i. the russian defense ministry slams the actions of the israeli military blaming it for the downing of a plane in syria last month that all fifty russian service personnel aboard were killed. among the stories that shaped the world anti-doping agency reinstates russia's anti drug body a major step toward seeing many of the country's top athletes back competing on the world stage. and looking more like a no deal negotiations stalled with the e.u.

as the clock rejects to reset may's economic. framework for corporations. at this late stage in the negotiation it is not acceptable to simply with the other side's proposed. explanation and counter. hello to you wherever you are watching us and this weekend. we're bringing in the biggest stories of the past seven days as cover right here and also the day's developments that's where we start in fact russia's defense ministry says israel bears full responsibility for the downing of a russian aircraft off 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 and it deescalation zone in it live 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 the israel informed russia would strike targets in the north of syria but instead they had targets in the western province of latakia just a minute after the israeli jets conducted as strikes in the taqiyya province following the call the russian il twenty 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 il twenty series and defense systems registered the maneuver as the start of another attack and opened fire be able to 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. pilots was aware the russian planes would be a preferred target for the anti aircraft missile because of its larger rate of course section the also news that syrian raiders were likely to identify the old twenty as a group of israeli jets because russia and syria use different friend or foe systems. his real defense forces 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 r.t. senior correspondent there i guess do you have 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 outs israel holds the assad regime whose 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 enact their hostility in our region was that the syrians who launched a missile while fending off a surprise on their country was at the arena and his 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 then set of apologizing as usual the israelis are looking for scapegoats israel insists it had to bomb the arabians has malott 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. 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. 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 could not let that happen they expressed their alarm and asked moscow to break the dealing russia's answered israel's concerns by first suspending the contract and then withdrawing from it completely 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 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's given israel by backing it up and the un security council or by protecting israel from the bombers parting shots of our goal is a no 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 sense 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 helps 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 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 middle east analyst imo back awful things that it's clear from the time line 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 the laura shore a much larger footprint on the radar screens i.e. the i l or the illusion twenty. he says that this was deliberate it's not clear and i don't think anybody can go as far as determining the intentions of these really

pilots i.e. did they do chris hughes in this plane so that the syrians don't shoot or they took refuge in the plane and this plane so that the syrians if they shoot it would be shot down there is a fine line between the two analogies this is why he said this is close to criminal negligence you know. and great unprofessionalism on one hand so what is happening is that had it not been not only good for the operation but also for the actions of these really airplanes and the misleading of the. the theater of operations none of this would have happened so it's clear for the foremost goal that israel is to play now how or where most call goes from there is is what remains to be seen. as for weeks other big stories now the world anti-doping agency voted to reinstate russia's anti drug body thursday's decision ended a three years 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 of water had given russia a list of commitments in order to be reinstated one point was access to data and samples that was stored in the moscow lab russia's agreement to do it was enough for water however the main sticking point was that report by canadian dr richard mclaren which alleged that russia had run a state sponsored doping scheme of a list called for it to be a knowledge that there was complicity in tow pinger moscow denies that such a program ever existed however in a letter to water russia's sports minister did admit that there were issues within the country's anti-doping agency the reinstatement was widely met with dissent as our sports correspondent alexy irish f.t. now reports. 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 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 it sport if you're saying that it's agency which is destiny which is tasked to purify that's forward 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 what 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 well that aside the deputy head of russia's anti-doping agency told us the organization went to great lengths to ensure compliance. 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 experts to reveal the capability of russia's anti-doping agency from my viewpoint it's a well earned think terry and it's not

a victory of just one and it is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved 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 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 comes. the battle to confirm brett kavanaugh as the next u.s. supreme court justices heating up over sexual assault claims it's among our stories when the weekly returns in just a couple of minute. it's

become an international norm to say women's rights are human rights but in a world where women make up the majority of university graduates this may not be true how much more women's empowerment needs to happen before gender based policies become redundant. you know world's big partners newton's law 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. 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 watching closely watching the hawks.

welcome back the british prime minister's position at home and abroad has left in serious doubt this we negotiate with the e.u. over breakfast have seen 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 result of those has left britain staring at the prospect of a no deal scenario and a speech the following the meeting prime minister made 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 say. in a day or two to now 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 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 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. 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 reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals you know teachers or something and i completely respect british sovereignty when i see that but it sure that those who see that we can easily live without your roots if everything is going to be all right and that is going to bring a lot of money we are liars but hunt is not alone brags it is continue to support me miss your mark wrong 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 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 of a 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 people want this is the core problem of the european union and that is why we will see further problems and further disagreements between the nation states in the european union. are sending their message in big numbers thousands of people including delegates from britain's labor party have been out in force in the city of liverpool this sunday there demanding a second vote on all the opposition parties confirmed that members will debate remaining in the future in their annual conference in the city this week tessa's could be seen carrying the new flags with posters in the slogan not a done deal. donald trump's latest supreme court. pake 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 coming all strongly denies the accusations well his accuser has agreed to testify before congress kaleb open house more on trump's contentious choice for the lifetime position. of 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. mr chairman. mr chairman. we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman a very warm well if they're not they are given they're in the mood for here.

we cannot be recognized by move to adjourn. so here's why the issue is so diverse 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 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 descent. and 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 to you. haven't done so much for afghan women there is an exhibit in india a man is representing afghan women in this program in afghanistan is but women and we still get replaced by man why do we have the capacity.

personally request of usa to support us by providing a smooth incompetently going to modernize the handcuffs section their response was negative they said they were huge to treat as i have ten years experience i don't need the training i need the machinery. plus i thought until i filled in forms last year and again six months ago they told us that they would let us know but there was no response even when we called them they never called back hundreds of thousands of women across afghanistan ready to work but it worked. and that's the weekly for this hour next on r.t. international we continue our in-depth look at the ukraine crisis from its causes

to its current state i am what the future might hold. when the whole make us manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the roaming pluses and protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. that's not going the whole middle of the road signals. many more humans really follow. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure more somehow want to press. the to the right to the press that's like them before the three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. for certain. folks. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second.
