i. headlines an r.t. the u.s. plans to his iran with a new round of major sanctions later on monday we look though at how washington stance on iran seems to be pulling in different directions also the parents of critically ill palestinian infants taken from garza to better of it in israel are being denied access to their children exit it's much harder to obtain varietals and italy and the e.u. are at loggerheads over the country's mounting debts with deputy prime minister matthew cell beneath threatening to resign that is rome proposes a new kind of financial pawn and which brussels sees as a threat to the euro. oh

good morning just going 10 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now the u.s. is piling more pressure on iran with a new round of major sanctions to hit later on monday the escalation does come in response to iran's downing of a u.s. military surveillance drone which the public says violated its airspace but washington has expressed doubts over who's really to blame for the attack. we expect the president to announce an additional round of sanctions in response to iran's downing of an american unmanned vehicle the president also had doubts as to whether or not the downing of our unmanned aircraft was actually authorized at the highest levels so i can't speak about intelligence that the united states has with regard to that but you heard the president reflect open little might have been

a rogue literal we're not convinced that it was authorized at the highest levels of the downing of the trying to put a furious reaction from washington preparations to strike iran we're minutes away from being put into motion before we're done with trump intervened he later explained that he wasn't calling off the attack just perspiring it but he also says he doesn't want to kill anybody unless it's absolutely necessary when south asia goes you don of reports washington's messages regarding iran have been getting increasingly mixed. just do it to run a marathon or to start a war as good a motto as any now according to iran the so-called b team of instigators ran out of breath whispering in donald trump's ear obliterate iran into a beating it's just do it the b. team being advisor john bolton the emirates israel and saudi arabia a rare moment of unity between the latter bolton tried so hard apparently trump

said this i have to have some people have dubs and i have hawks you have some. john bolton is absolutely a hawk is up to him he'd take on the whole world at one time ok it was almost mission accomplished until the u.s. president decided otherwise at the last moment and saw all hawks turned against him there and the way that he announced it it shows weakness and it's not in our interests but what happens when our adversaries understand that he's never going to follow through with president trump was being urged by outside advisers not to carry out the strikes we don't know who they are or why he would share with them people not in the chain of command or in his defense circle incredibly classified information about a military strike on iran critics went as far as to accuse donald trump of changing his mind under the influence of tucker carlson a celebrity faux anchor now something fastings happily the very people in some

cases literally the same people who lured us into the iraq quagmire 16 years ago are demanding a new war this one with iran the president to his great credit appears to be skeptical of this very skeptical truly the media has never come closer to serving as the 4th branch of power even john bolton the mother of all hawks had to take trump's side saying that the president didn't just chicken out neither iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake you. as prudence and discretion for weakness our military is rebuilt new and ready to go if if we you know started out with the wrong decision to head the advisors saying to attack iran you know people would criticize and then if you cancels it then they'll criticize them for you know not.

showing resolve it's kind of assumed by a lot of people that the democrats are not the war party but it's not a party of peace and a lot of democrats want to show their toughness by saying you know we've got to stand up against iran and it could be just that as trump himself has been saying that he's neither a sinner or saint everybody was saying i'm a warmonger. and now they say. they got neither you want to know that i'm a man with common sense and that's what we need in this country's government says not starting a conflict with the world war 3 potential is good sense indeed he had when it comes to other statements on iran by trump and his servants alike well see for yourself we are prepared to talk to iran without preconditions right but iran needs to understand that we will never allow them to obtain a nuclear weapon so is it no preconditions or one precondition it's like telling

a kid they won't get candy until they eat their greens but then immediately giving them all the candy and it's not the only thing take this for instance what do you think message they're trying to send you with this i think they want to negotiate and now how about this donald trump who's taken the time and pleasure of tearing into the iran nuclear deal but now once in agreement over his own i don't care which what kind of a deal it can be separate or it could be total one on one talks the way it was or as i want to one talks you any ayatollah or you're going to resonate you can have nuclear weapons and if you want to tell. good otherwise you can live in a shattered economy for a long time to such a consistent inconsistency doesn't help understand what exactly washington wants from its foreign policy people need to have a lot more certainty that they're dealing with somebody who has some integrity. sense of principle and when they say one thing they stick to it and trump is not

