was killed and 2 others are anxious middle east correspondent mohammed ali has the latest from damascus and official syrian military sources has confirmed that yes there was and is radiating russian on the q 4 military airport which is east of the homes in central syria according to the syrian military 2 of the israeli air missiles were intercepted and down but there were other israeli missiles that did reach their target the military airport killing one and syrian soldier and injuring 2 others also be israeli missiles cost some but serious damage and several other buildings around that c. $4.00 air force and also hit and ammunition depot over there inside that c. 4 military air force israel did not comment on the incident this is not the 1st time that it's used for military airport comes under israeli attack since the start of the crisis in syria in 2011 this is the 3rd actually israeli attack on syria and on saturday evening israel also attacked said syrian military posts in damascus

southern countryside in and 20 friends countryside and that attack that we so you know soldiers were killed as a result and some in others were injured the syrian foreign ministry did not comment on the issue but usually it also sends letters to the united nations complaining and saying that's those attacks are actually against international law undermining so we are $670.00 and are aiming at boosting the morale of the remaining terrorist groups in syria israel has not yet confirmed the latest strikes that on saturday the i.d.f. said it had responded to 2 missiles fired from syria into the disputed gun heights according to syria that israeli bombardment killed 3 people to the south of damascus syria and israel have been low in a huff century confrontation over the golan heights the area was seized by israeli forces during a war and $967.00 it was later israel but is still considered by the un to be syrian territory. israel has repeatedly accused syria of hostile military activity

in the golan heights and on saturday prime minister benjamin netanyahu said this country would not tolerate any firing into its territory well to former pentagon security analyst and an antiwar activist for their views on the latest escalation this all started when israel on its own initiated. an attack inside into syria almost a week ago and then syria responded and then we go and then there was a further attack syria went in with 2 more rockets into the goal line and we're seeing what we're seeing right now and so this thing has been escalating rather rapidly and israel has no right to do what it's doing and if in fact that matter has no right to be initiating any kind of conflict there are multitudes of un resolutions that insist that israel return the golan heights are the fact that a rare missile hit or struck some part of the golan heights is now used by the

netanyahu government as a pretext to carry out another air strike against syria this may very well be for domestic consumption inside of israel because nothing serves netanyahu better right now and to change the subject about his inability politically to form a government and his own upcoming corruption trials. and friday u.n. experts on torture claim the wages as songs as being treated amounts to psychological torture i think that he doesn't think that we can expand the will get a fair trial if extradited to the u.s. . this is an assumption don't want a person to government to medical experts specialize in i don't want documentary symptoms of physical and psychological courtroom treatment for sanctions 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 severe psychological

trauma would never see. several democratic states. in order to persecute them and isolate single well particular individuals without granting him the protection that actually is accorded to him but a lot of the u.k. foreign secretary condemns the u.s.'s minter is wrong and inflammatory or saying our son should always been free to leave the ecuadorian embassy and i don't find a jeremy holmes added that the government will stand in the way of us songes the extradition but we'll leave it up to the courts. earlier in the week an extradition hearing for asylum was postponed on health grounds boyko has the details. do the sounds was actually meant to be here in person he was meant to pair via video link but he's not even well enough to appear via video link 10 minutes on she's been moved to the hospital waiting all belmarsh prison that's up to

a maximum security prison where 7 out of 53 eccentric specific details when he went into the ecuadorian embassy back in 2012 and went to the state of the brain inside about the case of his health what we know is that there was a push from the medical board of. the fact that they did this and that may put him on the world speaks speaks plenty and that's how you know being in a higher security mike's a maximum security prison is difficult for anyone but julian spent 7 years confined in the ecuadorian embassy before but without medical treatment without hospital medical treatment attorneys form in other words states that most people might think this was going to be the 2nd hearing about this on just the extradition it will have to be a fairly procedural affair well there wasn't any major arguments from a scientific team or the prosecution the official start of it has been moved to the 12th of june essentially the question of what's meant to be all cute and boils down

to 2 fundamental things it is to get us on to act as a journalist when he published those phrases that secret u.s. materials and information and crucially the head is the u.k. going to allow him to be handed over to the u.s. so far as he is where he could face up to hundreds and 75 years behind bars that will turn. 17 counts on the espionage act and one commentator just about richard in his face a constant 75 years in prison which is outrageous the idea that a publisher can be. prosecuted and persecuted for the publishing the truth and face of a lifetime and in a prison in another country is. it's outrageous this espionage act has never before been given against john and i certainly against the government officials who leaked secrets in the past of course washington's argument is that assad isn't

