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 street in truth to stand up business is just the dance the right questions and the right

answer. questions. i get also in the headlines they don't trump has apparently admitted that crimea is rightfully part of russia that's according to online news outlet buzz feed the comments reportedly came during last week's g. seven summit in canada smear a con as the story. according to buzz feed trump told leaders at the g. seven summit that crimea is russian because everyone speaks russian there on the second day of the summit truck made a few comments in regards to russia saying it used to be the g eight before russia

was taked out and he also called for russia to be reinstated saying that they should be at the table so that they can solve the world's problems together naturally some leaders were opposed to this including mccrone and merkel but first some background crimea joined russia after a referendum was held were almost ninety seven percent of the population voted to join russia and international observers were present this for a referendum but it's pretty big that this is all coming from a u.s. president so we'll just have to see what happens with time once his spokesperson serves on his decline to expand on it. power aware of any comment like that i know it's been reported but i'm not going to comment on a private conversation i wasn't part of that i don't have information on. the series of terror attacks in paris on the thirteenth of november twenty fifth in a still so fresh in the minds of so many people that the assault on the theater in

particular has been a source of confusion and public debate since eighteen families of lawsuits now against the government over how it responded on that tragic night charlotte to burns who spoke to attorneys of the families with one of them making a surprise revelation to r t. one of the darkest moments in morton french history series of coordinated terror attacks across paris one hundred eighty people killed ninety of those at this point in music. while the taro was unfolding inside the battle plan outside what eight soldiers from tear up trolls the parliamentary inquiry later revealed that they were told not to intervene moreover they were also the people giving their weapons to the police sticking rigidly to army protocol. now eighteen families of victims have

filed a lawsuit against the french state demanding answers. only led they. they were described in the media as the force specially created against the threat of terrorism so why was this force which had the chance to intervene was told not to get up if the soldiers had entered the battle a lot night or if they had given their weapons over to the police how might that have changed what happened on the heretical night in paris said what question or one answer is why it took two and a half hours for the order do not gauge to be given when the officers were there from the beginning. the army however insists the soldiers had taken all measures possible securing the area around the battle and protecting the fleeing victims the military intervened spontaneously they arrived where police were already present

the military secured areas around the battle plan in coordination with and at the request of the internal security forces but now one of the lawyers representing the victims' families has made a startling claim to r.t. saying that the allegations come from a member of the gendarmerie who wants to remain anonymous. on the minds of the bads a clan a tank there was a squadron of gendarme assigned to protect the house of then prime minister valves this squadron was alerted immediately deployed to the site with assault rifles they entered the battle and extracted the hostages a woman and they were able thanks a lot ostrich to get information about the situation well the other hostages are inside and then this twenty six man squad don't receive a very curious order they were told to stand down what are you and he claims there was also another unit ready and equipped with emergency medical supplies but they

also not deployed. if this equipment had been available to help the. the decision to intervene was being taken it's possible people would have survival to go on surely the question about this operation center now and its role is why have we spend so much money only. just the political masquerade to make people believe that. when we clearly see people were massacred with kalashnikovs just a few meters from this unit and there they had terrorists in this site or some but were told not to pull the trigger not see has asked the police to respond to these allegations so far no response has been forthcoming but these are questions that the families of some of the victims at the vatican want on sustain they want to know what happened that night and what more could have been done to help help their

loved ones so that people skate party paris. the united nations has held an emergency session on the saudi led offensive in the yemeni port city of her data the ground operation there is the largest so far enough for a yearlong yemen conflict now a groups are saying it's going to worsen even more the countries die humanitarian crisis in saudi arabia and says the goal is to remove the rebels from home and bring it back to legitimate rule polly boy has more on the u.n. meeting. well this closed door u.n. security council meeting was held at britain's request after the saudi led coalition there launched a full scale attack on the port of data the saudi led coalition wants to wrestle back control of the strategically important port but the problem is that yemen has been suffering as a result of the civil war for some three years now and the concern is that this new offensive is going to make the situation in yemen even worse although for many it's

hard to imagine how it could get any worse the war there is already described as the planet's worst humanitarian disaster and aid agencies have been sounding the alarm throughout this conflict but they are particularly alarmed by what's happening now how data happens to be the port where seventy percent of yemen spewed in supplies come through and the u.n. and the red cross have had to withdraw their staff from the port city and a full scale attack on her day to put even more yemenis at risk of starvation and it could force hundreds of thousands of people from their homes as well as aid organizations are warning so it was britain that called this meeting the foreign secretary boris johnson had tweeted earlier that yemen is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and that he brought together key international partners to stress the need for humanitarian access and a political solution but what boris johnson didn't mention in that tweet is that

the u.k. is practically saudi arabia best friend on the world stage especially when it comes to the arms trade the british government has licensed over four point six billion pounds worth of weapons to saudi forces since the war started back in twenty fifteen and about sixteen thousand yemeni civilians have died since twenty fifteen when the saudi led coalition first started bombing iranian backed who the rebels their campaign is in the u.k. say the. this isn't about a u.n. security council meeting what's needed is a change in policy from the u.k. government and there are questions over whether a security council meeting or a number of them can achieve anything while the u.k. continues its policy of arming the saudis. the winner of the iraqi parliamentary elections whose been supported by washington has announced that he's creating a coalition with pro iranian forces looks as caleb maupin explains that's not quite

the development the u.s. was hoping for them. top al saud are the iraqi cleric whose bloc won most of the seats in the recent parliamentary election has now announced he's willing to form a coalition government with an iranian backed militia so much for washington's hopes that he could be used to counter terror ron's influence he can be irrational because better than the iranians taking over what a let down for all those american media outlets and think tanks that held al assad or as a new hope for iraq and more importantly a potential ally against iran that's interesting because if you wind back the clock george w. bush said that he was an enemy of democracy for a long time his brigades were actually killing us troops let's not get stuck in the past we are very well aware. of our all solder and his background and his positions now yes now it might have been a sign that the long time pro or reigning in cleric was changing his tune when he did some international traveling and met with the saudis but that was just smoke

and mirrors at this point outsiders aligning himself with a cleric who is so pro or reining in that he actually fought for iran during the iraq iran war this is another fail in washington's effort to roll back to iran's influence. very very concerned about increased terrain and influence in iraq president obama with through our forces there and it makes it much more difficult to calculate the growing iranian influence in iraq we must also do what we can to limit the extent of our reigning in the influence in iraq now the first prime minister after the us invasion ibrahim al jaafari he ended up being very friendly to iran now as foreign minister he speaks very highly of relations good relations between there on the rock the results for both countries and in practice they have proved to be in the interest of both countries the second prime minister now the vice president al malaki was supported by washington but he ended up being very

friendly to iran too and after my. he went down the new guy also couldn't resist iran's friendly gestures alibi he is also friendly to the islamic republic next door or what do you have the us has. invested in terms of life money. any kind of political military for was eventually the best interest of iran it was a stupid thing and they realize that the war against iraq has benefits primarily. iran now the usa is adamant that it wants iranian influence out of iraq however its efforts are proving to be rather futile now there is one iraqi leader with a very good record of fighting the iranians his name is saddam hussein and he is long gone now it turns out that when you just straight country you also create a vacuum and somebody is going to fill that vacuum even if it's somebody that you

don't like cable r t new york. russian schoolteacher was facing a big backlash after posting swimsuit pictures of herself on social media and he said she was therefore bringing professions disrepute but then of the blue a groundswell of support sprang to a defense. yes
