was. that good. that was. done or trying to take dan lashes out of the french president's half a minute my concord for europe to reduce its dependence on washington also this hour. cease but i do appreciate your survey from behind with the long journey with the mass is this surrender to terrorists or israeli defense minister resigns just a day off to armed groups in gaza and house to cease fire following a deadly escalation of the conflicts. counsel patients in iran struggle to get life saving medication as u.s.

sanctions take that. life from the russian capital we are watching r.t. international. our top story president emmanuel micron has doubled down on course for a combined military force in europe saying france cannot rely on america for defense in an interview he refused to respond to a series of mocking tweets from donald trump this is new to me the united states of america is a historic ally and it will continue to be significant to be an ally is not to be a vast and we should not be dependent and therefore with regards the americans. we must do more ourselves as french and as europe. let's take a look at some of those international headlines now the bromance is over this hour in the bromance of the saying that the friendship is. come to an end that's what's

being discussed in the international papers here in france if you take a look here this is le parisien it's basically saying that trump is making fun of my corn and that's something that's being discussed across the papers talking about those tweets which attacked french wine which attacked much popularity it's have a look at those tweets that trump made and say exactly what he said but it was germany and world wars one and two how did that work out for france they were starting to learn german in paris before the u.s. came along pay for nato not france makes it very hard for the u.s. to sell its wines into france and charges big tariffs not fair must change the problem is that emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating in france twenty six percent an unemployment rate of almost ten percent make france great again well for so long the two presidents had been having this beautiful romance that started here in paris just around

a year and a half ago hugs and kisses but it's all gone sour as a result of this interview that much gave. the that can defend itself without depending only on the united states in the way that exhibits greater sovereignty much as you can say well it's not the first time that much corn has spoken out against trump's policies and being in stark disagreement with them remember when trump pulled out of the paris climate accord this is what mcconnell had to say back then there's a lot of guys i consider to mistake for the u.s. and its people and a mistake for the future bad planet then of course who could forget the fact that trump pulled out of the year a new clear record something that really riled president macron. it was a proposal that after the americans rooftop of the agreements. it was being seen as

a catastrophe it. was for the most part it seems that trump has let all of those criticisms slide but not this one when it comes to the creation of an army or why is that will some experts are suggesting it comes down to one thing and one thing only money the idea that if a new era peon army was created that could mean less cash in the pockets of the usa and donald trump as a businessman the idea of losing money is a kin to a capital offense he may also be unhappy that much corn could incite others to join this revolt already we know that the german chancellor angela merkel has said she is fully behind this idea so this idea of castigating much moment twitter could be just serving another purpose of trying to keep the troops in order care political analyst manual tama believes mccrum has been outplayed by trump. trump

before to come to paris was. shocked and angry but the spark of these niggas she tucked cheek him a strong statements in order to make a spark nurse took a different position on each works on the following day mr mark just repeats what the average turns once from europe on the real europeans should spending more we didn't need to for our security he works for the united states once it's got french president who was not strong enough to keep his own position. transatlantic tensions that have a shadowing a major energy project the us ambassador to brussels has said washington could block a gas pipeline project linking russia to germany. we have not deployed the full set of tools yet that could significantly undermine if not outright stop the project

addressing near pan parliament's chancellor angela merkel said shutting down energy supplies from russia would be impossible whether the gas we consume comes through the north stream also ukraine or the turks stream the source is one of the same says russia and europe almost be able to make itself independent from russian gas but what it can do is diversify its. meanwhile the u.s. is trying to expand the sheriff they are paying and then she markets but financial journalist. told us american gas supplies uncompetitive. the american guest already a source with the l.a.p.d. liquid natural gas is far expensive and there is really no need in excuse to the liquid natural gas that we have got of the natural gas crunch sort of here by our pipelines to germany you know you wrote broad brush up all it could do is

they could post code that they could never stop that americans are quite quite charming with this place say well you know of course of course all those who oppose this but you sought to get out of line but if you do it it's your whole you don't have to i mean it's natural that we don't want to. there less energy secretary insists that cutting russian gas supplies would help here pay and security he raised the issue on a visit to hungary the russian federation. has historically use energy. as a coercive weapon we should no longer allow the kremlin to you enter as a weapon. the solution is a diversity of suppliers but there must be a path for that supply. even with the dependency on russia it is not

a problem because russia has never in history not fulfill its obligations its cooperate so where should it be where should the spirit come from it is about it is about business the u.s. . increasing or expanding their a natural gas industry and therefore they want to have lights they have not they don't know where to supply work to where to exploit the gas. israel's defense minister has resigned over the government's decision to accept a truce with militant groups in gaza the dail followed two days of deadly cross border ass trikes and rocket fire of a door labor men branded the ceasefire a surrender. to the cease fire deal reached yesterday combined with the long term agreed with the mass is a surrender to terrorists there's no other word no other meaning but surrender to terrorism. israelis living near gaza have spoken out against the ceasefire

