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. a couple of hours ago at a rally with supporters donald trump announced he wants to make a good deal with iran. i hope to be able to make a deal with them a good deal a fair deal a good deal for them better for them better for them but we cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons they're already here was one of the most embarrassing agreements the united states has ever entered into
10:05 pm
when we won after quitting the deal and promising in a raft of new sanctions trump has also been continuing his verbal attacks against iran he's blamed terror on for causing what he calls back and death. how we deal with the red 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 another statement from trump and we're in for another treat it 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
10:06 pm
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 here 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 jihadist armed 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.

10:17 pm

10:18 pm
kingdom is bicillin y.b. 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 crowed at a senate confirmation hearing trina hospital was quizzed over her alleged involvement in the torture of terror suspects the session was interrupted by protesters to not answering the nominee. well the feeling. was that was. was. i was. was going to get the right stuff resisting my many racetracks and. never stop resisting was give me the city has stopped hurting me and i don't judge . well the man in that video wrestled to the
10:19 pm
ground by security and then scorch it out his seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern he was drunk out of the hearing off to denouncing hospital for her role in torturing terrorism suspects mcgovern was charged with resisting arrest and disrupting congress while greeting his supporters outside the courthouse he just played bruises on his hands which he said were inflicted during his arrest the government was stunned that he was taken into custody. i was in shock. you know. this may be hard to believe but i took the chairman at his word he said if you have something to say and it was so it is so that if it is about it you know if you have something to say i will say it. briefly and then leave well i said it but my god that's when you ask me what happened i remember that well you know if this happen to me. well cia's controversial and hans interrogation program was the
10:20 pm
main focus of possible senate grilling and although she promised on to her leadership the agency wouldn't we started some key questions seem to be dogged at the hearing. do you believe the program in terms that you get 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 if 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
10:21 pm
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 jeanna 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
10:22 pm
to get this job tina 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. well a recent poll suggests only a third of americans believe hospital's alleged involvement in torture makes her unfit for the cia post but we went on to the streets of new york to see 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. for 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
10:23 pm
you know here safe from terrorism or information leading to any really terroristic activities of course. now one state in the u.s. is encouraging people to take a different approach to raising children with so-called free range parenting. has brought into laura new bill that amends the definition of the term neglect according to the new legislation kids can now be a little more independent they can go to school nearby facilities by themselves as well as play outdoors unsupervised and their parents will be prosecuted for leaving a child in a car or time unintended founder of the free range kids movement lenore skenazy says it's time things were 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 caps came to the home of the couple and
10:24 pm
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 fake under u.s. laws and there is depending on each state some rule that youngsters can't 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 the norse canarsie launched the free range kids movement after she faced a strong backlash for letting her son ride new york's underground train system on his own she ended up being branded america's worst mum. so the whole idea of free
10:25 pm
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 knee any 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 watched a lot of t.v. and 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
10:26 pm
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. israel has revoked a work permit for the director of human rights watch the authorities said the decision was based on a dossier compiled on his activities over the course of a decade to care reports on israel and the palestinian territories for the rights group and just held his post since april last year israel has given him fourteen days to leave the country to care told r.t. the real motive behind the decision was to muzzle criticism of the israeli government. their reality is all of the allegations in the dossier relate to human rights activities many of which took place years ago before i joined human rights watch when i was a student in university and the reality remains that even according to the interior ministry neither i nor human rights watch promote boycotts human rights watch is an
10:27 pm
organization that covers over ninety countries across the world we've won a nobel peace prize you know for efforts we document abuses not only by israel but also by the palestinian authority and by hamas this is the first time of course human rights watch that israel has ordered human rights official out of the country who've been working here for nearly three decades i met a fifty plus year occupation characterized by systematic rights abuse and institutional discrimination so the real aim is clear it's to muzzle dissent where he writes won't says this isn't about the director himself but about shattering the organizations activities in israel it also says it supports the director and will fight for the decision to be reversed she thinks the organization will push on with his work regardless of any obstacles. barring me from operating here will not stop our reporting we'll continue to document rights abuses and be vocal about the right
10:28 pm
situation on the ground but i think it's a very worrying signal guarding where israel is and is going we intend to challenge a decision before an israeli district court. and we intend to continue to raise pressure not only to reverse this decision but also to rescind the law that calls for ban the entry of activists with fully anticipate that that decision over your first and then i will be permitted term in the country. now with a month to go until football's world cup look at one thing from moscow has won the russian premier league title for the third time and dotty's able to. look president about his club's victory and his thoughts on the big upcoming tournament here in russia. why is it a good idea to come to this country for the world cup for us that will be coming not to the country but to the world cup to be part of the huge just. football event
10:29 pm
in the world to be the part of world cup it's usually it's. about unity then to go to to visit russia to visit to look at the our beautiful country i believe people still worry that russian saddles are trouble makers do you think any issue like that will still come up during the world cup no i think not i think i think that we will have absolutely in no problems here in russia russian four billion and the place where they made to tremendous job to prevent it to influence the people so i personally believe that everything will be absolutely quiet and calm for us it's a dream too to hold this kind of event is a dream for every russian food lovers and i believe the most most countries of food bloggers. i'll do that with headlines in just over half an hour for more on all of
10:30 pm
our stories com. disappointing to know that armenia is not ukraine or georgia and that our experience is unique to certain extent 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 grassroots effort by the armenian people for the armenian people. don't 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 say.
