thank. you. yes piece of thread but all options are on the table for iran including the military action which runs alleged. oil tankers in the gulf of oman. interposes trade tariffs on dozens of u.s. products in retaliation like some steel around a 1000000 by washington. and 2 sisters in saudi arabia pleads the international community for asylum after reportedly suffering years of abuse at the hands of their parents and they join a growing number of women looking for a way out of the gulf monica.

good morning just turned 11 am this monday here in moscow my name's kevin 0 in this is our international of got the latest 30 minute live update from the newsroom for you then suddenly this washington's once again putting all options on the table with a rant including military action u.s. secretary of state might pompei a reiterated his belief in terrans direct involvement into an alleged attack on all tankers in the gulf of. the american people should rest assured we have high confidence with respect to who conducted these attacks as well as half a dozen other attacks throughout the world over the past 40 days we are confident that we can take a set of actions that can restore deterrence which is our mission so you say a full range of options does that include a military response force iran in turn very many denies any involvement branding america statements sabotage diplomacy united states earlier released what it claimed to be evidence of to run having a hand in the attack including a video which allegedly showed an iranian crew removing an unexploded mine from one

of those tankers and america's closest allies to in the region are on the same page right now over it seems saudi arabia's crown prince says he's ready to deal with any threat posed by iran israel's also joined the chorus with the country's prime minister praise in washington firm stance towards iran to an opening ceremony of a new jewish settlement named after donald trump with the saber rattling to russia's chipped in now it's warmed the u.s. against finger pointing moscow cited the invasion of iraq in 2003 when false evidence was used to justify military action but then moving in music we didn't forget the violence with white powder we remember and therefore have learned to show restraint in our assessment we call upon sober assessments and wait for some credible evidence to be presented it's ridiculous to cite secret data in this case is the duty so it seems washing current could again be trying to find a pretext to wage war question oh well r t z goes down of the cross it. donald trump is not a president known for policy consistency but one thing no critic can take away from

him is his apparent a burning hatred for iran everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare ran around spread death destruction and chaos behind every problem is iran's a very dangerous player very bad player iran's leaders so yes. death. and destruction and with guys like might bump aoe and john bolton pushing trying to squeeze that trigger it seems a war could be looming but thank god it can be just the president's cool thing like this needs congress' approval on paper except that really it doesn't we were absolutely presented with a full formal presentation on how the 2001 math might authorize war on iran yes i'm certain i'm sorry sir secretary powell pale said it with his own words he did not say i want to go to iran and i'm going to use 2001 he referenced

a relationship between iran and al qaeda there's a convenient loophole that can help them and it's something called a u.s. a u.s. stands for authorization for use of military force against terrorists a long name but basically it allows the u.s. to attack any country that has ties to al qaida this has already been used in iraq and afghanistan and if you look hard enough terrorists can be found everywhere in the past few months iran has been turning into a more and more of an al qaeda haven according to washington for 40 years the islamic republic's revolutionary guard corps has actively engaged in terrorism the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of the really regimes use of terrorism as a tool of statecraft makes it fundamentally different. from any other government they are a nation of terror and we will put up with it all aboard the militaristic bandwagon it is the best chance the hawks in capitol hill have had in years up until now

would trump has been more or less true to his promise to curb his country's military adventurism being all bark and no bite as a candidate for president. i loudly pledged a new approach. great nations do not fight endless wars. and while there is literally more verifiable evidence that would allow saudi arabia to be bombed into oblivion and. the saudis are the good guys in washington's playbook the of course outright denial such claims of involvement with extremists there america's greatest ally in the gulf which also happens just like trump to hate iran with a passion starting a war with iran would be unlike any other war the united states has engaged in before abroad that would be

a conflict that in some ways my be worse than vietnam it certainly won't be iraq the problem is that and bolton are in charge of foreign policy i don't think it really has the details in hand it's like he's a rider on the horse but he doesn't have the reins and of course they will use the tool the. authorization with the congress based on terrorism because they will present whatever iran does in the persian gulf or elsewhere as an act of terrorism that is the best way these days to get americans behind. and attack course in the face of a donald trump's repeatedly claimed he doesn't want to go to war with iran and we're still in new york where they thought of the possibility of potential military action then. can you imagine a situation where it would be you would be in support of a war with iran. it was after one was another war and then another.

