of the e.u. elections the anti-establishment parties make major gains as europeans crave a shake up of their politics. welcome to the weekly here on our to international where we bring you the latest headline news on the top stories from the past week. the israeli army targeted syrian territories saturday night killing 3 soldiers and wounding 7 it says it was responding to 2 missiles fired from syria also there has more. of the israeli defense forces the i.d.f. has confirmed that it hit a number of targets in syria overnight saturday and it seems that this was in what teddy ation to 2 missiles that were fired from syria at the israeli part of the golan heights there were no reports of injuries or damage on the israeli side but we are humane from the israeli cabinet that it was the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who posts to meet all. these retaliate tree strikes now it comes

as the israeli army issues a statement in which it says its planes and helicopters hit 2 artillery batteries and a defense battery and also a number of observation points along the israel syria border syrian state media is reporting it that 3 syrian soldiers were killed and an additional 7 injured this happening in the eastern part of the connector country side all of this is happening as tensions between israel and syria escalate particularly in the area of the golan heights now earlier in the week jared krishna who is the son in law and also the senior advisor to the american president donald trump was in jerusalem where he gifted netanyahu with a map that had been personally signed by the american president and they clearly showed the golan heights as part of israeli territory netanyahu held a press conference in which he acknowledged and thanked the american president.

brought me something from the u.s. presidents in the state department there was an official map of the states which had not been updated since the sixty's well now it's been up to it's. brought me the new mount which includes the golan heights as part of his road it's signed by president trump who writes. so i would like to say that's very nice. and all this follows trumps a full recognition of israeli sovereignty over the golan heights back in march that happened during a meeting between the 2 leaders when netanyahu was at the white house in washington and this has been did not inspire the international community who consider the area occupied territory and that is the status they have accorded it ever since israel took over the golan heights back in the 1967 war at the same time we are hearing from the syrian side they say that the aerial defense systems were activated to strike at so-called enemy targets in the east. damascus countryside so certainly

the situation between the 2 sides remains tense and both sides on a state of high alert we discussed the overnight hostilities with middle east expert ali risk and political analyst michel barack i think that what happened also before up and there is that there was which will last from the syrian story that is where we are quickly want to respond. i believe the syrian army is trying to give a clear message about that recognizing that there is overthrow of the old i guess this irritated ship is trying to give a clear message that they're all on it's syrian territory and if we don't recognize any decisions were trump or anyone else there's no real threat that syria will pose when it comes to borders at this point because israel has an x. that that territory many of those people are citizens in israel and every israeli almost every israeli believes that the golan heights are part of israel belong to

israel and protect israel the prime minister of israel has you know a lot of backing from both sides of the aisle from both left and right on how he handles israel's security and how he defends the state of israel and people of his . on friday you want to expert on torture and inhumane treatment so the way julian assange has been treated amounts to psychological torture i mean that he doesn't think the wiki leaks co-founder will get a fair trial if he's extradited to the united states. this is. crucial to go there is to medical experts. and and document symptoms of physical and psychological torture in the treatment. all the symptoms that are typical for a person that has been exposed to psychological torture over a long period of time speaking of severe stress some chronic and severe psychological trauma would never see use several democratic states.

in order to persecute them this isolate single out particular individual without granting him the protection that actually is accorded to him buffalo britain's foreign secretary slammed the experts assessment as wrong and inflammatory in a tweet jeremy hunt went on to claim that a songe had hold himself up at the ecuadorian embassy of his own accord and had been free to leave those miles or hit back saying that assad was quote as free to leave someone sitting on a rubber boat and a shark pool on top of that the expert accused u.k. courts of not showing due impartiality and objectivity. on torture also accused australia of abdicating responsibility for the protection of us and canberra responded by saying it had provided him with adequate consular support on thursday a day before the torture assessment songs failed to appear in court to the poor health playboy that was outside the magic of maggots court where the hearing was

