there is a risk when attending anything that's where the i.d.f. is kristen fast claims she was first hit in the stomach while standing with her hands raised and later in the same week while leaning against the wall shot in the ankle were rubber coated steel bullets are seen as non-lethal the injuries they inflict can be severe particularly when fired at close range the forty three year old norwegian activist has been supporting palestinian protesters in what they describe as occupation of their land by israel. the israeli army told r.t. that force that had been standing among rioters at the time who'd been violent towards its soldiers it says it will investigate faso selves as the palestinians are being subjected continually to violence scenes nearly one hundred people have been short ribs in live ammunition over the years. hundreds have been shot by these bullets that i was shot with. skunk water into their houses but they're not getting

any attention. to what is happening and share it with a rolled and hopefully some more some real you know you get some attention on them . the u.k. is women's minister victoria atkins has been criticized by l. g.b.t. activists after expressing concern over the rising number of children now wishing to change their gender i read in the paper recently there has been a large increase in the number of teenagers who are identifying a search and i think we need to get down to the reasons why this is happening it may simply be a case of greater awareness it may be that they see it as an answer to questions they are perhaps not asking themselves. well transgender issues are increasingly being raised in the u.k. with initiatives being launched to recognise the country that the community has rights one recent example is at scotland's edinburgh university where new students

are being encouraged to wear badges with the words he she all they indicating how they want to be referred to the campaign is being run by the university's student union as part of an effort to avoid so-called mis gendering however it says students should not use the term preferred pronouns emphasizing that it's not a preference but a necessity we debated the issue with l.g. bt activist peter tatchell and radio talk show host and. trans people do not choose to be trans they don't make this decision about gender reassignment really very very serious long protracted thought and it is often agonizing they face often rejection by their parents being thrown out of home and very high rates of suicide and attempted suicide so this is not a decision that a young person takes lightly and if they make the decision but they feel that they

are one gender or another i think we should respect that i don't think it's a big deal to it's about common decency just about being kind and compassionate to other people so i don't i agree with that but part of same token they should respect our rights to have a different view and when you talk about this this is always brought there than about trans and serious sides it isn't because they're struggling with the fact they think they're in the wrong body that légion generally to the serious side it's after when they realise they've made a dreadful mistake which is why the woman the minister the education minister is right to say we need to look out why more and more young people are trying to go through this we need to look at why puberty brought king drugs are being handed out like smarties they don't know their own mind i agree with you peter it must be agonizing to needs time ministry thought about and they need to be of an age where they know that they are in the wrong body not giving them out to six year old eight

year olds and ten year olds and you know that sat in peter and it's wrong let's be reasonable if somebody feels they are you know being assigned the wrong gender they're in the wrong body i have enormous sympathy for them but we shouldn't be kind of i don't really want to use this word but encouraging it which is what our edinburgh university is doing well no one is encouraging them and nor should anyone encourage them this is a call that's coming from the young people themselves whatever bar university is doing. if they have said people can change once one day to the next that's quite clearly absurd but you know what if the purpose of these badges is just to raise awareness and in particular to make transfusions and their friends and allies feel comfortable safe and accepted i don't think that's a terrible thing i think it's just a common human decency to be current i know that perfectly reasonable have made this decision what's not reasonable add on

a minute where universities are trying to tell lecturers it happened at university of toronto of course famously with jordan peterson where they totally had she not use things like hello ladies and gentlemen hello boys and girls they had to fit into these new pronouns if they want to say today i'm a man tomorrow arm a boy the next hour my fridge freezer so that but i don't have to fainter i don't want to get into a situation where i have to change pronouns i have to change the english language for a minority of very small minority they are attacking my freedom of speech my freedom of expression trans people are reality they have existed since time immemorial who are throughout history i think the fact that there are more people coming forward is because there is greater social understanding and acceptance the stigma and guilt is fading away that issue has been discussed more openly and that is why more people are coming forward an event of violence trans but it's still

a tiny tiny minority a minority that is no threat to anyone and i think we should live and let live and except that people who are different for whatever reason including because the gender identity that they have a place in the human family. russian president vladimir putin has intervened in a roué of a hike in the retirement age in that country story and more often this very short break.

