subscribe to rob people also get all of the content for just twelve euros fifty per month. in headlines of three pm from moscow america's upcoming midterm elections sees the media go all out with pup those voters even long running sitcom the big bang theory weighing in by sneaking an antique message into the credit. light of the spotlight washington issues

a carefully worded call urging the saudis to stop bombing populated areas and peace in the u.k. westminster are left incredulous is the government tries to defend arms sales. which is under threat and so engaged in support of allegiance mcguffin i mean if we did. it it would be the. grains to regain its territory in syria killing more than forty american part fighters close to the border with iraq coming up we'll look into the reasons behind the groups. hi there good afternoon my name is kevin though in this is out international the life of me stay with me for next thirty minutes for this latest news update them starting this after more than three years of devastating war the united states is now called on saudi arabia to stop its strikes on populated areas of yemen

washington is urging all sides in the civil war to reach a cease fire agreement in the coming weeks it's hanging on to its multibillion dollar weapons contracts though with saudi arabia meantime the british government which is also a major supplier is now facing pressure in parliament for its dealings with let's get the latest from london this is. going to say more talks in parliament today on yemen going to mention of promises questions welcome expect there's some pretty bitter opposition to arming the saudis isn't there. indeed kevin as as we sit here the u.s. and britain are under great scrutiny for their support of the saudi led coalition in yemen specifically in light of the recent. scandal we do know that the latest comments carefully worded ones coming from washington have indicated they're calling for a cease fire and then end airstrikes by the saudi led coalition within thirty days as well as a return to the negotiation table including at the united nations when it comes to

yemen here in the u.k. also patience seems to be dwindling when it comes to this topic with u.k. ministers being grilled inside parliament just yesterday we saw the middle east minister alistair burt appear for questioning where a lots of questions were raised about the controversial. britons continuing to supply weapons to saudi arabia something that this particular minister considered continued to insist does not affect the situation on the ground. you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of into international law in complete mistakes and the only thing that we don't do is actually press the button to drop the bomb supplies for those who need to defend themselves or graves profiting civilians is going to you know if these are aware of their six people or if i do not agree that if united kingdom was simply to. deny its

support for a party which is under threat and so engaged in support of the legitimacy government i mean if we do that. it would go over your. well u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt is also going to be facing a cross-examination at the house of commons later today following reports in the british media that the british intelligence may have had. prior knowledge about the . scandal before it unraveled continuing we're continuing to see the position of the british government be that they see no link between the case and the situation in saudi arabia and yemen certainly a shift seems to be. very much needed given the recent numbers having revealed that's the number of death. people who died in yemen is actually five times higher

than thought by the united nations that kept citing the number of ten thousand people but it's been said now that that toll has reached fifty six thousand. a journalist a middle east commentator and all darwish about this he says it's unlikely that the u.k. will hold cells to riyadh when asked before. as

still the arms sales from britain is still. within the rules i don't see a member of parliament good to. stop with arms sale and put six thousand people in my constituency out of work so you have to actually get that balance here and the pradhan office probably in or lie in which feeds the downing street always it is better to be engaged with a country so you can exert pressure behind the closed doors and twist arms very close doors are of the megaphone diplomacy which is practiced by the america that's not actually the british way of doing things. next look at this see which are you still terrorists have gang territory in syria close to the border with iraq killing over forty us but fighters during offensive that washington had previously planned that are useful was almost completely decimated as he goes down off exclaims. from

all the boasting you may have gotten the idea that ms alarming state in syria is so two thousand and sixteen the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory we've done a good job with those as we have just absolutely decimated those but the latest carnage is a clear signal that the terrorists are not ready to buckle just yet they've squeezed every drop of profit from the victory they've been craving for so long from obvious territorial gains to a massive p.r. push they filmed their operation and spoils of war from all thinkable angles it seems even with reinforcements america's proxy ground force the kurds couldn't hold off the surprise onslaught hard for its incursion tuesday both sides but we will continue to go after them in the weeks ahead i saw the latest propaganda video even includes a not so subtle threat a skyline view of the government controlled town but hold on just how much of

a surprise was this latest isola tag really short they moved in under the cover of a sandstorm but it's not like the kurds which are in charge of eastern syria didn't know i still was on their porch they have been fighting terrorists in the area for a whole year but despite their best efforts to little success and that could be due to the fact that their effort has been dwindling gradually apart from i saw the kurdish fighters have been focusing on skirmishes with the syrian army and repelling the turkish operation against them in the north this plays into the yard as sounds perfectly since assad's forces are not going anywhere and neither is turkey as president erdogan tease that the next phase of what he calls an anti terror operation in syria used him as you know we have started active intervention operations against the terror organization in the last couple of days we will. soon

come down hard on the terror organization with more extensive and effective operations the united states also has been convincing the world it's hell bent on cleansing syria of terrorists yet years on it's their area of responsibility where i still strikes well we don't have a canter reining in mission here we have a defeat isis mission that competition between all these forces allows for isis to play back and forth every surrounding neighbor of syria including the syrian government have had other enemies to fight in other concerns isis is those tom number two it's a difficult problem it's also a divided syria because you have a border region where you rocks on one side the syrian the democratic forces on the other backed by the united states and a syrian army backed by russia and iran are on the other there are many players in the syrian conflict and all of them are hungry for geopolitical bounty in syria and

