under the. rubble they were from one family which was targeted by saudi. they've been under the rubble for hours because the saudi has befriended her from reaching the site and we have seen in some of this video that one of the a girl called this a old witch was crying and she was asking for some water just imagine she has been waited for one thousand four hours. and she was thursday she couldn't feel how the body and she thought that she was not injured and you can see totally in the footage. that was caused by many local t.v. channels that she was really really badly injured by this so-called so would be. we're after the saudi coalition and yemen to comment on reports of the recent strike so far no comment a spokesperson for the saudi coalition earlier goal is to restore yemen's legitimacy and to make the country safe and secure the saudi incursion in yemen is

aimed at who the opposition fighters who controlled territories in the no human rights groups continue to call on riyadh to stop bombing yemen saudi arabia has repeatedly insisted it doesn't target civilians who saying i will fight here again says he has evidence to the contrary. would have brought to me by children in that area just imagine i mean this yellow bright color just what are on their home in their villages i mean i want to ask the u.s. ambassador to the united nation who is supplying this bomb to the saudis the coalition the only country that actually is using this bombs on yemen the only company that i mean to have a blockade in yemen the only fight that is. on the sky in yemen they are so do you fight that if you get that out of fuel by u.s. jets and the only thing that they like is they've skated of out is what type of missile that the yemenis or the hope you have. the american president's recent

decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal has come in for more harsh words at home as donald trump announces he wants to strike a new agreement with tehran adding that it would be better for that country 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 president chimes dangerous action makes iran's nuclear program now more likely to be resumed president trump has strengthened the hardliners in iran and iran may go back to pursuit of highly enriched uranium and ultimately a nuclear weapon and now are off to an arms race in the most volatile part of the world on tuesday donald trump officially announced washington was dumping the iran nuclear deal struck by the obama administration has long been describing the agreement as one of the worst deals ever made america says it didn't cover iran's

ballistic missile program nor its perceived my lai and activities in the region so now washington is putting the screws on companies doing business with tehran as daniel bushell investigates. the sanctions back iran probably doesn't care much it's had them in one shape for for decades washington shooting itself and our allies in the foot surely know it's. the youth and way over ten billion euro of stuff to iran last year relationship in full bloom corporate giants now licking wounds include the biggest hitters on the continent from volkswagen to british airways air bus may be worst hit it signed a nineteen billion dollar deal with tehran just two years ago three billion more with as a man airlines why should europe care if trump quits the iran deal because he can make it your problem to write off the trumps announcement on his very first day on

the job new u.s. ambassador to burley and tweeted the following all minutes threat as donald trump said u.s. sanctions would target critical sectors of iran's economy german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately issuing national threats via twitter seems trump picks people in his own image but this time he's crossed a diplomatic red line my advice after a long ambassadorial career explain your country's policies and lobby the host country but never tell the host country what to do if you want to stay out of trouble germans are eager to listen but they will resent instructions welcome to our country sir i'm looking forward to a good cooperation by the way this excludes threatening german companies for a policy announced by your president ignoring core security interests of europe here we have the entire nature of the transatlantic alliance of the order for the

sham let it is because this is not and i instituting equal partners and friends successive european governments have actually claimed it is indeed their relationship between i hate you morning behave math washington and its utopian satellites and sure this has all kinds of ramifications certainly more than economic ramifications for those companies so long as it helps the u.s. economy right trumps the businessman after all he must know how to oil the wheels of trade apparently not. gas prices of top the psychological benchmark of two dollars eighty a gallon almost a painful fifty cents up in just a year and u.s. employers are hurting too just weeks after trump's election boeing toasted a seventeen billion dollars deal for eighty u.s. built jetliners to iran but when bragged about it in line with trump's favorite

mantra i will take jobs back. to jobs or jobs good jobs and even great jobs jobs jobs jobs today's agreement will support tens of thousands of u.s. jobs directly and nearly one hundred thousand u.s. jobs in the u.s. airspace value stream for the food course of deliveries jobs jobs jobs no more future deals go on existing contracts scrapped u.s. workers on your bike so who take their place iran's already struck billion dollar deals with russian play makers suing china's all over iran like a rush huge energy deals you railroads and in cold hard cash iran has a strategy. of alliance with the russians and the chinese if. the europeans leave if.