what holds as. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or interim. or somehow want to be. that you'd like to be this is what before three of them all the people that i'm interested always in the water. there should. welcome back now the russian president vladimir putin has intervened in iraq whatever hiking there were time and age in the country saying it should be

increased by the same number of years for both men and women alive now twenty three goshdarn are full more than they are good to see you can you tell talk us through the proposal well nick you first and foremost this reform has become a very divisive topic sparking a lot of concern i mean this is understandable it's an in very very sensitive subject to literally every single russian citizen so what happened for those who were following a couple of months ago the russian government put forward their proposal suggesting basically a hike in the retirement age for men by five years and for women by eight now that was what caused a lot of controversy and so now russian president has laid out his vision have a listen to a bit of what he had to say. but it isn't going to because the draft bill proposes raising the retirement age for women by eighty years to sixty three and for men by five years this is not right we can't for women in russia the retirement age for

women shouldn't be raised more than for men that's why i proposed raising it only by five years. well this was pretty much of the biggest change the russian president has put forward compared to what the russian government had in mind and well in general i should say well he also talked a lot about how the rights of those who are approaching their retirement age should be protected by law for example the russian president suggested that those companies who refuse to hire or at all fire people approaching retirement age well they should be. which they should face criminal or administrative charges and well in general the russian president defended the reform and he does he's doing so because he is saying that well if things remain unchanged then well for the next five or ten years everything will be fine but then the pension system of russia will just collapse according to vladimir putin and the reason for that is the

demographic gap a massive demographic gap russia suffered back in the ninety's and so why these ten years are important is that in a decade from now the balance between the number of working people and retired people would tip significantly in the in favor of those who have retired so there won't be enough tax money to pay out the pensions to everybody who had who will have retired by then let alone index them to compensate for inflation well a lot of these are pretty much the main outtakes from vladimir putin speech that lasted for about half an hour and another interesting thing about it is that world this reform is arguably one of the most unpopular initiatives of the past couple of decades and sold now lattimer putin is valid for it personally so a lot of people here see it as a bit of a political gamble for the russian president as r.t. dollar figure thank you for those details. now moving on

a german mother has sparked controversy by posting a video on facebook after finding out her son was one of only two german speaking kids in his kindergarten in the city of athens in it she says he feels like a foreigner. in the hope of mine is almost three months there are twenty five children in my son's group two of them speak german the others don't speak german at all is it integration of twenty three children have fun with each other while my son doesn't understand them and can't find any way to connect with them is it integration of my son has to adapt to them my son and i feel like foreigners here is that what you want to do your politicians is this integration that other children seemingly don't have to adapt because they understand each other and now my son has to adapt to these other children this is not integration dear politicians the parents of muhammad ali or whatever they're called to do not have to complain. well she also stressed that she is not blaming the children in the day

care center all the parents for the situation later she apologized for her comments but has learned not to delete the video because it went viral. have a commitment so i have course i didn't expect such a storm of reaction i made this video at a very emotional moment i just wanted to share my frustration and never expected two million people to watch it and i can only speak for myself it's a big problem in my city but many people have written to me and i learned that it's a countrywide problem not just regional of course i believe that integration is very important but my son has known for two najee to develop he should speak more german adapt to our culture and it doesn't work when there are almost no germans in the city has set this group up and mixed the children incorrectly and as a result will end up with lost children no one speaks german no one can integrate and this loss is on both sides i can see it in my son. well officials from the s. and kindergarten said that this is a special additional group created by the fifty due to the lack of places in

kindergartens and german they insist is still the common language on children just need time to adapt earlier we spoke to be john thomas solely from germany's left party he thinks that the mother should look at this situation from another angle and consider it as an advantage. she has a very narrow minded approach and i don't want to judge sure but i don't know whether she has experienced other cultures and i think that's where her son who's going to this could not go as an advantage because he gets to know other cultures and other languages and it early age that an opportunity that she apparently didn't get there's not only children who cannot go on this educators german educators as well and it's their role to teach the children german language and german culture but i think children can also learn from each other nowadays in germany we're not in a country where only one language is spoken on the streets and where we only have one

culture and one presume we have all different kinds of cultures and in twenty years when those children will be participating in the labor market thinks will have changed even more. well i think if you have something you'd like to say about any of our stories didn't get any touch and share your thoughts by following us on social media what about with the latest headlines in about thirty minutes two and is that if you can. it. was. good at. the time.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be all for the rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred free per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial plant but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only

boom but. not without that how can other than not out of the budget not out of the mouth of the money the daily planet actually. this was a good time to. try to move to the right about now my. son was a good little money not why not check jan egeland asan why is. standing in their own people we believe will be a. lot of i can say they're not them up with any video audio of the moment on account of mother having their little i'm a little white came down to the theme i don't want to put out in the.

