i. sanctions on iran which were imposed in may and july terrine filed a lawsuit against washington demanding it drop sanctions and compensate the damage it's caused to the iranian economy well meantime artie's roughly a video agency asked people in tehran what they think about the international court's ruling doing on the world knows that the u.s. has violated the law they don't have an all of their own words they signed the nuclear deal and now they've changed their mind even those that have problems with our country accepted that this act is illegal donald trump a scrape really crazy what is is saying it when he doesn't understand what his same . officials and even civilians say we should stand up against america's excessive

demands this ruling will not please mr trump and his friends and we will see their reaction but it will be futile only caught that in the us acted against human rights the hague ruin is completely sound food medicine fertilizer old go towards people's livelihoods they should never have to leave them but would see. we got reaction to the latest u.s. moves from various political experts this is the another example of the united states talking about the rules based democratic order and expecting everyone else to follow it but when it comes time for the united states to follow it you know they just simply change the rules and i'm certainly not a fan of the united states being governed by world bodies and accountable world bodies but the issue with the with the palestine issue and also with the iran issue is that and iran specifically you know we signed this agreement in one hundred fifty five agreed to be adjudicated by the international court of justice and then when they rule against united states we say ok we're going to take our toys and go home it doesn't look good it sets a bad precedent in it also makes the united states to look like look like someone

you can't do business with overseas the u.s. warrant to lay sanctions idea i.c.c. as well as a prosecution of judges would be under way by the u.s. actually because the u.s. believes that it's an exceptional state president trump is a real manifestation of this wrong idea that the u.s. is exceptional all other nations should abide by their rules and regulations except for the united states so therefore the u.s. is adamant to the rule of the law it has proved to be an irresponsible act or. after examining documents from an f.b.i. probe the white house has reportedly found nothing to support the sexual misconduct allegations against supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh scrutiny around the scandal doesn't tons of high questions about protesters putting pressure on republican senators to reconsider their support of a common or have begun to surface i don't quarter takes

a closer look. since brett kavanaugh his controversial supreme court nomination we've seen a number of political confrontations in the u.s. by concerned citizens who have been looking to give their elected representatives and earful something. mr mcconnell. was. sorry. to hear about some of it like that was the senator majority leader mitch mcconnell after his call for the senate to vote on kavanagh a.s.a.p. he was a likely target for enraged activists take another republican senator jeff flake who was ambushed in an elevator i'm going to. leave me i didn't tell anyone and you're telling all the names they don't matter what you want to tell you don't tell me that might have something down or don't want me to meet don't think those are your only. things. pretty awkward elevator moment there's also

republican senator david purdue who ran for the restroom after he was confronted by the asian games project we turned it on how can you not talk to women who have been assaulted how can you ignore our pleas the thing is though these are not random incidents they were all organized by the very same angio the so-called center for popular democracy and its sister organization and harassing politicians isn't the only thing in their arsenal they've also organized a number of mass protests. that protest alone resulted in over one hundred arrests but liberal organizations aren't only taking direct action against their political opponents the man justice engages in similar activism making dramatic political advertisements he normally does. and

to the u.s. supreme court accusing cavanagh of sexual assault when she tried to scream she said he put his hand over her mouth we can't let breast kavanaugh decide on our rights for a generation in the us is. wondering how they pay for all that well these organizations all have one thing in common they're funded by the controversial billionaire george soros styling himself as a so-called philanthropist soros has given millions to liberal causes around the globe and democrats at home in the us and. me. as his organization has already given over two million dollars to these ladies alone and hundreds of thousands more to the fund that helps make anti carven our commercials donald quarter r.t. . the united nations relief and works agency which supports

palestinian refugees has withdrawn some of its stuff from the gaza strip but the decision was taken about safety concerns off the protests erupted when the agency cut back its operations in the region instead it describes how angry demonstrators surrounded u.n. vehicles. there was a nasty incident two days ago when i was meeting with some colleagues in the hotel here in gaza city because i can meet in my office and when angry demonstrators came and tried to prevent us from leaving that place one car with colleagues got stuck and was surrounded by angry demonstrators for over an hour fortunately the situation was resolved peacefully that could have been a very nasty incident so fortunately so far no one has got hurt or directly attacked these protests come after weeks of tensions triggered by the u.s. decision to cut its funding to the agency also known as un r w a it now faces

