the russian defense ministry slams the actions of the israeli military blaming us for the downing of a plane in syria last monday all fifteen russian service personnel on board were killed. also in the stories that shaped the way the world anti-doping agency reinstated russia's anti drugs body a major step towards seeing many of the country's top athletes competing on the world stage. looking more like

a no deal negotiation stalled with the e.u. as the bloc rejects to rescind may's economic plan. at this late stage in the negotiation it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without explanation and counter it's. either for me in the team here at r.t. h.q. this sunday night at nine we're bringing you the biggest stories reported right here over the past seven days and today's developments as well starting with russia's defense ministry which has said that israel bears full responsibility for the downing of a russian at craft of syria's coast this week which killed all fifteen service personnel 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 was twenty started its patrol mission in a deescalation zone and in syria's northwest around the same time four israeli f. sixteen fighter jets left israel's as 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 with a carry out an air raid in northern syria but the israeli message was misleading because israel informed russia it would strike targets in the north of syria but instead they had targets in the western province of latakia just a minutes after the israeli jets conducted as strikes in the taqiyya province following the call the russian it was when she received an order to move south and exit the supposed to target zone with such short notice the russian plane was unable to reach a safe area eleven minutes after the attack began syrian air defenses started

firing missiles already in combat position at twenty one fifty nine one of the f. sixteen started to maneuver towards the coast and approach the ill twenty series and defense systems registered the maneuver as the start of another attack and opened fire be it which when she was hit by a missile and four minutes later disappeared from radar russia believes it was the actions of the israeli jets that put the old twenty at immense risk as a. pilot was aware the russian planes would be a preferred target for the empty aircraft missile because of its larger rate a cross-section they also knew that syrian raiders were likely to identify the twenty as a group of israeli jets because russia and syria use different friends of both systems. the israeli defense forces have disputed moscow's timeline of events saying that their f. sixteen s were not hiding behind the russian plane and left the air space before it was shot down ulti senior correspondent what i guess the f.a.

looks at how the incident. could affect relations between russia and israel. whatever side you ask no one's guilty culpable or liable everyone blames someone else israel holds the assad regime in his military shot down the russian plane fully responsible for this incident israel also holds iran and hezbollah a terrorist organization accountable for this unfortunate incident this regrettable incident is the result of the usual israeli impudence and rodimus who always use the filthiest means to achieve their unsavory goals and in that very hostility in our region was it the syrians who launched a missile while fending off a surprise every day on their country was a theory and has by law who apparently had an arms factory that just had to be bombed or was it the israelis who reportedly hid behind russian aircraft because presented objective data testify that the actions of israeli fighter pilots

which led to the loss of life of fifteen russian servicemen either a lack professionalism were an act of criminal negligence to say the least. russia holds israel responsible that is clear and israel's excuses have been dismissed as just that excuses the israeli regime put the russian service men at risk intentionally in order to be able to carry out this attack on syria which is of course illegal in itself the arrogance of netanyahu has caused him great difficulty now because he has to be answerable to the russian people and instead of apologizing as usual the israelis are looking for scapegoats israel insists it had to bomb the arabians hizbullah there and then yet how many times is israel now had to bomb syria dozens and dozens monthly to stop iranian and shia

aggression it says how many times has iran attacked israel and this puts russia in a tough spot its trademark selling point of being friends with everyone may be impossible to keep up russia is now quite even handed in the middle east and he tries to keep good relation was all the parties was is was the arabs was the palestinians it was turkey was iran. 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 his concerns as soon as the end st 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 air space that means that damascus could have shot 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 were 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 list called for it to acknowledge complacency and 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 the reinstatement was widely met with dissent as our sports correspondent alexy our chefs 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 wada 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 waters way you know everywhere on social media in the in the articles on television. not only that the number of and i'd open 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 its 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 that 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. 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 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's he is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved the reinstatement of result of that and this is a turning point in the in this whole story and i get we all hope the rush to get back to. the championships saying this is a day to celebrate a lot of restructuring 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 carts the battle to confirm brett kavanaugh as the next to us supreme court justice is

heating up over sexual assault claims but he tells among our stories after the break. you know world big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. so we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an

arms race. spearing dramatic to follow can only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back the british prime minister's position at home and abroad has left in serious doubt this week negotiations with the e.u. over seeing another set back after to resume a partnership plan was slapped down by the blokes leaders at a summit in austria talks got underway on wednesday in the city of salzburg the result of those has 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. takes a closer look at the stalemate now 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 us in a difficult corner we will stand our ground that's the kind of country we are how effective this so-called power lightness will be is debatable but let me continue with the plot the 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. ready to compromise and. first of all this is. for fundamental freedoms. and. single market and this is the way we. remain skeptical and critical 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 see 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 miss your 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 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 in many seventy 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 am 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 state 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. donald trump's latest supreme 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 sexual assault allegations against him coven are strongly denies the accusations while his accuser has agreed to testify before congress kaleb open house 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. bridge kavanaugh mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman your very warm welcome to not they are given their meeting. for here. we cannot be

recognized i move to adjourn. them 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 misattributed quotes about birth control started flying around the internet hillary clinton herself was spreading this false information hidden for to birth control pills as abortion inducing drunks the set off a lot of harm both for me an issue for you too i want to be sure will clear this didn't happen you were spanked chicks 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 his friends buy a ticket 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 the republicans think she is

lying and have been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was intended. and i believe professor ford just cabinet has lied multiple times she's not sure when it happened where it happened who else was president 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. deeply divided america. archie in new york. on the struggle for women's rights around the world are in focus next as our team mates the u.n. is most senior official on the subject of his next object and. leaks .

when you. look at the distance was more than a book called this a bug. it's called states about seeing me. just show. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us in the with one trillion

dollars in debt more than ten point zero or more in tempe this. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be rich point six percent market so thirty percent is one of your home with four hundred five hundred three person for sure and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one show you know for commit to one and only.

a long welcome to 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 by gender specific policies to become and then that one is called to discuss that i'm now joined by. the united nations on the secretary general and the executive director of the un to women. under secretary 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 man's issues may have been perceived as a sexist given how many accomplished high powered women have gathered here do you think we still need gender centered policies well yes because. the women who are

gathered here i'm not. a true. reflection of what happens in society there are women who are concerned about this issues they're using the advantage physician who advocates on behalf off. to use their resources to help to advance. the course i think is the focus you still have a pulse one billion women who live with violence and only less than ten percent will ever courts say they have been violated and even much less justice it's a lot of people who are walking wounded who are mentally to trust and have no access for reason so i think that is a reason why we have to have this discussion of happens in this region the reason i'm asking this question is because women's rights are rarely a standalone issue 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 entire.