american companies leave what happens is that iran is going to substitute the u.s. with russia and china. take nor the opioid epidemic has become one of the top priorities of the current us administration as overdose deaths have seen a sharp increase in recent years part of the plan is to cut back on opioid prescriptions and potentially those who wish to them so america can reports. crisis in the us has reached the point where the drug enforcement administration itself says it should be doing a better job the united states continues to be affected by a national opioid epidemic which has been spurred in part by the rise of opioid prescribing and misuse the da can and must do better let's quickly break it down in a span of seventeen years two hundred thousand people have died as

a result of overdose deaths involving opioids increase four times from ninety nine to twenty sixteen and every day more than fix hundred fifty thousand opioid prescriptions are issued in the us. and the da blames doctors indiscriminate prescribing can endanger patients' lives doctors take an oath to do no harm and provide the best care for their patients first do no harm this is the basic principle to practice medicine but is it fair to pin the blame on doctors when it's the d e a itself that registers individuals and companies to sell controlled substances and guess what their funding is depended on that ga must set face at a level that ensures the recovery of the full costs of operating the various aspects of the diversion control program. in two thousand and seventeen the da claimed that it issued one point seven million licenses around five hundred thousand more since two thousand and eight

a pharmacist who prescribe drugs to almost all of his clients is now serving jail time for ground zero as west virginia where doctors write hundred and thirty eight prescriptions for every one hundred people did you write three hundred twenty five prescriptions the first week of january for more than nineteen thousand oxy code on pills. possibly you don't know how many prescriptions you wrote i don't i don't i may well be he's still behind bars but his license was never revoked it just expired well indeed a report showed that criminals are often allowed to continue practicing medicine even after doing their time in one instance a doctor who was selling prescriptions for controlled substances to undercover police was sentenced to five years supervised probation but never lost his license if that's not shady enough the agency issued licenses to individuals that have a history of drug abuse and trafficking here's one example a doctor was granted

a medical license after two drug related arrests the first time he was arrested for cocaine distribution and the second for cocaine use only to be issued a license eight years later. even well intentioned compassionate physicians have gotten caught up in the problem of overprescribing i think the da does bear responsibility primarily in that their job was really to police whether or not opioids were being indiscriminately prescribed dispensed and even transported to these very small towns and they didn't do their job in that regard but why is it that licenses are rarely revoked while the acting head of the d.a. believes the system is to blame we have done a lot of civil fines but when you look at major businesses civil fines seem to have little impact and i think that's part of the frustration i think the key to it is as we're states either don't have the ability to connect with each other or the

system that actually aren't being used as is highly problematic and the way the system works means we're only seeing the tiniest fraction of licenses the folks we're talking ciro point zero one four percent out of one point seven million licenses so one of the things that we are now recommending is before the v.a. grants a license to a physician. and there should be required education that that physician should have in order to get the da license in the first place what would be much more important is training physicians in how to safely prescribe opioids in the first place and once they have prescribed opioids how to monitor patients so that they can see whether or not that patient is becoming addicted misusing the opioid or diverting it to other sources. a man who was violently escorted out of a senate hearing and detained on wednesday has been released and walking out of the court facility seventy nine year old cia veteran ray mcgovern showed bruises he

blamed on security he was one of the protesters who interrupted the session denouncing the controversial cia chief nominee hospital here was you are right god resisting my many respects. but there are some resisting. this is that is job hurting you know you don't just. want to hold off. in the video or in the governor's wrestle to the ground by security he was dragged out of the hearing off the denouncing hospital for her alleged role in torturing terrorism suspects mcguffin was charged with versus resisting arrest and disrupting congress and stunned that he was actually 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 he was sort of sort of diffident about it you know you have something to say

