ringback was that it was. the. us president donald trump says he called also a strike on iran at the last moment after he found out the number of possible casualties. and the government protests continuing in georgia due to anger at the visit of a russian m.p. while bottom appears in pounds russian airlines from flying to the country in response. to a scottish student claims he was kicked out of class after saying there are only 2 genders he secretly filmed the teacher telling him all. what you think and i knew the start of the thanks for your point if you want to share the clear very clear that discrimination on the grounds it's really if you can discrimination action

pushing the. male female. a very warm welcome to you you're watching r t international with me nicky airing our top story donald trump says he called off a strike on iran with just 10 minutes to go it comes amid escalating tensions between washington and 2 wrong. 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 estimate 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 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 and i did states maintains however that the drone was in international waters and was unprovoked attack 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 they made a very bad mistake. ok i mean really i mean if 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 trump administration has taken office the neighbors the body everywhere we go in the middle east it's a real. major destabilizing in influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos the leaders of iran are 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 that 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. thanks be to god that he did it they would for more than $150.00 people killed and although we all as advise. pompei oh jeana asphalt the torturer in chief bolton they're all constantly calling for the u.s. to attack iran he didn't do it so i would say that's a very good sign maybe he's harking back to his campaign promises of peace and nonintervention so let's hope that president trump acts like a man of peace that's what he needs a fact to be reelected i think probably the argument that if we went to war against

iran he would end his presidency and he would not be reelected so i think that maybe had a fact on him it certainly should have had an effect we need to have the man who ran for office not the guy who surrounded himself with neo cons and warmongers. leading iranian national security official carney told us the country is ready to repel any u.s. strike or have rules. you can find our troops statements always different for example statements from yesterday and today he also contradicts white house officials such political matter is devoid of logic and common sense 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 pas townships the islamic republic has been standing firm and never attacked anyone and

will not do that if we are attacked the aggressor will regret it at the same time we strive for peace and security in our region the policy of sanctions and the economic war against the iranian people will not yield any results this is a hostile policy that will be defeated as a result of trumped up the stakes with tehran a pentagon document says it believes a nuclear war is winnable as could be a good thing was on that. georgia has seen the 2nd day of large scale rallies against russia and the georgian government the demonstrations broke out on friday evening in the in the capital tbilisi in the meantime of love and fears in his band russian airlines from flying to georgia starting from july 8th here's our correspondent live garcia with more. well the the protests today much smaller scale than they were yesterday yes there were thousands and thousands of very angry demonstrators clashing with police

during the parliament today it's much smaller scale that rage seems to have been spent going out of got out of the crowds but there are still crowds about it's much more peaceful new writing nevertheless we've had a lot of reaction today coming in from the georgian president who are blamed russia for stooping these anti russian protests which might seem like a very strange thing to do for russia to sort of begin and spot. the russian protests nevertheless the kremlin has condemned the actions of georgian officials saying that they are using this situation to sow and see russian sentiment and they're trying to trying to sort of blame russia for the whole thing in get responsibility of their own shoulders. and into parliamentary assembly an orthodoxy a christian gathering intended to build relations between orthodox nations

journeying that session russian parliamentarian was there in georgia and to deliver his opening address he he sat in the speaker's seat in the parliamentary speaker seat and that angered many georgians and they they came out in crowds 1st and then riot started we had $240.00 people injured 80 police officers rubber bullets fired tear gas water cannons and it really was. think.

