it's cool stuff is that it's a bit silly. just for the. sophisticated air defense and control systems as well as radar jamming that's russia's response after its minutes from playing with syria last week moscow says the blame lies with israel which denies responsibility also to come this hour the man overseeing the russian collusion probe u.s. attorney deputy attorney general ralston stein is expected to be fired that's
12:01 pm
according to media reports which earlier reported that rosenstein had suggested tapping donald trump's. president more preside over the security council i'm sure that's going to be the most watched security council meeting ever a lot of good things can happen. meanwhile anticipation grows over donald trump's speech at the u.n. general assembly on tuesday with some hoping the president will use its rebuild shattered international relations and the rights of its in south africa and i ranks among the world's highest with new cases opening old wounds we hear from some of the victims. part of depression actually trying to commit suicide this happened so many years ago. but i can get into you nothing would have been done.
12:02 pm
hello there are seven pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now to me putin's just held a phone conversation with israel's prime minister over russia's announcement of securing syrian airspace and protecting russia's craft there moscow's measures introduced at a briefing on monday do come a week after a russian military plane was downed over syria in incident moscow has blamed on israel. we're beginning to they're going to that's the quick sure that the implementation of these measures will cool some hot heads and will keep them from judge moves that could threaten our servicemen otherwise we'll be forced to react according to the situation at the time. this is going to change things perhaps radically but oscar was clear it's pilot safety is the overwhelming concern and overshadows everything else firstly russia will now supply syria with s.
12:03 pm
three hundred defense systems within two weeks and that indeed of itself is huge and systems are an order of magnitude more powerful with far greater reach than anything syria had before and this is going to make any israeli bombing far into syria much more problematic let's not forget russia held off and doing this for years at israel's request but you're coming in i want to underline that in twenty thirteen russia responded to israel's request to put on hold its supplies of the s. three hundred to syria that's despite the weaponry being ready for delivery and syrian military personnel having undergone training but today the situation has changed and that is not our fault. secondly syrian air defense command centers will now be equipped with automated fire control systems which means they'll be able to unify the entire country's ed defense network fire
12:04 pm
faster more accurately and above all out these systems come with a friend or foe identification subsystem hopefully preventing any more friendly fire incidents thirty any object be it a missile or a jet attacking syria from the mediterranean will be jammed its satellite navigation systems radar military communications which more scoops will call hotheads and help avoid another incident like this syrian president assad has been made aware these steps him and bludgeon me putin had a phone conversation and the russian leader said he's ready to intensify efforts to improve the situation and to restore syria's sovereignty putin's spokesperson also shrestha these steps are not targeted at any specific country but rather wholly and entirely about ensuring the safety and security of russian pilots just to recap
12:05 pm
russian il twenty aircraft was patrolling on syria's coast when four israeli f. sixteen jets showed up they warned the russians of what they were doing just one minute before they launch their strike in syria one minute not enough time to get clear of the area and as icing on the cake they then took cover concluded the russian military behind this twenty aircraft setting it up as a target the syrian air defense missiles purposefully so as the russians said certain steps are now having to be taken the situation in syria has changed again and not because of moscow's actions but against the if there were earlier in this martin j. told us that israel hasn't done itself and he faves. it was inevitable that some point was know who would cross the line in a special relationship to the house with russia and just go the tiny bit too far
12:06 pm
strengthening the arrangement which until now was an incredibly sweet deal for the israelis i mean i still forget to break the deal that putin gave israel for so long which was incredible i mean it allowed israel to not only take airstrikes we do it with impunity across the country but beyond that in july last year i was in moscow and calmest him so he would actually also pull back iranian positions away from the southern border with israel although as part of our special deal now you know what's israel jar is a gargantuan error i think all bets are off now. that reports are suggesting the u.s. deputy attorney general is about to leave his position just days after media allege that rod rotten stein was proposing to tap donald trump's course in order to remove him as president let's get more details now from marty's kind of muffin he's following the story for us in the u.s.
