international relations. and the rate 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. to fear. back to depression actually trying to commit suicide this happened so many years ago but it's i can get into you nothing would have been done. it's eleven o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from last year with mean a day or two to welcome to the program. russia's defense ministry has released second by second radar data showing exactly. it happened in syrian airspace in the
4:02 pm
immediate run up to the downing of a russian il twenty plane the new evidence appears to refute his rail's claims that it's fine to jets had left the area when the russian plane was brought down earlier i discussed the findings in detail with artie's more gusta. how does this newly released radar data correlate with israel's statements well it doesn't correlate with israel's statements statements at all because russia had an as four hundred anti missile defense complex operational as it always is at the base which is where the russians based on the record everything second by second it's got a very high resolution radar with great reach and they've presented the data that was recorded and according to it the israeli group of four f. sixteen fighter bombers they split up some of them went further out into the sea the mediterranean and one of them stuck around at the same height as the russian
4:03 pm
twenty aircraft and he stayed there then we saw the two hundred missile that launched by the syrians in self defense they would be attacked bomb that we saw it go in for the israeli jet for the f. sixteen the an f. sixteen that was next to the russian aircraft. the trajectory was recorded we've got a second by second play through all of it and we see it a certain point these radio take up position at the same height in just behind the russian il twenty aircraft the missile saw a big target of more slow moving targets with a larger radar cross-section and changed to it so it we targeted the field twenty impacting it straight after the impact after the all twenty disappeared from radar as the israeli aircraft rapidly changed trajectory and height and basically flew away what this proves says the russian ministry of defense is that israel lied
4:04 pm
about being in israeli airspace by the time of the incident during the day two we have presented to you today is evidence that responsibility for the downing of these twenty lies entirely. so all claims go israel of involvement in the tragic incident that claimed the lives of fifteen bush and service members. there are now that russia have revealed this data what are they going to do about this tragic incident or any steps already outlined taking radical steps that are going to they're going to change the rules there in syria around syria because russia is very angry russia says israel did this on purpose the israeli pilots the military whoever commanded them did this on purpose they took cover and made the russian aircraft a target but first of all russia has now announced that it is sending three hundred
4:05 pm
missile defense systems which are an order of magnitude more powerful than anything else that syria has had before and they're going to give them to syria within two weeks and that is going to make any potential israeli forces into the area much more difficult we've already heard reaction from the israeli prime minister's office not to chuffed about that saying that. this could be incredibly dangerous of these systems fall into the wrong hands but let's not forget that russia avoided doing this avoided handing s. three hundred systems to syria at the request of israel since two thousand and thirteen so this is this is a big step that they're taking and they saying the rules have changed the rules on the ground have changed and pilots security overshadows everything the second step is that every syrian air defense command center will now be equipped with automated fire control systems what this means is that they're going to unite all of syria's
4:06 pm
air defenses so all the radars work for all the missiles it's highly computerized it's very advanced but this means that the syrians will be able to respond much faster to any air raid in their country. they'll be able to fire missiles much faster and much more accurately above all this systems come comes with an inbuilt feature friend or foe identification hopefully avoiding any more friendly fire incidents and the third step that they're going to take and not the least is that they're now going to. any aircraft or missile that is attacking syria from the mediterranean they go into john their satellite navigation their radars their communications equipment military communications equipment and the russians have said that they're open to taking even more steps. let's not get the thoughts of. a contributor for geopolitical monitor talk common also senior
4:07 pm
analyst at the lombardi let a new site thanks for joining us here on r.t. . let's start off with the new radar data. finally making israel acknowledge its role in the incident do you think that's going to happen or maybe even israel changing tactics in syria. first of all thank you. i do think israel will continue to. russian air defenses in syria. but probably different groups. for the past few years they've used. syria liberally we're speaking about hundreds of attacks over the past five years. from the mediterranean going through lebanon. crossing another country's airspace illegally. but at this point they will either try to find new ways
4:08 pm
of getting in and they're also try to suspect even early on test the three hundred system perhaps even. as a way to create an incident create a pro. cation then justify further. action or at least get the u.s. involved as well so far russia will have had a very good and productive relationship in syria in fact russia has actually helped stop the infiltration of hezbollah fighters in the golan heights so it's actually done favors for israel. and while the reaction has been muted from putin quite diplomatic his generals have been much more direct. in blaming the incident. twenty incident on israel and there certainly have tensions
4:09 pm
have become quite tense haven't they between the two countries who have had a longstanding friendship infor to come is now if we look at russia classifying the data to prove its arguments to the public why in europe opinion do you think western powers in similar cases tend to withhold that kind of information especially with accusations against moscow for example. well they hold information. to me anyway so obvious reasons they don't want to. first of all betray perhaps military secrets. and to control where the blame lies. we i mean especially in syria we've had a number of blame games most notably in the chemical weapons department. nobody never nobody know none of the chemical weapons. attacks are clear nobody
