i. do in the russian defense ministry slanders the actions of the israeli military plenty of for the downing of a plane in syria last monday all fifteen russian servicemen on board were killed. recently as a ship that week to the world anti-doping agency reinstated russia's anti drugs body may just step the old saying many of the country's top athletes competing on the world stage. on the confirmation hearing for president from supreme court pick

it stagnates in accusations with brett kavanaugh proving to be one of america's most divisive nominees ever. international weekend live from moscow with me kevin owen for the next thirty minutes around that then of the big news stories of the last seven days starting with this right now russia's defense ministry saying that the israeli military holds full responsibility for the downing of a russian military aircraft in syria this week which killed all fifteen servicemen on board in a statement to the media just a bit earlier the russian military presented a detailed timeline of the incident concluded much more difficult. expressed its concerns as soon as the s three hundred deal with syria was signed israel concluded. with these new air defense systems syria would have been able to

cover all of israel's airspace that means that damascus could have shut down israeli military planes just seconds after takeoff the israeli said they could not let that happen they expressed their alarm and asked moscow to break the deal russia's answered israel's concerns by first suspending the contract and then withdrawing from it completely and returning four hundred million dollars that it already received from the syrian government. russia helped broker a deal to keep iranian and hezbollah forces in syria away from the golan heights from the israeli border at israel's request in golan heights the russian military at israel's request launched a special operation to identify and exuma the remains of israeli soldiers dead for decades and russia got un troops back to the golan heights after six years at the request of israel with the assistance of the russian forces all

iran backed formations with heavy weapons or withdrawn from the golan heights to a safe distance for israel more than one hundred forty kilometers to the east of syria in twenty sixteen at the urgent request of the chief of the general staff of the israel defense forces israel received the mega three tank captured in one thousand eight hundred two in lebanon and kept in russia ever since. and then there's the diplomatic cover russia is given israel by backing it up and the un security council or by protecting israel from the bombers parting shots. know russia has been helping israel a lot moscow has always taken israeli interests into account especially when it comes to the middle east settlement. for example in twenty sixteen the outgoing about ministration trying to push the draft resolution on the israeli palestinian sats woman at the un security council that resolution would have adopted artificial

circumstances for the settlement was which were on acceptable for israel russia to israel's concerns into account and despite then u.s. secretary of state john kerry embodying russian foreign minister lavrov with requests to vote in favor of it russia didn't do it helped israel in that case so the resolution didn't pass you'd have thought israel would be grateful or at least appreciate the effort but fifteen russian servicemen and now dead killed in the crossfire of israel's preemptive vendettas which means one of two things either the israeli government has no care to all for all that russia has done or that the israeli military leads a very separate life the director of a think tank the focus is on the middle east told us but earlier it's clear that from this timeline produced now why moscow is pointing the finger at israel. they say it was deliberate that these really pirates chose to take refuge in in

a plane or around a plane with a large or a much larger footprint of make no mistake about it now recite it will be heavily scrutinized and will be heavily checked by water so it's definitely a long road ahead the deputy head of russia's anti doping agency told us of the organization went to great lengths to ensure compliance. with the blood. it's been a lot of work this saga has lasted for almost three years a lot of things have been done the russian anti-doping agency now has a completely need team it's been hard to work for russia sports ministry as well as wada they're provided international experts to rebuild the capability of russia's anti-doping agency from my viewpoint it's a well earned a victory and it's not a victory of just one and it is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved at the reinstatement of result of that i mean this is a turning point in the in this whole story and i see it get we all hope the russian

blitz to get back to. the championships and saying this is a day to celebrate a lot of restructuring the result has been made but it is what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing. this is what cards. you store in the week donald trump supreme court picks proved to be perhaps the most divisive figure to be nominated for the job covered as conservative views have been praised by most republicans but heavily criticized by most democrats because the controversy intensify there after his confirmation hearing got mired in sexual assault allegations this last week cover the strongly denies the his ations leveled against him saying he's ready to clear his name while his accuser now is also agreed to testify was largely the congress elam open has more on trump's contentious choice for the lifetime position. the hearings surrounding the

appointment of a new supreme court justice by the president has turned into arguably the most burgeoning political issue in the united states at this time as the nomination process continues for brett kavanaugh we're seeing a circus of anger and accusations. rick kavanagh mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman your very warm welcome not been given to the needy. for here. we cannot be recognized i move to adjourn america and i move. on here's why the issue is so diverse to the u.s. supreme court has the final legal say on crucial issues and justices are appointed for life no wonder both sides want to put the balance in their favor so the gloves

come off the accusations are now flying first a woman who is sitting behind kavanagh was accused of giving secret fascist hand signals it turns out she is the descendant of holocaust survivors then some mis attributed quotes about birth control started flying around the internet hillary clinton herself was spreading this false information he referred to birth control pills as abortion inducing drugs the set of a lot of harm to me an issue for you too i want to be sure will clear this didn't happen you were spanked chix to prove this false then cavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters scoured his financial disclosure. and learned that he and his friends bought tickets to a baseball game so as you can see there's still plenty of showing us to go around but then things got serious accusations of attempted rape which is career ending