writing off i still really means risking another wave of terrorist resurgence. elsewhere in syria tensions have erupted as druze arabs protest in the local election in the golan heights it's a disputed territory between syria and israel dozens of local to gnome's the vote is illegal and the pro israeli. lobby of soldiers used to go to break up demonstrations when crowds tried to block the entrances to polling stations and several villages many people living in the israeli occupied areas refused to take up israeli citizenship and consider themselves through in the belief that for years it's the first local elections since israel took control of the golan heights in one hundred sixty seven for its part the israeli government approved the poll last year after an appeal from pro israeli villages weskits of the thoughts moment go to a political analyst on the line that. you could ask why the time. of this will get

maybe get out of the minute let's talk about the legality first of all syria point blank says these are illegal elections community living there saying they don't want this to happen they're not going to take part in the boycotting it first of all is this vote illegal or legal. it's definitely illegal well it's not it's and it's not an opinion by the syrian government it is the decision by the security council of the united nations the united nations issued the resolution two forty two that calls upon israel to withdraw immediately from the golan heights from the west bank and gaza that was in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven the. perseverance it continues and it has been there for a very long time and that is that it's impressive that the people. you know calling for their national rights they are still standing fast and they're considering themselves syrian citizens and therefore under international law they are under occupation the occupying force has no right to interfere with their representation

they are supposed to pick their own representation and that is according to international humanitarian law geneva conventions that is on one side there on the other side there is also the people in measure and in the golan heights perceived these persons who are who are so-called running for the so-called elections they are caught up the elements they are collaborators with the enemy with the collaborators with the occupying force they are expecting the people to vote for people who are collaborating with the occupying force that is completely illogical and the third point is the point that you raised at the beginning the timing it's impressive that these people in the occupied golan heights. holding on to their national city and identity at the time when so many arab countries are you know are making deals with the israelis mr netanyahu was in there were naturally the words not naturalization of a relationship with with the. with qatar and they simply and there and it's really

in. trysting that this did in the golan heights are not really a buying all this they do believe that their rights of rights of syrian citizens and syrian land they have the right to be to be in their own country to liberate their country from foreign occupation and that is it does israel enjoy any support in that area that as a. yes there are collaborators as i just mentioned there are always good operators when there is a foreign occupation people who you know who want to benefit from the presence of the israelis in order to get their own private benefits or their own businesses getting around but the majority of the people the twenty three thousand people and you can see that in the images you just showed and the syrians are taken to the streets they are not just boycotting their village acting the entirety of the mobilization that is falsely called the democratic process that isn't there is no democratic process under international law when it comes to occupation the process is supposed to be

a local between the locals there without any interference from the occupying force thank you saud security please learn will follow the vote closely thanks for. just go talk a vote still the midterm elections in the u.s. is seems everyone who's anyone has got an opinion or even the popular t.v. comedy series the big bang theory chipped in now here we go is an anti trump message in its credit spirally caleb maupin reports. that much of the rhetoric is feeding public discord and social division more seriously. but the mid-term elections approaching things are getting intense across the united states bombs are being sent through the mail shootings are happening and talk of division is everywhere now in this context you would expect that american media would try to calm people down bring them together well not this time just turn on c.n.n. this president has radicalized so many more people than isis ever did the commentator has sense apologized but trump wouldn't be trump if he didn't fire back

there was a woman who was just on c.n.n. a short while ago saying that you have radicalized more people than isis that was c.n.n. tonight well let this be some kind of a sick woman that's media and politicians but entertainment is where americans go to relax maybe have a few good laughs but now a lot of comedians have found a new soapbox to stand on even a show that's about nerds with poor social skills is starting to put up anti trust messages. if you knew a divine wisdom belief or fascist hate filled fan mongering demagogic truth shuttering socratic govt cheeta is what we need right now then you know they will be done but if there was inclined to more freedom more love more compassion i submissively that though encouraged to turn out in that general direction h.b.o. comedian john oliver did a piece about state attorney generals there on the ballot in thirty different

states come november for some reason he decided to criticize exclusively republican candidates across the country if you live in wisconsin just google brad she thousand dollar coins and you'll learn about how your money is to spend ten grand of taxpayer money on coins reading. which stands for his actual personal motto kicking ass everytime. and music is now all about politics r. and b. star farrah williams is threatening to sue donald trump because trump supporters were listening to. hit song happy while they were waiting for the president to come on stage it seems that some musicians would like to band the make america great again crowd for listening to their music if only they could for a row has not and will not grant you permission to publicly perform the worries broadcast or disseminate any of his music paid campaign advertising in the united states is very closely regulated by law however it seems that a lot of american t.v.