thing is another way. open assassinations of bombing other people and we knew about it you could prove it i think we need real proof that some type of activity is actually happening where people are losing life losing land where some type of injustice is happening at the hands of iran but at this point i don't really know that that's necessarily a terrorist attack on you know innocent people you know something like 911 happens of course the response is this is necessary and immediate. is war the answer to that maybe not maybe but i still think personally we should find a different solution besides war we've been to many wars a lot of people have died in doesn't seem to make. this having violence against the whole i think the country maybe can resolve is always use. other countries interference you know i can say is i hope nobody gets hurt i hope

for world peace it seems the u.s. might be opening a front in its international trade war this time its ally in the new delhi's firing back its impose tariffs on a further 28 american products some as high as 70 percent all this off to donald trump's refusal to examine india from increased steel and aluminum taxes in the u.s. last year but then india threatened to increase its tariffs to as high as under 20 percent ahead of a meeting with his indian counterpart the later this month the u.s. president's accused new delhi now of not giving washington equal access to the indian market and the case you missed it to take a swipe at america's controversial trade policies these days how do you launch a war without needing to fight your war in case you missed. it. in. 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 sturgeon i well it is our window access is now expensive and even if it was worth it you know it's going to hurt so much we all know that america has the biggest military in the world just level the cost of whatever country you're 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 once deployed 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 very. traditional just because it was. sanctions are great to use against the likes of cuba venezuela last 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 move troops administration has repackaged sanctions he calls them it. allow you to target friends like mexico europe canada and especially. nobody's in beijing because while sanctions are used as punishment tower acts are just a normal part of global trade 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 an american film this might all have a hollywood ending after all. there we spoke to bit or advisor from india's republic t.v. you believe there's nothing that credible in business these days. it's not a trade war it's a john think that's what she does i mean he needs to meet these noises you use every country's constantly constantly saying i'm going to do this and at the end there's nothing in trade no more down there is anything critical in foreign policy the big guys do what they want ok this only interests the end tired she has never been at the table and you cannot compare a country of the american economy size the indian economy or the great all the countries the need each other trade means treating with each other this is business

as usual. different story no 2 sisters from saudi arabia are appealing to the international community for a safe haven after reportedly suffering brutal treatment at the hands of their father the girls turned to twitter to try to raise awareness of the plight but the social media for them suspended their accounts without explanation as well as the every human rights activist posting on their behalf to all pages it has been restored one of the videos they appeal to be given asylum. my father took away our past and our national identity he is looking for us now we trace. so on you mean rights and giving nations into all of human rights activities to help us move to a safe country. we have one goal to describe where the parents were religious hardliners who are both verbal and physically abusive to them one of them said she is not to be taken to hospital to treat their injuries they are now in turkey

having escaped swallowing our family holiday there human rights advocate we spoke to says social media here was crucial in helping these girls speak out. it's very important so anyone who's potentially at risk to publish their case it's going to help them find asylum loose in other instances we girls have just waited too long to get their story out there and that's allowed the family to track them down and essentially take them back to saudi against their will we need to be using social media more often it's revolution what allies the way that we can deal with human rights situations like this but at the same time it's hugely risky because when we see accounts being suspended by swiss we have to question then and what the protocols are to protect people who are risking the situation obviously they need to install more safeguards for situations there's another string to this story to the no outside surly arabia but this still at risk of being found by the authorities is because of a smartphone or created by the saudi government it could be used for monday in

things like renewing passports and paying parking fines but it also allows male family members to track female relatives and even prevent them from traveling in the case of these systems is not unique every year and a 1000 women attempt to flee the kingdom one successful case was sort of. who tried to flee to australia via thailand after barricading a cell phone a hotel room she then launched a twitter campaign and was eventually granted asylum in canada a saudi diplomat made a joke that denying your access to technology modified to been a good idea. when she arrived in you twitter account and her followers grew to 45000 in one day it would have been better if they'd confiscated her mobile phone instead of her passport but a silly again says that as the number of cases rise everything must be done to give these women a voice. over the past year we've seen cases such as say the let's see fair we've seen a half mama done we've seen hints from the u.a.e. and we're seeing more and more and i think that as i say each case is quite public

