2:01 pm
president preside over the security council i am sure that's going to be the most watched security council meeting ever a lot of good things can happen. anticipation grows over donald trump speech at the u.n. general assembly on choose day with some hoping the president will use it to rebuild the shattered international relations. and the rates of sexual assaults in south africa now ranks among the world's highest with new cases opening old wounds we hear from some of the victims. of to fear. of depression actually trying to commit suicide this happened so many years ago. but i can get into nothing would have been done.
2:02 pm
it's nine o'clock am in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio with me welcome to the program and we go straight into our breaking news story russia's defense ministry has released second by second radar data showing exactly what happened in syrian airspace in the immediate run up to the downing of a russian l twenty plane the new evidence appears to refute israel's claims that its fighter jets had left the area when the russian plane was brought down to discuss this further i'm joined by artie's donald a quarter don you've been following this story watch the press conference what was said can you tell us whether the newly released radar data correlates with israel's claims you know well at least the russian defense ministry is saying that this is actually in direct contradiction to their claims of innocence during the presentation the russian defense ministry spokesperson. kind of gave a statement basically saying that let's take a listen to what. we have presented to you today is evidence that responsibility
2:03 pm
for the. twenty lies entirely which really is really. so clean like israel about the involvement in the tragic incident that claimed the lives of. this russian plane was shot down by syria's s. two hundred air defense system that was originally provided by russia to protect the country's airspace so naturally israel blamed syria for the downing of the plane but kind of gave basically a second by second explanation of the missiles trajectory and he says that intelligence suggests that israel israeli jets hid behind the much larger russian plane deliberately and leading to the missile locking onto it and locking onto it instead and this goes directly against israel's previous claim that israeli jets weren't even in the in the airspace of syria at the time that you they say that
2:04 pm
these jets were in israeli airspace so and they also said that the syrian missile system was firing indiscriminately ok it was a very comprehensive press conference and they showed a lot of detail that israel image is now that they've got this information and this evidence what a russian going to do about it well actually they made a statement about that just just today let's take a listen to what they said. they're going to that's on the qui sure that the implementation of these measures will cool some. of them from judge moves through no servicemen otherwise will be forced to react according to the situation at the time. now another thing russia did to retaliate against this was basically that they plan to arm syria with an asse three hundred missile defense system that's much more advanced missile defense system made by russia and actually the syrian government had already paid for it but. the russian government actually had agreed
2:05 pm
to delay the delivery at israel's request but now they're going back on that as a result of the downing of the plane so we're going to have to see how this is going to affect future israeli russian relations and what response israeli authorities will have to really affect this long term friendship that they had had in the past thank you donald quarter they're reporting for us. live now to foreign policy expert a rabbit a name and to discuss this further robert thanks for joining us here on again do you think that this declassified waiver evidence will finally make israel admit its part in the downing of the russian aircraft or do you think they'll carry on denying any responsibility. that's hard for me to judge. don't you think it is not true didn't start humanization but how much the israeli government cares about. its relationship with the russian
2:06 pm
government clearly one thing the israeli government as wanted from the russian government is to stop the delivery of the new missile system which clearly they're not going to get it or. maybe if they thought they could still get that that would change their behavior clearly. the delivery of the missile system is an escalation represents is really thinking israeli government thinking there's been a recent shift in the posture of the united states to adopt the israeli government why not syria that. russia is. to meet. iranian forces with droege the russians again. it's not a realistic demand. so it seems to me that means dynamic here is a shift to israeli government and u.s. government. seeming to them to lose in their gambit to pressure
2:07 pm
the. syrian government and the iranian government to accept u.s. israeli demands of the syrians have a new missile system that allows them to more accurately target is really a way that will limit the freedom of action of the israeli military in syria and that seems to be the main thing that the u.s. and israel care about it seems that you know the civil war in syrian involvement of russia and the other players who have gone in without a u.n. mandate has created so many twists and turns have it robert if we if we look at what bolton said say that the u.s. forces are going to stay in syria while iran forces are outside iran do you think the u.s. officials a setting new limits now do you think we've previously heard the that they were there to fight i sell to combat terrorism in your opinion has that changed. well the rhetoric is changed how watched the actual policy has changed or will
