more 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 in his latest statement the u.s. president blamed iran for quote bedlam and death. how we do with the rare and 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 yemen with all of the places that are involved it's bedlam and death and we can't allow that to happen. joined me earlier in the
9:31 am
studio to take a closer look at the points emphasized by the u.s. president. this statement is just one of trump's classic treats now isn't it just to begin desexing it let's quickly really listen the first bit to see how we do with the rare probably we won't do a 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 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 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 but you also said 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 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. and we can't allow that to happen well
9:33 am
it's an interesting set of arguments. 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
9:34 am
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 a 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
9:35 am
reaction in iran to this whole deal. well this is pretty much how they reacted. to the it was. it 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 of me i mean germany britain france russia china and iran will be meeting most likely on monday to discuss how to move forward with this a lot of to look forward to. over a million people took part in

a more whole regiment march in moscow on wednesday event on those on commemorates those killed in the great patriotic war and was first held in twenty eleven since then it has become a key part of victory day celebrations around the world and hardly any family in russia was left unaffected by the great patriotic war in which around one in every six soviet citizens lost their life. was marching with the crowds. 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
9:37 am
that is 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.

9:40 am
was almost knocked over but was ultimately helped out by the president himself a war hero was seen being forced out of the way by members of the president's security team of lot of may have heard and saw what was happening and immediately stepped in and invited the veteran to walk with him caught up with a ninety four year old he told us his story. is he didn't the president was there he has two bodyguards. 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

risk but so it's trading at think there are three hundred thousand dollars a share so the message from charlie munger and warren buffett to americans is unless you've got three hundred thousand dollars to buy one share of berkshire hathaway you're a player you're a peasant here you know they are the neo feudal lords that are building the system milking the system abusing the system and. well as raunchy a coup. they add nothing to the economy. with us today the controversial white helmets group praised by the west as a rescue team working in syria has been guaranteed continued support by the british prime minister it's the reason it's off to washington's decision to pull the plug on syrian aid funding which includes the white helmets. but last week the trumpet ministration froze the u.s.
9:43 am
funding with fantasies 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. and can 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 be difficult conditions they are incredibly brave to be continuing that work we do support them we will continue to support them and i write on the family international development section we 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 in particular asking the question because of course the u.s. government to decide to cut their funding for the white helmets 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.
9:44 am
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 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 helmets so we've been repeated allegations that they have been linked to al qaida tied groups and that they have been on the front lines where groups like al nusra have been present working hand in hand and also that some of their rescue missions have been nothing but stunts to try to win the world sympathy .
9:45 am
now the white house continued to maintain that they're purely a humanitarian group and that they have no links to any extremist groups or the like but it's interesting they were founded by a former british army soldier a former master nouri by the name of james messire yeah and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue we spoke to political analyst mike ryder you who's been to syria himself he told us the case against the white helmets is abundantly clear.