supposed to have taken place. extradition hearing isn't taking place any longer to do this on july 19th meant to be here in person but he's not even well enough to appear via video link 10 minutes on she's been moved to the post also weighing all belmarsh prison the 2 of them to a maximum security prison where serving as a steamy eccentrics but. when he went into the ecuadorian embassy back in 2012 and went to the grave concern about the face of his health what we know is that there was a push from the medical board to. the fact that they did this and they put him on the world speaks speaks plenty and that's how you know being in a higher security nights at maximum security prison is difficult for anyone but you didn't spend 7 years confined in the ecuadorian embassy before he would medical treatment put out most of the medical treatment this was meant to be the 2nd hearing about this on just the extradition the official start of it has been moved

to around about the 12th of june we think that we've already had a fuss tearing earlier this month you need a strong leader refused consents to being extradited to the us. u.s. special counsel robert mueller handed in his resignation on wednesday 2 years after he opened his investigation into alleged closure between present donald trump and russia before announcing the decision he sought to get clarification on the report's key conclusions if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime we chose those words carefully and the work speaks for itself and the report is my testimony. some have likened the report to a rorschach test in psychology or patients give interpretations of what an interesting represents and they similar way both camps in washington are

interpreting miller's final speech very differently. mahler was essentially referring impeachment to the united states congress the special counsel has demonstrated that president is lying i think it was very clear if you could clear the president he would have but he couldn't it was to be the same as the record. no obstruction to what we're saying there's no obstruction just don't go there is no nothing and we consider this case closed he completed his investigation now he's closed his office and it's time for everybody to move on legal and media analyst lionel gave us his views on the miller probe. the interesting thing to note is one of the reasons why many suspect he doesn't want to speak to congress is one that republicans asked him when did you know this how many years ago how many months into this investigation did you come to the conclusion a either there was no

evidence or there was no reason to charge him but how long have you been stringing the country and the president and the world along well here's another question for you if you can't end dive him if those were the rules why did you investigate him in the 1st place did you know these rules before or did you know the rules before that say you can indict him or charge him then what were you investigating ah you were investigating collusion and by the way did you notice such a paltry and diminished amount of time that was that was given to the reason for this what was this rush in collusion explain this more. the european parliamentary elections saw green and liberal parties make significant gains on anti-establishment movements came out on top in countries like italy france and belgium and charlotte even ski reports there was no shortage of

political drama in the run up for months pundits have been predicting a rise in anti establishment policies ahead of the e.u. elections after once they were wronged but across the globe in the weeks leading up to the vote our nick was setting a. take martin penn days before france headed to the polls the e.u. top court ordered her to pay back 300000 euros to the european parliament this followed a case in which the national rally had been accused of paying in days incorrectly but the timing felt off it was almost as if it was a way to tell voters that her party just couldn't be trusted that came hot on the heels of accusations that former trump strategist steve bannon was actually the one pulling all the pens strings yet the public didn't seem to care and the national

rally still talked the polls hit in front of the scandals that were rife in the media included one by the russians well at least the alleged russians. it was of course if. the party which was in coalition besting people's party found itself under the spotlight not for its potentially dubious policies but for a good old cash influence gambit. revici's . he says. there was even an attempt to drag le pen's name into the thick gate as it became known a few months ago marine le pen was singing the praises of austrian vice chancellor heinz christian straka saying how formidable he was strong because being forced to

resign we find out why he was trying to sell his services to foreign forces behind this nationalist movement is a submission to foreign forces despite this the f p o still managed to pick up just over 17 percent of the vote in austria. there was also of course the elections very own 2 moment one swedish democrats candidate accused the other of sexual harassment and even though the scandal washed away it didn't hamper the anti immigration party's performance they increased their share of the vote to more than 15 percent. and despite merkel back on it our warning that populist parties wanted to destroy europe we are haring to deal with populist movements that in many areas are contemptuous of our avail use and want to destroy the europe of the values we

represent we have to stand up to this these parties significantly increase their representation in many parts of the e.u. sex money the long arm of washington reaching for controlling europe nothing seemed to put voters off seeking something new what is clear from the results of these elections is that the old guard could no longer count on the masses to support them in blind faith what europeans want is something different it seems but godless what that is what i think why you're skeptics because of the migrants people are skeptical because they do not know where it's going to get them they are afraid of migrants or 3rd. the reason is the decline in the number of elites compared to the rest of the people as well as the quality of the democratic representation. cause deliberate us you know i think it is because of immigration all europeans who are afraid of tea many migrants coming i think this is the primary cause of this boat.

