lost their lives seeds in a trunk of modest with the crown. the biggest and the most emotional

event perhaps on the calendar and this country is making moscow cheer and cry at the same time i can tell you that this as 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 at 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 as my mother's grandfather he won a medal during the second world war for liberating konigsberg which is now known as cullinan grad 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. there was no. comment from this mom such similar the. leader took her to sit in the loop with openness to look. before.

her. for infants wasn't my three kids shippey. like you and i mean that. they were to be. part of an m. . court script that they were at the who. at the site killed. her veterans here in north. korea for. her program. there were. trucks. that go in there.

to her prison and. yeah i should go faster than the proceeds. from this. much. shorter period. where. i was out international during the victory day celebrations here in moscow one 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 about him had heard enough so what was happening and quickly stepped in via the veteran to walk with him and we caught up in. a ninety four year old and he told us his story. is that 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 battle i got the medal for bravery. good to have you with us today for the program on our international still lots more coming your way and we return in just a. discipline to know that armenia is not for ukraine or georgia and that our experience is unique to certain extent and we're building on the success and the fielder's of

past efforts to address the issues that you're talking about so in many ways we have a leg up on anything that's been tried in the past this is not just a democrat a grassroots effort by the armenian people for the armenian people. local wal-mart selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that it's going. to stop spreading to tell you that what we gossip and tabloid by file for the most important news today. off of advertising tells me you are not cool enough to buy their products. are the hawks that we along with all of what.

thank you joining us here for the program the controversial of white helmets group praised by the west as a rescue team working in syria has been guaranteed continued support by the british prime minister to resign way. after washington's decision to pull the plug on syrian aid funding which includes that of the white helmets but last week the trumpet ministration froze the us funding with thousands of civilian lives at risk will the prime minister stick up pledge the government to plug the funding shortfall that now exists and is sure these heroic rescue workers can continue their work. again i say to the honorable gentleman we recognize the very important and valuable work that the white house mates are doing they are as he says doing this in this week difficult conditions they are incredibly brave to be continuing that work we do support them we will continue to support them and my right

understand the international development secretary will be looking at the level of that support in the future while the issue was raised today during prime minister's questions particular one about the white helmets came from a member of the labor party and particularly asking the question because of course the u.s. government to decide to cut their funding for the white helmet and so the question well what would the british government be looking to do to plug that gap now it's interesting that the u.s. government has taken that decision because just a couple of months ago in march the white helmets and their senior leaders were in washington taking high level meetings with the us government officials who were praising them for their work and praising them for their life saving activities as it's been put but not everybody is a fan of the white.
