oh oh oh oh. in the stories that shaped the week u.s. president donald trump says he canceled an air strike on iran because he didn't want to kill anybody unless it's absolutely necessary. on the radio. i don't want to kill him. for everybody. let that leaders. must spend as well as opposition party is accused of spending humanitarian aid on lavish hotels drugs and prostitutes. and for hours that's how long president clinton spent answering questions from the public for the annual q. and a session covered key domestic and world issues.

this is the weekly here on our team welcome to our roundup of the headlines that shape the week. yes president called off a strike on iran just 10 minutes before it was due to be launched he said said he's neither a warmonger nor doff but i man with common sense and he doesn't want to kill anybody unless it's absolutely necessary. one thing i want to go i don't want to do it accurately as accurately as possible how many people will die i don't want to kill him on the radio i understand. french radio many friends i don't want to kill 100 this year betty ford everybody. looks exactly. the canceled attack was meant to be in retaliation for tehran's downing of a u.s. military surveillance drone over the gulf region strait of hormuz iran said it was ready to add to its collection of down draw. if washington violates its airspace.

and has more. in terms of words he seems to have indicated it could have been a human error he pointed out that it could have been a general or some other official who made the mistake of ordering for the drone to be shot down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid now iran has said that the drone did indeed enter their airspace and violate their territory and that they intend to go to the united nations in order to prove this they say that it was in the southern part of their country that this drone entered their airspace and that they shot it down for violating their airspace at this point we've got the iranian foreign minister condemning the united states for what he calls economic terrorism the us wages economic terrorism on iran has conducted covert action against those and now encroaches on our territory we don't seek war but was jealous lead to fend off sky land and waters will take this new aggression

to the u.n. and show you that the u.s. is lying about international waters now the u.n. secretary general antonio gets here as is calling on all parties to remain calm and exercise restraint i strongly hope that. the situation will be contained because as i said and i repeat the world does not really needs any measure confrontation in the russian president vladimir putin recently said that an attack on iran would be potentially disastrous which i'd like to say straight away that a military conflict between the u.s. and iran would be a disaster at least for the region it would be an outburst of violence with terrible consequences it's very hard to predict what would happen in the case of military force being used now many observers have noted that it seems that the white house is powerless in toward iran has been rather consistent this is how the united states has approached iran during the trumpet ministration threat their neighbors are spread instability or terror. everywhere we go in the middle east

it's a rare rare rare and major destabilizing influence in the middle east spread death destruction and we've been trying. to get. like a global issue. now the united states recently sent a 1000 new troops to the middle east region in response to a supposed threat from the islamic republic of iran now on june 13th when 2 oil tankers were attacked the united states blamed iran for the incident however iranian officials were shocked at those accusations outright and said that it was actually their ships that were on the scene to rescue the sailors who had been hurt and take them for medical assistance so at this point all eyes are on the middle east region all eyes are on the u.n. where international bodies will be hearing and taking up this issue and all eyes are on washington as a response from the united states could be very possible. artsy new york. as the blame game washington is tightening the economic screws on tehran with new

sanctions to hit the islamic republic on monday kill people in new york if they would support a war against iraq. can you imagine a situation where it would be you would be in support of a war with iran. it was the last one was another war and then another war then another you know one thing is other ways. to solve. things open assassinations and 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 through many wars

a lot of people have died and doesn't seem to make the issues go with. iran is having violence against the horrors i think the country maybe can resolve his own issues with other countries' interference now can say is i hope nobody gets hurt i hope for world peace. senior iranian national security official says while tired tehran has never attacked anyone it is ready to retaliate. 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 political memories 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 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 a policy of sanctions and the economic war against the iranian people will not yield any results this is a hostile policy it will be defeated as a result. members of the venezuelan opposition have been implicated in a corruption scandal think documents appear to reveal that officials from one guy does movement have been embezzling aid funds for personal use the money was intended for soldiers who defected and fled to neighboring colombia. humanitarian aid it is more a humanitarian robbery that all the money from the famous humanitarian aid fund was stolen of take note washington not only are the opposition the liars but they are the $2000.00 from each other there are thousands of dollars from an aid concert on

