report at least six people including children have been killed in an alleged saudi led air strike me the rebel held capital sana'a. thank you for watching the news headlines here is our chief international broadcasting live from moscow. the u.s. is facing a raw with the e.u. following donald trump's announcement he was scrapping the iran you two year deal the other signatories to the agreement have expressed their willingness to keep it alive in commission president john claude you'll go said america has lost its figure. so is the usa turned away from multilateral relations with the ferocity that only surprised us all along wants to cooperate with other corners of the world there is much need for europe all across the globe at this point we have

to replace the united states which as an international actor has lost vigor because of it in the long term influence many european leaders of being openly discussing their arnie's since president trump made that decision to pull out of the uranium new clear accord france's president mr mack has been talking today about the fact that europe now must make its own way and not follow others due to the source the. other powers that is just the soaring us have decided not to respect their own work . or should we were announce our own choice. we must choose and seek with everybody to succeed in building our own fabric. what we teach in this region will be a guarantee of stability. act

so much so that european leaders want to selvage this deal that ministers from france the u.k. and germany do to meet with representatives from iran on monday to see if there is any way that they can keep this deal a life without the united states meanwhile we've also been hearing from the german chancellor angela merkel has talked about the fact that now the usa has decided to pull out of this of course means that europe will have to greater responsibility we will freeze more responsibility in europe and foreign policy in the area of securing peace in the area of political solutions we must find the u.s. president decided that he would withdraw from the nuclear agreement with iran france the united kingdom and germany have decided that we remain committed to this agreement but we've also been hearing that germany and russia have said that they will maintain communications as all the other signatories to the terrain in nuclear

deal just want to keep that deal afloat and we've also been seeing other tensions between the relations between germany and the united states after the u.s. a new ambassador to germany sent out a tweet in which she was giving the german companies who are working in iran some advice telling them they need to wind down operations immediately well that didn't go down too well with the former german ambassador to the u.s. passing on some sage advice that you don't tell a host country what to do essentially taking the new u.s. ambassador down a peg or two. well meanwhile after quitting the deal and promising a raft of new sanctions trump is continuing his war of words against iran he's blame terror on for causing what he calls bedlam and death. how we deal with the rare probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too. 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 they're involved it's bedlam and death and we can't allow that to happen another statement from trump and we're in for another treat it's so juicy you can't help but savor it let's take it from the top we'll see how we do with the rare probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too of course he probably won't do very well with iran he just we may go on a deal that let the country's economy breathe more freely for the first time in decades and by a chain reaction trump probably won't get along with a bunch of other countries either yes all those nations who decided to stay in the deal reiterating their support for it did trump see this coming the rift with his own allies probably doesn't matter that much after all the america first mantra go trump elected and if you don't get it you're in for

a life lesson they. understand. life because i don't think they do understand like we keep pedia has a whole article on american exceptionalism and this tirade could very well at a section to it we get it mr trump you say understand life we hear understand how america wants it and roll over and play and here's why according to trump everyone should be on board with his iran decision 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 what a set of arguments apparently it's ok to support saudi arabia and their bombings of yemen a deadly come pain there. resulted in the world's worst man made him in a terran crisis all courtesy of american weapons american logistical support and american intelligence and with syria i must have missed the moment when iran joined

the u.s. in sending money and weapons to jihad is saddam groups seeking regime change trump has laid out a list of demands to iran most notably he called on to iran to drop the quote quest to destroy israel an explicit indicator of who trumps trying to court here and this is how we run feels about trump's move. in the in the. and the american flag isn't the only thing in tatters now so is the iran nuclear deal which has left europe scrambling for a response one thing is clear though they won't be taking a leaf out of donald's art of the deal no one whether it's in europe with us on the

korean peninsula with us in the middle east anywhere in the world can trust the united states given in to march undertaken by washington should go to iran this is a kind of swirl dispute fashion in washington by this administration which i have to see is more regular in a sections of our mouth we are crane family than it is of any government right after trump announced the u.s. would pull out of the iran deal israel launched a major strike against iranian outposts in syria iran sixty rockets were fired from jets and ten missiles from the ground all aimed at targets in the disputed golan heights israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu says the country is determined to destroy iranian forces in syria. you handled stock of bomb iran crossed a red line our response was in accordance with that the i.d.f. carried out of very extensive strike against iranian targets in syria our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish itself militarily in syria.

