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

matteo still be running to resign as proposes a new kind of bond which brussels sees as a threat we're. watching our 2 international coming to life from the russian capital where it's just turned 4 pm welcome to the program. the u.s. is piling more pressure on the run with a new round of major sanctions to hit tehran later on monday 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'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 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 is at the highest levels. the drone downing prompted a furious reaction from washington preparations to strike iran we're 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 trying to 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 art is a croissant of reports 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 turn 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 you know started out with the

wrong decision and had 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. and. i think i'm 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 when you think message you're trying to send you with this i think they want to negotiate and now how about this donald trump who stake in 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 when. it's a one on one talks when the ayatollah or you're going to resonate you can have nuclear weapons and if you want to talk about it 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 know 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. that he serious if he offers some kind of a deal to. the parents of critically ill palestinian infants who have been taken out of gaza for better treatment in israel are being denied access to their

children that's because permits are far harder to obtain for adults are to met with the parents of 2 children who died while they were 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 his 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. when i was up and wished one day felt so bad i was exhausted and it was the same night i heard that one girl had died her name was malaki she died one week after i went home that. 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 then they told me that he's heart stopped . 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 cordon to go right now and pick her up looked at the shop so much during those 5 months 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 criticized it got the israeli body responsible for coronation between the palestinian and ministration and television stressed to r.t. it assists in delivering health care despite having no responsibility for it physicians for human rights israel and israeli medical n.g.o.s says most children travel with out their mothers or fathers according to them more than 7000 permits were issued for minors from gaza last year and fewer than 2000 parents that my job was from the ngo tell us more about the situation. there is no specific period

to have a decision in inquiries for permits it can be one moment 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 influenced their psychological and social situation and we know that it also influenced their recovery and the process of the treatment itself. meanwhile the trumpet ministrations peace plan for the middle east has been slammed before even being officially unveiled for allegedly trying to bribe the palestinians into giving up certain political ambitions it offers them a $50000000000.00 worth of investment in exchange for key concessions. explains why pastime doesn't buy the money talks. 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 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 workshop 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 again some 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 arsed to. told to give up most of their country in exchange for a load heel 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 international law. and denies 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 come carol resources

the palestinians in the west bank and the stickers on them and that means that it's no longer possible to have a sovereign viable palestinian state. the race to be britain's next conservative party leader and thereby a prime minister is in full swing but i sky news debate between the 2 remaining candidates could now be cancelled amid reports front runner boris johnson has pulled out of it and the former foreign secretary does get the top job his premiership could new poll has found have huge consequences for scotland artist play book explains. the moment he's trying to be as diplomatic as possible ever since the campaign began take a listen to what he sounded like his most recent debate in talking to ask about me . determination. and what i want to do for the for the country and let me

just tell you that when i make a promise in politics about what i'm going to do i keep that promise and i deliver so really boris on his best behavior but he's had to dodge all sorts of questions in relation to bragg's it because his own says leave a lot of wiggle room as to that halloween departure date from the e.u. and also his private life for rao with his much younger girlfriend has been dominating the headlines here and in the midst of all this there are the results of a very interesting poll carried out by a panel based in scotland using a sample of over a 1000 scots and that's found that overall at the moment in scotland there isn't an appetite for independence there isn't a majority wanting scottish independence it's a narrow margin 49 percent want independence versus 51 percent of scots who want to stay in the u.k. but crucially that fine balance tips towards scots wanting independence if you

add one crucial factor it's blown it's got scruffy has it's boris johnson if he is prime minister then 53 percent of scots. say that they would want independence for that country while just 47 percent would be against it and this really strengthens the argument of scotland's 1st minister nicolas sturgeon who says that having boris as prime minister would strengthen the case for independence this was her answering a journalist's question as to whether boris would make a good prime minister know in a word he was a foreign secretary with a reasonable time he didn't display any basic competence seriousness of purpose is not job and i find it actually quite hard to get my head around but knowing everything we know about him the tours are even contemplating putting him into number. shown some really hasn't done himself any favors with scotland really an old opinion column of his when he was

a journalist has thrown up some pretty controversial statements this was dating back to 2005 and in relation to gordon brown but take a listen to what he had to say about scott gordon brown as prime minister would be obsolete religious not just because you don't popping into fearing tax and complicates of life but mainly because he's a scot and government by a scot is just not conceivable in the current constitutional context what this poll really shows is that even if the johnson win is almost inevitable here and it does feel that way scotland is going to be a thorn in the what now seems to be future prime minister's side he's not liked north of the border and judging by this survey if he's in charge the likelihood of another push for scottish independence is much higher your global news update continues after this short break.

my objection to break that 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 and saying.

join me every week on the alex i'm unsure 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 italy has raised the stakes and it's conflict with the e.u. over the country's debt crisis with deputy prime minister matteo salvini saying he will resign if brussels doesn't approve his proposed tax cuts it comes after the italian parliament proposed a new way of debt payment so-called many pots a form of financial bond 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 $17000000.00 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 bots or bills of treasury that basically small value notes 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 an even the euro zone. all there it. goes up. here.

the people who are in markets 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 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. 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 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 chel actually saw populist euro skeptic parties win ground the threats it uses to dissipate and wait what member states are being bypassed and they're not exactly galloping ahead breakfast shown by resident a bit painful alternative 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 flexible. shows ready. to meet the true west of european countries because we or these hoops. and just the. banks and so home we are not making. or will not make big tourist of the. american veterans who don't respond to normal treatment for depression will be prescribed a ketamine like drug the us department of veterans affairs has partially approved a controversial new drug amid rising suicide rates among retired servicemen and

despite a lot of questions raised by psychiatry and pharmacologist it will now be prescribed in certain cases with the correct authorization. the drug goes under the name spray votto it's made by pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson and it's intended for use when standard therapies fail it's not cheap so a year supply it would set a patient back more than $30000.00 a year however experts both in and outside of the government fear of the drug safety the possible side effects of the treatment ranged from hallucinations and dizziness to sedation during several years of trials 6 people who were treated with a drug died 3 of the deaths were suicide however the drugs maker says investigators established those deaths are not linked to the product and it continues to promote it as a breakthrough in medicine spread votto 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 former soldiers kill themselves every day but a number of doctors reject the idea the new drug will 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 as good to me is not a breakthrough at all spirit who was shown to have a very slight 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 formulary. we talked to the vice president of veterans for peace she believes governments should work to improve standards of living for veterans rather than trying to find a new drug. or only kind of kicking the can down the road in terms of future

problems it was 1st. prescribe opiates which became addictive been now we're dealing with an opiate crisis and i can only imagine the kind of mean crisis that will become if doctors turn to prescribing kind of mean on a routine basis 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 and drawing yet another drug into the situation without really taking a step back and trying to figure out what is at the root cause of the suicide of a comic is a mistake that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now thanks for tuning in.

with 10 minutes to spare trump pulled back from attacking iran reception of this new split down the middle or depending on how you deal with the president but it's not talked about is why the u.s. feels compelled to go to war washington's obsession with iran is hardly over. good food descriptions sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose his 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 that food may not be as healthy to be. oh believe we had animals that have you know diabetes and arthritis and they have auto immune disorders and if that allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge of a demagogue problems in all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem

of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets last treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. is hard to take so from somebody if you know have some replacement. or to syria to use market and then they pay me. for your area. so are going to used out selling drugs if we owe her a suburb has the money and it back. into israel the way of life it's almost been basically a coerced peaceful for the worse to you guys who are so.