12:07 pm
good evening carol if true then what could be the ramifications of this development . well we're waiting yet for confirmation but at the moment we're seeing in media reports that rod rosenstein has virtually resigned from his position as deputy attorney general he hasn't offered a letter but he's simply virtually resigned in anticipation of u.s. president donald trump firing him now this report if it can be confirmed it comes just days after it was reported pretty widely in the us press that rod rosenstein had floated the idea of tape recording donald trump tape recording his phone calls and such and then arguing that donald trump was unfit to continue holding the u.s. office and that he be removed under the twenty fifth amendment of the us constitution which creates procedures for the president to be removed if he's incapacitated if he's incapable of holding the office psychologically or is injured or something to that effect so if indeed he has been fired this would largely be
12:08 pm
seen as a response to these reports that he was planning to tape donald trump had suggested taping down trump and somehow trying to remove him under the twenty fifth amendment of the u.s. constitution now donald trump was asked about about the possibility of firing rod rosenstein in response to these comments and he didn't give a clear answer donald trump simply replied that it was a sad situation that he would make a decision however if indeed a rod rosenstein was fired or if he resigned it's not exactly clear what's happened yet but if if indeed he did you know step down this will be a big blow to the russia gate investigation of the so-called investigation muller's probe into alleged collusion with russia because rod rosenstein is the deputy attorney general overseeing that investigation so that'll be seen as a pretty big blow to the credibility of that investigation if indeed rod rosenstein steps down ok thanks that was
12:09 pm
a kind of in there with the latest for us in new york thank you. meanwhile world leaders and top diplomats are descending on new york for the seventy third u.n. general assembly with the main session starting on tuesday the general debate as the most notable session is known is seen though as less of a debate and more of a chance to make a keynote speech and it does seem to that donald trump is playing the headliner role r.t.g. goes you've done enough looks at what we can expect. in the global political circus trump has taken it upon himself to be the greatest showman or jest depending on what side of the fence you're on and on tuesday the curtains will rise and the spotlight fall on trump taking center stage at one of this year's main spectacles the u.n. general assembly he's got a couple major possibilities really to help illuminate for the american people what america's place in the world is president will preside over the security council
12:10 pm
and i am sure that's going to be the most watched security council meeting ever well trumps the trickle debut at the u.n. g.a. last year provided a taste of what the u.s. president is capable of it is a massive source of embarrassment to the united nations rogue regimes represented in this body the arabian government. caters nicolas maduro dictatorship in cuba destabilizing regime criminal regime of bashar al assad regime rocket man rocket rocket. is on a suicide mission for himself united states is ready willing and able to totally destroy north korea totally ready willing and able. to lead a strong north korea your portions of the world are in conflict and some in fact are going to hell his escapades divided many left few were indifferent and in the
12:11 pm
buildup to this he is trump looks ready to outdo himself once again he will head the un security council meeting on iran next week that's while he's a lawyer shared this so i stated to the iranian government you must be truly afraid of being overthrown i don't know when we're going to overthrow them it could be in a few days months a couple of years but it's going to happen they're going to be overthrown juggling two. jobs it seems the president's to low end of freelance foreign policy adviser though at least he seems inspired by his boss's remarks threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience must work together to isolate giuliani's stun triggered some emergency damage control protocols in washington how seriously should it take the iranians
12:12 pm
when they hear the president's close advisor rudy giuliani saying there's going to be regime change look the united states is not looking to do a regime change in iran at all that as the u.s. continued to bully tehran over the nuclear issue but trump insists he's playing the good guy and means well i look forward to being at the united nations next week we're going to make a speech we're going to have many meetings a lot of good things can happen the u.n. though could take that with a pinch of salt for the international body good things meant the u.s. ditching unesco attempting to discredit the international criminal court and learning they're not so close when it comes to freedoms the united nations is not a friend of democracy it's not a friend to freedom it's not a friend even to the united states of america where as you know it has its home and it surely is not a threat to israel. and it's not just the u.n.