i think people feel as if the existing political parties are giving them what they want and therefore they're hunting around for something else i think for some extent it's probably a protest just trying to engineer a tory vote to go more with. it wasn't unexpected as an outcome i would say kind of a level of division i would have expected across the country a bit the green party so probably remain probably vironment why because they're very remain in provo remember the 2 things that i care about. the. parties had to design a stress defeat in my opinion it was high time for it and now we'll see whether the european results could influence our national politics all be implemented here i mean all the leader of germany's s.p.d. party which is a member of the ruling coalition says she's stepping down under an all as well officially announce her resignation as party leader on monday and this problem entry later on tuesday comes after the s.t.p.

is a poor showing in the european elections as artist maria national reports. it's not just a coincidence but rather a larger cold move following what many called germany's social democrats double defeat they lost dramatically in a regional vote earlier in may but simple tenuously were even harder heat in the european parliament elections the national support dropped down to 15.5 percent that's comparing to almost 28 percent back in 2014 the results that the party is cheaper south described shortly after the results were announced as extremely disappointing let's now take a listen what else she had to say. the election results indicate that we are dealing with a major change in the political landscape and public opinion on the economy and society a change and and we haven't managed to adjust to that sufficiently but what is interesting what happened to the asp e.d.'s part of the broder phenomenon not only social democrats but angle of merkel's conservatives the 2 parties that have been

dominating german politics for decades started losing to smaller read turn and to parties hand usually it happens when people are looking for changes after some false year 1st sightings astronomers warn the night sky could be becoming too cluttered org is a star words and a few minutes. that's kaiser's financial survive until they save money the bellatrix. clutch it is it this is the central plank support diagram is going to cover my notes a stop to that. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going for and let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow only really i'm going to

resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to energize testing. some very well done no dates and you know to say we should have standardized testing to be like saying well we shouldn't have our blood pressure checked or or even their weight if you're going to see the doctor those are standardized instruments you need to be able to know how children are doing right from when they start school. welcome back to the weekly the world is a dangerous place that was us vice president mike pence his message to graduates of the elite west point military academy and speech at times hectoring also told them

to expect to see combat. listen to the drill in full. you will fight on a battlefield for america some point your life if you didn't notice the words in the background that was mr vice president talking to the graduates of a top class u.s. military academy and that wasn't it how do you like this degree of certainty it is a virtual certainty that you will fight on a battlefield for america some point your life. you will lead soldiers in combat. you will have so what is the 2nd most important official in the country trying to make clear by that the good old boots on the ground will certainly be on the way to quite a few different places after all come on no one in this world would dare to send an army against america to put up a fight there nobody will realistically send soldiers to attack the superpower of

all superpowers and so men and women of west point no matter where you're deployed . you will be the vanguard of freedom here they are the future of basters of freedom you look at their faces and frankly it doesn't seem they're in raptures over what mr pence is saying but let's hear where in the world we might expect to see a boost in freedom in the days to come some of you will join the fight against radical islamic terrorists in afghanistan. and iraq oh these are familiar places where the pro says so to say began a while ago soon it will be 20 years any more destinations some of you will join the fight in europe where an aggressive russia seeks to redraw international boundaries by force probably in this area it's a bit of an exaggeration that the graduates will find themselves on a battlefield taking part in nato as big war games there that's more like it.

