what has happened to my baby anything. you know she said. victims have received compensation. for the suffering. of. the russian defense ministry slams the actions of the israeli military blaming it for the downing of a plane in syria last month fifty russian service personnel were killed. among the stories that shape the week the world anti-doping agency three of states russia drugs body a major step toward seeing many of the country's top athletes back competing on the world stage. looking more like a. negotiation with the e.u.
6:01 pm
as the bloc rejects to reserve major economic plan. at this late stage. to simply live. without explanation and counterproposals. twenty four seventh's international i'm calling brian these are the biggest stories as covered right here over the past seven days plus the weekend's developments that's where we'll begin with russia's defense ministry which says israel bears responsibility for the downing of a russian aircraft 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. at twenty thirty one on september nineteenth
6:02 pm
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 call 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 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
6:03 pm
firing missiles already in combat position at twenty one fifty nine one of the f. sixteen started to maneuver towards the coast and approached the ill twenty series and defense systems registered the maneuver as the start of another attack and opened fire the able twenty 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 because. pilot was aware the russian plane would be a preferred target for the empty aircraft missile because of its larger raid across section the 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 and the israel defense forces dispute moscow's timeline of events saying that their f. sixteen s were not hiding behind the russian plane and had left the area before it was shot down r.t. senior correspondent well i guess they have looked at how the tragedy could affect relations between russia and israel. whatever side you ask no one's guilty culpable
6:04 pm
or liable everyone blames someone else israel holds the assad regime whose military shot down the russian plane fully responsible for this incident israel also holds iran and hezbollah 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 that the syrians who launched a missile while fending off a surprise raid on their country was a theory 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
6:05 pm
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 hizbullah are there and then yet how many times is israel now had to bomb syria dozens and dozens monthly to stop iranian and shia
6:06 pm
aggression it says 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 evenhanded 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
6:07 pm
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
6:08 pm
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
6:09 pm
there's the diplomatic cover russia has given israel by backing it up in 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 side. it's women at the u.n. security council that resolution would have adopted artificial circumstances for the settlement was which were on except support 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
6:10 pm
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. more of the week's headline news in the world anti-doping agency has voted to reinstate russia's anti drugs body thursday's 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 and is compliant with the world anti-doping code wada had given russia a list of commitments in order to be reinstated one point was access to data and samples stored in the moscow lab russia's agreement to do that was enough of warm water but the main sticking point been the report by the canadian dr richard
6:11 pm
mclaren which alleged that russia had run a state sponsored doping scheme the list called for it to be a knowledged and acknowledged complicity in doping now moscow denies that 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 ever shifting reports it's definitely been a very difficult decision for water and even in that statement acknowledging 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 don't think agencies in the world including the u.k. the united states new zealand australia poland canada they were all urging the
6:12 pm
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 pure 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 the 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 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 in 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 reside it will be heavily scrutinized and will be heavily checked by water so it's definitely
6:13 pm
a long road ahead the battle to confirm a new u.s. supreme court justice is heating up over sexual assault claims it's among our stories when the weekly returns in just a couple of minutes from now. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he wants to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you can't
6:14 pm
afford to miss the one and only. if. 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. welcome back the british prime minister's position at home and abroad was left in serious doubt this week negotiations with the e.u. over brics it's or another setback after to resume a partnership plan was slapped down by the block leaders at a summit in austria talks got underway on wednesday in the city of salzburg and the result of those left britain staring at the prospect of a no deal scenario and
6:15 pm
a speech 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 same artesian a direct chewed out 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.
6:16 pm
task is uncompromising and france's present micron is pretty scathing to. just its framework for economic cooperation. 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 to politico understood this part of the checkers proposal of 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
6:17 pm
see that we can easily live without you rip that everything is going to be all right and that is going to bring a lot of money are liars but hunt is not alone brags it is continue to support me. monsieur mccrone 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. in a variety 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 a mini semi turned assuring the brits that a deal is not dead and went on to say that he was
6:18 pm
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 negotiations 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 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. and while to resume a struggle to win over leaders to her plan she faces an even bigger battle to get
6:19 pm
the british public behind on sunday thousands of people turned out in the city of liverpool calling for breakfast to be scrapped altogether remain politicians give speeches demanding a so-called people's vote or set. referendum with the option of staying in the new . nominee for the u.s. supreme court is proving increasingly divisive brett kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault and next week his accuser will testify before the senate morgan has the latest. 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. brett kavanaugh mr chairman. mr chairman.
6:20 pm
we cannot possibly move forward mr chairman you're very warm welcome not they are giving their dogs and they have no food on the floor here. we cannot be recognized i move to adjourn america. oh here's why the issue is so diverse the human they join 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 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 and they haven't done so much for afghan women there's an exhibit in hell's in india a man is representing afghan women this program in afghanistan is for women and we
6:21 pm
still get replaced by man why do we have the capacity. for. the person we request of usa to support us by providing a smosh incompetently going to modernize that had to have section their response was negative they said they were huge to train as i have ten years experience i don't need the training i need the machinery. 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 or to work. and
6:22 pm
that's it for me any society has your next week lee and half an hour next picking up again on the struggle for women's rights around the world as he meets the un's most senior official on the subject. matter geysers financial survival guide liquid assets are those that you can convert in zigzags point is really. to keep in mind l. as a tremendous place of. the word. manufacture
6:23 pm
consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. when the famous merry go round lifts only the one percent. in the middle of the room. really. really.
6:24 pm
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
6:25 pm
a bit redundant how much more women's empowerment needs to happen what gender specific policies to become and then. to discuss that i'm now joined by. the united nations on the secretary general and executive director of the un of 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 men's issues may have been perceived as a sexist about give. and 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 they are women who are concerned about this issues they're using the advantage position to advocate on behalf off.
6:26 pm
to use their resources to help to advance. the course 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 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 and 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 and
6:27 pm
that's what we 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 and equality so we have to try and find.