stuff in the age of me two came up christine blasi forward accuses brett kavanaugh the tempting to rape her back in the one nine hundred eighty s. when they were both teenagers at a party now she wants an f.b.i. investigation if the senators who have come forward and said they want to treat the seriously mean that then they'll they'll have an investigation of these allegations so that we all go into this more informed so twenty four women who went to high school with brett kavanaugh signed a letter saying that they support the accuser then sixty five women signed another letter saying that they defend brett kavanaugh his character now those who support the democrats generally believe the accuser those is support the republicans think she is lying and i've been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was intended. and i believe. offensive forward judge cabinet has lied multiple times she's not sure when it happened where it happened

who else was present she never reported it to anybody this is nothing if they get away with this there is then you have c.n.n. running the country because this allegation could be made against anyone at any time now the u.s. department of justice says that it's not a federal case but it seems like proving guilt or innocence isn't exactly the issue here i think the nomination should be withdrawn the bar here is not. whether you have not criminally assaulted someone it's credibility trust integrity so who is brett kavanaugh now to some he is a well respected adjudicator who happens to have some republican ties to others he's a sexual predator now supreme court justice nominations often turn into political confrontations but rarely do they expose such a deeply divided america. art see new york one of most outspoken opponents to break up his nomination is the former presidential candidate hillary clinton however it

wasn't long until many cause pointed out that her husband the former president bill clinton also faced allegations of sexual misconduct which didn't stop him from reaching america's highest office her husband when he was president faced allegations that were not the same as this certainly but had connections to these kinds of allegations from years ago have we learned anything over the years about due process not just for the accusers but also for the accused well i think that you have to take each of these situations you know sort of on their own merits. and what bill clinton's alleged victims reacted by asking the f.b.i. then to investigate her rape as well. the difference in the double standard that existed back then and still does today i think it's i think this is this donna xing but they can do this to mr cavanaugh it is the absolute definition of hypocritical and that's what's really disheartening especially for

the american public to see these democratic leaders that have been elected being absolutely hypocritical and two faced really not only when it comes to the clinton trials where all of this wasn't enough what we heard it wasn't enough you can't come against him whereas a woman makes one allegation is refusing to testify there's no other information nobody really has any information there's no evidence but the word of this woman that's not to say that sexual assault allegations are important but the timing is very suspicious of course so we've now shown that the congress the united states of america doesn't care about facts or evidence as mrs it's as about political differences. international broadcasting around the world thank you for being with this small stories that we just go to china threatens consequences of the washington polled more sunshine zone beijing is ahead.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big part of the 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

on saturday china some of the u.s. ambassador joint military talks with the united states it comes in response to washington slapping sanctions on beijing over its purchase of russian weaponry china warned the u.s. it could face consequences we strongly call on the u.s. to remedy the mistake and cancel the sanctions otherwise the u.s. has to bear the consequences russia in turn called washington's punitive measures another demonstration of dirty competition this for hundreds russia's mobile surface to air defense system is not. just china buying it other nations are in advanced stages of purchasing it too and india and saudi arabia are showing an interest as well while turkey another u.s.

ally has already bought it chinese affairs honestly to go told me the ongoing feud with washington will only bolster beijing's partnership with moscow now. i've seen the u.s. decision to sanction the pioli equipment department and its a two star general is a major negative development and i would say people are very shocked if the united states really bets on alienating china and russia for example given all the reasons for russia and china to be closer calls india military cooperation them today's action by the united states is a major boost in that direction definitely china will not step down and china i think will have all the more reasons to increase its military cooperation with russia and possibly even important more airplanes and and i missile system sanctions by the united states against the chinese military will further review any

incentive on the charlies product to improve its relations with the united states and i think eventually let me completely disregard leave out the states. the much touted promote program was supposed to be the biggest women support initiative in afghanistan but according to a report by a washington watchdog has been in that a failure hundreds of millions of dollars of u.s. taxpayer money was spent the goals we huge but in reality only a few dozen women were helped. something. since two thousand and one the door has been reopened for afghan women they joined the police the army and entered politics and together we can help women and girls across afghanistan develop their talents raise their voices and strengthen their communities and their

country and. then i didn't know if this money was spent properly there would have been changes in women's lives but we don't know how they spend it or who they gave it so you. haven't done so much for afghan women there is an exhibit in hell's in india a man is representing afghan women in this program in afghanistan and the so how can we and i mean pull out of a plane. is. that a scene i will allow and i will. make up in one of the most of. the most of the pictures the south coast guard. who took them. almost got.

married. to sing the whole set of war zones to. fetch it. only. an affair though i live in bit. by the sort of call and say well. i love all model. and use that and. a lot of that are just the soul of that the well.

we've done some. of the what i want to hop out of the with the wind. the most often to. get. to. your great.
