i was reading. artie's video agency films attempts by rescue workers in yemen to pull children out of the rubble after a reported saudi airstrike hits a house in the capital killing at least six also this hour donald trump to strike a new deal with iran which in his own words will be for the better for the islamic republic vote for now washington is ordering american and european companies to stop working with iran and us politicians born america's opioid crisis is escalating we investigate how much of the blame lies with the way licenses for prescriptions are distributed and artie speaks exclusively to an activist who was aggressively manhandled and detained after speaking out against the confirmation of the new cia director nominee during

a senate hearing. hello there welcome good afternoon you watching r.t. international pm here in moscow. now at least six people have been killed in a reported saudi air strike near the yemeni capital cording to local officials word of warning you might find the following pictures distressing. video agency filmed the ensuring rescue operation and it transpired that many of those trapped in the collapsed building were children. strike struck a home and the shop many journalists who say described to us the rescue efforts. seen this video as oldest kids were trapped under the. rubble they were from one

family which was targeted by so did strike they've been under the rubble for hours because the saudi has been offended. from reaching the site and we have seen in some of this video that one of the a girl called this a all which 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 broadcast by many local t.v. channels that she was really really badly injured by this so-called sodhi strike but we have sent a request to the society led coalition in yemen asking for comment on the recent strike and riyadh alleged role in it but so far we haven't had a response a spokesperson for the saudi coalition earlier you said the goal is to restore him and legitimacy and to make the country safe and secure the saudi incursion in yemen

is a hoot the opposition fighters who controlled territories in the north human rights groups continue to call in riyadh to stop bombing yemen saudi arabia has repeatedly insisted it doesn't target civilians but he. says he has evidence to the contrary those bombs would have brought to me by children in that area just imagine i mean this yellow bright color just were out there all in their villages i mean i want to ask. u.s. ambassador to the united nation always survived this bomb to the south of the coalition the only country that actually is using this bomb on yemen the only company that i mean to have a blockade in yemen the only fight that is. on the scale in yemen they are so do you fight that you get that out of fuel by u.s. jets and the only thing that they like is that it's getting our vote is what type of missile that the yemenis over the whole of the. people are taking

part in a rally in toronto crying u.s. president donald trump's decision to tear up the iran nuclear deal. was good was. it was the protesters he could also be seeing trampling on american flags people are also shouting anti-american slogans and saying march through the city meanwhile to rein in politicians are saying that iran intends to stick to the terms of the current nuclear deal at least for now despite washington's unilateral action the american presence decision to scupper the agreement has faced for the criticism too not just in iran but also at home that is donald trump announces he wants to strike a new agreement with turan 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 dangerous action makes iran's nuclear program now more likely to be resumed president as strengthen the hardliners in iran and iran may go back to pursuit of highly enriched uranium and ultimately a nuclear weapon and now we're off to an arm church in the most volatile part of the world. well on tuesday donald trump officially announced washington is dumping the iran nuclear deal struck by the obama administration trump has long been describing the agreements as one of the worst deals ever made america says it didn't cover iran's ballistic missile program nor its perceived malign activities in the region so now washington is putting the screws on companies doing business with iran is bushel reports. sanctions of back iran probably doesn't care much it's had them in one shape or other for for decades washington shooting itself in the foot surely not.

the youth and way over ten billion euro of stuff to run 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 and between 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 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 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 the liberties jobs jobs jobs no more

future deals go on existing contracts scrapped u.s. workers on your bike who take their place iran's already struck billion dollar deals with russian playmakers. china's all over iran like a rush huge energy deals you roll roads 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. and bush reporting now a man who was violently escorted out of a senate hearing and detained on wednesday has been released walking out of the call 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. was. resisted. my there are many respects. stop resisting. that is stop her don't you know you don't judge. mcgovern was charged with resisting arrest and disrupting congress was stunned so you 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 he was sort of sort of diffident about it you know to say we'll 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 there's this seventy. us democrats

are losing support ahead of november's midterms us and coding to a recent poll auntie's correspondent office 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.k.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 secretary says she is 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. existence 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 have bought innocent people and rock bearing gas on them

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 opposed donald trump simply on donald trump ordered a missile strike against the assad regime in syria i support president trump's use of american military power of 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 antiwar 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 that cruise missiles keep them safe and that america first should refer to military strength and our t. new york. times taking on the opioid epidemic has become one of the goals of the current u.s. administration following a spike in deaths in recent years and part of the plan is to make it harder for doctors to prescribe. 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 for 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 it da must set

phase 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 is 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 think it 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 with 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 coping 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 both 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 that before the v.a. grants a license to a physician 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 so mary kom with that report math as a social media adds with an edge links to russia have been released in the u.s. we'll have a look at them and their significance to just off the bat. 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 safer a dubious claim closer to the truth just probably attempted force regime change in iran. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion

from the families it's the age of the shaper money kill you their own lives and spending two to twenty million at one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy like great so what will chance for. the think's going to. well again now u.s. democrat lawmakers have released thousands of social media ads with alleged links to russia in a bid to explain how the kremlin was supposedly seeking to sow discord in america during the twenty sixteen presidential election with more his more against the.

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 view 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 is a surprise a blue lives matter post black versus blue sea by

a grand total of no one 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 cat g.'s 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 done to 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 the us media is responding to a viral facebook post from an african american doctor who says she was discriminated

against on a flight she. says when the flight attendant yelled for a physician on board she raised her hand but it was rejected you know how much the russians spent in 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 from others but 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 put down every year after being used in experiments on food poisoning scientists use them to investigate diseases such as talk so post mosis and after the experiments even healthy cats were

allegedly killed justin goodman vice president of the white coat whites project claims this is been going on for decades been doing it for nearly fifty years straight your one hundred year comes directly from the approved application for the very project that were criticized it says and there are numerous times that they plan to use one hundred kittens 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 moved out of their documents well after all this is coming the u.s. department of agriculture finds itself under fire it says it didn't consider 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 diseases spread justin goodman again says the cats posed no danger. it is absolutely false and untrue

what the u.s.d.a. 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 that area medical association and the association for very medical colleges as well as lots of other authorities all say that cats who have this parasite are perfectly safe to have in your house the government agencies 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. and that is your news wrap for this hour here in r.t. don't forget where you can keep yourself updated saying on our site for media pages and you tube channel.

merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. for the real new. world. 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 housefull valiantly stated my moral compass is strong 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 really he wouldn't ask you. i would bring back waterboarding and i'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding. sorry geno we just don't trust your topsy-turvy with glee wildly moral compass because unlike most us senators and all

of congress we are watching the hawks. good looking. good looks like. it would be. as we get to the bottom. like you that i got. this. week so let's. go to the what's the harks right i wrote her up and down after a while it was you know darn geno as if money has also tell you that even he noticed the cia treated out yet this. picture of her. about girl power let's get girl power in the cia and i had a big the m o g for a man.
