terrorists opened fire on a military parade in southwest iran killing at least twenty eight people as the country marks the anniversary of its war with iraq. u.s. state department accuses the syrian government and its allies of helping extremists in the country we find out whether the claim stands up to scrutiny. and the mixed

martial arts champions of russia and ireland they are to face off in one of the biggest bounce in sports history. our broadcast live direct from our studios in moscow this is our to international and. to have you with us our iran has lashed out at three european countries for their policies on separatist groups in iran in the wake of a terrorist atrocity that's after four gunmen killed at least twenty eight people at the parade in the southwest city of on saturday now according to iranian state media tehran has summoned the ambassadors of the u.k. netherlands and denmark those three countries are being accused of failing to recognize the patriotic democratic movement was as terrorist movement the group claimed responsibility for the mass shooting which happened on. anniversary of the

iran iraq war tehran is also furious that a london based t.v. channel aired an interview with a spokesman for the terrorists right after the shooting and warning you may find some of following video of saturday's incident disturbing. he. knows she must we suddenly realised people wearing fake military outfits are attacking they can raise from behind the stage and then opened fire on women and children they were just a messy shooting around without a specific target. to know for terrorists who had brought their guns to the area and hidden them several days ago under cover as civilians to watch the parade then they went and picked up their guns and opened fire on people. in iran has seen frequent religious flare ups

since the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution the country's population is ninety five percent shia muslim and the separatist group claiming to be behind the shooting is sunni the iranian foreign minister was quick to blame foreign powers for supporting terrorism on iranian soil. terrorists recruited trained on didn't beat by a foreign regime have attacked. children and journalists among casualties iran holds regional terror sponsors and their us mostest accountable for such attacks iran will respond swiftly and decisively in defense of iranian lives i believe that i so wish or islamic state of iraq and eleven militant they are trying to take the oath portion of the the chance in order to you know. claim some kind of power this is been done by a law was a year. and established terrorist group it's known it's not an unknown

terrorist group it has long ties with the soul of the arabia for the past several years and they've done a number of. terrorist attacks in the same region of course on a much smaller scale and you know this group has given out a statement claiming that it is responsible all saudis have you know all very overt is with israel and the united states against iran despite the iranian foreign minister pointing the finger at the u.s. the state department has condemned the massacre in southwest iran and expressed solidarity with the country's people. president trump has delayed his own order to d. classified documents related to the russian collusion probe the files were expected to shed light on possible conflicts of interest involving f.b.i. and government officials. i met with the d.o.j. concerning the declassification of various unredacted documents they agreed to

release them but stated that doing so may have a perceived negative impact on the russian probe also key allies called to ask not to release therefore the inspector general has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis i believe he will move quickly on this and hopefully on other things which he is looking at in the end i can always declassify it if it proves necessary speed is very important to me and everyone on monday the president ordered the declassification of several pages of surveillance warrant on former campaign aide quarter page of the documents concerned former f.b.i. director james comey as well as other top former f.b.i. officials are he came up and has more on why the president put the documents hold release on hold rather. this delay comes in apparently he's waiting for the department of justice to review the documents before they are made available to the

public now this is quite a u.-turn from donald trump but when he initially spoke up he gave a very strong statement saying that he was going to make the documents from the probe very public that he had this authority as president we want transparency what i want is i want total transparency this is a witch hunt. republicans are seeing it that democrats know it's a witch hunt too but they don't want to admit it because it's not good politics for them but it's a terrible witch hunt and it turned our country and i want transparency and so does everybody else we should open it up for people to see now donald trump mentioned the democrats and trump was certainly under a huge amount of pressure from the democratic party many democratic leaders were strongly opposed to donald trump making public documents related to the bob muller investigation now we had adam schiff who is a high ranking member of the house select committee on intelligence he went as far

as to call this abuse of power to say that donald trump was acting completely inappropriate lee and harming the ability of the justice department to do its work now interestingly tensions are riding high in washington d.c. in relation to this probe into allegations that trump colluded with russia bob woodward a popular investigative journalist who wrote two books that were very popular in relation to the trumpet ministration he was being interviewed recently and in his radio interview he stated that in his two years and his two years of investigative work at no point did he find anything showing that donald trump had colluded with russia did you bob woodward here anything in your research in your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion i did it and of course i looked for it look for it hard now despite announcement on monday that these documents would be made public it appears that that decision is on hold the department of justice is now

reviewing the documents the bob mueller investigation continues with many people wondering what will come next and what exactly is the truth. political analyst daniel mccallum says the democrats' reluctance to see the documents declassified raises questions i find it very interesting what a panic the democrats the leading democrats in washington are in over this and not only that but as we know our closest allies are also panicking and they're certainly speculation as to who that might be is it the united kingdom is it the u.k. intelligence services who are all seem to be up to their neck at least in this in trying to discredit running the president but what is really going on here and i think it's really a fascinating thing it would be is an extraordinary. extraordinarily public view of i guess you call to the state and how it operates and how it can overrule the president in getting these things released. u.s.