and in fact muhammad's case was published and grew because inside saudi arabia is a step in itself to sort of promoting those more secular secular belief system and the fact that it was since it is quite surprising and therefore that it's going to inspire more and more girls who are suffering abuse to really try to escape in and risk their lives to secure the kind of freedom from abuse that of course everybody wants i mean also in these women would like to report the kind of abuse they have suffered to also receives within the country as to the u.a.e. authorities to saudi but they're not taking seriously and in fact it can lead to the increase in mental punishments or ethan did by way of ahmed killing. them 15 am monday morning here in moscow thanks for watching out international air head and i to treason president trump last the new york times over an article about u.s. cyber attacks on russia's power grid there's some history to between the president

of the paper as you'll see when we come back. in a weld in which there are the americans that the chinese the indians the russians except traffic europeans can only really be a player at that global top table by standing united and we are already united on the economic front and we increasingly understand that we have to do so also on the defense front. one else so wrong. but i. just. to shape out the attic. and engagement. the trail.

find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. and good morning ecuador's granted the united states permission to use one of its famed limbs as an airfield but the government in quito is facing a backlash from what critics are calling then a violation of the country's constitution over the says could taylor takes a closer look this morning. the galapagos islands home to the giant tortoises birthplace of darwin's theory of evolution and it'll when you walk to see by the sound of lapping waves and the gentle hum of american planes you know as you know

you know i love those i've mentioned that the galapagos for ecuador is our aircraft carrier it is a natural carrier because it is shores us permanent replenishment interception facilities and it is a 1000 kilometers from our coast united states is going to take charge of improving conditions especially refueling what has might now find some new star spangled species across the sky because ecuador has just agreed to allow the u.s. military to use the u.s. go world heritage site reports claim the pentagon will now keep planes on the historic san cristobal island for operations in the pacific ocean with the primary purpose said to be fighting drug trafficking so far so good that's just a small catch a minor inconvenience really but ecuador and constitution doesn't allow foreign military bases on its soil but now if it says the defense minister it's not a base passaic it's a funny little gathering place going to look at the u.s.

aircraft meet for periods of no more than a week and is subject to the protocol of the preservation of sovereignty those are my concerns gone also on the plus side washington's covering all the costs but perhaps unsurprisingly not everyone's happy about this latest addition galapagos is not an aircraft carrier for gringo use is an ecuadorian province patrimony of humanity patriotic ground that his vessel soul can reach such a level describes very well the government to represent now ecuador and u.s. relations hit a no no under former president rafael correia he i'm going to washington by closing one of the largest u.s. bases outside the state relations father soured one crank wanted wiki leaks co-founder to be an asylum. asylum and sheltered him from the long arm of the u.s. justice department for years but things have been on the up recently thanks to lenin moran no who's been in power since 2017 it was miranda who decided that

a son should outstayed his welcome at the embassy in london we all know the fallout from that the whistle pro was dragged out by the british police slapped with 18 criminal counts by washington now faces extradition to the u.s. and potentially a 175 years behind bars now coincidentally or not at the same time acquittals bank account got an almighty boost with a $4200000000.00 loan from the i.m.f. the international monetary fund where the u.s. has huge voting rights we all know friendships about give and take so at the end of the day what's a small national treasure when your allies got deep pockets. don't translate into the new york times again this time of an article about u.s. cyber attacks on russia is a group of the senior correspondent more it's difficult to pinpoint who declared this war but it is

a war no most of us know armies just articles tweets and a whole lot of hate the feeling new york times versus demagogue trump 1st battle took place before drama was even president ford the candidate in the pundits over objectivity was the 1st to fall in this bitter war if you're a working journalist and you believe that donald j. trump is a demagogue playing to the nation's worst racism nationalistic tendencies that he cozies up to and see american dictators and that he will be dangerous with control of the united states nuclear codes how the heck are you supposed to cover him. you'd think the obvious answer would be keeping your opinions to yourself and doing your job staying professional this is war things like on this the impartiality only get in the way the n.y.t. even went against its own neutrality bible writers negative should guard against

