the torture to see the graphic and to tale heart run the in terry walling market does nothing short of banging someone's head into a war in the water treatment that's one of boarding condemned by all manner of nations because it was practiced by the japanese general or to war crime and so to see this kind of thing revealed in gory detail the only solace i get from this is the fact that our system of law sometimes works and that is that the national security archive that did a freedom of information request for this got these details. thousands have gathered in yemen to mourn and bury dozens of children killed in a saudi led coalition air strike that hit a school bus last week the incident kasha and your condom day combination from around the world. i don't know yet. but.

earlier local children and their mothers gathered outside the u.n. offices in the capital city demanding an end to the conflict they carried banners and chanted slogans against the saudi campaign which is targeted who see held areas of yemen un call for an independent investigation into the incident just a warning you may find some of the following images upsetting.

in the official statement riyadh defended the coalition's actions saying the strike was executed in compliance with international law saudi arabia launched its bombing campaign against her three rubbles in yemen whom it considers to be terrorists back in two thousand and fifteen this most recent attack has troubled many across the globe including the u.s. defense secretary james mattis i have dispatched a three star general in to riyadh to look into what happened here and if there's anything we can do to preclude this in the future. the united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis it also provides targeting assistance for riyadh air strikes and military operations last year saudi arabia paid seven hundred fifty million dollars to american specialist for training it said was meant to reduce civilian casualties. we cannot go live to independent political analyst dan glazebrook now riyadh says that this strike was legitimate what do you make of that statement. well just just shows the disgusting to

orwellian. nature of the way the propaganda is running the moment of saudi arabia and of course we mustn't forget not just the us who is training militarily the saudis but the british are involved in training the saudis and have been for for many many decades and they seem to have adopted. the british ruling class is absolutely. hypocritical and ridiculous use of use of language such that they can actually target a bus full of children most of whom under ten by the way these of primary school children on the way back from a picnic they can target a bus like that and claim that this is legitimate and in line with humanitarian law what kind of humanitarian law allows you to target bus falls of ten year old children so it shows they're taking their advice seriously from their british and american mentors who've been speaking this kind of ludicrous and disgusting

double speak for four years as well but it doesn't change the reality on the ground that this was completely legitimate as if this entire war is completely illegitimate. hardihood the war the whole war is based on the idea that president hadi is the legitimate ruler of yemen this is a man who's not even been able to step foot in a country he's so hated him for several years now. his term ended in twenty sixteen anyway so there's nothing legitimate about him all those people who claim to be destroying the country and him acting was fast becoming close to a genocide against the country supposedly in order to restore this legitimate rule that legitimacy is is not a word you could connect with the forces attacking and killing this aggression upon yemen right now far from it in fact legitimate let's think about this word legitimacy who is really the legitimate in this in this side you've got it on one

side you've got a ten country coalition ten of the region's strongest players backed by nato effectively the most powerful military alliance in the world with british and american bombs british and american planes british and american trained pilots dropping those bombs from those planes you've got all of this force stacked against this single movement with no outside support whatsoever the answer our movement that for three years has resisted heroically this ferocious onslaught who had and still maintains despite all of this maintains control of the vast majority of the populated areas of yemen that to me did prove the legitimacy beyond anything that the so-called internationally recognized government of yemen could claim or their supporters now more and more were hearing calls from u.s. officials to stop supporting the saudi led coalition in the war in yemen is it possible that the u.s.

could change its stance on the conflict. well i think the war in yemen really is the is the vietnam of this generation reality will force a change but unfortunately morality won't a bus full of under ten's being butchered will not change the stand of the us the resistance on the ground will ultimately change the stand of of the us i mean brutal and disgusting as this latest massacre is the reality is that at least one hundred thirty children. have been being killed by this war every single day that's according to save the children not necessarily for direct airstrikes but through the famine conditions that have been imposed on the country as a result of the war as a result of the deliberate targeting and this is well documented by the aggressive by the aggressor forces the deliberate targeting of agricultural infrastructure of key transport infrastructure necessary to moving supplies around the country. and

of course the block the blockade that arbitrarily stops key supplies going into the country. any time worse than that that's been ongoing for for over a year this this shocking figure of one hundred thirty children per day dying as a result of the aggression but worse than that they are now trying to take the battle to hold data pour itself now data port is the lifeline for the country the country is dependent for ninety percent of its food medical supplies and fuel on imports and at least three quarters of those come through her data poor so that by taking to the fight to her data that agents of aid agencies have been warning for years they're actually taking the fight to her data could potentially put those eight million people who are right now already starving in yemen could actually cut them off and wipe them out altogether and impose a massive famine on the country and yet they're so desperate that they're willing