not just news but also comedy shows celebrity gossip is taking sides and throwing punches no matter where you go in the united states and punches no matter where you go in the united states you can't escape the great american divide let's say or it was a report of one particular story that donald trump had actually recruited more terrorists than isis ok that was then met with an apology and the apology was then covered and then we covered the coverage of the apology and then whether the coverage of the coverage of the apology of the first statement was excessive so the media now are consuming our new you see we talk about living in the bubble we're in the lead to media we believe that everyone sees things the way we do or that they care about things that we do it's for them sounds you think america cares do you think somebody is going to say you know what i was going to vote for whatever but

doggone it i watched the big bang theory and i watched this one flash and i changed my mind come on it's vanity license plate. so the republican party's lost his most high profile celebrity support to today another twist to the two it's a rather rough kind us sees says he's been used to be thinks of to be linked to that company to convince african-americans to ditch support for the rival democratic party conservative counter so in his behind the company early appraise the collaboration with weston she. i'm blessed to say that this logo. these colors were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero kanye west. be well didn't go down well with him in one tweet west said his eyes were now open and that he's distancing himself from politics comes just a few weeks after west had that much publicized meeting with donald trump in the

oval office in which he preys on the president but now he claims he's been used to spread messages he says he doesn't believe in. coming up on this channel hundreds of luxury cars up in flames and devastating floods to it has been a tough twenty four hours for some parts of italy as we report when we come back.

but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to be right to be close it's like the full screen of all the people. interested in the walker. thanks. again three people injured in a suicide bombing at russia's federal security service h.q. in northern sky is the incident happened on wednesday morning those injured staff

members they've been hospitalized receive treatment officials said the suspect who detonated the improvised explosive device was a seventeen year old who lived in the area. nato is holding its largest military exercise since the end of the cold war the drills kicked off last week and they struck from the baltic sea up to iceland military forces from thirty one countries are involved in the fortnight long maneuvers with over fifty thousand personnel two hundred fifty aircraft and sixty five ships taking part the alliance has even made its own video guide to norway where a large part of the exercise is a big help. you know we're both norway. while the. region after the. aggressor the.

sports cars have been destroyed by the northern italian port city of. seawater for. the trees to explode. in the u.k. the fracking companies calling for rules on gas exploration to be relaxed despite a string of. resulting from its drilling activities operations resumed earlier this month after a seven year battle over safety concerns but no those tremors of come back again probably boy look at the story what happens when a company's just been given the right to start shale gas extraction but tiny earthquakes keep getting in the way that's the situation in lancashire in the north of england where energy company quadrent after months of legal wrangling and

protests. started commercial exploratory fracking two weeks ago since then there are already been two so-called microseismic events microseismic enough to hold drilling. a boss of course driller has the onset the government should just relax the rules and allow the company doing the fracking to frack on even after larger tremors

because all the reports of seismic activity are scaring people it may well be that we have reached that time not only for the u.k. show gas industry but also to address the concerns of local people who are becoming increasingly worried by reporting of tiny movements in the earth which occur thousands of times across the u.k. every day as if they were harmful so here's how the traffic light monitoring system works right now think of it as the government's danger scale for shale gas extraction anything over nor point five on the richter scale is classed as a red light events. and means an immediate suspension to drilling so for drilling wants the red light event to be anything starting from two point zero on the richter scale environmentalist aren't so sure where it could reduce for a king at the moment it's a worrying situation and it seems to be going. very slowly and cautiously as they should. then

over ground zero it's a rain that's already been historically weakened significantly by a historic cold. concious consequences could be very devastating. and that effectively covers the entire bottom fill you hold of the for king licenses in this country that's where the real problem is the fracking fam has reasons to be hopeful though over the summer the u.k.'s energy minister said that the current monitoring system is cautious and could be adjusted up puts where the government came to prove that its policy of supporting shale gas extraction is bearing fruit a change in the safety threshold could mean christmas coming early for the fracking frustrated by delays you can follow the story so much more your column from a moscow committee twenty seven minutes past three moscow time is kevin owen saying

to robert de niro and in the news coverage aftermath of every tragedy or headline making grab for attention the one term that gets bandied about like a hand grenade at a horseshoe tournaments is radicalized the suspect was radicalized he was a radicalized muslim a radicalized christian a radicalized atheist. he was radicalized by online hate speech which was radicalized by donald trump who was radicalized by fox news which was a response to a radicalized left wing media which would self was a radicalized response to rush limbaugh and radicalized right wing talk radio which was radicalized by right wing christian radicals in response to the radical liberal movements of equal rights and free love of the radical sixty's and seventy's. there's a lot of radicalization out there hawk watchers that's the name of the blame game these days in the wake of the pennsylvania synagogue shooting and the maga bomber pundits and talking heads across the land an air waves have been pointing fingers

over fingers in an effort to justify massive paychecks and provide reasoning for what is all to middle of the unreasonable take g q columnist julie i offer you rather than look at the true causes of the radicalization of the synagogue shooter takes the easy television rating grabbing his way out and blames donald trump telling c.n.n.'s jake tapper that quote this president has radicalized so many more people than isis ever did because apparently in julie his view dangerous radicalized people and groups didn't exist until after november eighth two thousand and sixteen so today let's cut through the radicalization blame game and start watching the hawks. but if you get the.
