the u.s. plans to hit iran with a new round of sanctions later on monday look at how washington stance on iran seems to be pulling in different directions. also this hour the trumpet ministrations middle east peace plan is rejected by palestine with critics accusing washington of trying to bribe arabs into making political concessions to these really. and the parents of critically ill palestinian infants taken from gaza to better equipped hospitals in israel are being denied access to their children at the exit permits much harder to obtain for adults. italy and the e.u. are at loggerheads over the country's mounting debt with deputy prime minister at the tail salvini threatening to resign that as rome proposes

a new kind of bond which brussels sees as a threat to the year of. watching our attention national bring you live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the u.s. is piling more pressure on iran with a new round of major sanctions to tehran later on monday the escalation comes in response to iran's downing of a u.s. military drone which the islamic republic says violated its airspace but washington has expressed doubts over who is 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 but we were not convinced that it was authorized at the highest levels. the drone downing prompted a furious reaction from washington preparations to strike iran were minutes away from being put into motion before donald trump intervened he later claimed he wasn't calling off the attack just postponing it but he also says he doesn't want to kill anybody unless it's absolutely necessary political opponents of the president accuse him of creating his own crisis was president trump's decision this week to call off that strike the right one. so the it's like somebody sitting. to a basket full of paper and then putting it out he helped create the crisis and then he stopped the attacks and as our team is eager as donna purports washington's messages regarding iran are 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 i have dubs and i have hawks you have some say . 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 hoax had to take trump's side saying that the president didn't just chicken out neither iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake us. prudence and discretion for weakness our military is rebuilt new and ready to go if if he 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 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 totally one on one talks a little ones or as i want to one talk to any ayatollah or you're going to resonate you can have nuclear weapons and if you want to talk about. 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 iran 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 are far harder to obtain for adults our team at a family that has lost 2 children all separated. ringback 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 facilities. 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. gets most t.m.

and they said my surgery went fine and the stitches would be removed in gaza i told them i'd list 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. that i was up one day and felt so bad i was exhausted and the same night i heard that one girl had died her name was malaki she died one week after i went home. sort of 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 then they told me that he's heart stopped . someone called me from the card to nation office and told me you have 10 minutes to get ready and go pick up your daughter so my husband told me some important to go

right now and pick her up to 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. israel justifies its land air and sea blockade of gaza by arguing that it prevents local militant groups from launching attacks the un though has criticized it program the israeli body responsible for coordination between palestine's administration and television has now responded to our requests for comment it stressed it assists palestinians in delivering health care despite not being responsible for it 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 $7000.00 permits were issued for minors from gaza last year and fewer than 2000 for parents got up from the ngo tell us more about the situation.

there is no specific period to have a d.c. in inquiries for minutes it can be one month and 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 separation between the kids and their parents influences their psychological and social situation and we know that it also influenced their recovery and the process of. the trumpet ministrations peace plan for the middle east officially unveiled at a workshop in bahrain has been slammed for allegedly trying to bribe the palestinians and to giving up certain political ambitions and offers them $50000000000.00 worth of investment in exchange for some key concessions. explains why palestine has already firmly rejected it. 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 great $50000000000.00 in 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 ernest 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 will not 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 coups even oh yeah about losing half your country part under certain circumstances i think israel has the right to retain some but unlikely on 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 loan hill 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 national law. and you know what it is the palestinians their basic rights and in fact makes it almost impossible or next to impossible that means that israel would be allowed to continue to control the

resources of the palestinians in the west bank and east jerusalem and that means that it's no longer possible. saw group buyable for the students to. still to come brussels is left unimpressed by italy's latest idea on how to deal with its debts amid fears rome is edging closer to leaving the euro that story and more after the break. some time as well like a honeypot. everyone believe that it was all on stable and on the reliability of russia but they sold it and if one was great over then russian businessmen wanted to do business in the west because they feel some could take everything away from them in russia which now is the opposite dave business is outside of russia was

snatched less has frozen the whole blog now the sit and whine about. 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. it is not that i like to hear 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 insane. welcome back italy has raised the stakes in its ongoing conflict with the european union over the country's debt crisis deputy prime minister matteo slovenia has said

he will resign if brussels doesn't relight this proposed tax cuts it comes after the italian parliament proposed a new way of debt payment so-called mini bots a form of. which brussels apparently sees as a potential threat to the euro. taylor explains one always feels bad for the e.u. as if the public humiliation of 17000000 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 bots or bills of treasury that basically sniff out

you know it's 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 fast up to a t.v. in the euro zone. and then. it. goes on. the people here. 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 it's holly and 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 spent 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. who 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 governments make no attempt to hide it's the state of the block the recent e.u. parliament chill 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 breakfast shown by resident obit painful or tentative you'd forgive the e.u. if it needed a moment to mop it brow we are sure to find the some solutions who. go out from the system to. we want to change this. because that is a flock of that is not working in the right direction so we want to fight the flexi we see who shows. to me the true west of european countries because we are all these hoops. and that just the.

basics and so i'm not making big. or big big tourist of the. us department of veterans affairs has refused to fully approve a controversial new antidepressant instead it will be made available on a limited basis donald trump though has been urging its adoption something that reportedly saw its consideration fast tracked. the drug goes under the names bravado it's made by pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson and it's intended for use when standard therapies fail not cheap so a year supply would set a patient back more than 32000 dollars a year however experts inside and outside the government fear the drug may be just dangerous the possible side effects of treatment ranged from hallucinations and dizziness to sedation during several years of trials 6 people were treated with the

drug died 3 of the deaths were suicides however the drugs maker says investigators established that those deaths were not linked to their product and continue to hell it as a breakthrough in medicine. bravado 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 better and suicides are a big problem in the u.s. on average 20 x. soldiers kill 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 a skit i mean is not a breakthrough at all spirit who was shown to have a very side 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 we talk to the vice president of veterans for peace she believes that government should work to improve standards of living for better and rather than trying to find a new drug. i 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. that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all of those stories and many more. good food descriptions to sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out and pet food

may not be as healthy as people believe and we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've got allergies we are actually creating these problems and 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. you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to be 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. and shouting past each other it's

a target for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. i don't want to talk to a communist news agency forgive me we'll have to find someone to. lower the trying to stay with us wants to go. from the going to the beach is just like the jews this is exactly when my father.

i mean yes see him through the. movie. we have to be the bad guys. 2 but i think i acknowledge the. fight false and it's an indication of how important most movements are. so that it's also an indication of where the left must move towards we are definitely winning it because we have the people they have people in power but we are in the muscles.

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered a liberal with 10 minutes to spare trump pulled back from attacking iran reception of this new split down the middle or depending on how you view the president what is not talked about is why the u.s. feels compelled to go to war washington's obsession with iran is hardly over.

some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow and he is a professor at the higher school of economics as well as author of the decay of western civilization and the resurgence of russia and in paris we cross to john laughlin he is a lecturer in political philosophy at i says the catholic university of bendy or a gentleman cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate let me go to john 1st in paris with what we have seen happen with trump pulling back with 10 minutes to spare he's created in in amazing dilemma for him for himself and his administration essentially now he's damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't and this is a trap that i would say in my opinion that he he has allowed himself to be painted into a corner by the figures such as pompei or bolton because this crisis and it is a crisis.