will say it. briefly and then leave well i said it but i guess that's what you're asking me what happened with that well you know is this happening to me. the u.s. democrats are losing support ahead of november's midterm starts according to a recent poll otty correspondent caleb maupin offers some analysis. watchdogs of american politics of observed that the democrats are losing their supposed upper hand when it comes to the upcoming congressional midterm elections now there are many different factors that play into this but one that stands out is that trump has doubled down on good old fashioned american warmongering he's appointed notorious war hawks pompei oh and bolton he's ripped up the iran deal and he's even unleashed a torrent of missiles against the syrian arab republic more recently he's appointed gina has a bloody gina to be the head of the cia she was allegedly involved in the agency's

torture program of the past now we get a lot of democrats speaking up against gina haskell but as long as she gets two of them to go along in her favor she's clear to be confirmed already we've got joe manchin from west virginia democratic senator speaking in her favor. i have found gina hospital to be a person of great character she has worked in some of the most dangerous corners of our world and i have the utmost respect for the sacrifices she has made for our country i look forward to working with gina hospital now joe manchin is from west virginia that's a state full of conservative minded appellations while opposing war and torture might when the democrats friends up in new england in red states among conservative minded americans these hardline pentagon policies are crowd pleasers not scandals now remember the resistance the folks protesting donald trump at every turn and taking the leadership from hillary clinton well those folks agree with donald trump on very few things but among them is bombing syria i really believe that we should

have and still should. take out his airfields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and proxy sharon gas. even c.n.n. the network down in trump is accused of fake news is with him when he's on the warpath remember when missiles were flying into syria voices that usually. polos donald trump simply an odd donald trump ordered a missile strike against the assad regime in syria i support president trumps use of american military power this week they even talked up the military equipment we are refueling the saudi bombers that are dropping the bombs it is said that thousands of civilians have died in yemen because of this you know there's a lot of jobs at stake certainly if a lot of these defense contractors stop selling warplanes other sophisticated equipment to saudi arabia they're going to there's going to be a significant loss of jobs or revenue here in the united states when the media and

politicians are telling americans that war is good for business don't be too surprised if you see us public support for war let's recall how the media pushed the americans to support the invasion of iraq and most of them went along with it we expect every american to support our military and if they can't do that to shut up our duty as loyal americans to shut off once the fighting begins trump campaign with the war talking points but the polls show that he's hawkish turn hasn't really hurt him among the public there seems to be a lot of americans who are tired of war but there's a pretty solid core of folks who believe the cruise missiles keep them safe and that america first should refer to military strength. r t new york it is a friday maybe eleventh here in moscow but grateful to have you with us for the program on our international today still plenty to come in the program hope you can stay with us for just a moment. most

people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read. truth to stand down the news business you just the right questions to the right answer. the question. seems wrong. just don't. get to shape out. active. and engaged in. the trail.

when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. twenty past here in moscow us a democrat lawmakers have released thousands of social media ads with alleged links to russia it's all in a bid to explain how the kremlin was supposedly seeking to sow discord in america during the twenty sixteen presidential election and what i guess the costs a critical eye at the hands. here it is the panacea to all your doubts russian meddling exposed three thousand five hundred and nineteen ads on facebook posted by russia allegedly say us democrats the russian social media campaign was designed to further the broader criminal ject of sowing discord in the u.s.

by inflaming passions on a range of divisive issues the point of these ads they say was to divide americans but you take a closer look and the real takeaway is russia really really sucks meddling take this ad for the african-american civil rights movement zero clicks zero impressions meaning no one ever saw it real poor interfering right there but next now here's a surprise a blue lives matter post black versus blue sea by a grand total of no one no one ever saw this ad either all right. so far but how about this one an ad for muslims it says we believe in individual liberty in the free market take heart liberty will prevail the catch is it

