well there were if you're watching this sunday welcome to r.t. international we're bringing you the biggest stories reported right here over the past seven days and today's developments as well and that's where we'll start russia's defense ministry says israel bears full responsibility for the downing of a russian aircraft of syria's coast this week which killed all fifteen servicemen on board in a statement to the media the russian military presented a detailed timeline of the incident concluding that the actions of the israeli air force led to the tragedy. at twenty thirty one on september nineteenth the russian survey aircraft it with twenty started its patrol mission and it deescalation zone in in syria's northwest around the same time four israeli f. sixteen fighter jets left israel's air space they flew over neutral waters of the mediterranean and took up a combat ready position ninety kilometers from syria's port of latakia at twenty one thirty nine the israeli air force informed russia its f. sixteen s were to carry out an air raid in northern syria but the israeli message

was misleading because israel informed russia would strike targets in the north of syria but instead they hit targets in the western province of latakia just a minutes after the call israeli jets conducted as strikes in the taqiyya province following the call the russian good relational was all the parties was is was the arabs was the palestinians. i wonder how long will it last that you can be a friend of everybody because by the end of the day we are dealing with a very fragile reality in the middle east with very contradictory power and a lot of atrocity as we know and violence but russia thought it could manage and why not look at all it has done for israel. when russia flew near the israeli occupied golan heights they warned them three hundred ten times

they notified israel when israel bombed syria russia never shot down israeli jets or missiles even when they posed a danger to russian personnel at israel's request russia tore up a deal to sell syria s. three hundred ad defense systems which would have made israeli air raids much more difficult a war. israel expressed its concerns as soon as the end street hundred deal with syria was signed. israel concluded that 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 cannot 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 is is what remains to be seen. the world anti-doping agencies voted to reinstate russia's anti drug body thursday decision ended a three year suspension for alleged state sponsored doping. the great majority of the world anti-doping agency's executive committee decided to reinstate the russian anti doping agency as compliant with the world anti-doping code wada had given russia a list of commitments to be reinstated one point was access to data and samples stored in the moscow lab russia's agreement to do it was enough for wada however the main sticking point had been the report by the canadian dr richard mclaren which alleged that russia had run a state sponsored doping scheme of the list to call for it took knowledge complicity in doping moscow denies such a program ever existed but in a letter to water russia's sports minister admitted that there were issues within

the country's anti doping agency that reinstatement was widely met with dissent as our sports correspondent alexy our ships get our report. it's definitely been a very difficult decision for water and even in that statement the knowledge that the decision would be unpopular and would be met with a lot of criticism the u.s. anti-doping agency chief. he went as far as saying that water needs to be completely reformed after that decision it's a blow to clean sport and in fact for the past week or so the criticism coming towards was way you know everywhere on social media in the in the articles on television. not only that the number of and i don't think agencies in the world including the u.k. the united states new zealand australia poland canada they were all urging the president of water not to take the step to reconsider you know it's surprising because how would you expect the country to purify its sport if you're saying that it's agency which is destiny which is tasked to purify the ford should not be operational it's a chance that wada gave to the russian anti-doping agency to have fewer screen

sport in the country this would change nothing for those athletes who have been accused of doping are serving their bans this is all about clean athletes the door is not shut open for them it's only they've been given a chance to open the door into the sport because one of the main conditions of the international association of athletics federations to reinstate the russian athletes was that that should be operational meaning that you know athletes have to be checked for doping in order to be clean and in order to be participating international competitions flying the russian flag so essentially this happened now but a lot of work is ahead and make no mistake about it now risotto 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 that the organization went to great lengths to ensure compliance. in the blood of what 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 me team it's been hard work for russia sports ministry as well as wada they're provided international expertise 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 anti is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved and the reinstatement of result of that i mean this is a turning point in the in this whole story and i see a good will help the russian blitz to get back to. the championships and i've seen the day to celebrate a lot of restructuring in the result has been made and the easy is what makes these decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing and i've seen this is what cards. you're watching the weekly the battle to confirm brett kavanaugh as the next u.s. supreme court justice is heating up of

a sexual assault claims the details are not among our stories after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development that only.

exists i don't see that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit. in. welcome back the british prime minister's position at home and abroad who was left in serious doubt this week negotiations with the e.u. over the scene another setback after to resume a partnership plan was slapped down by the blocs leaders at a summit in austria talks got underway on wednesday in the city of salzburg and the results of those left britain staring at the prospect of a no deal scenario in a speech following the meeting prime minister may demanded equal respect from the european union throughout this process i have treated the e.u.

with nothing but respect the u.k. expects the same artes takes a closer look at the stalemate between brussels and london. gregg's it an on off drama that feels like it's been going on for centuries well since twenty sixteen the british pm has of course got her back covered by newly appointed foreign secretary jeremy hunt and that's exactly what he did following the tenth summit in salzburg what reason is saying is don't mistake british politeness for weakness if you put it in a difficult corner we will stand our ground that's the kind of country we are how effective this so-called lightness will be is debatable but let me continue with the plot the e.u. effectively has thrown out may's proposed post economic partnership with the e.u. task is uncompromising and france's present micron is pretty scathing to. just its framework for economic cooperation. it must be clear that.

we are not. ready to compromise and. first of all this is. for fundamental freedoms. and. things are market and this is the way we. remain skeptical and critical to this part of the checkers proposal at this late stage in the negotiations it is not acceptable to simply rejects the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals you know teaches us something and i completely respect british sovereignty when i see that but it showed that those who say that we can easily live without europe that everything is going to be alright and that is going to bring a lot of money are liars but hunt is not alone brags it is continue to support me

this year mark owen is not only out of order he's completely wrong the e.u. is doing their classic case of trying to bully the u.k. you never write. he of ways into taking a different position it is a well known british political truism that when you start insulting your opponents you've already lost the argument why would an economy want to change themselves to a sinking monolith when we could be at the center of a global network of free trade deals and investment partnerships a strong british stance indeed against the european union so after these political games you would think that the e.u. had slammed the door on any negotiations or proposals but no it seems that donald tusk has not quite done a u. turn but a mini semi turned assuring the brits that a deal is not dead and went on to say that he was a true admirer of the british pm i'm going to leave the compromise could be found confused well i certainly the european union is in

a complete mess you can see that the european union has huge problems brussels likes to put on a show it likes to show that it's tough and hard to try and dissuade other nation states from leaving the european union like britain what i will see now is that those people in the council and the commission will be trying to work on a deal that goes to the very last minute of the last day of the negotiation that is what they've done in the past you can see that it is an elite at the top that come along so democratic nation states voting for leaders who support policies that their people want this is the core problem of the european union and that is why i will see further problems and further disagreements between the nation states in the european union. latest supremes court pick has proven to be one of the most divisive figures to be nominated for the job opposition to confirming brett kavanaugh stepped up this week after a woman made a sexual assault allegation against him cavanagh strongly denies the accusations

while his accuser has agreed to testify before congress elam orpen 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 a very warm welcome not the door given to the needy. for. we cannot be recognized i move to adjourn america. now here's why the issue is

so did visit 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 huge referred to birth control pills as abortion inducing drunks the set off 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 had a 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 kavanaugh 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's 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 mop and artsy in new york. right now to the weekly for this hour wolf are you off we've joined steve bould one of mac's guys are on their road trip across the us live from moscow this is all to internet. medical use downs to leak school. and when you.

all middle of the room sick. room real news room. you know world of big partisan groovy 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 back 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 for washington closely watching the hawks. previously on the great american pilgrimage through google maybe i'm perceived as a trump loving right wing christian conservative a dead about elvis and you have to wonder wow when you look at the wide legal. way