word choices that undermine each ality if one politician is for all resolute an opponent should not be rigid or dogmatic if one country in a conflict has a leadership while the other has a regime impartiality suffers. in those days the n.y.t. reported but trump destroyed them from the ashes was the new new york times these days in no longer just report he's so precise that we lied i do think to be frank he changed us i think we're different as a result of donald trump once you break some barriers there's no going back that's it they've gotten new york times headlines became the ying that trumps twitter yang trump lies he lies he cheats he tells fall towards a mock trial for his $10000.00 lies i mean this isn't journalism this isn't

reporting this is a personal vendetta just like trump's tweet after tweet accusing the new york times of lying deception of treason most recent incident a story about the u.s. hacking russia's power grid made up says the president do you believe that the failing new york times used it a story stating that the u.s. is substantially increasing cyber attacks on russia this is a virtual act of treason by a once great paper these are true cowards and without doubt the enemy of the people enemy of the people they don't like that out of all the things trump school them now it's perhaps what hurts the most enemy of the people is not just a toss of a line it sounds good in the tweet. it is a particularly pernicious phrase deep history no president has ever uttered those words in public what aside the president of the united states and once proud

journalists virtually slinging. childishly that again perhaps this is healthy good for everyone else i mean the both of them in others the elites as they call themselves really needed to be taken down a notch has been running against elites his entire business and now is political career and that includes us. footnote to this didn't take long for the york times to for a solver tweet back out the president according to the newspaper the us president's administration had seen the article before it was published with tromso national security officials expressing no concern they say about the content at the time 24 minutes past 11 is a bit of news coming i will tell you. this hour coming from. iran the rainy atomic agency spokesman saying the country will surpass its uranium stockpile limit set by the 2050 nuclear deal in just 10 days time there's

a press conference later on this morning with media stop complying with some elements of that deal you may recall him a year after the united states unilaterally withdrew from that agreement iran's urged all the signatories to stick to their promises to protect the country's oil and banking sectors from u.s. sanctions but as i say it looks like that deadline is coming up or that story is moving on within the next 10 days they will have passed that limit for you for the their uranium stockpile we'll keep you posted on the small reaction to it in the coming hours as well in full as well r.t. dot com now the same for me kevin i mean thanks watching out international and stay with us on twitter of course on facebook as well. starting really in the 1980 s. under reagan and that are in deregulation you had the fed takeover and their sole purpose at that point was to try to squeeze workers' completely out of the global

economy so wages never went up real terms signs 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 that they are causing deflation in an environment where their money printing is increasing the debt. when lawmakers manufacture consensus instinctive public wealth. when the ruling classes and project themselves. in the final merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. to. relieve real world. you know

world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to get the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. and there are 142000 6 i was substituting for

a 5th grade class all of sudden that's kids come bursting in a library really agitated and one of the boys to the health and on the way he collapsed the next morning syngenta was denied denied tonight we were not spraying anything. the teachers had actually gone out and taken pictures when all this chaos was going on the school and students were being and they were spraying right in the fields right adjacent to this school a follow up study was done. on that $32.00 page study the last 4 pages are the chemicals that they have found at waimea canyon middle school we have shown an association between organophosphate exposure as measured by those metabolites in the mother's urine during pregnancy and shortened just ation abnormal neonatal reflexes decreased mental development in the children at 2 years of age decreased i.q. at age 7 and 10 years of age pervasive developmental disorder which is like or to

some symptoms. attention problems in school age poor executive functioning in pre-adolescents and we have also shown that there are separate collations of people that might be more affected than others i have virtue of their genetics. protecting our kids from chemicals is a common sense thing that everybody can get behind leave points to examples in recent years of students getting sick from pesticides used by farmers near schools this is really great and several incidents in 2008 in why man koichi where dozens of students got sick after a pesticide was applied on a nearby seed corn plot we've seen example after example where we've had to rush children from a public school to an e.r. like the ones i work in across the state for severe area long problems we know that

these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that a chemical company workers themselves be geared up and suited up what happened with why i'm a middle school was particularly egregious the state of hawaii department of agriculture does not do its job with respect to investigating complaints about pesticide drift and for years this is been the case it doesn't monitor the air it doesn't monitor the water it doesn't monitor the soil to make sure that pesticides are not leaving the fields and going into where people live and play and work. as a mom i think about what would i do if i had to send my child to school every day alongside a field where i knew they were spraying pesticides but i didn't know when and i didn't.
