before. i realized that this is not working actually do something about. the week's top stories here on our to international the u.s. accuses iran of attacking. iran. and survivors of. companies whose products allegedly contributed to the tragedy. of the country's special trade. our broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our 2 international thomas

glad you're with us. a furious between the united states and iran this week after washington accused tehran of attacking to oil tankers in the gulf of oman secretary of state said washington's assessment was based on intelligence and that no one else in the region had the capacity to carry out such an attack. it is the assessment of the united states government that the islamic republic of iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the gulf of oman today these unprovoked attacks present a clear threat to international peace and security a blatant assault on the freedom of navigation and an unacceptable campaign of escalating tension by iran the us immediately jumped to make allegations against iran without a shred of factual circumstantial evidence only makes it abundantly clear that the b. team is moving to a plan b. sabotage diplomacy. after the iranian foreign minister's statement of the u.s.

central command released a grainy video which it claims shows iranian special forces removing an unexploded mine from one of the vessels and the owner of the tanker though says the crew reported being hit by flying projectiles. the 2 vessels con fire in one of the world's key oil routes close to the strait of hormuz it is the only way in and out of the persian gulf and the incident to drew worldwide reaction and triggered a surge in oil prices with russia saying the situation could pose a threat to the global economy with more on the story here's our tease keep them up and. so they were to oil tankers that were hit. probably. back. down if you're.

going to be. from want to get it from tokyo you. didn't want to go home do you want to get it wrong don't you get a brand you dream i'm going to be on board no fly went oh i don't care but i don't want company. to go and he's been pretty quiet about. the boat but it pulled the. pin the so this minute it will. not supposed they can the let's go over the facts now the 1st one belongs to john fredrickson 2 he's a long time norwegian trading partner of iran his relationship with iran goes back to the 1980 s. one biography even refers to him as the ayatollah as lifeline so at a time when washington is using all kinds of pressure to try and stop or running an oil exports it really doesn't make sense for iran to then lash out and attack one

of its oldest friends now the 2nd oil tanker to be hit is even more interesting this is a japanese owned chemical tanker and it was hit at the same time that japan's prime minister shinzo ave was in tehran meeting with iran's supreme leader that. iran from the ancient. of the persian empire into the present day has been the great country of the middle east and will remain sorry in the future so we're to believe that at the time that iran was making nice with japan while japan was helping them to find ways to help their oil exports keep flowing despite u.s. sanctions that iran then turns around and decides to bomb a japanese vessel in fact iran has been rather nice to the united states in the last few days a us resident who is charged with espionage was just released as a gesture of goodwill so why would they then choose this moment to fire tar paedos in the gulf of oman the iranian foreign minister just zarif is describing these events as suspicious reports of the tanks on japan related to tank use occurred

while pm was meeting with ayatollah for extensive and friendly talks suspicious doesn't begin to describe what likely transpired this morning while iran is struggling to keep its nuclear deal intact and keep its economy afloat by selling its most prized resources on the international market like bomb peo would have us believe they then flipped out and torpedoed their 2 key business partners now why exactly would iran do that well because they're the bad guys of course don't ask too many questions hale bopp and r.t. new york amid fears of a military confrontation between iran and the u.s. we asked our guests for their views on the standoff. washington with mr palm piro and mr bolton are really trying to. escalate the situation so that they have an opportunity and an excuse to attack iran when

a crime is committed you have to know to whom this crime is beneficial so as we can discuss and we can see the true political situation of iran and the united states in the persian gulf we can say that the iranians are not going to torpedo its ship which will lead to the americans to attack them and it's going to give the american an excuse to attack. they ran their country of iraq there are other interested parties who could very easily been walled in this particular act which took place in the last 24 hours could be saudi arabia could be washington itself with this fleet in the gulf region the americans know because the americans despite what donald trump always says he doesn't want to go to war he doesn't want to put boots on the ground he doesn't want to to send his troops to iran to get killed the american people are not ready for that he just want to score a political win and get the uranium to come and discuss on the table with him in

the usa wants to remove the current government in tehran mr bolton has clearly been rubbing his hands with glee over the last decade when he wasn't a security adviser that he wants removal of the regime in tehran so it's only john bolton who wants to go to war but even the president recently said that he's ready to go to the to discuss with the iranians and even my computer the secretary of state with the hotkeys and who was go to war all the time he said recently that the united states is ready to negotiate with iran without any precondition. londoners held a silent march on saturday marking 2 years since the grunfeld tower fire which killed 72 people and comes after 3 u.s. firms which produced materials used in the building face a lawsuit from hundreds of survivors and relatives of the victims some of the

products are banned from use in u.s. skyscrapers prompting accusations of double standards. clinics and the message that foreign law of the west less than american lives and that it is acceptable to expose people outside the united states to dangerous to which people in the united states would not be exposed. the lawsuit names cladding producer are comic whose product is by the company's own admission flammable but also names whirlpool the maker of the refrigerator that is believed to have caused the fire and insulation made by seal attacks is said to have released cyanide gas leading to further of voidable a fatality as. all