appears as if posted by a group defending the second amendment the right to bear arms and there are literally hundreds of such groups and facebook alone ok ok let's think something truly divisive to meek across a black doctor felt humiliated when don't the airlines flight attendants refused to believe that she was a qualified physician now that's allegedly intended to stir up tensions to tear americans apart except that's exactly how it was reported in us media to not responding to a viral facebook post from an african-american doctor who says she. he was discriminated against on a flight you know how much the russians spent on this one hundred thousand dollars a huge sum right it's roughly zero point zero zero zero one percent of what trump spent on his campaign so what's the takeaway russia is really

bad at meddling some of those ads were never seen by anyone and others were copy pasted from mainstream media and that's if you believe that these were russian ads the only thing these ads prove is russia will never ever be as good as us media a dividing america. hundreds of kittens are being euthanized every year after being used in experiments on food borne illnesses scientists use them to investigate diseases such as talk surprise most of us after the experiments even healthy kittens were allegedly put down just in goodman vice president of the white coat waste project claims it's been going on for decades been doing it for nearly fifty years straight your a one hundred year comes directly from the approved application for the very project never criticized it says in their numerous times that they plan to use one

hundred kids a year and that this number is based on the number of kids they've used in previous years so it's not only that they're killing up to one hundred kids now it's that they've been doing it for decades and they've missed out of their documents now after all of this has come out the u.s. department of agriculture finds itself under fire it says it didn't consider the option of the option of adoption as the animals could have posed a threat to people by spreading the disease however the world health organization explained that cats are not the main way the disease is spread adjusting goodman again says the kittens and the cats posed no danger. it is absolutely false and untrue what the u.s.d.a. is saying about these cats possibly posing a risk to people the u.s. centers for disease control one of our top health agencies the americans at merion medical association and the association for the area medical colleges as well as lots of other authorities also say that cats who have this parasite are perfectly

safe to have in your house the government agency say are these cats are healthy and to be people's pets they could be adopted out but instead the u.s. department of agriculture is killing one hundred kids a year for no reason. friday in a row journalists from spain's state owned a radio and television corporation are dressing in black it's part of a protest against alleged into ferentz into the channels work by spain's ruling party described old john list's a calling for the sucking of the media corporations president they started their black friday campaign in a bid to protect media integrity expressing anger at the government's perceived efforts to control their work when done to cover the positive developments in catalonia because you find the damaging news more interesting when you're asked to tell the viewers about the electoral campaign in chronological order so that you

won't start with the scandal affecting the ruling party when you're asked to present certain information exactly how it's been presented to you data there is always one sided and that you have no chance to give the broader context to the spanish parliament on wednesday a spanish journalist presented some examples of how media workers are allegedly being restricted by the government. well i mean i don't think my boss instructed me to prepare material about the speech of minister jorge fernandez d.s. i told him that without the original audio i would not accept the assignment after ten minutes i was removed and he gave this task to another journalist and here is another example they put the story on my colleagues table which without any verification accused juan carlos mona darrow of tax evasion haven't checked information from that piece of paper she saw that it was untrue that there was neither fraud nor crime in it do you know what they said to her to make it look that way that is what they told this journalist. that next week a spanish journalists will present over five hundred cases of alleged government

interference to that of the european parliament. but it's nice to surprise your best guests with well in the original dish but the israeli prime minister mr benjamin netanyahu may have tried a little too hard lately. shoes are repulsive to the japanese sensibility you may as well have spit on their food so. apart from the cultural ignorance shown here who was deserted issue. he should show a little bit of respect to his guests and get that shoe off the table.

and we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen and the president she was enjoying it so what happens is i said we've just launched their. missiles heading to iraq well you have to syria gas heading towards syria. this is ot international hope to see you so.

deep seated pisces. americans i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. world war two cures the depression cars to united states is concerned prosperity of course from store. for the for us the whole world what it what and. historical rewrite ever since world war two to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. socialists nish bush if you are so you call me out you all just a swath of the earth so use could all go. well i think world war two has been the story credibly by the anglo-american media and that's because they

wanted to minish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. when lawmakers manufactured consensus instance of public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. in the final merry go round the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. around in the real news room.