a financial crisis and the u.s. says that other countries should have shared the financial burden more equally. when we made a u.s. contribution of sixty million in january we made it clear that the united states was no longer willing to shoulder the very disproportionate share of the burden of un r w a's costs that we had assumed for many years while america's withdrawal of our funding is also faced a backlash at home one hundred twelve members of the u.s. congress have signed a letter to the secretary of state demanding he reverse the decision they say the move threatens to destabilize the region well we spoke to the head of the u.n. agency in gaza but he says that funding is just one part of the issue. work would be made easier if they are stable predictable funding arrangements sold to countries that help does this year need to continue this next year and and hopefully we will get more and i hope that the old will do

a bit more than they are currently doing to ensure that we can fully and properly function here in gaza but the problem is not the us and its government the problem is that the international community including. his from my perspective speaking on behalf of the refugees not putting enough effort into finding a political solution what is needed is not member states criticizing each other what is needed is member states working together to bring israel and palestine to the table to have a proper discussion and negotiation about a peaceful solution that is what's needed most. and now the story of a true hero and traffic controller sacrificed his life to save others during the earthquake. and refused to leave an apple control center and instead help the one last plane take off to safety.

i heard about the polo earthquake here in memphis are around the month praying time and my wife told of going to one's grandmother directly about what happened and followed his grandmother was worried about his condition and called him all of the family here tried to call ago and many times again has two mobile phone numbers and they both couldn't be reached.

we didn't give up trying to call him and then called his father his father is a very calm person and said that a girl in the might still be on duty so that could be why his mobile phone is off maybe after he finishes again we'll call back so we tried to call a go all night but couldn't contact him. and at that time i called his. she said that i'd gone had died because he jumped

from the air traffic control tower she cannot speak anymore she's only crying loudly his mother never thought that one of the victims would be one of our family antonius gonna want to go away. and i thanks for joining us so far for this program plenty more of your stories coming your way in just a. the be.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some have wanted. to do like to be crooks this is like the before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the lawyers in the. city. thanks for joining us today welfare activism under the banner of meat is murder is

becoming increasingly militant in france which has seen a recent spike in attacks on slaughterhouse as we spoke to one french butcher who says the windows of his shop were smashed by weekends. valid. the incident happened around three in the morning i came down and saw that the door had been hit in three places that they also painted the still species here on the enemy i'm ok. i took pictures the police arrived i will show you what you want there is the picture of the damaged door. these are the marks on. it here's where it says speciesism and these are the rocks they used to smash the glass. this case though is just one of many including splattering shops selling meat with fake blood setting slaughterhouses on fire and defacing a butchers with graffiti the incidents are prompted wired butchers to send

a letter to the french president emanuel background in a bid to prevent more violence. this is a civil war. mr president should stick up arms to defend themselves and their businesses. and i believe these people should be punished as one of the large corporations that only attacks small businesses because it's the people who. does everybody have to start eating vegetables only because these. everyone has their own preferences and we must respect the choice. meanwhile the butchers have already gained some support from officials with the head of the republican party saying two hundred thousand euros in compensation will be paid out to those affected and we spoke to animal rights activist. who has mixed feelings about the recent spate of incidents. to me these activists think that animal rights must be protected similarly to human rights so it's not surprising that the attack

slaughter houses and butchers shops and if the law authorizes immoral acts they may think what they do is justified in terms of morality anything that may stop the killing of animals for meat is acceptable but i am not sure whether illegal actions are the best way to promote animal rights the question we should ask ourselves is whether it is an effective way to raise awareness about animal suffering and animal rights or if it's a good strategy then we should do it. to. a russian or hockey teams concern for one of its injured female stars has resulted in an apparent own goal after the pictures of her it posted sparked a sexism while the star herself though doesn't see any problem. her. lips.

shut. up shut . up. or. to a. player. or a. letter and little know it came as a great surprise to me that this photo of a norma i'm sorry can't bottom the whole of instagram is packed with photos just like it i can understand why it has triggered such response to all keep up posted it because they admired michael bottom the idea was

a simple as that clear. cut . cut from the truth of the very concept of sexism is not appropriate for tired much of a little bit of sexuality to their predominant female t.v. the exploitation of my sexuality is approved by new people who like themselves often face a public auction but what's the point of staying fit the more spending the most part of my life in the gym if i can display it no that won't change but they're very clear. if you've been following the us media as of late you would be forgiven for thinking the deep political division of the country is a relatively recent phenomenon one that's down essentially to just one. once the three has divided america troposphere are trying to play on fears and divide us off the era of donald trump's divide and conquer agenda.