that kind of a person you can't really bargain you make make you know major deals that affect the future of your country with somebody who turns on a dime and says something else. you know moments after he said something different so i think he's going to have a very hard time convincing. he's serious if he offers some kind of a deal to. the parents of critically ill palestinian infants who have been taken from gaza to a better equipped hospital in israel are being denied access to their children that's because exit permits a far harder for attain for them well our same as a family that lost 2 children separated. by and when i was 7 months pregnant and they diagnosed it as early labor but since

i had in vitro fertilization they didn't have the necessary his abilities. my application was very urgent and i should have gotten approval very quickly from the coordination office because the lives of the mother or children could have been endangered but it took the coordination office 5 days. to get close to him and they said my surgery went fine and the stitches would be removed in gaza i told them i'd least want to stay to breast feed the babies and they said no i kept crying it wasn't easy for me to leave them i didn't know they would leave or die and i went home devastated. the us up and

wish one day felt so bad i was exhausted and at the same night i heard that one girl had died her name was milan she died one week after i went home. but there are sort of when when after a while they told me the other child was not doing well they didn't say he was dad then they said he had to sit in the blood and then they told me that he's heart started. someone called me from the cards nation office and told me you have 10 minutes to get ready and go pick up your daughter so my husband told me some jordan to go right now and pick her up in the shop so much during those 5 months like i had to endure a lot of suffering and depression but thank god all of that went away when i saw my daughter. well

israel has justified its land there and sea blockade of gaza by arguing that it prevents local militant groups from launching attacks the un though has criticized it we sent a request for comment to koch at the israeli body responsible for coordination between palestine's ministration and tell of if a low so far we haven't received a reply physicians for human rights israel and israeli medical n.g.o.s says most children travel without their mothers or fathers according to them more than 7000 permits were issued. 4 miners from gaza last year and fewer than 2000 for parents god or a huge from the ngo told us more about the situation. there is no specific period to have a decision in inquiries for permits it can be one moment in it can be half a year we had cases where people waited for more than one year to affirm it or to

have any kind of decision regarding their inquiry the situation between the kids and their parents influenced their psychological and social situation and we know they're also influenced their recovery and the process of the treatment itself. meanwhile the trumpet ministrations middle east peace plan officially unveiled at a workshop in bahrain has been slammed for allegedly trying to bribe the palestinians into giving up certain political ambitions it offers them $50000000000.00 worth of investment in exchange for some key concessions gaz the explains though why palestine has already rejected trump's bill does the deal of the century. is trump not generous not fair and merciful who outs would offer palestinians such generous conditions such

great perks and amazing bonuses that someone else is presumably going to pay for it don't call it the deal of the century for nothing you know and just as with all great deals it's totally secret political side and the economic side are 2 very robust efforts our thought was that it was better to put the economic plan 1st makes sense when you are offered a job anyone would 1st want to know how much you get paid rather than what the job is and this pays a great $50000000000.00 an investment though they have no idea where that's going to come from a 1000000 jobs in what's left of palestine unemployment slashed to shreds and still the palestinians are unhappy 1st lift the siege of gaza stop the israeli theft of our land resources and funds give us our freedom of movement and control over our own borders and space territorial waters etc then watch us build

a vibrant prosperous economy as a free and sovereign people the plowden or well the pay will be discussed in bahrain this week and the palestinians aren't going and neither of these release which isn't great considering that this is the palestinian israeli peace deal. we're not going to turn this works or the economic situation should not be discussed before the political one as long as there is no political solution no deal with an economic solution. what the palestinians need to understand is that the against and get lose in this case you apparently lose most of your country but still make the gas and coast really nice 40 kilometers of pristine beaches millions of tourists with great palestinian cousy oh yeah about losing half your country part under certain circumstances i think israel has the right to

