major sanctions later on monday look at how washington stance on iran seems to be pulling in different directions. the trump administration's middle east peace plan is rejected by palestine with critics accusing washington of trying to bribe arabs and to making political concessions to the israelis. also this hour the parents of critically ill palestinian infants taken from gaza to better equipped hospitals in israel are being denied access to their children exabytes at home it's 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 threatening to resign as rome proposes a new kind of bond which brussels feels that the threat to the euro. you're watching are changing national bring you your 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 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 or who is really to blame for the attack. 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 at the highest levels the drone downing prompted a furious reaction from washington d.c. 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 i'm less 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. through a basket full of paper and then putting it out he helped create the crisis and then he stopped the attacks as r.t. if there's a ton 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 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 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. and discretion for weakness our military is rebuilt new and ready to go if if he 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 world war 3 potential is good sense indeed yet 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 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 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 talk about. on the rise 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 some 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 that he's serious if he offers some kind of a deal to the. the parents of critically ill palestinian and friends 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 the parents of 2 children who died while they were separated ringback. the boy and going to 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. and. 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 all those 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 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. and wished one day i felt so bad i was exhausted and the same night i heard that one girl had died her name was malott 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 card 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 i had to endure a lot of suffering and depression. things gone 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 coke at the israeli body responsible for coordinating between the palestinian 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 ngo says most children travel without their mothers or fathers according to them more than 7000 permits were issued for minors from gaza last year and fewer than 2000 for parents got a much out there who's from the ngo told us more about the situation. there is no

specific period to have a d.c. in inquiries for minutes 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 influences their psychological and social situation and we know that it also influenced their recovery and the process of a treatment that. i mean all the terms and their stations peace plan for the middle east has been slammed before even being officially unveiled for allegedly trying to bribe the palestinians and to giving up certain political ambitions and offer them 50 $1000000000.00 worth of investment in exchange for key concessions thousands of palestinians have taken to the streets in gaza to protest against the peace plan

demonstrators burned american flags and portraits of the u.s. president marked with the words deal of the devil there demanding a complete boycott of the upcoming washington back conference and parties explains why palestine isn't buying into this money talks. 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 is the deal of the said nothing you know and just as with 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 and you wouldn't want to do how much you get paid rather than what the job is

and this pays great 50. a $1000000000.00 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 borders and space territorial waters etc then watch us build a vibrant prosperous economy as a free and sovereign people the platen 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 they cannot make situation should not be discussed before the political one is laws 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 post 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 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. fair. mediator between the palestinians and the israelis basically referred to mr ellison years are not capable of ruling themselves this vision violates international

resolutions and international law. and denies the palestinians their basic rights and then makes it almost impossible for next to impossible that means that israel would be allowed to continue to control the resources of the palestinians in the west bank in east jerusalem and that means that it's no longer possible to have a saw viable ready palestinian state in. the race to be britain's next conservative party leader and thereby prime minister is in full swing but i sky news debate between the 2 remaining candidates has been cancelled after front runner forced johnson failed to reply to the invite and if the former foreign secretary does get the job now and now poll has found his premiership could have huge consequences for scotland as artie's played like a 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 how we departure date from the e.u. and also his private life or raul 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 nicholas jenny 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 no i want he was a foreign secretary with a reasonable time you know he didn't just great. 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 10 by showing 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 religious not just because you don't popping into fearing high tax and complicated 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 person for scottish independence is much higher. more global news after this short break. some time most shows were like a honeypot. everyone believe that it was all unstable and on the reliability of russia but they sold that and if one was great over then 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 know the student whine about. mime section of bragg's 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 riis mog who are who are the certifiably insane. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you than. welcome back italy has raised the stakes in its conflict with the e.u. over the country's debt crisis deputy prime minister matteo salvini has said he will resign if brussels doesn't approve his proposed tax cuts it comes after the italian parliament proposed a new way a debt payment so-called mini bots a form of financial bond which brussels apparently sees as a potential threat to the euro artie's tosca 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 it's only 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 annoyed 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 smooth 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 idiots 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. girls are. here. the people here remark is here all these many boats 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 vaughn's it's highly and von's could absolutely do the job now the idea of the many bought 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. asked me to food brussels. the 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 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 and 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 bit painful

alternative you'd forgive the e.u. if it needed a moment to mop it brow we are sure to find some solutions. go out from the system. we want to change this. because the us is a flock of that is not working in the right direction so we want to fight. flexible we see who shows ready. to me the true west of european countries because we all these. years and just the. basics and so i'm not making. that call me or not making big tourist to the. american veterans who don't respond to normal treatment for

depression will be prescribed ketamine like drug the us department of veteran affairs has partially approved a controversial new drug amid rising suicide rates among retired servicemen and despite lots of questions raised by psychiatry and pharmacologists it will now be prescribed in certain cases with the correct authorizations the drug goes under the name of 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 would set a patient back more than. $30000.00 a year however experts both in and outside of the government fear 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 the drug died 3 of the deaths were suicide however the drugs maker says investigators established those deaths were not linked to the product and it continues to promote it as a breakthrough in medicine. 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 us on average 20 former soldiers kill themselves every day but a number of doctors reject the idea of 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 a man is not a breakthrough at all spirit who was 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 d.v. and so it absolutely should not be included on the for military. we talk to the vice president of veterans for peace she believes government should work to improve standards of living for better and 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. prescribing opiates which became addictive been now we're dealing with an opiate crisis 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 this situation without really taking a step back and trying to figure out what is at the root cause of the suicide of the dominic is a mistake. visitors to a beach on the italian island of sicily have been left trapped after sudden wildfires swept through the area and destroyed their vehicles and

a local car park no casualties have been reported but almost 50 cars were reportedly destroyed in the private car park at the time of noah the local mayor has launched a rescue mission to transfer those visitors now stranded to more safer ground firefighters have been deployed to various districts while an emergency control centers and set up to monitor the situation across the region. but the global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website or to dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. what politicians do something. 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 be cross that's what the 3 of them can't be good. interested

in the water. flow in welcome the crosstalk we're all things are considered lavelle 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 but it's not talked about as why the u.s. feels compelled to go to war washington's obsession with iran is hardly over.