to define a country he's further dividing us and i'm really concerned about whether this could spill over into the streets however a new study argues that deep political divisions in america predate trump by quite some time it looked at the number of bills in congress to vote co-sponsored by members from both parties and found that since the nine hundred seventy s. when nixon was in office and divisions were already pretty bad factionalism has only gotten worse and that this has not depended on who's in charge and we discussed the issue with political scientist horace cooper who claims that the term political diversion is currently being exploited by those unhappy about the outcome of the last us presidential election. the idea that america is divided the way that it is because president is in office is just simply not true

what we see instead are. groups that are very disappointed with the election outcome and just as they were frustrated in the year two thousand and even just as they were frustrated in one hundred seventy two these people on the left side of the political aisle. with. you are you doing question this or that group is better for more than fifty years the only difference is now they speak openly. the news program continues in about half and i'll hope you can join us then.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic developments only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that

it has known as the i intend them included to use this data and. this. is furthest from. nor make its manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flame and merry go round. the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. doing the rooms i mean real news is really works.

hello and welcome to worlds apart at the face repent at leisure that seems to be the international community's mojo when it comes to leave having enforced regime change in two thousand and eleven so western countries lobbied for a stillborn political agreement in two thousand and fifteen and now push for nationwide elections by the end of this year is libya ready for yet another exercise an expert democracy to discuss that i'm now joined by. former ambassador to the united arab emirates and the country standing candidate for presidency mr mayor that's good to talk to you thank you very much and welcome to moscow thank you very much and thank you for now you've put forth your account of this not only

before elections were formally announced but even before the legal framework of the constitution has been agreed upon realistically speaking when do you hope to see your name on the ballot. first of all i would like to say that the very act of unknowns in candidacy was a deliberate political act that was meant to encourage the holding of elections quite frankly i think legitimacy is in libya have deteriorated and have fragmented and it is extremely important that we have a renewed legitimacy of a presidency that has the vote of the libyan people and that is why. he did announce the candidacy quite early in march as a matter of fact and you have to hope that the elections felt pressed yes indeed and i think that that was agreed and agreed in public in front of heads of state and the whole world community the paris agreement was blessed by the united nations and i feel the dates in that agreement should be respected and the tenth of that

december is the day of the election and i think you would agree with me that holding elections as early as possible would perhaps serve you well politically but you also know that there are many observers. in libya and abroad with no skin in the game who saved the country's not simply ready for that kind of a democratic exercise not ready security wise but in terms of the legal foundations you still have don't have a full fledged constitution. are you putting your political ambitions before the abilities of your country first of all i don't think it is the right of any other nation to determine when we have our lections i think it is in the end as the french will log and hard as you know and we have to be very accurate about this it is for libyan stakeholders the main players in libya who met in paris and it's a libyan agreement that was announced in paris but it's by no means a french agreement it is a libyan agreement and all four parties agreed to the date of december tenth no

they also agreed that there should be a constitutional framework constitutional framework does not mean constitution because the temporary constitutional declaration that the. i have is a constitutional framework and as a matter of fact there is a decree number five for the year two thousand and fourteen that voted the whole house of representatives voted for which oppose presidential elections but postponed their date the date was set in paris and we should respect it because we only need deadlines in order to accomplish anything in life from the previous century yes i can see that you are very in a vast that in the concept of legitimacy that is very popular in the west and. a lot of it here is if you live in the west as well but i struggle to understand what legitimacy really means and war torn countries are going to buy bread let along going to vote is is a life risk still you know humans are not animals it is not by bread alone that we

live and this is actually where it is important especially where you. can but to tell the people that they should just be content by eating bread and having the basics. not have the basics and leave it no they don't and people people do have aspirations like freedom and they do have a separation like living in dignity and in a dignified human life and to have that they need to choose their own leadership and quite frankly to deny them the right to vote with the pretext that it's not time yet or you don't have bread so you should not be asking for the vote they should vote for people who will provide the bread and who will provide the services unfortunately we have a party of the status quo people who have grown very comfortable to the position positions they are in and then threaten their threatened by the elections but we should not quest for this we should demand the elections not because of me over any other candidate but because because it's the right of the libyan people i will not

contesting the idea of elections i'm contesting for that the conditions for those elections are there and from what i know more than a hundred people have been killed almost four hundred injured in and around tripoli since they end of august that's. hardly a good example of that you know proper political process no but you know the very people who cause these wars and these critters scrimmages and these and these killings and all of this they're precisely the people who do not want the elections because they know they're going to lose and these are the terrorists basic.