ratings and salutation so. let's start today talk watchers in yemen the tragic war torn land that many in the u.s. news media of jones and to ignore or pretend doesn't exist despite the massive amounts of u.s. military assistance in arms that help devastate that country you see the united states has been supplying logistics intelligence and arms to the saudi arabian led coalition forces since their intervention against the who the rebels inside yemen began back in two thousand and fifteen this support went virtually unchecked or unnoticed by mainstream western news media and political figures until. mid august

when a coalition air strike targeted a bus carrying forty innocent yemeni children on a school field trip using a lockheed martin made us supplied missile and when confronted about the airstrike the saudis initially declare of the school bus was a legitimate military target. in response u.s. senator chris murphy a democrat out of connecticut tweeted out we just bombed a school bus we need to end this now and then a rare instance of a senator or a u.s. senator putting his bill where his tweets are murky actually sponsored an amendment to the latest defense appropriation bill that would have put key restrictions on us by mantle and other support for the saudi led bombing campaign would have being the key to words here because despite the massive amounts of casualties and devastation our bombs and logistics and caused including the forty dead children that didn't

stop u.s. senators led by so the richard shelby of alabama respectively killing senator murphy's amendment and as if to pour salt on these wounds of political cowardice and warmongering by senator shelby and his fellow fellow congressman less than twenty four hours after stopping murphy's bill dead another twenty six children were killed in an air strike in yemen last weekend i think it's time to start watching the hawks. that's. the bottom. like you know that i got. this.

welcome aboard the watch for the hawks like to roll and then capitalists showed the latest another airstrike hits another another school of mass. kills more children and were we seriously have to really like even think about the fact that we should stop. early if you're in the southern yeah especially if you're in the so it's like well. it's tragic but we shouldn't we shouldn't abandon our allies in saudi arabia even though they're killing children even though they're killing how does children with our hardware and our logistics and our help and our gasoline and our gas station to centrally but we're not involved we're not there we're not like we're not actually doing anything it's totally different so let's go for the good people out there this second airstrikes that wasn't really reported on the western media well no i guess there weren't enough images for you know anchors

to cry over. so this one was twenty two yemeni children and four women were killed in another airstrike as we said it was on thursday of last week and this was what's really sad about this whole situation is that these children and these women in this bus were trying to flee the fighting and they were trying to get out of one district into somewhere where they could actually get some kind of cover and be safe so people were taken risking their lives to get these children out of a war zone and they were literally had by a missile that would u.s. tax dollars paid for you know. this is the second time like you said this is the second time in two weeks that this saudi led coalition i feel like they're mercenaries at this point as a result in dozens and dozens and dozens of civilian lives and i think it's very hypocritical that when you're watching the mainstream media right now especially

like the big three that these are the same people who cried over every picture out of syria as if it was the under the world they've never seen and here's children have been starving to death and you don't notice till it's a school bus and it makes a good headline somehow yeah who does. disturber it's a good point about living this thing is how murphy's amendment what is so scary to them about you know taking a break so we know what's going on you know some of these you know basically came out and said it's mind blowing that this sort of decision you know to continue to be willing willingly participants in this no matter that they rejected it and destroyed as a member the sense of the moment would have cut off the united states' support for the saudi arabia led coalition's war in yemen until the secretary of defense certify that the coalition's air campaign is not violating international law and u.s. policy related to the protection of civilians the president saying the member would have made us follow the rules that made it was sort of like double check and say

hey are they actually following not only international rules but our own sort of rules when it comes to the you know the killing of civilians right going to rules for it by the way we have special rules for the killing we do we do we got to go to you know remind people not to kill innocent civilians but if they do they should do it in a certain way so it's nice and tidy right but what's interesting to what doesn't get talked about a lot of this to my right is also the you know the oil issue in yemen that kind of gets lost in all of this is that just how valuable the oil was to your oil reserves are right well i mean the whole point of of. this is not because there's they're so somebody but he's afraid of terrorists for sure there's some political thing and ideology this is about money and this is about getting hold of about port which is very valuable and getting hold of the oil that is that is in yemen so both oil price dot com and al-jazeera reporting that saudi arabia is planning already planning to build. to build an oil port in yemen and sources