to contemplate and they're willing to. do that and this is a u.s. and british directed war let's not forget the wiki leaks last year a review of the crown prince bin soundman actually said he wanted out of the war but he understands that his regime survival is dependent on u.s. and british support and the order of the day from his british and american backers is you must continue and win this war by any means necessary even it seems genocide and the reason it's so important the reasons those are his instructions because yemen is must be understood yemen is the most populous country in the arab peninsula and for a majority of people on the arab peninsula a yemeni and therefore the only country that could possibly challenge saudi had germany in the region and saudi germany is the lynchpin of not only u.s. control of the middle east but the global role of the dollar as well if there's a hutu victory and throw a victory in yemen the saudis believe that could potentially shake their control of

the entire region and that could bring about a collapse of the dollar so the stakes are very very high so the u.s. will not change course of its own will but the resistance may ultimately force that change as it did in vietnam. glazebrook independent political analyst thank you so much for your time see evening. donald trump has announced a former aide on twitter after she revealed a tape which she claims as a recording of her being fired. omarosa manigault newman also accused the president of having no clue about what was going on in the white house trump though says she was just a bad employee she begged me for a job tears in your eyes i said ok people in the white house hated her she was vicious but not smart i would really see are but her really bad things nasty to people who would constantly miss meetings and work when general kelly came on board he told me she was a loser nothing but problems i told him to try working it out of possible because she only said great things about me until she got fired. our washington

correspondents american explains what sparked the tit for tat showdown between president trump and his former aide well trump's former aide omarosa newman who gained fame on trump's reality show the apprentice has now landed up in controversy with her ex boss ever rosa oh rosa man i got a new image all rosa secret recording reality star turned white house aide is she a whistleblower or is she a fame junkie newman was fired towards the end of twenty seventeen and then she began writing a memoir about her time working in the trump white house which is set to release this tuesday now in her book she called her former boss a racist a bigot and a massage miss and then she had a lot of things to say about the administration as well check it out this is a white house where everybody lies the president lies to the american people sarah huckabee stands in front of the country and lies every single day you have to have your own back because otherwise you'll look back and you'll see seventy knives in

your bag cording to trump however she begged him for the job but newman is telling quite a different story as she does the rounds on mainstream media sharing private white house recordings with the entire country in one of them trump a surprise that she's been fired but she claims he's not the one pulling the strings the second audiotape is a recording of her getting fired in the situation room let's take a quick look but as you could is the president is with nowhere to go it's not the down the road this isn't going to go she will discussion but many are now trying to figure out how she recorded her firing and what's supposed to be the most secure room and all of the white house.

and this believe it or not even has a former staffer scratching their heads i've never heard of a more serious breach of protocol not only is it not typical something like this is unprecedented no proper employee of the white house brings funds into to seach ration room it's totally privet it as someone who spent a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to wrap my head around how insane this is if omarosa carried for example

a cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations that but so potentially has any country or criminal organization that thought to hack a phone it's no wonder the media always cites leaks and anonymous sources at least now we can check off what. a suicide bomber has doesn't need that explosives at the office of the electoral commission in the afghan capital people had gathered there to protest the disqualification of multiple candidates running in parliamentary elections local journalists felt on fizzy reports from kabul. some of the supporters of those candidates who were disqualified from to run for the parliamentarian elections they were they were gathering in a nearby the independent election commission headquarters a suicide bomber according to police tried to approach the gathering but detonated his explosive ahead of approaching the gathering and they killed himself and one

other from from this of aliens who were nearby also killed two others wounded but this you know the protests against are you see or elect independent electoral commission all the presidential palace actually has been taking place since a week almost yesterday we had another protest and a gathering that some m.p.'s who are accused of being and. having responsible man protested. the same way and they were accusing the government of. the process and they were angry and actually this process has been continuing today we had another one in a different place so we are expecting that it will it will actually take. take place more of these kind of events because it's the first in the afghan election