4:10 pm
really knows who's responsible. and the west has made sure that any reasonable test to explain these attacks. so this time russia has the full information and not surprised. released as clearly. as possible yeah i mean how do you expect israel to respond to russia's s. three hundred defense missiles in syria because russia you know they've outlined that they're not happy in what they're going to do. well that is the big test over the past over the next few months but syria did order these systems before i believe in fact syria had actually put a downpayment. on the systems which russia asked to return russia
4:11 pm
because they were trying to apiece. after all prime minister netanyahu and president putin have had a very close relationship the closest of any. prime minister putin was in moscow before the. may day parade. this year he was the only one of the let's call him the western camp. on hand and i actually believe micron's may have been as well but. at any rate the evolution ship was as close as possible perhaps both of them playing the macchiavelli end game. keep your friends close and your enemies closer. that's what strategists do so at this point. the relationship becomes much more complicated regardless of how israel is playing it very nonchalantly continuing to blame syria actually
4:12 pm
the blame was on iran and hezbollah more specifically. so it remains to be seen but i do suspect that there will be tests of the s. three hundred system already i've heard rumors in the past few years that israel was testing the s three hundred capabilities by flying over greece which is a quipped which deploys the three hundred to see how quickly the system would detect the presence without firing this of course yeah i mean alexander we have had a response from the. u.s. national security advisor john bolton called the s. three hundred deployment a mistake why do you think washington's hitting at something that's not directly affecting them. well apart from the fact that israel is a very close ally of the united states i believe there is a let's go to the business interest here the united states similar systems the
4:13 pm
patriot for example by raytheon and the u.s. military industry is one of america's most successful it is the one industry that is immune from. the tariffs again with china because nobody can substitute american defense systems for american buyers so we have a competition here with the rising return of russia's military technological might and so far in syria it has proven considerable now to that the fact that china has ordered the sukhoi thirty five. s. three hundred or s. four hundred systems just last week with americans sanctioning china. for this purchase you can see then the logic coming together. from that point of view. now. the u.s.
4:14 pm
has obviously justified their involvement in syria. under the guise of combat terrorism a fighting i said but we're seeing a little bit of a change in rhetoric and again will quote bolton he's added to the u.s. would stay in syria as long as quote radian forces are stationed outside iran what do you make of such a claim alexandra. well again john bolton claims are not surprised me given that he was and remains one of the biggest hawks in washington he was very enthusiastic bomber many middle eastern countries during the early part of the two thousand. so. the united states has not given any indication that it will lead eastern syria where the ploy will lead some one thousand five hundred two thousand troops and that. is one of the reasons i
4:15 pm
think why it was such a crucial battle to stop and compromise has been reached last week with between russia and turkey for developing deploying a demilitarized zone to avoid the wrecked conflict i think also in keeping with the . with the u.s. concerns because. we know that the united states likes to use the sanctions weapon with abandon so russia certainly doesn't need more. sanctions and turkey is officially still a member of nato so. and also has other interests in syria we have too many in short without going into all the details of the mess there are too many competing interests in this area particularly in. syria which
4:16 pm
also has if it didn't have enough troubled oil so we can see. just reasons for anybody to leave want. business to oil and so on and water well it certainly seems like a mess and it doesn't seem to be ending any time soon i was on the bruno contributor with geopolitical monitor dot com and senior analyst at the new site lombardi letter thank you very much for coming on to the program and giving us your opinion thank you thank you. to the news now 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 or 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. what we
4:17 pm
should expect this year. 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 has 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 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 the regime cater here nicolas maduro the dictatorship in cuba the stabilizing regime criminal regime
4:18 pm
of bashar al assad regime rocket man rocket rocket man 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 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 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
4:19 pm
two. jobs it seems the president's the 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 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 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.
4:20 pm
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 democracy is 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. 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. he's going to do good things before it is catastrophic. and i think is. the have worked
4:21 pm
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 break all the china in the shop and then you don't do it. there and after a while it starts to be seen as a bluff and he's probably getting to that point where most people see it as a bluff and respond to it accordingly instead of panicking. while the world awaits what trump will have to say at the general assembly china and the u.s. continue locking horns over trade terrorists and even the chill restrictions have come into effect goods with two hundred sixty billion dollars and now subject to extra levies china has already lashed out against the u.s.