the colombian border were apparently spent on hotels prostitutes and luxury goods by 2 members of the white house party they were in charge of overseeing the humanitarian aid garcia reports. sex drugs and rock'n'roll aren't something you'd associate with a humanitarian aid concert wrongly it seems colombian authorities themselves a shocked and barris that what they've uncovered and to think it all began so innocently we need to try to help those who are not getting medical help help those who are hungry and today hopefully on the back of this concert we can start maybe getting supplies into them to sway those so that people are not suffering so much back then the freshly self-proclaimed president of venezuela called in the military to defect join him and top all the corrupt regime and we gladly armed

forces welcome to the right side of history welcome to the show you are today following the constitution oh it up welcome hundreds of soldiers did defect some with families some of the small children they skeptical on beer they were put in hotels and by mid march it were living in the streets we are desperate we do not want to stay in colombia we want to return to venezuela but not in the current living conditions we do not know. how could this happen out of the 7 hotels that the soldiers were staying in all but 2 were being paid for by the un and the colombian government to hotels is all who and why do those representatives had to pay for except they didn't according to the journalists who broke this story why and why do all of this a month ago. we couldn't allow for any bad managing of money to overshadow what has

been a big effort on the part of all venezuelans that's why as soon as we had the information about the ongoing investigation we decided to send it straight to every impartial authority the people who did this bear in mind were appointed by why do personally and he only chose to speak with the story already public knowledge saying transparent investigation is needed also amazingly managing to somehow imply that the venezuelan government does involve culpable complicit and that guy duo doesn't cover up corruption which he kept covered up for at least a month obviously the actual venezuelan government has questions. it's a huge drop in corruption. that we could use. instead of being spent in play when you have this and it has been used to play throughout the whole prostitutes

expensive shopping trips and luxury hotels as do those allies why is his party which promises to cleanse venezuela of corruption and exercise the demons of the old regime why are these people blowing tens of thousands of dollars in aid money on prostitutes drugs and booze the live $8.00 concert that richard branson lead among others in the u.s. pro attempt of february 22nd 23rd is a complete failure of plan why those forces inside of venice well and columbia have been using the money to enrich themselves for luxury in 5 star hotels and therefore they're really showing what they're about it's about power for personal enrichment the corruption scandal is just one small part of what the u.s.

is engaging in in this enormous assault a genocidal assault against the people of venice well it's hundreds of millions it's chance of billions of dollars that the u.s. is stealing in the name of one way though stealing money from the venezuelan people . the president of georgia is urging russians to continue visiting her country insisting it's safe for tourists and foreign journalists that's after moscow temporarily banned direct flights to and from georgia russia's foreign ministry alleges that georgia's radical opposition is exploiting the visit of a russian delegation to mount protests $240.00 people have been injured in the demonstrations including a.b. police officers and a producer at r.t. is roughly video agency.

just woke up going to call dog the situation got very heated they were suppressed by you and then the crowd kid out for another storm stone sticks and bottles were thrown from the side of the crowd to miss russian forces fired rubber bullets into mccloy the tear gas. protests erupted after russian m.p.'s heard a governor of sat in the chair of the georgian parliament speaker this happened during the opening session of a multilateral pola mentally assembly meant to promote orthodox christianity the georgian opposition prevented people from taking to the podium afterwards we talked to governor of who told us radicals are attempting to disrupt already complicated russian georgia relations. but when you only see it as a president of the assembly i have the right to take this seat in any country where

the assembly session is held in this case the place was offered by the georgian side the session was invaded by radicals who shouted threats to our lawyers we tried to continue but more radical activists showed up with cameras and posters with anti russian and insulting slogans we decided to finish the session in the hotel nearby radicals tried to storm the hotel they attacked members of parliament including me when we tried to leave i believe all of this is the racist styria in the wake of protests to take power as the. earlier the georgian president blamed the russian official for what happened saying the protests benefit nobody but the kremlin she cut short a visit to belarus to return home to the anti-government demonstrations and the kremlin responded to the accusations or worse the phobic provocation that's how moscow described the 2 days of large scale rallies in the georgian capital protesters are now demanding that the government resign and another rally is expected on sunday we spoke to the former acting president of georgia you know burjanadze she believes the government has been fermenting anti russian sentiment.

