affronts terrorist group attacks syrian army positions in providence using tanks and vehicles filled with explosives. 6 people have been confirmed dead hundreds more injured in post-election protests that erupted in the indonesian capital of jakarta. also the un hands the united kingdom a defeat in a dispute over the juggalos silence in the indian ocean calling on london to see control of the territory within 6 months.

this is joining us this evening this is our international. just as peace and calm and seemingly return to syria they are nuts for from terrorists creepers struck syrian army positions in the province according to russia's defense ministry the terrorists used tanks and vehicles filled with explosives in the assault on the senior correspondent ryan get the of just be in the studio now and this is really just sounds violent bring it up today with the details well it was incredibly violent this late in the civil war by any measure this was an absolutely huge offensive. which is via a widely viewed as. swing in syria formerly known as. nusra front they fielded a lot of manpower a lot of equipment for this particular offensive we're talking about for example 500 jarvis to. one specific offensive 7 tanks 30 pickup trucks

a quip with various gardens a.p.c.'s as well as to jihad move beals as they've come to call vehicles packed with explosives driven by suicide bombers all of this in an effort to take comfort in the. town held by the syrian military apparently the syrians held off against 3. 3 such attacks killing more than 150 terrorists jihad this but eventually according to some sources cafferty. file.

so they say the syrians held off against 3 such attacks allegedly well now $150.00 jihad this fight is killed 4 tanks destroyed the terrorists also launched a number of a number of missiles at the russian airbase in may mean in syria not all of them reach the vicinity of the airbase but those that pose the threat were apparently destroyed by air defenses interestingly enough the united states comments injuring the u.n. security council meeting called these attacks in significant in the grand scheme of things but the u.n. security council none too pleased about this offensive. neither the syrian army nor the russian air force have been waging military operations against civilians or civilian infrastructure russia and the regime's decision to launch air strikes sends a terrible signal of disregard toward the u.n. political process russia has claimed its so-called return it strikes surgical i

quote surgical precision i hope i do not need medical treatment in moscow if surgical accuracy means what we've seen when we refuse to consider terrorists as untouchable and we'll continue to fight them despite the objections of some of our partners united states reader it's that any escalation in violence in northwest syria would destabilize the region we must do it we have our own view on who is destabilizing the region. both sides are blaming each other for this latest escalation the rebels the hardest and the syrian government fighting has been building up for a number of days now to this. violent. as often happens the islamists are now crying foul saying that asaad forces the syrian military has gassed them used chemical weapons remarkably. there's been

no mention of al qaida in the united states press statement in what they've said about this and their. statements regarding what is happening now. it's very interesting because h.t.s. as it is rebranded denies any affiliation with al qaida their behavior is still the same they were branded but they're still executing infidels they're still you know sending suicide bombers to bomb civilian targets and in syria so nothing's changed in their behavior so imagine our surprise when we did some digging on. these chemical allegations and we found that the initial source was h.g.'s nuestra fried. in syria nevertheless the united states hasn't got so far as to blame the syrian government and so far they've said that they can't verify any of

these allegations. acts which have been indiscriminate in very vicious have sent some 152200000 people in it most of whom are already internally displaced people to move again to temporary housing and create a huge burden on our very broad humanitarian effort that we in the interest of the international community are making sure we're watching this very closely also the reports of chemical weapons use so far we cannot confirm it but we are watching it it's an incredibly interesting situation they're spending billions of dollars the united states europe their allies billions of dollars fighting al qaida i says they're affiliates all over the world in iraq in iraq and afghanistan one of the middle east in africa yet when it comes to syria al qaeda the biggest stronghold in the world the safest haven anywhere in the world they're taking them seriously and

they're taking their allegations regarding chemical attacks seriously and demanding that the syrian government hold its offensives against al qaeda as i say a remarkable situation. in violence in syria anything to bring as of today as the of our correspondent. 6 people have been killed 200 injured during a protest in the capital of indonesia after the results of the presidential election was announced. i. think. it was. a was. a was 63

. protesters clashing with the police and they've been growing and growing like a child and mother tiles and the police have been trying to disperse the crowd and firing tear gas and this is the 2nd day that. these protests and thing going on and they are protesting at the feet near the election supervisor agency building 35 still trying to control the situation. and the president of south dakota has issued that men and that. they will not tolerate anyone who interferes with the security and democracy processes of the country. and they are also arrested about $100.00 people where it is said.