4:22 pm
accusing it of protectionism and economic and germany artie's talking to has more on the crying child on. the back and forth between the u.s. and china is quickly escalating into an all out trade war between two of the world's biggest economies and this latest round d.c. has imposed penalties on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods and that's set to increase further at the beginning of next year trump clearly means business we're also cracking down on the unfair trade practices from china we are far more bullets we're going to go two hundred billion to twenty five percent. chinese very goods. and we will come back with war if they retaliate we have a lot more to come back with but china isn't taking any of this lightly they've hit back and added more tariffs on american products where the to one hundred ten billion dollars and it might not stop there trump has already threatened to impose tariffs on effectively all u.s. imports from china but what does this all mean for the average american consumer
4:23 pm
according to wal-mart the country's biggest retailer price hikes we are very concerned about the impact these terrorists who have on our business our customers our suppliers in the u.s. economy as a whole the company a list of the goods that will be hit ranging from food products to vehicles to toilet paper and wal-mart is not the only company quaking at the thought of an economic battle alibaba chairman jack ma is saying he can no longer deliver on bringing a million jobs to the u.s. market this promise was on the basis of friendly china u.s. cooperation and reasonably bilateral trade relations but the current situation has already destroyed that basis this promise can't be completed. and that's gotta hurt given how much trump loves to talk up how he's creating more jobs for americans nevertheless the u.s. president seems confident employment figures will continue to rise so it's full
4:24 pm
steam ahead challenge to put the us in a very strong bargaining position with billions of dollars in jobs flowing into our country and yet cost increases of thus far been almost unnoticeable if countries will not make deals with us they will be terrorist but china looks to be digging in their heels scrapping plan trade talks and tariffs are the only friction between washington and beijing the u.s. also slapped sanctions on china over the purchase of russian military equipment claiming the deal is a violation of a lot meant to punish moscow for alleged meddling and the two thousand and sixteen presidential election again china isn't backing down they said they're going to continue cooperation with russia and will take it to a new level beijing summoned the u.s. ambassador and recalled their navy commander from a trip to america calling the measures a mistake well in china you will move on we strongly call on the us to remedy the mistake and cancel the sanctions otherwise the u.s. has to bear the consequences. so as the stalemates pile up so does uncertainty for

chinese and americans alike. a month long battle raging between armed groups in the libyan capital has caused one hundred fifteen deaths according to health officials the two major armed groups fighting each other both aligned to the government in tripoli which is recognized by most western powers libya also has a separate rival administration based in the east of the country over the past few weeks has is have been shelled and vehicles torched in the style west of tripoli while power supplies have been cut off libya's former deputy prime minister told r.t. the conflict is being driven by factors both inside and outside the country was the far i wish i was our guest on sophie and co here's a preview. it is a very challenging situation because of the militias who they took over every part of the country i mean and they are against the of the west the south
4:26 pm
they are everywhere and these militias they are getting support from internally and also from the outside clearly they for the foreign intervention have to stop to stop supporting these militias they should be insisting on on the stability of the country because really it is in the best interests of everybody so the government itself does not have much power one power of attorney which is the power of money and wealth and these are the ones which are really kind of used over the last three years or almost almost three years now to protect itself because unfortunately the government submitted its well to the militias and that's where the problem as i.

the largest oil producer and opec side has rejected calls by donald trump to raise global korean supply it comes as the u.s. president bets to get all prices down i do not influence prices the markets are adequately supplied i don't know of any refiner in the world who is looking for oil and is not able to get it. last week donald trump said that opec quota must get prices down now adding that the middle east a owes washington and for the protection it provides we spoke with just by the wall or head of research in the london capital group you think the stability of the all market itself is at risk from this society us dispute to pose saudi arabia they have their own interests to come first and i think probably what they would prefer is a more stable if not slightly rising or price. obviously the the price goes it adds more coffers. for saudi arabia and they can do so without
4:28 pm
destabilizing the market which if they were to add more suppliers as dollar to others heard in effect requested then obviously they risk a more destabilization market and the effect it would have on their long term plans for the country so i think on this occasion saudi arabia put saudi arabia before they put america. around up at the knees and i'll be back at the top of the hour with more but first here a lot international time for a documentary called hot race color dogs. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active. in the nineteen seventies croteau had as the chair
