and jurisdiction that respects your sovereignty as an individual and respects your wealth don't live in a country that's just going to rip you off blindly. just 1st until tom says he cooled off a strike on iran the last moment after he found the number of possible casualties. president putin pounds russian from flying the citizens to join after mass protests in the capital tbilisi. scotti student claims that he was kicked out of class up to saying there are only 2 genders he secretly filmed telling him. you know what you think and i knew good things for you if you want to see a clear very clear discrimination on the grounds of videos you make in discrimination which i'm pushing for 2 genders males.

and so joining us this evening this is. donald trump says he called off a strike on iran with just 10 minutes to go comes amid escalating tensions between washington and tehran kellam open explains. 3 locations in iran were selected for a u.s. military strike according to what donald trump put on social media and 10 minutes prior to when a strike would have taken place donald trump determined that $150.00 people being killed as was the asked him it was a disproportionate response to this striking down of a single on man drone so donald trump decided alternately not to go ahead with the attack against iran now the unmanned drone he was referring to was the u.s. drone that was shot down over the strait of hormuz and. now iran says that this

drone violated their territory in the south of the country and that it was in their waters when it was shot down the united states maintains however that the drone was in international waters and was unprovoked and really attacked by the iranians at this point we've got donald trump saying that he essentially called off a strike now prior to donald trump's announcement we did see him speak to the media in the aftermath of the drone being shot down by i made a big mistake and made a very bad mistake ok this is really how. you find out and you maybe you'll find out you'll find. you're obviously obviously you know we're not going to be talking too much about it you're going to find out they made a very big mistake now tensions between the united states and iran have been rising over the past few months in addition to the united states states withdrawing from the iran nuclear deal a $1000.00 new u.s.

troops were added to the middle east region in response to a supposed threat from iran furthermore the united states has blamed iran for attacks on oil tankers that took place on june 13th now iran says they are not responsible for those attacks and have evidence to prove it now at this point we've got many observers looking and saying that the way u.s. officials have spoken and conducted themselves regarding iran especially since the trumpet ministration has taken office for their neighbors for stability everywhere we go in the middle east it's a real. major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death and destruction and the leaders of iran a record piers the world's largest financing of international terrorism behind every problem is a ring and what we've been trying to do is to get iran to behave like a normal nation the united states is calling for a u.n. security council meeting to take place on monday the united states maintains that this. drone was shot down in international waters and this was essentially an

attack on the united states iran says it has records of the drone and can prove that not only did the drone violate iran's territory in the south of the country but that it was shot down in iran's territorial waters so at this point all eyes on the international community and on the united nations security council in the hopes that things can be resolved. i'm a political science professor at the university to run down strobe intended to attack i think the fact that the uranium is we're able to shoot down one of the most advanced aircraft out of the us air force has been very humiliating for the image of the u.s. military as well as for donald trump himself who likes to project an image of a strong arm leader and i think donald trump is trying to rebuild that image essentially by saying that you know we give him the reins very hard but we decided not to do so because of so-called humanitarian reasons in reality i think that

trumpet ministration understands that any such strikes would be actually responded by the rain as well in this would be essentially into a war. leading iranian national security official carney told us that the country's never attacked the one that is ready to repel any u.s. strike. all have rules. you can find out trump statements always different for example statements from yesterday and today he also contradicts white house officials such a political matter is devoid of logic and common sense but we do not take seriously his threats and contradictory statements but in the end it must be noted that the islamic republic of iran is not iraq or afghanistan we are a big state and have strong popular support both during the present but also past hardships the islamic republic has been standing firm and never attacked anyone and will not do that if we are attacked me the aggressor well regret it at the same

time we strive for peace and security in our region that is what the policy of sanctions and the economic war launched by trump against the iranian people will not yield any results this is a hostile policy that will be defeated as a result. of strong ups the stakes with tehran the pentagon document shows it believes a nuclear war is winnable and could be a good thing tell you more about that later this hour. the devoted his band russian airlines from flying russian citizens to georgia from july 8th it comes after huge rallies against russia and the georgian government in the capital tbilisi 240 people have been injured including 80 police officers which is interior ministry labeled the unrest there massive reported over 300 people detained you may find the coming footage disturbing. i was i.