a case in their governments of caving in to terrorists that's after hundreds of rockets were fired over the border by palestinian militants injuring fifty three israelis israel responded by bombing dozens of targets across gaza. i thought. i was the week the. israeli affairs analyst mordechai kadar told us the defense minister's resignation could end up being a good career move. lieberman did what he did because he heals the voices which come out of the israeli strike usually he withdraws also from the

coalition and this way is losing the majority which he has in the knesset and now we are entering a new election liberman in his speech of lizard nation he mentioned not only what happened yesterday of the ceasefire which he was against he mentioned at least four events connected to other things which he had a dispute with when the time you know this time was the strong weight shift box his own back if it means i can say and he decided that enough is enough is enough it might actually bleed him to a position which he would be better in the elections because people know what he did and people definitely agree with what he did and this actually might play into to his cards. in the coming elections. the u.n.

security council has held an emergency meeting on the conflict and there were some highly charged statements from the representatives of israel and palestine security council must only condemn hamas we condemn in the strongest possible terms this aggression by israel there is no such a thing both sides there is hamas but that's in the fire result of this blockade which is immoral and illegal and it is inhumane and we will continue to take any measure the measure necessary to protect our people that this round of violence was created as a result of a botched bizarrely military operation in the gaza strip it's very interesting for me to hear the israeli ambassador speak about the gaza collation all of the victims except one of this round of escalation where palestinian all of the victims were

inside gaza not outside of the gaza strip israel bombed a t.v. station it bombed residential buildings it leveled them to the ground those are acts that are acts of terror because they did terrorize two million palestinians the latest round of escalation started because of a botched israeli undercover operation three kilometers deep inside gaza that's how the escalation started with the israeli forces killing seven palestinians. the president of the rain in academy of medical sciences has sent an appeal to the un over us sanctions he said the lives of many patients are in danger as sanctions are preventing truck fems from working in the country we visit has one counts a treatment center in tehran. doesn't rush out and my husband is a cancer patient and we are worried about his medication and their costs

medications used to be available before but after the sanctions they have become more expensive and rarer and we are worried about the future and what will happen. on my live blog this is the second round of my chemotherapy off to sanctions before my chemotherapy used to cost two hundred eleven euro but now with each round i need to pay four hundred and twenty two year old drugs cannot be found easily like before we have to search them in different pharmacies with every single one of them not having a specific kind of drug. that i know when they impose sanctions on our banks the money cannot be transferred easily to a foreign country in order to buy medication. we're

not allowed to bring in many devices and some of them like components it's obvious that without these parts the devices simply won't work. we're going to do everything we can discourage iran hard as the british say to make to squeeze them until the pips squeak. i. want to the day here we have nine best and shuffle every day into this house play takes with a sanctions are just not able to respond to hop a million patients. i don't have. their west secretary of states my pump says the problems around is now facing are entirely the fault of the country's government. the leadership has to make a decision that they want their people to eat they have to make

a decision that they want to use their wealth to import medicine and not use their wealth to fund islamic extremism pompei later insisted that washington has not put any restrictions on food or medicine entering iran and take his newsweek magazine of spreading fake news when they put his quote in the headline. political scientist column comes out believes washington's ultimate goal is to bring down the iranian government the united states is going to see we iraq and its great bill is a louse of course the arabian people will be harmed with any type of economic blockade the whole by the members of the his version the trouble in this race is that this will cause the iranian people to rise up and overthrow. iran so even though john bolton is regime change is not with us is.

simply. because what he really wants to do is to bring the curve right government with economic pressure and economic sanctions. still to come on our take the u.k. has reached a key milestone in the price of process that story right after the break.

welcome back to altie the u.k. prime minister to resign may says she's received cabinets backing for a draft price a deal with the she gave

a statement house side ten downing street off to more than five hours of discussions. the choices before us were difficult particularly in relation to the northern ireland backstop but the collective decision of captain it was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outline initial declaration this is a decisive step which enables us to move on and finalize the deal in the days ahead . these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it is a decision that is firmly in the national interest well to reason mase been in meetings all day she spent having just addressed the media that previous to that she'd just come out of a meeting last of several hours with her own cabinet and during the course of that meeting they were thrashing out and agreed a collective position on that draft bragg's that deal but it's understood from reports coming out this evening that ministers the number of ministers within the

cabinet express their opposition to that draft deal they include jeremy hunt under lead some gov in williams liam fox estimates vary who particularly was said to be very outspoken and even wanted those members of the cabinet to be able to vote and express their position officially on this deal now they haven't made any resignations from the cabinet yet but. we can look back to when the checkers plan was signed off it took a whole forty eight hours for david davis to stand down as briggs a secretary in seventy two hours for boris johnson to stand down as foreign secretary so we may yet see a number of resignations as a result of that draft deal and it's not just the cabinet either within the backbenchers. own m.p.'s there are thought to be a number of them this evening writing letters of no confidence in the prime minister in the hope that they can spark a leadership challenge and remove her from her position as leader of the