3 companies expressed of their sympathies with the victims whirlpool also noted that 2 separate probes that failed to find fault with its refrigerator sealed texas said its insulation was just one element of the cladding system used on the tower while psychotic said it would respond in court. we spoke to peter herbert co-founder of b m e a lawyers for grand final he says the 3 companies must be held to account. the united states turns out a very good friendly culture whereby if a multinational national company hires guilty often selling negative product or

bridge failed product without sufficient safeguards then they will permit those previously been cases in the united states where a building collapse has resulted in damages of around about $230000000.00 being distributed to the victims and residents and not tragedy i believe there's a 2 year limitation period in the united states that action must be commenced the floor 2 years expires otherwise the limitation act would rule any action outside of their limited jurisdiction of the u.s. so it is a necessity to safeguard their legal position and at the end of the day the question is are the individuals that grants loans stop that so much going to get to know you but serial benefits for those of their families who have been bereaved people who are often the breadwinners and therefore if that is right then that must be part of a just settlement. the death of a syrian rebel drew widespread media attention this week prompting a debate about his legacy. is believed to have been killed in clashes with

government forces in amman province a former goalkeeper for syria's youth team the 27 year old shot to prominence in the early years of the uprising singing at street protests against the country's president bashar al assad widely referred to as the nightingale of the revolution he was even the subject of an award winning 2013 documentary but in the years that followed a number of songs and statements became increasingly extreme parties donald quarter comments now and a bit of warning though we should tell you that his report contains images of an execution. he became the poster boy of the syrian uprising or shall we say the voice ringback. oh yeah. and his death in battle against government forces apparently made him

a fallen hero in the eyes of the media syrian football and singer of revolution killed in conflict. syrian soccer goalie who became rebel i can dies in battle syrian soccer star symbol of free vault dies after battle. that also route was a former syrian footballer who turned rebel fighter and not just any rebel fighter all know he became an icon of the fight against bashar al assad so he wasn't shying away from speaking the truth here's one of the so-called singer of the revolutions greatest hits judge for yourself. and. perhaps the lyrics don't exactly communicate the artist's intended message that's all right though also it was much

more articulate about his political beliefs in this 2014 interview that our vision of what we do blame islamic state. but that blame comes with love because we know that these 2 groups and not politicized and have the same goals as us they are working for god and they care about islam and muslims no you didn't hear that wrong the same goals as islamic state and apparently 911 was a great accomplishment to. was good yet. there are those in the media who acknowledge it's problematic characteristics but for them a little elbow rubbing with terrorist groups shouldn't stand between him and his rightful page in the history books. some individuals celebrated as heroes make you

doubt all stories of heroes in history books others like abdul basset route not inspire of but despite his flaws make those stories highly plausible he's a true legend and his story is well documented may his soul rest in peace so if these guys got an oscar. abdul deserves a grammy no less as in other. western operations it becomes important to maintain this sense of plausible deniability it's clearly being useful for the us and the us media to maintain. this whole idea of there being moderate democratic forces among

the rebels in syria but clearly most of the groups fighting the government were really extreme islamist groups that's the reality and these were the groups that the cia and and its allies its british and french and saudi and qatari and turkish allies were supporting and arming from the very early stages of this conflict. india is imposing trade tariffs on $28.00 classes of u.s. goods in a tit for tat measure this follows donald trump's decision to withdraw all new delhi's preferential trade status for goods including steel the us president accused new delhi of failing to give washington equitable access to its market so in retaliation import taxes as high as 70 percent have been placed on u.s. products such as omens and apples we spoke to the editorial advisor from india's republic t.v. who believes there is nothing equitable on global trade. it's not

a train well it's a john think that's watch john does i mean he needs to make these noises you used every country is constantly constantly saying i'm going to do this and we'll do of at the end there's nothing equitable in trade no more than that is anything it could to get in foreign policy the big guys do what they want ok this only set interest the end tire trade the trade one is never been at the top of them you cannot compare a country of the american economy size the indian economy we are going all the countries the need each other trade means trading with each other this is business as usual. in the latest up sort of our tease in case you missed it paulie boy girl gives her own unique take on washington's controversial trade policies and those countries blacklisted by terror. how do you launch a war without needing to fight a war in case you missed it the economy stupid.