r.t. arabic brawny in damascus and television seven raviv gave us more details on the strikes. here in the muscles we could be able to witness that action air defense where. israeli missiles in the sky over them i suppose a syrian military source announced that the army's air defense zone tens of israeli missiles some of that missiles. to hit destroy some all three an army sports leg that one is bought from air defense to the only one we do but israel says this was as a retaliation to iranian rockets fired towards the northern golan heights now israelis seem to have gone into shelters while this happened there were sirens here

in israel defense minister victor lieberman. has spoken today in a press conference saying that iranians should be aware because if there will be rain here in israel there will be a flood over there in syria and iranian areas nobody wants a conflict nobody wants war but everybody does seem to want to defend israel's borders. british prime minister to resume a has apologized unreservedly to a libyan dissident and his wife the government admits state actions contributed to the couple's detention transfer to libya and tortured by colonel gadhafi forces they will also receive half a million pounds in compensation. was the leader of an anti government group which had ties to al qaida he fled libya in two thousand and one and claims the british secret services helped gadhafi capture him in two thousand and four he spent six

years in a libyan jail claiming he and his then pregnant wife were subjected to torture and for that the british government has now apologized unreservedly. the prime minister has now written to them both to apologize on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal that you both suffered and our role in it. there's been a lot of reporting on the story not that much background detail on the man at the center of it. bell had she is now a prominent libyan politician but while moammar gadhafi was still in power he was a prominent anti gadhafi opposition leader and a leading member of an anti gadhafi militia as well which is called the libyan islam exploiting group the l i f g just a little bit more information about this group the ally f. g.

it operated from one thousand nine hundred five until last year it was considered an al qaeda affiliate and the group stage three attempts to assassinate gadhafi himself so a pretty violent organization so much so that it was regarded as a terrorist group by the u.k. and the u.s. nevertheless despite his checkered past shall we say and his wife have been on a quest for an apology from the british government ever since he was released from prison six years ago and documents discovered after the fall of gadhafi revealed that british m i six agents were involved in bell kidnapping so the kidnapping took place in two thousand and four in thailand belle hodges wife fatima was four months pregnant at the time and cia and m i six agents together kidnapped kidnapped them and handed them back over to the gadhafi government where

bell hard claims he was then imprisoned and tortured for six years his wife fatima was released after four months just before she gave birth they've managed to get the british government's top lawyer jeremy right to come out in parliament today to apologize so publicly to them on behalf of the government they were handed a letter written by. the prime minister herself saying that the intelligence here intelligence services here in the u.k. got it wrong that they apologize unreservedly and even awarding half a million pounds compensation to bell hard as wife fatima for the psychological trauma that she experienced as a result of the ordeal broadcaster john gaunt believes in this case relations between libya and the u.k. over the last two decades must be taken into account they made the mistake of tipping off. was not good at the time this was just before tony blair at that big

meeting in the tent will get their feet that food was on our soil this was before we decided to remove gadhafi and called all the trouble that we've had since including the kind of mass migration that we haven't seen since biblical times so you know we've got to remember the history here and see it in context we did call it a terrorist organization many of the people in the organization after the fall of gadhafi went on to al-qaeda so we are you could say funding somebody who could have been a member the whole is bukas. saudi arabia is said to be behind a fresh air strike in yemen which is left off doesn't it after the break. donald trump claims he's the master of the deal but when it comes to iran it is the art of no deal trump claims he has made america safer

a dubious claim closer to the truth is probably attempted force regime change in iran. has supported to note that armenia is not ukraine or georgia and that our experience is unique to certain extent that we're building on the success and the failures of past efforts to address the issues that you're talking about so in many ways we we have a leg up on anything that's been tried in the past this is not as a whole or a democrat a grassroots effort by the armenian people for the armenian people.