conservative party and as prime minister in any case that. draft text has been received perhaps a little bit more positively in brussels the news michel barnier is saying that he considers that to be decisive progress to resume is going to address parliament and remains to be seen whether she can muster up enough support within her own party and out with of it in order to get this through parliament historian alan scads believes to resume has failed to get any concessions from the in the backseat negotiations. could see to do everything she said she would fight for with ended up despite her redlines we've ended up probably in the single more in the customs union she's given a separate state is ignored while inches betrayed the scottish fishermen as far as i can see it's almost incredible that he's even born incredible of politics so i expect there may still be resignations i hope for the honor of the

conservative party there are. and i hope that the g d p and everyone else victors this poll would. the parliament has approved tougher rules on arms exports to all thora tarion regimes after releasing a report that cites a large number of european made weapons and vented up in the hands of islamic state militants in syria and iraq i'm very glad that our report has been adopted it is a strong signal for stricter e.u. arms export control we need to putin and both the e.u.'s military madness as well advanced scrupulous and lucrative business of deaths by european weapons the documents penned by german and me paisa be analysing expresses shock over the volume of a weaponry going to diane its head far more to be done to stop export licenses that might be used to supply terrorists as ing that more effective methods must be found

to stop the transfers. the document also mentioned u.s. hands dales in the middle east and the need for better controls ten lest my cratty believe right to be consent about the spread of american weaponry i certainly think that the drawing attention to it and mentioning the us as a third party was quite a good idea and it's subtle it's very subtle but it certainly it draws attention to the fact that the us is the frankly the biggest arms dealer on the planet and donald trump being president is the biggest number one arms dealer going at the moment so we have to draw attention to that we have to george tensions the fact that without the us supplying arms to saudi arabia and other oppressive regimes in the middle east al-qaeda and isis and affiliates would be struggling to actually wage their walls of aggression in syria and iraq so yes i think that. at least

and european parliament members of the european parliament didn't want to draw people's attention to that but couldn't do it overtly as it were so yeah they they've they've been very cruel and shrewd about it and they've actually but brought it to people's attention without specifically attacking the u.s. for its policy. they were hoping to swap the boulevards of paris for the straits of shanghai bus passengers on a flight to china got more than they bargained for when they hopped on the plane. but.

please. please. please. the first time you say ok there is a problem but look we spun the horns on nine hundred of late no sleep and got to go back. to.

live. from all real time updates here on twitter and facebook next on is watching the hawks. since i'm still sleep will. i feel for some period. roles going to say they support the business with the most is still a couple. this isn't with.

a smile because i am. going to see that i've got to go at that deal but you also look at the model you punish diplo it's almost the same token from all the shows just the fluid souls of . you when you must. give. us the benefit of tremendously economically through the cost of it we'll do the world by coming out about effectively giving up the power to impose structural adjustment on global soft countries or that it is and that is so from fundamentally doesn't understand how these a these are useful tools of u.s.

imperialism of the facts right so it's not clear what is right is i mean it's true that these institutions are deeply unfair thirds of the u.s. their own affairs here to the majority world to the global south and that's really the reason we need to reform the. greetings and salutations. seventeen years later the bombs are still dropping in afghanistan hawk watchers and in record numbers yes according to data from the u.s. air force is central command manned and unmanned aircraft between january and

september of this year of drop some five thousand two hundred thirteen various types of bombs on the country this sets a new record for most bombs ever dropped on afghanistan in one year's time and the year isn't even over yet you originally record was set back in two thousand and ten the five thousand one hundred one naturally this record breaking year has of course led to a massive amount of civilian casualties according to the united nations from first to january to september thirty of twenty eighteen you now documented eight thousand and fifty civilian casualties two thousand and seven hundred deaths and five thousand and two hundred injured reflecting the same extreme levels of harm to civilians as was during the same period in two thousand and seventeen civilian deaths increased by five percent while the number of civilians injured decreased by three percent. so i guess if you're looking at the bright side of things one could

be excited that we're injuring less people this year in afghanistan and all that chaos and blood and pain is being rained down on the poor people living there the man who started the war over in afghanistan george w. bush was celebrated this past bedrooms day with a brand new philadelphia eagles jersey and a shiny new metal the. yes and one has to be a front runner for greatest moment of hypocrisy in the twenty first century wu himself was presented with the national constitution center liberty medal for his tremendous work with us about turns by former vice president joe biden marking the first time the constitution liberty and george w. bush ever actually occupy the same time and space seriously my friends we just awarded a medal of liberty to a man with more soldiers and civilians blood on his hands than arguably any other world leader in the past twenty to thirty years save maybe as property or dick cheney yes we are now living in that world which is why we must always be watching

the hawks. to. get the. real thing this would. lead to the bottom. like you that i got. with. the. welcome everybody to watch. and i'm. moving others another year another bomb drop and george bush gets a metal tab is pretty incredible isn't it yeah well i mean is there really that surprising and i mean. it's a constitutional liberty.