12:13 pm
that wants to get on the same page as trump it's also russia china north korea about the rest of the world really and on tuesday the u.s. president will have he's best chance to explain that he's not just a gung ho diplomat. who's going to do good things or it is. i think is. the have worked in a few cases you know maybe in north korea. there are three year to. soften up it. it's nuclear testing and it's i c b m development. because it's so outrageous but if you do that too many times and you threaten you know to break all the china in the shop and then you don't do it. after a while it starts to be seen as a bluff and he is probably getting to that point where most people see it as
12:14 pm
a bluff. respond to it accordingly instead of panicking. as sexual violence is a growing problem in south africa according to new estimates with the number of rapes in the country one of the highest in the world and one of the latest cases a twenty three year old student regime diversity committed suicide after being raped the girl was reportedly attacked back in may but killed herself last month just days before she was meant to meet with investigators when a story has provoked a wave of anger not just the rising number of rape cases but also increasing violence on campuses across the country while authorities do say they are trying to deal with the problem many instances still not being properly addressed. and the men in this country seem to think that because there's a patriarchy that means that they have the power of
12:15 pm
a woman and i think that's how that rape culture starts. he was lead to national tennis player. and i was with him for about eighteen months . before he. he's called one day next to the tennis courts about two weeks after the incident i try to tell my mum about it and she dismissed me as a speaking rubbish after a severe. bout of depression actually tried. to be. starting to sit there. it didn't destroy my life because it's what he did
12:16 pm
i mean us million still to this day. friends and i took a trip to cape town dance floor. i remember took shots with some of my friends and . that's what i remember. walk up the next morning in the. liquid that was not. mine that was on my body. and people have the right to say to me that i asked for it who asked for something that is so painful and i think he also sees it like that where he said nothing happened. it was fine we had fun we did effing. bad and give you permission to tell me. maybe i
12:17 pm
shouldn't have been so. open and friendly and nice i should have gone to the authorities and spoken about it this happened many years ago. let's get it. down to listing. they are in a sort of a class of their own but the people from the little class in the other class that are actually really suffering. and this section of these may be onto a scene we also have a problem with if they were to add more suppliers. in effect requested then obviously they risk a more destabilization market and the effect it would have on their longer term plans for the country so i think on this occasion saudi arabia put saudi arabia before they've put america why is donald trump so concerned about high oil prices at the moment is it just sort of from a political perspective and perhaps the approaching mid terms.
12:18 pm
well certainly donald trump likes to keep abreast of all hear all the issues at hand and make a pinion on it but i think he probably is right too in this scenario. the it's been shown time and time again that the strength of the u.s. economy very much tied to the price of oil it's still a big driving nation in the u.s. and the last thing donald trump wants to see as you rightly said approaching these midterm elections especially as the he's getting the economy picking up overseas saw four percent growth for the low first time in a while in the u.s. just in the past quarter he doesn't want that to be thrown away firstly by all prices which he's been commenting on loosen a second higher interest rates which he. also been commenting on so all of it together you can see why i was doing it and of course it's not just going to be america that's concerned here presumably you know a large import is europe will be concerned to what sort of impact could this have
12:19 pm
on the world economy. what i think we probably are a bit of a tipping point here where the since the all question two thousand and fourteen it's been an environment that really favored the buyers of oil rather than the sellers we're slipping back into the kind of environment where people are talking about one hundred dollars barrel oil again and so that's really an environment favors the producers are you going to see i would imagine g.d.p. doesn't necessarily have to contract globally but you're going to see the share of that g.d.p. shift from the as i said from the importers to the export is in effect and in terms of the world economy though is that is that a dangerous thing is that something that the world economy can absorb should we be worried by this. well it certainly can become a headwind i don't think at current price levels it has to be we just just recently
12:20 pm
we had a booming global economy prices were above one hundred dollars a barrel but i think every every extra dollar per hour you go you do start to cut prices and particularly in places like the u.k. where you have a fall in currency as well these things can get exacerbated and we are generally looking at a kind of stronger dollar environment so a lot of countries are facing a weak a national currency which obviously you can buy less oil with so sometimes these effects can be compounded and that can actually lead to big problems not necessarily for the country as a whole but particularly for consumers and consumer led economies just very very briefly jasper do you expect the oil price to go up again over the next six months to. a year. well i think i probably am part of the oil back to one hundred dollar per barrel crowd i don't think it happens this year perhaps not even early next year but i think we've we've
12:21 pm
a change here we're moving into a place where there isn't that's that that concern that there was a long time ago about a crashing or price it's much more stable prices stay above eighty in my opinion ok just politically good to talk shit i was just head of research at london capital drink thank you. disaster situation has been declared in germany after a military rocket test near the northwestern town of methane did spark a huge mall and fire drone footage captured the sigs. especially in the period of extreme drought as we had the summer this sort of thing can happen.
12:22 pm
and that's news wrap for this hour we're going to be back with more news in the headlines in just over half and. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up
12:23 pm
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 bath 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. with no make this manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the running clubs and protect themselves. in the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent.
12:24 pm
we can all middle of the room signals. the real news is. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter you have over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth if you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. it's hard to imagine the decades after the