a journalist that he's a hack path and that his publications put the lives of informants for the u.s. for its allies around the world in grave danger although what's interesting here is that with the charges unveiled against a child a staunch a lot of people even his critics of which there have been many many press freedom organizations and just journalists and whistleblowers around the world say that what happens with this exhibition case could have serious implications for the freedom of the press and for journalists who are around the world which is why kaunas so you much attention. there's been a new developments in the song case the u.s. justice department has reportedly dropped some of the charges against that we can expand relating to the leak of cia spying tools. u.s. special counsel robert mueller has resigned 2 years off the hear opened his probe into alleged collusion between donald trump and russia speaking to the public for

the 1st time since the investigation he sought to clarify the major findings of the report but it's kind of more pain explains both camps in washington or interpret in his words in their own way. robert mohler is all done because special counsel's office is closing and he's going to retire and to celebrate $35000000.00 in 2 years' worth of work he decided to address the media there's an old psychological test they call the war shack and basically it's a set of ambiguous ink blots it's up to the mind of the patient to determine what to see and the 10 minute presentation of robert muller seems a very much be in the eyes of the beholder 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 it's not that different from what he said at the end of his report but the democrats certainly took a lot from the statement of the mother was essentially referring impeachment to the

united states congress. statement makes it clear congress has a legal and moral obligation to begin impeachment proceedings immediately miller's statement makes clear with those who have read his report no it's an impeachment referral and it's up to congress to act they shewed given the special counsel was unable to pursue criminal charges against the president before the congress to respond to the crimes laws and other wrongdoing of president trump and we will do so i think it was very clear if you could clear the president he would have but he couldn't makes clear well muller said the report speaks for itself a special counsel found no collusion by any americans in ira's illegal activities now trump or the opposite from robert mueller he says he's in the clear nothing changes from the minute. reports there was insufficient evidence and therefore in our country a person is innocent the case is closed thank you then the white house press secretary clarified with

a statement there was no real news and there he reiterated the points that he'd already made in the report. we agree with them there was no collusion there was no conspiracy 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 the report has been published the investigation is long over but the saga continues both sides are sticking to what they said all along so you have to ask yourself if everyone was just going to keep saying what they've said the entire time impeached or no collusion why did we have the investigation to begin with. r t new york so you have sound political commentator steve mauls but i'm told is that the democratic leadership understands that they won't be able to trump impeached. nancy pelosi knows that it's politically unpopular and she would be the 1st to go it sure in the senate he knows that even if the house peaches donald trump then it goes

to the senate and they have to convict him and they need 2 thirds of the senate to convict him and schumer knows that's never going to happen it didn't happen with bill clinton then when they impeached bill clinton he won reelection so nancy pelosi has been around long enough to understand that the public doesn't really care about this and they're fed up with this whole russia nonsense and so they know that even if they have a picture of the house it's going to fail in the senate and donald trump i believe really wants to be impeached he's kind of egging them on you know hey do it if you want it's a horrible word it's a terrible thing but he's kind of prompting them to i dare you to do it because i think and i think nancy pelosi knows it will help. her pains are taken to the polls in the most famously contested e.u. parliamentary election in recent history and so is 3rd from anti establishment

movements while centrist parties lost ground there just turnout was the highest in 20 years and more than 50 percent. the elections still green and liberal parties make significant gains while anti establishment movements came out on top in countries like italy france and belgium right wing populist groups now hold about a quarter of the seats in the e.u. parliament and a shell of defense he reports what the results might be surprising there was no shortage of political drama in the run up. for months pundits have been predicting a rise in anti establishment parties ahead of the e.u. elections afterwards they were right but across the bloc in the weeks leading up to

the vote panic was setting in. take martin pen 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 an aide 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 here in france other scandals that were rife in the media included one russians well at least the alleged russians.

it was of course. the party which was in coalition. 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. 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 struck as 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 this 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 cornet out warning the populace party's wanted to destroy europe we are haring to deal with populist movements that in many areas are contemptuous of our values 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 what it's going to get them they are afraid of migrants or. 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. spots because. 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 the spurt. in part. parties had a disastrous defeat in my opinion it was high time for it and now we'll see whether the european results can influence our national politics all be implemented here on