history. recommended. meanwhile the city of boston which is about one hundred fifty kilometers southwest of the capital is facing some of the fiercest clashes between taliban and afghan forces i fish the reports say hundreds have been killed on both sides so again as more details on the newest taliban threat facing the afghan government minister of interior said. confirmed the death of seventy security forces. in battlefield two with the taliban in gaza that has been taking place since four days but also i have. heard from some local sources in gaza need that taliban actually are now with rolling from those locations that have been committing. attacks against. various government is solutions since for days this situation is

actually really harsh and the hospital is full of dead bodies and and wounded and i have seen fresh footage from gaza that is telling lots of stories inside the city people are really scared and the highways have been blocked since for days that communication has been down and people cannot communicate with their relatives or we even could not talk to the more our local officials or residents in gaza need it has been a very harsh time for gaza it has been like a waltz to city but the government is now saying that they are trying to expel the taleban and they are trying to secure the city but we will see what will happen next recent studies say that taliban forces control or have influence in more than forty percent of afghan territory middle east expert ali risk says america's campaign there has not only failed but is actually boosted extremism called war on

terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks as this war has turned out to be an utter failure it was in a stronger position than it ever was ever since it was ousted from power but i think the u.s. can do anything if it continues with its own focus just on military attacks you know militarily speaking it hasn't succeeded so i don't think there is much that the u.s. can do in that regard i think it's proof that the u.s. has been pursuing a wrong strategy in defeat. terrorism on the contrary i think that the u.s. involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has led to the growth of terrorism and sort of leading to the alter the curbing of terrorism i think that is clear from what we see in afghanistan. packing contest in the us has revealed that it doesn't take a top notch russian computer expert to get into america's election infrastructure

it turns out an eleven year old can do it in their trunk or has the details. learn more about the twenty hacking contest that's what the link says and yes it's from a real website and the contests are real too it's for kids and it's not being held in russia what this is america anyway meet the winner eleven year old audrey they need. to be me we can call them the our own name in mind we won the election and it just took her ten minutes to hack a replica of an election office website in one of the battleground states. these are members of congress they work hard to approve budget grants to sort out election cyber security the one for twenty saying was three hundred eighty million bucks these are child hackers i mean contestants they tap their keyboards to prove that within minutes america's election systems are

a piece of garbage thirty five out of the thirty nine youngsters taking part this year were able to do just that so how come there haven't been any warnings for a grown up specialists well actually there have always been the voting machine is eighteen different states and it's extremely easy to get an advantage because this is mostly so let me show you how quick it is that a little under two minutes. you don't need any totals to do that. and now i have. full advantage it looks like you don't have to turn pro to be a meddling master and outsmart security efforts worth hundreds of millions of dollars don't bother guessing hold be the ones to take advantage come november we've already been told many times there's no doubt russian hackers ahead of the

midterm they know it was arrogant and security of. the russians are targeting members of congress famous. midterm elections are just around the corner and russia's attack continues to haunt the united states russian election interference in the twenty eight hundred midterms the russians have not reduced their hacking it's even the first thing the prodigy's at the conference will tell you that there was a bill which could also be a great excuse when someone asks the suits why the systems vulnerable to say the least by the way when the good will hackers look back at their previous conference they wrote if russia can attack our election so can others iran north korea isis or even criminal or extruding this groups because let's face it if hacking an american election is child's play perhaps it's time the guys in charge did their homework on where the real threats are that's our breakdown of the day's top stories but don't

forget you can always head to our website r.t. dot com the details on all of that and mark. ah. i.

hear. that will be controlled by. any government. building economists. welcome to soviet. never not say he won oscars stalled in globes his films are cult classics part of american consciousness now all over stone's latest project was to film an extensive series of interviews with russia's ludmer putin. i caught up with

the director himself to talk about the experience my over sounds great have you with us today if you're having a great trip in moscow has just got here so your book competitor extensive interviews with is published by you called the putin interviews for day to day shows climax to my strange life as an american filmmaker climax your career oh this is the best thing you've ever done. you know i have to take the point of view that it could be the last film too you never know time is seems more precious when you get a little bit older and as a filmmaker it's a very young profession you know and very fit and america especially coming goes fast you don't get off in another chance so i felt like this was a kind of a climax not that it's a feature film but that it's the most safe at this time in history the most forbidding character to american media tumeric and western europe too i think