2:08 pm
change it's still a matter of speculation meaning that the demeanor rina for the u.s. military were means. used here in syria for direct u.s. military means if you're in syria far away from. the. kind you know the other conflicts that we're talking about so it's not clear if it's rhetoric the trouble. you know rhetoric there will be matched by real hardship. yes the trump the trumpet ministration shutdown the cia said it checked out the cia program in syria through armed chartists so it really remains to be seen how much this is going to be rhetoric and how much reality. if we go back to the radar evidence that we've just seen presented by the russian
2:09 pm
ministry of defense it was specially classified specifically declassified i suppose it's probably a good time to ask whether the western powers. would have a do the same why is it that they never seem to release such sensitive information publicly for the sake of investigation in similar instance why do you think that is where they do sometimes if they want to prove. i mean i think if the roles were reversed the u.s. might as well do the same if they felt that they had evidence that were just prove such a claim i think the key question here is you know who's going to enforce what we saw in the case of russian relations with the government of turkey when the. government of turkey shut down russian plane the government of turkey was initially quite defiant ultimately they changed their tune the israeli government has
2:10 pm
a past record of being you know lots of braggadocio its demands such as this demand that iranian forces leave syria which doesn't you know even former u.s. government officials are saying this is just not a realistic demand for the u.s. and israel to me so the key question here is who's going to enforce what. the russian government is capable of doing things that will make the israeli government unhappy and therefore apparently make the current us government unhappy and we will see. see if the israeli government maintains its past braggadocio i don't think that they can and don't even former us government. officials are saying this is not a r.c. spars you are saying that all iranian forces have to be out of syria this is not a pass the that the us and israeli governments can sustain they can say
2:11 pm
rhetorically it's not clear that they can do anything short of force well let's go back to the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or his echoed bolton sentiment basically issuing a threat to russia reverence for sponsors to the danning of the l twenty will have a quick listen first rather. many topics that we'll talk about with the russians i'm very confident that their latest decision to move the us to enter will be amongst them we are finding lots of places where they're working against american interests and we will hold them accountable for so doing he said that looking at gangster american interests what do you make of such comments. well of course pump a zero wants to everybody to think that whatever he wants equals the same thing as american interests but we see for example with the u.s. participation in the saudi war in yemen the majority. you know the whole world has
2:12 pm
discussed it by what the us helping the saudi security i mean including with army you know sixty seventy percent. or so on u.a.e. weapons coming in united states us refusing to saudi u.a.e. warplanes in their middle of their bombing runs bomb deal as a claim for why the u.s. continues or the saudi war is this is american it well it's not the interest of the majority of americans so what does that mean it's a meaningless phrase it means whatever current us government officials want to do that's what the american interest why is it in the interests of the a more majority of americans to use military force to make iranian forces leave syria the same iranian forces there together with syrian government. and russian government forces are defeating. isis in syria
2:13 pm
it's not it's not in the interest of the majority of americans or told me and in the interest of pompei oh because i can't hear what has thrown down with the saudis and the israeli government but that's not the majority. ok thanks very much for your expertise and expertise on your opinions there foreign policy expert robert naiman thanks. the white house says donald trump will meet the u.s. deputy attorney general on thursday that's after reports suggesting rod rosenstein is about to leave his position just days after media allege that he was proposing to secretly tape donald trump's calls for more now i'm joined by artie's caleb. how could this affect the u.s. political landscape and why is it so important. so all across the media we were hearing unsubstantiated reports that rod rosenstein
2:14 pm