welcome back at least six people including two children have been killed in an alleged saudi led airstrike near the rebel held capital sanaa that's according to yemeni officials warning you may find the following pictures disturbing this building collapsed as a result of the strike you can see rescuers trying to help the victims mostly children who were trapped under piles of rubble local medical officials say the airstrike hit a house and a nearby shop wounding a further six people yemeni journalist hussein. told us more about the rescue efforts. so i would have targeted. on that as the entire family was living in the empire the country was leaving that out of the house of our brother man. they have killed his wife and then to all this children what you have seen in the video of their four children under the rubble that after this all get

a coalition fighter jet but event it is secured to come and we have seen in some of this video again which was ryan i was asking for some water and one of the disk you said just give out a little bit of water someone else in the room that is in the other room or looking for a mom and he said she is dead one of the little girl was crying and you were saying who is dead who is dead and the other one say all was was just looking for water they said no we'll give you a little bit of water you are still injured we need to check you are no i am not injured i am not injured and you can see in the footage that she was really really badly injured by the so called saudi was that i had. r.t. has asked the saudi government to comment on their alleged role in the airstrike and they have yet to respond the saudi led military operation in yemen has been carried out against two three revel's who control wide scale territories in the north riyadh has repeatedly insisted they do not target. millions the coalition has

carried out a number of its own investigations into a strikes that have led to mass casualties these come as rights groups continue to call for saudi arabia to end its role in the conflict guestroom yemen claims the us supplied the bombs saudi arabia used to strike. the u.s. ambassador to the united nation she is only caring about what type of missile does the whole. blame in iran for supplying dismissals but on the other hand she is totally forgetting that this type of bombs this this bomb called the blue ninety seven b. this is a cluster bomb the only country that i mean i have a blockade in yemen the only fighter jet that are on the sky in yemen there are so over the fighter jets that are a fuel by us jet they just love money they want just to continue selling weapons to make money and this is. how democracy exists in the united states and united

kingdom is bicillin y.b. and to dictatorship like saudi arabia to kill yemeni civilians or to kill any other civilians that in syria. donald trump's controversial pick for cia director has been grilled it's a senate confirmation hearing dean haspiel was quizzed over her alleged involvement in the torture of terror suspects the session was interrupted by protesters denouncing the nominee. could. resist. any restructuring. shoplifting related job her i mean are not justice.

the man in that video wrestled to the ground by security and then scored it out his seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern he served with the agency for twenty seven years but then became a political activists protesting against the use of torture mcgovern is a staunch critic of hospital r.t. contacted his lawyer who said the activist had spent a night in jail well the cia's controversial enhanced interrogation program was the main focus of hostile senate grilling and although she promised under her leadership the agency wouldn't restarted some key questions seem to be dodged at the hearing. do you believe the program in terms of interrogation program was consistent with american values we have decided to hold ourselves to a stricter moral standard 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 as trumps a nominee for cia chief goes through the confirmation process it's pretty clear that she's got some secrets she'd rather hide as a cia agent with over thirty years of experience in the organization she engineered interrogation techniques like waterboarding and she played a role in the destruction of interrogation tapes now the democrats say that they've got a lot of questions they'd like to have answered not to mention the human rights activists who asked her those questions directly but trump has said similar things himself and he has her back 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 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. a recent poll suggests only a third of americans believe hospitals alleged involvement in torture makes her unfit for the cia post well we went on the streets of new york city what people there think. no no no please so you're