i was was i think. i. was not going to got dog or the situation got very heated there was a brisk light and then the crowd geared up for another storm stone sticks and bottles were thrown from the side of the crowd to miss russian forces fired rubber bullets into me for tear gas. which protests erupted after a russian m.p. addressed a pall of interest some give lawmakers from orthodox christian countries the fact

that he sat in the georgian speaker's chair further rang at the opposition the protests come amid ongoing tensions between russia and georgia a decade after the conflict in south the setia. as dawn broke on friday police appeared to be in full control of the city center the opposition has announced a new round of protests on friday night thursday saw an attempt to storm the parliament building 35000 demonstrators rallied against the participation of a russian delegation in a parliamentary assembly. is approved of the demonstrators to refrain from breaking the. georgian president is blaming russia for the situation saying the protests only benefit the kremlin she's now cut short a visit to bill or to return home. meanwhile can then the actions of georgian officials during the protests in a statement the russian foreign ministry accuse them of using the protest to so anti russian sentiment the speaker of the georgian parliament has resigned in the

wake of the demonstrations protesters are now demanding that the interior minister quit as well he says that he is ready to do so if needed but called on the protests to stop the former acting president of georgia you know burjanadze told us that the government had to police has been fermenting anti russian sentiment. they're rushing toward generalisations are really very difficult and sensitive for us aside and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m.p. in the chair of door again speaker is this something which is just creating a problem what stability of the country or something which is there just touching independence and sovereignty of that country and it was easy to predict from the side of the government. absolutely unbelievable how i'm competent is the government and it's absolutely sure of clear for me the government did nothing for you problem into operation georgian relations during the last few years

so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction 2 of political parties. themselves as a pro western and right now to us and they seem. to say sincere pretty nice a people in their political goals and to just strengthen the russian really exists in a serious part of the georgian population back to only one would be blamed for the recent shouldn't be absent and would be irresponsible this is government and stability of this government. 17 year old scottish student claims he was kicked out of class after saying there are only 2 gender specific with the film the teacher telling him off. i think it's silly to have anything other than 2 generations that ok anything he's busy commercial these keep

that opinion to your own house thank you not until you get to europe and you know the cost and why what i say i have not my money and house a stance i know of which in my opinion and not getting my it being you know that i am stating what is a national school of thought of a policy was one scientific whatsoever. not every policy is scientific so you know what you think and i know what i thought of the things i know what the authorities point if you want to say anything clear very clear that you make no discrimination on the grounds of video i was making discrimination i'm simply saying there are 2 genders male and female and if i also as a personal identification local authorities say the video does not show the full context of the exchange of a danger council that it wants good relations between different groups and schools and an inclusive environment for all who discuss the issue with human rights activist peter tatchell and political commentator andre walker. i think from what

we've seen obviously the people was was fairly challenging but i think it's within the bounds of reasonable debate and i think the teachers are actually quite stern and dismissive and maybe there is more to the exchange than was in the video but i think it's healthy and rights that peoples and teachers should have a robust exchange of views well i think peter set the tone for the debate by being quite measured and reasoned on the wider point what they don't accept of all is when we start pretending that somebody with male genitalia is in fact a woman i think the teacher was wrong to throw the boy out of the class and i think the boy was wrong to video the exchange however it is a fact that there are basically 2 genders are these morally wrong that anybody who says that should have any trouble from any public call for it say in the united kingdom or elsewhere where there are 2 genders male and female but there are people

who have variations of both server example intersex people have a combination of both male and female chromosomes hormones and genitalia so it isn't strictly true that there are only male and female i'm not concerned about the science of brain gender or anything like that i simply say if you wish to transition from a man to a woman you own your body you have the right to do it but actually there is an issue of rights here if the teacher is right then what do you suggest to gays that the policy of the council is that you cannot say that there are only 2 genders and if you say that that is something that should be confined to the home absolutely this is a free speech issue peoples have a right to free speech that people will you agree with him or not has a right to freedom of expression and that what he's the right he was exercising in that school class should be a place where ideas are expressed with their. challenge where they're refuted

