bill shots and international relations. and the rate of sexual assaults in south africa and their ranks among the world's highest with the new cases opening old wounds and we hear from some of the victims. of this of. back to creation actually trying to commit suicide this happened so many years ago . it's. it's midnight here in moscow and you're watching international live from last year with mina to richard welcome to the program. 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 surveillance plane last week the new evidence appears to refute israel's claims that its fighter jets had left the area when the russian plane was brought down. i discussed the findings in the studio with lord castillo. 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 hadn't as four hundred anti missile defense complex operational as it always is at the airbase which is where the russians based and it recorded 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 ill twenty aircraft and he stayed there then we saw the two hundred missile the launch by the syrians in self defense they would be attacked bombed then 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 craft take up position at the same height in just behind the russian il twenty aircraft the missile saw a bigger target a more slow moving target with a larger radar cross-section and changed to it so it we targeted. twenty impacting it straight after the impact of the old 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 about its being in israeli airspace by the time of the incident the data we have presented to you today is evidence that risk. instability for the downing of the twenty lies

entirely with the israeli air force so all claims go israel about its involvement in the tragic incident that claimed the lives of fifteen russian service members. there are now that russia have revealed this data what are they going to do about this tragic incident are any steps already outlined they're 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 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 too 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 voided 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 pilot 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 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. respond much

faster to any air raid in their country they'll be able to fire missiles much faster and much more accurately but 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 jam any aircraft or missile that is attacking syria from the mediterranean they go in to john the satellite navigation their radars their communications equipment military communications equipment and the russians have said that they're open to taking even more steps on policy expert robert naiman told us it's unclear how the west would have responded in a similar situation. the u.s. does sometimes. release such information one could argue but is are so reluctant to do so as you point out partly because they claim you know this is

classified sources and that there's partly because the claim that their work should be good enough we should all take their word and you know this is a dynamic that we see over and over that they whine. about opinion u.s. public opinion. statements u.s. government officials at face value not to root demand evidence because they want to preserve the ability to. have such authority such a question authority in the future. to the news that the world leaders and top diplomats are descending on new york for the seventy third u.n. general assembly with the main session starting on cheers day the general debate as the most notable session is known is seen as less of a debate and more a chance to make a keynote speech at it seems donald trump is playing the headliner all artes. 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 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 a regime that caters here nicolas maduro dictatorship in cuba

destabilizing regime criminal regime of bush. 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 major 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 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 low end of freelance foreign policy adviser though at least he seems inspired by his bosses 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. 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 is 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. he's going to do good things where it is. he says i think. the have worked in

a few cases you know maybe in north korea. north korea to. soften up its stance on. its nuclear testing and its high sierra 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. then 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 bluff and respond to it accordingly instead of panicking. and the largest oil producer in opec saudi arabia has rejected calls by donald trump to raise the global crude supply it comes as the u.s. president beds to get home 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 quote must get prices down now adding that the middle east owes washington for the protection it provides we spoke with just head of research at the london capital where he thinks the stability of the oil market itself is at risk from this saudi u.s. dispute topos 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 all price. obviously there are the pros goes it adds more coffers. for saudi arabia and they can do so without destabilizing the market which if they were to add more suppliers as doubletalk was in effect requested their losses 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 before they've put america on. sexual violence is a growing problem in south africa according to new estimates of the number of rapes in the country one of the highest in the world in one of the latest cases a twenty three year old student at rhodes university 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 her story has provoked a wave of anger not just at the rising numbers of rape cases but also increasing violence on campuses across the country while authorities say they are trying to deal with the problem many incidents are still not being properly addressed. this is a patriarchy and the men in this country seem to think that because there's a patriarchy that means that they have

a woman and i think that's how the rape culture starts. he was ready to national tennis. and i was with him for about eighteen months. before he be. he's called one day next to the tennis courts about two weeks off to the incident try to tell my mom about it and she dismissed me as a speaking rubbish after a severe. bout of depression i actually tried. starting to get they. didn't destroy my life because of what he did 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 and they were. liquid that was not. mine it was on my body. and people have the right to say to me that i asked for it like 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 our thing i found out bad and give you permission to touch me.

maybe i shouldn't have been so. open and friendly and nice i should've gone to the authorities and spoken about it this happened so many years ago. but i can get in. to listing. they are in a sort of a class of their own but the people from the middle class and lower class that are actually. really suffering these rapes and sexual abuse maybe onto a scene we also have a problem with but they say p.s. sometimes losing fouls losing evidence we've got that happening in the hospitals as well and we have a lot of people who find that our foundation he said. last .