. the coalition i think that brings the debate in england has made many people here in germany think about it this discussion has turned many citizens against the u. . i think people feel as if the existing political parties are giving them what they want and therefore their hunting around for something else i think says some extent is probably a protest just trying to engineer the tory vote to go more with. it wasn't unexpected. as an outcome i would say that kind of a level of division i would have expected across the country. is week representatives of venezuelan president nicolas maduro and opposition leader held a 2nd round of talks in norway without producing a deal the host nation did say the 2 sides had more had made progress however the us has its own solution. as we have repeatedly stated we believe the only thing to negotiate with nicolas maduro is the conditions of his departure they return to the

negotiating table comes despite the opposition's initial reluctance to take part why does south proclamation of power was supported by consistent hawkish stance among western leaders over the past 4 months it was star of takes us through the power struggle. to leave i swear to formally assume the duties of the national executive as president of venezuela. and that was how it all began a long and porthole road to the chaos and mayhem venezuela's in today it wants me local politician overnight short into political stardom and with the u.s. on his side it seemed one why don't you simply couldn't lose all our. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision many more countries followed suit brazil has just issued a note recognizing one we're going to go as venezuela's president one way door 1.

11 door in europe where you go you know when global venezuela began to devour itself from the inside too on by protests streets flooded people on mass reassuring maduro of their support all venting their anger at a president they call a dictator. meanwhile washington and rolled its arsenal from threats to sanctions to even seemingly harmless things like aid it try to slip the balance of power in favor over their man why don't i wish him a long quiet retirement on a pretty beach far from venezuela and the sooner he takes advantage of that the center is likely to have a nice quiet retirement on a pretty beach rather than being in some other beach area like guantanamo an unconventional holiday but among the mildest ideas in america's rhetoric all

options are on the day all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table all options are on the table because they always are but with all that commotion in white dove camp would have my dural the incumbent leader was willing to go all in conventional to trying to a to kill his readiness to talk it out with his new rival program if you go i am committed to international dialogue today tomorrow and always i'm committed and personally ready but back then why do it was feeling too good to grace's arch nemesis confronted with the blatant refusal my duro klang to the 2nd best thing he had and has apart from the support of a good share of his people the military is. stood strong with a dural despite what you do and washington's efforts to encourage defection. the president imposter tried to make it look like things were going his way. the

armed forces are standing behind the people and the constitution but very soon his vote overstatement was clear desertions were sporadic local and way below the critical mass needed to have the doura worried and all that leads us here to a complete stalemate why don't has won the battle for the hearts and minds on capitol hill for the embassies for the right to be called president of venezuela on the diplomatic papers of 3rd party countries but not his own to like to see them into various military law office and i as president in charge of the national parliament will evaluate all necessary options however cautious it may be an official evaluation of an international intervention is as good as an open call for one but with the us no longer looking as trigger happy as before why do it has sent his emissaries to talk with the dural no longer too good for that and the us

apparently once confident a quick power play would lead to victory now has learned that all or doesn't elect presidents. thousands of yellow vests protesters took to the streets of paris on sunday for a so-called march of the wounded ballots were displayed showing some of the horrific injuries caused by a police crowd control weapons since the movement started according to the french interior ministry more than 2500 demonstrators have been injured since november last year and prosecutors have launched an investigation into the harsh tactics used by offices police have routinely used rubber bullets and flash bang grenades on crowds in many cases causing life changing injuries here are some of the worst examples. the to.

take. a. good is ok we are well aware that both criminal and administrative investigations take time and we hope that the announcement by the paris prosecutor is not just political banter my goal is is to expose violence that has been concealed and even denied by the government unlike the government i'm not looking for exceptions to the law i'm looking for justice so that those who abuse their power including police will be punished. i heard from alexandra lange leader of a french police union he told us people it should be blaming the government and not trying to follow officers for the haas treatment available protesters. but the new governor the probes into police conduct were announced at a time when the government doesn't feel dependent on the police force and wants to curry favor with the french population convictions will follow and unfortunately

they will be groundless our colleagues will be told that they made mistakes while policing the protests and misuse their weapons so there will be no questions about police training and about those who water as to use traumatic weapons on demonstrators as long as we have this hierarchy in the country and or training the police will be blamed on the government will wash its hands of the problem with. us and was supposed have clashed with israeli security forces in east jerusalem schools without afterthought to then to the al aqsa mosque compound during ramadan .

not good the quality of passing was not good we didn't play like we should like we normally do i didn't play normally like i do i didn't sing that normally i do i think that must be a very bad very bad feeling of course it even had on his mind we are going to be losing one you love to 50 seconds and probably was thinking. even game a game in the control cain doesn't play and the result is the same. everyone will be saying crane has to pay even with one leg we. sorted the wards we manage as we the kids affordable. my best friends the ones the poor closer to me are the ones that were not starting places the only thing that i didn't enjoy