state department is blaming the rise of terrorism in syria on the country's government and its allies r.t.c. or john of comments with syria there are a few things that have all international play is on the same page the fact that al qaeda prowse freely through parts of this country is one just like they should know more the debate is about how and who is allowed the terrorists to thrive in syria. over the past decade there are certain regimes permissive attitude towards al-qaeda and other terrorist groups fed the growth of al-qaeda i saw in affiliated terrorist networks inside syria washington pins the bling unequivocally on the force that has spent a large part of the past seven years and lost tens of thousands of men repairing the terrorist onslaught. when peace in syria blew to kingdom come in two thousand and eleven al qaeda was

busy from the get go and given the chance to oust the assad government a fact the us validated itself. al qaeda in iraq supported the syrian opposition from the beginning both ideologically and through the media al qaeda in iraq declared its opposition to assad's government because it considered it a sectarian regime targeting sunni's so let me recap al qaeda supported the syrian opposition washington also supported the syrian opposition when it comes to picking the company to entrench yourself with the us made the worst choice imaginable another assumption the new counterterrorism report makes is that syria made its board i think grand central station allowing al qaeda to run loose in and out of iraq except damascus wouldn't have much time to facilitate that for the most part it had no access cut off by the opposition from its own border syrian regime border

forces retreated from the border and the opposition forces took over the posts and raised their flag it wasn't until june last year when the syrian army began to recapture those parts of the country and it did so with the help of a rainy and pro-war rainy and forces who have proven to be a considerable power. but in the world of the u.s. state department iran give us and take it because apparently on its own soil it forces the same terrorists it kills in syria it's a crazy standing of reality and its head but this is very common in the united states rand is helping the syrians defeat these terrorists in their countries but the united states says iran is supporting al-qaeda it behooves the united states to say that iran is involved in this because this builds

a case against iran even though it makes no sense so the united states reports whatever needs to report to justify its foreign policy. denmark's state t.v. and radio network d r a has been criticised by the european public service broadcaster alliance over its decision to stop promoting multi-culturalism. together and we. bought it and. then my. d.v.r. says that the focus has been shifted to the values of democracy and free speech broadcaster also says its content will reflect the country's christian identity the changes were published by denmark's culture ministry with the support of parliament and most of what of that support comes from the anti immigration danish people's party as the second largest political force in the country has called on the state

broadcaster to reflect denmark's christian heritage the opposition though is unhappy with the new plants. i think it's an incorrect prioritization of conservative values it's another step towards a political agenda that doesn't want to integrate people and i former host of a religious program on told us the movie is all about reinforcing denmark's national identity. the previous guidelines also stated that christianity is part of his cultural heritage what is surprising it that they really stress in one war time because after my program closed down one religious program after the other has been shut down because chris and at sea and religion in general has not been prioritized with the immigration that the europeans and also the author of that they know has a problem to define their own identity if a culture is very based on its christin foundations and its christian faith it's

much easier for this society to integrate other people so i think that's why they want to stress it simply to strengthen the national identity which is very important in our time where there was so much division in the european societies. coming up we look ahead it to a clash of the titans in a world of mixed martial. arts the less angry and she. said well you know the deficit is. not even. there in the building it's on. in the in the right the fish we laugh about the high

line. and the the ugly duckling that was like come on out of the mud i don't worry about. you very much yes i want to have. received. a phone call from the dust like a lot of artificial stomach here going down on the was there any. you'll get a little warm and you know. that i had a. shot idea. of the. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past

each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back you're watching our to international and had with us now the founder of an aid group helping refugees in greece has surrendered to police he was one of several aid workers wanted for helping migrants illegally enter the country.

since two thousand and fifteen the greek island of lesbos has been a key gateway for migrants crossing to the e.u. this month alone more than fifteen hundred migrants have arrived there it can take authorities months to process their asylum applications and a. a report by a medical charity said the overcrowded conditions are leading to high levels of violence even child suicides the greek independent m.e.p. we spoke to says the illicit activities of certain organizations are contributing to the problem in the country various n.g.o.s actually facilitate the illegal entrance of immigrants in greece and this is something that has to be stopped because no we have at least twenty thousand. and refuges.

islands if they need then it's true but in the thought of clues to prosecute them there are certain. which are let's say the quote by ration with the with the european union and they have done this satisfactory job but there are many other n.g.o.s who its. own later on they consume their money but they don't do it in favor of. refugees we know this because i am a member of the budget control committee of the european parliament we could pay the visit as was and we have seen that the european funds say i've not been used properly i think it's time that the national authorities in front takes take some measures and this measures is the enforcement of the low. there are two weeks to go before one of the most anticipated ballots in the history of the ultimate

worlds apart it's become an international norm to assert that women's rights are human rights which in a world where women already make up the majority of university graduates may appear a bit redundant how much more women's empowerment needs to happen what gender specific policies to become and then that one is to discuss that i'm now joined by . united nations undersecretary general and executive director of the un women madam undersecretary general it's great to talk to you thank you very much for your time we are recording this interview on the sidelines of the eurasian women's forum which if it were dedicated exclusively to men's issues may have been perceived as sexist given how many accomplished high powered women have gathered here do you think we still need gender centered policies because. the women who are gathered here are not. a true reflection of what happens in society

their women who are concerned about this issues they're using the advantage position who advocates on behalf off. to use their resources to hope to advance. the cause i think is the focus that you still have about one billion women who live with violence and only less than ten percent will ever reports. they have been violated and even much less justice it's a lot of people who are walking wounded who are mentally depressed and have no access for reason so i think that is a reason why we have to discuss impulsive happens in this region the reason i'm asking this question is because women's rights are rarely a standalone this year they're very tightly connected to children's issues economic issues man's rights as well how can one parse out. a gender identity out

of many other identities that women carry why do we need to have women's rights as a subset of human rights rather than addressing human rights in the entirety let's talk about intersectionality the woman presents herself as a woman of color is an unemployed. person as a victim of domestic. violence as someone who has experience. so we have to try and find a if addressed in all of those things all at the same time. sometimes it's not easy to find one stop shop where you need gets the supports that you need to address all of these issues but probably there's a much stronger. advocacy and voices now that are talking about poets. more than stand alone and at the same time.