from from al jazeera are reporting that saudi arabia is planning to build another all their oil poirot port in the country of south east where saudi and u.a.e. . troops are already there they're saying that you know when you look at her you have and this is like four billion gallons of oil which is great saudi arabia becomes you know this magical tourist land and they just turn yemen into an oil oh it's going to raise money and resources don't let them tell you otherwise every war is over money and resources. from the ongoing tragedy in yemen to the ongoing tragedy in syria but the reports that the syrian military is preparing to move on the last remaining terrorist and rebel strongholds in the northwestern syrian city of this week so more of accusations develop between the u.s. and russian military officials over the potential for yet another chemical weapons attack and who would ultimately be responsible for it are teeth and cohen has the

story. don't be distracted by ridiculous misinformation that's the advice from army colonel sean ryan the spokesperson for the u.s. led coalition to defeat isis to be distracted by ridiculous misinformation from r.t. the coalition is focused on defeat isis mission and we continue to work with. to secure the region in southern syria the article colonel ryan is warning against quotes the russian ministry of foreign affairs which claimed that militants loyal to be a slum mix state and the own nusra front have infiltrated the roup on refugee camp and that the u.s. is well aware of it what's unclear or perhaps distracting is which claim colonel ryan is taking issue with that there are jihadist elements inside camp or that the united states government is aware of their presence required a refugee camp is located in the region of south eastern syria where the u.s.

led coalition maintains a presence despite objections by the syrian government is one of the largest refugee camps in syria hosting tens of thousands of refugees of colonel ryan is claiming or to use a lying about the presence of jihadist militants he might want to check with the united nations in july a un security council warned about possible islamic state attacks from inside group on campus. the refugees and rip on campus been hit by four terrorist attacks three of which have been claimed by its law mix state. if colonel ryan doesn't believe the united nations perhaps he believed the u.s. his own ally here's what general sami cough one of the jordan border guard forces had to say we. know that some people or isis people in the inside of the camp as i said they could have been for them. to

create some sort of sims inside the kingdom of colonel ryan still maintains that the presence of islam mixtape fighters inside rookie camp is a russian conspiracy theory promoted by the united nations and jordan perhaps n.b.c.'s reporting might convince them otherwise to say so in the horrid least it's meant to be but the jordanian military pilots who took us in wouldn't fly over it and the isis fighters these people fled from our inside it reporting in washington dan cohen our t.v. . wow over and over i've seen this happen since i've been here at r.t. and it's one thing i just there is so much talk right now about reporters being you know that the journalists are the enemy of the people and there's so much of that going on and causing such division and here is someone literally going out there and saying that reporters on r.t. that we're all just a bunch of liars that we don't invest people literally risked their lives to cover

this story in syria people you know r.t. reporters and people are out there working for you know these are people ended up on this kill list in order to do their job and i would like to see just once these people act like adults and stop doing that to reporters because that is exactly how trump and everybody else gets to sit there and say oh the liberal media now we all do agree that just feeds into it it makes it easier it's a great point it's one of those things it's like syria is a mess it's a it's been a mess since this war started there are. there's very. early can you can you point to one side say oh there's accurate reporting over here and there's inaccurate reporting over here i mean that's a we're yes it's a confusing and messed up. the fact that like they're going to be like oh well they're spreading this propaganda but you've got like you know all these other budgeted outlets you know saying well you know yes probably isis of marilyn that's why we will fly over this and look at the area when you look at

a map and you see all of this red space and this is all clear in the only place where there are rebels or terrorists are in this one area and it's where the u.s. says and you're like what are you doing there right when you can tell very much to buy food at the end of the day that you could really see that look we've been giving we've been pour the u.s. been pouring so much arms and support into that country and everybody that we've been giving millet guns to has been flipping sides and going you know one minute they're good guys the next minute they're bad guys one minute they're out a terrorist watch list the next minute they're not then they're back on a dip you know it's impossible to know who is good and who is bad in that side of that conflict well it seems like whenever you know it works for the mainstream media obviously these major outlets since they get to control the whole narrative there and it's when it works for them yeah we see over and over. it was according to newsweek the just to point this out another rugby available source according to newsweek both the twenty seventeen attack in khan seiko and the two thousand and

thirteen attack and are considered unsolved unsolved in the eyes of the defense department and defense intelligence agency. and this is after secretary of defense james madison admitted the u.s. know it has no evidence that syrian government used there and in the attacks and we have robert says there's many reporters have been as and i think it's increased ratably dishonest to continue to pretend as if they have facts and they have all these sources and they don't give them to people it causes people their lives there's some people that it is going to break all. don't forget to let us know what you think of a proper cup of facebook and twitter as your poll shows r t v dot com coming up we talk buyouts with free speech and sports with the watkins and discover a new way to communicate with paid leave. to watch fox.