i think we have a problem with men understanding no. because. to me it would belong to them for some odd reason no one should go through something that. donald trump supremes court nominee faces fresh charges of sexual misconduct that ramirez reportedly claims that brett kavanaugh exposed himself to a yale university college party in the one nine hundred eighty s. it comes a week after covering his confirmation hearing in the senate was postponed over accusations of an attempted rape thirty six years ago that approximating the cause to stop the nomination. this was attempted rape i believe

perfessor ford judge kavanaugh has lied multiple times she doesn't kavanaugh have the same presumption of innocence as anyone else in america his credibility is already very questionable in my mind and in the minds of a lot of my fellow judiciary committee members the democrats i don't have eyes lying about i believe her let's put it that way there is credibility to her story. kavanah accuser christine blasi forward is expected to testify in a senate open hearing on thursday cabinet denies the allegations and says he also wants to testify before the committee that will trump has claimed that the accusations against his nominee are unsubstantiated and politically motivated. i am george gascon and i look forward to a vote. it will come out of the woodwork from thirty six years ago or thirty years ago. that richard is over so that happens to my every need it's

totally political totally. well we've got two gentlemen joining us today to discuss this matter rich and good stein former hillary clinton presidential campaign advisor and steve malzberg a t.v. host and political commentator welcome to the program both of you we'll start with you richard can you see why many would say that these claims are totally political and what would you say to those people if that was the case. what is the interest of these women whose lives will never be the same who will be harassed we know that christine glossy four has already had death threats she's had to move out of her house she's not living with her kids anymore. not somebody who's been frankly all that political what possible motive would she have had six years ago to have told her therapist her individual therapist and her family therapist about

this story six years ago if she was to listen to donald trump making it up listen the fact of the matter is donald trump has had seventeen women cam out of the woodwork saying that he sexually abused them and he says all of them are liars so of course he's going to accuse them of lying you know who else said they were people were lying harvey weinstein said all the women were lying and roger als said all the and everyone you know from the president on down basically saying this woman is making it up these women are making it up it's political it didn't happen right that's basically what he's saying is it didn't happen and we know as a matter of statistics what high percentage of women are subject to some sort of sexual assault or sexual harassment and every single one of them most of whom like christine busey ford did not talk about because they were embarrassed they didn't want their family to know they didn't want their friends to know this was

a they were the subject of this and yet it was a source of embarrassment to them and there are so many women out there that feel that the republicans are already hemorrhaging suburban women and this is only going to make it worse because basically what the president and his cronies in congress are saying is you're lying you lie to your therapist six years ago when you made this up why in the world would she have done that not knowing the right cabinet was going to be another director and what the ira pay and the welfare of his notes. the therapist the therapist notes show that she claimed there were four witnesses in the room she says oh no the therapist took the notes wrong there were two so give me a break with what she told the therapist. steve it did take anyone who was there you can see you can see that the therapist read it happens that christine bless you for it said six years ago it happened now you're quibbling about how many people were in the room so can we stipulate that it happened and then we're only we're only

about how many people will it is that it well i think that's what you're doing because you say i think my barely actually believe it has been that something. you're talking about you know i totally believe that the witnesses on you you talk about the witnesses how crucial do you think. that evidence would be in this investigation there are no witnesses there the commission mitch mcconnell today said that none of nobody nobody saw it nobody knows this is for both both accusations there are no witnesses period. that's not true to mark judge we know who wrote a book called waste that is true of all the drinking that he and cavanaugh and others did well six years me mark that. i had that was not there there was no such party put him under oath or let's hear him say that under oath knowing that he

could be tried with perjury and lets him run the risk that he didn't tell any of his friends contemporaneously that's why you know it all and let's get all your friend has a woman accuses you yeah right steve if we look at kevin his reputation ok you know it's yet to. he testify cation death to happen is you know the decisions yet to be made but is his reputation already damaged whether those claims are true or not. of course where the old adage is where do you go to get your good name back i mean he has daughters he has daughters two young daughters this is a travesty but when you're being run by leftist attorneys leftist activist attorneys as these accusers are that's what's going to happen i have a question for richard cory booker who is a senator a democrat from new jersey who sits on the judiciary committee in one thousand nine

hundred ninety two wrote an article in a stanford college newspaper saying he groped a woman's breasts against her wishes keith ellison who is the assistant chair of the dnd say and is running for attorney general of minnesota was accused is accused by his girlfriend of sexual abuse and nobody on the democratic side cares one bit explain that richard so no no dear and this is what we call what about ism in other words if you have something that you can't really defend i say well what about this one what and you know why i don't have that inquiry well on the supreme court any time soon nobody nobody is putting keith ellison on a nine person supreme court for the rest of his life rendering to someone who's only when the supreme court every federal america. no it's no no we're steve look the fact of the matter is we have somebody who bragged about grabbing people women

you know strangers by their genitals as president i'd states so it should come as a surprise to any of it and rattle hurted he bragged about elected he got he got exactly he got elected which is exactly why people like you who are in his camp are prepared to let anything go the problem is the women turned out in greater numbers the day after his inaugural that people turned ought force inaugural because they were nauseated about having something like that and that's why in all these elections that we've seen since that women's march republicans are coming way short of you to their usual numbers and you know we'll see what happens on election day steve on shantaram now that she has got a good point that we want should happen if he is found guilty does anything. to support no matter how waltz is what richard saying if kava know what i mean if cavanaugh is found guilty. i don't know who would find him guilty this

is in a trial if if if witnesses and evidence that we have not seen comes to light credible evidence then i guess the president with you would withdraw the nomination i will get another conservative in there and then i'm sure.