international access to the u.s. market used to be a bit like dating the rich girl next door when you were a voter was not easy or cheap but in the end it was worth it hundreds of times those u.s. markets are now and 11 and started by well let the down wind access is now expensive and even if it was worth it you know it's going to hurt so we all know that america has the biggest military in the world just levels the cost of whatever country you are in there's a good chance that there is a u.s. aircraft carrier staring right back at you so now the u.s. is a weapon raising its economy in order to fight international disputes and dominating the market is i.c.b.m.'s. teetered you saying the intercontinental ballistic sanction ready to be deployed anywhere you need it advantages of the i.c.b.m.'s include causing misery to entire populations in

countries you don't like without firing a single shot collapse the economies of your opponents and then blame the attack countries without actually having to deploy a single soldier and then accuse them of aggression and remember one stipple oid i.c.b.m.'s will work for decades with absolutely no effort from you just keep it fueled with a strong dollar you're going to leave the country. because republicans are dishonest because it was. sanctions are great to use against the likes of cuba venezuela north korea iran russia you know the bad guys. the problem is you can't use them against the good guys which is why i don't know for months administration has repackaged sanctions he calls them our it tiris allow you to target friends like mexico europe.

and especially your buddies in beijing because while sanctions are used as punishment tyrants are just a normal part of global trade right the way the us has been using them is no different china has started fighting back though apparently they've started to prevent the release of american films this might all have a hollywood ending after all. the community has hit out at the vatican for saying in a recent report that there are 2 genders male and female it was meant to tackle what the church the catholic church rather calls an educational crisis saskia taylor delves into the reason for the sudden outrage over a stance the vatican has always held. now you'd be forgiven for thinking the catholic church doesn't really know what turns the public on and you'd be right in fact it's just dealt a mosque to class and turning people off the vatican has released

a paper which says there are only 2 genders male and female and it's called male and female he created them just so there was no misunderstanding if we wish to take an approach to the question of gender theory that is based on the path of dialogue it is vital to bear in mind the distinction between the ideology of gender on the one hand and the whole field of research on gender that the human sciences of one's taken on the other so according to the catholics men are men and women are women and anyone who sees themselves otherwise is provocative and poses a threat to the institution of marriage and seeks to overthrow nature itself unsurprisingly it's head up you know note amongst those who are outraged to find that any if you want gender theory other than that of course exists by refusing to engage in dialogue with people about their lived experiences or so from a standing in faith the vatican remains in the dark ages for most in a false teaching the law is

a myth rumor unfolds so the paper is not popular partly because it sounds like it's from the time before christ which it is it's filled with quotes from the bible after all and because it was released during pride month the 30 days every year the world celebrates the l g b t community quit but wait no where in the paper does it say being gay is sinful and in fact it condemns any discrimination and violence against people the number of men and women who have deep seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible they must be accepted with respect compassion and sensitivity every sign off and just destroy a nation in their regard should be avoided now it's surely not news to outrage friends that the church struggles with accepting homosexuality transgenderism and when they do throw in the 2 pennies worth met the by. as huge as one bishop in rhode island planned when he decided to chat his view on pride month a reminder that catholics should not support her at 10 o g b t q pride month the

vents held in june they promote a culture and encourage your t.v.'s that are contrary to catholic faith and morals . it seems the people who replied must of left the christian values of kindness out the door we woke up this morning and we saw the bishops tweet and we were honestly flabbergasted he is like the don't trump of the catholic church goes on twitter and spews out hate my catholic children will be attending pride events as this. guy always taught me what would jesus do yeah i know jesus would be attending that pride parade with also with pride and i also know that god is love and jesus is love and love is love the bishop apologized and decided to spread the love but the question begging to be asked is why the surprise kids the church isn't known for being big on reform is it really shocking it's not breaking it's habit pun

starting really in the 1980s under reagan at that turn deregulation you had the fed takeover and their sole purpose of that point was to try to squeeze workers completely out of the global economy so wages never went up real terms sense that stock markets keep going up and the reason to justify this is that the fed will say we need to try to take care of deflation even though that they are causing to you placing them in an environment where their money printing is increasing the debt. we had one man 3540 years old. this child in the water.