the deputy attorney general who's overseeing the investigation into donald trump for allegedly colluding with russia all across the media we were seeing reports that he had been a virtually given his resignation and anticipation of being fired well we now have sarah huckabee sanders the white house press spokesperson coming forward and saying that that is not the case that donald trump just had a phone conversation with rod rosenstein and that once donald trump returns from the united nations on thursday when he's back in washington d.c. rod rosenstein and trump will be meeting in person now the reason that there was so much speculation that rod rosenstein and resigned or was possibly going to be fired by trump was in response to reports that he had had actually called for recording donald trump tape recording trump's phone conversations and other statements and then using the recordings to make the case that donald trump could be removed under
2:15 pm
the twenty fifth amendment of the u.s. constitution as a century mentally incapable of being president twenty fifth amendment lays out procedures for the president to be removed if he's rendered mentally incapable of holding his office now when those reports surfaced last week of donald trump was pressed about his reaction to rod rosenstein in all of this he was pressed this is how donald trump responded when asked if you would fire rod rosenstein for suggesting that he be removed after recording his phone calls take a listen we are looking at it overall though it's very early we just read the reports showing you know very shortly very you know the various reports that came out and have been coming out and we will make a determination but it is certainly. a very sad story when you see. now if indeed rod rosenstein had been fired that would have been a big blow to the investigation as he is overseeing. this alleged collusion
2:16 pm
investigation he's working with bob muller he is the deputy attorney general however it or repairs that those reports were not accurate that they did have a phone conversation they intend to meet on thursday there has been no resignation from rod rosenstein now the investigation the vesta geisha into alleged collusion with russia by donald trump during the twenty sixteen presidential election that investigation continues despite going on for almost two years without really discovering any clear results so a lot of questions are being raised about the investigation seems to proceed and rod rosenstein will these meeting with donald trump on thursday at the white house . everyone's going to be watching. kellett more reporting from washington thanks. to the news now world leaders and top diplomats are descending on you for the seventy third u.n. general assembly with the main session starting on tuesday the general debate is
2:17 pm
the most notable session is no is seen as less of a debate and more a chance to make a keynote speech and it seems donald trump is playing the headliner role. looks at what we should expect this year in the global political circus trump has taken it upon himself to be the greatest showman or just 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 and i'm sure that's going to be the most watched security council meeting ever 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 regime. represented in this body the arabian government. caters nicolas

maduro dictatorship. 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 destroy totally destroy north korea figure portions of the world are in conflict and some in fact are going to hell his escapades divided many and left few were indifferent and in the 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
2:19 pm
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 a lawyer and the 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 when they hear the president's close advisor rudy giuliani saying there's going to be regime change and 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 looked. forward to being at the united nations next week
2:20 pm
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 or 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. 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 his best chance to explain that he's not just a gung ho diplomat. who says he's going to do good things before it is catastrophic
2:21 pm
. i think use. the have worked in a few cases you know maybe in north korea north korea to. soften up its. its nuclear testing and its i c b m development. because it's so outrageous but if you do that too many times and you threaten you know to 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 a plus three year old student runs university committed suicide after being raped the girl was reportedly attacked by can mate but killed herself last month just days before she was meant to meet with investigators has story will. has provoked a wave of violence not just of the rising number of rape cases but also increasing
2:22 pm
violence on campuses across the country while authorities say they are trying to deal with the problem and the incidence is still not being properly addressed. and the men in this country seem to think that because this is a patriarchy that means that they have the power of a woman i think that's how the rape culture starts. he was at its national to history. and i was with him for about eighteen months. before he would be. called one day except the tennis courts about two weeks off to the incident try to tell my mum and she dismissed me as

well and we have a lot of people leave london and our foundation to say the least. and since last. think we have a problem with. men understanding no. because the attorneys can assume that they don't care for some odd reason no one should go through something that. a month long battle raging between all the graves in the libyan capital has caused one hundred fifteen deaths according to to to have. officials the two major armed groups fighting each other both aligned to the