the russian georgian relations are really very difficult and sensitive issue for us aside and most of the population now receive the same message the russian m.p. in the chair of the idea and speaker is that 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 but it's absolutely unbelievable how i'm competent is the government and it's absolutely sure for clear for me that 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 calling them themselves as a pro western and that right now 2 years they seem. to say sincere pretty nice

a people in their political goals and 2 are just strengths in these 2 russian really exists in a serious part of the georgian population to all you want the girl could be blamed for the east and all should be absent and what will be a responsible place this is a government and stupidity of this government. coming up in the weekly the u.k.'s arms sales to saudi arabia will come under review after an appeals court sides with peace campaigners against the government that story and more and a few moments. when i often say like you get if you're into cars we should not forget if you could interest to transport the cars to boost news to mean of transport now if you could

that. no what we do is actually very very tiny today so the biggest expansion for us all to the next year but in the next 510 years is how do we build a better product more safety maybe a better economy contract between the best of the driver to convince more drivers to show they called passengers for symptoms. my objection to banks it is not that i like the e.u. but it without the mollifying influence of the e.u. the brits are going to be exposed face on head on to people like boris johnson and jacob smog who are who are certifiably and.

welcome back british arms sales to saudi arabia could be on the line after peace campaigners won a legal challenge over the potential use of the weapons in yemen they claim the lucrative contracts breach international law and contribute to what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis british appeal court judges are now demanding a review here's what the opponents of the arms sales to the kingdom had to say right after the verdict. this goes to the very top because they have to talk that we now need a judicial review in the whole system has been shown to be totally broke we now need a public inquiry on this back to the government should not waste time in appealing this judgment the government should fix our system this has been a brutal call damnation of u.k. foreign policy business been a very strong judgment against it we want to see action from the government the court has done its job it's time for the government to do its job the decisions

that took. in relation to existing licenses and the decisions it took to continue to ground licenses those decisions are little and they have to go back and reconsider the court's decision might affect the u.k.'s largest defense contractor big systems as rad represents a significant part of the group's business since the saudi led bombardment began back in 2015 the u.k. has licensed 4700000000 pounds worth of weapons britain is the 2nd biggest exporter of arms to the saudis and it's the u.k.'s largest military export contract you know with no end in sight to the conflict yemen is on the brink of collapse a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing.

since the beginning of the operation the saudi government has been insisting it's fighting the who the rebels only without targeting civilians meanwhile in the face of strong criticism at home conservative party ministers have been at pains to stress that it's not the u.k. which chooses the targets in yemen a former british politician we spoke to says a general election could be a game changer. at a time when most of british attention is focused inevitably on bragg's it it's really important that we do look at 2 the issues such as sales and in particular in this special case because so many people are losing their lives in yemen and really it's a difficult situation that has to be resolved and it's significant that all of the opposition parties not trust the labor party but also the liberal democrats and the

scottish nationalists and other smaller parties have agreed really that this is not something that britain ought to be supporting it's really only the conservatives who have taken this line of strong support for sales to saudi arabia and so they're probably will need to be a general election for that to change and that he's more likely to succeed perhaps than the legal challenge. the russian president's annual q. and a session received more than 2000000 questions from the public library put in spent some 4 hours on thursday answering more than 80 questions on various subjects including international issues you can watch the session in for online but here are some of the key points. it's better if the american side shows interest and we are always ready for dialogue or what we see what is happening in us domestic politics the president will always look back on the race he's in right

now some in the american establishment are speculating about our country's relationship with trying to find problems and telling lies if you. will be sure we're going to use if we want to mayors alinsky went to paris and said he would not talk to the separatists representatives of these unrecognized republic was how will they resolve this issue but modern history doesn't provide a single example of a conflict which was resolved without direct dialogue between the sides we need political will from kiev. and we do everything we've seen presented as evidence that russia is responsible for everything doesn't suit us we think it is insufficient evidence it doesn't say anything we've presented our version of events but unfortunately no one wants to hear it until there is a proper dialogue here we won't find any answers to the questions about the plane

crash and the deaths of the people on board which remain open it this is a tragedy and we mourn its victims such tragedies are unacceptable to. us. and now to some world news in brief ethiopia's government says it has successfully prevented a coup after gunfights in which a number of senior officials were killed the country's president appeared on t.v. and combat dressed to make the announcement it time to see if our by force was allegedly led by a high ranking general or regional head and his advisors were shot dead and their office says while the army's chief of staff was reportedly killed in his house. to the czech republic now we're crowds of protesters are demanding the resignation of a billionaire. prime minister under the barbus a politician is accused of a criminal fraud case involving funds the opposition has been fueled by the appointment of a new justice minister at a time when prosecutors have to decide whether to indict perhaps or not previously