i i. well at least for now it's only been in the form of drills for now and finally the most curious part and some of you may even be called busy upon to serve. in this hemisphere it won't be rocket science for you to figure out where the boots on the ground money to be marching off to next in the western hemisphere then there is a well off where for the white house it's a classic all options are on the table plus we heard from the opposition big guy there one. he wouldn't mind at all and now to those who have already finished their service u.s. lawmakers from across 11 states are planning to introduce

a bill that will improve the way the country treats its veterans that's after the u.s. army received numerous tweets from veterans the telling their experiences of mental trauma. serve something greater than myself. to just that what do i give to others to protect the ones i love and a better myself as a man in a way or how has serving impacted you the combat cocktail p.t.s.d. severe depression anxiety isolation suicide attempts never ending rage it cost me my relationship with my eldest son and my grandson it cost some of my men so much more how did serving impact me ask my family i spend sleepless nights wrecked with guilt because none of the horror and suffering i've seen even matters because we're all just grist for a pay mill run by madmen because if i speak up and say and this war is wrong my battle buddies fighting their own demons ostracized me do y. get

a reply for the dad they can't get any more my husband became an ex because of his p.t.s.d. then he got agent orange cancer and died my cousin died of a rad chemical cancer my other cousin is in remission from the seen thing at the moment and also has p.t.s.d. . to everyone who responded to this thread thank you for sharing your story your stories are real they matter and they may help those in similar situations the army is committed to the health safety and well being of our soldiers so aside is a major issue among veterans despite the us department of veteran affairs reporting they were duction in the overall rate $6000.00 take their own life every year mostly using guns and it's young service personnel under the age of 34 who are most at risk the vice president for our veterans for peace us says that many soldiers are left to deal with their problems by themselves and america people like to put

soldiers on pedestals and create heroes out of the soldiers are last in their bind where they are being simultaneously hero worshipped and having to deal with really traumatic. experiences in life really notably impacted my life in a way is that i'm just not even yet comfortable speaking about it made it difficult for me to have a family i had p.t.s.d. and depression for a decade without even realizing it is not anything i would wish on anybody to join the military and yet i know some for some people it's their only way to try to get out of where they're at it's no wonder this was signed rates are so high amongst the veteran population because that kind of intense experience from people are still trying to figure out who they are as a person is just it could only. make life more difficult for the individual.

spotters went into overdrive this week when reports emerged of a number of strange objects in the sky over the netherlands and amateur astronomer captured the images the mystery turned out to be the 1st part of a satellite program by entrepreneur musk space x. company heading into orbit he plans to launch merely $12000.00 satellites this year with the aim of helping to revive internet access to unwired parts of the globe but it seems not everyone was prepared for the surprise of seeing so many new celestial bodies heading skyward one local you off website reported 150 reports of an alien invasion the concern for a lot of professional stargazers is that the night sky will not be changed for the worse for ever. i know people are excited about those images of the train of space x. stalling satellites but it gives me pause if space x.

launches all 12000 they will outnumber the stars visible to the naked eye i consist of us from my garden down to magnitude 5 i'm on the edge of the city lots of light pollution and can just see the milky way 1600 stars a bright of the night 5 thanks to space 6 star link i will soon see 7 satellites for every single star to those upset about how bright the elon musk's starling set allies are please don't forget their horrendous impact on radio astronomy. musk later asked his team to investigate ways to reduce the amount of light coming from the satellites one astrophysicist we spoke to think that the satellites will damage the work of star gazers visual issue which is that you telescopes usually track the stars in the sky and then the subtle aids move not according to the thousands cope with according to their orbits which is a bit faster and that leaves huge traipse tricks in the images when you analyze

them and therefore this is a huge problem that you have to deal with we usually yes the numbers we do in these kind of problems but if the number of satellites increase it's too posed to us with the brightness is maintained as we observed last weekend and that this could be really problematic that in the optical reading which is the kind of light that we can see the other probably meeting the radio which i think it's even worse because there is some leakage of radio signals from the satellites that are run up at just some of the biggest headline stories from the past week thanks for tuning in this hour. international economic forum is a unique. business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia
