around the world this wednesday top news feed this hour that after more than three years of devastating war the united states has called on saudi arabia to stop its strikes on populated areas of yemen. the time is now for the suspension of hostilities including missile and u.a.b. strikes from who controlled areas subsequently coalition air strikes must cease in all populated areas of yemen washington though nonetheless still hanging on to its multibillion dollar weapons contracts with the saudis and britain's arms sales to riyadh have doubled over the last two years to now the government in the u.k. facing a grilling this afternoon from parliament over its dealings with the kingdom is a can with the latest from westminster to western britain are under great scrutiny for their support of the saudi led coalition in yemen specifically in light of the recent ashaji 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 and here in the u.k. also patience seems to be dwindling when it comes to this topic with the 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 continued to insist does not affect the situation on the ground do you have a problem with condemning murder and international violations of into international law incomplete mistakes and made 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 the amount of raids targeting civilians is going to you know if these are all there are is there seem to be able what if i do not agree that if united kingdom was simply to. deny. support for a party which is under threat and so engaged in support of allegiance and its government and if we do the. move the way to deal with it is your 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 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

the number of deaths of people who died in yemen is actually five times higher than thought by the united nations. journalist a middle east commentator at all darwish told he thinks it's unlikely the u.k. is going to hold to its arms sales to riyadh any time soon when asked before. is still arms sales from britain still

but within the rules i don't see him a little bit good to. put six thousand. my constituency out of work so you have to actually get that balance here and the product office probably in your line which feeds the downing street always is better to be engaged with the countries who can exert pressure behind the closed doors and with our very closed doors or of the megaphone diplomacy which is practiced by the americans that's not actually the british way of doing things. well no story talking to americans who just a week to go until the midterm elections in the states it seems everyone who's only one has got an opinion on it even the popular t.v. comedy series the big bang theory has an anti trump message secreted away in its credits next as caleb maupin reports though much of the rhetoric is feeding public

discord and social division and that's the problem. 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 trumped 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 that they will be done but if there was inclined to more freedom more love more compassion i submissively os 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 will tend 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 from listening to their music if only they could for a row has not and will not grant you permission to publicly perform the worries broadcaster 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 in news but also comedy shows celebrity gossip is taking sides in throwing 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 nudes you see we talk about living in the bubble we 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. well talk about people changing their minds to next it looks like the republican party has lost perhaps its most high profile celebrity supporter of late in a twitter rant now the rapper kanye west says he thinks he's been used to being linked to a campaign to convince african-americans to ditch support for the rival democratic party conservative candice oh and susan initially behind the campaign earlier

praised in public collaboration with west check this blast to say that this logo. these colors were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero kanye west. allis. didn't go down well though in one tweet west said his eyes were now wide open and that he's distancing himself from politics it comes at a few weeks after west had that much publicized of a big meet and greet 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. elsewhere terrorists have gained territory in syria we can report close to the border with iraq killing over forty u.s. backed fighters during offensive that seems washington had previously claimed of course that also was almost completely decimated igor's down off reports. from all

the boasting you may have gotten the idea that was alarming state and series 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 choice in casualties down both sides but we will continue to go after them in the weeks ahead i thought 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 the next phase of what he calls an anti terror operation in syria but don't use them as you know that 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 he has own it's their area of responsibility where i still strikes well with its bloodiest attack in months and i wonder could it be because american troops are in fact miles away from all the action we don't have a contour a new 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 and including the syrian government have had other enemies to fight in other concerns isis is always calm 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 eisel means risking another wave of terrorist resurgence. it has done a corresponding amount one now meantime elsewhere in the troubled countries syria tensions are upset as druze arabs protested a local election them over the golan heights that's a disputed territory between syria and israel dozens of locals denounced the vote is illegal and pro israeli. i.d.f. soldiers used tear gas to break up was demonstrations when crowds tried to block the entrances to said polling stations in several villages many people living in the israeli occupied area have refused to take up his release of the ship and indeed they consider themselves syrian they say this is the first local election

since israel took control of the golan heights way back in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israeli government approved the poll last year after an appeal from pro israel religious earlier spoke to political analyst on a shabby he says israel's actions in the golan heights right now they are clearly against international law. 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 resolution two forty two that calls upon israel to withdraw immediately from the golan heights from the west bank 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 presentation 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. the golan heights perceived these persons who are who are so-called running for the so-called

the elections they are corrupt 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 it's impressive that these people in the occupied golan heights. holding on to their national city and identity at a time when so many arab countries are you know are making deals with the israelis it's really interesting that the syrians in the golan heights are not really buying all this they really believe that their rights rights of syrian citizens in syrian land they have the right to be to be in their own country to liberate their country from foreign occupation the syrians are taken to the streets they are not just boycotting their rejecting the entirety of the population that is falsely called a 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 mall between the locals there without any interference from the occupying force this is art international live from moscow proud to be very proud that he watches too coming up nato is holding its biggest war game in decades tell you all about that and fracking is shaking up the north of england yet again causing a lot of controversy just a couple of the stories ninety seconds. seemed wrong. to say proud. and engaged. the trail. find themselves worlds apart. she still looks for common ground.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be. right to be close it's like them before the three of them or can't be good. interested in the waters of. course. for the newsgroup if he continues we can tell you three people injured earlier suicide bombing at russia's federal security service h.q.

in the northern city of congo that incident happened wednesday morning the interest off members they were taken to hospital the conditions for this point not known the suspect who detonated the improvised explosive device was killed at the blast but there and then officials say he was a seventeen year old who lived in the area. nato says it's set to hold an open door day with the alliance of voting international observers to monitor its largest military drills since the end of the cold war the bloc secretary general accused moscow though of never being transparent with its exercises over the last twenty five years however worth bearing in mind just last month in fact observers from fifty seven countries attended russia's latest drills and indeed nato was even invited to meet to always invites service to our. exercises russia has not and why did it in national service to end the exercises the end of the cold war nato and russia exchanged reciprocal briefings on

military exercises in may allied military attachés in moscow have been invited to a voluntary observation of the exercise. so please exercises from nato that are already underway there taking place from the baltic sea in eastern europe all the way up to iceland in the west of the continent military forces from thirty one countries are involved in a fortnight long maneuvers over fifty thousand personnel two hundred fifty aircraft sixty five ships all involved in taking part the alliance has even put together a tourist guide video for norway where a large part of the exercise is a big help this is some things you need to know about norway. but we need a lovely morning in the weeds a symbol of our unique history here and we have lots of rain here you can see it is a region where some st guillen's are boarded ski on the beach and it's everything well maybe it's a thirty business to wall those drills focus on restoring the country's sovereignty

after attack by a fictitious aggressor seems the icelandic capital is said to replenish one of its core supplies. overwhelming force. fracking company in britain is calling for rules gas exploration to be relaxed

despite a string of tremors resulting from his latest drilling activity operation this month after a seventy a ban over safety concerns but now. back again takes of 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 quote driller after months of legal wrangling and protests. started commercial exploratory fracking two weeks ago since then there have already been two so-called microseismic events microseismic enough to hold drilling.

a boss of course driller has 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 event and means an immediate suspension to drilling so drill now once the red light event to be anything starting from two point zero two on the richter scale. environmentalists aren't so sure where for a king at the moment it's a worrying situation and it seems to be going very slowly and cautiously as they should. if you if you then over ground or terrain that's already been historically weakened significantly by a historic coal extract conses consequences could be very devastating. and that effectively covers the entire. half of the for a king my sense is in this country knows 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 delay now if you're a petrol head front of beautiful italian cars you're going to be crying next well next door under the luxury sports cars have been destroyed by fire in the northern italian port city of savannah. same story is those cars were way to the export when sea water flooded a storage area causing those it's a short circuit then to explode then that fireball if he's been hit by those huge

deadly storms in the last few days cause so much trouble of flooding and damage and that is another ramification of it. thanks for watching our channel as i say we always appreciate it. and the rest of the team ones you today next update for me thirty four minutes time and always so much more for you. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred

to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember in one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. i. find this as. warning it sets one flight south. rational a south. desire shelagh need the fear.

that the new dell cars on the. zuma. show selected it's a. small fortune in that again do your good. fortune for the op might be a lot about. more than enough to show us financial. i have the honor to once again the interview alister croaky is a former e.u. diplomat and founder and director of conflicts forum and of course we're going to discuss it in weeks.

i have the honor to once again the interview croaky is a former e.u. diplomat and founder and director of conflicts forums and of course we're going to discuss the middle east. it's great to have you back in moscow and i think continue the conversation we had about seven months ago because everything we talked about a month ago and still going on now i want to i want to mention istanbul for politicians and one country in that country obviously in syria we had this meeting with oracle want putin krohn in istanbul the u.s. wasn't there what do you take away from the i think it's very symbolic first of all i mean it says very clearly that the whole political process has moved away from geneva from new united states to sochi.

to rush or the leave. the very important.