these protests. protests started on cheese they surely have a sense of election committee confirmed the victory of current president joe cole would order however several 1000 supporters of his opponent retired military general. and took to the streets position leaders claiming there was widespread cheating in that he's going to challenge the results counter-terrorism special. radical islamists that penetrating political groups in indonesia to propagate their ideas. the situation now in indonesia is getting a little bit here is due to the fact that political islam has been evolving fairs in the southeast asian countries especially in indonesia so we see extreme a's and radicals gaining popularity in political parties all position parties such as what's transpiring known in the media radical islamists as well there's extreme 5th

groups of penetrating political parties who now enter into political limelight where they can actually probably and propagate ideology good belief or would be a political needs in these countries. u.n. general assembly has voted overwhelmingly 116 to just 6 in favor of a resolution calling on the u.k. to give the child goes arlen's in the indian ocean back to bearishness within 6 months even we didn't expect support for the u.k. to go into single figures more importantly this is happening despite the huge huge pressure on national capital and the un. the expulsion of locals from the islands has been described as one of the worst examples of britain's days as a colonial power a community of displaced islanders in london's been campaigning for decades for the right to be resettled the is

a shallow from the geragos islanders movement told us even with a favorable view of vote political powers shouldn't forget talk to displace locals . we have done so much we have suffered so much and they were are still suffering our identity our values are both our belongings our belongings our culture all this robbed from us it is about time to rewrite all the wrongs doing consider us as human beings just do the right things. and start dialoguing we've see. so that we can move forward we will stand up for ourself and keep on fighting for our voice to be heard and. to be resprayed to be treated with dignity so that we can go back home. you know the center of

a decades long dispute between britain and morris's which in the 19th sixty's ceded the territories in exchange for independence for 3000000 pounds move allowed the united states in 971 to build a military base on diego garcia the largest of the atolls. britain evicted about one and a half $1000.00 the make room for the u.s. base diego garcia was an important launch pad for u.s. missions in iraq and afghanistan u.s. lease there runs into 2036 washington was among the only 6 countries who went against the u.n. resolution. earlier this year the international court of justice ruled that britain illegally split the islands and that they should return them to versus britain rejected the ruling and richest stuck the issue to the general assembly 2017 only 15 delegates opposed the colonization bid some in the u.k. also aren't happy about britain's claim to the islands. this is not a matter of degree or the general assembly it's

a bilateral sovereignty dispute between the united kingdom. it is a complete case of double standards and in fact many african nations will have voted. in favor of the england giving it up right now the big occupier of this island is not the u.k. there are some you case that staffers from the military because it's all military but it's the united states that controls a lot of them drones have. afghanistan over the past few years came from this base it's also the the there's also a prison there a kind of more isolated version of one time and i think at best what we can expect might be some kind of financial compensation for the living in marriages it's sad to say but to keep quiet unless we see political change elsewhere and unless the

united states decides that it wants to change its foreign policy for good. the u.s. state department says that it has intelligence suggesting the syrian government's planning chemical attacks and is vowing a quick response donald trump claims he's being pressured by the u.s. arms industry to keep thousands of u.s. soldiers in syria elim open reports. so who sets u.s. foreign policy well when it comes to the projection of a military force the constitution and common sense says that's the president here's our george w. bush put it but i'm the decider and i decide what is best but recent statements from donald trump throw that into question here is what he said if you do have a military industrial complex they do like war. in syria with the caliphate so wipe out 100 percent of the caliphate i shall want to bring our troops there. home to place one crazy they want to keep them you have people here in wa she want

it they never want to leave some day people will explain what this is and if you want to have you do have a group and they call it the military just a couple so according to trump he wanted to bring troops back from syria but he was compelled to leave several 100 of them there why well according to him the usa has quite a powerful military industrial complex and if our president is fighting against it it seems that he's hiding this fight rather well recently donald trump appointed patrick shanahan as his new secretary of defense shanahan spent 30 years at boeing which is one of the largest defense contractors in the united states and one of the world's biggest arms manufacturers and like many other companies contracted by the pentagon boeing is having a great year. folks in this industry have actually pointed to what they call the trump effect have you seen that in terms of our allies and our spending not only have i seen we think it's the best time we've ever seen in

a long time for the defense industry but it's not just the truck presidency that has been a boon to the military industrial complex many different political leaders in the united states have campaigned on a platform of peace and then expanded wars once they've taken office. nations making progress toward freedom will find america is their friend. we're promoter of values we promote peace. we've lost thousands of american lives spent nearly a trillion dollars alienated allies neglected the merger was all in the cause of fighting a war for well over 5 years in a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 911.

