i i. was. the stories that shaped the week u.s. president trump says he canceled an strike on iran because he doesn't want to kill anybody unless it's absolutely necessary. i don't want to. i don't want to kill. everybody. is out.

front as well as opposition parties accused of spending humanitarian aid on lavish hotels drugs and prostitutes. and for our president to suspend to answering questions from the public he's on your next session covered key domestic will be issues. welcome me watching the weekly here on the. u.s. president called off a strike on iran just 10 minutes before it was due to be launched. a warmonger nor a dove but a man with common sense and he doesn't want to kill anybody quote unless it's absolutely necessary. one thing i want to know what i want to know it accurately as accurately as possible how many people will die i don't want to kill on the radio

and i understand that i have friends that are already and many friends i don't want to kill 150 of anything or anybody. unless it's absolutely necessary. the council's tight was meant to be in retaliation for tehran's downing of a u.s. military stone over the gulf region strait of hormuz and around said it was ready to add to its collection of downed drones if washington violates its space it had more been explained. 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 our iran is 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 u.s. 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 need any measure of confrontation in the russian president vladimir putin recently said that an attack on iran would be potentially disastrous which i'd like to see 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 of. servers have noted that it seems that the white house's policy toward iran has been rather consistent this is how the united states has approached iran during the trumpet ministration their neighbors are spread instability or terror everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare honor rand's major destabilizing influence in the middle east spread death destruction and chaos we've been trying to do is to get the un to behave like globalisation. 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 rejected those accusations outright and said that it was actually their ships that were on 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. art see new york. as the blame game washington's tight unique a moment screws on tehran with new sanctions that. have us people in new york if they would support a war against iran. can you imagine a situation where it would be you would be in support of a war with iran. it was the last of the one was another war and then another war then another you know things other ways. to solve problems and go about 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 to many wars a lot of people have died and doesn't seem to make the issues go away a less iran is having violence against the whole or that i think the country maybe can resolve his own issues with other countries interference al can say is i hope nobody gets hurt i hope for world peace. senior iranian national security official allison carney says that while tehran has never attacked anybody it is ready to retaliate. 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 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 but if we are attacked the aggressor will regret it at the same time we strive for peace and security in our region that is 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 the venezuelan opposition have been implicated in a corruption scandal the documents appear to reveal officials from wango those

movement to been embezzling aid funds for personal use the money was intended for soldiers who defected and fled to neighboring colombia argue the money. 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 liars but they are thieves too who stole thousands of dollars from each other for. thousands of dollars from an aid concert on the colombia border were apparently spent on hotels prostitutes and look to members of those party they were in charge of overseeing the humanitarian aid. 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 barrister to 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 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 of the corrupt regime. we gladly armed forces welcome to the right side of history welcome to the soldiers who are today following the constitution welcome hundreds of soldiers did defect some with families some of the small children they scared to colombia 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 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 which 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 dorothy. the people who did this bear in mind were appointed by 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. this huge drug corruption poor to divert money that we could use fall sick children instead of being spent include a medicine that has been used to pay for alcohol prostitutes expensive shopping trips and luxury hotels as do those allies wise his party which promises to cleanse venezuela of corruption and exercise the demons of the old regime why these people are blowing tens of thousands of dollars in aid money on prostitutes drugs and booze and live a concert that richard branson blair along with others in the u.s.

pro champion of february 22nd 23rd is a complete failure don't force it inside of bennett and columbia have been using the money to enrich themselves for luxury staying in a 5 star hotel 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 this 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 venice well people. the president of georgia resurging rushes to continue visiting a country with tbilisi insisting it's safe for tourists and foreign journalists

this is after moscow temporarily banned direct flights to and from georgia russia's foreign ministry alleges 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 8 police officers and a producer at auntie's broccoli agency. was. i. was. just not going to got dog what 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 ground to my special forces fired rubber

bullets into majority gas. protests erupted after russian m.p.c. get every last sat in the chair of the georgian parliament speaker it happened during the opening session of a multilateral parliamentary assembly meant to promote orthodox christianity georgian opposition prevented people from taking to the podium afterwards we spoke to governor who told us radicals are attempting to disrupt already complicated russian georgia relations. but 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 lives we tried to continue but more radical activist 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. that early the georgian president blamed the russian

official for what happened saying the protests benefit nobody but the crime that she could short a visit to bill or used to return home due to end government demonstrations from them responded to the accusations they received phobic provocation and described the 2 days of large scale rallies in the georgian capital. protesters are now demanding the government resigned a new rallies being held right now in the country's capital so far it's been proceeding without incident he spoke to former acting president of georgia nino burjanadze who believes the government has been fermenting and brushes sentiment. the rushing toward generalizations 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 2 idea and speaker is this something which is just creating a problem what stability of the country or something which is there just touching

in the plan and sense of morality of the country and it was easy to predict from the side of the government had absolutely unbelievable how incompetent is the government and it's absolutely sure full nervously of for me that the government did nothing poorly implemented of crashing georgian relations during the last few years so there was no any kind of positive in this the direction the political parties who are calling them as well as themselves as the pro western and said right and right now 2 years of these are hard to say sincere paintings of people in their political goals and to you are just strengths in these 2 russian really exists in a serious part of the georgian population to only one of her girl could be blamed for the east and shouldn't be armstead and what will be a responsible place this is

a government and to be duty on this government. coming up a new case on cells to saudi arabia will come under review after an appeals court sides with the peace campaign is against the government story and more than a few bugs. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic developments only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk.

they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to. have to go right to the press this is what the before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the waters of my. friendship. the saudi arabia could be on long enough to peace campaign is one of the legal challenge over the potential use of the weapons in yemen they claim that lucrative contracts breach international law and contribute to what the u.n. calls the wills 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 after the verdict. this goes to the very top of the conservative party we now need a judicial review in the whole anxiety system parliament has been shown to be totally broke we now need a public inquiry on this matter the government should not waste time in appealing this judgment the government should fix our system this has been a brutal condemnation of u.k. foreign policy vis there's been a very strong judgement 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 license theft and make the decisions they took to continue to grant life and says those decisions are lawful and they have to go back and reconsider the court's decision might affect the u.k.'s largest defense contractor be a systems represents a significant part of the group's business since the saudi led bombardment began in 2015 the u.k.'s license 4700000000 pounds worth of weaponry britain is the 2nd

biggest exporter of arms to the saudis and it's the u.k.'s largest military export contract you know and inside the conflict yemen is on the brink of collapse you may find some of the following images disturbing. since the beginning of the operation the saudi government's been insisting it's fighting the rebels only without targeting civilians meanwhile in the face of strong criticism at home conservative party ministers have been at pains to stress quote 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 the issues such as arms 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 sales to saudi arabia and so they're probably will need to be a general election for that to change and that is 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 was in the region spent some 4 hours on thursday and see more than 80 questions on various subjects including international issues you can watch the full session online now 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 in the some of the american establishment or speculating about our country's relationship with trying to find problems and telling lies if we. were going to use if we. went to paris and said he would not talk to the separatists representatives of these unrecognized republics how will they resolve this issue but a modern history doesn't provide a single example of

a conflict which was resolved without direct dialogue between the sides we need political will. and we did it 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 you this is a tragedy and we mourn its victims through such tragedies are unacceptable to. the police to. some world news in brief now ethiopia's government says it successfully prevented a coup after gun fights in which a number of senior officials were killed the country's president appeared on t.v. dressed to make the announcement it's time to seize power by force was allegedly