retain some but unlikely all of the west bank i get why people think this is going to be a deal that only the israelis could love i understand the perception of that i hope everyone will just give the space to listen and let it settle in a little bit yeah i forgot to mention draft of a plan have leaked and according to them palestinians will be forced to give up 60 percent of the west bank it will be forbidden for palestinians to have an army and they'll have to pay israel for protection for ever and if they refuse to go along the us will sanction them to kingdom come also they still have no idea who pays for all of this if it's private investors the palestinians will then have to pay them back presumably if so in effect the palestinians have been asked to. told to give up most of their country in exchange for

a load of the century more like deal of the millennium if you go by how absolutely one sided and absurd it apparently is this is. does not show that the us is. a fair. mediator between the palestinians and the israelis basically referred to a mr burleson years are not capable of ruling themselves this vision violates international resolutions and the law. and you know what it is the palestinians their basic rights and in fact makes it almost impossible or next to impossible means that israel would be allowed to continue to control resources. for the students in the west bank in east jerusalem and that means that it's no longer. a small group buyable ready for the students.

still at brussels is left unimpressed by sleeze lifestyle here on how to deal with it stetson it. is edging closer to leaving the euro zone will have a look at that in more detail he stopped. some time as well like a honeypot everyone believed that it was all on stable and on the reliable of russia but they thought that every one was great over there russian businessmen wanted to do business in the west because they feared some could take everything away from them in russia which now is the opposite dave business is outside of russia was snatched less is frozen the whole blog now the student whine about.

my objection breaks it is not that i'd like to hear you 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. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back you with r.t. now italy has raised the stakes in this ongoing conflict for the european union over the country's debt crisis prime minister mathew cell dean you said it resigned in brussels doesn't green light his proposed tax cuts it comes after the parliament

proposed a new way of debt payments so-called mini bolts a form of financial bond which brussels apparently sees as a potential threat to the euro with more on this. one always feels bad for the e.u. as if the public humiliation of $17000000.00 brits saying they just didn't like it wasn't enough now it's got another troublesome child on its hands italy now while it is the 3rd biggest economy in europe it's also one of the weakest it's plagued by sluggish growth high unemployment and a whole lot of debt and the e.u. is getting a bit and noid that not enough is being done to deal with this debt crisis so it's issued a warning that it will take disciplinary action but the mediterranean countries got other plans and it's come up with a nifty way around it all many blocks or bills of treasury that basically smooth you know that the government would use to pay off people without using real money a bit like a lunch coupon but the financial elites aren't happy they say it's got all the

signs of a new currency and marks the 1st step towards leaving the euro zone. all the. people here remark is here all these many roads doesn't seem to be very promising many better ways to actually deal with the payment of areas. does not require the creation of such instruments bones italian bones could absolutely do the job now the idea of the many bought isn't new similar techniques have been used in argentina greece and california also it's not like it is the only country in the e.u. to have overspent for 10 years front also failed to meet its debt reduction targets that brussels held its tongue but then again france doesn't have

a populist government manned by no euro skeptics. asks me to food brussels. your rules say you cannot feed your child do you think i would respect brussels rules do you think i would feed my child it is decided to wage a war on the home front to aside from the many pots it's also proposed a draft law that would give the government the power to appoint members to the bank of italy the e.u. is flustered fearing the board could end up less independent and more anti you and it's likely disappointed over the loss of an ally on the inside the bank that he reportedly acted on behalf of the european central bank to help oust former prime minister silvio berlusconi. they threaten governments that misbehave with financial destruction they cut off refinancing and threaten to kill the banking system they create a rollover crisis in the bond market this is what happened to italy in 2011 so you can sympathize with the e.u. the current italian government's made no attempt to hide its disdain of the block