of the police took full control of the situation by dawn on friday committed 5000 protesters took part in the in the really as i said vicious demonstrations but georgian authorities. called out the people to refrain from bread breaking the law to behave themselves in a civil manner and it's got to be said you know 11 years now after the conflict in the south a sense here between russia between georgia there is an underlying sort of anti russian sentiment in georgia. a 17 year old scottish student claims he was kicked out of class after saying there were only 2 genders he secretly filmed

the teacher telling him off. well i think it's silly to have anything other than to join a ship that anything he says is a church at least keep that opinion to your own house thank you not until you get to europe and you know the cost and like i said i have not my new house to stand so i know which in my opinion and not putting my opinion and i am stating what is national school of thought of policy. was not scientific whatsoever. not every policy is scientific so you know what you think and i know what that authority thinks i know what the authorities point if you want to say it is a clear very clear that we make no discrimination on the grounds of videos i can 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 council odds that it wants good relations between different groups and schools and an inclusive environment for all we discuss the issue with human

rights activist peter tatchell political commentator will. 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 again is 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 pupil whether you agree with him or not has a right to freedom of expression and that were his that'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 have failed to agree on hold take up the reins of the blocs top post a summit for june 30th has now been announced in another attempt to break the deadlock the commission president's council president and 4 other top jobs were meant to have been chosen by now artie's peace all of the hundreds 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 at 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 easier 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 speech and candidate method method or system basically preferred candidate 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 there spits in candidate 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 timmermans 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 the power brokers inside the e.u. over this money we're mccaughan in france he's not a fan at all of disputes in condit method 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. what he's being while he's been speaking out against the system that's in play at the moment he's also you said the hot angler merkel throwing her hat into the ring it 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 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 apparently 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 meets 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 other 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 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 ca sions to try and hammer out a solution and then both the us congress is facing

a backlash after comparing detention centers on the mexican border to nazi concentration camps more on this sound of the news off to the shop. you know world of big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad 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.

would call me manufacture consent to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round me the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. welcome back the u.s. congresswoman has received a firestorm of criticism after comparing detention centers for undocumented immigrants on the mexican border to nazi concentration camps but alexandria cacio corps says 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 of people across the u.s. political spectrum flowers that comparison by a cause of course has often referred to by her initials a o.c. a holocaust remembrance group say she needs to educate herself on the issue on polish m.p. invited the congresswoman to his country to see a real concentration camps informally inviting alexandria casso cortez to come to poland where i don't hitler set up the worst chain of concentration camps the world has ever see 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.s.c. concentration camps assured slave labor supply to help in the nazi war effort even

as to protect the life inside the camps have to assure the ultimate goal of extermination through labor learn about concentration camps a u.c. 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. not thing and hitler comparisons have 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 new level

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 devastating in a similar way. even as ation of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor jews under hitler government is actually a benefit to the world and for the jews. donald trump you are the president of all citizens of this country you must not inflame the hatred of some at the violent expense of others we've seen jews subjected to persecution. look at the ortez. when she said concentration camps she knew that everybody would be thinking about it i she knew

were 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 the c.n.n. interview. retreated was even more. ridiculous than the cortez's original comment because that featured. a wry who was a african american political activist and what name in which it explicitly said or we have concentration camps and then we're going to have the death camps or a holocaust is just something you use as a rip a rhetorical trick in order to try to beat people in

a political argument. u.s. military claims the use of nuclear weapons could create decisive results and restore strategic stability it comes from a document recently made public but was then classified artie's donald quarter picks up a 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 the us were busy making. hundreds of millions of dollars worth 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 1987 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 its highest since world war 2 there's no time for war games seeming double standard is to present trump as someone who is reluctant to go to war. i believe it was

a message you know fear not only to probe the current belligerent rhetoric of the troubled ministration but as well to buttress his foreign policy which is aggressive aggressive. in south america in the middle east aggressive and. thanks for joining us on a c international went back instead to 30 minutes for the latest headlines of steam. join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you than. just been 5 minutes with your worst enemy who will fund something but if you spend 2 minutes going 10 minutes before i'm even more so if you nurture those commonalities you of forging a relationship if you nurture the relationship you are then food for your friend for. good food descriptions sound up to tasing even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets is really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes

and arthritis and they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. but. also committed.

hello and welcome to cross talk were all things considered peter lavelle describing the trump administration's iran policy is confusing contradictory and even incoherent would be an understatement as members of his administration beat the drums of war the president suddenly inject themselves into the conversation with words to the contrary. the world think.