critiqued supported amplified that's what a good school is a good school as a place where ideas are contested. european commission leaders of to agree on who will take up the reins of the blocks top posts for june 30th has now been announced in another attempt to break the deadlock the commission president council president and for other top jobs were meant to been chosen by now auntie's peter oliver has more. well this deadlock in the european union over who will fail a number of the e.u. institutions top jobs including the european commission president and president of the european council those jobs currently held by john claude younker and donald the moment and they've been heading up talks to try and pick their replacements essentially however those talks have broken down one of the reasons that we're hearing that there's no solution so far wealth comes from leo varadkar the irish

prime minister he said that it was easy of picking a pope than using the system that's used in the e.u. to pick a commission president as well as other top institution posts it's called the spits and counted method method or system basically preferred hamlet in germany is what it is it means that if you look at all of the different parliamentary groups in the european parliament whoever gets the most seats well they're just bits and candidates their preferred candidate gets looked at 1st by the e.u. heads of government. if they like that candidate well they put them forward to majority votes for them they put them forward to the european parliament parliament then votes on them and if they vote them through they become the next european commission president if they don't the whole system starts right over again with whoever came in 2nd as we understand it well so far the heads of government weren't

that impressed with munford verba who is the candidate from the p.p. who got the most seats in the most recent european elections and also they weren't that keen on france timmons from the socialists the european socialist group who got the 2nd highest amount of seats in the parliament so we really are all up in the air at the moment we are looking at a split though between keep power brokers inside the e.u. over this money we're mccaughan in france he's not a fan at all of disputes and condit methods well and on the other side. merkel the german chancellor who wants to essentially see her man put into play as the next european commission president now money with on what he's been while he's been speaking out against the system that's in play at the moment he's also said the hot angela merkel throwing her hat into the ring he would have been inclined to vote for her have nothing against a german candidacy i said it and wasn't a joke had the chancellor been a candidate i would have supported her because i think she has the qualities the

skills to be a very good president of the commission it is not what she wants i respect that very deeply well i'm glad merkel has dismissed 80 chance of her running to be the european commission president she was speaking on friday she also tried to calm down rumors that baena a serious rift between bolin and paris over who should get the european commission top job. and i still say no and i want to add that i'm a little bit sad that my words which i've said so often and i parent lee not respected at all were respect each other i do not want to make a decision against france and i believe that france doesn't want to make a decision against germany of the very latest it does seem that money isn't getting the amount of votes it needs from heads of government to be put forward as the next president of the european commission that hasn't stopped the german chancellor though for saying that she still bucks her mom in repeat what i said and to avoid

any unnecessary questions we stand by our lead candidate the p.p. candidate manfred weber others stand by their lead candidate obviously those are quite tired looking young who addressed the press after this meeting broke down he's searching for his own replacement however he did allow a joke his own expense. i noted with satisfaction mused and yes pleasure that it seems is not easy. to replacement. so with no decision from the heads of government of the states over who they want to see appointed as the next european commission president they're all going to have to come back again next week on the 30th of june for another round of talks in the go see asians to try and hammer out a solution. the u.s. congresswoman has received a firestorm of criticism comparing detention centers for undocumented immigrants on

the mexican border to nazi concentration camps but alexander cassio cortez is refusing to back down. the united states is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are they are concentration camps people across the u.s. political spectrum slum to comparison by castle cortez often referred to by her initials a c of course remembers groups say she needs to educate herself on the issue of poly champagne vitae the congresswoman to his country to see real concentration camps. informally inviting alexandria castro cortez to come to parliament where i don't hitler set up the worst chain of concentration camps the world has ever seen so that she may see the scoring political points with inflamed rhetoric is unacceptable in our contemporary western societies and to take something that happened in history where millions of jews have died and equated to

something that's happening on the border she owes this nation an apology a o c concentration camps assured slave labor supply to help in the nazi war effort even as to protect the of the life inside the camps have to assure the ultimate goal of extermination through labor learn about concentration camps. a you see do us all a favor and spend just a few minutes learning some actual history 6000000 jews were exterminated in the holocaust you demean their memory and disgrace yourself with comments like this nazi and hitler comparisons are become a common argument in us political discourse. it is estimated that 6000000 jewish people were murdered in german concentration camps during world war 2 by comparison more than 50000000 babies have been aborted in the