more immoral it's pretty cruel and wrong i don't think it's morally morally right. or was going to stop a terrorist attack it would be all right i don't like that. but i don't claim to understand why or how it sometimes sort of might be necessary if it kept americans you know here safe from terrorism or information leading to any. terroristic activities of course. one state in the u.s. is encouraging people to take a different approach to raising children with so-called free range parenting uta has brought into laura knew bill that a man is the definition of the term neglect according to the new legislation kids can now be a little more independent they can go by themselves to school and nearby facilities as well as play outdoors unsupervised and their parents won't be prosecuted for leaving a child in

a car or at home unattended founder of the free range kids movement lenore skenazy says it's time to think changed. there was a very famous case about four years ago now where parents let their children ages ten and six walk home from the park somebody saw the children thought it was so unusual that they were there without a parent that they called the cops and the cops came to the home of the couple and they were investigated for neglect that took several months and in the meantime they were investigated again for letting their kids do it again walk home from a park and they were saying this is our right we as parents think that our children are ready for this we know the neighborhood we know our kids we love our kids more than anybody knocking on the door so why are you investigating as for giving our kids some old fashioned freedom or critics say problems arise as the definition of neglect is vague under us laws and varies depending on each state so we're all that

youngsters can be left in a vehicle or at home alone others define neglect as the failure to provide appropriate supervision but that brings into question what appropriate means and also can as he launched the free range kids movement after she faced a strong backlash for letting her son ride the underground train system alone she ended up being branded america's worst mum. so the whole idea of free range kids began ten years ago when i let my nine year old ride the subway here in new york city and i'm a newspaper columnist i wrote a column about it and two days later i was on every possible talk show defending the idea that kids can do some things on their own we've really come to the point in america where seeing a child doing anything on their own without a parent or without an adult without a coach or a teacher or a nanny or a babysitter is considered somewhat unusual because we become so afraid we we really started believing that anytime

a child went outside they were going to be kidnapped we just watch a lot of t.v. as you see on t.v. and people really got it in their mind that that was happening and always being with our children and always hovering over them we're actually not allowing them to develop the sixth sense of how to take care of themselves and how to get out of some arguments and rotten situations or if they get lost and how to find their way and that is part of growing up part of growing up is learning to deal with something other than sitting in the back seat being driven somewhere so we say we're keeping our kids safer but actually we're stunting them. well that i can just live off an hour with the latest news but for more stories on features in the meantime. when lawmakers manufactured them sentenced him to public wealth. when the

ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. rooms in the real need. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all such but there was one more question and by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure come after you have to go meet the center of the problem here with you and we'll show you all the great british you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go.

alone. and i'm really happy to join the for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me just just read the review the aussie team's latest edition to make up as we go i need to just say look . there are a lot of assumptions and currents. in the deterrence these based on. historically actually it's been proven wrong no doubt many accidents. many judgments homesteads show nuclear war.

greetings and salutation. for those seeking to better understand the current moral compass of federal politics and institutions here in the united states of america one doesn't have to look much further than the good old dog and pony show that was on display yesterday at the confirmation hearing of u.s. president donald trump's pick to be the next director of the central intelligence agency jane haskell the rather controversial choice for agency director given her role in the post nine eleven u.s. torture program and its and suing attempted cover up and white washing was according to critics. rather dodgy and light on the details regarding her now quote moral compass. at the hearing hospital valiantly stated my moral compass is drawing i would not allow cia to undertake activity that i thought was immoral even if it was technically illegal i would absolutely not

permit it which naturally leads one to ask if you wouldn't permit it today then why would you permit it then yesterday when you were there torturing folks that was a line of questioning that haskell ultimately dodged with the ice cream sundae of different excuses ranging from well you know is a different time back then to the oldie but goodie i was just following orders out nuremberg of you one of the most telling exchanges took place when maine senator susan collins asked haskell if the cia has a high value terrorism suspect in its custody and the president gave you a direct order to waterboard that terrorist what would you do. which are more than likely new director of the cia replied i don't believe the president would ask me to do that really jeana really he wouldn't ask you. i would bring back waterboarding and i'd be.