the recent e.u. parliament hill actually saw populist euro skeptic parties win ground the threats it uses to dissipate and wayward member states are being bypassed and they're not exactly galloping ahead bracks is shown by resident bit painful alternative you'd forgive the e.u. if it needed a moment to market brough we are trying to find some solutions to. go out for these sorts. of if. we want to see this. because that is a fuck that is not working in the right direction so what we thought. let's see what we see who shows. we took me into west of you know what is causing all these fools walk in that deep you're just the. basics and so i'm not making. or not to be

a big tourist of the. us department of veterans affairs has refused to fully approve a controversial new antidepressant instead it will only be made available on a limited basis however has been urging its adoption something that reportedly saw is consideration fast tracked when the drug goes by the name is made by the pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson and it is intended for use when standard therapies fail not cheap though a year's supply would set a patient back something like 30000 dollars however experts in. sighed and outside the government do fear that the drug could be dangerous the possible side effects of treatment ranged from hallucinations and dizziness to sedation during several years of trials to 6 people who were treated with the drug died 3 of those deaths were suicides however the drugs maker does say that investigators established those

deaths were not linked to their product and continue to tout it as a breakthrough in medicine. spur of arto is the 1st new type of medicine for treatment resistant depression in decades we firmly believe that people suffering from treatment resistant depression including our nation's veterans deserve the opportunity to benefit from this breakthrough medicine. well veterans who assad to reap big problem in the us on average 28 soldiers killed themselves every day a number of doctors reject the idea that the new drug would make any difference the biggest problem at hand is not the drug itself it's the fact that instead of representing a revolution in mental health treatment as it has been touted to do that's get them in is not a breakthrough at all spread to is shown to have a very sly benefit for patients in general but not for a man or people over 65 and that's mostly who the v.a. serves spirit is very unlikely to help most veterans using deviate and so it

absolutely should not be included on the for military when we talk to the vice president of veterans for pace who believes that government should work to improve standards of living for veterans rather than trying to find a new truck. i feel is rooted in problems with the united states system of operating which is bad and less war for the better part of the last 18 years. without any real. safeguards in place for the for the population of veterans or the population in general we don't have secure housing we don't have secure employment we don't have secure opportunities for education we don't have secure health care and the military targets the most vulnerable populations in order to meet its recruitment

standards so we are recruiting people into the military having them face untenable situations and then frankly just trying to find a pill to fix it after the fact which only failed. now in the past few years millions of people from africa have embarked on a dangerous journey in search of a better life in europe however it has it has often turned to tragedy with many drowning as they try to cross the mediterranean now it's nice fisherman is trying to offer some dignity for the dead by creating his own cemetery for those washed up on a nearby sure it is the focus of a new arty film that will show to you in full later today but here's a preview a word of warning there you might find some of the scenes upsetting. oh the stuff.

from the say it. that it's all in the ordinary the. retelling will feel we are too small for you we are all the usual few. manningham. american moment. whom the marshall for medical or one of them accomplished if you. couldn't obsession with looking at the fillmore to whom he had missed mr cole should pay and he didn't. lie to me the busy only victim in this case the one we. believe in any way. for me. to see this. cool to hang.

him also has the blessing. of the church to put up with the student machine photogs. just shifted. to charlotte figure out what's the most importantly. for this loser of the fight each. one of us so much support for the family is the futility of. just. glutinous image to us. modem

a human being from the north she said yes. it is a powerful documentary that you can watch in full later today you're watching our take you to have a company this morning we're back again at the top it. is hard to take so much from somebody if you know have someone replacing. you're going to do this interview today and all these market moving that may take me.

to. syria. so i'm going to tell you stop selling drugs if we'll hire some to put the money in a box. they just mean the way the life has almost been basically mccullers peaceful for the worse do you guys know what security security positions are going to be that. they are jacked me again. you see people get all their cars and i'll see you coming in the harness seems like they'll hurry up and run into the house like they don't want to they don't want to talk to your get your mail or anything like that. i just want to go. and do this. but just try renaming. i mean there now it's in some give me.

one else to show seemed wrong. when all rolls just don't hold. me to the get to shape out just they become advocates and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground. you know world of big partisan movies a lot of theories 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight.