i will never send our finest into battle unless necessary and i mean absolutely necessary and will only do so if we have a plan for victory with a capital d. . it's as if we've learned nothing from history the 34th us president dwight d. eisenhower warned the public about unwarranted influences when he left office over 60 years ago in the councils of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or unsought by the military industrial complex . the but potentially by the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the weight of this combination in danger are limiting

our democratic process. we should take nothing for granted. in the american people don't want war presidents always run as the peace candidate and then you know we never did leave the starwars even richard nixon during the vietnam war was only elected because he was seeing he had a secret plan for ending the vietnam war as it turned out the secret plan was to escalate the war and more troops and enlarged it works all of you know these large monopolistic companies wanting to get a huge bunch of money the light threats of war they like active war. you know the other war mongers and they have an enormous amount of influence and it commensurate with the amount of money that they put into campaigns. you know democrats are expressing concern over the trumpet ministrations. troop buildup in the middle east details after the break.

what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. somehow want to.

get it right to be close it's like the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the logs of our. first 6. mike is in the u.s. congress of being briefed by trump of ministration officials on threats coming from a round verge of being diverted thanks to washington's latest show of force in the middle east but some democrats didn't buy what they heard. it deterred attacks based on our repository of assets deterred attacks against american forces it's been our worry from the beginning that this is a blind escalation with the hope that the iranians will come to the table in the

end or the hope that the iranian people will rise up and topple the regime. very much but intentionally or unintentionally we can create a situation in which a war will take place among its recent steps against iran the u.s. deployed in action after carrier of the planes in the persian gulf prior to that the jump of ministration imposed sanctions on iran in oil promising to expand them to countries which buy it. iranian president responded by saying u.s. pressure cannot break the iranian people in claims tehran's actually growing more resilient thanks to the sanctions. returns he spoke to former iranian negotiator the same most severe in about the current situation between the countries of the full interview on our website r.t. don't call for show you what are you see during president trump i have never seen such conflicting confusing a strategy. from the u.s.

side in regard to iran between all signatories of iran nuclear deal the us has completely violated we draw from the deal while it did the united nations security council the europeans including the u.k. they have failed to deliver a clear commitments for normal trade and business with iran for 2 years i don't believe such a strategy president conflicting a strategy bullying a strategy. strategy a president is following at the current currently i don't believe. would ever be ready to negotiate with such administration except if president changes it is a strategy compromise with the nuclear deal as approved by the united nations security council and then respect iran. respect the principles of mutual

respect non interference then i believe there will be a chance. in the un to say sturgeon's of major footwork companies of poland an open letter to donald trump urging him to halt plan tariffs on china that's a bit the ongoing trade war with beijing companies say that consumers will suffer from the tariffs. adding a 25 percent tax increase on top of these tariffs would mean some working american families could pay nearly 100 percent duty on the shoes this is unfathomable your proposal to add tariffs on all imports from china is asking the american consumers to foot the bill it is time to bring this trade war to an end. earlier donald trump height g.-d's from 10 percent to 25 percent on $200000000000.00 with a chinese goods spot the maids the president believes that he will reach a new trade deal with beijing china retaliation plans to raise import tariffs to 25

percent from next month until a deal is reached the trade spat between the world's 2 largest economies has been somewhat of a spirit raising challenge though since china with this song going viral. meanwhile british mobile operators vodafone have dropped wall ways devices from the launch of their 5 g. networks and companies are trying to distance themselves from the chinese tech giant after washington bonds well wait telecoms equipment in the u.s. thinking crowdfunding professor of economics believes the only way to counter washington is to create an alternative to the u.s. dollar. america is the oil is the only issue of american dollars the american federal reserve and the private banks and create money if the federal reserve saw

us to borrow a trillion dollars worth of bonds it can do that and in fact it's been doing it every year for the last 10 years of what they call quantitative easing so china could say his is a $1000000000.00 bonds ha ha and american say here's a $1000000000.00 in your bank account what else have you got and it would be irrelevant because if the american dollar tried you have a huge demand for the dollar then you would have it was just borrowing it's american goods it's something in between 3100 percent hot across the net should be so of course it's always going to run a try deficit so the only real way out is to is to design an alternative monetary system that doesn't use the american dollar for international trade and i know china russia and europe are talking about that turkey as well with a different system i sincerely hope one of those develops and takes away the capacity that america has to weaponize international tried. thanks for staying with us a saving here on our to international day stick around my colleague nic aaron will have all the latest for you in just over half an eye on.
