the russian defense ministry slams the actions of the israeli military blaming its for the downing of a plane in syria last monday all fifteen russian service personnel on board were killed. and the stories that shapes the week the world's on sedating agency reinstates russia's anti drugs body paving the way from found a place to return to the global stage. the u.k.

strikes at negotiation stalled as the e.u. rejects to resume a's proposals to sub just to train work for the moment corporations will not work at this late stage in the negotiations it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and come to. allow and welcome to the weekly and often international iran top of the week's top stories. russia's defense ministry has given a detailed timeline of the downing of an ad in syria and a statement to the media the ministry explained why it holds israel responsible for monday's tragedy in which fifteen russian service personnel died. that's when she said she was on september nineteenth the russians crossed it which when she said.

that is patrol mission in a deescalation zone and in syria's northwest around the same time four israeli f. sixteen fighter jets left israel's space they flew over neutral waters of the mediterranean and took up a combat ready position ninety kilometers from syria's ports 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 cole israeli jets conducted as strikes in the taqiyya province following the 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 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. the 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 old twenty as a group of israeli jets because russia and syria use different friend or foe systems as israeli military disputes most of events the i.d.f. says is fighter jets were not hiding behind the russian plane and had left the area before it was shot down a senior correspondent. how the disaster 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 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 in that very hostility in our region was that the syrians who launched a missile while fending off a surprise a raid 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 instead 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

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 was turkey was. 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 contradicting powers and a lot of atrocity as we know it 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 s three 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 the damascus could have shut down israeli military planes just seconds after takeoff the israeli said they cannot let that happen they express 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 that for decades and russia got un troops by. 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 in austria leaving britain facing the prospect of crashing out of the e.u. with no deal next march in a speech after the meeting prime minister made demands and greater respect from

your it. throughout this process i have treated the e.u. with nothing but respect. the u.k. expects the same artes in a day or two day or 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 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. 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 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 showed that those who 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 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. and of a righty 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 and believes

a 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 states voting for leaders who support policies that 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. the world anti-doping agency as reinstated russia's anti drug policy there's a secession ended

a three year suspension for alleged state sponsored taping. the great majority of the world doping agency's executive committee decided to reinstate the russian and she duping agency as complying with the world anti-doping code water had given russia a list of demands a key requirement was that risotto must grounds for lack sess to data samples stored in its moscow lab russia agreed to comply the main sticking point had been the reports by canadian dr richard mclaren which alleged that russia ran a state sponsored doping scheme the list called for it to acknowledge complicity in taping moscow deny such a program ever existed but to know that or to water russia sports minister admitted that there were issues within the country's anti doping agency the reinstatement has not been welcomed by everyone as our sports correspondent alexy hour shifts explains. 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'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 the sport if you're saying that it's agency which is destiny which is tasked to purify this 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 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 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 resort 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 dating agency told us the organization has gone 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 knee team it's been hard work for russia sports ministry as well as wada their. bided international expertise to rebuild the capability of fresh

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 the reinstatement of the result of that i mean this is a turning point in the in this whole story and i see a good will how the russian blitz to get back to. the congo championships and i'm saying this is a day to celebrate a lot of restructuring within result that has been made and the easiest what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing and i've seen this is what comes. a second woman has come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against bretz kind of a donald trump's nominee for the u.s. supreme court this comes just days before and have accused terrorist used to testify before the senate. more pain looks of the political shock waves from the

case. 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 very warm welcome not they are giving their ability to go work here but. 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 put the balance in their favor so the gloves come off the accusations are now flying first a woman who was 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 any us ally has already both hit. a senior u.s. official edged of us to think twice before engaging with russia's defense and intelligence agency's chinese affairs on the west bank to get out says the ongoing feud with washington will any both beijing's partnership with moscow. i've seen the u.s. decision to sanction the pioli. department and it's 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 that. 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 moral reasons to increase its military cooperation with russia and possibly very important mall airplanes and and try missile system sanctions by the united states against the chinese military will further reduce the incentive on the chinese products to improve its relations with the united states and. eventually cherami completely disregard either of these states. the death toll from the month long battle between armed groups in the libyan capital has risen to one hundred fifteen according to local health officials the latest escalation began into august with two powerful militias facing off both of them

airlines to the government in tripoli which is recognized by the u.s. and most western power as libya also has a separate rival administration based in the east of the country over the past few weeks houses have been shelled and vehicles torched throughout a large area in the southwest of tripoli and power supplies have been shut down. a film prime a deputy. a minister told r.t. that the conflict is being driven by him to ferentz from foreign power as moustapha as they cast on safely in k. you can watch the full shadow and hour from now but here's a short clip. this is a very challenging situation because of the militias who they took over every part of the country i mean and they are a bit east of the west the south they're everywhere and these militias they're getting support from internally and also from the outside clearly they for the

foreign intervention have to stop to stop supporting the bs militias they should be insisting on on the stability of the country because really it is in the best interests of everybody but think there is there is a lot of pressure today on those militias because be able to fit out of them and also because of what's going on in the last couple of weeks where they become under the much pressure so the government itself does not have much power has one power in its turn which is the power of money and wealth and these are the ones which are really kind of used over the last three years almost almost three years no to protect itself because unfortunately the government submitted its well to the militias and that's where the problem as. i feel watching weekly and fifteen minutes my colleague will receive she will be

with me with the latest world headlines. is a peninsula in the russian east one of the nation's least densely populated regions . there are no roads and nobody can chant and sponsor the scattered villages can only be reached by m m i don't. there is a dog sled race and it's different from others in this race professional athletes team up with working dogs that call cargo every day of their lives however the

prize money they compete for is on a par with the world's most prestigious races and the winner gets roughly forty seven thousand dollars. court putting on and that would of course is easier said than you think just. medical use downs for the league floors league argued that. the road crossing camp. is two thousand one hundred kilometers long and it's a record claim as the world's longest dog sled race. there.
