at least a dozen times and had its emblem displayed on the roof riyadh has since called the bombing an unintended error. and us of his now demanding a new investigation and that the allegations against it be dropped rights activist cerf landers told us that there is no justification for bombing hospitals under international humanitarian law medical facilities are protected may not be targeted under any circumstances and it is responsibility of those carrying out the attack and not to the facility itself so even that argument is a harrowing tale and argue it's

a complete fraud of course the bombing was carried out by saudi arabia and the quadrants had been given again and again as mentioned sinn fein terror explains. and this is a time. such a medical facility in medicine in brown terror saudi being bombed and three years' time so on every front it is an outrageous outrageous crime against international humanitarian law. and against the people of myanmar against the people the whole world. of voiding and other arms race russia is proposing the us destroy military hardware in an attempt to revive the i.m.f. weapons treaty of moscow and washington earlier suspended their obligations under the cold war deal accusing each other a failing to comply or to submitting a question of it has more. from the russian defense ministry said that the us had

7:19 pm
decision to pull out of the treaty may lead to some grave consequences and i had a chance to ask of the official whether he thinks this current situation may lead to a new arms race and this is what he sat. was. the possibility of a new arms race is a serious topic u.s. documents show that as well as spending huge amounts of money on defense the u.s. aims to dominate all spheres related to the military we will not let the u.s. drug us into an arms race the american seem to succeed in doing that but they haven't so far i think they'll fail this time too. he also said that russia is ready to fight to keep the agreement intact now the treaty was signed back in ninety eight seven between than the world's nuclear powers the us and the savita union and now meenie fear that the end of this treaty will lead to dramatic consequences. the u.s.

7:21 pm
nuclear missiles highly mobile incredibly quick both to launch and they speed much cheaper than huge strategic nukes everyone was always on the edge with short range nuclear missiles around they could strike in an instant barely any warning for more than thirty years they were gone but now those missiles are coming back unless we get a new deal i hope that we're able to get everybody in a very big and beautiful room and do a new treaty that would be much better not everyone wants a new deal some see this treaty collapses an opportunity more funding more r. and d. more bad short range missiles. now the department of defense will be able to conduct these research and development activities banned under the i.n.f. treaty so the department fans will start those taps on building three systems they

7:23 pm
all to say everyone's gone nuts there are still people that sense people that realize a nuclear arms race isn't going to lead to anything good people who realize that arms treaties where the world removes a lot adds nukes is good for humanity i think it's stupid for democrats to be attacking putin on all issues and not holding open the channel of nuclear dialogue yes to deal with the issues in syria in the killing diplomats in ukraine in crimea but that doesn't warrant a nuclear blunder it kills billions of people or millions so yes with the democrat or republican or somewhere in between we need to have dialogue and. something that might help is a bit of humility i don't even know what's crazy and nowadays people cheering