united states since 973. i'd like to see the president and the congress invest tens of billions in ruble energy i would point to the fact that it took roosevelt many many years to get america willing to go into world war 2 and fight the nazis or we have an enemy though different but perhaps very much devastation in a similar way. even as a carbon dioxide it's just like that beam and it's a friend of the poor jews under hitler government is not actually a benefit to the world and so we're the true. donald trump you are the president and all citizens of this country you must not inflame the hatred that the violent expanse of others we've seen subjected to

persecution. look at the ortez. when she said concentration and she knew that everybody would be thinking about it she knew what what she was saying how explosive. it is but she's an attention seeker. she knows how to play the media and she knew perfectly well that when she brought up the topic of concentration camps she would be on television everyone would be talking about a c.n.n. interview that. was even more. really. nicholas then that cortez's the original comment because that featured angela rye who was a african american political activist and turning in which she had explicitly said or we have concentration camps and then we're going to have the

death camps holocaust is just something you use as a root a rhetorical trick in order to try to beat people in a political argument. the u.s. military claims the use of nuclear weapons could create decisive results and still strategic stability comes from a document recently made public but then classified multi-stemmed quarter picks up the story. bombers submarines and ballistic missiles the pentagon's triad of nuclear warfare usually atomic weapons are considered a means of deterrence but now classified documents suggest the war hawks in washington may have other ideas using nuclear weapons could create conditions for decisive results and the restoration of strategic stability specifically the use of a nuclear weapon will fundamentally change the scope of a battle and create conditions that affect how commanders will prevail in conflict the 60 page document came out in early june only to be classified

a week later by the pentagon it's a surprise it wasn't a secret to begin with the fundamental principles underpinning washington's nuclear operations are laid out for the world to see and they don't exactly correspond to some of president donald trump's past talk of nonproliferation between russia and china and does. busy make the. hundreds of billions of dollars worth busy of weapons including nuclear which is ridiculous i think with that leader i think we're always going to be the leader we have to be the leader i think it's much better if we all got together and we didn't make these weapons so i think that's something that could be a phase 2 after this is done but then again trump himself hasn't been very consistent on nuclear posture either he called for talks with both the presidents of russia and china just last year to put an end to a so-called uncontrollable arms race several months later trump accused russia of developing missiles prohibited by the 1907 i.n.f.

treaty although moscow denied violating the agreement signed to specifically prevent an arms race the u.s. withdrew the united states will therefore suspend its obligations under the n f treaty effective february 2nd and it's no secret the pentagon's long been on the anti russia bandwagon in 2018 its nuclear posture review accused russia of producing more non-strategic and i n f banned weapons. but a recent article by the american federation of scientists about d.o.d. exaggerations pointed out something interesting that the nuclear posture review contradicts itself their own statistics indicate that russia had between 3 and 5000 nukes in 200-922-4000 in 20112000 are less than 2018 exaggerating the threat from russia only justify spending more money on weapons that can annihilate humanity and with the risk of nuclear war at a tie if since world war 2 there's no time for war games the seeming double

standard is to present trump as someone who is reluctant to go to war the document i believe was a message unit was in fear not only to probe the current belligerent rhetoric oh the troubled ministration but as well to buttress his foreign policy which is aggressive aggressive in south america aggressive in the middle east aggressive in. asia. it could do an embassy in london spied on wiki leaks founder julian assange after lennon marino became president that's according to police recordings of alleged extortionists who tried to get money from his own g.'s team by threatening to release the material the group consisted of a spanish reporter 2 computer experts that information hole included video and audio recordings his medical reports and even legal documents. sanchez lawyer asked

up and so to have been accepted it's what we really need so all that will be just the sort of the very damaging with or by the special report on for 2 of the united nations which forms these at least condemnation of for the role of the united states you know the kingdom sweden and ecuador and basically making life as a. catholic that with a base for you it hoff analyse it. seemed wrong. at all we're all just all. i mean all you have to say

pal just be active. and engaged with equals trail. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . hello and welcome to cross talk were all things considered i'm peter lavelle describing the trump administration's iran policy is confusing contradictory and even incoherent.
