by john do you foresee any changes there i think as armine as foreign policies are structural and they are less about who is in power and more about the geo political nature that armenia finds itself so. with regard to our neighbors with regards to our strategic partnership with russia with regards to our working relationship with europe you will not find very much deviation from from the well the reason i'm asking this question is because before mr passion and was voted in by parliament he suggested that he would push for recognition of the sovereignty of not going to cut off region it reaches one of armenia's most difficult long running problems and i know that he's about to visit that their region i believe on wednesday you're supposed to kompany him on the trip what is the logic of disturbing frozen conflict.

before addressing all of the domestic challenges that you mentioned before i don't see you what he's doing is disturbing the logic and i think you'll notice that. even during this whole revolution there really wasn't an issue regarding the girl in a car about. his stance on the girl harbaugh has been very clear. and it's going to continue along the same lines as as previous administrations have probably but the important thing here is that unlike previous administrations nicol passion is actually going to have the legitimacy to speak on behalf of the armenian people and i believe that that will allow for an environment that leads to a peaceful resolution much more quickly and quite frankly would be great to see a government and other by sean that could also speak on behalf of the people because that's the only way to really come to a peaceful resolution on this conflict misted. and i'm sure you know that. i said

john is not going to take his visit to that region lightly there is also turkey which already said that it's going to support. a very and whatever it means now there is russia which is treaty bound to intervene or support their meaning in the event of a conflict so my point is that they ask electorial potential here is pretty pretty unsettling i just wonder why involving the issue of not going a car bomb is i have to disagree with you on the on the basis on the basis of what nicole question is doing by visiting a girl in a car both is nothing but is nothing more than what every other armenian president and prime minister has done in the past there is nothing extraordinary there it's it's standard operating procedure for all armenian presidents and prime ministers in the past and it's i don't foresee it causing any greater headache well it's interesting you believe that because mr passion and specifically sad during his

speech to parliament this revolution that will lead to the the jury recognition of the ride of car back to self-determination and we are talking here about a change of borders because now gotten a card back formally still lies within the internationally recognized borders by john even though it has been under the control of the ethnic armenian forces for more than twenty years. recognizing i'm going to he's a major issue that would be a major game changer in the region and you know so the nuchal posho spoke about the the right for self-determination for the people of the corner carbolic again this is a standard this is not a deviation from anything in the past every armenian government has spoken about the right of self-determination for the people in the corner car both and and again i don't see anything extraordinary and his rhetoric there really i don't let me just clarify do you think if armenia was indeed two months these stands on recognize. using the right of self-determination of the in accordingly region is it

likely to do that you know laterally or is it likely to try to seek some regional and international support for that army has always and continues to maintain that the are going to carve a conflict needs to be resolved within the framework of the always the minsk group and one of the principles of the always siemens group is the. right to for self-determination so again like i said there's really nothing there about can we have time for just one question and it may come across as lame to you but the police indulge me we've talked every speech we've discussed the recent changes in passions appearance his recent efforts to look more like a military man despite him never having taken part in any active combat and some of the observers suggested that he deliberately tries to look like the armenian hero from those early clashes in there go on the kind of bomb month it baby they only

look like an identical twins at this point even you know with the bandage on the same on the same hand is that just a coincidence or is that also a clever use of political technology because somebody accused him of trying to appeal to that militaristic or nationalistic filling on the part of many armenians many armenians do feel entitled to not go in the car back so they had an idea here they suggest in here that he is trying to invoke some of that with his image i think the observers just side are absolutely wrong i mean the reason why you as a bandage on the have or had a bandage on the hand was because it was cut by barbed wire i think more than anything the put the political technology you want to be looking for there is the contrast between his military appearance and the peaceful nature of the protests i think that's the image that most tends out any any. visual

appearance or similarities to monta middle class i mean how. you know armenian men with a beard could get passed from one to milk on your own these days so i think those observers are just wrong and informed well about can thank you very much for being with us today we have to leave it there i really hope and many of us here in russia hope that i mean you will make us both jealous and proud alfalfa to chairman we are looking forward to the transition good luck with the reform agenda thank you very much well and our viewers can keep this conversation going on our social media pages as for me hope to see you again same place same time here on worlds apart.

a cia veteran is thrown out of a hearing for donald trump's pick to head the agency protests over the nominee's reported involvement in a program. the us president blames iran in the middle east after

announcing washington would read neg on its commitments under the iran nuclear deal . if you look at what's happening in the middle east with syria. other places that are involved in. the u.k. says it will continue funding the controversial aid group. despite ongoing accusations that it's a. terrorist. day here in moscow this is the international news on the every. u.s. president donald trump controversial pick for cia director has been grilled at a senate confirmation hearing over her alleged involvement in the torturing of terror suspects the session though was interrupted by protesters denouncing the nominee.

the second person in that video right there who was wrestled to the ground by security and then escorted out is seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern he served at the agency for twenty seven years but then became a political activist protesting the use of torture programs and mcgovern is a staunch critic of juno hospital and we contacted his lawyer who told us that mr mcguffin did spend the night in jail. now the cia's in a hans interrogation program was the main focus agency had no many hospitals senate

grilling as she has been accused of being directly involved in torture practices in the past and the hospital promised that under her leadership the agency wouldn't restart the controversial program there was certainly some ducking and diving at the hearing. do you believe the program in terms that you can share a geisha program was consistent with american values we have decided to hold ourselves to a stricter moral standards are they consistent with american 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 i 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 will 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 say what happens it jeanne has bill 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 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 we asked people on the street what they think. no no no no please so immoral immoral it's pretty cruel and wrong i don't think

it's morally morally right. for was going to stop a terrorist attack it would be i don't like that. but i don't claim to understand why or how it's done sometimes so it might be necessary if it kept americans you know here safe from terrorism or information leading to any 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 launched a day off to donald trump announced his decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal which was reached back in twenty fifteen.