forbidding kind of. cross into that into another world i'm glad i got here i mean i did mr castro and i did mr chavez i did mr arafat's and also as a yahoo as a character when he was out of office back when he was out of office he's now in power forever it seems but these characters all led me to this moment with mr putin . anna frankly i enjoyed the meeting him i met him originally on the at the on one of my trips to russia because i was interviewing snowden a lot we were doing research with ed and a lot of the movie and soden was represents what ad this point of view was so getting that information took time and we came back and we're trying to be accurate the last scene of the movie was shot in moscow so after

a by one i met mr putin which is in the back room of a theater in the moscow a play an old like hundred sixty s. play he was attending to promote folkloric culture. we met in the back and i asked him about mr snowden and he gave me the russian version his version of what happened which was fascinating different than what we had been told in the public newspapers and so forth but anyway long telling the story quickly is getting back to the end of the movie if snowden we shot in moscow to a weekend with with ed and then we turned around a few days later we went to the kremlin and we shot mr putin over three days and. at that time we didn't know if this would go on it was simply you know take it as it comes like you're doing and play it by ear it was spontaneous i gave melissa quick questions i was areas that i was going to cover but it wasn't limited he

didn't say i was totally spontaneous i didn't have any limitation on the way to us and as you can see every day i look different he was always the same he looked very together i would sometimes. play who was blowing in the wind. i guess i changed appearances several jobs but. in other words i'm the opposite of american anchor i don't look like megan kelly i will look like you even. sam that's a compliment. i know what kind of great effort it takes to get that kind of access but. that's not easy i mean a lot of russian journalists and top journalists don't get that kind of access right and i know how much effort it took you to make this happen and make it come together and then the minute this comes out it was so talked about in russia and obviously the whole american press right away lashed out at you saying yourself flattering to certain that you're about entry or just want to do you care to get

under under your skin because that's a lot of work you did with putting it was a lot of work but i didn't consider my i never said i was a journalist and i didn't pretend to be what i well that this is a book. a movie a film director you know me from the films and you may know me from some of the past interviews i did with the public figures but i'm not pretending to be anything else i know you said in response that you know you don't have an opinion about anything that you're doing that you're nurture all well the opinions of james because then i'm talking about the putin movie but at the same time i watched a series you said a lot of flattering things about you know do you feel like you manage to stay objective and neutral. i don't i don't and i think if you see the movies i do it's not the high try to stick to what i feel is the truth and i don't take i didn't say one false word to mr p. at all i did say what i meant when i said it when i said to him and one of the i think one of the first things i said was it strikes me that you're this you're

a son of russia because when you came into the country at a time when it was just in the dumps it was one nine hundred ninety nine two thousand the place was a mass. the real economic story and what you did was you turned things around no one can take that away from you and i think that's one of the reasons he's still popular is that because he brought a sense of place destiny a sense that we we are russian we have much to be proud of we have a history and he really is certain the concept of a sovereign country which was crucial because russia was not a sovereign country from approximately ninety one two to two thousand it was losing that sovereignty completely the united states was and other people were walking all over the place and basically monitoring whatever they want and they were all over the the nuclear certainly in the clear industry but look the point is that putin gave russia something that is really important in this world and we can get back to

that because that's the bottom line is we need an anchor in the world we need a resistance to exist to the call of the dominion of the united states i know that you know on talk about politics but this is a very happy type of question you have sighted people. who have done movies cost chavez putin i mean this are strongman you know obviously have attraction to strongman do you feel like this is diffused here of politics leaders like that they're very strong uncompromising. very controversial in many ways or should politics be about dialogue and political correctness well it is about the long term and these men all were open to dialogue and you can argue who did who said what to who but the point was that castro tried to negotiate with the united states for a long time and he was rebuffed not only was your buff he was insulted and then they tried to assassinate him many times so you know where what is dialogue dialogue is important and mr chavez certainly had a point of view he was if you remember he shook obama's hand he really has hoping

that there was going to be a new approach from the united states didn't happen so it is about dialogue it's about compromise politics and above all if i. give you an overall opinion of mr putin he said he's the ultimate negotiator you wear you out he really believes in talking out everything there's no there are certain points of interest for every country has its national interests and he constantly hearts on this russia has its national interests and he's open to the go to negotiating anything but those national interests and when you cross the line. he will let you know as you know i pushed him whatever people say i pushed him and certainly i could feel his irritation when i was pushing him hard on the democracy question on this the question of his succession and what's going to happen next year there were times i riled him more than once.
